Edison HS Class of 1981

It has been a year since OUR 25th Reunion and in that time I’ve become a grandma. It will soon be time to start to get ready for OUR 30th so the search for the rest of OUR class is ongoing and I’m hoping to make contact with everyone regardless if they are or aren’t interested in attending future reunions. I want to make sure everyone has an opportunity to reconnect with ‘old’ friends whether it’s through the reunions, e-mails, or OUR website.

I teach high school biology in the public schools in Pittsburgh. I coached gymnastics up until 2006. I have three WONDERFUL children, only one of whom still lives with me.

After 4 years in the Marine Corps I have been working for the US Postal Service for over 20 years. Currently I am a Marketing Specialist in DC at national headquarters. Single, father of 4. When I’m not hanging with the kids you’ll usually find me scootin around on my Harley, headin to a bike show or bike week, listening to old school rock and roll,or swattin some balls on the golf course. Pretty much still a big kid! Can’t wait to see everyone again. Especially the Hell Bros!!!

It was great to see everybody last year at the reunion! I still live here in the Franconia area and I now work as a civilian for the Navy in DC. I earned my bachelor’s degree from James Madison University in 1985 and earned my master’s in Urban Planning in 2000 from The University of Virginia. I’ve attached a new photo of me taken while on vacation in Portland, OR last month. With this vacation, I’ve now visited 49 out of the 50 states. Guess I’m still trying to figure out where to go…but I’m enjoying the journey!

Well- here’s the latest & greatest… Heading back to VA,likely for good. Will be staying at a friend’s home in Greenbrier area of Chesapeake as my brother is still renting our little house in Va Beach. Got my old job back at Glasser and Glasser in beautiful downtown Norfolk - woohoo!! Hubby goes on terminal(leave)late Feb and full retirement from Navy at end of May. HAHAHA!! for once we move and I have a job and he’s the one job hunting. Georgia’s ok, but it just ain’t home. My best for 2007 to y’all

I’m married and live with my wife, Hope O’Keeffe, and stepsons Aaron and Jeffrey here in NoVA. By day I’m the Staff Technologist for Public Knowledge, a public-interest non-profit organization here in Washington, DC.

I hope everyone is having a great 2008!!!

In October 2007 I toured the west. I flew into Vegas and drove to Zion and Bryce Canyons in Southern Utah. Through Northern Arizona stopping at the North Rim of the Grand Canyon, down to Flag Staff traveling scenic 89A all the way down until I headed into Southern California. I traveled the PCH from LA to San Fran, over to Yosemite, down to Kings Canyon and into Sequoia National Park. Then I drove around the Sierra Nevada Mountains through Death Valley and back to Vegas.

All I can say is that it was absolutely spectacular!!!

This picture was taken at Bryce Canyon.
