Duane and Karyn Most Popular: Class Of 1985 43 Class Prophecy Well, it’s 1995 and here we are at Rob’s cottage anxiously awaiting the night ahead. It’s been ten long years since the class of 1985 left Wheeler High School and we’ve all gathered here for our reunion. Let’s go on in and see what everyone’s been up to since then. A crowd’s beginning to gather around Julius Oboma who is breakdancing in the middle of the room. His brother Michael, who owns a hotel chain on the west coast, is here also. Ranger Keith Umphlett is in the crowd looking for bounty hunter Kevin Halley. Kevin has spent the last five years searching for Linda Tennant known to us as Moose. We also find Timothy Viele in the crowd. Tim played basketball for the Boston Celtics and is now coaching girl’s basketball at Beaver College in Pennsylvania. Paul Gray played baseball for the Red Sox and now is a gym teacher at Wheeler after Mr. Brooder retired. Pro golfer Jeff Martinelli is talking with Paul and near him we find the successful architect Terry Patton who recently designed a new treehouse for Jane Dibble. AAAAhhh!! That howl came from Jane who just swung in on a vine and knocked electrician Ronald Lewis on the floor. No need to worry about Ronnie, Doctor Sheila Sherlock and Nurse Tammy Gerrish responded immediately to his accident. We hear Mark Allen just drove in with Kim Bialek in Mark’s ’71 green Chevy pickup. Mark is a plumber and Kim is teaching English at Wheeler. CRASH!!! It looks like Sheila and Tammy are going to be kept busy tonight. Renee Davis just tried to park on the dance floor and also on top of the owner of Ye Olde Package Store, John Lindner. Here comes fireman John Carner to pull Renee out of the wreck. The band has started playing with William Conrad whaling on lead guitar and concert violinist Nils Kleinberg. Singing vocals are Julie Umphlett who had plastic surgery to make her lips as big as Mick Jaggers so she could sing old Stones tunes. It’s time for supper. The class is treated tonight by the delicious culinary delights of Lara Cummings. Nils! Nils!” Who’s this? It’s Mrs. Kleineberg taking Nils away to violin practice. Marc Bosse is taking pictures of the events tonight. Marc owns Bosse Studios which is his professional photography studio. Over by Marc is Richard Morgan who is a car designer at G.M.. He is talking with Ihor Nadberezny the owner of the fastest Honda Civic of all times which has been clocked at a breakneck speed of forty-seven miles per hour. We have another car designer in the class, Paul Sollenburger. Here comes Joe Boissevain and Lisa Van Lew back from their tenth honeymoon in Hawaii. They have been married and divorced once a year since high school. They were followed in by the premier of Laos Ken Amkhamavong who led an army that overthrew the Communists there three years ago. Marie St. Pierre and Paula Knight couldn’t make it this evening because they are in their Hacienda in Madrid following extensive tour of Spain and Portugal. Also missing this evening is Timothy McKenna who is listed as missing in action” in Nicaragua. Carrie Burger, a flight attendant on the space shuttle is handing out life jackets to everyone. I think that the lack of gravity is beginning to affect her. Judy Parent, Marcie Hickey, and Bob Wydler are also involved in the shuttle program. Judy and Marcie work on computers in Mission Control Center. Air Force pilot Bob Wydler will be making his first shuttle flight this summer. What have the other class members been doing? Here’s Danielle Slavic and Bridget Bates who have opened the Eatable Fantasies Shop” in downtown New York City. We just found out that Kathryn Marshall is being held hostage in Iran while on a mission with the CIA. Robert Taylor finally owns his dream Super Sport and has it serviced regularly by Dennis Girardin, who is a gas station attendant. Bonnie Ward owns her own beauty salon and David Lassan is working for his father as a welder. Christopher Mayhew has gone on to become a carpenter while Robert White and Fonda Hardiman have become professional partiers. Beep-beep-beep. Oh no, Doctor Sherlock’s beeper just went off. She has to go pick up Chad Sweet and Duane Witter. Chad drove Duane’s new Rolls Royce off a cliff on their way over here. Won’t he ever learn. Kris Karsten the flower child owns her own flower shop and is handing out flowers to everyone. She just gave one to Sister Lisa Bressani, now a nun at St. Mary’s. Tina Gavitt the happy living housewife is now married with her seventh child on the way. Barry Jason is now happily living in an igloo in Northern Alaska and working as an RV mechanic. Sally Miner supplied the ice cream tonight from her dairy bar and Dana Discuillo supplied the potatoes from his farm in Idaho. Other food came from farmer Mary Beattie. Mark Bond is telling about the latest novel he read to Rebecca Harrison, who is an elementary school teacher. Connie Perrone i? working at Patty Pounch’s Chippendale Industries. Jim Ross just got his Trans-Am back on the road, and the very next day wrapped it around a telephone pole. Karyn Pressler is a struggling artist on welfare in Greenwich Village. Valerie Austin and Nadine Burgess are secretaries at a law firm. Michelle Kallen is a sports announcer with Howard Cosell on Monday Night Football. Katie Brean is a famous lady wrestler and is looking for someone to wrestle with. Father Herbie Bliven and Sister Lisa Bressani now ask for a moment of silence for our dear friend and stuntman Charlie Morgan who has a broken leg. Here comes Charlie now, hobbling through the door with his cast. Doctor Stephen Cote shook too much while setting Charlie’s cast, the cast ended up crooked.-Stephen is wanted in twenty-two states and thirteen foreign countries for malpractice. He lost ninety percent of his patients. And now as the night comes to an end and the weekend nears the class has just one question to ask: WHERE’S THE PARTY?” 45 King • Marc Bosse Queen • Terry Panon Class Of 1985, Junior Prom Saturday, May 19, 1984 The Swiss Chalet Charlestown, Rhode Island Court: Lisa VanLew, Nadine Burgess, Kristine Karsten, Mary Beattie, Terry Patton (Queen), Marc Bosse (King).
