I spent Freshman year at Univ. of Cincinnati. After the Kent incident I moved back home and worked and went to Cleveland State U. In 1973 I went to Europe, Greece and Israel (for the 25th anniversary) I backpacked 11 countries and worked on a kibbutz for 4 months.
Upon return I wound up working in the jewelry business for Rose Jewelers (remember the store with the clock on the floor at Richmond Mall?) which eventually became part of Zales.
Then I worked for J.B.Robinson at their main office in downtown Cleveland for several years, until they were absorbed by Kay Jewelers.
I worked for Dicker & Dicker for another 9 or 10 years until by husband Mike died.
For the next 5 or so years I was a professional closet organizer and home office designer. Great job.
I married my second husband, Jeff, in 2001. It lasted a minute!!!
I now live in N.C. with Fred Rice, who graduated a year behind us. I met him the summer I graduated. We were hot and heavy for about ten days until I left for college. Freshman year we wrote weekly and kept it going long distance for the whole time. We split because of political and religious differences but we've kept in touch. He is an ex marine and a retired fire fighter.
Wait'll you see the 1965 mustang he is refurbishing. We should have it at the reunion.
Here in N.C. I found a job selling . . .you guessed it - fine Jewelry at a company called Reeds. I run into Ohioans all the time since I live in Jacksonville, home of Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune. People here call me Ma'am. (are they speaking to my mother?)
My folks are both still around, living in their home in Shaker. They are in fairly good health but getting fragile.
My brother, Dave and his wife Laura live in Lyndhurst. Dave runs a repair business called "A Fine Fix" as well a being a published song writer and performer.
My daughter, Kim, is 26. She lives in Charleston S.C. and manages a jewelry store. (imagine that!)
She has a great circle of friends who include me in their antics when I visit. She is waiting to announce her engagment to Andrew Miglino, who will be starting on his PHD in February. He's from New York, an environmental engineer.
