More Information


Occupation: Homemaker - (Court reporter before kids)

The boys are definitely the most exciting thing that has happened to me since graduating MCS.

I would say Mrs. Herrick and Mrs. Jacobson had the biggest impact on me.

Excerpt of e-mail to Cliff, May 23, 2002:

...After leaving WNB I went to work at SUNY/Oneonta in the Health Center and later the library. In '78 I moved to Ft. Lauderdale to go to school for court reporting. Thought it might fun to go where the suns shines a bit, especially since the winter days could b so gray and dismal at times. I always thought I'd move back North after school, but got a job court reporting, later married and here I am! My husband and I figure we'll move north when we retire! I really miss the seasons, hills and trees. It took a couple years to really 'feel' and enjoy the seasons down here, but they do exist!

I have really enjoyed reading about your family on your website, Cliff. Your little Andrew is adorable. But then again, what baby isn't?! (No offense!) We too have an Andrew in our family, our youngest, age 9. He was born not even a month after Hurricane Andrew struck South Florida in '92, but we had picked the name out long before the storm was brewing.

I was hoping we could make it to the reunion afterall, but it's a definite no for us... My father-in-law is 88 and we promised him last year we would move him once the boys were out of school this year which is reunion time. So we will be somewhere between St. Louis and CA that weekend! My husband is an only child so duty calls!

...I know we will be missing out but hope to hear all about it from a few! I want to thank you for all your hard work putting this together. For those of us who can't make it, we have the opportunity to read an update thanks to the website. This took a lot of time and effort - not to mention patience - a real virtue, especially in a family man. It's been a ball to go into and see what everyone is up to. You and Roger did such a great job. Thanks to both of you!!
(You're most welcome, Hon, it's been our pleasure to do this!)

Should you ever venture south, give a holler. You would enjoy my husband, he too had a passion for horses, but gave it up. S. FL is not really conducive to raising horses. Central FL is anohter story. Beautiful horse country, probably nothing compared to the mountains of CO, but not bad!
