Hello Bill. Thank you for all the effort you and others have invested in rounding everyone up. I look forward to seeing many former classmates next weekend. Here's a shot at a bio.

After leaving Mt. Lebanon, I attended Penn State University where I graduated four years later with a history degree. I married my college boyfriend shortly after graduation and moved to Columbus, Ohio where I spent the next 25 years. My career path has taken me from work in state government, to fundraising for a women's shelter, development and fundraising for The Ohio State University, and consulting for a number of nonprofit organizations. Prior to leaving Ohio, I spent 14 years as president of a statewide association of charitable foundations, and worked to promote philanthropy and informed giving throughout the state.

My first marriage lasted five years and a few years later I met my husband of 25 years - Larry Sirinek (Mt. Lebanon Class of 1968). Larry and I have two children, Michael (24) and Lauren (18) and I am step-mom to Jon (32) and Greg (30). After Larry's boys were out of high school and launched, we both decided that we'd like to come home to Pittsburgh and in 2002 had an opportunity to do just that. I joined the RAND Corporation, which had just opened its third major U.S. office in Pittsburgh, where I serve as their associate director for business development and planning.

We enjoy being back in Pittsburgh and have re-connected with many old friends. Both of our mothers are here, and thankfully, remain in good health. When I'm not working or engaged with family activities I can usually be found gardening, attending a Pirates game (yes, a tried-and-true fan), or spending time reading.

 

Look forward to seeing those who make the trek to Pittsburgh next weekend.
