Anything else you want to share:  Married my High School sweetheart, whom I met in 1976 at BVA.  We were married in 1980 and are still happily married after 28 years.  My daughter is pursuing her Doctorate Degree in Physical Therapy at the University of Pittsburgh.  She will graduate in 2009.  My son is a Freshman Civil Engineering Student at the Penn State University.  My son and I (Yes me) still race motocross.  The body hurts much more the next day at age 50.  (Hit the magic number on February 20th of 2008)  I still enjoy all athletic activities but other than motocross, I have moved on to some safer types.  (Physical Fitness, Weightlifting, Golf, Racquetball)  I coached children’s sports during the growing up years of my own children and still play with and attend all of the neighbor children’s sports activities.

I left BV in 95 to try for a better life.  It's a shame how many of my friends from back there are either dead from drugs or suicide, or are well on there way to being dead or in jail.  I wasn't exactly an angel back then, so it's a good thing I got out of there when I did!  If any one wants to contact me, please do so. I would love to hear from any of my old friends!

After high school I went to college and worked in a few museums and held various jobs in The Arts. It was always such a hectic lifestyle . . . lots of traveling.  Jason and I bought a beautiful OLD house in our hometown that we loved fixing up and making it our own.  But of course, something was missing . . . kids. So now we have two beautiful daughters, and I have to say --life has never been so lovely, and so sweet as it is right now.

I miss Belle Vernon!  I know I "only" graduated two years ago.  But I did grow up a lot since then.  We all couldn't wait to "get out of here."  Now that I'm "out of here" I can't wait to come HOME!!  There's no place like home, literally.  We are in El Paso because Anthony is in the Army.  It's certainly different here. Anyways, Go Leopards!
