Comments:

This year I celebrate being an eight year cancer survivor.

I taught junior and senior high English for 27 years, all but two at Boyertown Senior High School. I was drama director for 20 years, and am currently preparing to play the Nurse in Romeo and Juliet here at Rowan, my first time on stage since...a looong time ago.

I earned my MA at Villanova University and my EdD at Widener University in Reading/Language Arts in 2000, and then moved to preparing future English teachers for the past 14 years at Rowan University.

Served (2012-2013) as Associate Dean from Sept. to January and then Interim Dean until June. I returned to Associate Dean's office July 1. It's not really a demotion; I chose not to apply to become the new dean! The stress could kill you!
Retired May 1, 2014
Currently teaching two grammar classes as an adjunct; retirement not all it's cracked up to be for me!

Judged women's gymnastics for many years while daughter, Karen, was competing.

Married to John E. Jorgensen (class of 1964 and retired Health and Phys. Ed. teacher) for 47 years.

Funny notes: Elaine Irwin Mellencamp was one of my students, as was Steve Burns of Blue's Clues fame. Both were in shows I directed at Boyertown.

School Story:

Reading "Our Town" in English class and hearing that the President had been assassinated.
Miss Jones getting married and leaving us...
I don't remember the TWINS article my sister does except as a fuzzy memory, but wouldn't it be fun to resurrect it if we could?

What elementary school did you attend?

Lynnewood, Oakmont, Coopertown

Hi, Diane! Remembering good times with you both at HHS and West Chester! Glad to see you are thinking about attending the reunion.

Edie was one of my favorite people from high school. There was never anyone sweeter or more caring. May she rest in peace in the arms of her Lord.

Hope everyone comes to 50th reunion. Last night we attended class of '64's and I was disappointed with turnout and setup as well as hard to read badges. I know that other than being one of the Wiener twins I was pretty invisible in high school, but I am really looking forward to reunion and will help if needed as I am now officially retired. Let's find as many people as we can and have spectacular get together.
