Marianne Indusi Solak

Hello All:

I've been married for forty two years to Frank and we still live in Ossining. We have one son, Scott, who is now 38 and has been married for ten years. We've been blessed with two beautiful grandchildren, Jordyn (6) and Jake (4). They live in Charlottesville, Virginia.

My life has been an interesting journey. After retiring from the medical field, I became involved with comedy improv and have been teaching and performing it for 20 years. I'm a member of Andy's Improvibilities and do videos for Second Half Laughs. I still love to sing and utilize my singing during my performances. I feel truly blessed that I have been able to live out my theatrical dreams on many levels. I also enjoy interior decorating, jewelry design, dancing, cooking, hiking and traveling.

I was saddened to see that so many of our fellow classmates have passed on. May their memories live on by the family and friends that loved them. I look forward to seeing everyone again soon.

If anyone wants to get in touch with me, my email address is marigem08@aol.com

Valerie Klaus Lewis

I have been married to Ed for 38 years this year. We have been retired and living in Brewster, MA since 1996 (that is on Cape Cod). Ed was employed with Burlington Industries, i.e. textiles. He headed up the Burlington scatter rug division. I was employed as a medical technician for over 25 years, but managed to dance for about 10 years with a small company in NY. Some of you might remember I studied dance during my youth. I returned to dance at age 26 with this company and that was the toughest challenge for myself. We enjoy our life on Cape Cod, have met numerous friends through golf and this organization called Nauset Newcomers. I am looking forward to this reunion and cannot believe how many of you have responded. Thanks to a geat reunion committee.

Many thanks to the organizers of this reunion! I would not have guessed before David and Pook "found" me that I would be so happy at the prospect of seeing everyone. It's already been a joy to hear about people that I've not seen in 44 years (that's an unbelievably big number). I am eager to share memories of high school and elementary school as well. The headlines: I have been married to Colin Greer for 32 years. We have 3 children, Simon, age 40 (my stepson), Olivia, 28, and Lucy, 18, and Owen, our first grandchild born this October. I am a clinical psychologist-psychoanalyst in private practice with individual adults, families,couples and kids on the Upper West Side of Manhattan. Before that I was a modern dancer and a nursery school teacher. My family and I enjoy summers in upstate NY and Long Island, and since Colin is English, we visit England frequently. It's been so interesting to read the blog and think about where the wind has blown our class and how much diversity there is in the lives everyone is leading. I look forward to more. All the best to everyone.

This is a picture of Deb Pidgeon O'Connor, Marie Scarfi Kooney and me playing tourist near my home on Cape Cod. It amazes me that we have been friends since the 7th grade and still manage to get together once or twice a year.

Elizabeth Kessler Gore

I've been married to Ernie Gore for twenty four years, have three step children and five grandchildren. We have lived in Arlington Heights, IL; Arcadia, California; La Jolla, California, New York, NY; Pacific Palisades, CA; and are now retired in Palm Desert, CA. I enjoy playing golf, photography,ceramic sculpture and needlepointing. We are looking forward to the reunion in October - a double pleasure trip - getting to New York and seeing "old" friends! This will also be a great sacrifice since we will miss the USC/Notre Dame game on the 17th. We are avid USC fans!
