Sorry I can't be at the reunion-I know it would be great fun and such a kick to catch up with everyone. Just some quick information....After graduation in 1971, David Tompkins and I were married for a total of 10 years. We had a beautiful daughter (Ashley) who now lives in Hudson, Ohio with her husband Chris and 4 children....yes, I am a grandmother!! I have always stayed in "the business" doing voice overs, commercials and industrial films in the Pittsburgh market, but having a child to raise and a new husband in 1987, the live theatre had to take a back seat while I worked full time to support and raise Ashley. My jobs were with TeleCheck, then PNC Bank and finally at American Express-always in sales. My husband (Jack) is a former FBI agent who also has a daughter (Melissa). She and her husband Rob gave us a beautiful new granddaughter on July 3. I retired from American Express 2 years ago and worked part time with a business school going to high schools on their behalf to talk to juniors and seniors about further education. I am back in acting classes with someone many of you will recognize-Jill (Cislon) Wadsworth and loving every minute. I am also auditioning when I can and am anxious to get back on stage. I wish everyone well and hope all are happy and healthy!
