Hi Class of '82:
I have been in the Philadelphia area since 1985. We started off in
the city and are now suburbanites. I work at the University of
Pennsylvania School of Medicine in a Research Institute where I am
involved in event planning. I am back full time after several years
of part time and before that, a few years as full time Mom at
home. So I have kind of done the whole range of work and family
options that we all face.

My husband, Joe, is an architect and is also here at Penn so every
once in a while we get to have lunch and catch up. We have 2
sons. Bill is graduating from high school this year and is headed to
Saint Lawrence University in Canton NY - land of ice and snow. Good
thing he is an avid snow boarder. He has always complained about our
mild Philadelphia winters so he should be happy. Bill has also
enjoyed rowing for his school which is a huge tradition here in
Philadelphia. He hopes to row in college as well although I told him
he may have to carry an ice pick in his teeth to cut through the
ice. Tim is 16 and has his learner's permit and does not understand
why he must drive the family van ("the Loser Cruiser" )-- Tim is a
sophomore and has always been a soccer player. More recently he
has joined Track and Field and just this Spring broke Sophomore 
records for the long jump and the triple jump. Must be the Reagan genes!

As Joe and I are starting to have a life again after all the child
rearing chaos, we have gotten into the whole cycling craze. I will
say that Joe is a lot faster than I am, but is very patient as I try
to keep up. We hope to do some bike tours in Europe and out
West. I am really intrigued by the idea that you can eat all you
want on those trips and burn all those calories by day. We have met
some great people on our rides and our group is expanding each time
we go out. I also try to run as often as possible.

Philadelphia has gone through tremendous change since we moved
here. Joe and I talk about moving back into the city again once the
kids are off to school, but it will be hard for me to give up trees
and a yard. Plus I do love having animals so wherever we go will
have to be animal friendly!! I am really looking forward to the
Reunion and catching up with everyone. Come visit if you are in the
City of Brotherly Love!
