| 1973 Dave Barber ** dbarber5@kc.rr.com After Brandywine I attended the University of Michigan and after graduating from U-M I moved to Seattle and worked for a division of McGraw-Hill for 20 years. I met my wife in Seattle and we had two daughters and two cats, not necessarily in that order. Janet and I got fed up with Seattle and spent a few years as corporate gypsies, moving first to Morgantown, WV, then Irving, TX and finally Lee's Summit, MO. I thoroughly enjoy being back in the Midwest, right down to the oaks and maples in our yard and the large lake due west of us, but instead of U-M here it's MU and that' just doesn't sound right. I still spend my days chained to a computer like I did for McGraw-Hill, only this time I get to write what I want to write. |
| 1973 Kathi (Gray) Carney ** kathicarney@verizon.net I have always thought of Brandywine as my alma mater, however. I have 4 sons, Jayson, Dru, Kristopher, and Sam and 7 beautiful grandchildren, ages ranging from 8 down to 2 years. Would love to hear from any of my classmates! |
| 1973 Peggy (Leach) Eslick ** pdeslick@comcast.net Been married for 16 years, have 3 kids and 1 grandson 3 yrs old. I have lived in California close by my mom & dad since 1979. My husband and I like to ride our Harley and take trips on weekends. My husband owns his own landscaping business and I work with him. I worked in the banking business for about 15 years prior to being able to work in our business and stay home with the kids. They are active in sports and that takes lots of traveling time. |
| 1973 Debra (Luke) Pingel ** romeo12003@yahoo.com My grandmother was Melba Clark she cooked at the old junior high, my aunt was Mary Varner, she taught at Brandywine, and my uncle Dale Clark graduated from Brandywine in 1967. |

We enjoy doing crafts together, having game night, getting all 20 of us together to go out to eat among other things too numerous to mention. If anyone is going to be in my area let me know we can try to get together. |

| 1973 Carolyn (Scherer) Palmer ** gograndmago2003@yahoo.com I have been married for 27 years and I am now living in Lakeland, Florida. I have 4 children 2 of which my husband and I adopted this past Dec. We have 3 girls 26,22,4 and a son 7. I work at the University of South Florida for the Florida Kinship Center. I work with grandparents that are raising their grandchildren. I have met with our Governor Jeb. Bush last year and helped get 2 new laws past for grandparents. I have represented the state of Florida at national conference for grandparents raising grandchildren that was put on by the Children Defense Fund out of Washington D. C. So all of you know why I am fighting so much for grandparents their are 2.2 million grandparents that are raising their grandkids across this country. My husband works and takes care of the kids while I do the political things. In his spare time he loves to fish with our little boy. We are close to everything here in Florida no more that a hours drive to any theme park or beach. We go to the beach alot, so much that when my little boy was little he thought the beach was mine. So f you ever want any Florida tips email me I know some great places to go. |
