Charles "Ish" Engle

After a whopping 4 days of summer vacation, I went to Woo Poo U. During my Plebe year I got into some trouble loosely involving my girlfriend (Jo Ann Currey, O'Neill '89) and I was suspended for one-year. I went through a bit of a depression then (how many of you thought I'd actually marry her?), and started going by a nickname that Ted Nolan and David Salerius gave me: Ish. I've been Ish ever since. When I left for my "year off", I joined my parents in Pittsburgh for the spring and then we moved to Melbourne, FL, in the summer. I got to take a great trip to Germany during that time.About a week after returning to West Point, Jo decided that she and I shouldn't continue, and after a long depression and 3 more years of USMA, I graduated and went to Ft. Sill, OK, as a Field Artillery officer. During my time in, I met a wonderful woman (Susan) and we got married.In September of '96, I realized that I liked being around the Army a whole lot better than being in it, so I put in my paperwork and got out. I went to work doing Combat Simulation at Ft. Sill. That was a great job, as I basically played video games to help train soldiers! During my early months at the Battle Lab, my daughter Ada Lysette (we call her Lysa) was born.In 2003, after becoming very active in my church, I accepted the call to move to Frederick, OK and become the pastor of First Christian Church. I've been here four years now, and love it. I'm very involved in the community working in the EOC, as a sideline statistician for the HS football team, and with the local food bank and Minsterial Alliance.I look forward to seeing you all again next summer.

Hello everyone! After graduation, I decided to give the college thing a try.....didn't work real well. So I decided to stay around town for a couple of years. In 1992, after realizing that things were never going to change, I decided to join the Army. I had visions of going to Germany and Europe and all those other places people never really get around to going to. Big mistake! I ended up spending my entire 5 year enlistment at Ft. Belvoir, Va....5 hours from home. I got married in 1992 and had a beautiful daughter in 1995. having been through Airborne and Air Assault school, I quickly got bored of directing traffic and saluting generals wives, so I opted to go to K-9 school. That was the best decision I ever made. Unfortunately, after 2 knee surgeries, I didn't want to do the Army thing anymore, and when my enlistment was up, the family and I moved to Birmingham, Alabama at the urging of some family friends. While in Alabama, I worked for 4 years as a paramedic supervisor. My wife decided that being married to a medic was worse than being married to a soldier, so we called it quits in 1999. I then moved back to Maryland and went back into law enforcment for the federal government. In 2004, I had the opportunity to go back to work for the Department of the Army as a civilian dog handler, and that brought me here to beautiful Ft. Hood, Texas. With luck, I will never have to scrape my windsheild again! I hope everyone is doing well, and I look foward to seeing all of you next summer. My sister still lives in town.

Jeff Greene...I am currently stationed at Ft. Sam Houston, TX (San Antonio), and have been here since 2002. The military has sent me to Hawaii, Korea, Oklahoma, Texas, Iraq, and now back in Texas, hopefully to stay. I am serving as a military pediatrician (Adoelscent Medicine). While in Hawaii, I got married to a pediatric nurse (Carmel), who is now a stay at home mom [4 daughters...Jordan (7), Ciara (7), Kiana (6), and Aspen (4 months)...they keep us busy]. The miltary has treated me well and will be promoting me next year to LTC, so something to look forward to in 2008, in addition to the 20 year reunion. I will put that on my calender and hopefully will be able to attend. My contact number, 210-481-9198, email jgreene6@satx.rr.com....see you soon!

After graduation I attend West Point Prep school for a year and then went on to Rochester Institute of Technology where I graduated in 1994 with a BS in Microelectronic Engineering. My 1st job was with Digital Semiconductor in Hudson Massachusetts. In 1995 the company was up for sale and I decide to try my luck elsewhere so I took a job with VLSI Technology in San Antonio TX as a microlithography engineer. ( I make integrated circuits) I was in San Antonio for 8 years, that is where I meet my partner Gilda. In 1999 that company became Philips Semiconductor and by 2002 they were looking to close the site. So I went job shopping again this time I landed in Minnesota. I work for Honeywell as the engineering manager of their small semiconductor fab in Minneapolis. We love Minneapolis it is a great city and not as cold as everyone may think. In 2006 Gilda and I adopted our daughter Nadia Napolitano from Guatemala. She is 17 months and we have had her with us for 10 months. My parents still live in HF so I go home at least once a year to visit.

I guess I will give a quick run down on my life. I hope everyone will share what they have been up to since we graduated in 1988.
In 1988, I ended up going to Tyler Jr. College for a whole 3 days. My parents informed me that my father was going to be stationed in Seoul, South Korea. I dropped out of school and went to Korea. I loved it there for a year, and it really prepared me to be on my own.
In 1989, I returned to Texas and attended Panola College in Carthage, TX. Loved it there. During this time I would marry my husband at the time Terry in 1990. I would find out I was pregnant during my second year at Panola in 1991. I would transfer colleges in the summer of 1991, and attend Stephen F. Austin State University for fall classes. I would go all the way up to my 8th month of pregnancy. I would have Stephanie Mahinalani January 1992. She is my pride and joy as we speak. I would be a stay at home for two years and return to SFA to 1994 and graduate with a degree in teaching the Spring of 1996.
Spring of 1996, I would divorce my husband Terry and move to Houston. Hoping for a job in teaching. I ended up working at a daycare facility from 1996 to 1998. I realized I was ready to move home(Hawaii) and just be around family. Stephanie and I would make the trek to Honolulu. Another one of my good decisions. I would get a teaching position in Special Education teaching 6th, 7th, and 8th grade. I would teach English, Math, Hawaiian Studies, American History. This teaching job would be and still is the best job I had. While in Hawaii, CyFair school district called me to see if I would be interested in interviewing for a position. I said yes, Stephanie and I would move back to Houston. I would get the job. Yeah!
Fall of 2000 I would start my teaching position at Arnold Middle School as a 6th grade reading teacher. I loved this job and still do. During this time, I coached volleyball and basketball. I was assistant cross country coach and track coach.
After 8 years as a single mom, I would marry for the second and last time Scott. We were married in 2004 in Tomball Texas. I actually had a wedding this time. In 2005 I would find out I am pregnant, but my daughter Stephanie did not adjust to it well, and decided she wanted to live with her dad. After many months of crying and lawyer fees we were able to get that settled.
June 15, 2006, I would have a bouncing baby boy. Donovan Kapukawai McGuire-Abel. He is a joy to my life. I adore him and my daughter Stephanie completely. He will be celebrating his 1st birthday in a few weeks.
I am still living in Cypress, which is right outside of Houston. I am hoping we have a reunion and get to see some of my friends that I have lost touch with. The only person I really talk to right now is Greta Rice (Smith) I hope she will post on here, but I wouldn't hold my breathe. I do email Pim Collier(Phillips).

Welcome to the Class of 1988

I hope we can find everyone from the class of 1988. Here is a place to update everyone on what you have been up to. I have copied this from the class of 1987, who in turn copied this from 1985. It seem to have worked for them, and thought we could get something started here.
