Comment: I am grateful to be living a charmed life. After HS, I attended Skidmore College and headed to the Big Apple, where I worked as a nurse, attended NYU for graduate school, met my beloved husband of 43 years, and taught nursing for years. Retirement takes me back and forth from NYC to Florida. One child lives in each locale. My grandson is teaching me all about lacrosse. I look forward to seeing all of you. Please call me Norma!

Occupation: Physical Therapist

Comment: Looking forward to seeing everyone and catching up! After Shaker I went for 1 year to Southampton College but realized I might want to work with humans rather than sea creatures. Transferred to Springfield College, played soccer and got a BS in health and Physical Ed. Taught at Bethlehem H.S ( sorry rival), worked in a health club and took additional courses to get into MS Physical Therapy Program. Graduated from Columbia University and met my guy David at my first PT job at Helen Hayes Hospital in NY. We got married and quit our jobs to backpack through Europe for 3 months. We landed in Kingston NH after our excursion, got new jobs, a house and welcomed our 2 wonderful daughters. After a few New England, NY moves, including 27 years in Ridgefield Ct, we are 30 mins from one of my daughters and her family in MA. I’m enjoying being somewhat retired and running around after my grandchildren 2-3 days week. Fitting in golfing and spending lots of weekends at our place on Lake George.

Occupation: Retired

Comment: I graduated from Stephens College in Columbia, MO. There I met and married my husband Ken (46 years in July!) and we moved to Houston in 1979. Spent 19 years there and then moved to Allen, TX (just north of Dallas.) In 2003 we moved to Fort Smith, Arkansas and ended up buying a 425 acre ranch an hour west in Oklahoma. Best and worst thing we ever did! Lots of work, but also a beautiful property that our family and friends have been able to enjoy with us.
One son Chris, who currently lives about an hour from us and is a Tech Manager. Looking forward to seeing everyone at the reunion; 49 years since I have been back to the Albany area!
