1991 Lane Alexander Danville, California lanealexander@yahoo.com Ryan McCleary and wife Tracy are keeping busy with two little ones and enjoying being back on campus. Christian (five) started Pre-K at Kinkaid this year and loves being in Blue Door. Erin (three) is busy keeping up with her big brother. Ryan is still in private wealth management at Atlantic Trust. Anthony Gonzalez is keeping our country and national interests safe. He recently “took orders to Manama, Bahrain where I am the U.S. Naval Central Command’s Anti-Terrorism / Force Protection Officer. It is one of the best jobs I have had the opportunity to do in my career. I am very proud of my team - they are professional and learn fast and that is what we need here. Since they are younger action officers, they get to do all the travelling to support ship visits throughout the region - I stay in Bahrain and track all their movements and actions and also keep pace with everything going on in Bahrain. There has been some unrest that started with the Arab Spring last year and still has people that are unhappy with the Government of Bahrain. Aside from 130 degrees in July, the area is great, the buildings are very modern, the malls are nice (I never get to see anything but my office and my flat, but I hear it is all great). I do miss being home and I look forward to returning to Virginia in June 2013.”

Todd’s (OUR!) ministry at Ascension Episcopal Church is going well, and they are having so much fun re-energizing the church. As part of Kimberly’s work supporting Todd’s ministry, she has started a Parents’ Night Out program at church that meets once a month during the school year. So, Houstonians, if you need a date night or four hours of peace, bring the Bryants your kiddos! There’s definitely never a dull moment around the Bryant house!

1994 Courtney Domercq Daily Houston, Texas cdomercq@hotmail.com 2012 – the year the so called 1% and 99% could not agree on who was in the 47%. The year Big Bird and an empty chair were major players in an election; and the year we learned that such a thing existed called Gangnam Style (though I’m still trying to figure out what it is). One thing I did discover, it is really difficult to come up with a variety of ways to say that a couple had a new baby. The Class of ’94 sure pops out a lot of them, so almost every update sounds the same. Congratulations to all and please excuse the repetition below. Mark Adam is now in his fourteenth
