Hey, my name is David Robinson, esphysics@yahoo.com. A while ago my brother Shawn
posted a message about running into John Petty John in Iraq and that the last time he had
seen him was at Jeff Halliday's grad party. Shawn couldn't believe the responses that his
posting got and he shared them with me; it was fun to remember the good ol days. Anyway I
thought I might have some news to contribute. I was just in Moon, June 6 (2004), for Jeff
Halliday's wedding; he met a really nice girl named Susan and she's as quick witted and
charming as Jeff (who by the way is now anchoring sports on TV for CBS in West VA very
cool). His wedding reception was a really good time and the guest list included many of Moon
High's own including my good friends Alex Panis, and Bill Brenhisen (spelling) who were
groomsmen along with me and two of Jeff's friends from college.
Class of 96 Rocks!! Go CC!!!
- David Robinson Tiger Pride!
Hi, I thought you would find this story interesting, My name is Shawn Robinson, my twin
brother Dave and I graduated from Moon High School in 1996! I am now a Marine Corps
Helicopter Pilot. I am currently stationed in Iraq with HMH-466 WolfPack. When we first got
here we were relieving some Army units so they could go home. Anyway I was waiting in Line
to get "Chow" (which by the way chow here makes Moon High School's cafeteria look like a
five star restaurant) so I'm in line to get chow and I feel this hand on my shoulder and guess
who it is! John PettyJohn! He is in the Army now! Any way I recognized him instantly and he
obviously recognized me. We graduated Moon High School together and I haven't seen him
since Jeff Halliday's Grad party! Who knew the next time I would see him would be in IRAQ!
Any way we talked for a while and reflected on some of the old High School times. It was a
great Morale Booster to see someone from home! Well I hope you enjoyed this little story, tell
every one I said Hi!
- Semper Fi, Shawn
p.s. Moon Track and Cross Country ROCK! Go Tigers!

wanted to move to a city that was more diverse (in every way). Just a word for all of you still
in High School, don't worry, it will be over soon. When it is over, you can start living life...for
real.

buddies would be fun.

architecture and landscape architecture firm in Knoxville since graduation. She accessed the
web page because she is interested in finding out if her class will be having a 10 year reunion
in 2000. "I have completely lost contact with all the folks I graduated with, and I figured no
one would know where I was to contact me with any reunion info. Plus, she has recently
undergone a name change! She was married on June 12, 1999, to Mike Riordan, a financial
advisor with American Express, "and a pretty nice fella if I do say so myself." "I would love to
hear from any of my old cronies who graduated with me in 1990."

Dawn Macasek Shields: burgh.girl@gmail.com. Hi! I graduated with the Class of '88 and am
hoping that we are still having reunions occasionally. It would be so fun to see everyone and
reconnect with friends. I'm currently living in Connecticut with my husband, Dan. We just got
married this year at the beach and then had a big casual reception in Pittsburgh. I don't have
any kids yet since I waited so flippin' long to get married! :) Dan and I have been in CT for
about 2-1/2 years now. Before that I was still living in the 'Burgh working for an organization
called YouthWorks. I have a Master's in Child Development from Pitt, but in 2001 I decided I
wanted to do computer graphics instead, so I returned to school and acquired a Digital Design
diploma from the Art Institute of Pittsburgh. I was working in NY in the Marketing Dept. at
Kraft Foods Federal Credit Union (now Quorum) for a while when we first moved to CT, but
after we bought a house, the commute became unbearable. So recently I've been doing temp
work while I look for another design job. I figure we'll start trying to have a baby soon, so I
haven't been very career-driven these days. :) I don't know how many people visit this
website, but I would love to hear from anyone who's interested in catching up. And please let
me know if/when a reunion is being planned. Go Steelers!

Home (252)937-7060
July 21, 2006. My name is Amy (Amidon) Guthrie and I graduated in 1987. After that I
studied architecture and planning at the University of Colorado, and abroad in Copenhagen. I
went to graduate school at Boston University and got a Master's Degree in historic
preservation, then a job as the historic preservation planner for the City of Aspen, Colorado,
which I have done for over 13 years now. I have been married for 9 years and have two
daughters, Zoe, who is almost 6, and Tessa, who is 3 1/2. My husband David is a contractor.
We live in a beautiful place and have a five minute trip from our house to the base of three ski
mountains (Aspen Mountain, Aspen Highlands, and Buttermilk), and 15 minutes to Snowmass
ski area. Having kids (plus working pretty hard) has limited the skiing a bit, but we usually
get out for a few hours every winter weekend, and Zoe and Tessa are both learning, sure to
be faster than us in no time. It's very expensive to live in Aspen and the lifestyle is a bit
surreal sometimes. I just came home from an evening walk with my daughter and we had to
hang out for a couple minutes until a bear that was standing in the alley behind our house ran
away. Sometimes we get the same scary feeling when we see the ultra rich people who are
here. (Ha, ha.) But there is a great community in Aspen and we feel very lucky and don't
expect to leave for anywhere else. I stay in touch with Missy Stone (going to visit her and her
newborn baby in 3 weeks) and Eileen McGuire. My email is amyg@ci.aspen.co.us.
Greetings all. Melissa (Missy) Stone here. Hmmm, 19 years in 5 lines? Here goes.
After graduating in 1987 I went to Penn State for my Film Degree. Moved back to Pittsburgh
and worked at Fox 53 and WB 22 for about 8 years. Then moved to New York for a year at
ABC followed by 4 years at Oxygen. I've also done some Entertainment Reporting and
Commercial work. Don't be afraid if you're in Wal Mart and see me talking to you on one of the
in-store monitors. I now live in Beverly Hills; happily married to a nice boy named Colin; work
as Vice President Marketing and Advertising at The Style Network; have a beautiful baby girl
named Phoebe and a furry daughter named Tosca. Life is good. I've dined with Miss Debby
Kennedy here in L.A. twice now. We opted for Nicoise Salad instead of Yellow Marshmallow
Peeps…but we did sing the Economics Song. Good times.
You can find me at mstone@eentertainment.com.
Hi, everyone! My name is Eileen McGuire Chaput echaput@geerwade.com, and I graduated
from Moon High in 1987. Anyway, just wanted to send a quick update, since no one else from
our class has any "News" posted. I'm married now and have a wonderful, two year old son,
Ryan Christopher, and I'm expecting another boy in August. (Good thing I was a tomboy,
huh?!) My husband and I live in Canton, Massachusetts, which is a suburb of Boston. We really
like it up here, but I do sometimes miss Pittsburgh. (It's particularly hard during football
season, when I have to choose between the Steelers and the Patriots!) Anyway, after Moon, I
went on to Penn State for my bachelor's degree and then a few years later got my MBA from
Babson College up here in Massachusetts. I'm now the Director of Marketing for Geerlings &
Wade. We sell wine and wine accessories through the mail and on the web. It's definitely an
interesting business! I still try to keep in touch with a few people from Moon, but have lost
touch with many! If anyone is in the area, please feel free to look me up! Oh, my brother,
Matt McGuire - class of '86, is married with one son and another on the way, too. He lives out
in the San Francisco area.

Hi, I'm Vida... there was only one Vida in all of Moon, so if you knew a Vida, you knew me!
Vida Burnelis avav9902@yahoo.com. Married Alan back in 5/91, we have two beautiful
children, a son Andrius, age 7, and a daughter Vilija, almost 4. My son Andrius is on the
Pittsburgh Aviators Mites B hockey team!! LET'S GO ANDRIUS, #34! :) Vilija was born with a
cleft lip and palate, so it's been quite a challenge, she's had 6 surgeries so far, isn't even 4
yet, and many more to go. She's the most beautiful little princess! After working for quite a
few years as an optometric assistant, I became a full time SAHM a few months after Andrius
was born. I've always wondered where my Moon buddies went... so many I'd love to see

my way into the entertainment and sports business...After college, I worked for Showtime
Networks and MTV in NYC for five years before meeting my hubby, NHL veteran- Alain
Lemieux (you may know his brother's name). I now am Vice President of his company, and
also work actively as a mom to two great kids....Cullen- 7 and Kayli- 5. I experienced a lot
since high school - toured with U2 (as a guest of the band) throughout Europe in 92; planned
some huge parties for Showtime and MTV with comedians and musicians; played a small roll
in a Hollywood movie, and am now working on a project (novel / screenplay) that's testing my
limits (and patience!). We'll see what happens! I'd love to hear from all of you (if you
remember me?!) and see what you've been up to. Seems my invitations to the reunions have
gotten "lost in the mail"!! LOL.
Elizabeth McGuire elizabeth.mcguire@fedex.com. I graduated from Kent State University with
a degree in Photojournalism. I now work in the Internal Audit department of FedEx (long and
boring story of how I went from photographs to audits!). I live in Oakdale, PA - all of 4 miles
from the house I grew up in.
Hello! Life has dealt me a pretty fair hand since 1986. I attended Penn State and received a
BS in Mineral Economics with a Minor in Logistics. I have been in the distribution and traffic
field for my entire career and now work as the director of distribution for a Pittsburgh retailer.
I am married with two wonderful boys, Grant 4 and Sam 2. I enjoyed following the football
team these past few years and I would love to hear from anyone in the 1986 class and catch
up.
Dennis Foley dennisf@zoominternet.net.
My name is Kimberly Walsh, nnutz30@comcast.net, and I graduated from Moon in 1986. After
graduation I worked in a balloon shop for a while and then attended Nursing School. I am a
Registered nurse with 13 years Intensive Care experience. I still live in Moon at the same
address with my three children Rebekah 13, Nikole 12 and my son Magnus 5. In March 2003 I
met a wonderful Brit in Cancun. We both were attending the same wedding. When I returned,
I left my job, went to visit him for one month in London, England and we will be married in
October this year. He designs jewelry and will be setting up his own business here in the USA.
Kimberly Y. Donovan, kimberlox@hotmail.com, I graduated in the class of 1986. My further
education includes a BS in Accounting from Penn State University and a MS in Sustainable
Systems (with emphasis in sustainable building design and permaculture) from Slippery Rock
University. I live near McConnells Mill Park in Western Pennsylvania, and I work with an
accounting firm in Butler. My partner Bruce and myself are building a strawbale house on our
property. We have a four year old son.
Christopher E. Cross (CCROSS68@aol.com[mailto:(CCROSS68@aol.com]) After High School, I
chose to join the Air Force instead of college, but that is OK. I started out in Target
Intelligence at Strategic Air Command and can you believe they give 18 yr. olds Top Secret
Clearances (Crazy Concept). In 1990, I became an Air Traffic Controller in NC and
academically I started my post high school formal education. I graduated with a Business
Degree from Campbell University (Summa Cum Laude) in North Carolina in 1994. After my
bachelors, I continued on to get my Masters in Administration (concentration in Health
Services). I also went on to get a couple of Associates in Computers just to stay ahead of the
game. I have been married and had a beautiful daughter (Allison Hunter) 1995. After Air
Traffic Control, I really wanted to understand finance and the market, so I became a Financial
Consultant (Stock Broker). What a great and interesting career field. In 1998 I moved to
Omaha, Nebraska, where I am a regional director for the largest railroad in the world. I did
that to be closer to my daughter who now lives in SD.

(krance@atlanticluggage.com[mailto:(krance@atlanticluggage.com]) ... It was
interesting reviewing this website to see what people have been up to. I remembered all
of them, I wonder if they remember me. I graduated in 1986 from Moon and took some
years off to explore and have fun before attending Robert Morris College . I currently
work for Atlantic Luggage as the Senior Forecasting Analyst. I am married to a great
guy and have four kids - Kady, 13 - Destiny, 12 - Ray Jr, 11 and Kassidy 5. We still live
in Moon and now my kids have some of the teachers I once had. Life is pretty good these
days.

Hi, this is Tom Teleha (tteleha@msn.com[mailto:tteleha@msn.com]
ortteleha67@yahoo.com[mailto:tteleha67@yahoo.com] ). I would have graduated from
Moon in 1985, but we moved my senior year. I have tried to keep in touch over the years
with a few people who keep me informed of what's going on. I am currently in the US
Navy, having enlisted in 1987 after a failed attempt at college. Spent two years on
submarines before finding a real job in the Navy (serving chow, doing dishes and
chipping paint wasn't my idea of continued fun). Trained as a Hospital Corpsmen and
went on to advanced training in the field of Cardiovascular Medicine. I worked in and
managed the Cardiac Catheterization Laboratory at the National Naval Medical Center in
Bethesda, Maryland for 12 years (and yes, believe it or not I did meet the President, as
well as a lot of other big wigs). I served during Desert Shield/Storm with 3d Battalion 7th
Marines in Iraq and am currently scheduled to deploy to Iraq sometime in September
2006 with 3d Battalion 4th Marines. I am married to Wendy Sullivan from Ebensburg,
PA (we met in the Navy) and we have 5 children. Two from her previous marriage, one
from my previous and two together. I am currently stationed at Twentynine Palms Marine
Corps Base in Twentynine Palms, CA (about 40 miles from Palm Springs in the Mojave
Desert). To all those currently serving in our Armed Forces, may you stay safe in
whatever you are doing and return home to your families and loved ones and Thank you
for serving as well!
Go NAVY, Beat ARMY!
Semper Fi! OOHRAH!

Leslie (Cross) Newsom (lpn4867@charter.net[mailto:lpn4867@charter.net]) Well, I
joined the USAF after graduating in 1985 but I didn't stay too long. I did my four years
and then I got out of active duty. After getting out of the USAF I married my husband,
who was and still is in the USAF. So it wasn't long before we headed to Japan, and then
onto Hawaii, then AZ, and now we are stationed in IL. We have 3 girls...an 18yo (my
step-daughter,) a 14yo, and a 12yo. I received my Bachelor's Degree while in Hawaii
and have worked for the Civil Service system for most of my years after getting out of
the USAF. I am currently working for the DoD, Defense Security Service, on the
Industrial Security side of the house. I've only been back to Moon maybe 3-4 times since
I left (when I was 18) for the military, but I'm looking forward to the 20 year reunion.
I've wasn't able to make it back to any of the other reunions so I'm really hoping this one
will work out. (I have a work-related class I have to attend from 18 Aug - 18 Sep 05...so
whoever is planning this one don't plan it during this timeframe!!!) ; )

Patty Timney pattytimney@hotmail.com[mailto:pattytimney@hotmail.com] I wanted to
let everyone know about my breast cancer diagnosis last October and how I underwent a
complete double mastectomy and now I'm not doing very well. The original physician
messed things up pretty bad and I have to have more surgery this December. I don't care
who has my address or phone number so here it is.

(actually, the 6 months that I was in the hospital before, the cards and notes were what
kept me sane!} I was in 4 different hospitals and ended up at Vanderbilt University
Hospital and I have the head of Oncologh and the head of Plastics too. I love my doctors.
Just say a prayer for me, ok?
Thanks Deb,

Class of 1977
Bob Patterson here! ComputerBob [computerbob@getmeupandrunning.com][
mailto:[computerbob@getmeupandrunning.com] ( known as Pitter in school ) I am a
member of the Moon Class of ’77. It is amazing to say that we are planning our 30 year
reunion for this November 24th. I have done many things since graduation but have
never attended college. I have done fairly well for myself despite no additional formal
education. I own and operate Up & Running Computer Services, Inc – and have done so
for the past 17 years, have been active with the Airport Area Chamber of Commerce for
the past 14 years ( everybody knows me as ComputerBob ), have two step daughters and
am quite happy with wife number two ( 10 years now with Kathy ). I enjoy scuba diving
and flying power and stunt kites any time I can get a little time to myself. We have 5
dogs and a cat, live in downtown Beaver, PA and we feel truly emancipated since our 18
year old was moved out in early July. Best of luck to all of the graduates from Moon –
We hope to see as many of the Class of ’77 at the reunion as possible.
Greetings to the class of 1977 from Yvonne Turner, now Yvonne Turner Johnson
