In Alphabetical Order
Craig Burkin, aka Craiguyver. You may remember him from the late night Bowflex Infomercials that plague the Sci-Fi network, but only if Ol' Craig prescibed you one too many drugs. He's finishing up his last few years of Pharmacy so soon we will all have to call him Dr. Burkin. Early in his OSU career, Craig earned the nickname "Craiguyver" because it is widely believed that given a paper clip, a book of matches, two springs, a bit of cloth, and a little help from the moon's gravitational pull, he could make any medicine known to man. This theory has yet to be tested and will remain so until we can find enough springs. The link will lead you to his cool and useful website.
Chandra, my sister went to Ohio University majoring in English.
She's been all over the country hiking and camping. She's even hiked the entire Appalachian trail all the way from Georgia to Maine, for those of us that failed Geography that's about 2400 miles. Chan's a big movie buff like me although sadly she seems to be developing good taste (unlike me). Say it ain't so! She's actually 26 right now so either she ages in inverse dog years like I do or this is an old picture.
The beautiful young lady on the left is
Melissa Clark. She's a swimmer and used to be a lifeguard so that makes her
a pretty cool gal. She's majoring in Business or Computer Science or some sort of unearthly hybrid of the two. If you get the chance to get to know her, you'll find she's a pretty nice gal.
The link goes to her metamorphic web page at geocities.
Zebulon Michael Highben, he's one of my roommates and quite the ladies' man.
Here he is with his prom date, a very prominent Bush. Just look at the two of them blushing.
Too bad it was a relationship destined
to fail due to all the Bush's Barbs and also because Zeb is a staunch Democrat,
or as he would say, "... just not a Republican." Despite
that fateful date, Zeb has been able to move on to a most successful college career as a
Music Education major. A master of arts and ethics Zeb almost religiously
goes to church every Sunday to pray for our souls. We all hope that his prayers are answered.
The fellow on the right is Brian Holdren.
That's a guy that never stops working,
here he is carefully preparing a series of troop movements for his next StarCraft
tournament. He's another computer science major and also one of my roomates. If
you have a computer question he has an answer... sort of a universal Mr. Fix it.
He lives in Miamisburg just south of Kettering which is just south of Dayton. In other news,
Brian recently got accepted to graduate school in the Computer Science department at OSU.
The link will take you to his home hosted web page.
I've known Ben Hout ever since elementary school. He's been my neighbor and friend for
about nine years. Currently he's enrolled at Wright State University as a music major. He does really well academically and I don't think I've ever met a
better sax player. He's been teaching private lessons all through the school year, and he also works at
Blockbuster a day or two a week.
Katrina my parents picked up as a stray years before I was born. She lived quite well in
a family of dogs for many years... sometimes I think she thought she was a dog. Being quite
loyal she would frequently lay gifts on our doorstep (decapitated birds and dead mice).
On the right is Heather Mann, future president of the United States of America.
She's from Westlake up near Cleveland. If you want to know more
about her, she's got a really great web page and there's a link under her photo.
This picture of Heather was taken while she was rather intoxicated, and in order to
persuade me to take it down, she has put out a contract on my life. So far... I've managed to avoid
most of the hits....

Roscoe, best friend of Katrina. Quite a scoundrel, his exploits have made the papers
on multiple occassions. Once when he stole a sled from a child and ran away with it by pulling
on the rope, and another time when he liberated a downed quarterback of a football in an intramural
game at OSU. They are still looking for the ball.
There be Sabastian, terror of the living room and guardian of the fireplace. No living being
has ever dared to cross Sabastian and escape unscathed. You can always hear him
coming by the click clickity clack of his claws tapping and scraping against the kitchen floor tiles.
Here is one
Who possessed Beauty
Without Vanity,
Strength without Insolence,
Courage without Ferocity,
And all the Virtues of Man
Without his Vices.
Samantha
Best friend a kid could have, honestly.
Sophie, a shadow amongst shadows. The only sign to reveal her presence is the tell tale
dangling pink tongue... and of course the extremely loud barking, broken fences, windows, and doors.
Sophie has a little problem recongnizing barriers. Sometimes she'll plow right into a fence
or a door without thinking to open it or walk to a gate. The end result is usually a broken
screen, a smashed wood plank, or a broken window. I don't think she even feels the impact. Lately she's
started to mellow out a bit.
The gal on the left is ol' Aurea Anne Tucay. The two of us go back a ways.
Get this, I'm just getting my BS in Computer Science after four years, but in that same time
period, she earned a Bachelors in Electrical Engineering and Physics, and a Master's in applied Physics. Now she's on her way to a doctorate at MIT. If you want you can go to her web page - but I think it's mostly about her brothers,
Alexis and Viktor. Also since it's hosted by Columbia, I don't know how much longer it will be up.
This guy on the right is Viktor Tucay, he's Aurea's older brother and a student at OSU.
If you need to con someone or learn how to steal from / manipulate the Ohio State University, this is
the kid to see. Unfortunately Viktor has erased almost all records of his existence, and this
picture from his assault on University Hall is the only one to escape destruction. The FBI has been tracking
Viktor for a number of years, poor fools... they'd never suspect to look for him in the US army.
I'll be updating this section as soon as I get pictures for those whom I've left out... until then, nobody take offense. Okay that's probably a lie, I've got more work to do than I can possibly keep up with.
