| I have been living in northern NJ since 1971. I was married and raised two incredibly super kids. Eugene, 31, is married and works with computers. Nicole,30, is married and has taught third grade for seven years. We live in the same condo development and get to enjoy each other as friends as well as family. I enjoyed reading about our classmates from PA, I just can't believe it's been over 40 years since I first stepped foot into the entrance to PA. | ||

| I ran a successful dancing school for many
years. Following that I earned an interior design degree from Pace University and currently have a practice in Northern Westchester and Sarasota, Florida, where we spend our winters. And I never stopped dancing. I am a published author. My book "Everyday Heroes" published by Howell Book House, then a division of MacMillan, won the Maxwell Award for excellence in its category. It is a collection of heroic dog stories inspired by the work of Guiding Eyes for the Blind (I have been a volunteer there for the past 8 years). A sequel is in the works. And I never stopped dancing. I am very proud of my two sons. Cliff, 37, who lives in LA and is a computer programming consultant. He has blessed us with Clara, a precocious 13year old granddaughter. Matthew, 33, lives in Westchester, and works for MTV. He is the father of 2 boys: Adam 16 months, and Jamie, the latest addition to our family, was born just 3 weeks ago. And I never stopped dancing. Last but certainly not least, is my husband Matt. He is a renowned architect in northern Westchester. He has helped me to grow into the person I am today. And I danced right into his life. |

| I am still working in a private school near DC, but am thinking of retiring. My daughters are now 23 and 26. One is graduating from law school in June and the other is finishing a Masters in Science and applying to Veterinary School. My husband and I come to New York often to see our daughters, both of whom live in New York. Too bad my parents gave up our 9 room apartment on the upper west side before it turned co-op | ||

| After earning a BA in Art History at Hunter
College, I performed occasionally through the years while working in real
estate sales, running a psychotherapist's office and hot line, doing
paralegal work at a tenants' rights law firm and finally becoming a legal
assistant at a large NY law firm. Most recently I was in an exercise
video and still hobble through jazz and ballet classes. I live with a
wonderful guy - a drummer who plays on B'way not too far from PA.
Small world, huh. |

| I've had a busy and exciting life. Shortly after graduation,
I married Steve Lewis (class of 64'). Presently I'm both a real estate agent
and a para-mutuel at Monmouth Park Racetrack. Both my jobs are fun and most
of the time I feel as if I'm on vacation. In addition to my paying jobs, I'm
currently designing a line of gem stone jewelry. This is the thing I love
doing the most. Once the line is finished, I'll put it up on my web site for
the world to see. Steve and I live in Monmouth County New Jersey and
would love to see any PA'ers who pass our way.
P.S. This is a picture of our beagle Ali, isn't she adorable?? (she's the one on the right.) |

| I taught HS full time for 12 years, then became a stay-at-home mom with the arrivals of my 2 children, first a boy, and then a girl. My son is a senior at Syracuse, and my daughter is a freshman at Syracuse (no discounts given). My husband is a corporate and real estate attorney. I went back as an adjunct professor teaching Health and Social (ballroom) Dance. I've dabbled in comedy writing and standup, and am officially known as the "2nd Funniest Person on L.I" I am getting ready to leave my career as educator and start a career as a writer, (educational and comedic). | ||

| Where to begin? Well I’ve lived in different parts of the world and traveled a lot…India, Asia, the Middle East, Europe and Africa is the big picture. Danced around as well, touring mostly. Spent some time in a zen monastery. Had a dance company in the 80’s and did freelance set and costume design. Studied decorative painting and this esoteric glass technique in Europe and now have my own business doing commissioned work for architects and designers in Verre Eglomise (esoteric glass tech) right back here in the big apple.

| I was engaged at graduation and married a year later. Got pregnant on my honeymoon and my husband's draft notice was in the mail upon our return. We spent the next 10 years as a military family. After living in Colorado and then Indiana for awhile my husband returned to the military and I moved to upstate New York. We never did get back together as he passed away from cancer in 1989. I have two lovely married daughters. My youngest lives nearby and has three kids; a boy 14, a girl 11 and a 5 1/2 year old boy. My older daughter moved to PA two years ago when her husband finished his PhD and accepted a position as a professor at a college down there. She has two kids; a 4 year old girl and a 2 1/2 year old boy. My 4 year old granddaughter was diagnosed with Leukemia about 1 month after they moved to PA so I spend a lot of time commuting there when she has bad patches. She's doing extremely well and is fully expected to recover. For any Penn State grads out there who are aware of the Dance-A-Thon, we were a Four Diamonds Family this year and is was a marvelous experience. OK. About Me. I'm an accounting supervisor for a Pharmaceutical Company. Interestingly, we make the ADHD medication my oldest grandson is prescribed. I am the President of a very small Little Theater group for which I have choreographed, acted and directed. I sing in my church choir which is renowned in the area for the music we sing. We have sung Rachmanioff pieces in Russian, Bernstein's psalms in Hebrew, Latin pieces by all the masters including Bach, Widor, Purcell,Mozart etc. and Gregorian Chant. I am also active in my parish having served at one time or another as a youth minister, liturgy committee chairman, and parish council member. I currently serve on the Hospitality and Social Ministry Committees and as a lector and Eucharistic minister when choir isn't in session. All in all a very full life even if dancing didn't take me to Broadway as I had planned. I'd love to hear from everyone else in our class. Love, Barbara-Ellen Francis (now Barbara E. Zuber) | ||

| I majored in Theatre Arts at Hofstra University from '65-'69. Lost my mom to breast cancer when I was a junior. Had open heart surgery in’69; I've been fine ever since. In the early 70's I worked on and off Broadway and in Rep. and did a Soap and commercials. In 1976, after getting married every night as Hadass in Yentl, I wed my first husband, an actor (silly me). After a year and a half, he ran off with an apprentice from summer stock! While in the process of getting divorced, I went to St. Louis to do Father's Day (which was...you guessed it, about getting divorced)! There, on New Year's Day 1979, I met my now husband, Mark Stewart, while he was in law school. Eventually, I moved to St. Louis to be with him. We married in 1980 (naturally, I was getting married in A Midsummer Night's Dream before my wedding). I worked in voice-over industrials, commercials and theatre while we tried to start a family. After two early miscarriages, and Mark's graduation, we went back to N.Y. when I was cast as a character who was pregnant in a show that was to open on Broadway. Needless to say, I took this as an omen that I would have a successful pregnancy! The show never went into rehearsal but, after moving back to St. Louis, Colleen Marie Stewart was born in '83. Mark couldn't handle living in NYC, nor I in St. Louis, so, after he passed the California bar, we headed West in '85. I was fortunate to pick up the voice and commercial work here, and lucky to do several plays with The Los Angeles Theatre Center when it was a company in the late 80's. In 1987, Molly O'Neil Stewart was born (oddly, I was not doing a play in which I became pregnant). Eventually I began to do sitcom and more recently episodic and films. Mark is a partner in his law firm, Colleen is a sophomore at Occidental College and Molly is a high school sophomore. We moved into our dream house (better known as Casa de Mortgage) over four years ago and life continues to be pretty darn good! Please let me know if you're heading this way. Wishing you the best and looking forward to seeing you in 05. | ||

| I congratulate Steve for this great effort. Seeing the re-union pictures were quite memorable. I hope to see all of you at the next event. Briefly, I went on to complete three degrees, securing a doctorate from the University of Texas, Austin. I am now a professor at the University of Colorado at Boulder where I am the current chair of Women and Gender Studies. I do research on reproductive health and sexuality in southern Africa. Even though, I've lived and worked in about 11 countries, I am a specialist on the last kingdom in Africa, Swaziland. Over the years, I've worked as a consultant for UNESCO, USAID and other NGOs; awarded a Fulbright to the University of Namibia; and taught at the University of Zambia, Lusaka. Somewhere in the midst of all this travel, I had two boys: Che and Omar. Beside living in Colorado, I also maintain a residence in Brooklyn, NY. | ||

| Hello all, This site it's so great!.... I can't wait for the
reunion. Besides PA's 40th, my husband and I will be celebrating our
40th wedding anniversary this year. We have 2 wonderful (married) sons
and 1 adorable granddaughter who just turned eight. We live in the
Hudson Valley with our dog (a female pug named Rudi) who has totally
stolen our hearts. I've been working in advertising for over 20 years as an
art producer. I never really pursued acting but when I retire...
Look-Out-Broadway!!! Just kidding of course :-) I'm looking forward to
seeing you all again. |

| I am married to a wonderful and talented musician who
graduated from M&A We have been married for 35 years and have two wonderful
sons, both working musicians who are 30 and 24 years old. I started a new
career about 8 years ago as a teacher in the public schools of NJ. I was
able to get certified by the "Alternate Route" to certification process, and
I have been employed as a full time dance teacher in an elementary school in
Plainfield, NJ. I love my work and love bringing dance into the lives of
children who would not normally be exposed to the arts. I have also been
dancing and studying Flamenco dance and I perform with Alborada Dance
Theatre. I am truly blessed to still be able to dance and perform in this
art form which has totally opened up new world to me. |
