Lori Williams here. I moved to Austin in 1995 after KU.

My first job here was as a political writer for the Governor's office. I was there until mid-96 when I moved into high tech and became a Web developer. After the cool little company I was working for was completely swallowed by IBM, I worked in a variety of small startups running Web marketing and user interface teams.

Last year, I quit my job at Advanced Micro Devices because I wanted to move into nonprofit work. Now I work at a nonprofit here in austin called The Texas Equal Access to Justice Foundation and have a little (very little) Web consulting business on the side.

Otherwise, I keep myself busy with politics, being an adult literacy tutor and just generally having fun with friends. I'm really excited about plans in the works to begin teaching a computer class at the local homeless shelter here. I'll be helping the people coming through the shelter write resumes, research job opportunities and learn computer skills.

Through the years, I've lost touch with pretty much everyone in Andover. I'd love to hear what's been going on!

I have a feeling there are only three of us here so far, but what the hell.

I moved to suburban Kansas City after K-State, with my wife (girlfriend at the time), Stacey. Still here. Just moved into a new house last December (we moved between Christmas and New Year's, which was undeniably stupid, but we got away with it). Two kids, Lexi and Tanner.

I spent several years as a mercenary-for-hire, traveling the Cambodian jungles in search of renegade CIA agents who'd gotten itchy and disappeared with government bought bricks of heroin originally intended to be sold to raise money for Nicauraguan Contras. Took a few bullets, killed a few rebels. Married a Korean girl names Soo Young under a waterfall in Nairobi, but she turned out to be an undercover agent for the British SAS, and was killed in a firefight at Heathrow Airport by guerillas dressed as nuns. The usual.

When that proved lacking in excitement, I decided to enter the high-paid, thrilling world of plastics sales, in Olathe, Kansas. From there I launched a glamorous career in food sales, with a pit-stop in printer repair sales.

In 2002 I published a three-part comic book series called HAWAIIAN DICK (www.hawaiiandick.com), which was pretty successful and was eventually optioned by New Line Cinema to make a movie from. At the moment they're looking at directors or something. The screenplay is done. Since then I've written a few more things, and have many more things on my plate.

In 2004, I went to work full-time for Image Comics as their PR & Marketing director, and in early 2005 I left that job to concentrate on writing full-time.

But every now and then, on quiet, moonlight nights, I can still hear the jungle calling me from so far away...

Hello--
Clay, in Secret Agent School, we were put on Super Double Secret Probation not to tell; apparently the Paid Mercenary Training Academy didn't have the same rules...
Well, after graduating from Butler (go grizzlies!) I got a job as Operations Manager for a large pork producer in SE Kansas. While in school, I worked for McBride Electric, Inc. in Wichita. I came back to Wichita in '95, worked several places, and landed at A Good Plumber, in Derby, where I became their Master Plumber. I left there last April, and started my own shop--Brian Mills Plumbing, Heating and Cooling, in Eureka, Ks. We have lived here for 4 yrs. My wife, Jan, and I will celebrate our 15th anniversary this next June. We have 4 daughters, ages 13, 9, 7 and 5. Our youngest started Kindergarten this year, so Mama is happy to have a little rest! With working 80 hrs+ to get my shop solid, I don't have too much of a social life and very rarely have any contact with anyone from Andover, so it is sure good to start hearing from old friends. Keep in touch--Brian
