D.J.'s Story
Life
Hi. If you remember me from Elementary School, you knew me as "Doralie". We moved to Laurel Hollow in fourth grade and moved away again halfway through eigth - Cathy Saia's family bought our house! I've never stopped missing Laurel Hollow and my friends at CSH. I was such a good girl then - honor student, avid horseback rider, into sports. Remember choir and Mr. Gottsalk and singing "Let Tyrants shake their iron . . ."? If you remember me from Junior High School, I had begun my rebel phase and was something of a Bowie freak. If you remember me from High School, you'll recall seeing me hanging out in the Girl's Room or on the bleachers, though rarely in a classroom. Remember modular scheduling and the student lounge?

Well, I eventually did go on to college at Georgia State University (commuting to school each morning with my dear friend Caryl Berlin - remember her?) In 1989, I graduated from Hofstra Law School, and have been practicing in the public sector every since. I'm an assistant district attorney in Nassau County now; I prosecute special victims cases. Before this I worked in Family Court for a long time prosecuting child abuse and neglect cases. And even further back in time I was a domestic violence ADA in Albany. It all began though at the Legal Aid Society in Queens. Oh, those were the days!
I am a single mom, and my children are the most amazing children in the the history of the world. Life turned out to be quite wonderful but very different from how I pictured the future when I attended Calhoun.
I must say that my memories of those high school years are, though a little fuzzy, quite happy. Hope you all are enjoying your lives as well!
