Classmates
The most important part of this effort is to reconnect with friends in the great class of 1966. As Baby Boomers, think about what we’ve experienced, from learning cursive with cartridge pens to posting Instagram images with our smart phones; from learning about JFK’s assassination during the school day to watching the Twin Towers fall on 9/11; and for many of us, going from worrying about prom dates to welcoming grandchildren into our lives. It’s an amazing time to be living! Let’s celebrate and share.

| Comment: After high school I received by BA at Earlham College in Richmond, Indiana. From there my MD at the University of Maryland, and on to the University of Michigan for my Radiology Residency and my Fellowship in Interventional Radiology. During this time I was married and had two children (Lisa and Josh). While in Ann Arbor I became a huge Wolverine sports fan (living in a college town it's contagious!). In 1978 I joined Toledo Radiological Associetes as an Interventional Radiologist. I've been loving my job ever since then. I divorced.... then remarried..... and in 1986 my daughter Amanda was born. That marriage eventually failed. There was a third marriage with two great step kids (Hannah & Toby).... but yet another divorce. Finally I met the right woman! Karen and I were married last July (2014). Marriage photos are included in the slide show. So now I have two grown daughters and five young grandchildren, all of whom love me as their father or grandfather. My passions in life include being with my best friend & soulmate (Karen), reading novels, Jazz, driving my Porsche, and Michigan football, basketball and ice hockey. | |

Comment:
What an interesting and accomplished group the class of '66 is! Since WJ, went to U of MD, ended up with a B.A. in art history which qualifies you to work in the Natl. Gallery gift shop. Oh well, I just really enjoyed learning about the lives and works of creative people. I continued on in later years with courses in gerontology. While at UMD I met my husband, George (contract furniture, real estate) through a Kappa Delta sorority sister. It ended up that three KD sisters married three Keenan brothers -- a great way to keep in touch with your friends! They live in NJ and Cape Cod so we do a lot of traveling up and down the East Coast. Went to Woodstock, my kids think that was cool. I think it would be cool if I found my tickets in the basement (eBay!). We've lived in Georgetown, S.W. Washington waterfront area, and 2 houses in Bethesda. Currently in a wooded area where I battle with the wildlife that eat my attempts at landscaping and gave the dogs Lyme's disease and fox mange! I've had a variety of employment experiences: newspaper, advertising & promotions, freelance graphic art, and when the kids were in school, leading armchair exercise and art history slide shows at nursing homes and senior centers. This gradually led to me being for the last 25 years an activities dir. at a lovely assisted living home. Two children: Shauna and Bryson, both graduated from Winston Churchill HS in Potomac. Spent many years as traveling soccer parents and still do as son plays in an adult league now (we don't have to bring the oranges anymore). Shauna graduated from Rider Univ., NJ, in American studies, Bryson from Penn in communications. They both work at the same law firm in "beautiful downtown Bethesda." Became a grandmother in June -- wonderful! |

| Comment: I graduated from Bucknell University (BA Political Science) and The George Washington University National Law Center, then practiced law for four years and taught law for 10. I've been a senior manager for The Hunger Project-US and have had my own management consulting business ("effective environments") since 1994. Moved from northern CA to NM in 2005 and am very much at home in the land of enchantment. I've been busy with Rotary and travel and still doing consulting work. I'm hosting a Rotary youth exchange student from Switzerland this fall and, on October 1, I'll be marrying Harry Kellerman here in Silver City. |
