Comment:

After graduating from Miami University, I spent two years in Rochester, NY and Harrisburg, PA. before moving to Cincinnati where I have lived for 19 years.  My husband Harry and I have two boys Bill and Daniel.  Bill is a rising junior at Dartmouth College where he is a member of the Dartmouth tennis team.  Daniel will head off to Duke University this fall as a Robertson Scholar.  Daniel is a five year survivor of Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia.  We are blessed that he responded so well to the treatments.  Life was certainly put into perspective these past five years. 



I returned to work for Karl Storz Endoscopy   after a seven year retirement.  I am a Marketing Manager & Corporate Liason working for KSEA at Ethicon Endo-Surgery.  (any surgeons or OR nurses out there?) It was life saving to return to work after enduring all the chemotherapiy and hospital stays with my son. 



I am blessed that both my parents are still living in their house on Indian Trail, and my sister Julie (class of '73) lives in the Dayton area just 45 minutes away.  Sheryl Heuerman Weiner, Hillview Elementary, Arbor Hills Junior High, Sylvania HS, and Miami U friend lives in Cincinnati just 10 minutes away!



I have been fortunate to travel quite a bit, and we now own a townhouse right on the beach in Siesta Key,FL.  We enjoy our time on the beach, and try to get down there as often as we can.

Comment: I'm looking forward to renewing old friendships and making new ones with people I didn't get to know as well at SHS.  Old high school friends are the best kind of friends because they have seen you at your most awkward and silliest moments and they still like you!

After high school, I received my bachelor's at the University of Toledo and my master's at the University of Michigan. I married my wonderful husband, Shin, in '86 and we have two great sons, ages 16 and 11. I am a maternal and infant nutritionist/registered dietitian in Pontiac.  Shin is a quality manager at Bosch.  Our children's activities take up quite a bit of time, but we do like to sail, ski, and travel whenever possible.  Lately, we  have been taking a salsa dance class! 

As I reflect on the past 35 years, I feel that while my everyday life is ordinary, I have extraordinary people in my life and that keeps things interesting!  
What would your friends be the most surprised to know about you now?: I really love skiing now. I was afraid to join the Ski Club in high school because I was afraid that I would fall and break a leg!
Share a favorite memory -- something that made you laugh or cry or feel pride in your school...share: I really enjoyed listening to the pep band play at all the basketball games...I remember cruising (uh...surveillance) with Gayle, Debbie, Holly and others in Gayle's Pinto.
Who was your favorite teacher?: I liked all of my teachers, especially Ms. Graber, Mr. Hogan and Ms. Hudson.
Share an embarrassing moment or a prank that was played on someone else or on you...: One time we had a substitute teacher in phys. ed. class and Sandy Cummins and I pretended that we were from the Soviet Union and could only speak broken English with a heavy Russian accent!

Comment:

Would love to see my favorite friends: Joanne, Linda, Sally, Patti, Kim, Jay, Jeff, and many more ... I know that you are not all here, but wouldn't  it be great to see each other now? 

I have had a full life, many careers and experiences.  I am recently working as an art teacher in an elementary school.  My husband is known as Mr. Wonderful.  No kids (but always a dog in the house hold) and I no longer weigh 110 lbs. but I still look pretty good. We have relocated to Sylvania and are loving every minute of it.  It has been really hard watching the tear-down of the Burnham building.  Really, I think I could hear it groaning as it went down.
What would your friends be the most surprised to know about you now?: Not so surprising...I think my husband and I may have set the World's Record for dating at 24 years...then we tied the knot. For many years, we lived five blocks away from one another.
Who was your favorite teacher?: Going way back..Barbara Urbain or Mr. Jung, or Mr. Gilhooly...or was it Mr. Garcia, yes, he was the best-magnifico!
