There are a number of things that come to mind:

#1 - NE Rocket football games
#2 - Endless hours in Mr. Blue's journalism classes and work on the yearbook
#3 - Friends: Patsy Hart, Judy Smith, Rene Broman, Barb Schulenberg, Mark Schwaniger, Renee Rhodes, Gary Klum,
#4 - People that I were in every class with me since kindergarten through seniors at Northeast: Robin Daharsh and Bob DePriest
#3 - Nesha Schuman's English class

#1 - Walking down "jock hall"
#2 - French classes
#3 - The spanking Jim Moeller gave me with the help of Peggy Lowe - preserved in a photo on page 45 of the yearbook...thank you very much!

What I've done that I've told myself I'd never to is to forget...enough said!

"We all have dreams of what we might have been. But it is better to be happy with whatever gifts we do possess - and use them to the fullest."

--Gladys Taber, as quoted in the 1975 Rocket Yearbook

Not much, I don't think.

Gardening, friends, family - Roger's two grandsons, and trying to find something about life to enjoy every day.

Jazz, blues and soul - Miles Davis, John Coltrane, Aretha Franklin, Billie Holiday, Stevie Ray Vaughn

Since graduation, I've been finding my way through life. I still have a passion for communications and that has and will continue to drive my professional life. Hopefully, I'll finally get a book written and published, but so far I haven't been able to come up with the story yet. I've continued to "do" a lot; but now I am becoming more interested in just being - being happy, having fun, and enjoying life.

Nothing specific...I just have a great feeling when I pull out the yearbook or catch up with everyone on Facebook.

The last belly laugh was the last time I did something really clumsy; luckily, I do that quite often!

Some of the most interesting people are not famous or even well known. Some of the famous people I have met: Gordon Parks, one of this country's treasured photographers, and the first black film directors; Jay Leno - met through my stepmother; international poet David Whyte; and historian Jon Meacham.
