Thanks!  It is wonderful to have this great website for our class of '73!  After UD, I went to Millersville U and became a Special  Education Teacher.  At MU, I  met my husband Chuck and we have been in the Lancaster area ever since. Chuck is a Residential Program Supervisor for Community Services Group.  We have 2 handsome sons.  This picture is at our youngest son Johnathan's HS graduation.  He is now at PSU Main Campus studying Architectural Engineering.  Our oldest son Charlie is married to our sweet daughter-in-law, Missy. They bought a home only 30 minutes away! He attended the Art Institute of Philadelphia and is an Industrial Product Designer.  Both of our sons played soccer year round for years so much of the last 36 years has been spent as a "soccer mom" but I would not trade a minute of it!!  I took off many years to be home with my sons and became "Cupcake the Clown" doing magic shows for birthday parties.  Now, I am back to teaching and presenting strategy workshops for teachers.  My husband Chuck and I have an older home and a big yard so we are often busy with home projects.  We enjoy taking vacations to the beach and visiting our family!

2023:  Jim and I moved to the Chicago suburbs in 2016 and are now 5 minutes from the grands. It's been my dream to be part of their day-to-day, and so I'm a happy camper.  I've been involved in Arts Management for 30 years and currently serve as the Director of the St. Charles Arts Council.  I'm lucky to love my job! Happy to report that my high school friends remain my safety zone. I look forward to seeing everyone in September!

2012:  Hasn't time flown by! My husband, Jim, and I have been in Michigan since 1980. We have three children (ages 24, 22 and 16).  Luckily my circle of friends includes several high school friends who can still make me laugh like a kid when we're together!

Reading the blurbs from classmates made me smile.  I feel lucky to have grown up with people that I still enjoy hearing from.

Nice job on the web site.

I have been extremely busy the past 50 years.  I have been working as an  Executive Assistant.   I also have had the pleasure of serving on the Board of Directors of several non-profit organizations, including the Board of the Second Alarmers Rescue Squad for almost 40 years.  Both my husband and I are Life Active members of the Second Alarmers and between the two of us, we have almost 100 years of service.  We currently have three children and five grandchildren. 

I usually don’t do this sort of thing, but I want to respect the effort that has been made to provide this opportunity for everyone  -  thank you!    

My path has been the typical one.  Following graduation from Penn State, I got married, designed houses, completed grad school, traveled, had children, built businesses, taught college and basically succeeded well enough at everything but being happily married - so I bowed out gracefully and haven't tried it since, although I do have a special guy who may convince me to change my mind one of these days.

For the past fifteen years I’ve been happily raising my kids in Radnor and building a career.  My son and daughter have thankfully survived my quirky parenting style and have grown into people I like as well as love. 

My old friends are my best friends, and I don’t know where I would be without them to laugh with and share the ups and downs in our lives.

Professionally, I am a college administrator and adjunct professor.

Thanks for getting this site together, I don't remember alot of people(only at UD for 2 years) but each time i visit the site more and  more memories appear. Good Luck and Good Health to All.

I moved back to the area after being gone for 24 years.  I had lived in the San Francisco Bay area and Southeastern Virginia. I am currently working in the justice system and find it very rewarding.  I volunteer with organizations concerned with juvenile justice and the International Lions. I currently have two kids that are of the furry persuasion - beautiful Goldens.  Life is great! 

I wish I could fly home for the event, but will be here in Kenya.  I welcome hearing from old friends and am enjoying reading about all of you!  

A brief update: 
married for 32 years, 
4 kids spread out between ages 30 and 14,
moved to Uganda in '85, 
living in Kenya for 10 years, 
presently working as a nurse with children and families in the slums of Nairobi and in the displaced peoples camps which were set up in January this year after post-election violence displaced 500,000 Kenyans. 
I'm excited about my daughter's wedding this summer in Fort Washington, and enjoying the last child at home who is a delightful teen boy, a leukemia cancer servivor. 

The website is GREAT! 
I ended up marrying a football player from Upper Moreland in 74' Which means this fall I've been married to the same guy for 35 years! What was I thinking? My husband and I have two boys, 32 and 28. Both are married and my oldest had a beautiful baby boy, Shane, a little over a year ago (see now photo). I'm a Grandmom and I love it. I wish I could list some great careers that I've enjoyed but I can't. I did this and that for the last 36 years. Worked as the Athletic Secretary for CBWest HS for about 9 years. Now, I work in local government. I'm planning on working until I'm 80 so maybe between now and then I'll find my "niche". Sorry to say I can't make the reunion. I'll be in Houston that week, but I'm sure it will be a huge success and tons of fun. Thanks Hope, Bev and Seth.

My husband of 46 years, Derek (UD Class '72) and I settled in Potomac, Maryland just outside of Wash. DC.  I am a realtor in MD, DC, VA and PA.  Derek owns and operates our family satellite communications company in Bethesda, MD - Derek is a brilliant scientist & engineer mastermind.  He has offices all over the world.

We have 3 sons, 45, 37 and 30 years old  Ironically, I actually met Derek in 10th grade at UD and have been friends ever since.  We now have 8 grands. 

Derek and I stay busy with work, family, travel, gardening, golf, and walking our dog, Cassius Clay.

Headed to Villanova after my time at UD (Rollie's first year as well, so we turned around Nova hoops back then!).  Spent 10 years at Unisys and then Compaq (now HP) recruited me to Houston, TX.  Been down here for 15 years.  Got my Masters at Ga. Tech and have been in the computer industry forever.  Currently run the Hard Drive business for HP. Married to my wife Marie for 23 yrs.  Two daughters, Kristina 19, who just finished her Freshman year at Baylor and Colleen 17, a Jr. in HS.  I tell people I only live in TX, because it's too far to drive!  Still a Nova/Big 5 Hoops fan as well as Eagles and Phillies fan.  Most of Marie and my family are still in the Philly area, so try to get back at the holidays and usually rent a place for week in Stone Harbor in the summer to get out of the Texas heat.  Not sure I will be able to make a reunion, with my schedule, but good to hear about all of you!

Hello all,
I've been teaching in Cheltenham since college graduation.  Most of my career has been spent in 1st grade.  I have been married to Skip (Don) Cashore (also UD '73) for 29 years.  I appreciate all the organization for this event!   Looking forward to contacting long lost friends!!
