Skyline High School Class of 1997!!!
Emily Burns (Black)
Comments
I graduated from Sweet Briar College (VA) with a double major in Biochemistry and Music. I went to culinary school, then worked on a Ph.D. in Neuroscience at The Rockefeller University in NYC until I realized I hated it. I now work in product marketing for a large software company. 5.5 years ago, I married my husband, Roy (from Louisiana). We've bounced around from Virginia to Boston, to NYC, to California. During all of this time we've tried to travel as much as possible. Highlights for us are probably meeting President Musharraf in Pakistan and surfing in San Sebastian, Spain (or eating foie gras at a pintxos bar, I have a hard time deciding which). The pictures are from climbing up a cliff off of Phra Nang beach in Thailand to reach a temporary beach and hanging out on a friend's boat off the coast of South Beach. For the time being we're back in Boston, and thoroughly enjoying ourselves despite the sharp contrast with the Bay Area.
We won't be making it out for reunion. Have fun! Seems our class has turned into a lot of interesting people (a ton of doctors?).
My most sincere condolences go to those whose spouses or other significantly important people have died. It seems like we are so young to have some suffer so much. I am sincerely impressed with the fortitude of those people.
