my MIA classmates list just got one person shorter. last week i discovered that i had an old email address for kevin purdy in my address book. i sent an email to it and got a reply back! he's not dead of a drug overdose! he may still be in hiding somewhere, but at least i have confirmed that he's still out there somewhere.

also, last week i found ian findley on facebook. lol

oh, and i did manage to track down spanky. while i didn't get a chance to talk to him directly, i did talk to his dad and pass along my contact info. knowing he was being shipped out to korea, then none of us ever heard from him again was distressing. i'm just happy to know that he too is ok.
