The Students of "Recess": Where Are They Now?

I thought that it would be fun if I imagined the lives of our favorite Third Street School students and see where they ended up after school let out.

Gretchen Grundler: Partnered with Richard Branson on his Virgin Galactic project straight out of college and is still Yo-Yo world champion after a brief stint out of the pro circuit.

Gus Griswald: Disobeyed a direct order from his father and joined the Air Force instead of the Army. He then was recruited by former classmate Gretchen Grundler to be a pilot for Virgin Galactic. He flies under the nickname 'El Diablo'.

Mikey Blumberg: Shy-guy-turned-crooner Mikey exploded onto the music scene after he opened for Michael Bublé. He has since inked a lucrative record deal and receives tons of love letters every day, but he rejects them all hoping that his one true love, Ms. Salamone, will come back.

Ashley Spinelli: The tough-girl of Third Street is an aspiring artist who has a visceral sense of style and composition. She was recently commissioned to create a piece for the city of Seattle to eventually be put on permanent display as a symbol for the city.

Randall Weems: Busted for dealing meth in college, Randall has become a CI (confidential informant) for the FBI and has helped take down some of the biggest drug cartels in the country. Albeit, so he can build his own drug empire.

King Bob: After relinquishing his throne he turned into quite the political figure. He became his High School student body president, then joined the student council in college where he eventually became president - again - and then became the president of his fraternity. He has parlayed that success into earning a seat on the city council in hopes of one day running for Mayor, then Governor, then President of the United States. All while keeping the unibrow.

The Diggers: Still digging. This time for oil.

Swinger Girl: Joined Cirque du Soleil and has appeared in multiple shows across the world as a swinging expert.

Upside Down Girl: Tried to earn money stripping but found out that just hanging upside down is not the best way to earn cash. It is rumored that she can be found on Craigslist for the voyeur crowd where people can pay to watch her hang upside down. 

Lawson: Lawson entered the witness protection program after he left the Church of Scientology. He has not been heard from since.

Vince LaSalle: After helping create NAKBA (North American Kickball Association) he led the New York Empires to four-straight NAKBA titles where he earned MVP is those four finals. He also opened a French Bistro, LaSalle's, on the Upper West Side where he is the chef during the off season. 

TJ Detweiler: A natural people-person, TJ became a successful venture capitalist. His influence is seen in many of the products we use today. From internet startups to maple syrup conglomerates, he has a way to bring out the best in everyone he meets and helps bring out that potential so they, and he, can be successful. He is known to be dating an aspiring artist but is very hush-hush on his personal life.
