Attorney
Married

I stayed in Chicago in the same house I grew up in until 1963 when I moved to Milwaukee with my parents to help in their new business venture. I also attended Marquette Undergraduate and Law school and got my JD in 1968. I then started a practice with another attorney which lasted until 1990. We srtartd as 2 and grew to 90 when we broke up for political reasons. A goup of us (11 attorneys + paralegals) decided to stay together and we joined another firm which turned out to be a bad fit. I left in 1999 and basically have been on my own since then.
I have been married twice. The first lasted 11 years this one has lasted 30+. As they say, everything is better the second time around. I have 2 girls the oldest age 41 is a special needs child who has Tay Sachs disease, she is one of the oldest to have survived and lives in a Nursing Home. Great kid with a great attitude most of the time but no use of her limbs. The youngest is 38, was an athlete (soccer player on a ranked college team) who now is a Voc Tech. Neither are married so no granschildren.
Can't wait for the reunion but I also can't believe it's been 50 years. How time flies.

Don't waste time on things you can't control.
I received my BA in Early Childhood Education and my MA in Reading from Roosevelt University. I have been teaching second grade in Mount Prospect, Illinois.
I was married to Bernie for 43 years. Bernie and I loved to travel and we visited many wonderful places. He passed away in 2007. We had two daughters, Lysa, and Susan who passed away in 2006 at age 39. I miss them both terribly. But life goes on. My hobbies are knitting, reading and travel. Send June a Message

Try to live each day of your life to the fullest.
I went to college for 1 year. I married Jerry Levin in April 1963, then went back to college through the Board of Education where I was working for its president. I received an associate degree. I have two children, Scott born in 1966 and Debra born in 1967. I worked as a bookkeeper and secretary part time for 16 years while my children were in school. Then I worked as an office manager for a metallurgical engineer) and the secretary to an insurance company vice-president for over 16 years until I retired in 2008.
I love to bowl, golf and play Maj Jongg (I go to many tournaments). I was PTA president for 2 years and B`nai Brith president for 2 years. I am very involved Jewish Women International which was previously BBW. My husband passed away in 1996 and in 2005 I met this wonderful gentleman (Burt Lasky) who is going to become my husband on July 4th, 2010. I have 5 wonderful grandchildren - 4 granddaughters and one grandson who married last year and gave me Cooper a precious great grandson. My life is now complete. Burt and I love to travel - we have gone to Alaska, Hawaii and on many cruises. I have also been to Paris, London and Italy.

I'll have to think about this, there are so many. I will try to figure it out by the time the reunion rolls around.
I graduated with a degree in journalism and political science from Syracuse University,which I might add is the only school with a piece of fruit for a mascot. But, I digress. Anyway, I published a trade publication in the floral industry for 25 years and now I am perfecting the art of not having any time to work at all.
Looking forward to seeing everyone. Bet we look better than ever.
However I do find time for freelance writing and editing. I have traveled extensively and generally am so busy with friends and events that I don't know how I ever found time to work full time. I live in Glenview and am still happily single. Send Barbara a Message

I'm still learning!
Married almost 38 years to Anne w/twin boys 35 years old. Anne recently became a Marriage & Family Therapist after years of Non Profit Management.
Both boys live in CA nearby. One is an attorney for Jones Day and recently got engaged and the other is in Finance at Davita, a public kidney dialysis co. Graduated SIU in Carbondale and then worked for Motorola as a finacial anaylist. Shortly thereafter went into the retail record business around the Chicago area. After opening and managing 6 stores, I went into wholesale distribution of records. In the 80's added video and opened up 12 Warehouse/Branches to serve approximately 9,000 accounts. Eventually got into the DVD business in the late 90's and moved to LA. I still license and distribute DVD's plus added a post production studio recently. Play golf every week (sometimes w/Dennis Fields)- great weather out here; however, still miss the people I grew up or worked with and will always miss Chicago and their sports teams. I recently did a documentary film and DVD "Hello Again Everybody" on Harry Caray, the late sports announcer, for all you Cub Fans. Send Noel a Message

(I probably should have collected more of these)
Got off to a very good start: married Dale. Medical school, a year in Viet Nam, and eventually ran a dialysis unit in Highland Park, -- for 25 years (way too long). Retired 3 years ago. We bought an apartment in the city and I'm now teaching a bit at Northwestern medical school, and loving it. Seems like a different city from the one we grew up in.
Two sons and 4 grandchildren, who like to putter around my workbench, and play basketball with me (I always lose). Travelled a bit, especially to Italy: Dale's a great travel agent. Still play some tennis, bicycle; still interested in medicine, politics, the arts. I've been looking through some of the bios posted: I am chagrined to find that I had forgotten what good friends I had 50 years ago. Looking forward to catching up with you guys in June.

Go as far as you can see and when you get there you can see further
has been an incredible journey. I am grateful that I am still connected to my dear Grammar School and High School friends as well as the many new friends I have met along the way. Thanks to Arde for getting me and the gang out of class to explore life on the outside. It helped to prepare me for what was yet to come.
My passion is fundraising and as I look forward to each event, I am reminded of all the charity dances we put on while in High School. I have fond memories of High School (when I was there) and especially the memories of everyone I left behind. I am so looking forward to seeing all of you. Send Donna a Message

Life is not a dress rehearsal.
I married, divorced and re-married. We have three children and five wonderful grandchildren-ranging in age from 2 to 12, four boys and one "princess."
It's hard to believe that it's been 50 years. I thought 50 year reunions were for "old folks".
On the work front, I spent many years as a teacher-and then went into the financial markets about 35 years ago. My husband and I are Registered Investment Advisors in the State of New Mexico. We moved out here in 1997 and it is a wonderful lifestyle. Life is good. Send Iris a Message
