Summary of your bio over past 50 years:
After high school and college, Ron (a.k.a. Ronnie) worked for a bank and then went to law school. He worked in various legal positions with law firms and as a corporate counsel and then went to the Public Service Commission of Maryland (the state agency that regulates utilities) and has now been with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the federal securities regulatory agency) for over 25 years. When not practicing law, Ron lost on the television game show Jeopardy! (but at least he made it on), was an extra in movies with Steve Gutenberg and Frank Langella, and backpacked across Europe and separately visited the former Soviet Union and Belarus. He met his wife Lisa at the wedding of one of our classmates. They are the proud parents of twins Marissa (a freelance photographer in NYC – you can see her work in the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, Teen Vogue and other digital publications) and Michael (a software engineer for a large financial services firm – you can see his work if you get paperless statements). Ron started skiing and cycling late in life. He tries to get out West to ski intermediate runs with his son at least once a year and is an avid road cyclist, cycling 60 to 100 miles per week at a moderate pace.

Summary of your bio over past 50 years:
After high school, I attended University of Maryland, College Park. I received a B.S. in Psychology. Not knowing what to do after college, I took off a year and sold art supplies. Then I applied to a PhD program in Pharmacology. I was waitressing at the time, and liked that better than grad school, so after 3 1/2 years, I left my program. I began interning on film and commercial sets and moved to Los Angeles. I ended up working on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno as a Segment Producer for 17 years. I didn't meet Chuck, the love of my life, until I was 39 years old and then it took 4 years to get married. Sadly, he passed from leukemia, after we were married 10 years. He was only 61 years old. I then found work on a show called Home & Family on Hallmark Channel. That show ended after 8 years. Since work has been slow, I have become a Substitute teacher with LAUSD. We'll see how that goes! I'm also still single....

Summary of your bio over past 50 years:
After Milford, I went to University of Maryland, College Park. After graduating, I built a career in economic development, first in PG and Howard Counties and then internationally for the Welsh Development Agency and Maryland/Israel Development Center, from which I retired in 2021. I raised my kids in Montgomery County and moved to Columbia about 10 years ago. I have twin sons who both got married recently and, lucky for me, still live locally. I spend my time reading, writing, working out and playing golf (when my back lets me).

Summary of your bio over past 50 years:
Mark and I have been married for 46 years this November. Mark worked in the Steamfitters Union for 30 years before retiring and starting his own Handyman business. He totally retired when we moved to Round Rock, TX (suburb of Austin) in 2016. I have worked, managing dental offices for the last 40 years. I am now the National Dental Services Administrator for Vivent Health, a company that provides medical, dental, social services and financial assistance for those living with HIV. We have two wonderful sons, both musicians, and 2 beautiful grandchildren, 12 and 10. We all live within 20 miles of each other. I am still rocking out to the Grateful Dead and am fortunate that our younger son plays in Deadeye, a very popular Dead cover band here in Austin. We travel 3-4 times a year, one family trip with the whole crew and the others on our own or with friends. We try to go places we haven't been (I'd like to do all 50 states), or our favorite place, Bermuda. Life is good and it's wonderful to be able to share.

Received a BS in Electrical Engineering from University of Maryland. My career path brought me to Chicago where I met my husband, Craig, and started our beautiful family~2 daughters and a son. I was truly fortunate to experience a rewarding career within the industrial automation, electrification and robotics space, retiring in 2021 after 42 years. Retirement includes spoiling 4 adoring grandsons (between 1 and 4 years old), organic gardening, bird watching, biking, cherishing friendships, and exploring the world.

Summary of your bio over past 50 years:
After college, I began a career in the insurance industry, initially as an underwriter, eventually becoming a broker and now am a principal/partner at a venerable independent insurance agency here in Baltimore. My greatest source of pride though, is my family. I have three beautiful adult children who are all thriving in their own unique ways. My oldest son, after graduating from Wake Forest, landed in NYC and is building a well respected reputation in the Ad-tech space. My younger son, a former Division 1 athlete, works as an Analyst for fellow alum Michael Bloomberg in Manhattan. His twin sister went to college out in Denver and never looked back. She has found her passion at a boutique event planning firm where she helps create some amazing experiences, far and near. Some of my fondest memories include all the exotic adventures we’ve taken together over the years. Being on or about the water has been my life long passion. I spent over 25 years as a competitive sailor on Chesapeake Bay and now find pleasure in cruising around with my S.O. onboard my Picnic boat STEADFAST. I recently joined the Board of Sail Baltimore, a non profit organization that is charged with bringing Tall Ships and Fleet Week to the Baltimore Harbor. Beyond that, I am hoping to become a snowbird in the not too distant future.

Summary of your bio over past 50 years:
After high school, I attended the University of South Florida in Tampa. After graduating college, I worked for World Airways as a flight attendant for five years. I was married in 1985, and lived in Pikesville and raised three sons while working as a paralegal in an estate and trusts law firm in Baltimore City. Divorced in 1997, I remained in Baltimore County until 2014 when I moved to Harbor East where I currently live. I love living by the Inner Harbor, walking, running, biking and going to the gym. I retired in 2019 to spend time with my ever-growing family. I have three married sons, two in Baltimore and one in Austin, TX, and five grandchildren. I enjoy travel and spending as much family time as possible. I have been very blessed over the past fifty years.

Summary of your bio over past 50 years:
I've been living in New York since I started law school in 1979. I met a New York girl (Pam) the following year. We have two daughters and two grandsons, all of whom, fortunately for us, live nearby. I retired from practicing law in 1989 and semi-retired from working in the financial world in 2002 at which point I became a school teacher. Since then I have been doing my best to change the high school math content students are required to learn. In 2020-2023, I developed and taught a new math course at Harvard as part of a fellowship there. I am back to teaching middle/high schoolers locally in Chappaqua, NY where I have lived for the past 35 years.

Summary of your bio over past 50 years:
While studying computer science at UMBC, I got into a work/study program and started working at Social Security headquarters. After I graduated, they hired me permanently and I spent my entire career there. I started at a systems analyst and retired as a senior program manager. I met my husband, Skip, there and we’ve been married 41 years. Skip and I had a mutual love of sailing. We spent 20 years exploring the Chesapeake Bay. I retired early so we could go cruising on our sailboat. For most of 5 years, we cruised the east coast, spending winters in the Bahamas and sailing up to Maine. It was quite the life! After those adventures, we ended up living in Florida where we just enjoy life, music and world traveling.

Summary of your bio over past 50 years:
After high school, I graduated from Vanderbilt University in 1979, and then graduated from Northwestern University Dental School in 1983. While living in Chicago, working for another dentist, I met my wife Renee. We moved to Syracuse, NY in 1987 where i took over a dental practice for a retiring dentist. We have two daughters, Jordan, who also went to Vanderbilt and SUNY Medical School and is currently working for Legacy Rehab in Florida. My other daughter Molly is closing in on her Ph.D in Biology at Boise St. The pandemic was good for one thing as it persuaded me to retire in 2019. We moved to an historic neighborhood in Syracuse and there i became the campaign chair for a neighbor who ran for city council. That led to similar opportunities with other candidates and I was appointed to the Syracuse Review Board which provides oversight over the city police department. I also retired from running, but still cycle and walk, with or without my dog. I also am on our neighborhood board in charge of maintaining the many gardens on the median which bisects the neighborhood.

Summary of your bio over past 50 years:
Not long after graduating from Yeshiva College with a degree in Physics, I met and married my wife, Myrna (nee Barkey), who grew up in Seattle, Washington. We have been married for almost 45 years. We have 5 children, three girls and two boys, and thanks to their efforts and energy, we are blessed with 31 grandchildren. Professionally, I worked for over three decades in research and development in the fields of undersea surveillance and anti-submarine warfare, first at the United States Navy’s Naval Electronic Systems Command and then at the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory. I have also continued my life-long avocation of studying and teaching Biblical and rabbinic texts. In 2015, Myrna and I realized a long-held dream when we relocated to the city of Modiin, Israel, where we spend the majority of our time. I continue to work in R&D in atmospheric and underwater acoustics, both in Israel and in the U.S. I am also involved in the early stage of an Israeli start-up in the health care field. For recreation, I enjoy playing with our wonderful grandchildren, bicycling, and reading history and science material.

Summary of your bio over past 50 years:
My last fifty years seemed to have blinked right by. Following high school graduation I began working at Towson University, where I remained until my retirement in 2015 after 35 years of service. I married Clay Myatt in 1980 and we moved to Carroll County MD. We raised two fine sons and were quite involved in their sports and scouting activities. Clay and I enjoyed traveling, the beach, Car Shows, and were very active in our church. As empty nesters we decided to move to first floor living in a golf course community in Gettysburg, PA. Unfortunately just two years after our move to our dream home, my husband lost his life to cancer. I enjoy golfing but am a fair weather golfer. I’ve become active in my new community and enjoy the new friendships I’ve formed. My four young grandchildren are fun and keep me busy. Fifty years have brought countless fantastic family memories and the forging of many forever friendships.
