I'd love to be there and will do my best to make it as long as I'm still looking at the green side of things. I've been back in Florida now since 2001 after almost 15 years in upstate NY, but August in Pittsburgh ought to still be warm enough - at least it shouldn't snow yet, if I recall correctly. ...what a long, strange trip it has been. - level best - Andrew H.

Comment:
Worked as a mineral economist for 15 years, then a college professor. Moved to Virginia in early 1980's and live on the family farm. Since 1990 have worked full time with my wife, artist and calligrapher Susan Loy. We exhibit Literary Calligraphy art prints and stationery all over the eastern United States - including the Three Rivers Arts Festival. I remember going there with Sandi Adamson & Co. back in high school. I saw Fred Fox at an art show in Georgia last September, who gave my name to Cheryl. I still enjoy music as my hobby and fondly remember the USC quartet that late morphed into the Wix. I hope to attend the reunion, unless we get accepted into the Mt. Gretna Art Festival.

Currently, I am a Graphic Designer for the Port Authority of Allegheny County. My designs are on the buses and trolleys of Pittsburgh.

2006 Entry:

How does one begin to relate 41 years of one’s life in a few brief sentences? Well, here goes: After high school I attended Ohio University where I majored in Journalism and Interior Design. Then I worked as a news editor for a local newspaper, and soon thereafter, became an international stewardess for TWA, living in New York City. I married a few years later. Since then, I have lived in many places and have held many interesting jobs, the best of which is being the mother of a son. He is currently attending Northwestern University as a film major, and hopes to become a film director or editor one day. Presently, I am divorced, living in St. Petersburg, FL, near my favorite beach on earth, working on a book I hope to have published, traveling the world, and enjoying life. I am hoping to attend the reunion in August and look forward to seeing all of you there.

 Hi classmates!  Sorry I will not be coming to the 50th-year reunion this week-end.  Presently, I am in Toronto for The Toronto Film Festival with my son, Christian, who works for the BBC in New York City.  In a few days we will be leaving for a road trip through parts of Canada, inluding Montreal.  Our first stop: the Canadian Niagara Falls, which I hear is sensational.  Can hardly wait!  Have fun at the reunion!  I'll be thinking of you this week-end!

I'm still living in Pittsburgh in Mt. Lebanon and after 13 years I decided I needed to work full time . I am presently working downtown in a men's clothing store which has been a wonderful experience. I have 3 "wonderful" children that are very successful. My boys are married to two lovely daughter-in-laws and both are living here in Pittsburgh and my daughter lives in San Diego, CA.  I have 4 grandchildren an another on the way... which takes up alot of my time. Looking forward to seeing everyone at the reunion.

WHAT? 50 Years?? How'd that happen?? 2015 Update from graduation to~ Duff's Business College, then married high school sweetheart, who was drafted into the US Navy, we were stationed in Taipei, Taiwan for two years 1968-70.  Total growing experience, with 1 1/2 yr old and new baby born in a 3rd world country! Then back to USC, I was a Mom and homemaker, married over 16 years with 3 children. In '81 I was working as a seamtress, had a house cleaning service, plus employed as assistant manager and exercise instructor at Brookside Racquet Club, where I met the love of my life, Don Bradley.  Within a year I was divorced and remarried (1982).  After a year in USC, we moved to a beautiful lake in Troy, MI.  I had an Interior Design Business and did Professional Modeling.  In 1989, we moved north of San Diego, to Vista, CA, 17 years in our first CA home and 8 years in our present Vista, CA home. I became an ordained minister (Non-denominatonal) in 1993, and received my counseling degree in 1995. I've done tours from coast to coast and internationally, facilitating and doing speaking engagements- but that seems like another lifetime ago. The past 11 years I've been the CFO/Secretary, tax expert for Coating Solutions INC, the corporation my husband started, our son (the baby born in Taipei, who's 45 now) joined the company.  Two children and 5 grandkids live close by, and we do lots of fun stuff together.  The cool thing about being a minister is that I have written and performed wedding ceremonies for our daughter, and most recently for our granddaughter (9/14)!  We have 19 grandchildren, and may be adding two more (our son is dating a divorcee)!  My comments from the 40th reunion said we play racquetball 3 times a week- well, not so much, we play once a week now- but atleast I'm still playing!  Best of all we play doubles with our son and grandson (Let the younger ones do most of the running)- fantastic exercise, it's especially exciting when 'Grandma' wins!  We have family in South Hills, so we get to Pittsburgh once a year (college graduations May 2015).  Just did a 17 day tour to China, 10/14- YEA! I made it to the top of the Great Wall, but almost didn't survive the food!  There's always an annual travel adventure, probably Italy this year.  I will keep the reunion date open and hope to-  'See You in September'!  (Remember that Oldy but Goody?) This is probably more than you wanted to know- but heck- it has been 50 years and ~ I left a lot out!  #Heart#LOL#???!!!
