    20th Anniversary BONUS Episode: Some highlights from the pod (so far)

    It's official. May 20, 2026 marks exactly 20 years since we graduated high school. To celebrate, we thought we'd remix some highlights of the moments from the podcast that have really made an impression on us. For those of you who have listened to those episodes, it'll be a fun recap. For those who haven't, maybe it'll entice you to press play!  As always, a special thanks to Steve Miller for our music and to James Evanson for our logo!

    Gehrig Dye

    Well, it sure has been a stretch since we posted. Or, at least it feels that way! Hopefully you've been able to catch up on our catalogue of episodes!    This week, we're visiting with Gehrig Dye about family life, a career that keeps him on the move and playing a pivotal role in a wide variety of building projects and how he does such a great job staying in touch with so many of our classmates.    As always, thanks to James Evanson for the logo and Steve Miller for the tunes!

    Brittany Lacock (Bealer)

    Emoji's go wild! We break down an unexpected text message Drew received from David before diving into this week's fabulous guest-- Brittany Lacock! Brittany shares about finding community and life on a ranch! But there's a lot more to her story. You'll enjoy this one! We're going on a bit of a hiatus after this episode. New episodes will be coming in a few weeks. Thanks for listening and, as always, a huge thank you to Steve Miller and James Evanson. You two know what you did.

    Connor McGillvray

    We're back at it post-Olympics with a breakdown of our takeaways from the Milan-Cortina games (interesting sidenote, you may recall the games were in Italy in 2006 as well).    Then, we get down to business with our guest, Connor McGillvray. You're sure to be impressed by what Connor considers to be a hard day's work (spoiler: it's a lot harder than ours).  As always, a thank you to Steve Miller for the tunes and James Evanson for the logo!

    Emily Hallock (Schwarz)

    We have a date for the reunion! It's on lock with details to follow!  Then, we dive into our interview with Emily Hallock (Schwarz) and learn about the world of web design and life in Bigfork, MT.  Self-discipline seemed to be the theme of this one! We think you'll enjoy it! As always, thanks to Steve Miller for the tunes and James Evanson for the logo!

    Ali Pekovich (Cross)

    We start off the episode by recapping Super Bowl LX, a joyous moment in the Trafton household.

From school in L.A. to adventures on Bumble and finding belonging back home, you're sure to enjoy catching up with her.  A sincere thank you to Steve Miller for the music and James Evanson for the logo!
