We have 3 grandchildren and love spoiling them. I worked in the marine industry, both on ships and on shore, for the State until retiring in 1997 when I went to work for the local Native corporation managing an aerial tramway that runs from the cruise ship dock up 1800 ft. to a mountain complex. I've been a volunteer with the fire dept. for 35 years; retired as a district chief, but continue to run the specialized rescue teams responding to swiftwater and mountain rescue situations. Deb and I enjoy traveling, hiking with our dogs and my interests include skiing, anything on water or in the woods, cooking, gardening and reading. I'm looking forward to seeing many of you at the reunion!

Debbie Schnall

Then

Now

City:New York State/Prov.:New York Occupation:Psychotherapist / Psychoanalyst

From Debbie:

I have been living in New York City for about 35 years. I graduated American University in DC with a BA in 1972. I moved to New York to go to New York University for graduate school and received my Masters Degree in 1975. In 1985 I began post graduate training in Psychoanalysis (IPTAR) and completed that training in 1993. I also have training in Parent-Infant Psychotherapy. I have been in private practice since 1986, working with adults in psychoanalysis and psychotherapy, with adolescents in psychotherapy as well as parent - infant/toddler psychotherapy.

I began my career in 1975 working with adolescents. :-) Particularly rewarding is my work with high risk mothers and infants who are in a residential treatment program for substance abuse. I am most fortunate to receive funding from two foundations for this work.

How did all this happen? - it must have been all those hours I spend in the counseling office with Mrs. Allen, filing and stuffing envelopes, after I was "asked to leave class" for disruptive behavior or by choice when I could not "bear" to be in a particular class. I must have caught this "counseling thing" by "osmosis". I also teach and write professional papers. Who would have ever thought I would be able to write a paper. Certainly not our beloved Miss Tegu.

I enjoy theater, movies and dance performances, as well as cooking, biking (as in bicycle), swimming and skiing. And yes, I have continued to dance ( jammin' in the language of 1968). I passed through the disco and club scene and have "aged" into the world of ballroom dancing - salsa and swing including west coast swing. I'm sure I'll make the transition soon to the foxtrot ! I've mostly kept up with my jazz and tap dance classes. Which brings me to, I am so glad that many of my jammin' buddies will be at the reunion. But wondering about you, Billy Earman - you gonna be there? Looking forward to seeing everyone. It will be a lot of fun.

City:Rockville State/Prov.:MD Occupation:Engineer Marital Status:Married

From William:I am still right here in the area living near White Flint Mall; just far enough so my wife does not go there every night, but close enough so we can walk. Still taking lots of black and white photos and I will bring some to the dinner. Still traveling the world as a Navy civilian engineer. I could retire, but why would I want to? For example, just getting ready to go "work" in Hawaii for a while. Meanwhile, making 10-mile mountain hikes with the Capital Hiking Club each Saturday and still out in my same canoe fishing (see photo).
