Beth Bob

I had no known aliases while in high school nor did I have a nickname, at least not one I'd want others to know. LOL

It's hard to believe so many years have gone by since graduation. After high school, I went to college and received a MA degree from Adelphi University and a MS degree from Stony Brook.

I owned my own business for three years and also worked at Stony Brook University on the President's staff. I ultimately retired from the New York City Department of Education as Executive Director of Financial Systems and Business Operations. I am so very happy that I was able to be successful in my career.

This was accomplished while being married to Robert Knipfing and raising three boys for nearly the past 50 years. Bob and I met back in 1959 at Hicksville High.

We are the proud grandparents of eight - four wonderful girls and four boys. The boys are wonderful as well and I love all my children and grandchildren to death.

Many thanks to the reunion committee for their hard work and dedication in making our Gala Fiftieth Reunion to be held next September the best ever. I so look forward to reuniting with all my classmates.

If I had it to do all over again, I wouldn't change a thing.
