We Have Spirit Yes We Do! We Have Spirit, How About YOU?

We hope the CHS Class of 1979 show's their spirit by coming to the reunion. I know, sometimes we dread things that we think will be a drag, when they aren't a even a drag at all. Okay, the 10 year reunion wasn't very good at all, but the 20 year was a blast. It was fun to see everyone and just talk and laugh. Let's make the 30 year the same if not better! We'll see you there!

That was then....this is now! Photo Submission Deadline Extended to August 30th

Jesse Marinoff Reyes was kind enough to send us some photos. He is unable to make it to the reunion, but he will be there in spirit. He resides in Brooklyn, New York with the two loves of his life, his wife Amy and beautiful daughter Melina. Melina is so adorable she almost makes me want to have more children (NOT!).

As you may remember, Jesse was a very talented artist. After discovering that the UW design program was a bit lack luster, he bolted for a more humble, but respected commercial art program at SCCC, graduating in 1983. He decided to New York City in 1989 to join former Rocket art director Robert Newman at the rock magazine, Guitar World, succeeding him as design director shortly thereafter. Reyes was later co-editor of Harris Comics, art director of Slant magazine for Urban Outfitters, and design director of The Village Voice alternative newspaper. He has also been a consulting designer for the magazines Entertainment Weekly, Details, POV, Vibe, and No Depression (the alternative-country music magazine). In the mid-90s, Reyes transitioned to book publishing and was an associate art director at Penguin Books (his cover designs have graced a variety of subjects: the work of literary figures like Jack Kerouac, Jorge Luis Borges, Iris Murdoch, and John Mortimer; biographies ranging from historic figures like Michael Collins, Crazy Horse, and Thomas Paine, to cultural and sports figures like John Coltrane, Ethel Merman, Yogi Berra, Joe Namath, Cal Ripken, Jr., and Gale Sayers; as well as books as diverse as a punk-rock memoir, The Crusades, both world wars, Richard Nixon's presidency, and a history of the horror movie).

Reyes is one of a select few new American designers included in the 1994 edition of the Who's Who in Graphic Design, an international, juried review of leading design professionals, as well as having his work featured in many other books and design publications, and has won numerous industry awards. In 2000, Reyes authored a design survey book, "Next: The New Generation in Graphic Design."

In 2006, Reyes married his long-time girlfriend, the former Amy Bowman, who is production manager for Random House Children's Books. In 2007, Amy gave birth to their daughter Melina Dolores Consuela Reyes. Reyes now freelances from home in Brooklyn, and spends a lot of time watching Melina grow up. Jesse states, "The economy may be DOA, but even in these dark times the clouds do have a silver lining or two. For me, my little girl is the rainbow after the storm."
