After graduation I attended the Fashion Institute in NYC. Instead of graduating I married Jim  Marklein. We had 4 children rather quickly and a really happy and satisfying life. We lived In Stony Brook, LI, Florida and finally Virginia. Jim died at 54, 4 years after we arrived in Virginia. I presently have 7 grandchildren ages 1 1/2 to 23 years old. I love reading, gardening, the beach, the mountains, and teaching a Bible Study. Last year I learned to fly a small plane, what a thrill!! Looking forward to the reunion and seeing all your faces.
