Janet's Story
After high school I attended Edinboro State College and got a degree in Library Science. I taught for five years in Somerville, NJ where I met my husband, Andy, who is originally from India.
We moved to Campinas, Brazil where I was living at the time of our 10th class reunion. I was also pregnant at that time with our only son, Hari.
We returned to the States when Hari was 7 weeks old and have lived in Geneva, NY ever since. My husband was a professor at Cornell University's New York Agricultural Experiment Station where he trained food engineers for 31 years.
I got my Master's in Library Science at Syracuse University in 1982, which was also the year I lost both of my parents to cancer. I worked as a school library media specialist for...Expand for more
22 years (5 in NJ and 17 in NY) and retired in 1999.
My husband retired in 2004 and we now spend half the year in Geneva and half the year in Deerfield Beach, FL.
Each of the last two years we have spent two months (mid-January to mid-March) in Palmerston North, New Zealand where Andy has been working with colleagues at Massey University.
Hari, our only son, has an undergraduate degree from Cornell and a Master's from Pitt in International Relations. He works for a computer security company in the D.C. area.
I have been a cancer survivor since 1994 and just attended my brother Bill's funeral in March 2008. He, like my parents, also died of cancer.
I am looking for members of the class of 1962 who would be interested in a class reunion.
