What was one thing that few, if any, classmates knew about you during your time at Lane?

I was very shy and not as outgoing as I am now. That's why I feel like not too many people remember me.

Education after Lane

Tried Business school to become an accountant.... that didn't work. Went to Norteastern University for 1 semester and that was the end of my try at college. Just started working.

Comments:

Luckily I always loved Drafting (thanks to Mr. Pietka) and ended up working my way thru a few companies before settingling on the company I spent over 35 years at until they closed down.

Favorite Lane Memory:

Being an avid sports fan, I went to as many football, basketball, wrestling events I could manage. Maybe I baseball game and the hockey games were too late at night and my parents wouldn't let me go. Couple of funny memories that will not be mentioned here...

Current Interests:

Being retired I can now catch all the sports that I enjoy now whether in person or on TV. I also enjoy traveling and my favorite place is Las Vegas!!

Accomplishments Since Graduation:

Being married since 1981, having 2 of the best sons a mother could possibly ever have (and 1 wonderful daughter in law). And Happy that they still like hanging out with their parents!!

How did Lane Tech influence your life?

Drafting helped me get to what ended up being a career in Engineering, luckily without a college degree.
