I have been retired since then.

Single again. I was married twice. The last one ended in 1994. I have a son Brian (age 30) and a daughter (29) from my first marriage. They are both married. My son has a produce business. My daughter is a teacher and is married to a medical doctor. Both of my children presented me with my first grandsons the past winter. Alexander and Brian, Jr.

B.S. in English from Penn State - 1967.
M.Ed. in Secondary Counseling from Shippensburg - 1972

I taught English and was a high school guidance counselor in Pennsylvania for 27 years. In 1999 I took early retirement and my husband and I relocated to Pompano Beach, Florida! We were lucky enough to find a condo on the beach, here, and I have resumed work as an 11th and 12th grade counselor for the Broward County School District.

I work in a high school with 4,300 students! The job I do is very much what I've always done. The difference is that I come home from work and feel as if I'm on vacation every day!

We love living in Florida and are so happy we were able to make this change!

Married: to Steve Swartz since 1984. Many of you have met him, as he's attended all three of our reunions.

Children: two sons, ages 27 and 24, from a previous marriage. Devin, my older son, has just finished his M.A. in English and is at a loss as to what to do next! (Suggestions gratefully welcomed.....) Guthrie is still finishing his undergraduate degree and working full time. He has changed colleges several times and majors twice, so it could be a long process, but I've like to think I've reached the "whatever" stage of parenting. It's all out of our control, anyway!

Hobbies/Interests: I try to walk on the beach and swim in the pool every day. I read, constantly, and love to cook. I've been a vegetarian since 1972, and have a strong interest in healthy, meatless meals. I am also playing a lot of bridge and singing with the Delray Beach Chorale.

The love of France developed during high school French class - I landed in France in 1967. Parisians convinced me to go to Italy in 1973. I returned to the US in 1975.

I supported President Carter's environmental policy and helped start his Solar Energy and Energy Conservation Center. I met Jonna and moved back to Italy one day after election day 1980.

Catherine and Michael were born in the Vatican Hospital where I worked (investigative liver transplantation surgery in the mid 1980's, then surgical biomedical research). The children attended Italian schools. Chronic musculo-skeletal problem necessitated a sit down job, hence cognition and dementia research at the University of Virginia, Roanoke-Salem.

Married: to Jonna (Jonna teaches English as a second language to immigrant children in the Roanoke School system.)

Children: Catherine in premed, and Michael in high school.

Activities/Interests: walking in nature, canoeing, French impressionistic art, Italian culture and language, and traveling with Jonna.

Eventually, as we (Gerhard has been a consultant for more than 5 years) transition to more retirement time and less consulting, we will travel more – we want to live for several months in places we have visited (for example, Italy, New Zealand, and Spain) either by trading homes with friends or renting a house or apartment for several months.
Married Gerhard Koepf in July 1999
Two stepsons – Phil (28 and single) and Jeremy (26 and married to Jessica)
One grandson – Oskar (born 4 June 2002)
Pets – one very spoiled cat and two equally spoiled para-keets
Parents – my mother (81) lives near us in Boulder; Gerhard’s parents (91 and 86) live in Austria (we visit them at least once a year)
Activities/etc. – Skiing, hiking, and biking (have climbed Colorado’s highest mountain); trav-eling; playing the piano; gardening; cooking; and sewing, knitting and embroi-dery.

-after years in traditional Midwestern manufacturing companies, I joined 'the internet revolution' in 1999 and have worked with several internet services companies since then. Just this year, I landed a dream job as CEO of GlobalEnglish. We are the leading worldwide provider of online English language instruction and support for children and for large, global companies. As pioneers in the 'e learning' field, we have our share of marketing challenges but our sales have grown to nearly $10M and we have a great client list that includes HP, EDS, Citibank, Deloitte, Pfizer, Wells Fargo and many, many others. As I write this email, I am on a plane to Seoul, Korea to launch our new kids program for teaching English online to Korean children ages 7-12 years. We expect this product to be a huge success all over Asia where parents spend billions of dollars in after school programs to teach their children English. Our online service should revolutionize that industry;
-Dianne and I have absolutely adored our return to the Bay Area. Her parents are also still living and out here so she has become an important part of their lives again. We have a wonderful apartment on Nob Hill in the center of SF with a spectacular view of the Golden Gate Bridge. This city is so much fun to explore and we walk (or ride cable cars!!) everywhere. Needless to say, we are happy, healthy and really enjoying our 'empty nester' years.

Graduated from Penn State (67) in Art Ed. and from LaRoche College (96) in Graphic Design.

Taught art before buying a printing business in 96 where I do commercial printing and graphic design.

I enjoy riding my bike, walking and hiking, skiing, reading, sewing and music.

Married Sally Cohen in 1973. We had known each other since elementary school and grew up living several blocks from each other.
We have three sons, Chris (26), Russ (21) and Matt (19). Chris has moved out of the house, but a friend of our other two sons has moved in, so it feels like nothing has changed and we may never become empty nesters.
Hobbies/interests: I am very active in the local Presbyterian Church where I am a Stephen Minister. I also referee soccer matches and have recently gotten back into the home remodel/repair mode. I am about to go to a Porsche racing school to see if I like it/still have the reflexes. I acquired a Porsche 930 in 2000.

BA History , M.Ed. Education
Married Bob Jenkins (Nether Providence High School 1962) in 1971. We spent 7 years in Birmingham, Michigan, 3 years in Bath, Ohio, and the past 21 years in Pennsylvania. We have two boys, Russ and Robb, ages 26 and 28.
Bob, just completed his 36th year with DuPont, and enjoys his current job in sales (office at home) and the perks that go with. Last fall we moved from our house in Chadds Ford after 20 years to a smaller location in West Chester called The Mews at Radley Run - "carriage" houses along the north end of the golf course. We love the smaller space without all the yard work - we were hoping for more snow this past winter so we could watch them shovel our driveway.
I taught school on army bases in Germany; Livermore, California; private schools in Birmingham Michigan; and Bath, Ohio; then switched to a sales and marketing job when we moved to PA in 1981. In 1990 Bill Spencer and I started Spencer Graphics, a graphic design and printing company in Chadds Ford and we just celebrated our 12- year anniversary in business.July 1999 I had the great honor and fun to be Dorothy Gatewood's matron of honor at her wedding to Marv Gelb in Swarthmore. We had great fun together planning the event and it was truly a lovely wedding.

B.A. in English, Denison 1967

Military 1967-1970; Avoided Vietnam somehow and ended up doing my entire tour of duty in Germany. I was surprised how much German I remembered from Herr Schneider's class. He had always said that I was one of the best students to come through SHS.

Back in the states I started my business career in the property/ casualty insurance field with the Safeco Corp. in northern New Jersey. They pulled out of NJ three years later and I joined the Reliance Insurance Group, a Philadelphia company that has since gone under. I ended up in Indianapolis through a job transfer in 1977 and later went to work for American States Insurance which ended up being purchased by Safeco in 1997. Life's a wheel. Safeco wanted to move me to their head office in Seattle. I declined and took retirement at 55.

We are empty nesters. Maureen is still a member of the workforce. I take care of the house and yard, play golf, and do some day trading. It's not bad. I even fix the meals; but the wife did mention the other day that she was getting tired of peanut butter and jelly. Everybody's a critic.

Married: to Maureen for 13 years.

Children: 1 daughter, Courtney (by a prior marriage) born 1974 currently attends Tulane University Law School. 1 stepson, Andrew, born 1980, currently attends Indiana University.

Moved to Wallingford, Conn., home of Bobbie Wood Borne! Spent 4 years as a writer for Choate Rosemary Hall’s capital campaign. Now working for Bunting and Lyon, a publisher that puts out the annual directory Private Independent Schools.

B.A. from Amherst College in 1967
M.Phil. from Yale University in 1970

In graduate school, I became interested in population and environmental issues and founded one of the first ZPG (Zero Population Growth) chapters in the country in 1969. Through that, I ended up planning Yale’s participation in the first Earth Day in 1970. By 1971, I decided to go to work in the population field and moved to Washington, D.C., where I became director of the Youth and Student Division of The Population Institute. A year later, I met Leta Finch in Hawaii, and she moved to Washington in 1974. We married in 1975. I stayed at the Population Institute until 1979, when I became Director of Development of Planned Parenthood of Southeastern Pennsylvania. During two years there, we lived in Swarthmore.
In 1981, we moved to Vermont so I could accept a job as Associate Director of Planned Parenthood of Northern New England. After five years there, I got re-involved in international work as Executive Vice-President of Population Communications International.

In 1998, I founded Population Media Center, a non-profit organization carrying out comprehensive broadcast media programs in developing countries designed to encourage avoidance of HIV/AIDS, use of family planning, and elevation of women’s status. The organization uses a methodology of entertainment-education serial dramas originally developed in Mexico and adapted for use in numerous countries in Asia, Africa and Latin America. The web site is www.populationmedia.org

From 1995 to 1999 worked for a computer service company (TSS) which was a joint venture between IBM and Kodak. Held positions in pricing, proposal writing, as an ISO 9001 process focal point and then a systems analyst. In 1999 IBM bought the company and it became part of the IBM Global Services Division.

I own a 60 year old house in Ardmore, PA which keeps me busy with remodeling and decorating projects.

After graduating from Beloit College in Wisconsin, I came back to Philadelphia and taught junior high school in South Philadelphia for two years. I also worked for civil rights during that era. In 1966, I moved to Cambridge, MA. First I worked as a high school teacher in the suburbs of Boston, then for the City and State government as a developer of juvenile delinquency programs.
My goal was to live in New York City and be an artist. I moved here in 1972 and found out quickly that making a living as an artist in New York City was impractical. So I worked as a secretary, first non-profit, then for New York lawyers.
In the 1980's, while I was working in mergers and acquisitions, I attended The New School and got my masters degree in general psychology. I was promoted to secretarial manager and eventually started working downtown near the World Trade Center.
I met my husband, Jim, in the late 1970's and we were married in 1983. Jim and I bought our coop in Hudson Heights in 1985, where we still live.
I left downtown in the early ‘90's. In 1996 I started working as a Secretarial Manager at Fish & Neave, a patent and trademark law firm in midtown Manhattan. Intellectual Properties law is infinitely interesting and I will probably retire from this firm. But not soon.

Graduated from Furman University in Biology (67) and from University of SC in Biology (72). Separated these two periods with a two year stint in the Army, including 7 months in an infantry division in the Mekong Delta. Have worked at Riverbanks Zoological Park in Columbia, SC since graduation and will retire on 10 MAY '02 after 30, 3 weeks years service.

Have traveled extensively throughout the country, Europe and Vladivostok, lead photo safaris to Kenya, Galapagos and Manchu Pichu, and will remain associated with several conservation programs within the zoological profession for a while (years) longer. Have been a long standing adjunct professor of Biology at USC, hope to be teaching this Fall (2002).

Married: to Sylvia for 30 years as of 20 August, 2002

Member: Explorers Club of New York, Greater Piedmont Chapter; Rotary; Alumnae Council of College of Science and Mathematics, USC

Hobbies/Sports: Paleontology and fossil collecting/preparation, deer and pig hunting, fishing, gardening, Persian carpets.

Graduated Endicott Junior College as a medical secretary & lab assistant, which enabled me to work in the lab doing finger prick blood work and urinalysis.

Lived in Boston with several of my college friends and had many jobs as a medical secretary finally working for a neurosurgeon.

Moved back to PA and worked in the Mental Health Center directly across from Temple Hospital. Due to much pressure from family and fiancè I quit & worked for a urologist in Delaware County.

Married and had a son; about the time of his first birthday, my husband was diagnosed with Hodgkin's. He lived four years, and after his death I spent most of my time devoted to my son who had multiple problems.

I became very active in support groups for parents of socially and emotionally disturbed children; helped to develop services for children who had multiple learning disabilities, and for children who were emotionally disturbed without physically disabling disorders.

I remarried in 1992 to find myself involved with an abusive man. I am going through the long and tedious process of a divorce.

I worked for an international chemical manufacturing company for 22 years. Beginning as a benefits specialist, then as benefits administrator; then went into customer service.

As of the 15th of April I am officially retired.

My entire professional life revolved around computers. It started when I got a "part-time" job programming shortly after starting my studies at Swarthmore College. When I had to choose between working 80 hours a week and college, I chose work. I lived in England, just outside London for ten years from 1966 to 1976.

Back in the US, I had a couple of jobs in the publishing industry before starting my own business. Four years of trying to make PCs work in a business environment convinced my I was better off working for someone else.

13 more years in publishing gave me second thoughts and I started my present company, an Internet Service Provider, offering web hosting and design. This one is going strong after five years.

My first marriage to Dorothy produced David and Sarah. David lives nearby and I see him often. Sarah, her husband and my two year-old grandaughter live in Houston, TX.

My second wife, Sari and I live on the same property I lived on in high school. We subdivided my parents property, dug up the swimming pool and built the home we live it. Built, in this case, means with our own hands and the help of friends. For seven and a half years our weekends and evenings were spent digging, pouring concrete, laying bricks, plastering etc. I run my business from home, so I can enjoy our handiwork all day and night.

For fun Sari and I enjoy modern dance (watching it, not doing it) and our daily stroll through the Swarthmore campus.

Married: to Darrel Diset for 35 years

Children: 1 son and a wonderful grandson, whom I adore.

Pets: 1 dog

Earlham College 1967
Librarian: Wallingford Public Library

For 26 years I’ve lived “downtown” in Wallingford, CT (Louise Lichtenberg Coffin is my neighbor!) Though 40,000 strong, it has the feel of a smaller town, not unlike Swarthmore. Community is important to us and we’ve stayed involved. My library career puts me in constant touch with friends, neighbors, and town leaders. Jeff is chairman of the Conservation Commission and active in other local environmental groups.

In a nutshell: life is good, I’m still evolving, and most thankful for the fine values and memories instilled by my Swarthmore High School experience. I look forward to our reunion in 2003!

Married: to Jeff

Children: Ben (29) and Karl (24) both happily pursuing their careers

Interests/Activities: We enjoy camping/backpacking in the Southwest, vacations at the Jersey shore, and winter trips to Florida. We are so fortunate to have all four parents, with whom we visit in some of these spots.
