Shirley's Story
Life
Shirley Capwell Gross WHS class of 1960. Mansfield class of 1965.
Teacher and stay at home Mom. Now retired.
Met and married my husband, John Gross, while at Mansfield.
We have lived in the same house on the Wilawana Road, across from K-Mart plaza for 40 years. We have three daughters and 3 grandchildren. Our granddaughter( the first grandchild; now 4) has a little brother
Our oldest daughter is Sherri, Ph D from Syracuse; is a teacher and lives on a hill top outside Ithaca, NY.
Then we had a set of twin girls. The older twin has a Masters degree from Bucknell, is married to Colin Gelbutis of Litchfield, she's purchasing agent for Raymond Corp. in Greene ,NY. They live in Litchfield, PA.
They have a beautiful baby boy, born 3/7/05; weighed in at 10# 2.8 ozs. Named Cole Warner Gelbutis and, of course, we were in FL for the birth. and our younger twin Shelley has a D V M from Cornel Vet. school; she works part time at the Athens Animal Hospital.

th our 30 ft. fifth wheel . Of Course, we go camping close to home these days because the grandkids will only be little once.
We're often at home a great deal of the summer to enjoy the grandkids and travel the other three season but we're home for Christmas. Would love to hear from any classmates of 59', 60' 61
We have 4 dogs, (house dogs) the Yorkie is the only pure bred and he doesn't know he is.)
School
Bill MaGee and Clark Gage were the best teachers I've ever known: Better than college professors or people I've worked with. I can only hope that in my teaching career, I might have touched one student as Mr. Magee and Mr. Gage touched me.
If I could do it all over again, would I? In a NY minute but I'd be nicer to people, try not to hurt people that I hurt and not make so many stupid mistakes. If I could go back knowing what I know now; my life might be very different or I might be in prison; either way I would have had fun doing it.
Workplace
My main profession was stay-at-home Mom but I managed to get 12 years of teaching squeezed in here and there. I taught full time at Waverly (West End and Lincoln St.,St. James, Epiphany in Sayre and a lot of extended subbing in Sayre Elementary.
