Name: Al Kamper
Spouse Name: Terri
City: Imperial
State: Mo
Children & ages: Joe 13, Jack 11, Peter 11
Occupation: High School Learning Consultant/Counselor
Hobbies/Interests: I am mainly interested in understanding the mysteries
of the universe. Like, why people spend a fortune of bottled water when they
can get it from a faucet for free. Why don't mimes talk. Why can some
animals talk in the movies, but not in real life. The whole tree falling in
forest but if no one is there to hear it scenerio. You can see the the
strain on my time. Why is it acceptable for women to wear men's clothes, but
wierd if a man wears womens clothes. Some many dilemas.
In addition I enjoy golf, travelling, kamping(it is my last name), and
coaching sports.
Favorite high school memories:
My favorite memories
mainly include all of the social activites. Huge gatherings where at least
half the school showed up. Laughing, joking, dancing, and just hanging out.
What have you been up to since high school?:
After high school I managed to attended every UM system school with the
exception of KC. I graduated from UMSL in 87 with a degree in Accounting and
Finance. Did the business thing for five years. Boring! So, I went back to
UMSL and received my M.Ed in special education. Got married and had three
kids in there somewhere. I have spent the last seven years as a Learning
Consultant at Saint Pius X High School in Festus Mo. (25 miles south of St.
Louis) I work with students who have Learning Disabilities and ADD, and do a
lot of counseling. I coach girl's JV soccer and also coach my twins select
soccer team. We are all very invovled with our parish and it's various
clubs.
Words of wisdom:
Live everyday as if you
are going to live forever.
As you get older, never trust a fart.

Name: Jim Kelsey
Spouse Name: Megan
City: State: Oakland, Ca
Children & ages:
Jonah Miles Kelsey, 9 months
Occupation:
Energy Engineer
Hobbies/Interests:
Since Jonah arrived I’m doing good just to keep up with
life! When I have a chance I still like to run, cycle, backpack and fly
fish. Since moving to California I’ve added sailing.
Favorite high school memories:
Rock-climbing with John R., Tim P., Jay S., Tim M., Mark W & Kevin B.
Hanging out at track and CC meets waiting for my events to come up.
What have you been up to since high school?:
After
graduating from college I went into the Peace Corp for a couple of years.
Got to see a new government come to power under a coup while I was there and
met some of the friendliest people on earth. Came back to the U.S. and
bummed around San Francisco for a while. Starting hanging out with my
wife-to-be Megan and decided to go to grad school. Went to University of
Wisconsin and got a degree in Mechanical Engineering studying energy-related
technologies. Megan and I got married while there but came back to the
California coast to do it (Kevin B and Nancy P were there). After grad
school, Megan and I moved back to California where I’ve been working in
energy efficiency ever since. In 1998 a friend and I started our own energy
efficiency consulting business, KW Engineering. I’ve been working my butt
off ever since. Megan decided to go to grad school to get her degree in
psychology. She’s now 4 years into a 6-year program. Last year we decided
to (finally) have a family. Jonah Miles (Jojo) was born last May. He’s now
the most important part of my life can’t believe now that we thought about
just never having kids. That’s it in a really tiny nutshell!
Words of wisdom:
You’re kidding, right? Oh, all right. Say “yes” to every invitation you get
and as many opportunities as you can. Assume the best about someone until
proven otherwise. Don’t give advice except when asked at least twice.
Anything else significant you would like to share: Weirdest
small-world thing of all time: My wife, Megan joined a mom’s group after
having Jonah. Guess who is in it? Laura (van Matre) Turnbull! Talk about
small world. Weirder yet her husband works in the same business I do and is
a big fly fisher too. We’ve had dinner with them and their son Jake several
times since then.

Name: Susan Malisch
Spouse Name: Tim
City: Chicago
State: Il
Children & ages: Alex-5, Blaise-2
Occupation: Director, IS&T at Novell
Hobbies/Interests: Nothing's really changed:
Basketball, running, cooking (i.e. good food), wine (well, that one's new),
our children (that's new too, I guess)
Favorite high school memories:
Let's see...
- of course, the killer girls basketball team and coach (John Edgar) that we
had during these years
- lots of frat parties with Jeni Sparlin and Deni Legrand
- the incredible stories we told our parents about where we were vs. where
we really were
- having a front-row seat to the escapades of Dawn Van Horn who remains a
terrific best friend
- the ability to have an innocent crush on so many guys who never knew I
existed or were just "good friends" (very well-kept secret)
- Summer softball at Ber Juan park and the silly games we played at the
Rolla pool
What have you been up to since high school?:
Attended Rockhurst College in Kansas City, MO; played basketball there and
graduated with a BSBA in Computer Information Systems. Moved to St. Louis
and spent time working at Southwestern Bell, serving as head women's
basketball coach at Fontbonne College, making great professional and social
friends and killing tons of time/having fun doing it. Now's when it gets
more interesting... Attended our 10 year high school reunion and spent a
really fun weekend with many of you. I met a high school classmate that I
didn't know, Tim Malisch, at the reunion. We began dating (long-distance
between Nashville and St. Louis) and finally married in June 1994 - what a
surprise! We spent our first 3 years together in Los Angeles where I tried
Division I coaching as an assistant at Cal-State Northridge but for a
variety of reasons I left and took a
more "normal and boring" position in the IS department at UCLA. I'm
shooting for a coaching or officiating position as my retirement job some
day for fun. We moved to Chicago in 1997 where we currently reside and have
two really cool, fun boys, Alex and Blaise, who require most of our
attention outside of our careers at the moment. We've discovered that
winters in Chicago are very lonely - no one wants to visit us in the dead of
winter here - and summers get quite busy! (We had the opposite experience
in LA and I'd love to get back to the warmer weather some day.)
So, I'm really looking forward to hearing some good "Tim Malisch" stories at
the reunion since we didn't really know each other in high school. Please
share!
