Where Are They Now? — Ed Plummer

Hi! This is Ed Plummer's wife, Dede. Ed is a pretty busy guy and quite prone to procrastination so I am taking it upon myself to write this for him. Some of you may not remember Ed. He moved to Provo in his Sophomore year from Minnesota.

He was that guy who always had his face painted at sporting events.

That guy who had his jaw wired shut for 2 months and had to drink his meals through a straw. He was skinny before the wires, he was bordering on starvation after the 2 months.

Maybe you'll remember that guy who had to beg his teachers to be able to graduate because he spent too much time planning elaborate "games" to play with his friends involving water guns and id cards to actually attend class.

Well, contrary to most people's predictions, he is still alive. He is also not in jail. He is actually living a pretty regular life. I think he is pretty bored, to be honest.

In a nut shell: Went on a mission to Las Vegas, NV. Came back and started dating the hottest chick on the planet, the former Dede Stephenson (PHS 89). Married the hot chick, followed her to the University of Utah. Went on to get his MBA and have 3 awesome kids (Rian 14, Samantha 9 & Hank 6).

He started working for American Express after graduation and is still there today. That company has moved us from Utah to NYC to Greensboro, NC and we are now back in the NYC suburb of Short Hills, NJ where Ed is currently the VP of Customer Relationship Marketing.

Ed is unfortunately not going to be able to make the reunion because, well we live in NJ. But he will be in Utah at the end of July/early August and I am sure he would love to hear from everyone he has lost touch with. eplumm@gmail.com

Wow he was always the funniest and nicest guy. What a shock that he grew up and is a president. Beautiful family. I lived in Chatham for a little while so I know right where y'all live!

Ed,

You rebel! I always knew that you'd eventually revolt against your parents, put on a suit, and join a multi-national corporation. The Reagan Revolution lives on!

i remember the "straw incident" of '87. Ed was trying to explain without the use of his jaw, what happened while we were sitting in Ms Scott's typing class.

Ed was always the teachers pet in there too!

Ed, such fond memories of you from high school. You made biology actually bearable!! Congratulations on your beautiful family and well deserved success. We'll miss you at the reunion.

Ed,
Although you are fantastically accomplished and successful now, I bet I could still beat you at that ridiculous root beer serving video game. How about a rematch when you're next in town?

Ed, nice to hear from you(r wife). I remember the assassination game (with squirt guns and ID cards). Nothing like running to class sideways so you could keep an eye behind and in front of you for your potential hitman. Too bad you won't be at the reunion.

Ed. Look how glad we all are that you married Dede. I remain appreciative of your failed effort to turn me into a debater, especially your patience with me when we were supposed to be spending all night compiling evidence and I was more interested in massive amounts of caffeine and twizzlers, and watching topgun.
