Steve's Story
Always love to hear from any of you at sgorelick at hunter dot cuny dot edu.
I've lived in the NYC/NJ for 50 years, and have hated the winter a little bit more each year. Although, this year it snowed in West Covina before NYC! Been married for 35+ years to Amy, a professor of theater, director, and producer. Our two daughters, Rebecca and Molly, work together in a childcare business, and son JM is a senior US diplomat who served in Afghanistan and south Sudan.
To this day, Tom Ferris, Chudleigh Long, Carole Rampe, Chuck Spicer, Felice Perez-Pena, and Paul Paye remain among the very best teachers I have ever had.
I pulled the details about what I've been up to from the college's website. I apologize for the third-person formality. Feel free to be in touch.
Best, Steve
