Wow, 40 years. It seems like yesterday, but in another sense, someone else’s life entirely.

 

Right after HS, rushed through college going year round, Allegheny, in Meadville. Out at 18 with a Philosophy degree, finishing up my senior thesis in the ‘burg and working as a waitress. Married and went to Pitt Law School. Worked solo in real estate law and county government then started in the corporate world.

 

Had 2 great kids, Jocelyn and Tyler. Moved in the 90’s to NJ with a company transfer and then back home again just before the world was going to end at the turn of the millennium. Divorced and married Michael, found through childhood friends in a cartooning network.

 

Some ups and down including breast cancer, survivor one year now. A new up, with first grandchild, Jameson Bowman Geraghty of Nashville TN. Filling in any free time with yoga, dancing, learning Lithuanian, pro bono work, helping aging parents, working on this reunion and staring at the Allegheny River from my cabin deck. Living in Peters Twp. and wondering what life will bring next.
