E-mail Address: renaissancept@yahoo.com Present Occupation: Founder/Director/Physical Therapist of Renaissance healing & Learning Center
Life and Family: Because of a back injury in 1996, I was able to create
a Vocational Rehab program of my dreams: I had been working as a Physical Therapist for over 25 years when I sustained a back injury which created problems enough so I couldn't work for 2 years. In 1998, I
continued my path of working with Special Needs population with equine assisted therapy. In 2000, I received a Graduate Certificate in Hippotherapy from Western Michigan University. In 1998, after having been working as
a physical therapist in assorted clinical and home health settings, I founded Renaissance Healing & Learning Center. It is located in Cotati, CA. in Sonoma County, which is an hour north of San Francisco. We provide "Hippotherapy" (...Healing on Horseback)and other forms of Equine Assisted Therapy for children and adults with physical and emotional challenges. Our website (created by one of my sons, Jay Sandler)is www.rhlc.net I have 5 horses (Stormy, Allie, Libby, Smoke, and Buddy)! who are the "therapists". Allie, a Thoroughbred was abandoned at a
local racetrack, which I rehabilitated to become a therapy horse. In 2005,
Allie was chosen by North American Riding for the Handicapped
Association as Thrapy Horse of the Year for Region 11 (California, Hawaii,
Nevada). Buddy, a cute Paint Miniature Horse with one blue eye,
pulls a cart. Libby is a Tennessee Walking Horse, Stormy and Smoke are
Missouri Fox Trotters! I have also become certified in Aquatic Therapy
and have been enjoying that venue as well.
I was divorced in 2000, and was able to buy a home on 2 acres in 2001,
just around the corner from the therapy facility. My daughter, Sarah,
now 12 yrs. old attends a Special Ed. day class,and lives half time
with me. I have recently acquired a Canine Companion Facility Service
Dog, "Max", whose job it is to help with therapy at Renassance Healing &
Learning. We are the first Equine Assisted Therapy program to have a
therapy dog from Canine Companions for Independence. Max also is helping a
great deal with Sarah as well.
My grown sons, Mike, Rob, and Jay are doing well. Michael has moved to
L.A. and continues his work in the non-profit field of social,
environmental, and economics. Jay is working in the bio-tech industry, and
attending classes toward his MBA. Twin brother Rob is working on his
graduate degree in astro-physics.... |

It is so wonderful being grandparents-takes a lof of energy but I
wouldn't trade it for anything. If I had known how wonderful being
grandparents was we would have had the grandchildren first.Our son now is
enrolled in the police academy.
After graduating from high school I recieved a B.A. in sociology from
UMSL-which I have yet to use. For about 20 years my husband and I had
drugstores in North St. Louis. We closed our last store in 1997.
Since then I have been at Macys (Famous Barr). Over the years I have seen
a lot of friends from U. City. Still enjoy playing the game of "where
did you go to high school".
Starting in 1997 I started going to family reunions-relatives from my
great grandmothers
branch (the Chana branch) and the other 5 branches(her brothers and
sisters.The first gathering was held in the Catskills . It was
overwhelming to suddenly know all these distant cousins. I now have relatives
from England, USA,Italy,Israel,Canada, and South America. spend a lot of
time emailing all the relatives-this has been a truly wonderful and
fulfilling experince.

Spouse: Jerry Feldman
Life and Family: I have enjoyed living in Los Angeles since I moved
here in 1978. My husband Jerry and I recently completely gutted and
remodeled our hillside home (and still managed to stay married!). We have
wonderful views from our deck of the San Andreas mountains in one
direction and the lights of Hollywood in the other and would wecome sharing
them with old friends from U.City who are visiting the L.A. area.
I have happily cut back my law practice to part-time. My husband
continues to enjoy working in the entertainment industry as a
cinematographer, directing the lighting on videos, commercials, and documentaries.
Our son Gareth Mandel just graduated in May from the University of
Wisconsin in Madison with a degree in political science and will be moving to
and starting work in New York City in July. Gareth spent a semester and
a summer in Prague and I had the pleasure of being able to visit and
travel with him...just as my mother (who is 91 and still living in St.
Louis) did when she visited me during my junior year abroad in France 35
years ago. And Gareth was as impatient with me and my inability to keep
up with his pace and stay up until all hours as I was back then with my
mother and her tired feet and early bedtimes. So, as the song goes,
"I've looked at clouds from both sides now." |
|
Life and Family: Both of my children are now all grown up - my son
graduated from the University of Evansville majoring in math & computer
science two years ago and working as a computer programmer/project

University with degrees in social work & theology. She also is engaged and is
getting married next March. Cathy is still working for Cardinal Glennon Children's
Hospital as a speech pathologist (as she was when we met) and as of this June she has put up with my nonsense for 30 years. I'm still screwing around with computers and most likely
will continue to do so until I retire. |

34 wonderful years. After all these years, he can still make me
laugh. We have been in Atlanta for 30 years. Ten years ago, Bruce sold his

Spouse: John Gholson
Life and Family: Actually, our last 21 years have been quite
adventurous. 1986 my husband,children, and I moved to Vegas, and enjoyed the
benefits for 20 years. Now that our children have children it was time to
leave Vegas as it it not the place you want to raise children. So
togehter the research was on, as where is a good place to live and an
excellent school district. All signs poined to southern MO. Great schools,
close to the lakes, and still close enough to visit St Louis anytime. I
will be married 39 yrs in July, and have 1 son John who is 38, married to
Joanell, children are Aubryann 7 and JohnSam 3. Daughter Jodi, is
married to Jesse and their children are Jessica 12 and Juliana 10. I guess
that makes us the proudest grandparents of 4.

is in communications/radio in Jefferson City. I just retired after 35
years of teaching in the Ritenour School District. My retirement was
short-lived. They offered me a part-time position as a Title I remedial

totally lost touch with almost everyone. Married in 69, lived overseas
for 10 years, had 2 sons, got divorced. OK, so much for the distant
past.I lucked into a career I love, working in health science publishing
for almost 28 years now. Have 2 great sons, 30 and 34, and 2 incredible
grandchildren, 3 and 7. I lost both parents way too early, but I think
I'm closer to my kids because of it.

Spouse: Terri Gordon
Life and Family: In 2005, while working as Executive VP of Operations
for an Insuance Broker in Chicago, the company was bought out by another
company and our office was closed. So, after 27 years in Chicago, we
packed up the dog, the cat, the rest of our belongings and with tears in
our eyes (and no job), headed off into the sunset. Actually, we headed
southeast and now reside in West Palm Beach, FL. Due to my engineering
and insurance background, I was able to land a job at a large national
insurance brokerage operation not far from where we live.
We actully wanted to get away from the rat race in Chicago for some
time now and this just seemed to be the right time to do it.
It is truly like living in paradise; the palm trees and ocean. An
occasional hurricane beats the heck out Chicago winters. |

been raising kids for the last 10 years. I have two sons age 17 and
14 and while many of us have grandchildren , I didn't quite do it that
way and it has been great. I am also juggling married life and a full
time private practice as a pychologist in Kansas City. I feel I am in a
different phase of my life after years of irresponsibility and fun
times, life is a little more serious which seems like a great place to be
right now.

radio morning show with my partner, Dave Holly, for 3 blissful years!!!! After
having worked in New York for CBS Network for 4 years, doing camera work, technical
jobs, hosting my own live radio show was the whipped topping for me!! I am blessed
in many ways. Unfortunately, my husband of 22 years moved on but the boys and I are
doing great and having a blast here in the Midwest, being a creative part of our
community and we have moved on!!!!! Our goal for 2009 is to live in Arizona and

Spouse: Elaine Kootman Iken
Life and Family: My last 10 years have been especially wonderful for
Elaine and me. We have been blessed to watch our wonderful children
become special adults right before our eyes. They (Lisa and Greg) have both
met, fell in love, and married their soul mates and they have given us
four unbelievable grandchildren. Madison, 5, Samantha, 3, Max, 3, and
Ben, 1. Those of you who have been blessed to have grandchildren know
what I'm talking about. We are very lucky that they all live in town,
because we are both very hands on grandparents (Pop and Meme). They
usually sleep over at least once a week and we babysit alot. Of course, the
best part is being able to give them back to their parents, they really
poop us out. My work continues to be both rewarding and fun, so I plan
to continue working for many years to come (I pray). I started playing
men's baseball (hardball) about 8 years ago, and except for my job and
family, it is the best thing in my life. It's great fun and we old!
timers are happy when we come home without pulling or tearing
something important. Elaine and I love to travel, cruising especially, or any
other internet special Elaine can find

Spouse: Harvey Seigel --- U. City '67
Life and Family: We may be empty-nested, but the Seigel family is still busy with our Terriers, a couple of Bostons, a Jack Russell mix and a terriwhatsit. We
are lucky both of our children bought homes nearby so Jay (computer
career), and Karen (teaching career) can bring their Boston Terriers over
for play dates. Somehow my parents ended up with a Lab but she
crouches down and tries to pretend she fits in. I work part time at a law
office and enjoy going to various sports events depending on the season. |

Life and Family: In 2002 I married the most wonderful woman in the
world. In 2005 I had one of the two most wonderful children in the world
(I already had the other one). My parents reached age 88 and 90, sold
our house on Cornell and moved to Atlanta, so I lost my last firm
connection with University City. |

child get his MBA from U.of Chicago and get married shortly thereafter. I
still enjoy taking care of kids, and now the children of kids I used to

ageless and active. I enjoy simple pleasures: gardening, driving my 1975
TR6, seeing my family whenever I can, reading and listening to music.
Next 10 Years: Traveling some would be nice, making new friends and
enjoying more time with old friends. Slowing down a bit at work to make more
time for chasing all those dreams on the wish list of life. Welcoming
more grandkids into the world and watching them grow up would be
wonderful. Staying healthy and active for another 10...hell, 40 years would
do very nicely.
Favorite Memories: Doreen, "sock-hops", Camp Whitecloud, many of my teachers,
being able to ride your bike anywhere safely, Fitz's rootbeer stand,
Velvet Freeze, times I shared with friends.

Life and Family: I've been in the San Francisco Bay Area
the last 30 years. I fell in love with this area when,
after graduating high school and hitchhiking to the
Haight-Ashbury, I spent that Summer of Love in San
Francisco. I returned to U.City, casting about for the
next few years, and moved to Moscow Idaho in 1973 with my
girlfriend. In Idaho I worked as a land surveyor, then went
back to school at the University of Idaho, collecting a
degree in geology.
I got into UC Berkeley as a grad student and moved to the
Bay Area in 1979. I left school in 1981, spent a
summer mapping ruins in Turkey, and traveled a lot doing
mineral exploration until 1986. I'd met a fabulous
woman (my wife Dulce), decided to quit the traveling
geologist's life, and started working in software
development. The last 15 years I've been a web
engineer.
I've a stepdaughter Erin 33 and son Douglas 22.
Lovely people they.
Bicycles are my favorite toys and I'm riding a lot, both
road and dirt.

Spouse: Dennis Murphy
Life and Family: I've been in administration at a real estate
company since 1986 because I need a reliable source of income and health
insurance! But starting in late 1995 I followed my heart and also took on
the "spare time" job of training assistance dogs for physically
handicapped people. This was a very challenging pursuit, and I put many long
hours into helping people gain their independence. I have just
recently "retired" from this endeavor after more than ten years, but I found
sharing my expertise in this area to be the most rewarding thing I have
ever done. |

Spouse: David Brockett
Life and Family: Dave retired from the Secret Service nine years ago and I quit substitute teaching. So, after over three decades of marriage and moving from California to Indiana, we finally got to spend time together. We enjoyed living on a lake, but I thought building a house on the beach in Florida would be better and learned the meaning of the phrase "be careful what you wish for you may get it." We lived between Destin and Seaside, in Blue Mountain Beach (50ft. elevation counts as a mountain in Florida). We jumped into the community life. Dave wrote songs for a musical called Grit and Grace, and I was on the board of three non profit organizations, writing a column for the local newspaper, teaching art, and even acting in a community theater. Even so, after taking about 400 photos of the sunset, we got tired of living with tourists and moved to the big city down the road a piece, Pensacola. Now I only teach once a year at an art convention in Las Vegas and my artwork is in Gallery 331. Our older daughter, Kim, recently had our first grandchild, William, and since her husband is in Iraq we got to be with her for Will's birth. Her younger sister, Melissa, is an attorney working as a law clerk for a federal judge in Nashville. We love to travel and visit with friends all over the country, and go on a couple of cruises every year.

Life and Family: After reading all the lengthy bios everyone seems to
be writing, and after being brave enough to submit a photo, I decided it
was time to pump up my info. After graduating from the University of
Illinois, I moved to Chicago to get my master's from Northwestern.
Fate intervened when I met the love of my live in 1972 when we were both
working at the Chicago Tribune, selling ad space. The master's was put
on a back burner, and I never went back. However, daughter, Dana (29,
also U. of I. grad, buyer for Bon-Ton, lives in Milwaukee) got her
master's from University of Wisconsin, Milwaukee. Son, Douglas (26, also
U. of I. grad), is a manager at Albertson's Foods. Haven't been back to
St. Louis in a long, long time but awfully excited about returning for
the 40th. Like a lot of you out there, hope I recognize you and you
do the same for me! |

Spouse: Donna Wilcox Schnurman
Life and Family: I currently sell sheet rubber and conveyor belting to
mostly industrial accounts. Most of my time is spent with my 22 year
old son who is a bright autistic young adult. Too bad he has a handicap
because he would have been a good athlete. I would like to think he
gets it from me, but I'm sure it is mostly from my wife's side of the
family. Her uncle use to play ball for the St. Louis Browns in the 50's.
Tough thing about getting older is that your close friends and love
ones pass away. Lost a good friend and U City 67 Grad when Milt Platnico
died in June 2001. I still enjoy seeing myself on the TV screen when
the movie White Palace comes on. I am dancing in the wedding reception

relationships and what's really important in this time we have on earth. We
were involved in a terrible car accident where I was severly injured.
My husband and brother were the so supportive and caring and for that I
will be forever grateful. Not having much family any longer, I was
amazed and humbled by the friendship and encouragement I received . It
reinforced what I've always felt--that friendship is truly a bond that is
to be treasured. Enough of the heavy stuff--I'm anxious to see so
many of you that I remember so fondly. |

groups, hired speakers and set up programs.Then in 2005, I discovered I

Life and Family: My life has turned out better than I thought. My
marriage to Felicia has a lot to do with that. In the past ten years I've
thought a lot about my years at Pershing, Hanley, and UC. I am
thankful to my old friends that I grew up with [Danny Dreyfus, Danny Seymour,
Sammy Kelner, Louie Lazarus, Tim Mullin, Bill Goggin, Bill Sevedge,
Mark Goldstein, Joe Tate, Pete Freeman, Larry Veltrop, Ricky Smith, Phil
Brooks, Don Wood, Pete Vaccaro, Tommy Perrin, Wayne Markman and others]
The girls I remember- Carol, Janice, Marcia, Cathy, Susan, Linda (who
also taught kg), and Leah who taught me about books. Who could forget
the fastest kid in the school- Linda Jean Jones! They all helped me
become the person that I am today. Through play and interaction they
taught me about how to get along with others, how to play sports, about
other religious faiths, and how to play fair. I think about school because
I have been a teacher since '71 and for the past 4 years I've b!
een teaching kindergarten. These people helped me get there. I have
passed along their teachings to the little ones. |

happiness in my grandson, Jackson. Watching my boys grow into men in
what seems like a dream and now experiencing the sheer joy of being a

is. I have also discovered my passion is helping to feed the hungry
through Operation Food Search. I hope that when I retire, I can devote my
time and energy to this cause. |

Life and Family: Professionally, I spent the last 10 years supervising
speech implementers in the SLPS. These are gals/guys with a Bachelor's
degree in Communication Disorders who work full time for the district
while working on their Masters degree. They did the therapy under my
supervision while I was responsible for all legal things (IEPs, meetings,
testing, etc). Personally, I lost 50+ pounds and gained a new respect
for exercise (a word that didn't exist in my vocabulary before!). I
traveled to Eastern Europe and Israel for the first time and watched both
of my kids graduate from college. |

Life and Family: The past 10 years have been great. Our daughter Sara
got married & our 1st grandchild was born Jan. 2006. I retired early to
watch her 3 days a week. What a joy! Keeps me young!
Our son, Matt moved from Chicago where he went to college to NYC to
pursue a career on Broadway. We enjoy trips to NYC to see him. I enjoy
reading and spending time with friends. |

Spouse: Jane Sandler Zemel
Life and Family: Daughter #1 graduated from Indiana and is working in
New York City as Youth Director at Congregation Rodeph Shalom. Daugher
#2 is a freshman at Indiana. Spouse is a writer with Fair Isaac in Tulsa
and does some freelance for a local magazine and university.
I left the foundation I was working with and started a consulting
practice for nonprofit organizations (www.ontrackok.net) about two years
ago. That's been an interesting ride but I've been busy and I've always
wanted to give this a try. My primary client is in Jackson, MS and I
spend a great deal of time there. When I'm not flying back and forth, I
have a client in Norman and 2 in Tulsa, OK.

Spouse: Bruce Marbin
Life and Family: Hello all! I live in Oregon, and visit St. Louis
occasionally to hold hands with my dear Dad. Bruce and I have been happily
together 36+ years. We've both been active in the Montessori movement
in various capacities - my specialty has been parent education. One of
my identities is as a poet. I have loved knowing the ocean, after
growing up landlocked. A fairly new delight still-water kayaking. I also am
employed at a university as a writer and editor. Our daughter helps the
world as a social worker and lives with her wonderful partner; our son
helps the world in his work at Google in California. His splendid wife
is currently a resident in pediatrics. One big adventure: after their
"Hindjew" wedding, we had the privilege of traveling with them to South
India to hug our new extended family. Strange, trying to summarize a
life! If I make it to the reunion, will I be only woman daring to have
my own very white hair? Oh - it's been a long time since I w!
as called "Janet" - I am Jana, though for some reason I held onto
Zvibleman! To my friends during U.City days: feel free to contact me
directly. |
