Left the morning after graduation to spend the summer working in VA  
Beach with Peggy Parker, Becky McCallum, Judy Hodgson, Amy Moreland,
and Cindy Ross. Great time….wonderful memories!  Off to U of MD in
the fall. Learned very quickly that I was in the wrong major. Besides
that, I really missed my boyfriend (Doug Satterfield ‘71) who was 
working in Pittsburgh. Returned to MTL, spent what little I had saved
on a Golden Retriever puppy, and went to work to earn some money so I 
could travel. The following summer, Doug and I took the first of many
trips out west where we fell in love with the mountains, the canyons, 
and the Pacific Ocean.

Received a degree from the Art Institute and continue to enjoy
drawing and painting.  Married Doug in 1976…. three wonderful kids
(two sons and a daughter).  Our sons both settled in Pittsburgh after
college and started the Internet division of Rolliers (the family 
business) called hardtofinditems.com in 2008.  I feel fortunate to
have the opportunity to work with them every day, handling the packing 
and shipping. Our daughter is a leasing agent in Chicago, enjoying
the city life.

I’ve held many different jobs through the years, the most memorable a
volunteer position at Allegheny General Hospital.  After surgery to
remove a brain tumor (thankfully benign and operable), I found the 
medical care to be excellent but the emotional support falling short. 
Working with the NeuroOncology Department, I helped to establish the
Pittsburgh Area Brain Tumor Support Group and co-coordinated it for 5 
years with a very compassionate PA from that department. During those
years I met some extraordinary people who enriched my life 
tremendously. Unfortunately, with the changes in our lives and in the
health care system it became harder to get funding and the group was 
dissolved in the mid ‘90s.

Still living in Pittsburgh where I enjoy spending time with family
and friends, art, taking long walks, traveling, and watching Penguin 
hockey!

It’s been fun catching up with all of you. Many thanks to the 
committee for pulling this together… Looking forward to October!
