Well HELLLLLLOOOOOOO!!!! I do, in fact, know Tamara Roberts... she resides within my skin! Hey Kat! I heard about this website from Heather via Betsy via I don't know who... you know how Operator works... but anyway. Here I am, and I am surprised to see some people I have often thought of. Kat, I can't believe how long it has been, I feel like I didn't really know you, but what I do remember was nice! Claire, Carolina, Sarah F, Jen F, Emma- I am probably forgetting a few names... I am glad to konw you are all alive and doing well I hope. I am doing really well, I live in San Diego, CA now, attending SDSU (I took lots of time off after going to U of Montana with Laurel and Melanie Kietz)-- I would love to catch up with some of you on a more personal note... please feel free to email me tamara_roberts2003@yahoo.com and just as an update on some people I do keep in touch with....
Shana Reitzenstein- well we turned out to be best friends believe it or not, she is still crazy Shana- but now in a healthy and fun way and I love her to death- we have a great relationship and she is now a nurse at UCLA medical center. We actually went to Israel together in January on a trip for Jewish college students, what an amazing experience -- I am not very religious but it was very spiritual.
Melanie Kietz (now Dewald)- she is great, married 3 or 4 years happily, living in Texas, I saw her last weekend while she was in So Cal helping her sister plan her wedding. Trying for a baby now...
Laurel Hahn-- we lost touch, I saw her last at her wedding several years ago... but I hear she is doing very well.
Heather Phelps- going to visit her in a week for her Wedding party!! We are still very tight.
Betsy-- we also keep in touch...I will see her at heather's party.
Liz McKenzie-- Betsy mentioned she passed away. She and I went to Midland school near Santa barbara after leaving MMS, and we just went very different directions. She got sucked back into drugs her senior year and after going through an intensive rehab program she overdosed (not intentionally I don't think) and passed away a few years ago. Going to her funeral was probably one of the most difficult things I have ever done, and it in some ways renewed my inspiration to LIVE... I hope you understand what I mean by that, not a morbid comment by any means.
Ironically- my mom just moved to Tucson and she and Deb have become best friends, traveling all over the WORLD together... they are neighbors now, and so my relationship with Mike and Deb has been rekindled in a very different way then it ever existed at MMS.
OK ENOUGH summary-- would love to talk more... see some pictures... all that jazz. I am still the same me, just 10 years older and at least a few years wiser =)

Hey Tamara,
Certainly have vague recollection of you, I left in August 1993, when did you arrive again?

Hey tamara, long time no hear! I can't write much because I have to go get my kiddo. SO nice to hear you're doing well.
My memory is fading, was liz mackenzie the sweet tall blond with sad puppy dog eyes, very quiet, big hands? That is so sad. If you would be willing to share, I would like to hear what happened to her, what drug was it? Again, that breaks my heart. I will write more later....gotta go.
love
claire

Kat-- I got there in May 1993-- I remember you though and I heard about you a few times through Jill Porter... since I think she was keeping tabs on us both for a while. I have a bunch of pictures of you too.. from some camping trips we went on that summer. Anywho.. yes it has been a while! Claire-- I sent you a long email just a few hours ago... it's great to hear from you! Liz was the really quiet girl, always slouched, always sagged her pants, blue eyes, from SF area, sandy brown hair. Really sweet. She got into heroine. Anyway-- really really nice to see some familiar faces! We should catch up!-Tam
