What have you been up to since you graduated from OHS?

I retired from Duke Clinical Research Institute in 2011 where I managed and monitored clinical trials for the pharmaceutical industry. Living on my idyllic horse farm in Cary, NC was like having a mini vacation every day but progress came so I have a new home in the woods of Chatham County further out in the country.
During my working years I was lucky to have been able to travel the world and live in Austria and Germany. I still love to travel and am a nature/travel photographer. After retirement, I've been to India, Mongolia, Alaska, Africa 3 times, the western US many times as well as Florida, Ecuador, Chile,..planning to go to Costa Rica, Bolivia, Borneo and Africa (again) in 2022 if Covid permits and my ancient body holds up.
You can also see more about me on Facebook where I add lots of my photographs every week and also at https://melissatheil.smugmug. com
I also keep busy with cat rescue, going on local photo shoots, giving (Zoom mostly these days) talks to local camera clubs, creating, judging and competing in Photocrowd.com photography contests. I know some of you live in North Carolina - let's have a mini-reunion.

What's your favorite OHS memory?

One of the nicest dances I went to at OHS was the Senior Prom

Always one of the brightest kids in the class, I remember knowing Joel starting in the 6th grade at school #8. I must say I was jealous of his math ability. I remember Mr. Bashner, too, and it is hard to imagine that he did not recommend Joel for Cooper Union. Joel was destined to do well there. I send my sympathy and deep condolences to his family.

I finally got to read your reunion story. Great work! If you ever come east from Hendersonville, come visit me in Apex, just west of Raleigh. Thanks for the BD wishes!
