It is difficult to summarize the past 50 years since graduation from Yorktown.  I am blessed that many of my dreams have been realized in ways I never thought possible.  My most important blessing is Scott, my beloved husband of 36 years. It was bashert that we met singing in a professional quartet in Manhattan.  

Immediately after receiving my Bachelor of Music degree in voice, I returned to northern Virginia for an opera apprenticeship at Wolf Trap and then moved to The Big Apple.  After much practicing and many auditions later, I performed as soprano soloist at Carnegie Hall, the Kennedy Center, and other major venues.  I was fortunate to sing operatic roles with regional and Canadian companies and perform under the touring wing of Houston Grand Opera and New York City Opera.  Between opera, recitals and concert performances, I found a wonderful part-time administrative position at The Rockefeller University where I continue to work.

After two years of study, Scott and I became Jews by Choice on our 20^thwedding anniversary and remarried Jewishly ten years later.  Assisting our clergy and as volunteer members of the Shiva Minyan Corps, we lead services to offer comfort to families in their time of sorrow and loss.  Converting to Judaism has been a life-changing experience and one of the best decisions we ever made.

We have traveled to Bermuda, Great Britain, France, Italy and Spain,as well as to Israel on a congregational trip led by our senior rabbi.

Giving back to the community, for over a dozen years a dear friend and I have been presenting musical programs at senior residences and nursing homes throughout Manhattan.

Thank you to the diligent members of the 50^thReunion Committee!
