Phyllis's Story
Life
OK...so here I am, almost 30 years since that hot May day in 1977 when I took my last look at high school. It was several lifetimes ago...even though at times it seems like it was yesterday. The roads traveled between then and now include various cities where I've lived, worked and played, including Houston, TX (1981-1985 and where my family relocated permanently), NYC (1985-1988 had to "make it there" to make it anywhere, right?), and then Washtington DC (1985-now and when I say "area" I mean MD and VA...no one really lives in DC). Anyhow, umpteen marketing jobs, two marriages and one son and a guinea pig later, I am now living in Northern Virginia (about 10 miles from Dulles Airport if you're familiar w/the area) and am a marketing manager for a software company. I have joint custody of my son, who is a fantastic ice hockey player and makes me watch sports on TV all the time. (Which, by the way, takes me back to those days in high school when watching the Rangers and Knicks on TV at Stev...Expand for more

In addition to my full-time job, I also teach fitness classes (Step, Pilates, etc.) and have been doing so since 1982, which has kept me sane, fit, and according to latest research, helped stave off early onset dimentia. As you can see, I haven't lost my sense of humor. I suppose if I had to sum up my life here, I would have to admit, I could probably get away with attending the 20th year reunion instead of the upcoming 30th with no problem. I guess that is a combination of not feeling or looking my age and a healthy amount of denial. :-)
Over the years, I have kept in touch with Laurie Greenberg, Shari Steinberg and have had a chance to catch up with Socky and Jane Siegel in the last few years. Always good to get a blast from the past, and so I am looking forward to attending the next one in 2007 and seeing everyone again. Feel free to write anytime...as you can see, that is one thing I still love to do -- I even get paid for it now!
