Craig's Story
I lived in Hillsboro from second grade through my junior year of high school, moving at that time to Burns, OR. I graduated from Burns High School in 1978.
I am looking forward to returning to Hillsboro to get reacquainted with all the people I grew up with.
My wife Lori (from Gresham) and I have been married for 20 years. We have three teenagers all unique, wonder children.
After college (OCE) I spent most of my career in business management, was offered a promotion to manage the west coast, declined the job, semi-retired and move back to Burns in 2003 to a more rural slower pace of life.
I am President and founder of a company called Speaker Motivations which is a public speaking and consulting firm. I spend my time traveling to speaking engagements and doing consulting work...Expand for more

The thing that will surprise everyone most at the reunion is the fact that I was a quiet, non assuming, skinny kid that appeared to lack confidence; wait to see what happened to that kid!
I believe it to be an important factor to finally reveal and inform everyone that from an early age I maintained a very distant, silent crush on a most beautiful and inspiring classmate. I never attempted to communicate this to her or to anyone for that matter, it was one of those infatuations that was best kept to ones self.
Lisa Lazzareski (forgive the spelling) kept me spell bound and provided a much needed bright spot in an otherwise monotonous routine of school. Now you all know, I feel so much better to have finally revealing this long kept secret!
