We grew out of the temporary modules into the new buildings; there was huge faculty turnover, and overall uncertainty as to who would lead the school. The roughly 20 of us in the second graduating class shared an unusually close bond as the primary foundation for the school was being formed. It may have been a controversial time, but it was also an exciting one. My mother was active on the board and she shared all of the latest developments and successes with me. The school, faculty influences and the friendships of our diverse class of personalities have always been important to me. The early Palmer years actually infused me with tremendous confidence in life. We were a supportive group and it has been life altering to reconnect with a solid handful of classmates, including Jim Wyatt, Mike Mills, Mark Delk, Sharyl Moore Jones, Susan Sheldon Sinscalchi, Libby Black and Mike Jessee. It seems to mean a great deal to them to be in touch again, and so interesting to learn what everyone is doing now. The friendships were complex because not everyone graduated with us, but friends such as Sandy Hunter and Marilyn Roach still have an allegiance to the school. I have not given up on my determination to find and contact the remaining "at large" classmates, even from far away Boston. A 35th reunion will only be a success if we get a majority back to the school and I personally will host a big party as a part of the festivities. I have embarked on this search, with amazing support from the PT Alumni office, via calling, writing, faxing, emailing and my last resort: flying around the country to bond with every one of you in person and encourage participation. I look forward to hearing from all of you!" Jim Wyatt writes, "After leaving Palmer I went to Miami Dade Community College and received a degree in Civil Engineering. I then decided engineering was not for me so I went to Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University in Daytona Beach where I got a BS in Aviation Administration and Management. Upon graduation I went to work for Eastern Airlines, which ended up being short lived (9 years) due to their demise. Then I decided to go into private enterprise doing government contract flying for the Department of Interior. After doing that for about 13 years in two locations in the South Florida area, I closed both locations due to the effects of the September 11th terrorist attack. Then I decided to capitalize on the housing boom and bought a bunch of houses and sold them all. Along came Hurricane Wilma and I decided to go into the roofing business. So now I'm enjoying life and working for Miami Dade County Park and Recreation and waiting for another hurricane. I have a beautiful daughter who is now 15 years old, I am still living in Homestead, and would love to help you with a reunion if you decide to put one together." Shari (Moore) Jones writes, "After 17 years of living in Chandler, Arizona where I taught special education, my husband Jeff was transferred to Motorola in Austin, TX. His company has now changed to Freescale Semiconductor. I continue to teach, only now in English, and Class Agent: Julie (Coleman) Mansfield juliemansfield@comcast.net Alumnews 28
