Adria's Story

Life November 2007 I attended college at Mississippi University for Women, Columbus, MS (Columbus being the birthplace of Red Barber), ending up with a degree in organ performance. Did graduate work in music theory and library service at the University of Alabama in Tuscaloosa. I was hired as a reference librarian there in 1981 and also met my future husband. I left with him to move to Long Island, NY, and worked at a SUNY college in Nassau County (Old Westbury) for 18 months; ended up as the Acting Budget Director (that's a story in itself!). We moved again in 1987 to River Falls, WI, about 40 miles from St. Paul, MN, and finally landed here in Milwaukee in 1990. Rob was born in 1991. He is a sophomore in high school this year. He plays the cello and electric guitar, and runs cross country and track. I was divorced in 2003 after 16+ years of marriage. My ex (who is remarried) and I live about six blocks from each other.

ut it works well for Rob. Since 2005 I have been the Director of Music for a large Catholic parish on the south side of Milwaukee. It's full-time with benefits, and that's nice, having gone without those perks after the divorce. In the past six months I have given four organ recitals featuring the music of Dietrich Buxtehude, and had my arrangement of one of his organ works premiered by my son's high school string orchestra. What a thrill! I'm currently dating a guy I met here in Milwaukee, but who landed a tenure-track position down in Quincy, IL in 2006. He teaches theology. It's about a six-hour drive - not great, but at least manageable. We try and connect every couple of months. Hope all of you are doing well. I would love to see all of you and sit and chat awhile. Perhaps that will happen soon at a reunion. College It's hard to believe we've already had our 25th college reunion! I'd love to attend another and see friends from across the country.
