Bryan
Known Since: 1987
Resides In: Bennington, NE
Bryan I met through Kevin, one of Kevin's many pals I met that became lifelong friends of mine. We were young, we all hung out at each other's houses, we drank too much (especially you, Bryan, Mr. Orange California Cooler Vomit Guy. At least that one day...)...ah, to be 18 again. Bryan was especially useful to the group because he was one of the ones with a car. Bryan, you learn from the start, is just a great guy. He's fun and crazy, but he's level. He's focused. Nothing shakes him, and there's no one he can't take in stride. He always seems to have a smile, just a great life attitude. He was one of the few of our Mission Park gang to actually get out of Sacramento...and the state. Bryan left this exciting life of wine coolers and all-night park parties to move to Nebraska, where he not only got a career started, but met the girl he would marry. Greg and I flew back to Nebraska for the wedding and were proud to stand up for our pal. Sadly, as happens with life, I've managed to lose touch with Bryan for a while, but maybe working on this page will remind me to give them a call and find out what's up! When I last saw he and his wife Beverly, back in '97, they already had two kids. Can't wait to find out if they have any more.
Random Me and Bryan Memory: Poker and pirate voices, baby. Arrrr!!

Bev
Known Since: Uh, 1989, I think
Resides In: Bennington, NE
I met Beverly (Bev), when Bryan brought her back to Sacramento to visit back in the late 80s. I didn't see her again until that wedding trip to Nebraska. But it was during that trip that I got to know her, finally, and couldn't be happier that I did. You always like to see your friends marry the right girl, and we all knew that Bryan had definitely scored. A Nebraska native, Bev is a kick to be around, being both fun and funny. And she also gives some pretty good love advice, as she did when I was going through my breakup. One of these days I'm really going to have to hop a plane to Nebraska and see the both of them again. And I'd sure like to do it during the summer again, because boy howdy, do I love that Nebraska humidity.
