I've been living in Seattle for almost twenty years now and haven't done any theater for almost that long. I am married and working as a bus driver. I am active in the labor movement and local politics. I probably won't be able to get back for the 05 reunion but I do think about you all and I will be with you in spirit, at least.

I am an associate professor of Communication Studies at the University of St. Thomas in St. Paul, MN. I spent four life-altering years as a music major at P.A. from 1981-1985.

I was painfully shy when I was a student at P.A.--So shy, in fact, that I didn't have a date in all four years of high school!!!

I've made a lot of progress since those days. I still play piano (recreationally) and I perform long form comedy improv. on stage twice a week.

My family (and my heart) still lives in NYC, so I get back home around four times a year. I never thought I'd establish roots in Minnesota, but I have a great life here. I'd love to hear from anyone who might remember me . . . and I wish all P.A.-ers all the best in life.

I'm not acting anymore. I tried for a while, worked a little (mostly for free) then I fell in love and ended up traveling all around the world. Came back had a baby boy Eoin -- who's 11 years old now (wow)! Fell out of love, went back to school and I'm still there, getting a PhD in literature. I've been teaching for the last six years, at a few different CUNY schools.

Can't wait to see you all at the reunion!

Hi all,
So looking forward to the reunion!

Latest w/ me, got married in 2003, had a baby about a year later (Charlie will be 1 on May 31). I also wrote a young adult novel called KLEPTO to be published by Viking, May, 2006. It's about 2 best friends and their adventures in shoplifting in the 80's during their freshman year at P.A. Can you guess who it's based on?

Love to all,
Jenny Pollack
