Melinda Lynch, Class of 1989

CURRENT LOCATION:

Santa Ana, CA as of this year. Previously we lived in the SFV for 10 yrs.

FAMILY LIFE:

I have been happily married to Kevin Lynch (Fillmore '88) since 1992. Kevin and I met at SFMM where we both worked retail. Now, we have one precious child, Shona, born Oct. 16, 1998. Hope to have more when the time is right.

EDUCATION:

I half-heartedly attended COC, and Pierce Community College. Finally got my act together after working in various McJobs for several years and enrolled at West Valley Occupational Center in Woodland Hills. I studied and received a certificate in Graphic Arts. A humble start, but it got me into a career.

EMPLOYMENT:

Currently I am a stay-at-home mom -- using all the skills I acquired over the years to raise a human being. Pretty important position, huh? Before parenthood, I worked in the newspaper industry for a company called AdOut. We churned out ads all day and night to run in The Daily News, LA Times, and several others. Worked there like a dog for almost 4 years. Loved it, but don't miss it much now. The only job prior to AdOut that was any fun was working for SFMM. I was the candle maker there for almost 3 years.

HOBBIES:

I am active in the Costa Mesa MOMS Club, the yahoo group APOrange County, and La Leche League. Still enjoy drawing, reading, and meeting new people.

MISCELLANEOUS:

I am very different from the girl you may have known at Saugus. Though I was a complete slacker student, I have found much of the education I did receive at Saugus to be useful and unique. Not every HS was studying Shakespeare, Sci-Fi, American & World Lit. Not every school had GLADD or Strategy. I can see why former students would want to go back to SHS and teach.

I would enjoy any emails from classmates whether I knew you well or not.

I particularly would like to hear from Shanon Loring, my best friend at Saugus.

Hope all of '89 are doing well in life.
