Well, I am married now to Mr. Trevor Dare -- and am loving it! We still live in the SFbay area -- where there is a good Purdue Alumni base. Not that I really get that involved. But at one time I worked with 2 alumnus, now just one. And at least every couple of weeks I see an alum sticker on a car passing by -- pretty cool! Currently, I am working at a company called Paperloop, Inc., where I manage the entire e-Marketplace portion of our website which includes marketing campaigns, site design, database management, and even get to do some business development. However, I am pursing 2 new businesses with hopes to leave Paperloop by the beginning of the year:
1) Creative Memories (teaching people how to safely preserve their memories -- such as the ones from Shoemaker! -- through photo safety and scrapbooking)
2) Weddings Everlasting -- I am starting my own wedding consulting business, using my wedding experience, my passion for events and my business knowledge. I am absolutely loving the entire process -- even though it is tiring and consuming!

Your Shoe sisters are doing a great job in Alumni relations. It had been years since I had received a newsletter, and now, for the past few years, I've been receiving updates like clockwork. The web page is the best yet. What a great tool, and you've done an excellent job of laying it out.
I'm in the midst of getting my MBA, and I'm still a "road warrior" (Western Region Sales) so, like everyone else, I'm crunched for time. However, I would love to hear from the shoes from my "era"; They are always in my heart.

Hi everyone!
I've been living in Indianapolis since I graduated Purdue in May '99. I work for Raymond James & Associates downtown. I ran the 2001 & 2002 Indianapolis Mini-Marathons, 2001 & 2002 Chicago Marathons and the 2002 Boston Marathon. I just recently qualified for the 2003 Boston Marathon in April, so I guess I'll have to run that, too!
Besides my running, I enjoy hanging out with my friends, serve on the Alumni Board, volunteered for the 2002 World Basketball Games, and am a faithful Purdue football season ticket holder....even though it's been a brutal year.
The website is great and it's wonderful to read all these updates!! Spread the word and let's see everyone get on this website and update!
Hope all is well,
Jessi

Rookie from the rockin' PC 1998( are you Jimmy Ray...or Ray Mystero?)! Since graduating in May '02 I have married Travis Kaehr (almost a high school hairpiece...) and we have moved down yander to Louisville, Kentucky. I am currently working at the Cherry House furniture gallery and trying to help desperate people organize and design (kinda) their space (not like Trading Spaces). BS in Retail Management and open to job opportunities and suggestions...(teehee). We are very happy here and just celebrated our 5 month anniversary. There aren't many Purdue Alums here, haven't met any yet, I guess some southerns don't get out much. Yeehaw!

After graduating in May '02 (major: Public Relations, minor: Sales & Marketing) I married Kevin Townsend (also a Purdue grad.) in June and we now live in La Porte, Indiana. I decided to stick with working in the Club industry. So, I am currently the Member Relations Director at the South Bend Country Club (basically a glorified office manager position, but fun)!
Funny SHOE story: This past September Kevin and I flew out to San Fransisco to participate in his best friend's wedding. Would you believe that Holly (McCormack) Dare was the wedding coordinator? Small SHOE world . . . . .

I am currently living in Valparaiso, Indiana. I am married to Adam, who is also a Purdue grad. Most of you never met him since we met after I lived in Shoemaker. I became a teacher and I taught for 5 years. However, now we have a baby boy named Alec. He is the light of our lives. Alec is 17 months. He is blond and blue eyed with lots of curls. I quit teaching and am staying home to raise my son. I love it! Adam is a project manager in his family's business, Bloomfield Mechanical. I still talk to lots of my old friends at Shoemaker. I am still sorry they tore down the old house. Currently, I am dabbling in the Shabby Chic decor. My whole house is done in shabby chic. I have a little business on the side in this. It's fun and it keeps me busy. If anyone want to email, my email is mbbloom@attbi.com. I would love to hear from Shoes I know.
