Penny Ewy-Clark (84)
I am happily married to Rob Clark. We both teach at Moore High School, so I guess I never really left high school—that sounded really sad. I teach English IV and am one of the Senior Sponsors—graduation is an amazing thing to help with. Rob teaches Business/Computers. We have an 11 year old niece who lives with us, and she is one of the greatest blessings of our life. We also have three crazy dogs. Spending time with family and our friends is very important to us both.
We travel every chance we get. We recently got back from a trip to the east coast where we stayed for 2 months while Rob coached collegiate baseball. Some who attended the old 89er’s games may remember him when he played for them or the Texas Rangers or Astros organizations, although he did not graduate with us. I am in the process of completing another degree—this one is in Administration with an emphasis in legal issues. I can honestly say that I love teaching high school, so even after I complete the degree, I know I will somehow stay in the classroom even if it is teaching college. Things have changed a great deal since we were all at MHS. It is really eye-opening when I get a student whose parent is a 1984 graduate!! Talk about making you feel old!

Charles Ellis (84)
After graduation, I left to go to college and my parents moved to Houston, so I never really came back...sorry! I got married in 1986 to a great girl I met in college. We have 3 kids, my oldest just started college at our alma mater, Abilene Christian University. My other daughter is a freshman in high school and my son is in the 5th grade. I work in the Communications Department of the Fort Worth ISD, while my wife is a teacher in the Northwest ISD. We moved around a lot early on as I was working for various TV stations in Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas and Missouri and then I spent 6 years in the Athletic Department for Texas A&M University. We finally settled in Fort Worth in 2004 and will probably be here for a while longer. I still do Video Production, but now it's more marketing then commercial, plus I get to be an instructor for some of the students in the district. I still have yet to make a reunion, mainly due to bad luck and bad timing...maybe I'll make to the 30th! I have made it to 2 alumni days for MHS baseball...and will probably be at the next one in April of 2010!
