Yinan Shentu 2000-2001
I actually just graduated high school in Natick, MA, and I was a student for fifth grade with Kathy and Scott, who I are still here, I see to my delight. It's amazing seeing who is still on board that I remember.

Amalia Shifriss 1989-2000
Living out in Los Angeles for the past (almost) four years. All the while living with Megs Lawrence '99, still my best friend. Trying to live the dream that I've had since I was 5 of being an actor. It's a challenge at times, but one I love. Occasionally back to Btown (or Indy, where my boyfriend is from) to hang with my family. My sister Abby (former Harmanoid since birth) is going to be a junior at North. My brother Adam (also former Harmanoid) is a recent Grad of IU with a degree in Public Policy Analysis from SPEA. He has plans to move to DC soon. Mom and Dad Shifriss still rockin out in Btown as well. Hope everyone is well!

Hey Everyone,
I am living in Portland, Oregon with my husband and our 4 year old little girl Lucinda. I work for a company that publishes a catalog of educational toys. It's pretty awesome. I adore Portland, but am looking forward to moving back to Bloomington to go to grad school, and so Lucy can go to Harmony! Yeah!
xoxo

Prem Vasudevan 1991 - 1993
Wow. Looks like everyone has either stayed on or moved away from Indiana. Well, I'm in Perth, Australia at the moment. Been married for 3 years now to a lovely Aussie Indian.

We recently moved into our own shag pad and are currently busy sprucing the place up - if any of you from my years at Harmony decide to drop by for a visit, please do!

No kids as yet. Work consumes our life at the moment. I'm in advertising, working as a Copywriter. Been doing it for the past 7 years. My Mrs is a Lawyer with a national law firm.
Apart from that, life's pretty ska-waten-daten! :)

Would love to hear from my ex-classmates and middle school teachers. Email me at prem.vasu@gmail.com when you have the time.

Over and out.

Wade Abram 1986-88
Hi to everyone out there. I was just thinking about my days at Harmony and thought I would look on the good old World Wide Web. Well I am living in Brevard NC. I am a Domestic Violence/Sexual Assault Investigtor with the Transylvania County Sheriff's Office. I have been in Law Enforcement for 6 years now. I love it. I have been a K-9 officer, Patrol, and now a Detective. I also investigate all other types of crime not just D.V. I love my job and I cant imagine doing anything else. I am married. I have been for almost 7 years. I have three kids. 2 boys and a girl. If you would like to see them I have a page on facebook.com. Come and see it. So anyway I hope alot of people see this post. I really cherish my times at harmony. I think of all of you that I knew often and wonder what you all are doing.

Noah Lucas 1979-1990 (with the exception of 84-85)
Hey everyone! I've lived quite a few places over the years but most recently a good stretch in San Francisco, and the last 7 years in Prague, Czech Republic. I've got a lovely 3 year old daughter named Amelia and 2 very energetic shepherds who are urging me out of the city and onto a farm I bought some time back and have been working on making habitable in the permanent sense. The goal is fully self sustaining in the next 5 years but we'll see about that.

I own a bar called Blind Eye here in Prague and work sporadicly as a travel writer. Any and all who are coming to Prague should at least drop in for a beer (coffee? fruit juice? absinthe?) and say hi. My brother (Austin Lucas 84-97 or so) also lives here the majority of the year when he's not touring the U.S. or Europe playing music.

Tentatively planning my first trip back to the states since I jumped the pond this coming July. Maybe I'll see a few of you then. Or better yet, just plan the damn reunion around me!

Jolene Boyles 1987-1993
I am now in Marina Ca with my four children, Donovantrey 12, Trey 9, Joshua 6, Alycia 3. I moved here 18 months ago to be closer to my mother who is currently being treated for breast cancer. I have returned to school after nine years and am pursuing an accounting degree. I love to hear from my old friends from school and hear updates on how everyone is doing. I live near Marcie Lopes and see Cedar occasionally. This week Misty is coming to the local race track.

For those of you that know my brother, he is getting married in Feb.

Kristin Mackenzie-Blackburn 1990-1993
An alumni page, yeah! This is a great idea.

I've lived in the Nashville, TN area for almost ten years. I'm finishing another degree (a MLIS) and love my work as a Children's Librarian. I appreciate my time at Harmony and miss my girlie-girls!

Misty Brescia Dreifuss 1987-1992 (4th - 8th)
I live in Atlanta, GA now. I work for a sports car racing series (American Le Mans Series). I have been married for 8 years now and have 3 beautiful kids and two great Boxers! My oldest (Natalie Alexa) will be eight in October, my middle one (Kathryn Michelle) will be four in October and my young (William Allan) turned two on July 4th.

I try my hardest to keep in touch with my Harmony friends and am so glad that myspace and this little alumni page has come along. Hope everyone is well and I hope to make it back to Bloomington soon!

I currently live in Berkeley,Ca with my husband and my youngest kids.

Life is great and exciting.

I always think about my life during my harmony years, I carry them with me in everything I do.

I would love to hear from folks. My sister is moving back to B-town, so I will probably be out for a visit this coming year. When are we having another reunion?

I'm back in the states, and wandered across your site. Glad to see Harmony is still kicking! I would love some news from Monica Dubon, Karina, Rebecca Wilson or Estella Eaton. Also, anyone know what happened to Bill Mills?

Leah Beebe 1st grade through 12th, graduated in 2000
Well, I'm happier than I have ever been ( that I can recall) and I am currently just focusing on painting, baking, reading, gardening and being madly in love. I live here in town with my amazing fella, and I work on the Pediatrics unit of the Bloomington Hospital. I just returned from my first trip overseas, and now I've got the travel bug...bad. Me and my man have plans to travel the world, but currently we're just trying to re-do the basement of our house ( demolition is good fun indeed!). I am healthy and happy as a clam. :)

Hey! I miss my alma mater. I'm in Canada right now. I'm married to Karin Kvale (non harmonoid) and we're in a Beautiful place called Victoria, BC. I'm planning to ride my motorcycle down to SF on 101 soon, so maybe some other alums there could meet up? (812) 272-5788. I'm now an unemployed Mechanical Engineer. I've worked for Boeing's Phantom Works and Honda's Motorcycle division in Ohio. Right now I'm working on a simulator for pharmaceutical manufacturing. Tentatively we're planning on moving back to Bloomington in a few years to breed. Bye!

I've been living in San Francisco for the past 10 years. I work as a research manager for UCSF and I found this site because I'm looking for a high school for my son! You might think that San Francisco would have a lot of wonderful schools but I can't find one that I honestly believe would be better or even as good as Harmony.

I can hear Steve laughing at me as I type that but it's true.
