* Amy Doubt Richardson *



1. Where are you living right now? How long have you lived there? Flagstaff, AZ. Been here for 7 years.
2. Are you married? Who did you marry? Christopher "Chris" Richardson. We married in the summer of 2001. He grew up in New Mexico.
3. Do you have kids? Yes 2!
Randon David (5.5 years)
Alora Ashlynn (18 mos.)
Our life revolves around these two!
4. Do you have a college degree? What school(s) did you attend? I received my Associate of Arts in Theatre from Eastern AZ College in 2002 and my Bachelors of Arts in English from NAU in 2005.
5. What do you do for a living? Currently I am a stay-at-home mom but want to use my degrees or pursue a paralegal job when they are both in school. I like to do photography on the side, mainly as a hobby.
6. How many places have you lived since graduation? Only 2. Thatcher, AZ (99-02) and Flagstaff, AZ (02- current) I hope to add some more places to that list someday...
7. Briefly summarize any other major events that have happened in your life since graduation.
The condensed version: Had fun at EAC for a few years, fell in love, got married, moved to NAU, had kids, still in Flag enjoying life being a mom, wife and busy with family life!
8. What is your favorite memory of high school? Trips with speech/debate and mock-trial events. So many fun things happened. I also enjoyed the football games and dances.
9. What is your favorite song(s) from high school? So many. Oasis, U2,Bush, No Doubt, Jewel and Sarah McLachlan bring back a lot of memories from that time. Any 90's alternative hit really. I really enjoyed the music of that decade.
10. Who is the teacher you remember most from high school? Why?
Andrea Borg. The team spent so much time with her over the years she coached and she is a wonderful lady who sacrificed so much for our team. I also remember Dan Korzec for his fun class and his coaching time for mock-trial.
11. Have you been able to keep in contact with any former classmates? Who? Email has been a nice thing to have since I have not been able to see many people since HS. We all did our different things of course. I was roommates in college with Deana Barnes in 2000 though, and that was a really fun time. I also got to throw her baby shower in 2002. I really miss Deana, she was and always will be one of my favorite people. All of my other good friends in HS, thank you for all the good times!!:)
12. If you could go back, what would you change about your high school years? I would try not to wish it all away so fast. All I want is for my kids to not grow up so fast!!
13. Where do you see yourself in 5 years? 10 years?In 5 years I hope to have my masters degree and possibly working in a job I enjoy (paralegal or something in the law field). In 10 years I would like to be living somewhere new. My husband might get into anesthesiology in the future and we would like to be in a nice city with the program he needs and a good hospital for him to work in. Good schools for our kids, etc. Personally, I do not like to think about my son being in HS though!:)
14. What is one accomplishment since high school that you are proud of? My family and my education!
15. What is one piece of advice you would give a future graduate of SJHS? Not to worry so much about what people think of you, be yourself, embrace what you love to do. Oh yeah, and even though SJ is a great place, try to see something else after HS at least for a little while, it is a big world out there.....
16. Did you have a favorite subject in HS? Did it influence your future job choice? I always loved English and the dramatic arts so yes, it totally influenced the majors I pursued. Mock-trial completely won me over and I hope to someday pursue something in the field someday.
17. Do you make it back to St.Johns very often? My parents are still there so I try to go back a couple of times a year to see them.
18. Do you have plans to attend the reunion? It turns out that is a busy weekend for us so I will be missing out. I do want to see the pictures though!
19. Anything else you would like to share? I think that pretty much sums it up above !:)
20. Anything else you want to say to your former classmates? I hope you are doing well!
