Wow, this is a difficult question to answer briefly, but I'll try. Gibson County, Indiana, has been my home since 1982. I've been single since 2001, which is interesting when you're forty-something. I went to college at WVC (for my AA & AS degrees) & USI (both for my BA in Accounting & for my MBA (which I started in January 1994 only to have a baby when I has 2 classes done). Many of you already know that my mom died back in 1990 & is buried at Albion. (Thanks, Cristal & Teresa (class of 78), for coming to the funeral visitation.) I have traveled a lot off and on (many of you who went to grade school with me may remember I had lived in Indiana, Illinois, California & Texas before ending up in AGS in August 1969 as the new kid in Mrs. Kieser's 3rd grade class). At the turn of the century, I was working as an auditor and got to travel to several places near the East Coast. I was in Bayonne, NJ, (within site of lower Manhattan) working when 9/11 happened & I have been on the stretch of the Hudson River which the recent US Airways flight used as an emergency runway. My favorite city in the US is Seattle, WA, (I wish I had realized we had classsmates there - I've been about 4 or 5 times). I still have 13 of the 50 states left to visit and it's one of my Bucket List items to check off. I still have some involvement in music, although I haven't played my oboe in several years. Many of you will be amazed to know that during my married years I actually learned how to drive a tractor and even how to turn hay (although it's been years now since I did either one). I attend an ELCA Lutheran church (Our Savior here in Princeton) which I absolutely love. I was saddened to see that Lori Orr is no longer with us. I hadn't talked to her in years, but remember running into her in Evansville back in the mid to late 1980's. As more things occur to me, I'll try to update this, but Peace of the Lord be with you all. Cheryl

Oh, there are lots of these. I remember sitting in freshman Biology which was sooooo boring I used to read a book to stay awake while Mr. Abenrothe was lecturing. (I still remember the monotone he talked in.) Cristal Stennet was my lab partner and I remember her laughing at me later on one day because apparently I was so absorbed in my book that he called on me in class & I didn't even hear him. According to her, he asked me a question & when I didn't answer he said, "Well, I guess she doesn't have an opinioin." And of course, everybody laughed, which I actually remember that part & wondering what I had missed. It's funny now, of course, but I think it gave the mistaken impression that I was a bit of a snob. Sorry, ya'll, just me being absorpbed in a book (which I still do today).
