As you can see from the pics that Lisa posted for us, Ricky and I got married!! We decided against the big hall wedding (I was a little burnt out from planning the reunion!) and we packed up our sleds and drove to Vermont to this beautiful victorian bed & breakfast call The Governor's House. It was intimate, romantic and tons of fun! It was perfect! The state of Vermont is gorgeous and we had some amazing snowmobile rides up into the mountains. Ricky and I had the most amazing time and I cried when we had to come home! We have some more great news too...We are blessed to be having a honeymoon baby! We are due November 11 (Danette's birthday!) Hope everyone is doing great. Have a great summer! God bless, Missy Baker Hey Everyone!

Carolina the weekend of the reunion which is why they were unable to attend. The following is a letter I received from her when I went to close out the PO Box: Hello Missy! Wow, 20 years! Can't believe it! I still see 80's hair styles all over the place (scary, it's so in for the teenagers). Well, I'm sorry to say I won't be coming to the reunion. I will be moving to North Carolina that weekend. I really enjoyed the last reunion at Zuccaro's (even though my closest friends didn't show, I still had fun). I know it was unbelievable that one minute the big white hall was there and gone the next! Zuccaro's did a great job, and they will again for you. Since I can't make it I'll share a bit of my life for you to share with anyone curious. I have four girls, ages 18 (yes 18!), 14, 11 and 5. My oldest was Bay Rama Princess 2006 her junior year at Anchor Bay High (20 years after me, I was on it in 1986), so she got to do all the parades for a year (Tracy Swanger-Vandermeer is head of the Bay Rama Committee). She's the spitting image of me, everyone thinks I'm her sister (can you believe I got carded last week to buy liquor?). I guess I still look young! My 14 year old and 11 year old go to our old junior high (Middle School North) and my youngest is in kindegarten at MacDonald Elementary. I am still happily married to Tom Geck (it's 15 years now!). He is still doing great with his masonry business (which is why we are moving south, more work to keep the business going), and he is a motorcycle police officer (so he gets to escort plenty of famous folks like the President, and do parades and motorcycle charity runs as well). Our life is crazy busy, but at least we still feel young and enjoy friends & family as much as we can. Life has had it's ups & downs, a couple of years of too much grief & sorrow with the passing of too many relatives. And then we've enjoyed just the simple life of country living, riding atv's with our girls, playing softball & staying active, playing poker, camping, hanging at the beach, just being a family. Life has thrown a lot of curves at us, and we are in transition right now with our big move to North Carolina and a fresh start, a new chapter. .... We had the most exciting and inspiring summer last year when we got to be a big part of the Extreme Home Makeover in Armada! My husband and his brother, Kurt, were the masons (Geck Masonry) who did the stone on the house (they even had Jeff, Todd & Mark Wargo on their crew), and Tom's brothers, Jeff and Bob, were the rough carpenters (JAG Construction) to build the whole house. I made the cakes for the VIP party the day of the build (over 700 guests), got Eduardo Xol and Tanya McQueen from the show to try my cake, I made an exact replica of the house in cake for the Gilliam family to enjoy after the reveal, met all the designers & producers from ABC, and I even got a hug from Ty Pennington at the After-Wrap Party at Zuccaro's! It was a crazy, sleepless week but worth all the insanity!!! I have my house ( I designed it) up for sale, and it will be on the market all winter while I am down south. It's a fabulous house with so many custom details, great for entertaining & raising a family (we designed it as our dream house with the thought we wouldn't be moving again). We have 5 acres, with the best neighbors (Bonnie Holt and all the Gunsts), we back up to ABHS so we have all the baseball diamonds, soccer fields, tennis courts, track and everything right there to use. My house is listed on www.century21.com, under Marnie Ickes listings if you know anyone interested in a huge house (with separate in-law quarters...which could always be moved). Well, my crazy life is calling. I hope you get enough people to have the reunion, I'm sorry to miss it! Thanks for all your hard work (and the others, too) for putting it on (and the last one!) Enjoy all the fun! Maybe next one I could make a fabulous cake for the reunion (I've been doing events for 10 years now...I can compete with the Ace of Cakes on the Food Network). Take care Missy, I wish you great health & happiness! Theresa Geck Hey Everyone,

As most of you know Theresa Geck (Suprenant) and her husband Tom moved to N. Carolina the weekend of the reunion which is why they were unable to attend. The following is a letter I received from her when I went to close out the PO Box:

Hello Missy!
Wow, 20 years! Can’t believe it! I still see 80’s hair styles all over the place (scary, it’s so in for the teenagers). Well, I’m sorry to say I won’t be coming to the reunion. I will be moving to North Carolina that weekend. I really enjoyed the last reunion at Zuccaro’s (even though my closest friends didn’t show, I still had fun). I know it was unbelievable that one minute the big white hall was there and gone the next! Zuccaro’s did a great job, and they will again for you.

I hope that everyone had a great time! It sure looked like everyone did; and that's what it's all about!! I received a letter from Theresa Suprenant in the PO Box today when I went to close it out. Her, Tom and the kids were moving to N. Carolina the weekend of the reunion which is why they were not able to make it. Due to the economy and the business the Geck's are in they felt it more profitable to move out of state. They all seem to be doing really well and she really had alot to say...maybe I'll post it separately when I get back from up north. Ricky and I are getting away up north to our cabin for the weekend. I'm going to take some time and relax away from phones, computers, mailings and errands! Nothing but a hot oil treatment, crocheting, reading, movies and getting my Christmas cards done! Once we get back I hope to be re-energized and ready to focus on wedding plans!! It was great to see everyone. It all went by so fast and it's sad that it's over :( For anyone who didn't get a chance to make it to the reunion, we are selling the reunion books for $8.00 a piece. If you're interested in one email me at abclassof1987@sbcglobal.net and let me know. I can ship one out to you. Obviously, all the monies collected will go back into the class fund. We didn't do to bad, we still have plenty in the class fund to start planning the 25th when it's time. FYI...Do not mail anything to the PO Box...I closed it out. Monies for any books sold will be sent directly to my house so just let me know by email if you're wanting one. Pass the word about the books...the more we sell the more money in our class fund. Everyone take care and I hope you all have a safe and happy holiday season and New Year! -Missy (Baker!) I am happy that everything went so smoothly with the reunion. I hope that everyone had a great time! It sure looked like everyone did; and that’s what it’s all about!!

Please send me the pics so I can put them on the website. I think the best way to send them would be to zip and email. If you have a program that will let you decrease the file sizes of the pictures that would be great also. I also use an online photo sharing program called snapfish.com or shutterfly.com they are great for uploading pics and sharing with friends and family. Yes, Sheryl!
