Yesterday is history. Tomorrow is a mystery. The present is a gift. Every day is a birthday.
Obtained a BS degree in Accounting. Passed the CPA exam. Earned a JD degree and was admitted to the Illinois Bar.
Married to my current and only wife for 38 years. We have two children, a young lady 27 and a young man 32, both single. I appreciate all the time and hard work of the Reunion Committee. The website is fantastic. I am sure the upcoming get-togethers will be exceptional also.  Send Jack a Message

Never try teaching a pig to sing. It wastes your time and annoys the pig.
I graduated from the U of I with a BS in electrical engineering and moved to Minnesota to work for Univac designing computer based defensive weapons systems for the Navy. I was peripherally involved with the Gemini and Apollo spacecraft guidance systems. My wife Ellie and I returned to Chicago where I continued to develop software and design systems including the first UPC cash register for grocery stores, an early hard disk subsystem for the PC and software for international bank to bank funds transfers. I was a VP of Software Development when I tired of corporate America. I started my own company and have been a software consultant for the past 16 years. My work-from-home lifestyle allows me to stay up late, sleep late, and do non-work activities during the day. I love the work I do (so why retire?).
My two biggest passions (other than Ellie) are self discovery, photography and travel. I have only travelled in 19 countries but have been to many of them multiple times. My self discovery was enhanced by being involved in marriage encounter, est, group therapy and various seminars. Having a wife who is a psychotherapist is also great for learning more about myself. I enjoy taking photos but also enjoy the post processing phase using tools like Photoshop to enhance a picture and exercise the creative potential of my right brain. I have never attended a reunion before. I am expecting to enjoy being with people I was friendly with at Senn and getting acquainted with people that weren’t in my circle back then.

Enjoy every day and take the time to stop and smell the roses!
After graduation I attended Roosevelt University for a year and then went to work. I married Eliott Josephson in 1964. We have two sons, Mark (Lea) and Scott (Toni), 3 wonderful grandsons and a beautiful granddaughter. I was a stay at home Mom for 20 years and then went back to work as an Office Manager/Executive Assistant. Eliott passed away from ALS in 2006. We had been married for 42 years. I retired in 2009 and am enjoying travel, reading, needlepoint, friends and spending time with my grandchildren.
I'm sure none of us can believe that it has been 50 years!! I am looking forward to seeing old friends.

I have enjoyed the second blooming that comes when you finish the life somewhat controlled by emotions; and suddenly find at the age of almost 70...that a whole new life has opened before you, filled with things you can think about, study or read about. It is as if a fresh sap of ideas and thoughts were rising in you. The best, truly is, yet to be.
Unfortunately, my parents were transferred to Atlanta in 1958. I graduated from a great Georgia high school and college, but never forgot my years at Senn.....included education, marriage, rearing three daughters. When the last one went to kindergarten, I began teaching third through eighth grades. During this time, my students and I were involved in writing two books, and giving back to the community with a yearly project. Half of my twenty-six years in education was spent as a Master Teacher, teaching/training student teachers. My daughters are well educated...two were business majors and one is an aerospace engineer. They are now enjoying motherhood. After my husband's death 6 years ago, I moved to SC to be nearer my daughters. At present I am really enjoying my grandchildren, a bit of traveling(off to Europe in October), working with the local Medical Alliance (my husband was a Georgia physician, and my son-in-law is a local physician), volunteering in other areas, and serving on various boards. Thank you for allowing me to celebrate the 50th reunion with you. |

Life is just a bowl of cherries, but not every one likes cherries
I met my husband Robert the end of our last year at Senn.
I was at the Morse ave. beach doing publicity for the Miss Illinois pagent, which I was a finalist in. I didn't win, but it jump started my modeling career. We moved to Ca. My husband was in the clothing business and he outfitted the stars of many T.V. shows and movies. We had a great time meeting all these celebrities. We now live in a Senior Community in Sun Lakes, Az. There are a lot of people from Chicago here. Send Gloria a Message

"One hundred years from now it will not matter what my bank account was, the sort of house I lived in, or the kind of car I drove, but the world may be different because I was important in the life of a child."
I graduated from Valparaiso University in Indiana in 1964 with a degree in physical education and history. I taught 3 years at Proviso West HS in Hillside, IL for 3 years, in Belgium for the Dept. of Defense for SHAPE (military branch of NATO) & retired after 32 years in northern CA. I was married in Frankfort, Germany and divorced in Sacramento, CA. In between I had one daughter in Maine (Heidi, 42 yr. in July) & one in California (Cathleen, turned 40 last Dec). I am active in the local chapter of American Association of University Women & participate in a book club, birdwatching, movie club & theater ushering. I belong to Root Cellar, a genealogy society & have been a complier on 2 books, one on Sac. County Marriages 1850-1906 & one on Sac. County Divorces 1850-1979. We are currently working on the Sac. County Coroner’s Register and documenting a local cemetery. I am part of my church’s media team, childcare team and coordinate email prayer requests. My passions are my grandchildren, birdwatching, genealogy and walking in this great California weather.
Kudos to the team putting this all together. I will not be attending, but have enjoyed visiting the website & walking down memeory lane and will visit it again.

Life is short and precious - handle with care.
Masters in Social Work. Over 30 years in practice. Lots of lecturing, teaching at both undergrad and graduate level.
Blessed with a wonderful spouse, Sheldon Isenberg, fantastic children, "daughter-in-love"s, and grandchildren that fill me with warmth and laughter. Interests have included travel, the arts, reading, hiking, gardening, involvement in community and synagogue. I'm currently in the process of applying to a rabbinic ordination program. When we took our "attitude and interest" inventory at Senn in our junior year, one that I ranked very high on was "clergy", but women were many years from being admitted into ordination programs. I'm "feeling out" what I want to do with this next part of my life; this is still, and even more deeply, high on the list. So --- Send Raye "Pixie" a Message

Persistance ovecomes all obstacles.
I attended the University of Illinois, earning degrees in both Architecture and Architectural Engineering and then went to the University of Michigan for Master Degrees in Architecture and in Natural Resources and Planning. I am a member of the American Institute of Architects and was elected as a “Fellow” in the American Society of Landscape Architects after serving as national vice president.
I was fortunate enough to fulfill my dream, since Boone School days, of becoming an architect. The firm I founded in 1971, THALDEN • BOYD • EMERY ARCHITECTS, has offices in St. Louis, Tulsa and Las Vegas. We specialize in the design of casinos, hotels and resorts throughout the U.S. and internationally. The firm ranks amongst the “Largest Hospitality Design Firms in the U.S.” Projects include the $250 million Buffalo Thunder Resort in Santa Fe, NM., the $200 million Casino Morongo Resort in Palm Springs, CA., the Hard Rock Casino Resort in Tulsa, OK., the theming of the Venetian Resort and Casino in Las Vegas, and the National Bowling Hall of Fame and Museum in St. Louis. Closer to Chicago, I was the architect for the Potawatomi Casino in Milwaukee and the Ho Chunk Casino Resort in Wisconsin Dells. (www.thaldenboyd.com) I enjoy writing feature articles for professional magazines and speaking at conferences. My firm has been given numerous awards and honors, and my accomplishments have been recognized in “Who's Who in America,” and “Who's Who in the World.” In 2014 I retired and live in Ashland, Oregon with my wife Kathryn when we are not traveling.
