My Life Since Senn ...: 1960 was a very eventful year for me. In February I met my future husband, Ted Darch. In May we got engaged, in June I graduated, and in December we got married. We have two wonderful daughters. Maxine is vice-president of a market research firm in Chicago. She is married, and has 3 grown step-children. Susan is a full-time wife and mother of two boys, and has written 2 books, which she is hoping will be published. So if anybody knows anybody in this field, all help is welcome. After being home with my girls for ten years, I went to work for a manufacturing company in Skokie and stayed for 31 years. We did a great deal of traveling. I retired in April, 2002, and I love it. We have a home in Wellington, Florida, where we like to visit several times during the year. I enjoy playing Mah Jongg and spending time with my family, particularly my 2 grandsons, Austin, 17, and Logan, 12. My best friend from high school, Lorna Galpin Schufeldt, is still my best friend today, and we both cherish this.

Your Favorite Piece Of Wisdom: It's always easier to ask forgiveness than permission.
My Life Since Senn ...: A bachelor's and master's degree from the U of I led to a 35 year career at Arthur Andersen. A year before taking early retirement, I applied to the Univ of Chicago and went on to earn a master's degree in Jewish Studies. A love of research and a history of public speaking led to a few years of lecturing in American Jewish History and then, almost by accident, a couple of years of lecturing on Old-Time-Radio.

Susie (Merlander) and I are married 42 years with two daughters. One is a rabbi and the other left a career for an advanced degree at Northwestern and is now back in the job market. Susie has had two careers -- high school teacher and administrator for a national adult Jewish education program.

I've served on the national board of the Union for Reform Judaism, the Cincinnati board of the Hebrew Union College - Jewish Institute of Religion, and as president of the Board of Jewish Education of Metropolitan Chicago.

We love to travel. Someday, my play script will see the light of day.

Your Favorite Piece Of Wisdom: Greet each day with enthusiasm!
My Life Since Senn ...: After graduation, I obtained my degree in accounting in 1964 and married my first wife, Edie Rachlin the same year. I worked as an accountant and corporate controller in the Chicago area for the next 20 years. I left the accounting profession to find a new career and ended up starting my own insurance agency in the Chicago area. My first wife and I divorced. Shortly thereafter I met and married my wonderful wife Michelle. Between us we have 5 children and 7 grandchildren; they are all in the Mid-West. Michelle and I moved to Cape Coral, Florida in 1987 and moved the business with us. That was probably the best decision we have ever made. We love it here.

Unfortunately, I won't be making the reunion. The committee has done an outstanding job of putting this book of memories together. Thank you.

Your Favorite Piece Of Wisdom: Keep laughing!
My Life Since Senn ...: Well, I gave up my high school dream of becoming an actress (despite my triumphant performances as a Chinese marriage broker and a Russian countess in Players) to become (what else) an elementary school teacher. A Master's Degree in counseling failed to get me out of the classroom, so after about 14 years, it was a choice between another year of teaching or my sanity. I chose the latter, going into publishing and eventually becoming managing editor of a trade magazine. Recently I semi-retired, though I still write for the magazine part time at home and do a little freelance writing as well. I live in the city near the lake, love to play bridge and tennis, have wonderful friends and family, and am enjoying life. There were some good times in high school, but this stage of life has much less anxiety!
