Life and Family: I went to work for a instrument maker soon after leaving U.City High and have been on more or less the same path ever since. I moved to New Hampshire in 1986, married the beautiful daughter of a yankee farmer and settled down to make mandolins in the rural community of Nottingham. Life is very good..... |
Life and Family: I am most proud of my two children, Sam and Maddy. Sam is a junior at Indiana University and plays Ice Hockey, along with majoring in Finance in the Kelly School of Business. Maddy is a senior in high school at Ladue and plays field hockey and works at Sportsman's Park. Both participated in Youth Leadership St. Louis. I served 6 years on the Ladue School Board, have been a St. Louis County Municipal Judge for the past 14 years, and am also President of Missouri Municiapl and Associate Circuit Judges Association., this year. I am married to Donna Camien Adler, a 1973 Ladue graduate |
Spouse: Penny Neuman Alper Phone number: (314) 878-8075 E-mail address: marc.alper@alperaudi.com Present occupation: Structural Engineer/Principal & President of Alper Audi, Inc.
Life and Family: Life's been very good, and we do enjoy it to the fullest. Fortunately we're all healthy, happy and comfortable. We have 3 great kids, mostly grown up now. Greg, the youngest, is a sophomore in engineering at Bradley University; Laura (28, MA in Journalism from Mizzou) just got married and is a director in Chicago of various cable-channel documentaries (she was nominated for an Emmy for a National Geographic series about 9/11); and David (32, MBA from SLU) has his own successful business a few blocks from U City HS making beautiful glass jewelry, mezzuzahs, keepsakes, neon and artwork. I anticipate a wedding for him sometime soon. Penny "retired" several years ago from teaching and as a Parent Educator for Parkway School District, and now is a heavy-duty volunteer. She is now the President of J-Associates, an active group at the JCC.
My work has been great, and I still enjoy it immensely. My firm, Alper Audi, (not a car dealership - my business partner is Andre Audi) is a vibrant, growing structural engineering firm, currently with 26 people. Working for architects, contractors, developers, and owners we design a wide variety of buildings for commercial, industrial and institutional projects with a construction value of nearly $1 Billion dollars each year. Designing office buildings, schools, hospitals, university buildings, condominiums, distribution centers, arenas, hotels, theme parks, manufacturing, retail and mixed-use centers and more, (some of them award winners too), keeps it very interesting and challenging. Some local projects that you might recognize include CBC High School, Shaw Park Place, St. Louis Ram's Practice Facility, Alberici's Headquarters (rated the "greenest" building in the world), SLU Arena, The Crescent condominiums, The Boulevard (Maggiano's etc.), the Galleria and lots of others. We are very proud that Alper Audi received an award from the American Subcontractors Association as Best Architect/Engineer in St Louis, the first year they gave out the award. I am licensed to practice in over 30 states, and more than half of our work is outside of the St Louis area.
I have gotten myself over-volunteered as well - but it's all good stuff, and I am honored to also have received several community service awards. I am the Chairman of the St. Louis Men's Group Against Cancer (a wonderful charitable organization; BTW our main event Sports Dinner is November 6, 2006, check out www.mensgroupagainstcancer.org); Vice-Chairman of the Jewish Community Center and active in the reconstruction and revitalization of the J's campuses; I am the most recent past-Chairman and former National Director of the American Council of Engineering Companies (MO), and a former officer and director of our synagogue. I am also a director of Enterprise Bank & Trust in Clayton. Volunteering has been very rewarding and has allowed us to make new friends and reconnect with old ones.
Penny and I have a fantastic condominium and boats at the Lake of the Ozarks, and go there whenever we can. I also try to ski (Colorado & Utah mostly) several times a year, and occasionally I golf, (not well).
Next 10 Years: I'm looking forward to being a Grandfather, (can you believe that we're all that age?), and being able to play more and travel more for fun. But because I still enjoy my work, I expect to continue working for a while longer.
Favorite Memories: All of the good friends and the fun, Wig-wam, Hamburger Heaven, (before cholesterol I used to be able to actually eat real hamburgers and fries with that secret sauce), and my red VW convertible. |
Life and Family: 12 years ago my husband and I semi-retired from the telecommunications industry and moved to Oklahoma. We bought a small ranch and operated a cow/calf operation. In addition we started raising horses and breeding. We had some good years and some bad and last fall we decided to downsize. We have quarterhorses and a few paints and they keep us busy. |
Spouse: Caroline Enderle Barber
Life and Family: The past 10 years have been interesting. Within a month after our 30th reunion, I went through a reasonably friendly divorce. Interestingly, the reunion and the divorce were unrelated events! Fortunately, within the year, I met and began dating a great lady (Caroline) who I ultimately married. We’ve now been married for over 4 years and life is great! Favorite Memories: I loved playing football at U. City. We were even a good football team during my junior year – at least for four games. After that, we tanked! Anyway, I loved the game, the game days and the camaraderie of playing with the team. I even loved and appreciated our coach, the famous Stub Muhl. When I tell people that my high school football coach played with Red Grange, there’s usually total disbelief. Hey, they played college football in the early 1920’s! |
Earl H. Barge ![]() Spouse: Sheila Applebaum Barge Phone number: (314) 606-1803 E-mail address: ebarge@charter.net Present occupation: Drug court Administrator

Life and Family: I'm so blessed to have a wonderful family that is my pride and joy and is the most important part of my life. My husband of 25 years, Bill, has a small consulting firm specializing in compensation consulting of which I am an active participant. It's been both challeging and liberating having our own business. Bill is also an adjunct professor in the MBA programs at both Maryville University and Webster University. |
Life and Family: Not much to report. I'm still in Destin playing golf, reading, boating. I now have two grandchildren-Tyler 4 and Reagan 2. My daughter's been married for 8 years to Mike who teaches at Maplewood; Amy is celebrating her tenth anniversary as a salesman at KTVI. I look forward to seeing a lot of people I'm sure I won't recognize. |
Next 10 Years: Now that my kids are grown, and I am very happily married and working just part-time, I look forward to having more time to spend on the important things in lifefamily, friends, and smelling the roses. I believe in taking one day at a time and making the most of itfilling each day with love, learning, and living. Favorite Memories: My favorite memories are of the people and friendships. The activities that stand out most in my mind are being in Dr. Procasky's chorus and shows, being a Camp White Cloud counselor, planning the GAA Big Sister/Little Sister picnics, going on the Washington DC trip and going to Wigwam each Friday night. |
Phone number: (314) 576-4036 E-mail address: jblackt@sbcglobal.net Present occupation: semi-retired teacher
Life and Family: The last ten years have brought many changes in my life. After 31 years of teaching in Parkway School District (primary grades and more recently as a reading specialist), I took "early retirement" two years ago. I guess, however, I wasn't quite ready to retire. Since then, I've continued to be employed by Parkway accepting long term substitute assignments for reading specialists. Last year I job-shared a reading specialist position. It was the best of both worlds doing what I loved but only part time! I divorced 5 years ago after 26 years of marriage. It's been quite an experience dating in the 21st century. I'm enjoying my independence and have discovered new inner strengths. My two greatest joys are my children. Julia is 27 and is a strings teacher in Rockwood School District in St. Louis. She married a wonderful man last year, and I'm thrilled that they have chosen to remain in St. Louis. My son, Jordan, is 20 and starting his junior year in college. Like his sister, he is also a music major. He wants to either be a choral director or arrange and compose music. He currently sings in 3 different university choirs and has started a men's a cappella group. The best thing about having musical children is attending all their concerts. My son recently sang in Prague, Budapest, and Vienna, and I spent two weeks traveling to those cities to hear him sing. Next 10 Years: I've been very blessed thus far. My life with family, friends, and career, has been rich and rewarding. I'd like to continue to teach reading part time or privately tutor. Although I've traveled extensively, there are still many places in the world (and even in the U.S.) that I hope to visit. I'd like to "smell the roses" more and enroll in some college or continuing ed. classes for fun. I'd also like to give back to the community by doing more volunteer work. Of course I'm so envious of all my classmates who are already grandparents. I hope I have that opportunity when the time is right. Finally, I'd like to eventually leave the dating scene behind and meet that "someone special" to share my life. Favorite Memories: It wasn't until I was much older and had children of my own that I fully realized how fortunate I was to have attended such an amazing high school. I remember with fondness orchestra with Mr. Lang, playing in the musical "Sound of Music", the stimulating biology class with Mr. Jackoway, and Mrs. Gottlieb's challenging English class. I relished all the football games when we cheered in the stadium wearing our black derbies with the yellow feathers and shaking our black and gold pom-poms. I remember decorating the gym and turning it into a magical place before school dances. Best of all I cherish the lasting friendships with classmates who are still my very special friends |
Phone Number: (630) 924-7538 Life and Family: I have been able to remain in relatively good health. I have spent the last 25 years in and around the automobile industry. I travel 2-3 days a week around the country visiting Honda and Acura Dealers and working with them on Customer Service. I've been fortunate enough to have been in the company of more than one woman who enjoys my company, as I do theirs. All in all I have no complaints. |
Life and Family: I'm still blessed with a wonderful family - wife Sandy - children: Adam 28 (wife Gretchen), Michelle 26 (husband, Jason), and Rick almost 19, who still seem to love me despite my faults and bad jokes. 2 year old grand-daughter, Lily, brings smiles to all our hearts and our "due any day" grandson will add to that. Sandy and I are very happy with the people our children have grown to become and I'm not sure we could ask for anything more than that. |
Life and Family: Married 34 years...two kids...one an English teacher at a boarding school in rural Massachusetts…the other is graduating from MICDS (Mary Institute Saint Louis Country Day School) and will be attending the University of Denver in the Fall. Formerly worked as a tax attorney for your friends: the Internal Revenue Service. After that, I was an officer with Kimberly-Clark for many years in up-state Wisconsin. I have been back in St. Louis and at the family business for the last 22 years. Achieve Next 10 Years: Keep breathing. |
Life and Family: We celebrated our 31st wedding anniversary ('06)- Daughter Gena Ph.D.(cellular structural biology-Don't ask) Daughter Iris M.A. cultural anthropology. Both married good guys. We still have the same house of 30 years,our 24 year old Sven, our 18 year old Inge and our 10 year old Tria (our Volvos). Linda and I still like to go out and "shake a tail feather" every now and then (she hates it when I twirl her)still try to run on weekends for endurance for hopefully a long life together. Still have our sights on Italy. |
Life and Family: I married my high school sweetheart, Debbie Heinze (class of '65). We have 3 wonderful kids, 2 girls and a boy. They ages are 32,30, & 28. They're all college grads and I'm very proud of them. I have 4 grand-kids with the 5th one due this month. Unfortunately, after 20 years of marrage we divorced in 1988. I ran wild for several years, I guess because I married at the age of 21. I love county music and dance. I danced several days a week. I met a very nice young lady (Melody) several months after my devorce. We became friends and danced a lot. Unfortunatly for me she was married and I respected her situation. Her husband didn't like county music or dancing either. He didn't mind his wife dancing with me. Over the following years I had a few relatonships, but after 20 years of marrage, I wasn't looking for any commitments. Melody and I remained friends for a long time. Unknown to me at the time, she devorced in 1992. We began dating some, and after a bad divorce to her second husband the last thing she wanted was a relationship. It was kind of nice because we where both on the same page with that situation. Our friendship began to grow and so did our relationship. In August of 1996 we where married. I think that our long friendship made a big differance. We sure got to know each other very well before we decided to get married again. She is the center to my world and we're both very happy.I look forward to gorwing old with her. |
Spouse: Marcia (U City '67) Life and Family: Marcia and I have been busy sending our four children to college for the last 10 years. Our oldest daughter Tara is 32, Emily is 31, Brent is 28 and Justin is 25. Tara lives in Lyons, CO where she practices Chinese Medicine and Acupuncture. Emily lives in Boulder, CO and is a special education teacher at the middle school. My son Brent, shares the honors with me at Brock Auto and my other son, Justin is in commercial real estate in We have just celebrated our 35th wedding anniversary and still going strong. We have just become Grandparents for the first time to a beautiful granddaughter, Cora Lily. We spend a lot of time in Colorado visiting our children and skiing in Telluride. Golf has become a big part of our life and we spend many hours trying to improve our skills. Work is still fun and I do not see an end to that in the near future. I still need the action. Next 10 Years: Looking forward to many more grandchildren and a lot of pars. LIFE IS GOOD. |
Life and Family: Seven years ago Len and I purchased a condo in Naples, Florida. We live in an area called Pelican Bay, 1/2 mile from the ocean. We spend the winter there. We have been lucky to make some special European trips in the last 10 years including England, France,Monaco, and Italy. We especially enjoyed the art, history and the food in these places. My hobbies include golf, bike riding, and reading for pleasure. Other interests include the St. Louis symphony and Broadway shows. I have had Lasik surgery which has eliminated the need for glasses. We visit Chicago often as both of our children live there. |
Spouse: Bruce Reznick (U.City '65)

Spouse: Norma Ungs Buchwach Phone number: (913) 491-1110 E-mail address: doc2708@aol.com Present occupation: facial plastic surgeon
Life and Family: I have a life with very few complaints. Not that it would be my nature to complain anyway. My wife says I can see the good in everything. By the way I have the same wife and the same two daughters. Norm (she hates Norma) and I have been married 31 years. She is the boss and I have never been confused about that nor have I ever tried to overthrow her regime. Abby is 22 and just graduated from the University of Michigan. She is applying to medical school. Allison is 20 and is a junior at Michigan. She has only a few clues as to what she wants to do in the future. Both girls have been great and really haven't caused us any anxiety...yet.
We live in the same house in Leawood a suburb of Kansas City. My practice is entirely facial cosmetic surgery. I work until 1:30 each day and then play golf or do clinical research. I am the principal investigator for the new Botox that should be out in (oops, I can't say when, but tell your wrinkles help is on the way).
I continue to run and did the Chicago Marathon a few years ago. My muscles spasms immediately afterward were significant enough that if anyone had yelled "hey pretzel man" I know who they meant.
Next 10 Years: I plan to continue to work as long as it is enjoyable. I hope my daughters find guys who don't have "love" or "hate" tattooed on their knuckles. I also prefer that they don't get those tattoos as well.
Wishing for good health is pedestrian. I really am hoping for much more. Specifically a better golf game. Good health is much easier to achieve than good golf.
Favorite Memories: White Cloud and legitimately missing school both years. Rinaldi's and Nino's. The strip. Joe Hale. Miss Bowers (actually I went to her apartment near Union Station...not alone of course). Beating Ladue and Clayton at anything. A real sense of pride in a wonderful school with so many terrific classmates who excelled at many things not just good grades. |
Life and Family: Enjoyed watching my 2 daughters grow into adulthood. |
Life and Family: I work for Bulova Corp.(NY). I've been married to Patti Silverman UC'72 for 30 Years. We have 2 sons Tim 29 and Tony 26. Both have graduated college UMSL & Mizzou, respectively. Patti & I became proud Grandparents May 27. This is our first. His name is Aidan Patrick Carney (what a great Irish name.) Relax, he's 1/4 Jewish. |
Spouse: Steve Korenblat Life and Family: I have recently retired after having worked for over twenty years as an attorney for the federal court of appeals in St. Louis. My husband is a real estate attorney in a large St. Louis law firm. Our daughter Rachel practices law in New York City. Our son Josh is not an attorney, but a writer and an artist. After working six years in the art department of National Geographic Magazine in Washington DC and receiving a master's in fiction writing, he is now enrolled in a master's in teaching program at Brown. Next 10 Years: To spend time with family and friends and to travel. To spend time with family and friends and to travel. |
Life and Family: The past 10 years brought me more frequently to St. Louis, since my son and daughter both attended Washington University. My daughter now lives in New York, and my son, after a 2-year extension in St. Louis, will be moving back to the DC area this year. In 1996, after 22 years of teaching elementary school, I switched to teaching government/economics in a middle school. I wish I had done this 10 years earlier, since I feel teaching 13 & 14 year olds is definitely my "calling". 9/11 changed all our lives. Watching the events unfold on TV that morning with my students was their "Nov. 22nd" moment. (My guess, each of us remembers exactly where we were during our sophomore year at UCHS upon hearing the news.) This event helped me teach my students to distinguish between things that are important and those that are trivial. |
Life and Family: After being divorced since '92, I found renewed happiness and remarried in 2005. My 3 daughters are in their 20's and living on their own (no grandchildren yet though!), so Norm and I are still working hard, he with his trailer business and I still teaching French at Webster Groves High School, and we enjoy traveling to Florida and elsewhere. |
Life and Family: My husband, Steve, and I live in Scottsdale, Arizona with our rescue animals—our giant schnauzer, Vey; our German shepherd/Rhodesian ridgeback mix, Lox; and our cat, Tova. We have two sons. Our oldest lives in St. Louis with our two terrific grandchildren, Emma 4 and Samuel 2, who we see fairly often (aren’t webcams great!). Our younger son lives in Phoenix and is still a work in progress. I completed my degree in secondary education, obtained a certificate in mediation and started my own business called, Go Teambuilders. I was president of my synagogue for four years. I also work back office in my husband's ophthalmology practice. I survived being held at gunpoint the gunman used a 9 mm Glock. I have my Concealed Weapon permit. (I wanted to buy a Winchester pump shotgun, but the guy at Sports Authority talked me out of it). Most importantly, my family is extremely close. Favorite Memories: Wigwam, chorus (Dr. Pro was one of a kind), Hamburger Heaven, junior/senior prom with Sandy Friedman, the senior play, football games, Jerry Kreisman, Cyrano's, Camp White Cloud, Imo's Pizza, Gaslight Square. |

Spouse: Bob Tegman (U. City '65) Present occupation: retired Life and Family: We have three beautiful granddaughters, Maya, Abigail and Lilah. Abby lives in Deerfield, Illinois with my daughter. Our son lives in Chesterfield with Maya & newborn, Lilah. They are such joys to us and have given us such pleasure. We recently moved after 31 years in Greentrails to a villa off Conway in Chesterfield called "Conway on the Grove." It was a wonderful move for us and has changed our lives. My husband & I are retired and we have been traveling the past ten years to Europe, Alaska, Panama Canal, Caribbean and nine cruises to various countries. We have been enjoying life and have celebrated 36 married years together.
|
Life and Family: We have 2 children who are married and we have 3 grandsons. We have lived in South Florida, North Jersey, and Chicago. We have traveled extensively and now have retired to South Florida. We enjoy golf, travel, and a country club lifestyle. |
Life and Family: The past 10 years have been quite the same as my last 39-1/2 years, except I lost both parents (1992 and 2000). I married a few times, but they didn't work and now I'm married to Mark S. Levitt (since 1987), who is an attorney and Municipal Judge and prosecutor. We have had no kids (my kids are my 2 lab puppies, 4 cats and fish). My biological clock went too fast. I've worked since 1968 as a legal secretary/administrative assistant. I started my own business in 1989 and it went quite well until 9/11 and then things went downhill. I then had to work for attorneys and it wasn't fun. I was used to being self-employed and doing "my own thing". Last summer I started a website, www.catlovers.us, and because it was a "niche" site, it hasn't done very well either. (Do I hear some negativity?) On the positive side, I did reunite with Barbara Tennenbaum Steinman and she has been keeping me abreast of things going on in the world of U.City66. It's nice to talk to someone who remembers Steak & Shake drivebys, Hamburger Heaven, streetcars, when a mouse was something you caught in a trap, when gas was $.19.9(!!!), etc. |
Life and Family: I am Professor of Biostatistics and Head of the Section on Research Methods and Clinical Trials at the UAB School of Public Health. I am involved in a variety of different medical research studies, graduate education and run the coordinating centers for a number of multicenter clinical trials. A great deal of my most recent work is in Multiple Sclerosis and other neurological diseases. I have been married for 36 years to another UCitian, Sharon Gornek from the class of '65, enabling me to have the experience of seeing a 40 year reunion as an interested bystander. I t's nice to see how age mellows some and how the treasures of our formative years survive. Sharon and I have 3 wonderful children and two grandchildren. My daughter Corey is an attorney in Atlanta; Sons Scott and Todd and their wives, Gisella and Ana, and daughters Liana and Maya, all live in Costa Rica, where they have tour and real estate businesses and welcomed visits now and then from (!) some U City Indians! |
Life and Family: Have been married 36 years and have 2 grown children, both living in St.Louis. David and I have been on an adventure the last 10 years...turning 50, he decided to change careers, becoming a college professor, which took us to Fargo, ND, Stillwater,O.K. (where he received his phd in marketing at Oklahoma State) and now Atlanta,GA, where he teaches in the business school at Clayton State University. When we were married he told me we would go to neat places, but never did I imagine I would leave St. Louis...I work presently in midtown Atlanta for a dentist, part time. |
Life and Family: Nancy and I have been married for 34 years. We have 1 son, Barry, now 28, living in Clearwater Beach, Florida. He does not seem to be getting the message that we want grandchildren (now). |
Spouse: Paul Jacobson Phone number: (414) 332-8848 E-mail address: lej24@aol.com Present occupation: Volunteer Coordinator, Milwaukee Youth Symphony Orchestra
Life and Family: It has been a time of immense change. In the last 10 years, both our children have gone to college, graduated, gone to graduate school, found jobs, moved away (one away from Milwaukee) and one has gotten married. A lot of happy changes. But also, in the last 10 years, both my mother and my sister have passed away. And the loss of each left an empty place in my life which I know I will never fill. What treasures family is, and how much we take it all for granted. As I once heard on a radio ad, "Call your mama; I wish I could call mine."
Next 10 Years: Now that our kids are (semi) launched, my husband Paul and I hope to do some living for ourselves in the next 10 years. He will retire at some point from his job as a pension lawyer for a Milwaukee law firm, and I will give up my part time delightful job as an administrator for young musicians and their families at the Youth Symphony. We are both lucky to be relatively healthy and enjoy many activities, so we will travel and continue to learn new skills and pursue new avenues.
Favorite Memories: Don't know where to start. I remember having fun with Lynne Spiegelberg and making posters in her basement for all kinds of school activities. I remember being in "The Music Man" and enjoying "The Boyfriend" and "The Sound of Music". I remember remarkable teachers, Mrs. Gottleib, Miss Bowers and others. And lots of faces from McKnight School on...can't wait to see you again! |
Life and Family: Perry and I have successfully launched our son and daughter both to Chicago. I retired 6-05 from 30 hrs. teaching HS Biology loved my career and am now a science tutor and study skills consultant and enjoying planning my own schedule! My husband retired and began a 2nd career, so we are busy but fulfilled! Have recently moved my folks from St. Louis to Springfield, IL area and that occupies lots of my attention. I successfully fought breast cancer in 2002-03 and am doing very well at present. We are very close to our family, love traveling, and I love maintaining my UCity contacts, as well as my Indiana Univ. connections. Been married since 1970 guess that is an accomplishment I am proud of, too! Our son Matt is getting married in May, 2007(graduated from U of Ill. and Duke MBA) and our daughter Stacy (Univ. of Arizona graduate) is in process of re-locating to Chicago and is actively job-hunting in banking, so both of our kids will be in same city |
Life and Family: Actually I'm going to go back a lil' bit more than 10 years ago.... From 1972-1975, I lived in Israel, trying to make aliyah, but ended up back in St. Louis, MO with my (then) 8-1/2 month old daughter, Galia, and husband Shai, from whom I'm now divorced (since 1992). Next 10 Years: In the next 10 years, I would like to be more proficient in my Hebrew, doing at least one, maybe two, haftarah a year. I would also like to finish this book that I've been working on, get it published, and then start on a new one. Of course, I would like to be on the BEST SELLER's LIST, too!! (smile) Favorite Memories: Some of my favorite memories include being in Mr. McKinney's chemistry class. He was NOT the typical teacher. He actually made learning (chemistry) fun. I liked going to Washington, D.C. on my senior trip, tho' don't ask me too much about it, cuz the memory is a bit fuzzy there. (smile)I
liked being a part of the Esperanto Club... it was fun being able to speak a language other than those required in school. Surprisingly, my French became so much better AFTER I finished high school, than while I was there (sigh). |

I have 3 kids (Brandon-28 and a career Navy man, Katie-26 and an aspiring elementary teacher, and Kim-22 and a recent Ohio U grad.) I also became an avid motorcycle enthusiast (some would call me a biker now). |
Phone number: (212) 233-3418 E-mail address: suellen.nyc@mindspring.com Present occupation: Business owner, Teacher.
Life and Family: Blessed with good health, great friends, all of my siblings (8) and my classy Mom (still weaving, quilting and entertaining in her new home, NO stopping her!) We lost Dad in 2002, Dr Epstein to many of you. The big change has been the 9/11 disaster and its immediate and continuing effects to my neighborhood of 33 years. And the many unimagined lessons learned there. Need I say more? Next 10 Years: I rarely set goals. I don't remember ever planning anything more than 3 months in advance.
Favorite Memories: Getting kicked out of Jacobe's class, often. Miss Patterson's wonderful Latin class. Chinese class. Timer at the swim meets. Scuba lessons in the natatorium. The social life. |
Spouse: Barbara Sundheimer Extein Life and Family: I have a very busy private practice involving office and hospital work, and I still find psychiatry fascinating. Barbara and I continue to try to keep up with 4 wonderful children, ages 18 to 27, all still in various stages of education. I never really dreamed in high school how satisfying parenthood could be. I'm still a sports nut, playing JCC basketball and following the Cardinals and the Miami Hurricanes, and enjoying the hot weather of south Florida when I get a chance. Next 10 Years: Just keep it all going, and get some grandchildren. Favorite Memories: All the bright, wonderful friends. Mr. Jackoway's bio class, Mrs. Gottlieb's English class and lively debates. Our tennis team. Pizza. |
Spouse: Doyle Pryor (U City 1966) Phone number: (212) 838-6874 E-mail address: amfnyc@aol.com Present occupation: Executive Director
Life and Family: I am still working as the Executive Director of a small trade association. I did get married--it took moving to New York to meet a man from Kansas City. My husband is one of the staff attorneys for the Major League Baseball Players Association, so I have learned more about baseball than I ever hoped to. I became the proud stepmother of two interesting young men and watched them mature to adults. One, the rock star, has given us two very entertaining grandchildren with one more on the way.
Next 10 Years: During the next 10 years I would like to retire from my everyday job and spend more time doing my volunteer work with NY Cares; it is much more rewarding. |
Life and Family: Come to the reunion and find out. |

Life and family : Our two kids have grown and have gone on to successful careers: Amy as a first grade school teacher in St. Louis, and Adam as business manager for Enterprise Rent-a-Car in Montgomery, AL. Joyce is extrememly active in the Green Valley community, both volunteering and as Exec Director of a large non profit. My work keeps me busy, managing world wide supplier sourcing for the world's largest garage door opener manufacturer. I travel to China twice a year, to visit my staff there and work with suppliers. I have continued my trumpet playing that I started 50 years ago in U City. I am in 4 groups, and was recently featured in a full page write up in the Green Valley News (www.gvnews.com). Favorite Memories: The friends I made, especially in band; Roger Warner and all the great music we students made; the 1964 Midwest Band Clinic the band attended in Chicago, where we met Doc Severnsen and Meredith Willson. |
Life and Family: My success is my family. I have been married for over 35 years to Soozi who has been the love of my life. As a matter of fact Fred Miller fixed us up and because of that it took me over 25 years to talk to that SOB, Fred, again. Soozi and I have a daughter, Julie, who has been married for over 4 years to a wonderful man, Tim. Our son, Brian, who has lived in Houston for the last 2 years, has a new job and has just moved back to Dallas. Soozi, Julie and I all work together as realtors in the Dallas area. I am a fortunate man that I work with my two favorite women in my life and that we still all get along. So if you ever need a realtor in the Dallas area give us a call or visit our web site: soozifinkelstein.com |
Life and Family: I’ve been at the NASA Langley Research Center in Hampton, Virginia, since 1979 doing atmospheric chemistry research—specifically how to use satellites to measure air pollution. In general, it’s been a fantastic job as I’ve had the freedom to pursue topics of my own choosing (as long as I can get NASA funding to support the work). Whereas many of my ideas were out of the mainstream 20 years ago, they’ve generally been accepted and we are now trying to sell a satellite to the country that is dedicated to measuring air pollution from space (rather than use currently orbiting satellites that were originally designed to do other things). The job has allowed me to travel a lot (probably too much!) as the global atmospheric chemistry business is inherently an international endeavor. Our daughter, Melissa (24), graduated from the University of North Carolina at Wilmington this past December, and is working as a recreational therapist at a residential hospital for adolescents with autistic and emotional disorders. I think being a member of our somewhat atypical family has brought her a special gift for working with this population. Sue is a reading specialist for 1st and 2nd graders at the Poquoson Primary School where she works with at-risk children. In 2005, we became foster parents for one of her students and it really opened our eyes as to how disadvantaged some children are because of their home environment. We also now have first-hand information that has shown us the complicated character of the traditional “nature vs. nurture” argument. Outside the family, Sue and I enjoy playing bridge and getting out whenever we can. We belong to the Poquoson Yacht Club (even though we don’t own a boat!) and to the Colonial Shag Dancing Club. I still play softball in a co-rec NASA league and enjoy pretending that I can still play the field like Dal Maxvill. We’re still big Cardinal fans and try to see at least one game every year (the last two years we’ve traveled to Atlanta and Washington to see games). My son Jason has never been to a losing game so I think the Cardinals should hire him as a professional fan! |
