Douglas  Doe

Public Information Specialist, Oklahoma Department of Human Services

Edmond, OK   73003

After going through the dot-com bust of the early 21st Century, I found myself without a job for a number of months. The company for which I worked, Cox Interactive Media, ceased operations on Dec. 31, 2002, and laid everyone off. For a short time I worked as a temporary training assistant in a loan center for the largest privately-owned bank in Oklahoma, MidFirst Bank. In late May, I was hired by the Oklahoma Department of Human Services as a Public Information Specialist. The agency is the largest in the state with more than 8,000 employees. Currently, I am working on technology-related projects for the Office of Communications and the agency's Data Services Division, which houses all of the agency's technology specialists. Also, I am assigned to special projects for the Director of OKDHS, who is also the state cabinet secretary for Health and Human Services.

As for my family, my wife Lynne (we got married in 1994) is running a home day care and loving every minute of having five nearly two-years-old or older running around the house. Our daughter Carolina (two this past January) is knee-deep in the "terrible twos."

I hope everyone is well, and would enjoy hearing from any of you.

I have been married for 16 years to fellow York High alumni Nikki Mckinnon, we have 2 children, Nicholas 15, and Macki 13. Like all kids they keep us very busy. I work for the world famous York Water District. I hope we can all get together for our 20th, its been along time for all of us, and it would be great if we could see each other again. There are some teachers at the High School that are feeling their age after meeting my son, who is a freshman this year. So if there is anyone thinking about getting the Class of 1987 together in 2007 and needs some help with anything please get in touch with me. Cheers!!!!!!!

It is great to see a network established. There are many people from school that I would love to correspond with, but have lost touch. Our ten year is here, and there aren't any plans for a reunion. Hopefully, this website can help get the ball rolling!

Hi Everyone!!  I currently live in Jacksonville, FL.  I am employed by ADP.  I married Larry in February 1998.  We have 1 dog and 2 cats.
Whenever I come back to Maine to visit, I realize how much I want to move back home.  Maybe in a few years...  Of course my parents bought a campground in Lebanon (land of Noble High) so I hold my head high and tell them I am from York (and that we beat them in every sport imaginable).  Of course I must visit the Nubble every chance I get.

I would love to hear from you.  Here in the land of perpetual sunshine.

Take care of yourselves.

Police Officer

Georgetown, KY 40324

I'm living in Georgetown, KY just outside Lexington. I'm working for the University of Kentucky Police Department (Yes the Wildcats). We're really enjoying it here in Kentucky. Very beautiful with all the horse farms around. 

We just bought a brand new home in Georgetown and are moving in the 1st of June. My wife works for two Doctor's who also own a horse farm. Needless to say both my girls (now 12 and 8) are begging for a horse. 

We still miss Mississippi, but it was time to move on. My wife and I are looking forward to visiting Maine again soon. 

My dad still lives in Cape Neddick. I went ice fishing this past winter in Maine, guess you can't get the New Englander out of me. Everyone here thought I was crazy. 
By the way, if anyone is looking for a good place to work UK is always hiring. Plus you get to go to the Basketball games for free. 

Hope to hear from Ya'll.

We are currently looking for people from the class of '87 for a reunion. 

Michele "Keefe"  Rigsby

Student of Dental Hygiene

Albuquerque,   NM   87118

Hello everyone!  I became a member of York High School in 1983, and I left in 1986.  My father was in the Air Force, and we moved to California.  I wish I could have graduated with you all, but that's military life for you.  Soon after moving to California, I met my husband, Rick.  We married November 1987.  He is also in the Air Force and we have lived in many wonderful places including Germany, Loring AFB, ME, Oklahoma, North Dakota, Houston, and now Albuquerque, NM.  It has been a great 13 years.  We have two beautiful
children, Daniel-10, and Amanda-8.  I am currently attending the University of New Mexico pursuing a degree in dental hygiene.  I look forward to hearing
from former classmates.

Police Officer     
 
Eliot, ME  03903

I've been married for 8 years and have a wonderful son.  I received my Bachelor of Science degree from the University of Rhode Island in 1991. 

I was in college and came across the summer police positions at York Beach and there I knew what career I wanted.  I'm currently a Police Officer for the Town of South Berwick. 

I was hoping this alumni page would assist in making contact with some of my friends that I have lost contact with over the years. 

Lastly. My quote in the yearbook of 1987 was why do it today when it can be put off until tomorrow is definitely not applicable to the "real world."  I hope to hear from some people soon and this alumni page is a great idea.   I can't thank Mr. Watters enough for being such a wonderful teacher and  friend.  Thank You York High School, it was the most cherished part of my life.

Have just moved to Buffalo after living on the West Coast for 7 years. Been working for Customs for 9 years and too many bizarre stories to tell! Married May 1999 to Jim, a FBI Agent. No kids yet but hoping we will soon. Have lost touch with just about everybody and would like to have a reunion in the near future...15 year  Reunion is not too far off! I would love to hear what everyone else has been up to the last 13 years!

Kelley "Furnas" Bates

Knoxville, Tn

After graduating from YHS, I went on to get an Interior Design degree from Florida State University.  I worked in that field and lived in Orlando for 10 years until the birth of my daughter Sydney, now 18 months old.  My husband Kevin and I have been married for 5 years and we just recently moved to Knoxville, TN where I am now a stay home mom.
I would love to hear that our class is going to get a reunion together, and would be willing to help in any way possible. Please feel free to contact me. I try to get back to York atleast once a year.  Really do miss it (even though Florida will always be home)
I would love to hear from fellow alumni....it's been so hard to stay in touch with everyone.

Lianne "LaBonte" Cronin

Internet Manager

Eliot,  ME  03903

After living in Atlanta, GA for 3 years and Denver, CO for 2 years, my husband of 7 years (Jim Cronin class of '86) and I have moved back to the area. We have 9 month old identical twin boys - Brian and Garrett
- who keep us pretty busy. Currently we live in Eliot, but would like to be in York eventually. There's just something fundamentally wrong with having the
boys grow us as Marshwood Hawks and not York Wildcats!

I am currently employed as the Electronic Commerce Internet Manager at Liberty Mutual in Portsmouth. Jim works as a promotional goods sales rep out of the home. We'd both love to hear from any class mates out there!

So much has been going on. I've traveled a bunch for work and fun, but I’ve settled back here close to home. I did the corporate thing at Timberland for six (long) years and now I’m working in Scarborough, ME for what feels like one of the last US manufacturers of Rope and Cord. It is hard to believe but I met the woman I want to marry – we are getting hitched in September. Other then that, I get in as much backcountry snowboarding as I can squeeze in.
