Michelle's Story

Tis a bit dangerous to put anything in print. Who am I really, the question asks. I am female. My friends say "dam that girl is strong". I don't know if they are referencing my physique or what I have survived, hopefully it isn't my breath. I have settled in a nieghborhood in Chicago that is famous only for a dead cougar, to raise my twin 9 year old girls. They are everything that I ever wished that I was and more and I am honored to be able to raise them. God does give out gifts periodically. Professionally, I was in technology, business development and recently recuited to build teams for tech start-ups. Most of my time is spent raising my girls and enjoying their short childhood. Every year I put together a talent show act that performs at the Metro in Chicago. First year I stole the act from SR Year Spectrum where Lessa, Laren and I sat on 3 guys imitating Diane Ross and the Supremes. Knowing what I know now...I can not believe that my dad would let me sit on Soctt Shapland, no reflection on you Scott. Last year I taught adults hip hop. This year contemporary dance that was later banned from a webcast. It is amazing how those disco years shaped my life. Now I am training kids to try triathlons. I am involved in education policy at ...Expand for more
the school, reshaping it to educate all children. I have a climbing team "Like it on TOP" and we climb the stairs at the Sears, Hancock and Aon buildings, not all in one day and then pig out a brunch if you would care to join us. I help with a number of charities. I try to get families to move into my basement when they have hard times but so far no takers and I also try to pick up really old ladies at bus stops in snowstorms but again, no takers. Although my life has never been easy, I always wonder why I get to live in this relatively safe country and have such an abundance of beauty in my life. I am blessed. Speaking of blessed, snort, my family is located in Chicago, except for my brother in Barcelona. Mike is hiding. Things that I have done that I never thought I could do..built an old world Italian villa, sang on a stage, had children, forgave people, went platinum blonde, broke up a fight in a bar, became proud of being called mongo in high school, wore reading glasses in public and made as many bad choices as I have! I have been single for a long time because the older we get, I think the wierder we all are! I am looking forward to the reuinion. Thanks to all of the classmates who have put this together and worked to track people down!
