I danced a while after graduating and then married and had 2 sons. In 1977 I remarried and raised 2 stepchildren along with mine. We now have 5 grandkids. We live in Bucks County PA  in an old stone farmhouse circa 1860 in the middle of 10 acres, a far cry from the Big Apple. For the last 15 years I have worked in my husband's Financial Services Business. Our hobby has been raising and showing show dogs. We have had over 70 champions including 5 Am. German European Int'l Champs and 4 Westminster winners. I am now an A.K.C judge. See you can never really get out of Show Business.

Moved to Florida with my husband and 2 sons 30 years ago. Was fortunate enough to work in Dinner Theater /Local Rep for several years and really put some of that good PA training to use. But it came time to begin earning a "real" living as my boys got older and ready for college. I work in Telecommunications now, but the meetings I sponsor can be  very "dramatic". If anyone is planning to be in the Boca Raton area, let me know and we'll have a mini-reunion of our own.

After p.a., I attended Manhattan School of music for 2 years.  I was offered a job with the Festival Casals in Puerto Rico.  This tour was 2 Months and I traveled all over the Island, Playing at Schools and other public venues.  We traveled to Barbados, Trinidad, Caracas and the Dominican Republic.

When I returned home my dad had died and I helped my Mom run her music school  in Brooklyn.  I attended N. Y. C. C.  and received my A.A. degree,  and L. I. U.  where I finished my Bachelors degree in Music Education.  I started my M.A. at N. Y. U.  and started to teach Junior High School Orchestral Music.  I was still working at my mom's school as well.  I was also playing weekends in a society-type band.  After a while I gave up teaching Junior High and re-enrolled at N. Y. U.  where I earned a degree in filmmaking. 

I traveled to Hollywood and worked on the crew of a minor movie starring Mickey Dolenz, Chuck McCann and Linda Lovelace.  It was a spoof.  I had some lines in the movie as well.  When I returned home I did a movie directed by Susan Seidleman.  I quit teaching altogether and took a steady job at the Post Office.  Then I married my girlfriend Susan,  who was a second grade teacher in Queens.  We have a son and now live in long Island.  Susan just retired and I was offered and early out as well.  Haven't made up my mind yet. 

Great to be in touch, so to speak with former grads (finally) on the Internet.

It is absolutely a shock that we are nearing our 40th year reunion. I'm still amazed that I'm not 27. However...I have been in Los Angeles for 30 years. I was a bandleader and had a music company for 25 years and provided music for private and corporate clients. I have an incredible 16 year old daughter, Jenny. I was in a long term relationship which ended and am now once again dating. A big change in my life is that I am being ordained as a rabbi in May, 2003. I've been a full time student for 5 years, lived in Israel with Jenny for 2 years and have changed my name to my Hebrew name, Yossi. Life is full of surprises.

First of all: that's NOT my quote; it should be "Every Good Boy Does Fine." Anyway... I live in Pasadena, CA with my wife, Maureen, and our 3 cats. I've been arranging and orchestrating music since I graduated PA for everything from 3 burlesque shows to The Dick Cavett Show to the "gospel" Grammys (in Nashville) to The "real" Grammys (in...wherever they are) to the final Frank, Dean & Sammy Tour--with several movie orchestrations and composing for an off-off Broadway (LA) musical thrown in. I get back to NYC every few years. God, I miss the pizza!

For the most part, I do orchestral work. I play "The Phantom of the Opera," on Broadway. I've performed or recorded for most of the stellar performers, including Duke Ellington, Frank Sinatra, Sarah Vaughan, Lena Horne, Ray Charles, Tony Bennett, to name a few. I've toured the US, Europe, the Middle East and Africa with various artists and orchestras. As I transit towards retirement, I've begun to teach. I have a studio at home, and also teach at a private elementary school in Brooklyn.

One afternoon last year I wrote my autobiography and now I am having it illustrated, with an eye toward publishing it. It's called "Princess Mama and Her Two Stupid Husbands." First I married (foolishly) an actor and then I married (foolishly) a musician. Should have married a dancer, but, never again! Today I live happily alone, a stone's throw from PA, and get frequent visits from my terrific son, a college freshman, who brings his dirty laundry home. My son is a physics major, testimony that--as anyone who ever sat in math class with may remember--god moves in mysterious ways.

The caption under my yearbook picture says "Then she got on her horse and rode into the sunset," haha, which I did, for a time, living in Utah/Arizona. One of the people I rode with was a writer, and he wrote a good book, which has sold a few million copies, which features a dancer from the Bronx! Who could it be? I wrote about it not so long ago, here: http://www.sierraclub.org/sierra/200209/abbey.asp

Soon after he was hired by the Oregon Repertory Theatre as a resident actor and director, with whom he directed 5 shows and acted in four during the next 5 years. He also "guested" and directed 2 more operas for the Eugene Opera Company and Miss Julie at the Playhouse on the Square in Memphis Tennessee.

I have lived in Wilmington, DE since graduating from Queens College. I taught school till I had my children. They are now grown (32,30,24)and on their own. I also have one grandchild who is amazing. Music is still an important part of my life, although these days I play the piano mostly for me. I have been working in the insurance business since 1982, specializing in life insurance and disability income for business owners and professionals. I'm divorced but in a wonderful long-term relationship. I travel lots to see my children in NYC, DC and Jacksonville, FL...and work hard between my vacations. I have the most wonderful memories of my days at PA and would love to hear from my classmates. Anyone live in the Philadelphia area? Phila is only 20 minutes from away. Please let me hear from you.

After several years in NYC teaching Figure Skating and doing choreography for the Parks Dept., I moved with my husband, son and daughter to Northern New Jersey. There, working for The Playboy Hotel, I met the love of my. My second husband and I ran The Health Club and Activities Department for the Playboy Hotel and had the sponsorship of Vernon Valley/Great Gorge Ski Area for developing our talents. We taught dance, health & fitness, self improvement and had the opportunity to travel all over the world lecturing and teaching. In 1990 we founded the International Ski Dancing Association and began the quest to bring a new art form to the world. I used everything I learned at PA and parlayed that into a creative and rewarding life. I'm grateful for those years and for the years ahead.

"So many years later and so far in distance from my past, it's a delight to get re-acquainted with my fellow PA-ers!! I'm not so serious now (look at that picture!!), am married (to an actor) with no kids but lots of rescued kitties and still work as an actor, choreographer, director and dance teacher (a switch from my Drama Department days) at such places as Actors Theatre of Louisville (I live in Kentucky) Stage One Children's Theatre and Walden Theatre School and my most cherished gigs are teaching dance to Special Needs children! Whenever I mention PA to people they look at me with wide eyes....as if "YOU went THERE...wow". Hope to hear from some of you."

I've been married for 33 years and live 20 minutes from mid-town on the Jersey side. Over the years I've remained active as a composer and arranger and have over 60 published works many of which have been recorded. Below is my somewhat offical bio:

Jeffrey Kaufman is a 25 year veteran of the commercial recording industry. Receiving his undergraduate and graduate degrees from the Manhattan School of Music where he majored in Music Composition he subsequently opened his production company: KEM Enterprises, Inc. through which he has produced over 300 recordings in the areas of Classical Music, Jazz, and Instrumental Music and has worked with The London Symphony, The Royal Philharmonic, The English Chamber Orchestra, The Orchestra of the Radio/Television Luxembourg, The Melbourne Symphony, The Utah Symphony, The New Jersey Symphony to name but a few.

In the early 1970’s he became Music Director for the renowned Richie Havens for which he wrote, arranged and co-produced various projects. He has also worked with renowned soloists in the areas of Classical Music and Jazz including: Art Blakey, The Brecker Brothers, Dave Valentin, Maureen McGovern. His classical-crossover hit SYMPHONIC ELVIS produced in cooperation with Graceland and the Memphis Symphony and released by Teldec/Warner Brothers as well as HOOKED ON BAROQUE (one in the series Hooked on Classics) and released by RCA/BMG Records remain amongst the best selling recordings in the genre.

In the early 80s he traveled extensively producing the first digital recordings in Poland, The Czech and Slovak Republics, Hungary and the former East Germany. He created and launched the first series of Budget Classics in the 1980s under the title BLACK PEARL and is currently involved with his label PHOENIX USA http://www.phoenixcd.com which is a CD label devoted to 20/21st century classical music which emphasizes American composers.

In conjunction with his friend and colleague conductor/producer Ettore Stratta, he has been involved in many live concert productions produced at Carnegie Hall. These productions include:
"Tribute to Stephane Grappelli" featuring Yo Yo Ma, The Julliard String Quartet, Michelle Legrand; "Tribute to The Nicolas Brothers" featuring Lena Horne, Bobby Short and Savion Glover; "Tribute to Jobim" featuring Antonio Carlos Jobim. "An Evening of Accapella" featuring The Manhattan Transfer and Al Jarreau.

Under the auspices of Absolut Vodka, several productions were created including the 5 year series ABSOLUT CONCERTO through which he commissioned works by some of America's most outstanding composers including: Aaron Jay Kernis, Michael Torke, Morton Gould, Ned Rorem, David Diamond, William Bolcom, and Richard Danielpour presented at Lincoln Center's Philharmonic Hall with The New Jersey Symphony, The American Symphony Orchestra and The Orchestra of Saint Lukes, as well as ABSOLUT JOFFREY which featured newly commissioned dance works featuring the world famous Joffrey Ballet.

Mr. Kaufman has been the recipient of awards and grants from The New York State Council on the Arts, The National Endowment for the Arts, The Alice Ditson Fund for Music, The Aaron Copland Fund, The Rockefeller Foundation, The Martha Baird Rockefeller Fund, Meet the Composer as well as two Grammy nominations. He is a 25 year member of ASCAP and has served as a Governor for The National Academy of Recorded Arts and Sciences where he organized a major conference focusing on the subject of "Downloadable Audio over the Internet" featuring: Microsoft, Intel, At&T, ASCAP, BMI, the RIAA, Real Audio, MP3.com, and Cdnow as well as being responsible for the creation of the Grammy category “Best Classical Crossover”.

OK, I couldn't resist. Here my then picture from now and then the year book. I'll get a better copy later. How are all of you doing? What's new? I guess I can give a little bio for all to see. After I left Performing Arts in 1964 I joined the United States Army Band. I spent three years in the service first in the 328th Army band in Brooklyn and then the 1st US Army Band in Staten Island. I then worked many jobs from a switchman in the phone company to a union projectionist in New York City to Bell Labs in Holmdel New Jersey. All the time still playing music. Now I have my own record company (see my site above) and we're hoping to make it big :)

I have been living in Texas for the past 9-1/2 years, and for the past 7-1/2 years, I have been the Executive Assistant to the Executive Director/CEO of a non-profit organization - Texas Society of Certified Public Accountants. I have a wonderful job that includes travel every two months with the Executive Board and twice a year I attend Board of Directors meetings and the Annual Meeting of Members. There are approximately 27,000 Texas CPAs who are members of the organization. On a personal note, my move to Texas from Long Island was relationship-motivated; however, I am still single and live alone, although I have been with the gentleman for 11-1/2 years. Guess I can't give up my independence! I am very happy with my life and feel very at peace with myself.

I have had as surprising a life as one could hope for. For 40 years or so I have been a professional actor in TV, Film and on stage having appeared in over 100 stage plays, 25 major feature films and a hundred or so movies of the week and episodes. Thank God for union pensions!! I also taught college (acting) for 8 years; went to school and got an ordination from a rabbi and do weddings, funerals etc (a wedding I did was in INSTYLE magazine); became an expert witness for court cases on condominium associations; develop land and property in Palm Springs; started programs to visit the sick and homebound and to minister to those in grief; travel; love life and am constantly amazed at how wonderful it all can be.
What beautiful times we had on 46th street...PA has never left my heart. I will never forget sneaking Camels and black coffee in Mr. Parker's custodian room with Charlie Bershatsky!

I live in Hawaii since May 2000, involved in theatre constantly (9 shows in the last 3 years) most well known Steel Magnolias, Over the River, The Dead, Wit, the Vagina Monologues, Fiddler and Morning's At Seven ...I have traveled and worked all over the US, in Brazil, England, Sweden, Spain, Jamaica, the Dominican Republic, Haiti and Italy, where I had my daughter, Anais, in 1981, on a hillside overlooking Florence at dawn. Single parent, I added to my income by going back to school for an R.N. degree and since 1985 have been juggling theatre, nursing and most challenging of all, single parenting.  My daughter soon to be 22 and a senior at the Museum School of Fine Arts in Boston. My name has been Sharon Adair since 1970. There's a whole lot of bizarre detail in there...I've had a wild ride, lots of ups and downs, ins and outs, and yada...now I'm to be 56 on 8/4 and loving Hawaii. It's so beautiful and guess what...water round almost every turn, over almost every hill...that's what I love the most....and the Aloha. I just produced 'On Golden Pond' and will be directing "The Trip to Bountiful' in the spring.
A hui ho....Sharon (Sherry Saxe)

Am semi-retired here in Port St. Lucie, FL, waiting for my foot to heal so I can play golf. Have sold the Hit Show Club but still own Steady Printing & Graphics near Times Square. Miss the theatre in New York but that's why there are airplanes. Our 40th reunion is a little mind blowing (with what little mind I have left to blow)!

After PA, I attended the University of WI-LaCrosse (city pop., 45,000). After B.S. degree (1968), 2 yrs. military, then completed MSW and Ph.D. at UW-Milwaukee. Married x1, one child (son,29 y/o, Accountant, Chicago); married x2 (21 yrs. interfaith [Jewish], daughter, 18, college student; son, 14, middle school). Practiced as a social worker/marriage & family therapist for 25 yrs. In 1995, joined the social work faculty at UW-M (currently, Associate Professor), and still maintain a small private clinical practice, and provide training and consultation in multicultural mental health to educators and health/social service providers. Gave up playing music after college. Now enjoy listening to good jazz and classical music, attending theater arts (dance, plays). Enjoy spending time with family and friends. Time at PA (education and friendships), remains one of my most precious and memorable experiences, as it opened a new world for me. Hope to see some of you in the near future. Be well to all of you.
