Subject: Engagement
After
30 years of not seeing or hearing from each other, Jeff Lindblad and
Terri Cohea, both of the Class of ‘71 announce their engagement to each
other. Thirty years ago they dated for a short time and broke up.
Since that time each went and lived their separate lives raising
families, experiencing the joy and sadness life would bring. A time of
sadness and sorrow for one, as well as divine intervention, would bring
them together again one night as they both sat over a thousand miles away
from each other in front of glowing computer screens, each on line and
each wondering should I or shouldn’t I say “Hi.” One said hello....
Jeff
and Terri will be married on July 15 in Bethany Beach, Delaware.

Incidents: I remember Mrs. Zimmerman’s shorthand classes.
She wouldn’t allow the girls to wear slacks so we would bring a
skirt to change into before and after her class.
The
rare day I got to drive the family’s 1965 Ford Fairlane to school I
parked it in front of the school and locked the keys in the car.
The big trouble was that it was still on. I had been too busy to notice because I had picked up JoAnn
Morgan and Joyce Cooper and we were talking.
I came out at the end of the school day and it was still running!
Don’t remember anything about how we got in to it.
Mrs.
Boorman’s chemistry class. What
a joy she was! I actually
think I learned something.

last summer to Texas, just outside Dallas.
We bought some land out in the country and are trying a different
lifestyle! We currently are
raising 28 chickens and hope to get a dairy goat in a few months.
Of course, the kids want a horse and a dog. That will have to wait!
Alex
has another six years in the military before he can retire.
If we have another assignment before then, I hope it is back to
Edwards AFB in the California desert.
I loved it there! I am
home schooling Paula only this year. It
is an interesting experience. Her
younger sister is jealous and wants to be home schooled also.
I am busy doing the “mom” thing - cooking, cleaning, and
chauffeuring. I have been
heartened to see that so many alumni near my age are just now having their
first children. Maybe I am
not so old after all! My
parents still live in Maryland so I am the area at least once a year.

that my grandmother did not live long enough to see her first great

NEW
YORK—Jan Zlotnick, the writer and creative director who has headed such
brands as “I Love NY,” Bacardi rum, Business Week magazine, BMW
Motorcycles, and Timberline cologne, has started the ZlotnickGroup, a
rethink tank for brand repositioning and creative.
“We
rethink the way things work for dot-coms and traditional advertisers,”
said the president and strategic/creative director of the ZlotnickGroup.
“By doing a 360 on the marketplace, and then having genuine
conversations with people, on their turf, we’re able to break down some
walls and make deep, fast, emotional connections between the customer and
brand.”
Zlotnick
thinks the new E-commerce era, which he said curiously coincided with the
millennium, will require “a shedding of the old skin” and “a new,
counterintuitive rethinking of customers and their emotionally,
spiritually, and data-wired connections to themselves, their worlds, and
their brands.”
“It
could be rethinking a brand’s strategy or creative campaign,
Clients
of the ZlotnickGroup are Standard & Poor’s; Avanti (Jones New York,
Guess Leather); DovetailSys.com; Sterling Group Interactive, Hackensack
University Medical Center, and Northbrook Spring Water.
Zlotnick
has created award-winning campaigns for Guess Leather, Bertolli Olive Oil,
“I Love New York,” Mars Inc, ILFORD Photo, Meadowlands Racetrack,
Welsh Farms Ice Cream, and Blue Cross Blue Shield.
