Michael Dinkelman

Me? I'm Michael Dinkelman. I was a non-descript member of the class of 76. No letters, no honors, not a head, a jock, not on the party circuit - just a basic run-of-the-mill member of the school. My thing was Chess and the Amateur Radio Club. Excitement eh? I remember some of your faces but when I left Mt. Rainier, that was pretty much the end of of any contact except for attending the 10 year reunion. I have actually had more contact with people I knew in the grade school as a military brat than the people I spent 3 years going to high school with. Life synopsis? I been happily married 23 years, no kids, 3 step kids. I have a 2 year technical degree in Electronics and a Bachelors in Computer Science. I work as a Software Engineer at a local medical electronics company. I'm highly active in the local Amateur Radio Community and have a place out east of Kent where you can grow 100 foot towers without the neighbors getting crazy. At this point, I'm not particularly nostalgic about my high school years and the few people I did hang with back then haven't shown up on alumni websites such as Classmates.com. Still, I do feel a bond and as our 25th anniversary rolls around, it would be nice to have a regular channel of communication that doesn't cost $30 a year to keep open, even if it was only used sporadically.
