Comment: After graduation, I found my way to the classroom and gymnasium where I taught and coached volleyball; first at a boarding school and then at several colleges across the northeast.

In spite of a good deal of success (including a trip to the NCAA tournament) there came a time to change course and take off the sneakers.

My next chapter included entering SU’s Teaching & Leadership doctoral program where I worked with student teachers and completed my coursework.

With a dissertation in the oven, I went to Cape Cod to write and found dozens of wonderful distractions. I was hired to write grants and raise funds (and roofs) for Habitat for Humanity and Head Start.

It’s hard to believe I’ve been living on Cape Cod for over twenty years. These days, I enjoy lots of beach walks and volunteering here and there. I’m looking forward to seeing many old friends this summer.
Two Truths and a Lie - Tell us three things you've done since graduation ... but ONE of which is a LIE! At our dinner party your old friends and classmates will have fun guessing which one is the lie: 1. The only road race I ever officially ran was the Boston Marathon.

2. I taught myself to knit and play the ukulele.

3. I attended Derek Jeter’s final game and induction to the Hall of Fame.



So, #2 is the fib and maybe a goal for our 60th reunion…

Occupation: Administrative Assistant
Comment: For the last 18 ½ years, I have worked at Central Piedmont Community College in Charlotte, NC, currently as the Assistant to the Associate Vice President of Student Affairs. I love what I do and enjoy the people I work with, which is why I haven’t retired yet. Almost 20 years ago, I met my soon-to-be second husband. I have 3 children (living in Boston, MA, Indianapolis, IN, Sacramento, CA), 3 step children (living in Auburn, NY and Greensboro, NC), 2 grandchildren and 2 step grandchildren. Since graduation, I’ve held several different jobs, ranging from retail, pharmacy technician, insurance agent, administrative assistant, bookkeeper and wine consultant. We have 3 antique cars: 1947 Ford, 1941 Ford and 1968 Ford Torino GT convertible and enjoy taking day trips around the area. I’ve moved 12 times between NY, FL, NJ and NC. We live in a small town about 30 miles outside of Charlotte, NC on almost 5 acres of land. We cut trees and primarily heat our house in the winter by a wood stove. Sounds very rustic, but it isn’t, really (Walmart is only 8 miles away)! We’re excited to hear there will be a Wegmans opening in Charlotte in a couple years, so the place is getting more like home.
Two Truths and a Lie - Tell us three things you've done since graduation ... but ONE of which is a LIE! At our dinner party your old friends and classmates will have fun guessing which one is the lie: While working retail, a customer tried to purchase something with a stolen credit card. When I called the bank for an authorization number, the customer became impatient. He pinned me to the wall in the effort to get the stolen card back. Meanwhile, the security guards and police showed, there was a struggle, the customer knocked the gun from the police holster and ripped the phone out of the wall. Police finally was able to get the guy in handcuffs and take him off to jail. I pressed charges and got $50 for retrieving the stolen credit card. THIS IS TRUE!


While camping in the Adirondacks, I heard our cooler being dragged down a path in the woods in the middle of the night. Not thinking, and not having my contacts or eyeglasses on, I came out of the tent and ran down the path to confront what I thought was another camper stealing our food. I got a few feet from the thief, and stopped dead in my tracks. It was a bear taking our cooler. It was so dark, I could only smell his breath and see a dark outline of his body. He took off, I grabbed the cooler and locked it in the trunk of the car and went back to bed. In the morning we found out he only got the bag of Milky Way bars from the top of the food in the cooler. THIS IS TRUE!


Another time while camping, we decided to go on a hike before dinner with the kids. We took the wrong path, and found ourselves completely lost. No one around to ask for help, we attempted to make our way back the way we came, but that seemed to make matters even worse. It was getting dark, and we had to come to the realization that we just may have no choice but to find shelter for the night and try again in the morning. We took a break, settled our nerves down for several minutes, and tried again. By now it was very dark, but somehow, we found the right path and finally made our way back to our tent before midnight. THIS IS A LIE!

At our dinner party your old friends and classmates will have fun guessing which one is the lie: #1 I've hiked/climbed all 48 of the 4000' mountains in New Hampshire. NOT TRUE.

I worked as a statistical applications programmer at UMass Lowell for several years. I analyzed large datasets for several epidemiologists and once got an acknowledgement for being the number cruncher. WooHoo!!

Comment: Since high school in Cazenovia, I have lived in London, Ontario, Canada and Honeoye Falls, NY and Minnetonka, MN and Bala Cynwyd, PA. As you can see, my criteria for a place to live is difficult to spell and impossible to pronounce!

I have raised three sons and live to talk about it. The oldest two have followed in their father's footsteps and become professors. The youngest has a degree in business management and has a REAL job!

I currently spend most of my time trying to learn how to play bridge, leading my book group, sitting on my local library board, and most fun of all, paddling on my dragon boat team. My team is called the Golden Warriors because we're all....you know...old! We are going to compete in the World Club Crew Championships in Italy in September.
Two Truths and a Lie - Tell us three things you've done since graduation ... but ONE of which is a LIE! At our dinner party your old friends and classmates will have fun guessing which one is the lie: 1. I've done quite a bit of SCUBA diving and love it!
2. I have a good friend who runs a skydiving school and, even though I hate heights, he convinced me to try it. Never again!
3. I've broken every toe but one...some more than once!

Well, if you know me at all, you know the lie is #2! I hate heights (unlike Mateo I would NEVER go up the CN tower!!) so, never, ever, ever go skydiving! SCUBA is great and, since I hate shoes….have had literally dozens of broken toes! (Also, apparently, a big klutz! lol)

Two Truths and a Lie - Tell us three things you've done since graduation ... but ONE of which is a LIE! At our dinner party your old friends and classmates will have fun guessing which one is the lie: -In the fall of 1974, as I was waiting for a connecting flight to Bordeaux in a Paris airport (embarking on my year as a Rotary Club exchange student in France), a man seated across from me asked me if I knew who he was. I didn’t recognize him. He told me that his name was George Romero (and I still couldn't place him.) It wasn't until a year later, when I was back in the States at St. Lawrence University watching the credits for a little movie called Night of the Living Dead, that I found out who he was. It turns out that George Romero was the director of the film, and the man that I had met a year earlier in the airport!

-On January 15th of 1987, I became a born-again Christian. Best decision I have ever made!

-In 2011, during the first of two extended stays in Ghana, West Africa, I wrote a series of five feature articles about the Peace Corps for The Heritage, Ghana's national newspaper. It turns out that 2011 was the 50th anniversary of the Peace Corps. It was a wonderful experience and I learned all about the Peace Corps, something I had known little or nothing about!

Two Truths and a Lie - Tell us three things you've done since graduation ... but ONE of which is a LIE! At our dinner party your old friends and classmates will have fun guessing which one is the lie: I had a drink with Al D’Amato in the Hotel Syracuse, and he ended the night singing Italian songs in the lobby bar. This is not ture. It was Hugh Carry singing Irish songs though I have met Al D'Amato in a bar in Albany.

I met two future Presidents when I was a college student in the 1970s. Jimmy Carter and Joe Biden.

I met BB King on his bus after a concert at the Landmark Theater in Syracuse where he entertained us with stories of Mississippi.
