I can’t believe it is already 40 years !

Left Mt. Lebo right after graduation and started the summer session at Penn State, total good time!!  Joined a fraternity (Delta Chi) and made some great friends who I am in contact with to this day. Went thru Penn State in a little over 3 years and earned a BS degree in accounting…even though I hated accounting!  Came back to Mt Lebo (never left) and took a corporate accounting position with a small advertising agency, MARC USA which today is the largest Ad agency in PA and has several offices across the country. Grew through the ranks and 37 years later am one of the three principal owners serving as Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer.   Went back to school and earned an MBA from Point Park University in International Business. 

Married my wife Rita in 1981 and have two wonderful children, Suzie (28) who works at PNC Bank and David (26), who currently is serving in the Navy as a petty officer on submarines.  We have lived in Mt. Lebo for 30 years and are happy to report both kids are out of the house! Bought a house in Palm Beach Gardens, FL about 8 years ago and hope to spend more time there as winters in the Burgh suck! Our little Yorkie, Benji spends more time in Florida than I do (???).  

I still see a lot of our classmates that live in the area.  Can’t wait to see everyone at the reunion.  Hope all are enjoying the summer. 

Ps….Chip Young, Mark McKenna and John Surma could not possibly root for USC….their hearts are still in Mt Lebo !
