"Now Showing"

This update is really a two for one. As I think back 20 years and try to remember our NHS Class of 87's married couples of today, I only remember a few of them being together in high school. Some of them fell in love outside the halls of high school.....like Jean Ingram and Monty Hoover.

Jean writes:

Wow. 20 Years. I'll be the first to admit that High School was just something I had to do before I could get on with the rest of my life :). I don't know about you but I was in a big hurry to grow up and get out there. Now, with children of my own, I just want them to take their time, savor, and enjoy the moments. It seems like time has just fast forwarded and here we are.

Thanks Rami for taking the time to create the blog and for trying to bring us together. Susan sent me the link and I've been hooked. It is really wonderful to be able to read about everyone and find out how they are doing.

I've been fortunate enough to stay in Slidell since school. I accepted a job working for O'Neil Theatres Corporate Office as the Secretary and over the next 17 years worked my way up to Director of Office Operations. I resigned in February 2005 to stay home with my children. I was unemployed for a day and PrintTixUSA offered me the Business Development Director position that allows me to work from the house and be there for my family. I also run a Web Solutions Company called TechCraft Industries So If you need web hosting or design solutions, drop me a line or give me a call! (Yes, I know it's a shameless plug for the business LOL!)

I count myself very blessed in that I am married to the man of my dreams, another NHS Graduate, Montgomery Hoover. Our daughters Victoria (7 years)and Tegan (2 1/2 years) keep us busy. Monty joined the military after school and traveled the world. He has started a Military and Law Enforcement based Motorcycle Club that is now worldwide and he works for Lockheed Martin as a Security Inspector for NASA.

Monty and I would love to hear from you and WAYNE if you read this, let us know how you are doing! You can email Jean at jean@techcraftindustries.com and Monty at merlin@mudpuppies-mc.com

See You all at the Party!!
Jean Ingram Hoover

Thanks Jean for the update.

I love the photos with the updates. I am not sure why they are uploading so small. I am investigating it!!

It is funny. I can go days, even weeks, without an update and then when I get one ~ another one follows. So stay tuned for the next update.

Want it to be yours? Do you come to the blog every few days to check it out? If you don't send it, there will be nothing to read. What are you waiting for? Do you think we would not want to read it? Inquiring minds want to know........don't you enjoy reading the updates? Go on send it in! nhsclassof87reunion@yahoo.com

Also send in your contact info to Kathi at kenelms@bellsouth.net or Susan at sstreets@charter.net

Spreading the Word Around the World

All it takes is for you to tell one person. Then for them to tell one person and so on and so on..... Before you know it our classmates across the land and around the world have heard the news.
Look at where the latest post comes from.............Jeff Palmer in Scotland.

Jeff writes:

Well I was directed to the blog by an email I received from Brennan McCurley, so thank you Brennan.

I never really thought of it as being almost twenty years until I started reading some of the postings. Now I really feel old!

Since leaving NHS I have lived somewhat of a nomadic life. I first trekked off to Houston Texas and attended the University of Houston where I, to the amazement of many, graduated with a degree in Hotel & Restaurant Management. After starting my career within the hotel industry I have moved, moved, and moved again. I have been with Marriott Hotels from just over 16 years now and my travels have taken this route; Houston, Washington DC, Orlando, San Francisco, Denver, Houston and now Glasgow Scotland. I am currently the Director of Operations at the Glasgow Marriott and this job keeps me BUSY. Even though I have moved quite a bit, I have been fortunate enough to live in some pretty cool places.

The down side to this is that you do lose touch with many people over time. I have kept in touch with Mike Shaw and he is currently living in Houston Texas.

I am currently married with one child. My wife's name is Grit and our son is Yonas. My wife is actually from Berlin Germany and we met in Houston. Our son is 3 years old and thank God he got his mom's looks and hopefully her intelligence as well.

So I guess I should get back to work now. Yes it's true hospitality hours are horrible, I am working on a Saturday night! I do hope to hear from some old friends. My email is jeffrey.palmer@marriotthotels.com,

Take care
Jeffrey A. Palmer


Our lost list just got a little smaller by two!! (Jeff and Mike) Thanks for spreading the word, Brennan.

Don't miss any of the post. They date back to May of 2006. Click on the months under Archives (right hand margin) and scroll through the month to read all previously posted updates. Don't see yours??? Send it to nhsclassof87reunion@yahoo.com

"Houston, We Have an Update!"

After what seems like "20" years without an update, we have a new one.......Mike Shaw. Thanks, Mike, for sending us something new to view.

Mike writes:

Jeff Palmer (currently in Scotland managing a Marriott hotel) mentioned the blog to me and I thought I'd touch base. I've attached a recent picture of my daughter (first day of kindergarten) and also a picture of my wife and son with her (we've finally gotten rid of the pacifier!!). My wife and I have been married for 9 years and our daughter (Emma) is 5 and our son (Connor) is 3. I'm currently in Houston with the law firm of Andrews Kurth (been here since attending law school in Houston from 94-97) and would love to come to the reunion, so please keep me in the loop. Thanks for taking the time to do this and please let me know if there is anything I can do to help out.
Michael R. Shaw

Thanks, Jeff Palmer, for spreading the word from across the world. Stay tuned to the blog for Jeff's update!

Speaking of "JEFF"...........Did any of you guess that "Coach Who" was no other than Jeff Panks? Coach Panks is still at NHS. Hopefully we'll get a chance to see him during our upcoming year of reunion events.

Send all blog updates/contact information to nhsclassof87reunion@yahoo.com or contact information to Kathi at kenelms@bellsouth.net or Susan at sstreets@charter.net

Coach Who?

With homecoming plans in the making, this is a face you just may see at a NHS football game.

Do you know which coach this is?

His daughters may give him away.

I did not recognize this man two years ago when I ran into him.......almost literally ran into him. I think if I had a clue that he was once my drivers ed teacher and certainly if he was with his girls, I would have known. But without the clue, without the girls, I passed him right up without a hello. I don't want you to do the same. His wife recognized me and me her, so I did get the chance to talk with him.

Coach who??? Stay tuned and I'll let you know soon.

The blog is in need of a new update. If you have not sent yours and you're reading, it is time you take a minute to do so...... nhsclassof87reunion@yahoo.com Send me your guesses of Coach Who?

Mini Me's

If you don't see mom and dad in these two beautiful faces, pull out the yearbook before going any further to look for these faces as two 87 graduates.

Mom and dad are both NHS Class of 87 graduates. Mom has contacted us, and she is Shelli Dollison Oulliber.

Shelli writes:

Hello everyone...I just had the strangest thing happen tonight: I was driving home after a night of soccer,dinner out, and Academy, when I had a sudden urge tolook at my old Boyet year books. Imagine how shocked I was when I turned on my computer, opened my e:mail and saw a message from classmates leading me to the NHS class of 87 blog! It was great to read about everyone and "YES!" count me in to help out with the reunion! I would love to help plan it!

Here is what has been going on with me: As you all probably remember from 10 years ago, after school I went to UNO then onto LSUMC and graduated Nursing school in 1991. Paul and I were married shortly there after (2 days) and I started work as a Emergency room nurse. We had our 1st child, Tyler, in 1996 and then our 2nd, Emily in 1998. ( Some call them mini Shelli and mini Paul). That was also about the time that Paul and I realized we were just really good friends and decided to get divorced. Today, I am employeed at The Folger Coffee company as the Health Systems Leader, but work most my hours as Tyler and Emily's Mom. Paul is remarried to his wife Suzie and they live in Franklinton. He is still with theLouisiana State Police and hopefully none of you have"bumped" into him :) (So you can take him off the"lost" list)

I would love to hear from you all and can be reached at moulliber@yahoo.com


Thanks Rami and Kathi for taking the time to start the planning!

Take care,

Shelli Dollison Oulliber


As if her mental telepathy story isn't weird enough................ yesterday as she was probably thinking about her Boyet yearbooks, I (being the room mom coordinator for Honey Island Elementary) received a list of room mom from Ms. Bartholomew (who by the way use to be Miss Harrison the 4th grade Soc. Studies teacher at Boyet that many of us had) and there was Shelli's name and number listed as one of the room moms. One of our classmates name and number had just fallen into my hands and the very next day her update fell into the nhsclassof87reunion@yahoo.com email box. Isn't that weird when things like this happen??

Paul we want to hear from you too!

Robert Gunn sent us some more good news........He ran into Kurt Richard as they were both bringing their daughters to gymnastics. Slidell is getting smaller as our eyes are getting bigger!!! Have we always been in the same places with our classmates and never noticed???? We will be waiting to hear from you, Kurt!!

Next time you run into someone or have a mental telepathy moment, we want to know about it at nhsclassof87reunion@yahoo.com

Send your info to the above email address for a blog posting or send your contact information to Kathi at kenelms@bellsouth.net or Susan at sstreets@charter.net

Lost and Found

The first planning meeting was held a few weeks back. If you've been reading the blog, you should remember the details!! Here are the picutres of us as we compiled the "Lost and Found " list of our classmates.


Here is the "Lost" well Missing list compiled at the meeting. A few have contacted us since so if you see your name on the lost list, please contact Kathi to make sure she has your info. I know some of you are "secret viewers" who have not sent us your contact information so if that is you or if you see someone else's name on the list please contact us with the information. Also if you remember someone that should be on the list and is not, contact us. I know there are some that finished up during the Summer of 87 so we may not have them on the list, but want them to be part of the reunion.
