Nice job starting the blog and thanks for the email. There have been a number of times I have wanted to catch up with various people only to be to lazy to actually work at it. Now you guys put the blog together and make it to easy for me. It just reinforces my theory that if I wait long enough to do something someone will do it for me. Thanks for putting this together and thanks for the email inviting me to join.
I would be in for the reunion. My parents still live in the area and we visit a number of times a year.
My story... After college I worked a couple of jobs that I did not care for. I decided to go to graduate school at the University of Southern Mississippi, where I met my wife and got married. Did an internship at Austin Peay State University in Clarksville, Tennessee. Got my first real job at the University of Maine where we had our first daughter, Natalie, now 8. Moved to Virginia where I work at Virginia Tech and had a second daughter, Erika, now 3. We have been here for almost 9 years and really enjoy the area.

Hi Colin!!
Wow, you've been busy. Good to see you're on board if/when the reunion should occur.
Your girls are beautiful. You can tell who their daddy is.
Hope to see you soon
Jen
welcome Colin - glad you're on board. and don't listen to Lew, the girls don't look anything like you, they're very cute.
i googled you and found all kind of references on the hokie(VT) web site. read some articles where you were quoted as saying this and that. it's bizarre, for the most part, the last time any of us saw each other we were just kids and now we are all grow'd-up (relatively) like real people.
btw - the "Steve" listed under contributors is Steve Roth. toss some abuse his way, shame him into saying a few words. i thought the pic might do the trick, but no.
Colin, good to hear from you. The kids look great. Glad you're doing well.
I've got a few pics up at www.paukovitz.com
Thanks for all the nice comments about my kids. I sure think they are cute and I am aware they look like me. It is my hope that as the years go by they look less like me and more like their mother.
I was up in Pennsylvania for the annual Howlett lighting of the yule log and then was back just a week ago for my mom's 60th birthday. Next time I am up I will try to make sure that I see some people.
I guess I am a grown up but any quotes attributed to me should still be viewed with some suspicion at least. I can not shame Steven Roth as he is the only person I have kept up with at all. He may owe me an email or it may be the other way around but we have communicated at least a little bit. (Once a year?) Besides he was the best man at my wedding.
Good to hear from you guys.
Being shameless, I'm incapable of being shamed into any activity.
If anyone is to be shamed, it's Mike Mullen for dodging my several attempts to find him over the years. My mom voted for him, even!
Col, holy crap! When I saw the pic with Natalie I suddenly realized I'm an old guy. Hope all is going according to everyone's respective sinister plans.
talk about shameless, using your own mother's vote to guilt Mullen into returning a call.
Steve - great to hear from you, and what about your sinister plans, how is your evil empire shaping up?
Colin, your girls are gorgeous.
Vicki
Colin, your girls are adorable. It was good to hear what you have been up to.
Dodging is such an ugly word... Like Colin said, lazy is more accurate...
I've been meaning to post an update on my last two decades, but I've been incredibly busy the past few weeks. Then every time I try to carve some time out to do it, someone else has just added a post. And I don't want to be that guy that bumps them down.
Besides, let's face it, I talked enough in high school to last 20 years, so I'm sure the less I write the better.
It's great to hear from everyone and - for the record - I'm the one who gave Matt the e-mail addresses for Colin and Steve, even if I don't get any credit on Pauko's big board on the website...
I only post names under "to help locate" if someone needs to be located. Maybe we need some kind of prize for the person who locates the most people. Hmmm...?
you know i just saw that on Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends yesterday.
Dave - you are Blue.
