Family Status: Divorced Children: 2
Carly -- 15 years old, freshman in high school. Bright kid, good grades, self-confident with quite a level head on her shoulders. Loves drama and dance, with any number of dance classes every evening -- ballet, pointe, jazz, modern, lyrical. The list goes on, as do the monthly checks. Her dream is Broadway. Yeah? Well, who am I to squelch her dream?
Charlie Dylan -- 10 years old, in 5th grade. Brighter, possibly, than his sister, but all the more annoying. Loves to push her buttons, and razzes his mom a fair amount, too. Loves all manner of strategy games, magic and card tricks. Athletic, too, so involved in sports. Especially loves soccer and hockey. Plays trombone in school band, which amazes me, because the instrument is about as big as he is.
Grandchildren: 0
I would love to have had more children, so although am in no hurry for my kids to get hitched and 'reproduce', I really look forward to being a grandmother.
After Graduation I: Went to College
College:
Career: Still working for Uncle Sam -- General Services Administration, Federal Acquisition Service -- as Director of Systems Division for GSA Fleet. Lotsa words to indicate that I'm "Management" in a Dilbert sort of world. But I couldn't ask for a better office job or better "compadres". Contrary to stereotype, our Gov't office is energized, motivated, pro-active, and forward-thinking. Most days, except for the early hour and crazy commute and not seeing my kids off to school, I love going into the office. Couldn't ask for a better, more stimulating work environment. . . .well, most of the time.
5 Years from now...
If Carly does not hit it big on Broadway and send money home, I will still be working here in D.C. Must see Dylan through his academic paces. I settled down relatively late in life, so plan to work another 10 - 15 years. I'm healthy and strong, so no reason not to. 'Course, there really COULD be that aged, rich uncle out there, in whose Last Will and Testament I am abundantly compensated.
Retirement
Dear Idahoans: My dream is to buy land and retire in the mountains of

Friends: High school was a tough and painful time for me. I hated it, actually. But there were bright spots, too, that remain forever etched in memory. These reunion preparations, and the web sites that Delanie has created to keep us in touch, remind me of that. It is good to see your pictures, read your stories, and catch up with your lives. Thanks, Delanie, for making that possible.

Claudia!! I have written this comment 3 times. I can't seem to figure this blog out. But, You should have your daughter look into Juilliard's summer program. It is great and is only 3 weeks long. It is modern and ballet. Check on their website for more info but it is quite easy to audition for summer with just a video. It is a way to get your foot into the door for broadway. They have broadway people come in and set pieces on them. Hannah went when she was 15 and 16. It helped her get into the college. We will have to get together when I come back( I hope to come often) I'll miss that girl.
The last comment was from me Cherie and this one too.... my husband is not writing to you. But I can't figure out how to change that. I will have to ask my son. Great times ahead!!!!
