Yearbook

Yes! Attending Reunion
Residing In: Raleigh, NC USA
Occupation: Retired but working on developing an etsy business
Spouse/Partner: Divorced
Children: Son Josh works at a clinic that serves autistic children as a BCBA in Raleigh, NC. I'm currently living More…with him since my health issues make living alone risky. He's a wonderful roommate and I've enjoyed watching him flourish, given he was so socially anxious growing up. He has no plans to marry. Daughter, Allison is married and lives about 35 minutes away. After earning a second Masters (MFA in Creative Writing), she had a novel picked up by an agent. It's still being shopped at various publishers. Unfortunately, she has also been diagnosed with Ehlers-Danos Syndrome - Hypermobility so has been severely limited by this relatively unknown disease. If anybody has experience with it and knows of good doctors, please let me know. She still has hopes of giving me a grandbaby but for now, I have to be content spoiling her dog.
Grandchildren:

Does a grand-dog count?

Comments:

I'm currently living in Raleigh with my son since I had complex spine surgery this year and developed issues with orthostatic hypotension (low blood pressure) which causes me to faint. In fact, I fell and broke my ankle a couple of months ago. I spend a lot of time in physical therapy these days but the good news is that I can walk without any assistance and I'm hopeful that as my recovery continues, I will be able to be more independent. I am no longer employed. But I have been doing a lot of paper crafting and am working on developing a business on etsy. I create greeting cards and have a line of dachshund cards (Magical Doxie). Since doxie owners are so obsessed (I speak from experience), I am hopeful there will be interest. Speaking of dachshunds, I lost my other doxie, Eliza but have since adopted a rescue long-haired mini dachshund, Willow. She's my shadow and has been a very loyal, sweet companion during my long recovery. Profile picture shows me on my 69th birthday (pre surgery) with Willow.

School Story:

Sadly, the memories are getting more jumbled as time goes by. With all of the political drama lately, I dug out of nowhere a memory where a school assembly was stormed by a group of protesters in the late 60's...SDS??? Does anybody else recall that or is my overactive imagination doing it's thing?

Classmates You Still See Regularly:

Nobody at this point since I don't visit Cleveland anymore.

Hi Amy. I am deeply sorry for your current health status. I tried to reach you a few times on this site after you wrote to me last year. I did not hear back so no idea if you even received them. I even tried to find you on Spokeo but to no avail. You can call me any time. I would enjoy hearing from you. Cell is 713.503.2876. Leaving tomorrow afternoon for the reunion! You will be missed!

Hi Bill! This is probably not appropriate for posting here but this would be the easiest way to get your attention. I know you and my Dad spent time together after I moved away. If my memory is correct, weren't you with the Forest City at that time? If yes, is there a better way to get in touch with you? If no, I hope you're doing well. I find that I often don't check this site until I get a notification of another classmate's passing. Then, I'm fearful of what I might find if I check in. I'm doing ok. I'll be updating my profile later today, but quickly - I moved to Raleigh, NC in November since both of my kids were in the area. I've been facing some health challenges so moving into an area with better medical support was a priority. I do miss the Myrtle Beach climate, though. I forgot what winter felt like and this is mild compared to a Cleveland winter. I have a new dog - another rescue dachshund. If I could, I'd be a crazy dachshund lady with several of them running around, but for now, one is about all I can manage. Looking forward to hearing from you!

Hi Amy. Long time. Far too long. I still remember the nice time we had at dinner about 37 years ago. I hope that you are well. I was in Kiawah last June and I think I will be back in April or May. Friends here in Houston built a second home there and invite us annually. If you have a chance please say hello to your dad with hopes that he remembers me. I always enjoyed speaking with him. Keep in touch. Bill

Ronnie always sat behind me in homeroom and would frequently tease me or just make me laugh.  He admitted he had a crush on me but we never really dated - just hung out as friends.  We had started emailing each other a couple of years ago, catching up with each other's lives.  We always thought we'd find a way to get together for a visit.  I'm sorry it never took place.  I'll always hold warm memories of him.  My sincerest condolences to his family.  He always described them with so much pride and affection.
