The Penn State Alumni AssociationWhat’s been happening: My time at Penn State was great that I couldn't bear to leave, so I stayed an additional year to do graduate work. Married life took me back to the Philadelphia suburbs and, although I left that marriage I never left the area. My second husband and I live in Horsham, PA. We are lucky that both my daughter, Tracy, and son, Michael, live close by. We have ample time to spend with our eight year old grandson, Collin, and two year old granddaughter, Cassidee. They keep us young--and tired! John and I retired two years ago. How did I get that old! It was wonderful to turn off the alarm clock, have leisurely breakfasts, read the newspaper. We walk two miles every morning and go to the gym several times a week. We do this so we can continue to eat well and drink good wine! We enjoy volunteering with Meals on Wheels and doing some traveling. This year I've reconnected with some of my Phi Mu sisters and have enjoyed reminiscing about our good old days at Penn State. We were lucky to have such a wonderful educational (and social) experience. My email address is bettyshepherd@verizon.net. |
