Linda's Story
September 7, 2011
Dear Everybody,
I enjoyed the reunion and then enjoyed an art camp in Wooster, Ohio where I learned a little about painting on fabric and a very little about quilts, followed by sightseeing in Chicago with friends.
I'm back at work and would like to keep in touch but not through this Classmates site, which I just realized is charging me $15 per month to be on here. I cancelled that full membership and will have just a free listing as of early November.
You can reach me by the contact information gathered by the reunion committee. This Classmates web site will not allow it to be posted (sorry).
Hope to stay in touch.
Linda
Hi,
The last (and only) reunion I attended was the 25th.
At that time we were trying to get pregnant but sadly that did not occur. Nevertheless I have found satisfaction in being a "good aunt" to a few of the next generation.
Since I last saw you I have had a wonderful time doing many athletic things such as 500 mile bike rides, triathlons, aerobic half time shows for the Bulls a...Expand for more
nd the Bears for fundraising and a one mile swim in Lake Michigan each summer to raise money for cancer research. I have also had arthritis in my knees for 20 years and was able to do my last triathlon in 2006 before the impact of limitations in range of motion made it impossible to run. I've been busy with other things since then, including finishing my PhD at the University of Chicago in 2006 and discovering that, alas, no matter how impressed with your credentials universities may be, they don't want to hire someone my age into a tenure track position (where the research money is). Right now I'm working to regain some range of motion and will see about possible knee surgery in the future.
I love my city of Chicago and enjoy free concerts in Grant park, the DuSable Museum of African American History, the Art Institute and other things. I still enjoy art and writing though I did not make a career of either. I am still working full time and re-growing my private practice.
That's what I've been up to -- how about you?
