Renate's Story
Life
Recently divorced.Have 3 grown daughters, ages 37 to 46 (from my 1st marriage) and 5 grandchildren,ages 2 to 23. We now have a miniature poodle name Pierre and part-time custody of 2 Bishon Frises, Nadar and Sissi They are now filling the spaces of my grown daughters since all live so far away. We just sold our Central Park West apartment in NYC and bought The 2004 Coastal Living Magazine Idea Home (which can be viewed online through Coastal Living Magazine site in Apollo Beach, Florida (south of Tampa).
I attended UNO(then LSUNO),New Orleans, UGA,Athens,GA and Bloomsburg U.,Bloomsburg,PA and still take classes whenever I find something that interests me.
I left the South and moved to PA in 1988 then Manhattan in 2003. Presently, I just went back to work as a real estate broker having merged my company with Keller Williams Realty Shouthshore in Apollo Beach, FL.enjoying persona never thinking I would have to work again at my age. I have been in the real estate business for 28years a nd have owned and operated a RE/MAX agency. Before that I spent 23 years in hotel/restaurant management and also owned my own restaurant and catering service in Montgomery,AL.

ome to NOLA but since Katrina, there is no reason to visit except for our higj school reunions. I moved my father to Florida after the storm. He passed away on his birthday in July, 2008. My mother passed away in 1994.
I also went back to practicing and being very involved with my Jewish faith and while in Israel I experienced total inner-peace with myself and my heritage. I now continue to pass on the message of the Holocaust in remembrance of the family I lost and follow in the footsteps of my parents who survived it. I speak on the subjects of not only their experiences but also the story of my coming to America and trying to acclimate being an American at the St. Petersburg, FL Holocaust Museum.
It was so nice to see so many of you at our 48th reunion in 2011 and I feel close to so many of you.
I have learned recently that for sure you should live and enjoy each day as if it were your last. I lost my good health and it's becoming more and more debilitating day by day but I am not giving up!
I am truly looking forward to seeing you all and finally sitting down and enjoying our next reunion. Anyone out there wanting to help Jim, Chip Ginger,Cheryl and me, please contact us. It takes a lot of work to put these events together.
Till our (do you believe it will be our 50th?) reunion in 2014!
