Went to college at Miami (Oxford) and Ohio State. After teaching for a year, I've worked in the computer field - sales until the mid-90s, programming since then.

| Share an embarrassing moment or a prank that was played on someone else or on you...: | Band practice, in the little theatre. I snuck up behind the tuba section and started throwing fake snow above Dennis Miller and the tubas. Dennis belches his tuba so loud that Mr Watson has to stop to yell. He sees the snow, waits several seconds in silence, figures it out, yells at me, and I get in big trouble. |

| Occupation: | retired |
| Comment: | Not surprisingly, I pursued music for a good long time, studying classical and jazz flute and piano, teaching privately and occasionally performing. But at 35, I gave it all up for writing. Some radio gigs followed, as well as scholarly essay-writing for reference books--all the while slaving away on short and long fiction projects. Now I'm wrestling with a memoir about coping with MS--and I think the book is winning. Oy. Since I'm an old hand at the MS thing now, I spend a good deal of my day supporting others who have MS, doing research, and sharing my knowledge of therapies and symptom management with the newbies. The reunion will be such a hoot. I can't wait to see my old buds again: Schmitt, Mannik, Zuelke, Schafstall, Amidon, Bode, Becker, Friesner, Bergmann, Micham, and, uh---I'm having a junior moment--I know there were more!? See y'all there! You know who you are! |
| What would your friends be the most surprised to know about you now?: | I developed Multiple Sclerosis at age 41. |
| Share a favorite memory -- something that made you laugh or cry or feel pride in your school...share: | The music program was, of course, second to none. Louis Davis prepared me well to study music in college. |
| Who was your favorite teacher?: | Louis Davis, naturally! |
| Share an embarrassing moment or a prank that was played on someone else or on you...: | My sixteenth birthday party was the most memorable, hands down! It was raining that night; Tammy Amidon and Linda Bode were helping me transport the cake and supplies from our townhouse to the community center for the party. Bode slipped on the wet concrete and dropped the cake on the sidewalk--after which Amidon promptly broke into a rousing rendition of "MacArthur Park"..."someone left the cake out in the rain..." My sister, Dana, cussing at Bode for ruining the cake she'd baked for me while Amidon is singing "I don't think that I can take it/cuz it took so long to bake it/and I'll never have that recipe aga-a-a-i-n..." I know, I know, you had to be there--but it's still hilarious after all these years! |
