Message: Hello to every CCC alumnae:
I just wanted to tell everyone that after 4 years of college and out in the real world... I really miss the campus life, classes, the teachers and friends.  If I could do it all over again... I definately would.  I am living in the Lone Star State (as of summer of '99).  I got married to a wonderful cowboy this past August (2000) and I am working for a firefighting company Williams Fire & Hazard Control (they manufacture the firefighting equipment and sell it all over the world ... and they are an emergency response team also) you can visit them at www.williamsfire.com and see my name on their web page.  My position?  Well I guess I do a little bit of everything, I am a secretary, translator (they have a lot of business with Central, South America and Spain) and also I am an assistant marketing. It is a lot of work, but I think it is worth it.
I wanted to thank Cedar Crest College and their teachers for preparing me for the real world and for making me the responsible and strong woman that I am today.  Attending this college was a great experience and CCC will be highly missed.  I love you CCC!!!!!

I have worked on the Corporate side of the bank. As of October 2, I will be working on the credit card side of the bank. I will also be leaving the city and will head back to my roots in Newark, DE. I actually live in the city now and love it. I never thought I would. I am renting a very old house with two other friends.I hope to buy a house next year. I was able to spend a week with my oldest friend, her husband and baby as we traveled through towns and countryside of Ohio on our bikes. I took up road cycling about four years ago. I am also busy at the gym,  taking piano lessons and am involved with a Bible study on Friday nights. I joined Deb Egan as a bridesmaid in Kim Tillotson Anderson's wedding this past spring. We had a blast. It was good to see many of you at the reunion this past June. I look forward to reading your up!

I worked for CCC for a year after graduation as a Residence Life Coordinator, then headed to New York City to get my MSW from Columbia University. I got married 10/9/99 (CCC sisters in attendance were Alison Bocis, Rebecca (Major) Weaver, Victoria Davis, Kerry Sullivan, Shannon Clouser, Jaime Dalton, Jackie Jones Szmigiel and Dottie Johnson Foley)and my husband Scott and I have made a home in NYC.  I am enjoying working for New York Presbyterian Hospital as a social worker for people with HIV and AIDS.  I work both as an inpatient medical social worker and in our outpatient infectious disease clinic as a therapist.  It is wonderfully challanging and fulfilling work!  I hope all of you are well and I would love to hear from all my old friends soon.  Take care!!

Electronic mail: clarkde90@hotmail.com
Message: Wow! It's been six years already? And so much has changed. The little science center at Cedar Crest is no longer little but highly advanced! Almost makes me wish I could go back and do it all over again.
Well, I just wanted to let ya'll who are interested know I didn't drop off the face of the earth (though I sure may seem that way).  Since graduation I have traveled some and worked quite a bit in my field (molecular research). And what craziness this research business is! I've decided to explore other options. Presently I'm on a 3 or so year vacation in Germany. I'm happily married to an officer (and a gentleman) and we are stationed in Friedberg,Germany. Where is that? If you can find Frankfurt on a map, we are slightly above it. What great adventures there are here! It's hard to digest the age of many of the sights...Roman ruins, 15th century farm houses,etc. Amazing! I recommend it highly.
I've taken a job on post in the Army Education Ctr. helping soldiers better themselves through testing, on-post  university classes, correspondance courses, GI bill eligibility after they leave the military,etc. It's certainly a change of pace from benchwork and I really enjoy it.
No babies yet but hopefully with the next few years or so. I feel like an outcast 'cause EVERYONE in the military has kids. I have cats. That's good for now.
Well enough for now. Hope everyone is doing well.

Message: Hi! How is everyone? Although I miss CCC a lot, I am enjoying teaching and coaching. I have relocated to the Hamlet of Amenia in New York state. Life at a small rural boarding school is quite different from being in Allentown, especially since I am living in the girls dormitory acting as a dorm master/mother- life is always exciting and interesting to say the least. The boarding school that I am teaching at is the Kildonan School. It is a boarding and day school that specializes in the teaching of dyslexic students, using the Orton-Gillingham methods of teaching. Well, I hope the rest of my classmates are finding that the "real world" is not as scary as we all thought it was last May and a big HELLO! to everyone back on the Crest.

Message: I had a great time reading all the Alumnae messages! I've only graduated a month ago, but I miss Cedar Crest, and can't believe I won't be returning in the fall :( As the class of '98's Alumnae Class President, I look foward to keeping close ties to Cedar Crest. This is a title I feel proud to have achieved. Much love and luck to all Cedar Crest alum and their families. :)

Message: Hi everyone! I have finally entered the modern age and purchased my very first computer so I can visit your Website. I have been very busy since May, 1995. I still work for KidsPeace National Centers for Kids Overcoming Crisis. I began working in the Psychiatric Hospital of KidsPeace right after Graduation. Since then I have been promoted twice. I have worked at the Dual Diagnosis in Saylorsburg (for kids with addictions, as well as mental health issues). I then became a supervisor in a house for pre-adolescent boys (12-15yrs.) at the Presidential Center in Bethlehem. Presently, I am working in the Adolescent Girls Transistional Unit (same campus) as a supervisor. My immediate supervisor is also a CCC Alumna! What's so interesting about this new position, is that I can work with young women who are ready to begin their own lives after years of care in the residential program. We help get them into college, get jobs and find housing. All of our programming is centered around building confidence and a sense of "normality". I hope to send some of our promising young women to Cedar Crest in the future. In addition to supervising the program I have also been asked to create a KidsPeace Internship Program for college juniors and seniors who see KidsPeace as a prospective employer. I have already placed three Cedar crest women in this program, and I would love to have as many as I can. On a personal note, for those of you who don't already know, I was married in July of 1996, to Shawn Campbell (a co-worker at KidsPeace). I now have twin sons, Nickolas Jacob and Gaelan Thomas (hence the e-mail address). They will be 2 years old in November! (wow!) Well, I suppose that is all I have to write for now. I am still in the area (Whitehall) so please contact me if you have any needs in the association for events, etc. See you soon!

Although I cohabitate with a Moravian alum in New Jersey, I have, as my friends would expect, not yet married. Always a bridesmaid.... Since graduation, I've participated in the weddings of Beth (LeVan)Raab, Jen (Byrne)Webster, & Lori (Westerman)Faust. Also saw Suzy (Dittbrenner)Hartz, Lori (Fauquier)Pellecchia, and Ingrid (Forberg)May walk down the aisle. Beth married my friend Chris Raab from Muhlenberg & was married in Muhlenberg's chapel. Look forward to checking this site for news on my CCC -- those I keep in touch with and those who I haven't!
