I only went to UCDS for kindergarten and 1st grade, but I still remember a lot of people! I had Melinda for kindergarten, then Sue for 1st in her 1st/2nd split. I remember we had parakeets in Sue's class, and that they escaped one day and flew around the building, terrorizing the kindergarteners. Heh.
Anyway, after UCDS I went to Seattle Country Day School, and now I'm at Lakeside. There are a bunch of UCDSers at Lakeside - Daniel Otero, Whitney Offenbecher, and Devin Beecher come to mind off the top of my head. Im also in touch with Nora Johnson, she's at SAAS now. And from the grade behind us: Miriam Hinman and Risa Fiorini.
I remember you, Katie - I think we were in Sue's class together. And of course I remember you, Daniel, seeing you everyday at Lakeside helps with that...
Hope everyone's doing well and not too stressed from the end of Junior year.

Wow... UCDS sure has gotten itself a face-lift since I was around. Man, lookin' back here I feel old. It's been a long time since I heard from you guys. How is everybody? Getting ready for college yet? Between trying to survive the academic riggors of high-school and trying to squeeeeeze in a bit of a life things have gotten tough :), at least for me. I picked up a bunch of different instruments over the past six years; I played piano for three (that got boring), just started guitar, and still playing cello. And Katie's right: that new building creeps me out!
Well, hope I get to see at least a few of you guys before shipping out in a year. Good luck to you all (have great summers for starters)!
