Gretchen's Story
Life
Hello, Union High School Grads! After high school, I attended the University of Tulsa and received a Bachelor of Music Education in vocal music. While I was there, I performed in the University Chorus, the TU Chorale, the Tulsa Oratorio Chorus, and Intuition Vocal Jazz Ensemble. I also performed in several musical theatre and opera performances, including playing the title role in the Carlisle Floyd opera, Susannah. I met my husband while at TU, and we have been married since 1993. He received his undergraduate degree and his Juris Doctorate from TU, and works in a large law firm in Tulsa. We have two children, a girl and a boy, and they are keeping me busy with homeschooling and their music studies.

6 and 2003, I took skaters all the way to the US Junior National Championships in Ice Dancing. I am currently working with a dance couple who have the potential to do the same. Through the years I have also coached gymnastics and have substitute taught for Union Public Schools in their music programs. I look forward to continuing to coach figure skating, since it allows me the freedom to also be a homeschooling, "stay-at-home" mom!
I would love to hear from any of you who were in choir, drama, or orchestra at Union High School, especially those of you who worked with Kenille Elmore, Steve Nibbe, or Pete Peterson (who is still teaching there, by the way!) from 1986 to 1989. Union High School had awesome performing arts programs back then, and I'm sure many students from that era have gone on to successful professional careers. I'd like to hear what you've been up to!
