Barb KellmannQ1: HOMELIFE:

Barb (Kellmann) Shooshanian...I live in Dearborn (about two minutes from Edsel Ford) although I always said I was going to

contract with Health Alliance Plan (the health insurance company) and we work with the agents in the field selling HAP

insurance. I've been in the insurance industry for the past 15 years. Over the past year the industry has changed significantly,

so I always think about my dream job...owning a Hallmark store! People who buy cards are happy people...and I want to work

with happy people!

Q3: EDUCATION:

The majority of my career has been based on being self taught. However, I still have the personal goal of getting my degree. I

made the decision to go back to school about two years ago with the goal of graduating by the time I am 40. This past year

presented a couple challenges for me...so now I'm hoping to graduate by 41!

actively involved in the city and schools. I am proud to be a Dearborn resident. I love to go out to eat so two of my favorite

places to eat are Tria (a cute restaurant in The Henry...a total hidden gem!) and Bistro 222 on Michigan Avenue. I also love to

ride my bike or walk the trails behind Andiamos/Henry Ford Estate and U of M Dearborn. To be honest...I have used some

English Humanities since I went back to school! Prior to that...not so much!


The most interesting thing I've done in the last 20 years is when I traveled to Australia with my Mom and sister. It was the

most amazing trip! As I mentioned above I love to travel. In addition to Australia, I've been to England and France. I also love

going to Florida and good ole Las Vegas! By far my greatest achievement in life has been battling breast cancer. I was going to Florida and good ole Las Vegas! By far my greatest achievement in life has been battling breast cancer. I was

diagnosed last October and I am in the home stretch of being a survivor. Battling this disease teaches you so much about

yourself...lessons I am grateful to have learned.


Oh gosh...I THINK we sang Love Shack!!?? Would that be right?? I can't remember! One of my "appropriate" high school

stories to tell was in 10th grade with Mr. Harris. Mr. Harris was blind but would ALWAYS somehow catch me bringing a Diet

Sprite in class. "Miss Kellmann...get rid of the pop"...How did he always know!!?? I'll save the "not so appropriate" stories for

the reunion!

Barb Kellmann

Q8: YOUR 20’s:

I learned how to be confident in my decisions and confident in myself no matter what mistakes I made and what people

thought of me.


I hate to say that I'm not terribly close to many people from high school. However, I do feel like I've been able to re-connect

with people through social media. I'm excited to see everybody in PERSON not on FACEBOOK.


Yes...I am coming to the reunion. I am really looking forward to hopefully seeing some of the old group of girls I used to hang

around with (Renee Cantor, Jenny Shingler, Joyel Wingrove, Kerri Hasper, Amy Osborn).

Sara CarrQ1: HOMELIFE:

Sara Carr, Tommy Noel, Tommy's 15 year old son, Skylar, and our 3 year old son, Cosmo, live in the Sierra Nevada

Mountains just outside the northern entrance of Yosemite National Park.

Q2: WORK:

Right now Tommy is the Executive Chef and I am the Housekeeping Manager of Evergreen Lodge at Yosemite. The two of

us have worked in Hotel Restaurant Management together in beautiful places like Big Sur, Ca, The Big Island of Hawaii, and

Bellingham, Washington. My dream job is to have our own resort/hostel/restaurant in a tropical location. It would be

awesome. The millions of jobs I've had since high school would aid in it's amazing success. I've been an account manager,

accounts payable/receivable, assistant general manager, bar manager, bartender, buyer, caterer, costume designer, CSR for

a pager delivery company and a service that turned electromagnetic tape into microfiche (before hard drives, when all the

hospitals and universities had basements full of equipment to store their computer’s data), human resources, inventory and

control, lifeguard, marketer, merchandiser, MDMA paid research subject, mushroom farmer, nanny, park aide, producer of

giant events, project manager, restaurant manager, roadie, secretary, security guard, server, sheep shearer, social worker,

stage hand, stage manager, teacher, telemarketer, theater house manager and a warrant server.

Q3: EDUCATION:

Wayne State University, 1999, BS, Criminal Justice I never waited tables until I had my degree and my first "real" job. I made

24 grand a year and got a second job cocktail waitressing at the Second City Detroit. I made more money every two nights

than I brought home every 2 weeks. Realized college was overrated. Let go of the "real" job stigma and started really living

which included travelling. My best skills, besides never spilling my beer/coffee even though I'm prone to clumsiness is...some

kind of a combo of being able to get things done with not enough time, money, or people and still come away having learned

or experienced something positive that I will use again in the future. And to not have to learn the same lesson twice.

Q4: HOBBIES:

I heart fun. Our family lives where other families go on vacation. Think of your raddest vacay. We live there and on our days

off we play there. We enjoy camping, hiking, fishing, swimming, and when we decide we need some city life we head to the

bay and eat. We love baseball games, live music and people watching. Once in a while we all go out together and use the

wifi somewhere. Seriously, that is an event in our family. We live in the mountains without cell service (spotty, at best) and no

internet worth paying money for.

Q5: DEARBORN PRIDE:Q5: DEARBORN PRIDE:

I could never live in Dearborn now. I don't resent the place, it's just not enough for me. It's fun to visit, but never in winter.

During high school I remember writing 2 papers about how much I hated English Humanities. Turns out, I love that stuff now.

I got out of taking Humanities at Michigan State because I showed them our curriculum. I love going to art museums and

knowing the painting before I read the placard. I've changed a lot since I was a teenager. I always appreciated art, but now I

can finish the crossword puzzles and that's what's really important.


I won't have anything to talk about at the party. Check out www.bigsurfashionshow.com


At the Senior Party I sang Prince’s “Let’s Go Crazy” with Barb and Amy. I never had any idea what he was saying and I still

don’t, but at that moment, everything was crystal clear. My favorite story to remember is the night before the last day of

school, senior year. My favorite story to tell is the one from Freshman year when I broke both of my arms at the same time at

a gymnastics meet. There are G and R rated versions. The apex of the story is when Stick cracks the ice pack and goes to

start shaking it and it explodes disposable ice pack chemicals all over my face. Now, 23 years later, I know when it’s going to

rain because I can feel the barometric pressure change in my elbows and I know I’ll never get a chemical peel.

Q8: YOUR 20’s:

My twenties were all about falling in and out of love with people, places, ideas, habits, money and myself.


I still talk to and love a bunch of people from high school. And thanks to social media I can creep on a bunch of other people.


I'm flying to Michigan just for this event. I'll be there Friday and Saturday and can't wait to see everyone and their families.

And to eat elephant ears at the carnival. They don't have elephant ears on the West Coast, only churros and sometimes

funnel cakes.

Q4: HOBBIES:

I take the kids out to Camp Dearborn at least once a week. I enjoy live music and going to Tiger games.

Q5: DEARBORN PRIDE:

There is a folder of classical music in my iTunes library but I think it's more of a Looney Tunes influence rather than

humanities. Still come to Dearborn for haircuts and looking forward to having lunch at the Biergarten now that it has

reopened!


Travels have slowed down a bit, but we make an annual trip to Charleston, SC. Other trips include Vegas, Mexico, Puerto

Rico, Aruba, Curacao, St. Maarten, St. Thomas, lots of northern Michigan and we got married on a boat on Marco Island, FL

I have learned to enjoy Dearborn again. One of my favorite places is Kellys. I can't say that I have used English Humanities in

any way other than it was helpful in a couple of college classes. That is about it!


I love to travel & have had the opportunity to visit some interesting places. I spent 2 weeks in Okinawa, Japan. I have also

traveled to Mexico several times, Hawaii, Jamaica, & finally went on my first cruise to the Bahamas last year. Having friends

in the military can have its advantages!


I am not a fan of karaoke so I don't believe that is something I did at the Senior Party! If I did, I don't remember. High school

had lots of great memories! It is hard to just name one favorite story.

Q8: YOUR 20’s:

My twenties were fun, adventurous; challenging, & exciting!


Up until this past September when I reconnected with people on Facebook, one of tthe few people I stayed connected with

was Denise Potts. I dragged her to a sorority event on campus & not only did we remain friends but she was President of the

sorority. She was a great leader, one of the sweetest people you would ever meet, & has accomplished so any things over sorority. She was a great leader, one of the sweetest people you would ever meet, & has accomplished so any things over

Q3: EDUCATION:

University of Detroit Mercy -BFA 1998

Q4: HOBBIES:

I volunteer with children, I have for years through the Screen Actor's Guild. I read to them once a week, it's the most fulfilling

part of my week. I read a lot, tear through about 10 books a month. Usually, one on my kindle, two library books and a

borrowed book going at once. I traveled a lot in the last 20 years. Spain, Greece, Ireland, Australia, Italy, Austria, Mexico

Here in Cali, I take lots of road trips up and down the coast. I love to hike and am planning on running the L.A Marathon next

year. There, that's out there now it's gotta happen. Gulp.

Q5: DEARBORN PRIDE:

I love Dearborn still, even though my folks moved in 2004. I visit every year. Every trip to Dearborn involves a Miller's burger,

a sub from Gonella's, a drive down my old street, and a cruise up Outer Drive. English Humanities? Well, I was a member of

vocal ensemble, we had to learn the madrigals and other antiquated song selections that we sang in every classroom. I can

still sing a pretty mean madrigal.


I rock climbed in the beautiful mountains in Kentucky, bun jee jumped off a bridge in Australia, scuba dived the Great Barrier I rock climbed in the beautiful mountains in Kentucky, bun jee jumped off a bridge in Australia, scuba dived the Great Barrier

Reef, snorkeled in the Aegean Sea, sky-dived in the beautiful Cali desert, traveled to the most romantic place on earth,

Rome, with my future husband, got married in a dream wedding on Mackinac Island, and had the most beautiful little boy in

January. I am so proud to be a wife and a mother.


Senior Party? Not a clue, I think I remember a super cool wheel that we all played in. Most of my favorite stories involve Kristy

Napora, a friendship that has easily lasted 20+ years. I usually find it funny to say that I gave a speech at commencement,

because I did, with all my "wisdom" back then. I'm glad I did though, it really meant a lot to me back then. I did carry on a

sweet "first love" friendship with my high school boyfriend of 5 minutes, Marc Golles, for 15 years too. That was always fun to

see him when I was in town.

Q8: YOUR 20’s:

I cannot believe I dated such losers #beergoggles


I still hang with Krisry Napora, Kelli Muscat and Brandon Borg on the reg. I was at all of their weddings, except for Kristy, who
