Lenny's Story
Life is interesting. Out of high school I went to the American Academy of Dramatic Arts in NYC. It was strictly an acting school and I didn't like it too much. I wanted a more well-rounded education so I went to Oneonta State University and finished up with a degree in theater.
I also met my lovely wife, Joanne at Oneonta. We spent a few years in NYC hating it and then lived in Chicago for 11 years. We loved Chicago. I was an actor for about 9 years, but never broke through to a point where I could make a living at it. In my young 30's I went back to school and got my Master's in Literature at DePaul University. Joanne and I had our first child, Genevieve and then moved to the Philadelphia area. We had a second child, Gillian.
I've moved from job to job, trying to figure out what to do. The last 5 years I've been the membership director at our local YMCA. It's a pretty good job. It's a lot of fun, a ton of work, but the pay isn't that great.

I coach soccer in the summer in my daughter's league. Although I wasn't involved in sports in high school (I was too busy working toward my black belt in Tae kwon-do) I am now an active triathlete and have formed a team at the Y to compete at many races in PA, DE and NJ. Any other triathletes out there? It is a huge sport and growing all the time. Great thing is you can do it at any age. Joanne is the Director of the Archives for Drexel University College of Medicine. She's been there for over 11 years, fighting through many changes and has become very successful in her postion.
We love living in Harleysville, PA. It's a great place to raise our children, the school system is excellent and life is good.
I am still in close touch with C.J. Konnerth (aka Cliff), Joe Landi, Mike Angioli, Bruce Herbert, Pete Gretsch and Adam Joseph. We meet at least twice a year and have remained friends lo these many years.
I hope my classmates are doing well.
