The Penn State Alumni Association

What’s been happening:

My degree was obtained late in life at age 60. That was after seeing my husband through his doctorate and two sons through their BS degrees. That's different than most of my classmates! My are sales have been watercolors of beloved pets and portraits of children and adults. The last five years were mainly spent seeing my husband through his last years. Dr. Keppeler had taught at Penn State for twenty plus years and passed away October 10, 2008 at age 91. I am now 85, but I look forward to again being productive in the art world here in Melbourne, Florida. Our older boy graduated from Michigan State. Our younger son Clifford '67 and his wife Barbara Darlington '66 both graduated from Penn State. He is en engineer and is designing furniture and kitchens and baths since his retirement from the US Army. We enjoyed 26 happy years in State College. Half my degree was earned a course at a time over several years. I completed all the credits for a degree in Psychology. The last two years I was a full time student and took only Art Many times I was a sounding board for the much younger students I went to class with. When Dr. Keppeler retired in '83 we moved to Melbourne.
