Well, I am sure that most of you have forgotten Nick "The Brown" Brown, I know I have, but he is back. Apparently, Nick, working in some intensive hot job, was surfing the web and after going through 685 pages of google, found yours truly's web page. Some fun emails later, he sent me these. The bottom photos also include one of GDS's shinning stars, no it is not him in the Blue Man Commercials, but he did stay in a Holiday Inn Express. You be the judge.

Class of 1994 updated April 2005
As most of you probably know, we lost a very big personality and smile in our class this past february when Chuck Wagoner passed away, leaving a beautiful daughter, Riley and his wonderful wife Julie (Rainey - class of 92). It was/is a sad day to lose a founding member of BOG and a life long friend that I have know since 1st grade. A big reason of not updating my web site has been my uncertainty of what to say, if anything, about Chuck's death. I have decided that confronting my issues with him leaving us so soon will hopefully help me deal with this loss in positive manner. (sounds like something Mr. Richardson would want us to say)
Anyway, I miss Chuck more than words can say. I am having to scan my photos of him(no digital cameras at GDS or when we were at State together), at least the ones that I or my mom had of him so the process is taking some time. I had the wonderful privilege of living with Chuck our red-shirt senior senior at State, I wish more than anything that I had taken more photos of us together. We had a fantastic time, laughing more that year than I care to remember. I am going to create a page for anyone who would like to post messages, stories and photos about memories they have of Chuck. Please start sending them, I am not going to post anything until I get a significant amount. Keep Julie, Riley and Melonie in your prayers.


GDS Class of '94 Reunion!

Wow, are you kidding me? We just had our ten year class reunion! It was amazing to see some of the faces that I had not seen in 10 years. We have doctors, lawyers, bankers, mothers, activists (shocker), textile workers - Joey admit it, you work in the mill, turkey promoters, journalists, and my favorite - students (Yes, you Kulbir, I mean really, you should have finished undergrad by now) and we must not leave out - Mr. Computer - Todd Miller. Not to leave out myself, - mobile homes sales have never been better. We also have husbands, wives, boyfriends, girlfriends and shockingly enough - children. It was a great turn out, special thanks to Claire, Ross and Leslie Ann - Holmes - Hummel, who put together a great reunion and even volunteered their parents house. I was kind of hoping that Linda Sloan would be out of town so that we could finally see the inside of her house, never been to a party there! I also enjoyed talking to all the new husbands and wives and I was amazed that Todd Miller flew all the way in just for event, though I was sad not to have the keg party at his house. I was a little saddened that none of the GDS teachers were there, oh well, we were not the favorite class every to come out of GDS. I suppose it has something to do with the small amount of donations to come from us as well. Anyway, I have a few photos, please send more if you have them. I will post them and I might even add a witty remark or two. Please, each of you, keep me updated on what or who your are doing. Also, I was annoyed at how little each of you remembered, let us work on that, maybe some flash cards or letter books will help. I hope that we do not wait until our 20th to get together. Just remember, "When I say Green, you say Gold!" - Julian London's grandmother at most any sporting event.


The Unofficial GDS
Class of 1994 Home Page

I graduated from an illustrious career from Greensboro Day School 10 years ago. I spent 14 years of wandering its famed halls, in the immortal words of Charles Demar* " I am no dummie!". I was privileged enough to have some of the best teachers, coaches and janitors. Yes, in case you forgot, Roger Moore kept a tidy campus. This page is a walk down memory lane for myself and anyone who wishes to pay it a visit. I would like to see if I can find out what everyone is doing, done, or going to do, that I sat next to, ran the mile with, shot staples at, played butts-up with, traded garbage-pail kids with, argued NCAA tournament picks with, and even studied with. I will make my list up entirely out of memory! The remarks made by each name will come from what I know, and from what you know. If you have a tidbit of info on someone, send me an email. I will also be accepting photos - new and old. I will gladly spread most any rumor if you send it in, though your name will go next to what you want me to post.
Let us continue our walk down memory lane. Greensboro Day School, proud and true, our success we owe to you... you are suppose to bounce when you read this line, it is a guarantee that it will deeply upset Dr. Davidson. I don't think that Mrs. McLellan had any idea that when she taught us our alma-mater that emphasizing the beat would lead to such naughty students.


The List.
The names on this list are probably spelled wrong, and they are in alphabetical order for the first name.

Elenor Buet Put up with way to much shit from us. I apologize on behalf of my fellow classmates for how we acted. 6th grade accused me of calling a barking on the phone when it was Brian Newman.
Elizabeth Arbuckle I have known Elizabeth since Kindergarten. She even had her mom come in and do an ultra sound on her when she was pregnant with Adadel. I know she wanted the keep the beef long on the junior class trip more than anyone else. Christmas 2003 Graduated from Columbia.Deep down she wants to help the Republican Party sweep the democrats out of Greensboro.

Erin Coyle well after getting an update email from erin, where she informed me that she was not a shy, nice or quiet girl, i have decided to change her write up. Erin was/is wild girl. Erin is now living in or around wilmington and running her own massage parlor. well, that sounds a little whorish, she is actually running a spa, health center, and theraputic massage clinic.

Graduation Loved AC/DC and actually had a yellow mohawk under a wig of dark curly hair.
Eva Doringer Loved to carry the Beef Log on the junior class trip. She actually went by the name "Effa and the Beef Log". Graduation or 11th grade. I think she went back good ole Deutschland. Missing the beef log?
       
George Revington George walked into our lives in 5th grade wearing a "Gators" soccer jersey and it was downhill from there. George not only came up with the phrase, "Dude, you just gotta learn not to care.", he also embodies it. George had the priviledge of living with me at NCSU, though the tough academic standards caused him to transfer to Guilford where he lived with two witches. George suffers from a severe maladay that might not be curable, he likes the Chicago Bears, Boston Celtics and soccer. Please pray for him. Last week when he came to get fly fishing lessons. Maybe moving to D.C.. Maybe staying in his room reading Terry Brooks and eating stale chips with Texas Pete.
Maybe catching on to fishing.
Gerald Parr Gerald made quite an impression on several of us in the back of Mrs. MacClellan's music room, as well as Grandparents day. (You know who you are) Unfortunately, Gerald made the decision to take the brake off the GDS bus and let it roll onto the soccer field. His defense was that Chuck's cousin Scooter dared him. (ah, a dare from Scooter is one that should never be turned down.) Standing in line for concert in 4th grade, where he pretended that he did not know or remember us. Graduated from Page or Grimsley.
Gill Green My friendship with Gill did not really happen until after he had left the Day School. Though I do have several memories of Gill from kindergarten. Gill was the first color blind person I ever met, his mom made the best french onion soup (she ran The Elms). Gill always wore bluejeans and was the worst soccer player I ever knew. Covering my car with eggs and hay after a night out on the town in Boone. Gill went on to American University, where one of the greatest college road trip stories ever happened. Gill is now working in Africa for a grad school program at NCSU. He is due to return in 2005.
Glenn Heyman Glen was only briefly with us in kindergarten. Glen stayed back with Anne Meyer. He often wore a sweat shirt that had a frog on it. Block Busters in Raleigh, we both recognized each other. The last time before that was 5th grade. Was deeply in love with Mrs. Frost.
Grant Prigge
Yankee bastard invades south, promptly breaks leg and proceeds to get very fat. Grant manages to give Clara the "How you doin'" and starts a romance that has span many years and continents. Grant did participate in one of the greatest "were snowed in and can't get home" trip ever. Thanks to a two wheel, rear wheel drive BMW, an inch of snow, my parents mountain house and 6 cases of beer we just had to stay. came back to good ole USA for Joey's wedding. Knows that Yankees talk funny, that I can give him ski lessons, and that he is really a secret admirer of Lindsay Carlson.
Heather Gonzalves Fastest girl on the play ground. I had a big crush on her in first grade. She came to visit in 3rd grade, but I acted to cool for school and did not go and talk to her. Third Grade none
Heather Maddox I have known Heather since kindergarten! She has alway been a huge Grateful Dead fan, though I do not recall seeing any tears when Jerry died. Heather was a great soccer player who could really "boot it". The only guy at the Day School that she ever dated to my knowledge was our Li'l rebel, Chris Vaitisis. Heather was also the secret leader of Anti-AP History, Joey and I were the only other members. Graduation Heather was in law school at UNC. I heard through the grapevine that she may be in Boston practicing law. I think she may have had deep attraction to Mr. Jazirri.
J.T. Waldon J.T. pulled the greatest move on a parent, ever. One friday night at around 2 am, we stumbled out on another keg party at Ben Pines's house, to see a white mini-van. Inside was J.T.'s mom. She was wanting to know "when is ya'lls soccer team party going to be over?". Graduation This is great rumor, I know he is living in Washington (state) after getting kicked out of ECU for unspecified reasons. He apparently had a kid and did not agree with how "mom" was raising the li'l one, so he kid-napped the kid and took he/she back to good ole NC, only to be arrested somewhere along the way. This info comes from a reliable source - Sedgewick Summers.
Jacob Richards Well, we all know that Jake had many moments. My personal favorite was when he was running his mouth in art class about how my painting sucked, and so I stuck my paint brush, full of blue paint, right in his talking hole.
Also, when his piece of crap station wagon blew up in the driveway and melted all of his tapes. I laughed myself silly when Joey broke his bed. Another Jake moment was when he told his sister's friend that the urn that she had just knocked over was filled with his grandmother's ashes, she freaked out and ran out the door crying. He was also the first in our class to get his licence.
graduation. Jake made a terrible decision to end his life, much to the regret of his family and friends. I would have liked the oppertunity to have told him that I thought he was funny and good friend. I made the mistake of not pursuing our friendship after it started to grow apart in 10th grade. You will always be missed.

Jake, I hope you can forgive me for that mistake.

Jenny Adams Jenny, I am sorry, but I totally busted you in Mrs. Phelps's class eating a bugger. I remember you had a brother named Noah and your mom was a good first grade teacher. I never believed the rumor that Brian Adams was your cousin. 6th grade I think you may have gone to Grimsley.

Ross Vanderlinden

aka "menstrel boy" for his frequent nose bleeds. I have know Ross since kindergarten. His other nickname is tiny tank, according to his wife, because he has to urinate quite frequently.

Ross also used to drive a red camaro, and would set the cruise control on
Cone Blvd. When he was going 37 miles per hour!!

And, for Ross and/or Chuck, would be worth telling the story of them living
at Myrtle Beach in the No-tell Motel, and how Chuck saw a fly in the ice
cream maker at his and Ross's new job. Chuck tried to get the fly out with a
plastic spoon, lost his balance and dropped the spoon into the ice cream
where it got broken up into tiny pieces. Instead of telling the boss and
correcting the problem, Chuck just quit showing up, and took it easy that
summer. (Ross kept on going to work!)

Ross took me to the locol grease pit of downtown charlotte. very good. best rumor: put together huge deal for big bank. Gets flown up to big client with bank president. closes deal. celebrates. continues to celebrate. gets back on plane still celebrating. falls asleep. wakes up and celebrates all over himself and the guy next to him on the plane. bank president notices all the celebrating.
       
Rusty Meehan Could play the trumpet like ringing a bell! Rusty came to GDS in 11th grade, I don't think I saw him leave Dr. Gutsell's orange couch. Graduation Heard he is now a superstar chef in the G-Spot. Maybe graduated from UNCG though not sure.
Ryan Johnson Asked if guys could get a "period" in sex ed. Liked to spar. Got thrown in the bushes on a regular basis. 6th or 7th grade. Had a decent free throw.
Sarah Wallace Craven Sarah was a very southern belle, though she was a huge NY Yankees fan, go figure. She had a very unique flair that stood out from the crowd. She also owned a very traditional hoop skirt. 8th grade. I think Sarah Wallace went to page. I think deep down she may have been born in New Jersey.
Sedgewick Summers The Reidsville redneck. Well not really, Sed was a huge Ohio State fan, as well as Jimmy Jackson. Sed came to GDS in eighth grade to seek enlightenment and a date with J.T.'s sister. He joined his cousin Khali Wood with me in the back of Carl Finiski's physical science class while we shot staples at Joey. I last saw Sed while walking to class at NCSU. I have been keeping up with him through his web site and email. Last email asked was an inquiry if I knew a good lawyer. Sed is now married after serving in the navy, though not quite his choice. (judge's orders, you figure it out). He is now living in Richmond in what he calls a "whiteman's house". Sed is also the proud father a little boy that was born around December of 2002.
Smythe Cobia Took GDS by storm from Atlanta. Was planning on marrying high school sweat heart. Drove her white miata. Chuck's wedding Married to a great guy from New Zealand. Raises sheep. Enjoy's bathtubs.
Steve Thompson Always smiling about something. Graduation Apparently moved to Hawaii to practice holistic medicine.
Suzan Carrison Valedictorian of GDS, wow. It was a close one between her and Alan Swanson. One time in a bar after graduation Attended Swannee, moved to charlotte where she was robbed at gun point but would not give the robber her purse! ( i am sure she used her commanding voice to tell him to piss off) Then she had a girl get shot to death in her driveway later that year. Anyone wishing to move to Charlotte might be in luck, she has a spare room. Sounds like a great neighborhood to live in.
       
Teji Singh
Big move in high school was to cut his hair. He listened to a lot of MegaDeath and Slayer. These apparently influenced him in his decision to worship the devil. Port Authority Miami The last time I saw Teji was in the Port Authority parking deck in Miami Fla. It was 5:30 in the morning and Trey and I were trying to finish a 12 pack that we had bought half an hour before, when Teji walked by. We were all going on the same cruise to the Bahamas. I hope he made it okay.
Tim May Often would stand up on a chair and lead all the girls in a rousing chorus of "Annie's: its a hard knock life". Tim was actually a decent point guard, though other options were Jason File and Bebe Hunter. Adam Gottsegen's wedding Tim went to NCSU for awhile then moved to Charleston where he is currently living. Favorite line given to us by Chad Oakley, "Be cool dudes, and always wear a rubber."
Todd Miller Todd knew move about the internet, computers, and web sites before Bill Gates. I have known Todd since kindergarten. He was the nicest guy in the grade. My party when I lived with Joey and George Carr during summer school at UNC. Todd went to Va. Tech, where he got engaged, but has since kicked her to the curb. He is now living in Atlanta getting his Doctorate in something. He will soon be "Mr. Dr. Miller". He has started a new company called Zifty.com . It sounds like it is doing really well. Todd also has his pilots licence, making Jason File very jealous I am sure.
Tony Ngedge First saw this guy Monday, August 21st. Last seen, Tuesday, August 22nd. Was allegedly could play a mean flute.
Trey Anderson      
Wes Stanley Dunked his hotdog in Brett Kornfeld's drink, at Brett's own birthday party at the bowling alley. His dog "Bandit" rescued David Lebauer from certain death from "tent collapse" at his birthday party in 3rd grade. We watched 48 hours that night, my first "R" movie. Many a teacher was heard to groan "Oh, god no!" when they learned about Wes being assigned to their class. too recently. Wes went to App, then to NCSU. We went to mexico together and had more beer, and diarrhea together than I ever thought possible. Never trust a fart in Cuernovaca Mexico. I killed my first deer with Wes and I work on his skiing techniques. Deep down he realizes that Duke is a left wing Yankee bastion of nerds.
       
Zack Hall

Mr. Smiley. Best know for being Clara Love's cousin. Should have been voted Nicest Guy at GDS, right behind Trey and myself.

T.V. during every NCSU game from 94-99. Now he is a Dr. so if you need your fix, give him a call.
       
Bryan R. Jones Memorable Moment/Factoid: Drove around in the biggest tool-mobiles ever pooped out of Detroit's black forest. Most young men would have been satisfied with the run-down, wood-paneled mini-van. But no, Mr. Jones had to take it to the next level: The sea-foam green convertible Le Baron. That piece of s*** cost me two twelve packs of Budweiser that BJ and I were trying to get “high” with.
Last Seen/Heard: Selling real estate. Just moved to the bustling metropolis of Hickory (give him a break — he was in Boone for 5 years) where he seems fairly busy creating an army to do his evil bidding Rumor: Jones has worked tirelessly to become president and “chief executive trashpile” of PVA, or Projectile Vomit club of America. Bryan spent 5 years in Raleigh training for this position, taking advice from such legends as “wompus” fields and “fatback” van der linden. What’s next for ol’ trashpile? “I just keep on keepin’ on. Anyone who believes in the purity of projectile vomit is welcome at the Jones compound in Hickory.”
