Birthday: December 27, 1953

I received my B.A. in Music Education from Miami University of Ohio and my Masters in Urban Arts Management from Drexel University. I am now in my 16th year as managing director of The Cleveland Play House and still having fun putting on plays. For all you old rock and rollers we currently have a show we produced running off -Broadway called Love Janis, a musical based on the life of Janis Joplin. Maybe we should plan a trip to New York as part of the reunion to relive our teenage days!

My wife, Jane currently works part-time for the city of Shaker Heights as a housing consultant. Our son, Jay, born Dec. 12, 1983, is a senior and just finished playing football as fullback and middle linebacker. Shaker was 8-2. (Can you believe I have a son who plays football?) He spent most of the time in the backfield blocking for the star of the team, a young man named Greg Pruitt, Jr. Our daughter Cassie, born Apr. 29, 1987, is a freshman and enjoys field hockey and lacrosse.

My how time flies. I hope to see everyone in Mt. Gilead for the reunion.
