Mary A. Lewis

Lots has happened in the last 30 years.

I graduated from Point Park College - now a university -- in 1981 in Journalism and Communications and got a master's degree from Syracuse University in radio and TV production in 1982. I worked for many years in broadcasting -- first in Pittsburgh at KQV Newsradio, then in West Virginia, then in Houston, Texas. I switched to TV and became a reporter in Austin Texas, then in West Palm Beach Florida. I went back to radio news and worked in Miami for four years, then back to Pittsburgh where I was an overnight talk host at KDKA Radio for five years. After that I taught at several local colleges and universities,as an instructor in speech, English and journalism.

These days I am spending my time writing. I have published a couple of novellas under a pen name. I've enjoyed reconnecting with some of my high school classmates since the 30 year reunion and am always interested in hearing from them, especially if we knew each other back then.

There are so many memories -- first of course of homeroom with the rest of the "Real McCoys.
I remember many of the teachers -- Mr. McCann, who taught me to write, whom so many others have mentioned. How about Ernest Oskey in American History junior year? Also Ms. Printz and Ms. Szwarc, in psychology and sociology respectively, and someone few have mentioned -- Mr. McGovern -- who spoke only in Francais. I wonder where they are and how they are doing.
Mostly I remember the other students. There were many!
