With Callahan moving to Dallas and me moving to Seattle, we decided to have “The Goodfellas” get back together again for one last night. Since we spent most of high school together (with no girls to be found) it was only appropriate that the reunion was similar – although Allison was there as our official picture taker. She took this picture back when we graduated in 1997:
\n\"Goodfella<\/a>
\nAt that time, from left to right: Sarge was planning on going to UNH<\/a>, after having gotten in to Holy Cross<\/a> but screwed up the paperwork for financial aid. Deion was getting ready to go to Northeastern<\/a> where hopefully he would meet his first girlfriend. Tom was going to Carnegie Mellon<\/a> and I think was in the middle of a girlfriend breakup at this time. Callahan was going to UNH where he would live with Sarge because they’re BFF<\/a>. Schulte was going to BC<\/a>, and I’m sure didn’t believe he had any chance of meeting a woman. Ever.<\/p>\n

Now in 2005:
\n\"The<\/a>
\nWe lined up in the same order because we’re complete tools, and Allison was once again the photographer. Sarge<\/b> graduated from UNH, then went to BU<\/a> for law school. He’s now a lawyer in Massachusetts, he went gay, and lives with his boyfriend in Lowell (where the picture was taken). Deion<\/b> spent a trimester or two at Northeastern before dropping out and working a string of wildly successfull retail sales jobs. He now works at Best Buy in Concord and seems to have a good stream of electronic toys which we can only assume were purchased legally. He finally has a girlfriend. Tom<\/b> got a Master’s degree from Carnegie Mellon, and after being a total nerd on the East Coast is reloating to the West Coast to continue being a nerd, but hopefully to a lesser extent. He’s dating a girl who works at Microsoft, which isn’t a good sign. Callahan<\/b> graduated from UNH then went to Harvard<\/a> (after a brief bit at Stanford<\/a>) to get his law degree. He is making stupid money, he’s engaged [to a woman], and is moving to Dallas. Schulte<\/b><\/a> finished up at BC, better late than never, and unexpectedly was the first person of our group to get married. He lives in a house<\/a> in NH, participates in a bowling league, and for all intents and purposes his life is over.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
