I have enclosed a picture of my family taken last June at my daughter Julia's graduation from Wellesley College. This
picture represents what I have been doing for the last 24 years of my life... with my husband, Harper, raising 3
children! We had our children after we had been married for 17 years (we had almost given up hope of ever having
children!). They are 24, 22, and 20. My oldest daughter graduated from Wellesley College in 2003 and my son is a
sophomore at Tulane University in New Orleans. He spent the fall semester at Harvard as a Katrina evacuee.
I have spent my time volunteering for various activities in the school system, in my church, in Scouting and in
various community groups. It has been really wonderful, and I have loved every minute of it. When I graduated from
Purdue, I moved to New York City (Manhattan), where I met my husband and where we lived for 27 years. Then we
moved to Ridgewood, NJ in 1988 where we still live. I am looking forward to the reunion!
