With many of you, I went to Central Elementary from 1st grade.
I was in that 6th grade class that was the first to be moved to the Jr. High.
After our 8th grade year, my family moved to Ft. Lauderdale FL.
But, in my mind, Hollidaysburg was always "home." Because my grandparents still lived there, we made our way back several times to visit.
I graduated from Northeast High School in Ft. Lauderdale in 1978.
In 1983, I received my B.M. in Church Music from Friends University, Wichita KS; and in 1986, a MM in Choral Conducting from Westminster Choir College.
I was involved in church music full-time from 1987-2013. By God's providence, I'm now out of full-time church work (still miss it dearly), working as a supervisor with On Board Services for Amtrak.
We've lived in North Carolina, Georgia, Maryland, and are now back in Florida since 2007.
Son David is married to Kim, joined by grandson Jonathan March 2023, living in Orlando. Son Benjamin is married to Kim (yes, it’s true; no, not the same one), joined by grandson Theodore (‘Teddy’) July 2023, living in North Palm Beach. Daughter Rachel is living in Orlando.
I'm honored to have the privilege to be included here as a "guest."
I've enjoyed looking here through what would have been my senior yearbook and seeing your pictures. Look me up on Facebook, as a few already have!
