CLASS NOTES
to the City in terms of tax dollars, quality entertainment options for consumers and new opportunities for the creative community to realize their musical dreams. I went by the school last year when I was in town and saw Wally (was good to see him), along with a couple of the teachers that happen to still be at the school...Also had a great sit down with the Athletic Director. I am really hoping we can do something to get that gym looking better though. I am still heavily involved with basketball and youth so that is a passion of mine.”
for treating and managing these individuals. I have two who are transitioning from male to female in our male prison right now, using hormone therapy. Ray is still a manager with McKesson and he loves it. About six months ago, he started an intensive workout program, and he’s all muscled these days. Guess I better get my soft, flabby butt to the gym. I hope everyone is doing well!” Renee Mordecki LaVigne writes: My son Jared and I went to Scotland and Ireland for two weeks. A mom and son trip before he starts high school.
1988 Elizabeth Weiner: “The Weiner Family is just as busy as ever. Rachel just turned 16 and is getting around in her VW Bug pretty well. She was a hostess at Corky and Lenny’s in Cleveland over the summer, which is owned by her uncle. She’s in the choir, the honors program at school, and she’s about to have her (belated) sweet sixteen party. Anna (13) and Sam (9) went to Jewish camp in San Francisco this summer. Anna is in the National Honor Society as an officer this year, she is a second degree black belt, and she took care of her little brother when they were home over the summer. Rachel picked up Sam from a friend’s house yesterday, with Anna in the front, and it was so odd to see them all coming down the road! Sam will get back into his soccer team next week when school starts (we start very early in Missouri – August 12 this year), and he’s continuing with Hebrew School and Religious School. As an 8th grader, Anna still has Religious School to attend, but she was Bat Mitzvahed last December, so Hebrew School is done for her. Ray and I are plugging along in our jobs. I’m still a Correctional Psychologist, and while I’ve continued with the serious self-harmers and suicidal inmates, I’m also specializing in managing transgendered inmates these days. I’m going to a federal symposium in September to be a part of a nationwide group that is tasked with coming up with some more effective plans
