Yes! Attending Reunion
Comments

After a successful government career, I went back to graduate school at the University of Pennsylvania, which is why I am in Philadelphia. After graduation (1993) I taught at Penn and later did consultant work for several non-profits, and for the City of Philadelphia government. My Master's Degree is in Human Sexuality and my expertise is HIV/AIDS, STI and other topics related to Human Sexuality. I still do consulting for the City when I can get a gig.
I spend my time swimming, gardening, reading and travel to DC every chance I get (I lived there for 20 years!).

I do quite a bit of volunteer work, and one of these is teaching English to Latino restaurant workers. This gives me the opportunity to keep up my teaching skills and speak Spanish with my students. I had forgotten how appreciative adult learners were - they are great! Now are they great since they are adults or Latinos? Out of 16 students, 13 are from Mexico! And no one asks about their immigration status! It is terrific living in a sanctuary city.

School Story

At the anniversary of JFK's death, I wrote an item for The Philadelphia Inquirer regarding us being in high school in Texas. It was printed and I sent it to various classmates. This event has such a trigger memory that I am sure all of us will remember this event - and all of us seating in the auditorium waiting for updates.

Whenever I think of Peggy Weiss, I think of her big, beautiful eyes. I need a picture of her!

I kept thinking of you during the French Open (610) since there were all these signs in the stadium that had the name engie all over. I kept thinking that the only person I knew named Angie was you. And then I get this email - so you were thought of fondly and with love. Enjoy your birthday - whatever you do. Love from Philadelphia, PA.

I looked at the pics for the reunion group, and my first thought was, "Who are these old people?" OK, then it hit me - we are all the same age! Anyway, it looks like you all are having fun organizing this event. Thank you so much for doing this; and it appears you are enjoying the company! I am hoping to see everyone next year. Keep up the great work.
