The RCHS Class of 2001| | July 2008 I graduated from Seattle Pacific University in 2005 with a BA in journalism/communications. Finished my first book on the History of Hunts Point before getting married to the love of my life on Oct. 21, 2006 at Rios Lovell Winery in Livermore. We moved into our first house Feb. 14th, a 1916 Craftsman in Seattle and are having a blast fixing it up. My husband, Kyle, is an electrical engineer and I'm a flooring project coordinator for a disaster restoration company. I also maintain my passion for writing working for the Northwest Christian Writer's Association managing and heading up the critique groups and writing for their news letters. On the side I maintain my business, Life In Writing, where people hire me to research and write their family histories and biographies or create portraits in the medium of their choice.
Life in Seattle is awesome and if anyone wants to enjoy a Northwestern retreat, let me know!
Thanks!

Hi All, This is my first time checking the alumni webpage and it was fun reading about what some of you have been up too. I recently saw some Redwood Alumni at Able's 80's party/condo warming bash! I heard I won best costume and am still waiting for the prize! (ABE) I'm married, got an adorable kid, and going to teach 2 periods of PE at Encinal High School and be the assistant coach for the Boys Varsity Basketball team. Should be quite interesting. I am thinking about planning our 5 year reunion since I haven't heard of anything in the works. My grams has a huge house in Pine Grove about 40 minutes from Kirkwood Ski resort. So maybe a weekend in like Oct. or something. I'll keep everyone posted… Take Care, Love Leah |  |  |  | | | | April 2007 RCS just received these pictures from the Davidson Family.

Kristi L Southwick |  |  | | | | September 2006 A note from Kristyn Braga: I graduated from Patten University in Oakland California in May 2005, with BA in Communications (Public Relations). While in College, I completed a successful/life changing internship at KTVU Channel 2 News, as a Newscast/Newsroom Intern. It was awesome to go out on stories with reporters and help produce the newscasts. I also coached high school varsity boys soccer at Patten Academy (K-12 school across the street from the college), as well as taught public speaking and journalism to high school kids.
After College, I "tested" a few jobs, before December 2005-Present, where I work for a construction company called "Swinerton Builders". I am an onsite manager/administrator. My latest project I am working on is Bloomingdale's in San Francisco! As well as Borders Books and H & M Store, which are apart of the Westfield Mall expansion. I am SOOO THRILLED ABOUT THE GRAND OPENING ON THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 28, 2006! I hope you all get a change to go see the new Westfield Mall and Bloomingdale's!!! IT LOOKS FANTASTIC!!!!
After all the final "closing" paperwork is completed in the next couple of weeks, I will be transferred to another jobsite, which is still TBA. You can check out the company I work for at www.swinerton.com.
Besides working, I am in my second season of Head Coaching Alameda Under 12 Girls Soccer!!!! My Team, the Cyclones, are a great group of energetic kids who are all very talented.
