Hello! I was checking out the website - looks like everyone had a great time! I'm so sorry I missed it! My husband and I were celebrating our 16thanniversary. I'm hoping we have a reunion for 25 years! Would anyone know how I could get ahold of a copy of our senior year yearbook? I lost it when we moved several years ago, and I would love to have one. I'd appreciate any help.


MIGUEL DE GUIA: I just wanted to thank the committee for doing such a great job with the reunion. I really had a lot of fun and wished it could have gone on longer. Thank you again for all the hard work you did.

3/28/02 Dawn (Smith) Evans, Hi everyone. I just wanted to let you all know I am still around and will be attending the reunion. I live in Firestone Park with my husband, Clint. We've been married for 15 years. I have two step sons, 22 and 20. I didn't have any children of my own, but my brother, Jeff, has two girls and my sister, Lorie, has a girl and a boy. My nieces and nephew keep me pretty busy. I work for the City of Akron in the alcohol and drug counseling office. I am the support staff supervisor. I hope you will all recognize me. I don't look that much different. Just older, fatter, and a whole lot wiser!!! Take care.


2/20/02 Mary Lou Cirignano, living in Barberton in her own place and getting along great. Will be attending the reunion banquet and looking forward to it!

2/15/2002 Larry Bostic (lbostic@uspsoig.gov) As an old voice from the past, I would just like to say hello, and let everyone know that I am still alive. I am so unhappy that I missed our 10 year reunion, will be sure to make our 20!!!Just to update everyone, I moved from Ohio in 1984 to join the Military. After 6 years as a Criminal Investigator for the Army, and working in Korea, Japan, Philippines, Colorado, Alabama (probably a couple of other places), I took a job as a Federal Agent with Department of Defense, and working liaison with the Secret Service, State Department and Department of Justice. Approximately 2 years ago, I was offered a position as a Regional Director as a Postal Inspector, and now I am responsible for Ohio, Pennsylvania and W. Virginia, overseeing about 25 people conducting white collar crime. I have been very fortunate, and although I have had to move (in addition to the above locations) to Florida, Indiana, Washington DC, Virginia, a short stint in Cleveland and Maryland, I have hopefully been moved for the last time, to settle down in Pittsburgh, PA. My parents have stayed in contact with Dr. Brian Donnelan. Brian Boltz and I are still best of friends, but besides that I have fell out of touch with most of our colleagues. I am now married, with a lovely wife, and 2 year son, I look forward to seeing everyone. Feel free to provide my email address to any Coventry 82 graduates. Take care and best of luck.

11/7/2001 Dan & Nancy (Gorby) Spitznas had a baby girl last week! Congratulations!

11/23/01 Dave Poppenhouse and his wife had a baby girl named Maria Theresa.
Congratulations to Dave on the addition to his family!

4/8/01 Chris Curran Sunday: I am sorry to say we won't be able to make the reunion. We had our second
baby and she is still too small for us to leave with anyone for that long.
I will definitely want to keep in touch and see what the future brings.
Enjoy the reunion!

Now, he runs a non-profit called Public Safety Support Services. This is a ministry and grief/traumatic stress debriefing work for the police, firefighters and paramedics in the San Francisco Bay Area. Mike has 2 grown daughters (ages 25 and 24), and we have a 2 year old daughter, Rachel. She is so much fun. Life is good!
I will do everything possible to attend the reunion. Having been away all these years, my memories of our classmates and the time we spent at CHS are sweet. And I am so looking forward to reconnecting and seeing how we all "grew up". :)

I wanted to inform you that I recently came accross a 1982 class ring. I recieved it from a man in Indiana. He sent it to me because he found www.coventryband.com. All I know for a fact is this is a 1982 class ring that belongs to a band member. If anyone you know is missing one have them e-mail me and we'll see if it belongs to them.
