Personal Comments: A graduate of I.U. I enjoyed an eclectic career as a para-legal, then court reporter before getting into the corporate arena. Employment at Stellite for several years as Distributor Sales Manager, then Marketing Communications Mgr., was followed by becoming Marketing Mgr. at a Teledyne Div. in York, PA. Constant travel took its toll and I quit to establish and operate AfterImage Marketing & Communications in Kokomo for 6 years. David and I moved south in 1991, first to New Orleans, then Baton Rouge. We moved to Ocala, FL in 1995. I have a family history book underway, and am a free-lance writer. In my spare time, I teach genealogy seminars.

I joined him there for 13 months and our daughter, Lisa, was born there in Nov. 1967. We became co owners of Sanburn Travel in July 1985 and will celebrate 15 yrs. of ownership this year. My daughter, Lisa, works there too. She graduated from Western in 1986, married Bob Bourff in 1991, and had her daughter, Stephany, in Sept. 1994. Aren't granddaughters special? John retired from Delco in May 1997 after 35 yrs. service. After buying Sanburn Travel, we've traveled many places and as often as possible. Have enjoyed seeing many of you at the class reunions. Hope to see you at the next one in 2003. Doesn't that sound futuristic?
