Comment: It's been a wild ride. Armed with a BA from Kenyon College, went to teach math at Episcopal High School in Florida. Married a guy from Alabama, moved into the exciting world of IT and back to River Forest and Oak Park, then out to the hinterlands. Had 3 kids along the way. Got my MDiv from Northern Seminary and ordained in the UCC in 2007, did a chaplain residency at Loyola University Medical Center...and am now working as the chaplain at the DuPage Convalescent Center...7 minutes from home. Kids are far afield: Christopher (32) in Florida (IT, wouldn't you know), Elizabeth (28) in Germany working on her PhD in Computer Science, and James (20) majoring in Computer Science at St Olaf in Minnesota - and singing in the choir. Oh! and 3.4 grandchildren.

Comment: Lots of familiar names on the lists you've all assembled! I've been lawyering since 77, in northern VA. The website I mentioned has my professional profile if anyone wants to know more (or refer work, of course!). I didn't think I'd go to this reunion, but seeing all those names, I've changed my mind!

Comment: After graduating from college I married Jim and we will celebrate our 45th anniversary this August! I was a 4th and 5th grade teacher for several years and then stayed home for 18 years to raise our 2 children. My daughter is an attorney and my son is a Grammy nominated music writer/producer with studios in Nashville and Los Angeles. I went back to education as a K-6th librarian in the public school near our home for 18 years and I retiredin 2019. It has been fun catching up on everyone, I have wonderful memories of OPRF, it was the best! Go Huskies!!

Comment: Hello everyone, After graduating from OPRF I attended North Central College in Naperville where I met my husband of 49 years, Bill Schwartz (Maine South class of '70). We began playing music together with me on electric bass and Bill on guitar. We formed a bunch of different groups mostly playing folk/rock and country rock and toured the coffe house circuit while in school. I don't know how we got any school work done! After college we got married and continued working day jobs and playing gigs or rehearsing at night. In 1976 we formed Jump 'n the Saddle Band, and played around Chicago in bars, festivals, and concerts. We recorded 3 albums and on our third album (Atlantic records) we released the single "The Curly Shuffle. " It went to #1 in Chicago and #15 on Billboard. No one was more shocked than us! In 1984 our first little girl, Christine, was born and Carolyn came along in 1985. Other musicians in the OPRF class of '70 who had success are John Pazdan (Pezband, Off Broadway) and the late great Cliff Johnson (Off Broadway, d'Thumbs). It was great seeing everyone at the reunion at Fitzgerald's, a place our band played many times, started by fellow OPRF '70 classmate, Bill Fitzgerald.
