I'm on the Board of Directors in New York State. I've been playing tennis for the past 35 years and still going strong. I have lots of acquaintances; I met Eric in 1991 and he is the love of my life. My travels have been to faraway places...Japan and China and Europe...not so distant, Canada and Mexico and places in the Caribbean. We enjoy our home and entertain often. Still connected for all these years Lorraine and Robert Martello and with many more fellow classmates since the reunion including Barbara Weber.
