Listen to your inner voice and believe in yourself.
After Senn, I went to the University of Illinois for
2-1/2 years and then on to Cook County Medical School of Technology. I became a medical technician and blood chemist. Married Sherwin Jarol in 1964, had two children, divorced after 10-1/2 years. Remarried in 1979 and had one more child. Started my business around 1984 and am still working it! I have two daughters and one son. I have a dog, named Dakota, who is an Akita and weighs 120 pounds. I walk him three times a day for at least two miles a walk. I love to go dancing and to the theatre, go out with friends. Traveling is also one of my favorite things to do and to spend time with my two granddaughters (age 7) and my grandson (age 8). Send Bobbi a Message

I'm much too humble to share all my enormous wisdom.
CONDENSED VERSION: It's been a great life (with more to come): wonderful marriage (to Dick Alexander, since 1977); love my family (3 step daughters, 7 grandchildren); friends; great career (Clinical Social Worker-private practice until we moved to Galena, IL; Pres. Illinois Soc for Clinical Social Work; now my own business since 1992: www.ongoodauthority.com); good health. I feel very thankful.
I'm so impressed by the tremendous accomplishments of my classmates. Kudos for the Chicago Public Schools of the 1950s! and Kudos for all of us! Send Barbara a Message

Anyone who keeps the ability to see beauty never grows old. (Kafka)
I finished an undergraduate degree at Northwestern, followed by a masters in urban planning from Loyola ten years later. Meanwhile I was married and had two daughters; twenty plus years later their dad and I divorced. For the past 14 years, I’ve had a wonderful partner. He and I have traveled as for south as Antarctica , as far west as Tibet; we’re now making plans to go to Africa.
My career path has been a zigzag--working for the Chicago Police Department, an urban planning consultancy; legislative aide to a state senator and for the past 15 years the genteel confines of the Wilmette Public Library. My library work consists of creating a community gathering place and promoting adult learning. I put together programs ranging from concerts and theatrical readings to current events discussions and support groups. The work is very gratifying and well-supported, and I have no plans to retire any time soon. My best gig, however, is being "Grandma Bonnie" to my five grandchildren, ages 18 months through 11. No plans to retire from that either! Send Bonnie a Message

I graduated from Washington University, and stayed there to do graduate work in early modern European legal history. When I was at the point of doing my dissertation, I finally realized that what I loved was the give-and-take of graduate school, and not solitary research. I taught grade school and high school sporadically, while trying to figure out what I really wanted to do when I grew up. During this time, I got married, and then divorced.
So...having already gone west to St. Louis, I next tried going east... to Boston, where my sister Lois had moved. Maybe it was feeling uprooted that made me search for some continuity, and I found it in my attraction to the study of law. I entered Boston University Law School, and felt that I had come home - it seemed not like being in college again, but actually like being in high school! We had assigned lockers and locker-mates, and at the end of every hour a bell rang and the whole section walked together to our next class. Meanwhile, Lois and her husband Neil had moved to New York for professional reasons. My nephew Alex was born two weeks before I started law school, so I now always have a reminder of how long I’ve been a lawyer. Given the appearance of this wonderful new addition to the family, I suspected that a move to another city was once more in my future. Indeed, I moved to New York for my first job out of law school, and have lived here ever since. I worked for the Criminal Appeals Bureau of the Legal Aid Society for several years, and then became a court attorney with the New York State court system, where I’ve been for over twenty years. In addition to helping judges set up jury instructions for trials and “ghostwriting” decisions, one of the most rewarding opportunities I’ve had over the past decade is working directly with people drawn into the civil and housing court systems without having a lawyer, helping people decipher the code of what’s going on around them. One day in court, while waiting for a criminal defendant to be brought in, I began talking to Fred, a probation officer. Fred and I have since been talking and “going together” for about twenty years. I’ve also become very involved with my synagogue. I’ve served on the Board of Trustees (only occasionally making legal quibbles), chaired the Adult Education Committee, and developed and taught a Hebrew course for adults. Fred and I are devoted to thoroughbred horse racing - going to the races, not riding horses. I’ve finally found a practical application for all that probability theory we did in algebra - I’m a pretty good handicapper. I am really looking forward to seeing everyone again. Send Ruth a Message
