But life goes quickly. Those who once touched your life should know how important they are as individuals. For me life has been good. I am Happily Married for 32 years to my wife, Cathy.

Well maybe I just don't act any older. I JUST finished getting my BA at UC Davis in Sociology/Documentary Film and am involved in making short films, and Documentarys... Duh... Education is so wasted on the young. I am married to the most wonderful man in the world (you know what they say, the 4th time's a charm). My husband Mark McKinnon is a Physics Professor at UC Davis and really knows why the sky is blue. In his spare time he sings musical comedy in local theater. I have a 24 year old daughter Sierra who was married last summer. We survived that and now I know I can survive anything...maybe even getting older...eventually

Deprecated: Function split() is deprecated in /home/south/public_html/directory.php on line 132 Stephen Cannady Voted most likely to be a Concert Pianist, I fell short of the purer faith of education an opened my own business at twenty-two years old. I did try the corporate world, but as the saying goes: "The corporate world is like a dog-sled team - unless you're lead dog the view is pretty much the same." Married and divorced twice, (I've never had a lucky face) I have a daughter twenty-six and a son fourteen. My first wife Cyndi works as my bookkeeper. This works well when she asks me for money: I always respond, "Sure, do we have any?" My second ex, Kim and I have begun dating again. The charity of women will never cease to amaze me. My daughter now works with me after spending several years with the Carlsbad Children's Museum as Manager. My son is pulling a 3.5 GPA. I know he didn't get it from me. I live in Carlsbad, California, which used to be a quaint little town. I like to cook, although you would never know it by how much I weigh. I blame my svelt appearance on trying to keep up with my very athletic son. I hope I can make the 30th reunion and laugh about God's inifinite sense of humor.

I have also managed to live in St. Paul, Seattle, Nashville, and am currently in Lombard, Illinois, a suburb about twenty miles west of Chicago, a city I have come to dearly love. I am a professor of English at a small college out here, Elmhurst college, where I have been for 12 years. I have been married for almost 20 years and have twin boys older than I was when I was at South. Life has been, and continues to be, good to me. I like to teach, I get to read a lot, I've done some writing, and I do some acting from time to time. Most of my writing is in the form of articles, though I have had a couple of plays performed, one professionally. My happiest discovery is that, almost 30 years after high school, I can say that the young "idealists" proved to be right all along.

I wish I could remember the handful of people that said a kind word, smiled or spoke to me. They never knew how much that meant and how I missed my many friends in Ohio! Monica Gaines, you were my first best friend in California. Thank you to you and your family for your many kindnesses. I will always remember our walks to the beach and our life's ambition which was keeping up our tans! (laughing) Now my daughter is doing the same thing! I will always remember the love and kindess of your entire family. XXX
