Fifty years, holy cow, that's a long time!!! We must be old! I am trying to get to the reunion but it will be a last minute decision, In case I don't make it, here is what I can remember of those last 50 years.

After graduation, I went to The University of New Hampshire, spent the summer after my Jr, year running around Europe, that was fun, and graduated with a Bachelors of Science in Biochemistry. I then went to work at Harvard University. In Sept. of 1969 my mother fixed me up on a blind date with Phil. Phil was a prof at Northeastern University. We were married on March 7,1970. We have two children, Jennifer born in 1972 and Tim born in 1975. I received a Masters of Clinical Chemistry from Northeastern in 1978 and the next day we moved to Huntington, West Virginia, where Phil became the Dean of Education at Marshall U. After five years we moved to Sylvania, Ohio and Phil became Dean of ED at the University of Toledo. We live there for 16 years. Alas, the climate did not suit us sooo we moved to Northridge, CA where Phil became Dean of ED at Cal State Northridge. The move came a month after our daughter who was a high school English teacher, was married to John, the lead guitarist for "Sugar Buzz." I'd never heard of them either. Two years to the day after we moved, Jen and John joined us in CA. They both went back to school and now Jen is Program Director of a family counseling center and John is a post production sound recording engineer. They have a little boy, Zac, who will be 4 in 2 weeks. In the mean time, our son graduated from law school, went to work in NYC and met
