Beth's Story
I've been peeking around at a lot of people; it'd be nice to what you've all been up to. But I can't ask you to do that if I'm not willing to share.
After HS I did all the normal things: went to Germany with AFS, went to college, worked, got married (to Andrea Molinaro's brother, so Andrea is now my sister-in-law!), moved around a lot courtesy of my husband's career (mostly California, Italy, and Ohio.) We have one child: a girl, Katja. As of today (April, 2008) she is thirteen and she looks like the Molinaro side of the family.
I'm currently living just outside of Dayton, Ohio in a small town called Oakwood. Wilbur and Orville Wright's mansion - Hawthorn Hill is around the corner. I visited this city when I worked for Henry Ford Museum and Greenfield Village in the 80's -- never thought I'd live here. Dayton's a small town, but it's got a lot of great stuff going for it: a large theater, a smaller "Victorian" theater, several universities, a world-famous contemporary dance company and a great little art museum. Plus, many people here ARE rocket scientists, thanks to Wright-Patterson AFB, which also makes for some interesting neighbors who do interesting things. ; >

t Ford/Visteon in the mid-to-late '90's; then worked for P&G on the Pampers and Kandoo brands - I know more about the global markets for cars and diapers than I want to!
But, I've quit the rat race and am currently in school at the University of Dayton working on another master's - this one in education and my teaching license (AYA - English and TESOL). I can't wait to graduate and get back to work full-time.
My mom is retired from teaching, she's been happily married since 1983 - or was that 1982? Katie is an architect, in Chicago, married to another architect, and she has two boys.
I see Andrea all the time (obviously) and still hear from Ann Marie Plucinsky, Tanya Van Order, and - of course - my high-school other half, Ned Gilardino. Ned's happily married, has a son, is living in Colorado, and was teaching middle school when I heard from him last - but I think he's a principal at a large, newer school now. If anyone remembers David Johnson, I saw him a several years ago: he is married, has three boys, and lives near Atlanta, GA.

I hope this finds you happy and healthy and in great spirits!
