The Penn State Alumni AssociationWhat’s been happening: My favorite memories are of time spent with dorm buddies, singing in the Chorus led by Mr. Brown and Tommy,and walking on the Mall. And I was so fortunate to be involved with the study abroad program in Strasbourg which allowed for much travel. I pursued a career in French, but was lured to a Wall Street job to pay the bills. Sadly, my Penn State sweetheart passed on at an early age. I moved to New York City, earned my MBA and met and married a man of much love and many talents. Mr. Brown cautioned us in Chorus that to be happy, our life partners must be as passionate about music as we were. My husband's compositions, arrangements and vocal performances truly enrich my life. I have 3 outstanding stepchildren that I parented as well as grew up with and my 2 young sons who are now 14 and 12 are really the icing on my cake. I have been working with the same 2 gentlemen in investment management for more than 30 years, and have learned so much. I am still a Jersey Girl, commuting to NYC but now only 3 times a week which is just about perfect. Penn State was such a wonderful place to be and as big as it was (and still is), it afforded me many deeply personal and enduring impressions that have brought me to where I am today. WE ARE: PENN STATE!! |
