 At events such as Graduation, the buzz of conversation always surrounds speculation on the future. Jordan and I are now going to give you a sneak preview of our 15th high school reunion. Mark, who is famous for his former crushing ski-doo accident, after 15 years, and several injuries, began designing and manufacturing his own ski-doo model. The ski-doo is equipped with air bags, gel-filled leg guards, an anti-roll cage, GPS, emergency radio, cell phone, parachute, etc. His ski-doo was a big seller, especially with the mothers of the world, who love the added safety features. So Mark is now livin' large, and is know as Mr. Safety worldwide. Vicky, who has always been famous for her bronzed skin, opened up a tanning salon in Worsley. Although business was fairly steady, she wanted to give those with pale skin the chance to be tanned all around the world. Vicky became the owner of the first portable tanning salon. She helped those in the Arctic, Siberia and Northern Europe achieve the sun kissed look that they would have never had without her, ... and nothing makes Vicky happier than a good tan. Stan experimented with a diverse line of careers, including bull-rider, welder, rock star, snow-boarder and skate-boarder. Stan also worked as a career consultant for indecisive youth struggling to find that perfect career. He's done it all, so career counselling appeared to the perfect fit. In 2019, Stan became more interested in a different 'fit', ... as in women's clothing. He changed careers yet again, to become a fashion designer, creating extravagant costumes for adolescent males who have trouble finding blouses to fit broad shoulders. Interest in this career began when Stan was in high school, when he flaunted his stuff every Hallowe'en in feminine outfits, ... including a very tasteful nun costume. Joann combined her baking skills with her commanding presence, to open up a cooking boot camp. If your child has a discipline problem and needs to learn to cook, send them to Joann. She'll whip your kids into shape, while they whip merangue into shape. By 2019, she had taught thousands of kids the divine secrets of the culinary arts, and those who disobeyed her authority felt the wrath of Joann, ... and if you know Jo, that's a mighty wrath. Eyvind, after 15 years of study, has managed to market his brain waves. Miniature diodes attached by Velcro to Eyvind's head absorb his staggering math capacity and can then be attached, with Velcro, to the heads of mere mortals, allowing them to comprehend advanced nuclear physics. His classmates have been his best custumers. JR spent the majority of high school carrying girls on his shoulders; this intense weight training prepared him for his current job as a bouncer at Beefy Bud's Biker Bar. JR is so big and tough that no one dares to mess with him and his bulging biceps ... no one but another Jensen, of course. JR even developed his own line of protein shakes for underweight bouncers striving to achieve the muscle mass of a Jensen. Which brings us to the other Jensen. Scott's career also focused on muscle and fitness, but in a different form. Scott tossed aside his basketball shoes and picked up 'Yoga for Dummies' and some spandex. Scott spent the next 15 years after high school teaching yoga and giving yoga seminars, limbering the unlimber in the Peace Region. Scott has become the Richard Simmons of Yoga. Isaac has become the fitness/recreational director for the Worsley Branch of the UFA. Activities include a noontime basketball league, evening musical performances featuring a gifted Worsley drummer, and weekend snowboard retreats. To prevent any injury to the participants, Isaac insists upon neck and ankle braces for everyone ... especially himself. David revolutionized the landscaping industry with his mechanical know-how. David developed the first nitrous-powered ride-a-mower, capable of trimming a football field in less than five minutes! David has created numerous mechanical devices, each one more powerful than the last, and for a good reason. You name it and David has doubled or tripled its horsepower ... and if it didn't have horsepower he gave it some. He even equipped weed-eaters with nitrous and steel cables capable of sawing down trees. So David's mechanical know-how and need for more power has given him fame and fortune, not to mention the reputation of being a man who can put a demolition company to shame with just his power tools. Jordan has perfected the on-line gaming site named CaptainOddball.com. While other students remembered Johnny Cash, Superman and a list of famous hockey players for Hero Day, Jordan created Captain Oddball as his hero. CaptainOddball.com features a flashy online tackle football game where contestants are detonated rather than given penalties. Scary stuff. Jess in the last 15 years has spent her time wisely. Jess founded and established the Rubber Ducky Society all by herself. This society has sent the stock market flying with their Ducky merchandise, so all who have a quack at her stocks have made it big. She also joined the prestigious foundation Ducks Unlimited. Her efforts alone have tripled the foundation's membership and saved the lives of thousand of her feathered friends. But it wasn't easy, for Mr. Willis and his group known as Limited Ducks have worked hard to put ducks on the endangered species list. But thanks to Jess their efforts have been in vain. |
