After graduation I attended UF and received a B.A. in acting. I was a professional actor for some time (stage, film, TV) and then started teaching. I taught at the Cushman School for many years. I went back to college and received my M.F.A. in acting/directing at FAU. Then I was hired as theatre professor at Broward College where I directed plays, operas, musicals and original works. I taught acting, directing, dramatic literature, stage makeup and movement for the actor. Since my retirement from the college in 2016, I have been directing and acting professionally. My daughter and I started a jewelry business in 2020. www.thejewelrypad.com

School Story

I was in the "Band of Distinction" at Gables (flute), "Uncle Willie" Ledue, director. We always marched in the Orange Bowl Parade and we performed at the big Orange Bowl football game each year. One year many high school bands gathered to collectively perform at the annual game. During half-time all the bands lined up in formation on the field; we were at the very back and the flutes were in the very last row. At a certain moment, there was to be a call for an "about face". Uncle Willie told us exactly what to listen for and stressed that we were NOT to miss it. Well . . . I was mesmerized - looking up at the crowds and missed the "about face" call. When I finally looked back, every single person in all the bands were facing me. I was the only person facing the wrong way. Swiftly I did a 180.

I just returned from a fabulous trip to Banff, Alberta in Canada. Incredible vistas and the people are so nice. Canada is truly focused on ecology. I love it! Immediately following my trip, I flew to Jacksonville to my granddaughter's wedding. Best to all! Debby

Debby, It was great to see you after all these years. When Alex asked me to help with setting up the banquet room on Saturday, I quickly learned that my main job was to not get in your way. I am in AWE of your enthusiasm and energy. I can say with some assurance that if we do have a 60th reunion, you will be the one pushing the rest of us around in our wheelchairs. Be well. Bryan
