Reunion Survey Answers 1999
1. What are you doing now?
I just launched a joint venture with Puff Daddy. The label is called "Sean John". It is a young urban high end Hip Hop brand sold in Macy's, Boomingdales, etc. The company has done suprisingly well. If you have not heard of it yet, you will. In 6 months sales have reached US$16 million. Its working well as Puff Daddy(his real name is Sean Combes) is very good friends with Whitney, and Mariah, and they wear his clothing when the perform in concert. This is a good thing as when a true fan of these performers sees their idols wearing "Sean John" they all want the same clothing. So far we have the following people wearing "Sean John" for free at their shows or in public: Whitney Houston, Mariah Carry, Mace, Heavy D, LL Cool J, Jen Lopez, Tim Hardaway, Alanzo Morning, Latrell Spreewell and Kevin Garnett. It has all worked out very well. Currently I live in 2 places. 1/2 the year I spend in HK where I take care of sourceing the clothes from all over Asia and the other half of the year I spend in NY. I have apartments in both places and I'm having the best time of my life. In addition I still sell clothes to Gap, JC Penny's, Walmart, Kmart, Sears and Target. This side of my business caters to mass merchandise of America. I can't complain things have worked out very well. A few more years and I should be able to retire.
2. Are you married? When? Kids? How old?
I am not married yet, close, but not yet. I most likely will be by age 29 (I'm 27 now). I have a girlfriend who I have been with for a very long time and I do know she is the one. I am skeptical at getting married to young. Marriage is something that I want to do 1 time, not several. I think for me 29 is the right age.
3. Most exciting thing to happen to you since we graduated.
My work as described above.
4. Any graduate work?
No, nothing after undergrad.
5. Who do you most want to contact from our class/expect to see at the reunion?
I have contacted everyone who I have wanted to, thanks to Angela, she is doing an excellent job of pulling everyone from our class together. Thanks Angela.
6. Funniest memory from HKIS?
When a few people from our class tried loaded the new Cafeteria with live chickens overnight, only to find none of them there when they arrived at school the next day to admire the results of their efforts.
7. What was your "Ten Years From Now?"...Did it happen?
I do not remember, I think it was that I would be living off my parents and would not be employed. Partly true, I am an employer.
8. Now that we've grown up, are you what you wanted to be? What do you want to be?
Yes, I would not change a thing, life is excellent.
9. Favorite HKIS teacher? Least favorite?
Favorite - Mrs. Keegan - she got me into college with her recommendations. Least Favorite - that slag that taught biology - I forget her name(thank God) she had short black hair and always knew when I was messing around.
10. How many cities have you lived in since graduation?
2 cities that I still live in - NY and Hong Kong.
