From Al:It was a pleasure to see everyone after 30 years. Since h.s. graduation, I attended Pan American University, majoring in political science/government... I lacked a few hours to graduate. Too much time on South Padre Island and the Mexican border towns of south Texas! I returned to Bryan in '85 to help Mom and Dad run the restaurant, Saenz Tamales. It was established in 1969, making it the oldest Hispanic-owned business in Bryan. In my opinion, we have the best tamales and chili in the state! In May 2007, I was elected to the Bryan City Council,District 1, the old Bryan town site.
Being on City Council has been a wonderful experience for me. I've had a chance to meet new people, make new friends, and to travel.
To bring things up to date, since our 30-year class reunion, I have had the great pleasure of getting reacquainted with Lucinda (Cindy) Johnson. I describe this as our "reunion romance". Developing a relationship with Cindy has really been a terrifically exciting and fulfilling, fun experience. After 30 years of playing the field, this has been wonderful. I'm looking forward to spending the next phase of my life with Cindy, so stay tuned for future details of a big event!

City:College Station State/Prov.:TX Occupation:Retired - Law Enforcement Marital Status:Married No. of Children:3 Spouse/Significant Other:Charles Last Edited:2018-05-31 03:14:26

From Valerie:Unbelievable that 40 years have passed since graduation. I married Guy Sandel while we were attending Texas A&M and we were married for 9 years. He passed away in 2006. I married Charles Martin and we will celebrate 26 years of marriage in October. We are living in College Station and are both die-hard Aggies with season tickets to football, basketball (men and women’s), and hopefully soon, baseball games. We raised three kids...Ryne (34) is a lawyer Dallas, Gary (32) is a chef in College Station, and Traci (29) is a teacher for Bryan ISD. We have been blessed with 5 beautiful grandbabies and enjoy every moment we get to spend with them! I retired from law enforcement in 2007 (due to medical reasons) and am counting the days until Charles retires in 2019. I hope everyone enjoys the reunion!

From Tom:

First, thanks to Olguita for reaching out to find me!

My wife Laurie, my daughter Jenny and I live in Scarsdale, New York. I attended A&M ('82) and Harvard Business School ('87), and then worked in the commercial real estate business for 25 years, retiring in 2006. Since 1994 we've been here in New York.

Laurie and I have been married 26 years, and Jenny starts college in the fall (!!). We split our time between NY and Jackson Hole, WY. Brazos Donaho and I are still best friends, and we go sailing every year for a week...this "Now" photo was taken in a little bar during our most recent trip to the Grenadines in March.

I am actually back in B/CS pretty often as I serve as a Trustee of the Texas A&M University Foundation. We are also pretty active in the United Way and The Nature Conservancy, with Laurie serving on the board of both organizations.

Thanks to the planning committe for working so hard to pull this reunion togther. I am not sure my schedule will allow me to attend, but if not I will certainly be there in spirit.

Best to All,

Tom
