Comments

I won't be able to attend the reunion, but I appreciate this website and wish you all the best. Couldn't figure out how to attach a picture (my clumsiness with such things). After graduating from CHHS I completed a BA at Western Reserve/Case Western (the institutions combined in 1968) and Antioch Graduate School of Education. Worked in alternative schools, the anti-poverty program, various human service jobs. In 1981-85 I was director of a non-profit home health agency. Then the whole family spent a year in Scotland and I got serious about writing. After we returned, I wrote a column for our weekly paper in Yellow Springs. There is a list of publications: most significantly, my first novel (Riders on the Storm) was published in 2010. It's set in Cleveland in 1968. I'm trying to get the next novel published and write other things in between taking care of grandchildren.

School Story

Some memories:
SvenErik Hammar's 10th grade history class. ("Cerebrate!")
Folk singing in the auditorium during lunch hour. Singing in the halls between classes. Dancing the Hora.
Girls Glee Club. We met at 7:00 am for extra rehearsals every day.
