Rollins Class of 1972 50th Reunion Commemorative Book

Class of Commemorative Book

Alma Mater

Set like a gem amid the waters blue, Where palms and pines their fragrant incense brew; O Alma Mater, as the swift year runs, Sing we thy praise, thy daughters and thy sons.

Sons who uphold thy fair unsullied fame, Daughters who love thine ancient honored name.

True to thy colors blazoned far on high, Gold of the sun and blue of bending sky.

Far from thy walls, wherever we may go, Still with a heart where loyal memories glow.

Still with a song for Rollins ringing clear, Guide of our youth, O Alma Mater, dear.

John Lowman of Rollins College defeated opponents from University of California at Irvine to clinch the N.C.A.A. College Division Doubles Tennis Tournament at DePauw University. The final score of the hard-fought match was 2-6, 6-4, 6-4. The tournament, played over a five-day period, ended June 12 after the Rollins team had overcome the opposition of Wheaton, Northwest Missouri, Luther and Georgia Southern.”

Winter 1972 THE CLASS OF ’72 THREE AND A HALF YEARS LATER Rollins has experienced a transition during the past several years, and the class of ’72

JANIS HIRSCH is a theatre major specializing in stage management. She was a member of the Pi Beta Phi sorority, but when that group gave up its national status to form

ROLLINS ALUMNI RECORD

has been caught in the middle of it. When this year’s seniors entered Rollins only three courses were required each major term, and the winter term was divided into two fourweek periods. Women’s hours were 10 p.m. week nights and 12:30 a.m. weekends, and men were not allowed past the living room of any women’s dorm. The school had been in a state of transition for about two years before the class of ’72 entered. However, with the arrival of President Jack B. Critchfield in July, 1969, the rate of change significantly increased. The 4-1-4 course load strengthened the curriculum and created a viable winter term. Women’s hours have melted away until now only freshman women have hours. The Greek system, which once completely dominated the campus, with 86% of the student body affiliated, is now losing the battle to maintain a majority. How do the seniors view this transitory period? How do they feel it has affected them and the college?

Five seniors, representing a cross section of the class, were interviewed to find the answers to these questions.

a local club, she decided to end her affiliation.

Her progress at Rollins, she said, has run parallel with the changes in the sorority system. When she pledged Pi Phi she termed herself as “a real screamer,” taken in by the whole idea of sororities. “I got excited over dressing like a sorority girl, and involved myself in minor offices Janis in the student Hirsch government to promote my group’s image on campus.”

Her sophomore year she became increasingly unhappy with the sorority, and therefore took the opportunity to leave when her group disbanded the following winter. This year as a senior, even though she feels somewhat disoriented, she says she is far happier than when she was under the restrictive sorority system.

ROLLINS ALUMNI RECORD

Chuck Morton

CHUCK MORTON, as one of the first black students to come to Rollins, notes a very slow improvement in black-white relations. “The typical student at Rollins is not used to any real contact with blacks, leading to an initial nervous reaction from both sides. This, along with the blacks’ tendencies to stick together, does not encourage any real integration,” he said. “Through a natural selection of friends, the black students have banded together into almost a black fraternity.” Even though he believes President Critchfield is sincere in his efforts to improve black relations, Chuck pointed out that the President had to face an established system that is slow to change.

“Too few social outlets are open to the black students. However, the recent increase in black enrollment has helped this problem,” he explained. A history and public affairs major, Chuck commended the department for being conscious of problems and actively working to solve them. He was especially pleased with this year’s addition of two new public affairs professors, one of whom is Rollins’ first black teacher. He is quite optimistic for the future of the department.

BERT MARTIN is president of his fraternity, president of the Chapel staff, co-captain of the crew team, and a resident advisor in one of the fraternity houses. He is a participant in the 3-2 Crummer business program.

Bert came to Rollins planning to transfer as soon as possible. Before the end of his first term, however, he was so impressed with the College that he decided to stay.

“Even though the academic requirements are stringent,” he said, “I have been able to participate in a wide variety of activities, benefiting from each of them.” He believes that fraternity life has been an invaluable experience for him, and he has carefully watched the change in the Greek system.

“A couple of years ago, I thought that the change was due to drugs,” he said. “Now I realize it’s due to a new individualism and an uncertainty of goals.” Bert says he once believed that the Greek traditions and

pledge programs turned people off. Now, however, with new pledge programs and the overhauling of traditions, the Greek system is reorganizing. “Some people may come back, but the system will probably not enroll 75% of the student body again. The freshmen this year represent what we had in mind when we pledged.” “This year’s first-year Crummer program will be a better preparation for the second year than it has been before,” Bert claimed. He says he’s working harder this year than ever before, yet he’s actually learning for the sake of knowledge rather than for grades. Bert finds the overall program very beneficial and improved.

WENDY SCHAETZEL Considering the fact that Wendy Schaetzel is president of Panhellenic, the organization of sororities, she has a rather unusual outlook on the Greek system. “The Greek system should

be dissolved,” she said, “because too many people limit their fields of interests and friends to one group. This is one of Rollins’ major problems, she noted, because it perpetuates communication problems.”

Wendy still isn’t sure why she first became involved in sororities. She came to Rollins opposed to Greeks. However, she went through rush to see what the sororities were like, and, she became so intoxicated with the groups’ spirit that she joined.

“The Greek system,” she said, “is a good experience in itself. However, this does not offset its detrimental effects on the individual’s relationship to the entire college community.” She remained in the system and worked to become Panhellenic president because she was optimistic that, with the proper direction, the Greek groups could expand their scope beyond individual houses.

ROLLINS ALUMNI RECORD

Tim Shea

TIM SHEA, a three year, first string varsity basketball player, has always taken an active interest in College affairs. He has recently changed his major from behavioral science to philosophy, and, therefore, will have to spend an extra year at Rollins to fulfill all the requirements. Tim has a somewhat negative attitude toward the College.

All of the changes, he claims, have been superficial, initiated by a small group of people. “An intellectual void plagues the campus, with no discussions of anything but social events. Everyone is always waiting for something to happen, yet no one is willing to initiate anything,” he says. “For such a small college, a great lack of understanding exists between individuals and groups.

The hypocrisy toward the black students is particularly sad,” he noted. Tim admits that the curriculum has been improved by recent reforms. However, he thinks many individuals have not taken advantage of the increased opportunity.”

TARS DOMINATE FALL SKI TOURNEY “The Rollins College Water Ski Team captured its own First Annual Fall Intercollegiate Water Ski Tournament, held on Lake Virginia. The Tars took first place by accumulating a total of 4,790 points, and the women’s jumping awards. In overall competition, the University of Tampa took second place with 3,905 points; the University of Florida third, with 3,635; and the University of South Florida made fourth place with 3,235. The University of Florida was outstanding in men’s competition, including tricks and jumping. The Gator ski club managed to take first place in each of the categories, while Rollins and Tampa tied for second. Rollins made itself known primarily in the women’s division, where world’s jumping record holder, Liz Allen Shetter, broke her own trick record with a 19.74 total.”

ANNIE RUSSELL NOSTALGIA “This year’s prevailing Broadway theme has been one of “nostalgia,” through the revival of many of the yesterday hits. In keeping with the trend, the Rollins Players have scheduled several popular, long-running plays for revival on the Annie Russell stage. In October the Players presented Cole Porter’s glorious musical “Anything Goes,” adapted from the 1934 original. Critics from every media applauded the performances, which featured such songs as “I Get A Kick Out Of You,” “Anything Goes,” and “All Through The Night.” Other revivals include Neil Simon’s comedy, “Barefoot in the Park,” presented in December, and the prize winning play, “Rain,” by John Colton and Clemence Randolph.”

Summer 1972 COMMENCEMENT 1972 “The 1972 Rollins College Commencement Exercises took place on May 27 and 28 in the Enyart Alumni Field House. The Sunday, May 28 ceremony for 191 Rollins undergraduates was keynoted by the address of Dr. Roger W. Heyns, President of the American Council on Education. Graduate and undergraduate candidates from the Central Florida School for Continuing Studies and Patrick Air Force Base Branch were honored with a commencement address by Florida Governor Reubin Askew, Saturday, May 27.

Included in the list of graduates were 27 students of the Roy E. Crummer School of Finance and Business Administration, 121 evening students from the Central Florida School, 96 undergraduate candidates from Patrick Air Force Base, and 147 recipients of graduate degrees in Rollins programs.”

Partner in crime and your favorite memory together: Jim Berry and our unfortunate Winter Park police incident with a trunkful of Coors beer.

Your biggest moment of triumph: Activities that kept you busy at Rollins: Academic work, fraternity activities, resident advisor responsibilities, golf team events, and juggling them all!

If you could choose your major today, what would it be? Marketing Favorite Professor: Dr. Lane and Dr. Evans Favorite Class: Any Jack Lane history class Funniest Moment: Too many to single out just one, but fraternity parties created quite a few!

What went through your mind on your first day as a student? Don’t be late to my first college class and I wasn’t!

Person you met at Rollins who you will always respect: Can’t single out just one.

Graduation. It had finally all come together successfully!

Lesson you learned as a student that you still value today: Be organized and patient with yourself if you’re trying to mix in the fun with the responsibilities life throws at you.

Life Since Rollins: I graduated from Boston University Business School with an MBA, got married and started my first job all within 30 days in 1974! I escaped to Florida and Boston for college and grad school but never left my hometown of Rochester, NY. I had two boys from the marriage but my older son died at age 25 from an aortic aneurysm. I have been married for the last ten years to the love of my life, Monica. The marriage mulligan has worked for us both! I had a 47 year career in banking and money management. Finally retired in June 2021! Still medium single digit golf handicap and great memories here that started with Rollins golf team. Rollins got me started and I’ll always be thankful for that.

Your biggest moment of triumph: Surviving 12 weeks of pledging!

Lesson you learned as a student that you still value today: A good school provides a well rounded education. A great

year, I was a student teacher and assistant baseball coach at Winter Park Junior High.

After our Rollins graduation, I returned to Ohio and put my teaching certification to use joining the staff at Cleveland Heights High where I taught American and World History, as well as an introductory course in Anthropology. It was an education in its own right with over 3,000 students grade 10 through 12. My hire included starting a varsity soccer team. At the time, soccer only numbered 50 programs in the state of Ohio.

I found myself coaching against coaches that I had played against in high school. It has been a source of great pride to have successfully started that program. I was also the assistant baseball coach. It is no surprise that my summers were occupied by sports camps and summer teams.

Not long after my return to Cleveland, a prep school friend introduced me to my wife of now 46 years, Martha. She is a geologist with a masters degree from the Univ. of Nebraska.

Prior to having a family, she worked as a curator at the Cleveland Museum of Natural History. We have three daughters that were lifers at Hawken School, also my prep school. Two of the three also graduated from Rollins, Megan ’00 and Martha ’05, ’13 MAT. Yes, the girls were far better students than me. The middle daughter, Jessica, gave us a pay raise and went to Miami of Ohio

where she played Division 1 field hockey. It is no accident that Rollins fell into the girls’ college searches. We would often drop by campus during spring break travels. Visits included making our way to the bookstore to load up on college garb. We also spent time watching the Tribe spring training in Winter Haven. Sometimes we would catch up with Boyd Coffie and watch prospects practice, in his role as farm director and Director of Instruction.

While the girls were growing up, I earned a M.Ed. from Kent State University, worked in manufacturing as a production coordinator for seven years, and eventually returned to teaching in 1987. At that time, I joined the staff of Hawken School teaching history and eventually became co-chair of the History department. The girls grew up listening to many of their friends call me coach and my oldest was unlucky enough to have me as her seventh grade Colonial History teacher.

Even after leaving the classroom and joining the school’s Development staff as the Director of Alumni Relations, I found time to be an assistant varsity soccer coach helping to guide the team over eight seasons to four state finals.

Eventually Martha and I left Cleveland, and I became the Director of Development at private schools in Potomac, Maryland, Fort Myers, Florida, and Racine, Wisconsin.

I retired after 26 years in private school Development and it was no surprise that we did not remain in Wisconsin. Just a bit chilly! A consulting job brought us back to southwest Florida where we reside today.

I don’t feel like a snowbird but we do spend our summers in the Les Cheneaux Islands just east of Mackinac Island in Lake Huron.

56

I had to pass the Upper Peninsula Michigan test before we could get engaged. It is a location that my wife’s grandfather first summered in the 1920’s and our daughters now bring our grandchildren. We have five grandchildren and they call me Coach.

Martha and I get to relax by boating, sailing, and playing a little golf. Martha also puts up with my hobby of photographing Great Lake freighters. I find them to be fascinating in both the service they provide and the history represented in their names.

We still come back to Winter Park fairly often and I am happy to say that I am currently serving my second term on the Rollins Alumni Board.

Partner in crime and your favorite memory together: Keeping a gerbil as a pet in our sorority room.

Person you met at Rollins who you will always respect: Dean Wettstein 58

Life Since Rollins: Wow – class of ’72! How the world – and I! – have changed!

Friends and sorority sisters may recall that I married between the winter and spring term of my senior year. (Hmmm – I wonder if I ever got money back for moving off campus my last term? Too late?) After graduation, we moved to my husband’s hometown of Lutz, just north of Tampa.

Following a brief stint in the banking world, I was fortunate to be a stay-athome mom for our two daughters. As they got older and more independent, I had several different jobs. Eventually I entered the nonprofit arena, working five years for Prison Fellowship Ministries followed by 16 years as the Disaster Response Coordinator

for the Florida Conference of The United Methodist Church. My responsibilities included coordinating our work with other denominations, volunteers, non-profit agencies, and private partners, as well as state and local emergency management, and FEMA. I also trained and assisted UMCs throughout Florida to prepare, respond and recover from disaster in their community and beyond -- and we had plenty of practice!

From 2016 to 2020, I managed the United Methodist recovery in Florida from Hurricanes Hermine, Matthew, Irma, Maria, and Michael. We received over $11 million in grants to assist the uninsured, under-insured or those who simply lacked resources to recover. Using volunteers and donated goods and dollars, our staff of 50 developed relationships and leveraged partnerships, assisting hundreds of families to rebuild their homes and lives. Upon my retirement in December 2020, I received the Distinguished Service Award from the Florida Emergency Preparedness Association.

During my tenure at the conference, I returned to Rollins, taking proposal writing and other courses through the Edith Bush Institute for Philanthropy and Nonprofit Leadership. I had come full circle.

Bill and I can’t believe we are celebrating 50 years of marriage! We are blessed to have two amazing daughters – beautiful women of integrity, kind and caring, -- who married equally amazing men and have given us five even more amazing grandchildren!

I loved my work in the nonprofit world.

Nevertheless, my biggest joy and delight is my marriage to Bill and the wonderful family we’ve raised. I am blessed and grateful.

Family Happily married for 42 years to Carol DeCesare Goode. We have 1 daughter, Laura (38) living in San Francisco with our very dear son-in-law, Patrick Cushing. We are blessed to have grandsons Jed (7) and Luke (3) who we fortunately get to see frequently.

Career After graduating, I taught 11th grade American History and coached Varsity Soccer at Orlando Edgewater High School from 1972 – 74. In 1973, my then fatherin-law offered me a job in his distribution company if I would move to Minneapolis. I worked for him for 5 years in a sales position which is surprising given his daughter and I separated and divorced after 3 years.

In 1979, I remarried (Carol) and joined an industrial valve manufacturer in and

progressed through Field Sales, Product Management and eventually Sales and General Management positions, eventually winding up in Chicago for 7 years. In 1986, my ex-father-in-law offered me an opportunity to purchase his company and that moved Carol and me back to the Twin Cities.

Over 23 years, I was fortunate to grow the company from a 6 person, single site local distributorship to an international company with offices in Minneapolis, Chicago, Seattle and Shanghai, China. In 2009, I sold the company to a London based company.

Now While officially semi-retired I continue to do some part-time consulting, Angel investing, sit on 2 Boards and am actively involved in an irrigation technology startup (www.irrigreen.com). I struggle with my golf game but enjoy my many golfing friends. My wife and I feel a little like nomads traveling between Naples, FL, Minneapolis, and San Francisco.

Very early one Sunday morning I waited by the button that controlled the sounding of the chapel bell. As the bell up above chimed seven o’clock I added two more rings.

Person you met at Rollins who you will always respect: Dean Darrah Life Since Rollins: Grateful to be amongst the living and to have enjoyed good health.

Grateful for careers that took me from coast to coast in Canada and to places far away and especially to Florence, Singapore and Hong Kong. Post Rollins, rather than pursuing law, I found myself on radio and television writing up the news of the day and delivering it — mainly on television, live interviews and some voice work.

Years later it was back to school at UBC in Vancouver earning a Bachelor of Music in Vocal Performance. Further along, a masters followed at U Miami. Daily TV took a toll.

Music made me happy. Grateful for all that’s been; the people and the places. The World Tour of The Phantom of the Opera was certainly a highlight. “Sold! Your number, sir?”

COMMEMORATIVE PAGES Life Since Rollins: Because of my work on the Sandspur, I pursued a career in journalism and journalism education. I earned a Master’s degree in Communication, specializing in print journalism, at American University in 1973.

My first real journalism job was in the Tampa Tribune’s Winter Haven bureau, writing about small towns in Polk County such as Frostproof.

That brought me back to Winter Park seeking a social life, and I married Gail Smith in the chapel two weeks after she graduated in 1975, Arnold Wettstein officiating.

Our careers took us to Atlanta for a year and then back to Tampa for nine years where our two children were born. As well as working on environmental and transportation stories, I spent two weeks on a shrimp boat in Mariel Harbor, Cuba, in 1980, returning to Key West with 205 Cuban refugees as part of the Mariel Boatlift.

64

In 1985, I was promoted to be a national correspondent for the Media General News Service in Washington D.C., writing for 23 newspapers in the Southeast for 22 years. I covered the White House in the Papa Bush years and Congress during the Clinton impeachment and wrote scads of news features, analyses and columns to explain Washington to the folks back home.

In 1994 I was elected president of the National Press Club for a one-year term and became its historian. As the news business contracted, I left Media General, first to tour the country in 2008 for the Club’s centennial, putting on forums about The First Amendment, Freedom of the Press and the Future of Journalism. I then accepted an academic position teaching journalism with American University’s Washington Semester Program, which brought me back to Rollins to recruit students.

For the past four years I have been resident director of the University of Oklahoma’s Washington journalism program. I have written two books published by The History Press: Trouble in Lafayette Square: Assassination, Protest and Murder at the White House (2018) and Tales from the National Press Club (2020).

Gail and I have lived in Arlington since 1985. She has been an elementary school teacher and still works part time. Our son, Andrew, and daughter, Carolyn, and their spouses are all publicschool teachers in the area. We now have four grandchildren, who are our delight.

Life Since Rollins: To paraphrase a quote I once heard, the purpose of life is living well, loving and giving. Being blessed with the parents I had, I’ve done my best to do these three things they modeled beautifully.

OK, enough with the big picture. Here are a few highlights of my life since leaving Rollins. I… • received a doctorate in curriculum and instruction from the U. of Florida • was in charge of training for elementary reading and writing for the Orange County Public School System • was Adjunct Instructor, School of Teaching, Learning and Leadership, Elementary Education, University of Central Florida, Orlando, FL, for undergraduate and graduate-level students in the areas of reading and writing

66

• continue to help others as educator of children and adults • have been married to Steve Leggett for 48 years, turning me into an avid Gator • sing in our church choir and periodically with a community choir, with a variety of instruments and often orchestra

• am active in church as choir member, Sunday School President and member or officer of many leadership committees

• am blessed with loving extended family

• served as editor for my 94-year-old dad when he published his book Come Laugh With Me

• am an avid reader and exerciser

• am family archivist, researcher and genealogist, and with my sister I have partnered to clean, restore and maintain graves in two historic cemeteries from the early 1800s

• traveled with friends to Europe each year after retirement until pandemic • belong to a book club that has met monthly for 20+ years • live in sunny Orlando near Rollins • acknowledge that Steve and I have a happy, healthy life, and smile with gratitude

Your biggest moment of triumph: Winning the NCAA championship in division II for golf and making a hole in one on my last shot of my college career

Lesson you learned as a student that you still value today: Making friends that were total strangers and getting to know them. I believe after all the classes we took, most were never absorbed or used in our daily lives. However, they taught us how to think for ourselves and deal with everyday life.

Person you met at Rollins who you will always respect: David Lord Life Since Rollins: After graduating in 1972, I moved back to Cincinnati where I grew up to start my business career. I went to Miami University in Oxford, Ohio to start my MBA

So retirement, which came just two years ago, is treating me well. Time to visit my 4 grandchildren, still playing competitive golf, enjoying the two magnificent venues we live in, and the new life I have started with Muffe.

My career at Merrill Lynch then began in 1983 and lasted almost 40 years. I married in 1976 to Rita Schick, had two beautiful daughters with her, both are now married and each have two children. Sadly, in 2014 Rita passed away suddenly from a quick and devastating bout with cancer. At the time, both daughters had just told they were pregnant with their first child. Rita passed away in 35 days from diagnosis to death. So she never lived to be the grandmother she always wanted to be. By the grace of divine intervention, I

was introduced to my current wife in 2015 and we are happily married living in Bay Harbor, MI in the summer and Vero Beach, FL in the winter. Golf has always been my passion starting when I was 6 years old. I would go on to excel during my high school years, be a part of a national championship team at Rollins, and an All-American as well. I continued after college competing at the highest levels of amateur golf across the country. My biggest achievement came in 1976 winning the Ohio state amateur championship. Also, along the way I competed in 13 USGA events, twice making it to the round of 16 and 32 in the national championship. Had I won my sudden death match in 1973, I would have qualified to play in the next year’s Masters held at Augusta National. I have made many, many friends while playing golf and truly believe what golf teaches you as a person is a great life lesson.

COMMEMORATIVE PAGES Lesson you learned as a student that you still value today: Work hard. Be responsible to yourself and others. Be nice to others. And laugh as much as possible

Person you met at Rollins who you will always respect: You’d think DJ and Mr. G, but eventually you find out your idols have cracks. You know who’s wonderful? Mr. Rogers: the real one, Dr. Charlie Rogers. He was kind at every turn, remembered every student, even years later, and used humor without rancor.

Life Since Rollins: Who says a theatre major is useless in the non-theatre world?

Not me -- my theatre training served me well as a labor negotiator and human resources director for the City of New York. You have to manage people (some are characters – like Sheiky who took out his glass eye, cleaned it in his mouth, and put it back in; or the man who regularly introduced himself as “Dick Dangler, happy to meet you”); coordinated with disparate groups; and acting! --- every

72

day with different purposes. Grateful every day for the ART, FST, Mr. G and DJ. I was so lucky to work with really smart people in City government through five administrations; and see first-hand that a government that works helps people. I rode with Paramedics in ambulances, negotiated (what I assume is) the first/only “Sex Club assignment differential”, and implemented the first automated timekeeping system in the city at the Dept. of Social Services Retired in 2010, I’ve been able to see a large number of Broadway, off-Broadway, and offoff Broadway plays. And I’ve been extremely fortunate to travel extensively. I’ve been to all seven continents: polar bears, penguins (on 4 continents), whales, hippopotamus, scarlet ibis, lions, and elephants and giraffes, Oh my! It’s an amazing world out there. Plus castles, mountains, lakes, waterfalls, and museums. Covid slowed down the traveling, but I’m hopeful for 2022 and getting out again to make up for lost time.

I’ve lived in New York City since 1973, because, really – where else would you live? We’ve been through blizzards (Snow-Magedon) with enormous piles of snow, multiple hurricanes, including Sandy with cars floating in the street 2 blocks from my apartment, at least 2 blackouts (hard to keep track), 9/11 for which there are no words, 2 transit strikes (learned to love riding a bike to work, in a dress, past the open trucks with live (and stinky) chickens (seriously). Because where else would you live?

Working on the “renegade reunion” in 2013 for theatre majors, classes of 1967-1978 (not actually sanctioned by Rollins – they weren’t sure what to do with this raucous group) was – and remains – a highlight of the recent past. As a result, many of us are still in touch with each other, enriching our older lives, and reliving some

of the great times at the ART/FST. I am a lucky, lucky woman.

What went through your mind on your first day as a student? Am I REALLY here and doing this? (Rollins acceptance, my scholarship, attending college out of state).

Your biggest moment of triumph: My senior voice recital with my parents in attendance. The first to program the recital early enough in the spring to save the last weeks for reading new vocal repertoire with accompanist Kathryn Carlo. A joy.

Life Since Rollins: My Rollins liberal arts education with a major in vocal music has taken me in directions I never could have foreseen. Unlike current students with access to Career Services and at least an initial “plan” as to what I’d be doing following graduation, what music student teaching let me know was that teaching was NOT going to work for me. I had no Plan B and wanted to try staying in Winter Park, but how?

In the early 1970’s telephone company employment was still a “cradle to grave ’’ reliable field of work, so thirteen years of

While working in numerous other fields, vocal music has always been at the center of my life with two decades as the soprano section leader of the Cathedral Church of St. Luke - Orlando and a parallel 20 years of participation as a member of the Bach Choir of Winter Park and serving on the choir’s first overseas tour committee (1990).

These choirs have taken me on 5 extensive tours of England and (via All Saints Church choir) to Ireland. In 1994, I became a charter singing member and the Concert Manager for the then newly formed a cappella vocal ensemble Orlando XIII which toured the state of Florida for ten years and appeared for five successive years as part of the Choral Artists’ Series of the Spoleto Festival held annually in Charleston, South Carolina.

In the mid-1990s, HIV/AIDS began its impact. Friends needing healthcare and support services reinvigorated my Memphis Episcopal prep school roots whose founding Sisters of St. Mary had put their lives on the line to service in the City’s yellow fever epidemic. I began as a volunteer for Hope and Help Center of Central Florida, but then became a staff member serving as the agency’s Pastoral Outreach Coordinator, not as collared clergy, but as a liaison to faith communities for congregational education,

hospital visitation, and funeral assistance.

It was my honor to be appointed by then Orange County Chairman Linda Chapin as a citizen member of the first HIV Planning Council for the county, when Federal funding from the Ryan White Care Act was awarded and funding distribution began. A decade of work as the Parish Receptionist of All Saints Church in Winter Park followed.

With the economic downturn of 2009 the first of three job layoffs and resettlements happened leading in 2013 to my current employment as the Front Office Coordinator for a financial broker dealer.

During Thanksgiving week of 2020, my mother celebrated her 100th birthday, always having been fiercely independent and with gentle supportive services, she remained in our family home on her own until January 2021 with only a brief time of health facility care until she entered heaven in March 2021. Our Tennessee homestead and acreage were my father’s inheritance from his family’s dairy farm and the discernment for the property’s use and future is being slowly and carefully considered.

I have lived in Winter Park and near Rollins since I graduated and have stayed closely connected to the College and its activities. During the Covid pandemic, the connection heightened significantly for me with frequent campus walks when the students were absent made me feel not only a privileged steward of the quiet, empty campus, but gave me a most grateful heart for the life gifts my Rollins education and experiences continually given to me.

that gave me income and training that I’ve taken through six (so far) job layoffs and employment resettlements, and I am STILL currently working full time. Following layoff from telephone work, I returned to Rollins, working first in the Philosophy and Religion Department as an Assistant Editor and Copywriter for Zygon: Journal of Religion and Science. Then I worked as Associate Director of The Rollins Fund for six years in the College’s first ever capital campaign.

Life Since Rollins: There is never a day that goes by that I don’t vision something or someone at Rollins College.

I remember the days as being “perfect.’ I would wake up in the morning and look out my window of The Kappa Alpha Theta house at the lovely poinsettias climbing up the wall and the sun shining on the courtyard – usually already filled with sun worshippers.

Then a beautiful walk to the Art History Building for class and after that a stop at the Lambda house for a quick visit. Running into friends along the Walk of Fame was always fun and perhaps led to a quick lunch at the Beanery.

Of course the end of the perfect day was dinner at the “Beef and Bottle” only to return to the Theta House to catch up with everyone just hangin in the living room.

People would come and go until the wee

hours of the morning, always interrupted by “The Sandwich Man”, Chick Hawley, about midnight.

Sometimes there were special events that occurred in the Theta living room at Midnight celebrating a pinning, lavalier-ring or engagement. Or a surprise awakening at 6:00am for a Sorority breakfast at some unknown location.

And who isn’t taken with the beautiful Lake Virginia and the sparkle off the water or watching Spaceships launching over the lake at midnight from Cape Canaveral. How about a walk down Park Avenue to run an errand or just a walk……maybe even stopping at The Langford Hotel for Brunch on a Sunday morning --- if you didn’t choose The Pancake House instead. All of the above, and so many more memories made up what I remember as “The Perfect Day”!

Activities that kept you busy at Rollins: Golf team and dates

If you could choose your major today, what would it be? Business Life Since Rollins: I met my friend Taylor Metcalfe, a 72 graduate, at a Christmas party and he suggested that perhaps I should think about transferring to Rollins from John Carroll University, because number one there are only 550 fellows and I should make the golf team and number two, there were 850 ladies and I should get a date. I arrived the following fall at Rollins College. After one year, I had to enlist in the military for 6 months and came back and graduated one year after I was supposed to, which was 1971.

I got my diploma in 1972.

Life Since Rollins: After Rollins, I moved to Gainesville to attend the University of Florida Law School. First time living away from home! I married my first husband in law school, and after graduation, moved to his hometown of St. Petersburg. Women were not really welcomed in the practice of law in 1975, and after 11 years of trying several firms and several types of law, I decided to change direction. The St. Petersburg Bar Association was looking for an Executive Director and hired me. That began a 24 year career as Executive Director of bar associations,

COMMEMORATIVE PAGES

eventually landing me in Washington, DC with a specialty bar association of national scope (arriving just in time to deal with 9/11 - I thought I had made a serious mistake moving to the nation’s capital). In 2010, I started my own business handling the administration of Continuing Legal Education programs for several national specialty bar associations, a business I closed in 2019.

I am now retired and living with my husband of 6 years and our rescue cat, Fritz, in Bethesda, MD. I enjoy arts-and-crafts hobbies, including jewelry-making and painting. When my husband retires next year, we hope to travel, but we will see how that works out between Covid and various health issues.

I have some very fond memories of my 4 years at Rollins!

Funniest Moment: Getting drunk for the first time my freshman year and swimming to the bathroom on my back at Elizabeth Hall with the housemother ready to haul me down for inquisition.

What went through your mind on your first day as a student? Excited to be away from home in a beautiful setting in a warm

climate where I and I alone were responsible for my actions.

Partner in crime and your favorite memory together: Spending 5 days in Utopia camping on an island on Lake Maitland with JJ Reiman, Cynthia Neskow, Steve Winchester, Maris Clement & a few more as we stood on shore waving goodbye to Dr. Cohen as he paddled his canoe back to campus, sick as a dog. We kept journals & had a blast. Even went skinny dipping!

Your biggest moment of triumph: Honored to have my dental chair painting hung at Morse Gallery; my 50+ page thesis on kinetic art; winning the intramural tennis tourney for the Kappas.

Lesson you learned as a student that you still value today: I learned how to get along with people from all walks of life even though the campus was not as diverse as it is today. It was up to me to take advantage of all that Rollins offered, and I did.

Person you met at Rollins who you will always respect: Wendy Schaetzel Lesko.

She became my best friend & supporter and continues to do so after all these years.

Life Since Rollins: I met Steve Wilson, a senior, through my sorority sister Marilyn Charles. We dated off and on for 2 years then married. Hard to believe it’ll be 50 years in 2022!

We had 3 wonderful girls. Sadly, our oldest passed away at the age of 25 after a 2 year battle with cancer. Our family discovered a strength we didn’t know we had.

I regret never having done anything related to my Fine Arts major but I still enjoy writing humorous odes for friends.

I became Steve’s office gal as he took over his family clothing store in Ohio then he became a personal clothier going to clients at their home or office. We headed to AZ in 2008 and never looked back.

Now retired, we’re dealing with the aches & pains of aging. Steve needs a kidney as he’s on dialysis at home (anyone know a person under 70 who’d like to donate?). We take it one day at a time and realize how lucky we are to be best friends and get along!
