Fritz Hinrichs, the mild-mannered  tutor (and sometime Homeric hero) of Escondido, son of Tom and Joanne Hinrichs, and Christy Hass, sometime slave of the government school system (soon to be freed in order to gain her status as Homeric trophy bride) of Rocklin,  are delighted to announce the successful culmination of their whirlwind twenty-eight day courtship, (which, though objectively was a short period of time, was subjectively perceived to be unduly long) aided by the successful matchmaking skills and spatula divination of Tamara Olsen of Elk Grove (call now for special deals in the holiday season!).
Christy graduated from Temecula Valley High School in 1990 and Westmont College in 1994.  She is currently an English teacher at Oakmont High.  She enjoys rabble-rousing on her soap box by telling her students that China is going to take over unless they start reading more than Pokemon books and Sports Illustrated.
Fritz graduated from San Pasqual High School in 1986 and St. John’s College in 1990.  He went on to receive an M.A. in religion from Westminster Seminary in 1992.  He is the sole proprietor of Escondido Tutorial Services where he teaches classical literature and mathematics on the Internet.
Fritz enjoys making music, reading, woodworking, seeing students sweat, and producing mental discipline in them by demanding protracted periods of cognition while Christy likes to cook, run, read, interpretive dance, look at her scintillating engagement ring, spend time with children, and give Fritz a hard time about not knowing Latin.
Mr. Hinrichs and Miss Hass were engaged outside of Slocum House Restaurant on Friday, November 19^th at 8:00 with lines from Aeneid, half-memorized poetry, and rain.
They will honeymoon in Switzerland where they plan to study professional yodeling in hopes of having a Y2K compliant occupation in case Mr. Hinrichs’ business goes up in smoke before returning to Escondido to take up residence and begin a two-person campaign to substantially increase the homeschool population of the United States.
