Please send in your bios, whether you're attending the reunion or not! Here are some updates from RHS '92 alums:

Karly Martin
Hello fellow classmates from '92. It's Karly Martin and I cant wait to see all of you in a couple weeks. This is what I have been up to since we walked the halls of RHS..After graduating from RHS, I attended SIU - Carbondale and had some of the greatest times of my life. I graduated in '96 with a Bachelor's Degree in Psychology. I did the "day job" thing for many years and bartended on the side for extra $. Being the night owl, I settled on bartending full time, which I love. I currently bartend at the Curve Inn in Spfld. I am living in Rochester with my 13 year old daughter, Cicely- just us girls. She has attended Rochester since kindergarten and I wouldnt have it any other way. I have never been married; I have being with the same wonderful guy, Denny, for the past 5 years. Maybe someday I will take that walk down the aisle... Can't wait to see you all soon ---Karly


Gretchen Brogdon O'Byrne
Moved out of the big city to a beautiful small mountain town in Colorado. My oldest daughter is 6 and my youngest is 3. I'm loving my job as a program manager for a federal youth sexual health education grant. Learning to tolerate all the sunshine here and will probably have to learn to ski.


Michelle (Kunkle) Ashby
We moved to Franklin TN 4 years ago and love it! Married to Chad and have 2 girls, Ellie (8) and Grace (4). Say hi to everyone!
