UPDATE: 2024 Since the 40th reunion in 2019 I have retired from a 20 year career with Pampered Chef! My husband and I travel more including family trips -- will have been on an Alaskan cruise in June 2024 just before the 45th reunion. 10 assorted family members will be on this adventure together including our two adult children and our two grandchildren (8 & 6). We also have a BMW Z4 Roadster that we tool around in on weekends and with various car groups. I still love to read, garden, cook AND organize! In addition to helping with the reunion committee, I coordinate a few vendor events in Clarkston each year as well as fundraiser activities for a few other groups I am involved in. To have a regular focus after retirement - but with a lot of flexibility - I joined my daughter and we now share a Poshmark "Closet", basically a social media resellers page much like eBay offers. Our closet keeps me busy and brings me fun and joy - which is what I was looking for in retirement! I am very fortunate that those two precious grandkids live literally around the block from us -- our backyards actually intersect -- in the Clarkston Heights.. I am an involved grandma and love watching the kiddos grow. Another highlight since 2019 was the full renovation of our kitchen. Tom and I now have a dream kitchen....and one of our first parties in that space was when we hosted classmate Paige Gardner Nicholas and her husband, Steve, when they visited the Valley in 2022. We had a wonderful mini class reunion that night! Great fun. Thrilled to be seeing many more of you at this 45th Reunion!

For the past 30 years, I've been living in Chicago.  Don't believe everything that you read. As GM for Athenaeum Theatre Productions, I run a 4 stage performing arts center on the north side of Chicago. We have 3 studio theatres, rehearsal halls, office space for a dozen NFP arts organizations and a 1000 seat main stage where all of the really cool stuff happens: Neutral Milk Hotel, Todd Rundgren, Graham Nash, Lindsey Buckinghame, Billy Corgan, Kishi Bashi, Aimee Mann, Chelsea Handler, Onion Comedy Fest, Chicago Podcast Fest. Remember YAC? Everything old is new again. Still negotiating and booking acts. I'm afraid memory loss is catching up with me, so please don't be offended if I don't remember a Toga Party or what we did down at the river. Big toothy Grin.
