Davis High Class of '98 Now!




Samantha (Johnson) Farr
Hello all you amazing ‘98’ers! I’ve loved reading everyone’s stories, now here’s mine: After a rollercoaster romance that began when we were just kids at DHS, my high school sweetheart (class of ’97), and I married in March 2001 and then moved into a great little duplex a block and a half from DHS where we spent the next 3 ½ very happy years while we both attended WSU. In 2004 we purchased a home in Syracuse where we are living still, among some of the best people in the world.

I spent the first nine years following graduation working in the fields of optometry and ophthalmology as an optician, insurance and billing specialist, and ophthalmology technician – a dynamic career I found both challenging and rewarding. In April 2006 our son James was born and in June 2007 I settled into my dream job, that of full-time mom and homemaker, and I couldn’t be happier with any other career. This past March I gave birth to a beautiful baby girl, Emily. I spend most of my time now chasing after my terrible (but adorable) two-year old and cuddling my sweet baby girl. Nate has spent the last three years establishing a growing small business, Netcom Consulting, which primarily manages the IT needs of small businesses. It keeps him very busy but we are excited to see what the future holds for him.
We have stayed pretty close to DHS over the last decade. Nate has offered his drumming talents in the pit for numerous musical productions for both DHS and Kaysville City Musical Theater productions. He also spent 2 years working as assistant instructor for the DHS drumline – a position which took us twice to Southern California with the marching band. We loved hanging out with the kids and being in the marching band scene again and were sad when he became too busy to continue. Since High School I’ve had the privilege of performing on the DHS stage in 5 Kaysville City Theater productions and numerous concerts with the Davis Master Chorale and plan to continue to be involved in the community arts in the future.

Not caring too much about adventure and preferring to stay close to our roots and our families, we have plans to move our growing family back home to Kaysville in the next few years. It’s been crazy and fun to read all the amazing things everyone has been doing these past ten years and to see how we’ve all grown up. A big thanks to those of you who set up and run this site!

Hey Sam. It's great to hear what you've been up too these past 10 years. You seem so happy. It's great to hear your both still involved with music. I'm looking forward to seeing you at the reunion.

Sam! I can't wait to visit with you at the reunion. I love that you are still involved in community theater. I totally wish I still lived in Kaysville so that we could do plays together! Your kids are so cute. I see your mom every once in a while when we are up visiting family. I can't wait to see you!

Stacey,
I've wondered what you've been up to all this time! I'd love to catch up but I can't make the reunion. Do you have a blog or something?
