When I look back over the past 50 years I have to say there have been many more ups than downs. All things considerred I feel like I have had a pretty good life. I graduated from Towson and got my Masters from Loyola. I taught special ed in Baltimore County for a few years before moving back to Montgomery County where I met my husband of 38 years. Together we have four sons and seven grandchildren. I have had a myriad of jobs and still work part-time, which I enjoy. It's better than cleaning the house! I have always enjoyed knitting, and since I have more time now, I have taken it up again with abandon. I look forward to renewing my acquaintences with my fellow 1964 graduates. I am sure you will recognize me as I still have my bright red hair, and I am happy to say I have passed these genes along to two of my granddaughters.

I'll be in Potomac the week prior for my oldest grandchild's Bat Mitzvah, staying at Congressional Country Club. My daughter's family lives in the District of Columbia and runs a chain of Montessori schools in the District and the Maryland suburbs. I've lived in Palm Beach County, Florida since graduating from college, lured by my golf playing, retired parents. I raised two children, did volunteer work and enjoyed the ambiance of my husband's community banking career. Later, I earned two master's degrees from Florida Atlantic University: History and Mental Health Counseling. I've been in charge of healthcare programs in nearly all aspects of the field, hospital care, managed care, private practice, substance abuse residential treatment, employee assistance, and community mental health for children. It was a lot of fun and very rewarding. My first husband of forty-two years, Joe, passed away eight years ago of leukemia. My current husband, Donn, is a native Floridian, but his career included Board of Directors of MM (Fox) which took him to Washington D.C. at one point, where he was Vice President and General Manager of Channel Five TV (Fox), and lived in Kenwood. Our Florida home has lots of books, a big yard, a cute dog and glorious weather most of the time. I did not inherit my parents' golf addiction, but I do enjoy yoga and tennis. |

Thanks to our WWHS commencement speakers, Sarge Shriver and the three newly returned PCVs he brought with him to share their experiences, I joined the Peace Corps right after college and subsequently embarked on an international development focused career.Variations on that theme included several years on Capitol Hill and a short stint teaching English at WWHS. Primarily though, in addition to Peace Corps Volunteer and staff positions, I worked for the U.S. Agency for International Development and the State Department, retiring just last year. Along the way, came mid-career law school and two great kids, John Jr. age 31 and Chrystine age 26, both educators. Now, hubby John Sr., and I are enjoying retirement activities, including back-yard birding, biking, gardening (me), spending time at Bethany Beach and continuing to learn. Am looking forward to catching up with everyone! |

After Whitman, I was a biology major at U Penn, and worked in Neuroscience research until 1982. I was up to a dissertation proposal in graduate school in NY when many things changed. My daughter Sasha entered the scene; I got divorced from my first husband, and moved back to Bethesda to get a Master’s in Computer Science at American. Loved my second career, which ended in retirement about 5 months ago. About the age that finding a spouse is as common as getting struck by lightning, the perfect one appeared and we have been married for 12 years. We are enjoying 2 grandchildren (Jim’s son’s). Being Mimi is wonderful. Sasha is now a Family and Marriage therapist in San Francisco, and is a delight. I sing in the Washington Hebrew choir, and am spending a lot of time organizing and donating multiple generations of accumulated family possessions. Jim and I are doing a lot of traveling, a long time passion that there is finally enough time to indulge.I’m so sorry that I will miss everyone at the reunion, and am delighted that there will be a Reunion book. |
