Classmates

Richard Weiss

Marital status: Married
Children: 3
Occupation: Writer/Editor
Comment: Great website.Whose idea was it to include then and now pictures? Bad idea.





I peaked at 29 and people said I looked a whole lot like Brad Pitt. What do you think?





I married Sally Altman, class of '70 Ladue, sometime last century. I have three children, all girls, Emily 30, Elizabeth, 22, and Katharine, 19. I worked for 30 years at the St. Louis Post-Dispatch as a reporter, editor and writing coach. Started my own business in 2004 modestly naming it Weisswrite LLC. Sally and I do writing workshops (including one for Newstead's swank accounting firm in Clayton not long ago). We work with journalists, businesspeople, students, corporations and, as the business card says, "anyone with a story to tell."





Sally and I are also part-time editors and writers for the St. Louis Beacon, a fledgling online journal with "news that matters" in our region. Check it out at stlbeacon.org. (Dale Singer, U. City class of '67 -- or was it '07? -- works there too.) I am also on KTRS Radio (550 AM) doing a media critique at 8:35 a.m. each Monday with McGraw Milhaven.





I should stop or you're gonna say this guy needs an editor. (My excuse is that I never worked for the Tom-Tom. As I recall the pay was very low.)





I may not make the reunion as I have family coming in from out of town. But please hoist one for me now that you can finally do it legally.





All the best,


Dick

Children: 2
Occupation: Semi-retired... I'm writing books!
Comment: I hope to have my first non-fiction book out in 2018, "Camino Lessons: Losing 21st Century Fears on an Ancient Pilgrimage Trail". I have another written, a young adult fiction, and am currently working on a sequel to it... Also working on a completely different book related to parenting and loving a Trans adult child.





Looking forward to seeing everyone. I have such fond memories of all my creative and forward-thinking class-mates. It will be wonderful to be together and appreciate all the positive differences we have made in the world
! Love to you all!





Thanks to all on the Reunion Committee! BIG thanks to those of you who helped me to move forward on my Camino adventure, Ellen Sherman & Nayana Hein. You are both in the book!

Comment:

In June of 2008 my husband, Rich, and I  were  married 38 years. We have 2 children - Sherry, her husband, and 3 children live in a suburb of Seattle WA. Joe, his wife and 2 children live in a northern suburb of Chicago.  Rich works for the Norfolk Southern Railroad as a Communications Tech and after 40 years is thinking of retiring December 2009.  He is also and Ordained Deacon for the Archdiocese of Chicago. I am a Hospice Chaplain and active in our church. With this schedule, we are kept very busy.

Kathryn White (Rybolt)

Marital status: Married
Occupation: Consultant
Comment: How does one summarize fifty years into a synopsis of just a few sentences? After  Syracuse University I spent a brief time in city management before concentrating most of my professional career in marketing communications and arts management (Saint Louis Art Museum and Theatre Project Company). I loved my years of volunteer work with Opera Theatre, SLSO, Saint Louis Arts Fair, and others. In 2000 my husband and I launched new careers in innkeeping when we purchased a B&B in Pennsylvania. After 15 years we closed the inn, although I remain active in the innkeeping industry as a consultant and cookbook author with 8 Broads in the Kitchen (our third is hot off the press). I love living on the east coast, but certainly miss St. Louis. It will be terrific to see everyone at the 50th!

Comment: It has now been nearly 11 years since my husband and I left STL to move to NYC. It has been without a doubt one of the best decisions of our life. We enjoy life here in the big city and are close to our 4 children, their spouses and our 9 grnadchildren. I am still working a bit at NYP Weill Cornell Hospital as a RN/Lactation consultant. We enjoy life together with friends and family and are grateful for all of the gifts that life has brought us.

Comment: Another reunion missed.  Wish I could have been there.  Sounded like a great time.  The website is great and I have been able to catch up with some, but not nearly enough, classmates.





Well, just 9 years and 11 months and there will be another.
