Hi everyone - it's Tina
Perrotta, 2001 grad. My friend Danielle Murray-Frey '99 has been urging
me to write something - so here I am. Let's see...I've been working as
a newspaper reporter since 2000; first with the Messenger-Gazette
(full-time), then the Courier News, Cranford Chronicle and most
recently, the Warren Reporter as a freelance writer. For three years
(2004-2007) I worked as an inner-city school teacher in Newark. Now
work full-time at the National Association of Fleet Administrators in
Princeton. I'm second in command in their communications department;
creating newsletters and stories for the magazine. I also freelance for
newspapers and a communications company in Jersey city. And, last my
boyfriend, Steve, and I got a house - an old farm house on 250 acres.
Oh, yeah, he's also a licensed pilot (and flight instructor) and we
usually spend our weekends flying around NJ and PA - so if you hear a
close plane overhead it might be us. Well if anyone wants to find me,
my email addres is perrottatina@hotmail.com.
Miss ya'll. Tina |

Hello ladies! Lots has changed
since my last post. We moved back. The Poconos were just a little too
rural for us! So I'm back to work part-time and enjoying our crazy
girls. Avery is going to be 4 in December and Natalie turned 1 in May.
There's nothing better than watching them learn how to be sisters. Drop
me a line! |

Since graduation...I saw a few
people (Abby, Beth, Andrea Mellowe) now and again. But not recently and
a lot has changed. My partner and I will celebrate our five year
anniversary in 2006. Five wonderful years I might add. We bought a home
on the West End of Allentown and are enjoying our space. In September,
we rescued a Yellow Lab. His name is Ceasar. We also have three Siamese
cats. So, as for our family...we are complete. I received my Masters in
Sociology from Lehigh University in 2003. I am working as a Quality
Assurance Specialist for KidsPeace National Centers, which I enjoy very
much. I am contemplating going for my Ph.D., or another Masters (in
Business). I have to admit I miss being in school (or the gaining of
new knolwedge that is). I will be celebrating my 30th birthday in 2006,
which I am looking forward to. Overall, life has been great to me and I
am enjoying it thoroughly. Namaste. |

Hello Cedar Crest. It was nice reading
what everyone is up to. My life sounds very similar to everyone elses.
Got married in June...went to New Orleans right before the hurricane
hit and had an opportunity to see its history. We then got stuck at sea
on our cruise ship due to another hurricane and had to skip a stop in
Grand Caymon to stay ahead of the storm. Doug and I are both hoping
that this is not a sign for the future....Ha! We did meet up with maid
of honor and fellow CCC graduate Liz Ortiz in Mexico with her husband,
so the trip was not a total disaster. No kids yet...too nervous and not
anxious to gain another 50 pounds...love teaching art, where I have
been for several years, at a school in Harrisburg. Looking for a bigger
house to start our family in the future...we adopted a dog to
start...his name is wiz...want to guess why?Lets just say he's lucky he
is cute, because he is working my last nerve...it would be great to
hear from everyone...send me a line...so who thinks they are heading to
reunion???? |
| Kristen Hawley Class Year: 2000 kristenhawley@comcast.net Date: 10/12/05 |
Hello All! Just a brief update on life!
I'm still living in "smalltown" Ohio - "Stupidville" - I mean,
Steubenville. I'm not far from Pittsburgh, PA (where I grew up). I am
finally being true to myself and admitting who I really am to myself.
(Aren't you supposed to truly find yourself in college?!) I am
currently in the midst of moving - my landlord is becoming increasingly
weird (coming in unannounced, moving things, taking things, claiming I
owe my neighbor for her electric bill - yeah, that one was completely
bizarre to me too.) I found a lovely townhouse in Toronto, OH and plan
to be in before December. I'm almost afraid to give my 30 day notice to
my current landlord, given his recent bizarre behavior. Any
suggestions? I keep in touch with several CCC alumns - not as often as
I'd like - but that's life. I hope to plan a trip to the campus next
spring - hopefully for reunion - if anyone is going, please drop me a
line! Life is strange and beautiful when you start to become
comfortable in your own skin. I have made many great friends in the
past few years in Ohio, but not as many great ones as those made at
CCC. Miss you ladies! Love, Kristen |

Unfortunately, all is not well here. My husband and I suffered a

Although we are crushed, we have our daughter and hopefully another
will follow soon. Feel free to drop me a line. I would love to chat -

So hello to everyone! It seems impossible that so much time has passed, but as usual life goes on! So this year has been an exciting year for both myself and some close friends. Two of my closest friends from CCC are engaged to be married and in June I joined their ranks as well!! My fiance and I have moved to a bigger apartment just outside of King of Prussia and I got a new car early this year. The year has been spent running back and forth from family and friends. Both Nate and I have gotten promotions at work this year and it looks to be a busy second half of the year as well! I hope to hear from some old CC friends! |

Hey everyone! Well, I did it, I'm a married woman. My husband Michael and I were married in Ocala, Florida on June 10. It was a small but beautiful service followed by much music and dancing (would we have it any other way?). Jennifer Jones Mease '97 was my matron of honor. After the wedding, we spent a week in Savannah, Georgia. Now it's time to start preparing for the school year to begin again (teachers go back August 2!) so we will be very busy. I look forward to hearing from all my CCC buds! Peace, Cate. |

Hi everyone! I thought I would post an update on my life. I am currently living in Middletown, NJ with my fiance, David. We are to be married on May 21, 2006. Thank you to one of my old roomies for introducing us. I am working at Middlesex County College as the Assistant Manager/Text Manager of Blue Colt Bookstore. Dave and I have a one year old who is black and stands on 4 legs. Shelby is half lab and half boxer and all energy. My spare time is spent planning the wedding and fixing up the house we have. It is good to see some people I know in the guestbook and would love to hear from anyone. |

Paula Czeisler |
I can't come to Reunion 2005 due to already having plans for most of the weekend. So here's my life in a nutshell for anyone who's interested and wants to catch up. As fas as I am concerned, I moved back to Randolph, NJ, after graduating in December 2000 (went for 4 1/2 years - why kill yourself in 4) - majored in Business Administration. After the new year, I found a job at a fashion eyewear company near my home as a travel coordinator/sales admin asst. I loved my job and loved what I did, but it wasn't meant to be. After 16 months, they eliminated my position. I was shocked and heartbroken; I'd made a lot of friends there. They did it at the end of the day so I didn't get to say goodby to many people. I was out of work for five months but I finally found a job on the local army base (Picatinny Arsenal, Rockaway, NJ). I'm not working for the government but for a contractor who is doing nonmilitary work for them. I am an admin asst in the safety and health department, and we do intertwined work with the government workers and share office space with them. So that's where I am today. My boss, the safety supervisor, recently quit in July and one of my good friends from work has moved up into the position so it's a little weird. He's a free-spirited native American Indian and he does what he wants when he wants and it's really hard keeping track of him! And I just found out that his boss, our Risk Manager, is leaving. So now I have to figure out if there's a better way to keep track of my boss cause now I'm going to need to know exactly where he is at all times! I keep saying that I think I'll ask Martha Stewart for her ankle bracelet when she's done with it! Not much else is new with me; no boyfriend as of yet, but I do know this one guy from Jewish singles events who's really nice and likes me. I have been going to Puerto Rico a lot with the family. My dad works down there sas an independent consultant with a group working for a pharmaceutical company who has plants down there. He has an apartment there (right on the beach) and everything. It's nice for my mom to have someone in the house with her here in NJ but the house is falling apart since my dad spends most of his time down there and only comes home on weekends. My brother finished his first year of med school at Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland. He has his own apartment and is enjoying school. My mom is still a special ed asst teacher by day and a Hebrew school teacher three afternoons a week. Hope to hear from you soon and keep in touch. Email me! |

Hey all! Just wanted to write and give you updates on what's new with me. I currently work in interior design, which I never thought I'd get into, but I absolutely love. I also teach dance a few nights a week (hip hop), but I really miss modern dance. It brings back a lot of what I learned from my angel, Carol Kelly. I plan on taking a few classes in strictly modern after the Christmas season when things die down a bit. Otherwise, that's pretty much the most updated information I have on myself. I moved back home to the Philly area, which I love. I guess we will see where life takes me next. |

Hi all. Just a little update on what I have been up to since graduation three years ago. I finished my MFA in dance at Florida State University this summer, now I am directing the dance program at Belleview High School in Ocala, Florida. I am loving every exhausting moment of it. I have plans to start a special teacher training program at the school, should be exciting. My pets (a dog and three cats) keep my time occupied as well. I guess I never would have imagined staying in Florida (I miss PA) but this was a great opportunity for me to share my passion of dance with future dancers. Well I guess that is about all for now.

Have you found yourself interacting
with any current college students, only to begin reminiscing on your
days at CCC? I recently had lunch with my former intern and she was
telling me about campus activities, classes, professors, etc....and I
found myself thinking about CCC and the professors there that I missed
the most. Here are my thoughts and memories...I'm interested in knowing
if anyone out there agrees, disagrees, or has memories of their own
that they'd like to share! Please feel free to email me as well! One of the reasons I chose Cedar Crest as my college was for the individual attention from professors as well as the feeling of "home" that the campus provides students. The professors that had the most impact on me as a student were Dr. Brancato, Dr. Pulham, Dr. Meade, Dr. Moyer and Maynard... Dr. Brancato was more than "just a professor" - he was also a great friend! Amazingly, he was able to treat us as students, equals/peers, and friends...seemingly interchangeably...yet, he was stern and professional when needed. Dr. Pulham, Dr. Meade and Dr. Moyer were three of the most empowered, knowledgeable women that I had the privledge of studying under while at Cedar Crest. Dr. Pulham was enthusiastic about Chaucer...she was incredible in the classroom for Linguisitcs...and always very thoughtful and interested in her students. Dr. Meade ws a force to be reckoned with on Philosophy...My Philosophy of Women class with Dr. Meade was perhaps the most intersting and informative philosophy class...she was incredible with the amount of knowledge and understanding for philosophy - and the ability to break it down and TEACH it to her students...not just to enable us to pass a class, but to TEACH it to us for a life lesson. Dr. Moyer was absolutely INCREDIBLE! She had this ability to act out mental illnesses in a way that made you laugh out loud and LEARN at the same time! Not only is she an incredibly gifted athlete and professor, but she was an incredibly gifted person! Her classes were incredible! Although I only had her for one class, she made a lasting impression on me and many of my peers! Maynard...well, all of you know, Maynard is Maynard! I only had one class with him, but he made a lasting impression on me! It was one of those "core classes" that you just don't know that you WANT to take, but you HAVE to in order to graduate...well, Maynard made you GLAD that you signed up for the course, and made your friends JEALOUS that you were going to his class and they weren't! There were many other gifted professors at Cedar Crest...as well as staff members.(WE LOVE YOU ELOUISE!) Remember, in the age of technology, refuse to numb yourself to individualized attention, instead embrace it...you never know what you'll learn by "interfacing" with a real, live person! |

Greetings from Ohio! Just wanted to drop a note to all of my CCC friends to say hello! I've been living in "Smalltown, OH" for nearly 2 years now - to think that we thought life at CCC in Allentown, PA was bad! *HA* I am making new friends and establishing a sense of community...I find myself missing CCC more and more with each passing day! I can't believe that it will be 2 years next month since the class of 2001 last laughed together on the steps of the Admin, walked through the quad as a class, and descended the stage as a new grad! To all of the current CCC students - good luck ladies! Cherish your memories and those time-honored traditions! Time will pass all too quickly and try as you might, you can never really recapture your college days! Love, Kristen |
| Robyn Thornton Class Year: 2001 rthornton@att.net Date: 04/07/03 |
Greetings ladies! After graduation, I made my way west to St. Louis and in December, 2002 earned my MSW from Washington University. I'm now working for the State of Missouri in the Department of Mental Health and loving it! I just wish I actually had to do one of Maynard's synopses in graduate school! I kept waiting, but I never had to do a single one. I'd love to hear from other social work grads out there! |

I plan on attending the reunion this year and wondered if some of the Lifelong Learning Students would like to get together for a catch up. Let me know. |
| Paula Czeisler Class Year: 2000 PShoshana@aol.com Date: 12/31/02 |
We'll be starting a new year in about half an hour, so I decided to sign the guestbook and let you all know what's going on with me! My email address is PShoshana@aol.com. Feel free to write! I am still in New Jersey with my folks and saving money. I now work for the government at Picatinny Arsenal here in NJ. Well, not really for the government but for a support services group that has a contract with them to do nonmilitary work for the arsenal. I am the Safety Administrative Assistant, and so far I love it! I've only been there since December 9th, after I worked 16 months at a fashion eyewear company after graduation in December 2000. Other than that, things are going well. Was so sorry to hear about Dr. Honig's death, even though I never had him. Will always remember his and Dr. Moyer's skits at Student Faculty Frolic! Keep in touch! -- Paula |

Hello everyone!! I can't believe it has been two years since we graduated. I am currently working at Merck in the vaccine operations division. I became engaged the past August to Jeff who I have been with since sophomore year. We recently purchased a new house that is under construction in Pennsburg, PA. I hope everyone is doing well, keep in touch. |

I recently returned home to Tallahassee after a week long return to Cedar Crest. I was one of the two Alum (along with Mandy Lawrence 2001) who returned to once again dance on the CCC stage. We were part of the original cast of Promise, a piece choreographed by the late, C. Welton K. This was an amazing celebration of Carol's life and work. She will be missed greatly, that is not a secret, but her legacy lives on. If you have stories about Carol that you would like to share I would love to hear them, please email them to me. My heart breaks when I think about future generations of dancers who will never know Carol or experience her love of dance. Carol does live on through the strengths of the current dance faculty; Robin, Betsy, Margo, Nicole, and Patty, and the unique strengths that are within the Dance Major. I want to thank the faculty and current students for allowing
me the wonderful chance to dance once again for Carol. I am so
looking forward to hearing of the wonderful experiences that I'm sure
will be coming to dance majors like; Susie Anhorn, Mimi Boyarsky,
Heather Brannen, Tiph Ghares, Lisa Knapp, Caryn Lutz, Jaime Kuhns, Sara
Mahoney, Cassie Mora, and Jamie Swartwood. Mark my words, these
phenomenal womyn will be going far and making exciting futures for
themselves in the dance world. Yes, Carol does live on through
each of us! |

Gina Gagliardi Class Year: Would have been 2000, but I had to leave CCC in 1998 due to financial reasons GSGags@aol.com Date: 12/12/00 |
I wanted to send a hello out there to
all of the family from
Cedar Crest. I miss you all terribly, and I regret my having to
leave the
college every minute. I spent the summer of 1998 teaching
learning disabled
students in Colorado. I then took a year off from college and did a
teaching
internship working with dyslexic
students at The Kildonan School in Amenia, NY. I am now into my
junior/senior
year at Eastern Connecticut State University in
Willimantic, CT. I am hoping for a December 2001 graduation. I hope everyone has been well. I have left my Email address so that any of my "long lost friends" can get in contact with me. Hope to hear from some of you soon. |
