Well I got married (to Wendy Rebidoux B.E.S. 94) in October of 94 ...... no kids yet. We bought a house in Scarborough on the Bluffs. Last summer I finally put my structures courses to use and built a deck (so far it is still standing). I managed to survive the nightmare of almalgamation and I am still working for the City of Toronto in the Traffic Signal Control Section. My job title is "Senior Traffic Engineer" although I am not sure why as there are no junior engineers in sight. My wo k is alot of fun and I am really enjoying it .... next time you get stopped at a red light in the City of Toronto you can blame me. Great to see this site and find out what everyone is up too.

Comments:
Yes the rumours are true - we got married in September 1997. We bought a house in Hespeler (Cambridge north of the 401) last year. David commutes still to the airport, although he actually works for UMA who have a contract to build stuff at the airport. Clare just started (Jan 2000) work on a part-time Master's in hydrogeology in the Earth Science department at UW, while continuing to work at Stantec Consulting. So far I'm really enjoying it, which is odd because I never remember liking school this much We can add a few updates. Mark Hales lives around the corner (and yes he has two sons and is still at CRA, as per the we think this is where he is on one of the other pages). Kevin and Trish English live near us too, but we think a move to London is imm nent since they both just left UMA and are now with MTO in London. John Kruis married Tracy in June 1996 and they have two sons - Jonathan Sept 1997 and Joshua Nov 1999. They live on a farm in St. George and John works at Lipton in Brampton.

Comments:
As an update to the entry submitted via Kath.... the house got built, but I don't live in it any more (the alcoholic lifestyle just didn't suit). So, I've become a city girl again... walk to work and live a couple of blocks from a restaurant, boutique a d deli riddled avenue (awesome bakeries and Bernard Callebaut Chocolate!!! mmmmmmm). After living in the apartment for 3 weeks you'd think I was able to unpack all the accumulated junk eh? We packrat engineers just have too much paper. I'm almost done though. Who said you needed to be able to move in your own apartment? Between the sports toys and the aforementioned paper, who cares? On off days or for this 'summer' those days considered to be that, you'll find me dreaming of things other than work (grumble, grumble). What a paradise the mountains are........ As for condo Kanchan..... I got myself one of those too!!! I'm off to spend a few days by Big Mountain and Kalispell on the weekend. Ahhhhhhh! the idea of actually having a few days off! What a concept. Along the lines of moving I got this mean looking little ZX2 from Slave Lake( just because I wanted a sunroof and they had to hunt the western world), had to pick it up myself! So the little rocket got indoctrinated on a northern Alberta tour de work!! So's the update. Have a good'un. :) N

I think this page is excellent. All the links work, and has some good graphics. I made my own site (the server is gone now so the html files are gone too ) so I know how difficult it is to make a quality site. I have been working in Indonesia for 10 months now. I was scheduled to go back to our Tokyo office in December98, but they asked me to stay another year. Indoensia's great for touring, but working and living, well that is another story. Take care! see another Kaoru entry further down..

Travels?: There is one good thing about Lou's (my husband of many years) job, that he travels to nice places. I go only to crummy ones. Briefly we have been to England, Austria, Hungary, Romania, Mexico, Netherlands, Germany, not in that order an we are going to Dusseldorf next month.

Comments:
This is a wonderful website, I am really impressed. As I can see you were not looking for me, We didn't know you were lost... sorry no hurt feelings, but I found you with the help of others. I will try to describe my adventures of the past four years, briefly. Right after graduation, I decided that I can get a job in Montreal, so I followed my husband and got a condo in Montreal. After six months of rest, I decided that I have to come back to Toronto, if I ever want to work as an engineer. I have been working with CRA in Mississauga since November 94 as an environmental/civil engineer. In 97 I got my P.Eng., although that did not help me much here. My work is good, I like construction management and even environmental, although I miss working in a larger office. We have about 10 people ere. My personal life is great, I am STILL married to that geek-eng guy, and we settled in Oakville, close to the Lakeshore. As I read you are all into getting cars, we decided to get a nice house, that we can fill up with kids some day. But for now th re is only the two of us, and I fill my time with gardening and shopping since my husband travels quite a lot.

Believe it or not, I am still a student. However, I plan to graduate in December of this year and possibly get a job (if I can find someone to hire me). I am currently in the process of looking for employment and I am enjoying receiving lots of rejectio letters. Kanchan, I think that you're going to lose the bet! Yeah, sure, and you failed all those exams in university too Atlanta is very hot and humid. I miss the summer temperatures in Ontario. Not the winter temperatures, just the summer temperatures. Well Kanchan, I hope this makes you happy. you have no idea I finally signed the guestbook, in spite of the comments that you made about me. I guess if I can't find a civ eng job in the next few months I should explo e other options. If you scan down a few entries...... Katherine will be a Civ Eng. Asst.

On the request of fellow classmates, I was asked to fill in this commentary. I in no way delegated the completion of this task to anyone else regardless of what you may otherwise think. Yes, I am still living at home with mom and pop. Supporting them is a chore, both mentally and financially. Luckily for me, friends drop in unexpectantly (Falchuk, Maharaj, Richardson, et al) and attempt to comfort me by telling me how good I have it. ight now, they are all sitting in the other room trying to figure out a way to get me to move out. and we're still working on it, but are running out of time, he's already started to set up quite the little bachelor basement and and keeps saying "why should I move out?" arrggh!

Well, I finally made it here... to this page... first time I have ever been to the Zucchini on-line. I like it, very comprehensive. I miss volleyball damnit. Work is a heater, sooo many deadlines yesterday. Can't we all just get along! A recent articl sited 'tree murderers' as a term for people working on the Bayview Glen Subdivision in Richmond Hill. Guess what project I'm on at work, Jen! Holy cow, there's a lizard on the monitor... no, really! I hope y'all are keeping your pets happy with frequ nt combings. I really like Sarah M's CD of Rarities and B sides... awesome... especially track 3. Murray has a shit load of CD rom games and no posters, what's up with that? Thinking about towing capacities of my next/current vehicle... hmmm, or shoul I go sporty, something with a smile gauge like Mark's VTEC bullet! Took a boarding lesson at Blackcomb, boarded the next day with Pam's gear and really liked it. Highly recommended. So I guess for (Dr.)Duane, it's now Ride-or-die! Recently pulled a g eat CLM (career limiting move) at work, by accidentally dropping my glass apple juice with the division manager right in front of me in line at lunch. Now I'm aiming for the department managers, senior project managers, project manager, senior project en ineers, and project engineers. Ca you tell my climb from designer to engineer is only just the beginning! Chris has let it be known that he is now a member of the Disgruntled Employee club... and rumour has it that he's seek ng greener($)pastures.. like everyone else.

Favorite Vegetable?: anything from OUR garden
Comments:
Oh the joys of home ownership. When we got back from Britain we found our radiators spewing water onto the basement floor. Now I'm spending my lunch hours getting quotes for new boilers!! But I wouldn't trade in our house for anything. It's worth ever penny of it. I think. Steve spent 4 months in Kuwait and there is a slight chance that he may have to back for several weeks. He doesn't have too many pics of Kuwait but we have lots from Britain. Re the Zuchinni: I'm so pleased that Kanchan finally took the plunge. She's been nagging me since the last newsletter with stuff like outlines and lists and partially done newsletters to get my butt in gear but alas.. procrastination won. Speaking of procrastination, I too would have my P.Eng if not for it. I just have to send in the paperwork. I've had the 2 years and exam since December!! What a loser! I think everyone is too obsessed with their cars. Jenn is driving a new, Subaru Impreza wagon, in a beautiful Jade colour. Jenn loves her car.
