I have seen very little of Richland, Washington in the past years. Though I'm not much in contact with the old Hanford High crowd anymore, my hometown friends are still important to me. After all, four-plus years during the challenging, confusing, and exciting years of junior high and high school surely is not insignificant. Guys, I am truly thankful for the years we had! Whether I recognize it or not, I know that you guys are a part of me today....

PANGAEA! The ultimate rock-and-roll band that, to the chagrin of people worldwide, remained a figment of our imagination. But don't count us out! Our Greatest Hits album may debut at any time. Pictured from left to right: myself, Ashok, Sanjat (with the mop), Richie, and Chris (my fellow Caucasian!). Ashok's house is pictured in the frame to the right of Chris. Unfortunately, the helicopter pad is out of view.

TRIVIAL PURSUIT. A favorite past-time. One thing I cannot and will not ever get over is the brain-power that was in this group. I spent high school surrounded by really smart people. Sanjat, Dean, Rana, Downey, Bass, Hans, Megan, Wang..... the list continues. The intelligence of my friends often intimidated me. See those faces around the Trivial Pursuit board? If any of them ever challenges you to a match of wits, say no. You will lose. Trust me, I know.

Megan, myself, Sanjat

Megan is extremely dear to me. She completely redefined my view of friendship. She challenged my spiritual views and shared her faith in Jesus Christ with me. In every way, I am a different person (for the better) because of my friendship with her. Megan, I seriously pray for all the best of God's blessings for you!
