How I Spent My Last Forty Summer Vacations - I took a deep breath and left home for the wilds of East Lansing and Michigan State University.  I majored in fisheries and limnology and no job.  But my papers on the fathead minnow and the mud-minnow must be required reading by now!  I returned to Pgh and transferred my microscope experience in algae to a different field....cytology.  I spent the next many years sitting at a microscope looking for cancer cells, living it up here in Detroit, Michigan.

On the lighter side, I married Paul...a fellow MSU-er who just happened to play sax in the marching band.  You should see our straight lines and precision maneuvers in 4/4 time. Our other wild adventure has been raising two children to semi-maturity.  As you can imagine, they are strong, good looking, and above average. (just like Garison Keillor promised).

I was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis, and things have reached the point that Paul and I think twice about a road trip.  So at reunion time I will face east towards Mt. Lebo and try to remember the fight song or alma mater or some other appropriate ditty and join everyone in absentia.
