Nancy Streb-Williams

I moved to Cincinnati right after graduation. I went to the University of Cincinnati for a few years.

For the rest of my 20's I traveled a lot. I lived in Canada, Colorado, state of Washington, Florida and traveled all through Europe (including Russia).

This is my second time living in South Carolina. I am divorced and have no children.

I live on a lake/golf course near Columbia SC. I have done several different things to make a living, but most of my time has been spent in the medical field.

I am currently back in school, but also work with Alzheimer/Dementia patients. Most of my family is in SC. I like to spend any free time I have at the beach.

Chris Tracy

Briefly, I spent a few years after Penn State acting, designing, directing and producing theatre in and around New York City; I married an actress I'd met on "Ryan's Hope"; I left the theatre for the fire service, becoming a career firefighter for Fairfield, CT in 1990 (shortly thereafter giving a firehouse tour for a young boy whose father turned out to be Alan Roth from PHS '77!); I'm now a Lieutenant and Haz-Mat Technician for the county response team; and we have a four-year-old son named Michael Ryan. (I've kept my hand in theatre; tomorrow I was supposed to work on "As The World Turns", but I'm doing a staged reading of a new play at Dramatists Guild in Times Square instead - a good balance for the life of a fireman!).

Subject: Re: PHS Class of '77 invites you to our Reunion!
To: penfield77 "~at~" yahoo.com

Hello, my name is Karen Ihrig and I'm the Administrative Assistant for TCP.
You probably don't know that Ned was involved in a serious car accident on
Nov. 4 [2002]. He has fractured his right foot and has some vertebrae damage in his back. Neither of these injuries will require surgery. He will have at
least ten weeks of wearing back and foot paraphernalia. Until that time he
has asked me to handle his emails.

I will pass along your invite to drop in on your reunion but please I do not
believe he will be attending.

Paula Santirocco

Paula Santirocco is my stage name, but I'm married to William Goddard.

I hate to say it.....I just retired. I had been playing Principal Flute for the Cleveland Opera, Cleveland Ballet, Broadway tours, and freelance gigs.  I had also done some college teaching.

I live in North Ridgeville, OH (25 mi west of Cleveland.)

I've had a great time for the last 20 years playing the flute (which is solid gold!) ) in the Cleveland area, for the Opera, the Ballet, Broadway shows and freelance gigs.  I root for the Cleveland Indians, even when they stink.

I recommend to what you want to do and NEVER take a 9 to 5 job.

Question:  Do you have any memories of Penfield High?
I'm sorry guys, I know this isn't what you want to hear, but I've spent 25 years trying to forget it.

Marilyn McPoland

I currently live in Los Angeles, but returned to my place of birth, Honolulu, for nearly ten years.

My career began in traditional advertising but soon transitioned to the world of aviation beginning with a 4 1/2 yr stint as a Marketing Director with Naval Air Station Barbers Point, Hawaii. I went on to produce large airshows both in Hawaii and here on the mainland for five years.

Currently, I own a company -- Blue Sky Concepts, Inc.-- which specializes in aviation public relations and promotions.

I am single -- never married -- and have been flying airplanes (for pleasure) for ten years.  I have had the great fortune to fly a tremendous variety of airplanes including WWII airplanes (even a Spitfire), aerobatic airplanes and jets.
