Elizabeth's Story
Now living in South Carolina- Murrells Inlet. I love being able to get outside year round and walk the beaches. Spend my "free" time gardening and sewing. Have 2 daughters from my first marriage, 34 and 31. They both live in the Baltimore area. Almost 4 grandchildren, 2 girls age 8 & 10 who live in Columbus OH and a grandson 3 and his little sister 1.
After college I got my Masters of Divinity from Wesley Theological in D.C. Spent fifteen years in parish ministry as an ordained minister. Not easy being a female pastor back, maybe not now either! I loved my work but the stress of work and divorce led to a bout with depression. Actually I realized that I have struggled with depression since my high school years. Have been in treatment since my 30's. Doing well with medication and occasional therapy.
I am now facing the most difficult challenge of caring for my husband who was diagnosed with Alzheimer's 3 years ago. He is doing well, all things considered, thanks to the care of a wonderful neuro-psychiatrist.
I currently work part time at a senior housing, HUD funded facility. Love my job and the people I work with. We are involved in our church which is racially mixed and established the subsidized senior housing, a free medical clinic and other outreach.

unique high school situation I think it might be interesting to compile recollections of those years in terms of how it affected our post-high school years. I personally feel we got an excellent education and learned to think critically, something we could use more of these days. I also have always valued the research skills, knowing how to find the information is even more important now.
APRIL, 2022. Time for an update! Wish I could have attended the reunion but a previously booked trip conflicted with the date. When my husband got ill I took up knitting. After his death I actually found a group that combined my two loves- knitting and travel. I’ve been to Maine, Vermont, Massachusetts, Cape Cod, Asheville, Seattle, Montana (which included a visit to an alpaca ranch) and last fall Taos and Albuquerque. Love my travels and looking forward to more in the coming years.
Last year was devoted to getting my parents moved in with my younger sister after caring for them for a number of years. Mom just celebrated her 90 th and dad will be 95 in the fall. They live near Rehoboth. After clearing out the house and getting it sold I moved to Washington DC to be close to my youngest granddaughter. I live in NW near the zoo and I love my neighborhood. Having fun exploring all the city has to offer.
