Spouse: Jim Children: Carlin Patrick - Age 3 yrs., Charlie - Age 17 mths.
I was unable to attend our 15 year reunion last October because I had surgery to remove a large tumor from my left ovary (benign). It was horrible... My Dad recently found out that he has prostate cancer and had to undergo surgery to remove his prostate. Hopefully no other cancerous calls have spread.. so far, so good. He had the surgery 6 weeks ago and is recovering well. He always loved mine and my sister's (Karla - 1980) friends. We always had a bunch of kids hanging out at our house. He remembers all of you fondly. Please keep him in your prayers!

How found? The Gazette Newspapers. Occupation: Minister, Spouse: Susan, Children: Leslie - 15, Michelle - 12
Memorable Incident: The play Romeo & Juliet
Since High School: I was in the liquor and catering businesses for nearly twenty years as President of Atlantic Beverage Corporation. During those years we served many of Washington's most interesting figures - the most exciting were Reagan's inaugurals and the world premiere of "Star Trek the Movie". Nine years ago, I decided to enter the ministry (going back to school in your forties is tough). I spent five years as Executive Director of the Lutheran Ministry with the Developmentally Disabled. Currently, I am the Pastor of Epiphany Lutheran Church in Rockville. I do a lot of community work. I serve on the Rockville Human Rights Commission, the Montgomery County Intervention Task Force, and the Board of Governors at the University of Maryland (my wife's and my alma mater).
Future Plans: Get my kids through college happy and healthy.
Memorable Teachers: Muriel Hoover - World History. She was a sweet lady who had retired from DC schools. I don't think many people took her seriously, but she taught me that being old doesn't mean one must stop loving or living. She wasn't embarrassed by her age; she relished her experience. More and more, I understand that thinking.
