Where have you been? and what have you been doing? - - - family, school, career, pastimes, good times, etc.

Attended Indiana University as a Piano Performance major; met my "college sweetheart" who played on the IU Golf Team; we later married and raised our 2 sons in Bloomington. I was fortunate to be a stay home mom and dedicated my time to volunteering to the boys activities and community organizations. I also taught piano for several years.

favorite high school memory

A terrific group of intelligent, talented and genuine people we referred to as classmates. What a great class we were!

unique achievement

April 15, 1966: All City Band Performance at St. Johns Arena to which more than several EHS talented musicians were selected to play. I was fortunate to be selected as the piano soloist for a performance of Gershwin's "Rhapsody In Blue." Classmate, Jack Rickley, played the noted clarinet solo.

standout event

Later in life I was employed by the PGA of America in Port St. Lucie, FL as Golf School Coordinator. It gave me the opportunity to work with national and international golfers. Working with young golfers and their coaches from Russia was interesting. I finished my career at PGA National Resort and Spa in Palm Beach Gardens, FL as Golf School Coordinator for the David Ledbetter program.

You’ve come a long way in 55 years. Where are you going in the next five years?

I look forward to making more memories with children, grandchildren and friends.
