We talk tonight for the first time in 16 years.<\/p>\n

We went to Placer High School together<\/a>. Just before graduation, we made a movie together called "The Adventures of Shannon and Luke<\/a>."<\/p>\n

I put it on YouTube<\/a>.<\/p>\n

After graduation, I went to Australia for a year. Shannon got a cyst on his brain requiring major surgery.<\/p>\n

He’d just met a girl.<\/p>\n

He married her after the surgery.<\/p>\n

They went on to have three kids.<\/p>\n

He’s now a prosecutor in Arizona.<\/p>\n

Like me, he hasn’t kept up with anyone from high school.<\/p>\n

We make plans to go to our 25th anniversary reunion next June.<\/p>\n

We talk about our classmates.<\/p>\n

The guy who edited our high school newspaper the year before me, Eric Schulzke<\/a>, is now a political scientist. He linked me a year ago but didn’t reply to my email.<\/p>\n

I don’t hear from Rob Stutzman<\/a> either, who was a spokesman for Governor Schwarzeneger.<\/p>\n

Luke: "I Googled you a bunch but couldn’t track you down. I saw you were a prosecutor in King County… I thought when I put up ‘The Adventures of Shannon and Luke’ that would flush you out."<\/p>\n

Shannon: "That was just a catalyst for you, man. You’ve had quite an adventure."<\/p>\n

"Are you still attacking the porno industry?"<\/p>\n

Luke: "I quit that last October."<\/p>\n

Shannon: "How come?"<\/p>\n

Luke: "My rabbi put an end to it."<\/p>\n

Shannon: "The rabbi’s got to be the first person on the planet who’s ever successfully told Luke Ford what to do."<\/p>\n

Luke: "Remember April White [a year below us at Placer]?"<\/p>\n

Shannon: "Yeah."<\/p>\n

Luke: "She went on to write and produce erotic movies."<\/p>\n

We remember her as a shy quiet girl who played some basketball and worked on the yearbook.<\/p>\n

I look up her entry on imdb.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Here are some of her writing credits:<\/p>\n

    I went to bed early and listened to music from the 1980s. I was awash in memories. I was excited. I couldn’t sleep. I got angry. I turned off the music. I tossed and turned. I must’ve nodded off after 2 a.m.<\/p>\n
