Edith Casey
Edlin Louisville, Ky |
After graduating from Atherton, I went to work for Bell
South. Retired with 32 years service. I was a supervisor in the Data Processing
Center.
I married Bill Edlin, Sr. in 1957. We had one son, Bill Jr.
Bill Sr. passed away in 1985. He was the love of my life, along with my son.
One of my big thrills in life was when my son was picked to carry the torch for
the 1996 Olympic Torch Relay.
I am now employed at Meijers on
Hurstbourne Lane as a greeter. I have been with Meijers for 8 years.
I
have done some traveling all around the West and South Coast. I am now living
with a sister, and another sister lives next door. I am looking forward to
seeing everyone in June. |

After graduation I attended The University of Louisville. In
1959, I married Terry Forcht. After his graduation from U of L, we moved to
Miami, Florida where he graduated from the University of Miami with a MBA. We
returned to Louisville for Terry to complete his JD. We have lived in Corbin
since 1968. We raised our family of three daughters and one son in Corbin. They
all have married and I have 11 grandchildren.
We continue to maintain our primary residence in
Corbin, but have other homes in Marco Island, Hilton Head and Belknap Beach in
Prospect. My career has been in insurance. I am the owner and CEO of Key
Insurance Agency, Inc., a general agency with offices in Corbin, Williamsburg
and Lexington. I am also an owner and member of the board of directors of
Kentucky Home Life Insurance Company. We have interests in many other companies
and I am on the board of directors of Key Broadcasting, Inc., a radio group
with stations in Kentucky, Indiana and Illinois.
We have developed a
real love for travel and try to plan interesting and educational trips for each
year. We have recently returned from a wonderful trip to Machu Pichu in Peru.
Our entire family, including all our children and grandchildren, spent the
Christmas Holidays in Acapulco, Mexico. I am looking forward to seeing everyone
again at the 50th Reunion. |

AHS prepared me well. I have found out through life just how
good our high school really was and it was a public school!
I am an
avid tennis participant in leagues and USTA, playing with a 4.0, although with
age I think that should go down to a 3.5. After high school I participated in
softball as a slow ball pitcher and on bowling teams, not getting into tennis
until I was 38.
I attended Florida State University from 1956 to 1960,
graduating Cum Laude with a BS in Math Education, married Durfee Marshall in
1960, and then taught Junior High math at Barrett Junior High and Manual High
School in Louisville for 2.5 years. While at FSU, I was in the circus program
performing on the cloud swing and Spanish web for 4 years. I was also the
treasurer for my sorority, Alpha Chi Omega.
In 1982, I earned a BS in
Accounting at the University of South Florida, sat for the 2 day CPA exam in 5
accounting areas and passed it. However I was content to be a wife, mother,
grandmother, and bookkeeper for my husbands dental practice in Port
Charlotte, FL. I am still working for my son and daughter-in-law as their
bookkeeper doing accounts payables and payroll. |
 |
We have three children: Philip and his wife are dentists in
Port Charlotte, FL. They bought Durfees practice in 1990. They have one
son. Beth is a research tech and marathon runner and lives with her husband and
daughter in Gainesville, Fl. Tom is an electrical engineer and lives with his
wife and 3 children in Bangor, ME. Thus we have 5 grandchildren3 girls
and 2 boys.

My most recent accomplishment was to hike down Grand Canyon
and stay at Phantom Ranch. It took 8.5 hours for me to hike down 6 miles and
8.5 hours to hike up 9 miles. As you can see it is a lot easier to hike up,
then to hike down. Oh those sore toes. We started in ice and snow, but the
bottom was in the seventies.
My next accomplishment was to survive
Hurricane Charley. It has taken over a year to get our house back. Besides
tennis and working, Durfee and I walk every morning for 2.5 miles and try to do
weight lifting 2 days a week to keep are bones strong. Durfee and I celebrated
our 45th wedding anniversary July 7 th, 2005. Looking forward to seeing all of
you. ACM 2006 |
I dont know where 50 years has gone! It seems like
yesterday that we received our diplomas at the War Memorial Auditorium, us
girls wearing our white gowns. It saddens me that so many of our classmates are
no longer with us.
After high school, I attended Stetson University in
DeLand, FL until Jan. 1958, when I transferred to Florida Southern College in
Lakeland, FL, graduating in 1960. There I joined Zeta Tau Alpha sorority,
serving as membership chairman. After college, I was off to Abington, PA to
take their one-year training program in Medical Technology.
My parents
had moved to Ft. Lauderdale in 1957, so after finishing my training program, I
went home to Ft. Lauderdale. I found a job in one of the local
hospitals, and in 1962 I was married. We had two children, a son and a
daughter. My son is an architect in New York City and has one daughter. My
daughter and her two sons live with me, and she has gone back to college to
become a teacher. My house is not very quiet with two boys around, but, of
course, as every grandmother thinks, they are great kids!
I am divorced and semi-retired, working part time as a
Medical Technologist in a small lab in a doctors office in Boca Raton,
having worked in several group practices in the area throughout the years. My
hobby and passion (besides my grandchildren) is photography, and I belong to a
local camera club.
I have not been back to Louisville since 1981, so
the reunion will give me a good reason to visit again, and I hope to see you
all there.

WOW - 50 years have sped by so quickly. Education at the
University of Michigan, University of Louisville, University of Pennsylvania,
and Columbia University took only a few of those years.
Work for the
federal government began in the Regional Office of the Public Health Service in
Dallas, Texas, with work on the Medicare/Medicaid Programs, Comprehensive
Health, Group Practice, and Migrant Health. After 3.5 years, work took me to
Washington, D.C. - address Rockville, Maryland. Legislative work, then work on
coverage recommendations to the Medicare Program, and longtime work for the
Food and Drug Administration in the area of ophthalmic devices took the rest of
the work years.
My sideline business has been buying houses and renting
to unrelated people who share them. Being an active member of Toastmasters
International has offered a lot of fun as has travel and photography. Still
unmarried, having a sister, Carol Roberts, in Prospect, Kentucky, near
Louisville, and five nieces, along with their families, provides the family
aspect of life.
Retirement may start soon, maybe even before our 50th
reunion!

The last 50 years of John Cosgrove After leaving Atherton in
1956 I went to the University of Louisville and graduated in 1961 with a BChE
and in1962 with a MChE. Immediately, I moved to Raleigh and started working on
a PhD program in Chemical Engineering and obtained this in 1966.
After
graduation, I went to the fiber business specializing for the most part in
rayon manufacture. Plant process management was the main area. Considerable
travel was involved during the first ten years both domestic and
foreign. After that I settled down mainly in two plants. One was in Front
Royal, Virginia and the second near Morristown, Tennessee. This work extended
over nearly forty years until late last year when the last remaining North
American plant was closed. The companies I worked for were FMC, Avtex, BASF,
and Lenzing.
I have lived in Media, PA, Devon, PA, Front Royal, VA,
Enka, NC, and Morristown, TN. |
 |
Other life interests were extensive fishing on the
Virginia, North Carolina coasts, and include several trips to northern Canada.
Another has been a fascination with the wild. In Virginia I lived directly
below the Skyline Drive which was handy. Morristown is close to the Smoky
Mountains. In the past thirty years I have managed nearly every year to visit
that wonderful section of North America between Utah and Alaska. Foreign travel
has been an important part of my life. Fortunately, years ago I had many
relatives in the UK so that was a good starting point. Later this year trips
are being planned for the UK, Austria, and China.
JOHN COSGROVE
In 1958 I graduated from the University of Louisville with a
certificate in dental hygiene and married Jack Gorman. We moved to Marion In.
to start an orthodontic practice in 1962 and raise our 2 sons,Courtney 1960,and
Rusty 1961. 1967 brought our daughter Kathleen and completed our family. What a
wonderful life, great marriage, terrific children and then came the melanoma
and we lost our Jack, July 12, 1993.
In 1995 I moved to the vacation home we built on Sea Island
Ga. in 1979. A new life began for me when I met an married Rob Foster in
1995.
We are gypsies, traveling between Nv.,Mn., and Ga. Rob is a
geologist and remains an active prospector; hence the Nv. connection. In Mn.
Rob has tree farms where he does the planting. I cut brush and pack in the
lunch. I also paint children's furniture. |

Fifteen grandchildren play special roles in our lives. Life
is good!

The newspaper photo shows Josh Noland on the left and me on
the right, performing Elvis Presley's "Blue Suede Shoes" in Mexico City when
Josh and I were juniors. They had never heard Elvis before, and they loved
it!
I went to the University of Louisville. I married Roberta Cowan,
Atherton '59, and in 1961 I started seminary at Southern Methodist University.
I was ordained in 1964, but instead of taking a church, I got a Fulbright
scholarship to Oxford University in England to do a doctoral degree in early
Christian history. In 1970, I took a job teaching Ancient History and Religious
Studies at Indiana University in South Bend, and I'm still here! I have photos
of all the various parts of this story at
http://www.geocities.com/glennccc@sbcglobal.net/
and there is a resume at http://hindsfoot.org/resume.html
 |
The marriage to Roberta ended in 1978. Our daughter Anna
Grace is in Atlanta, while our son Ben is living just outside of Indianapolis.
Ben and his wife Jessica have two children, Gabrielle (5 years old) and Dylan
(born in January). I am now married to Sue Messersmith, who makes 1/6th scale
doll furniture for doll collectors, which she sells all over the world (her
website is http://lapetitedomicile.com/). I have
two stepchildren, Donnie and Esa, and Esa has a five-year-old daughter Eila.

In the 1990's, I switched my research interests away from
ancient history, and began working with young people struggling with alcoholism
and drug addiction. The people who run the treatment programs say that my book,
The Higher Power of the Twelve-Step Program: For Believers &
Non-believers (http://hindsfoot.org/khp1.html) is
the best thing they have ever seen for helping young people to develop a
concept of God which will enable them to work the twelve steps. It is not tied
to any particular religion, but works for people from Protestant, Catholic, or
Jewish backgrounds, or whatever else.
I retired from Indiana University in 2003, but I started a
small not for profit organization, the Hindsfoot Foundation, for publishing
books on the treatment of alcoholism and addiction (http://hindsfoot.org/). So even though I'm
supposed to be retired now, in fact I'm working harder than I ever did when I
was working for a living! I've also got some articles I've written posted on
that website.

Lawton Deceased April 7, 2000 |
After graduating from Atherton, I attended Western Kentucky
University; graduated with a BA in Mathematics; went through ROTC and was
commissioned a 2nd Lieutenant in the Army. Became an Army Ordnance missile
officer; served 4 years active duty; attained the rank of Captain. Served a
tour in Korea as commander of a HAWK missile maintenance unit; then was
assigned to White Sands Missile Range, New Mexico, in the best job I ever had
missile research and development testing. (Does that make me a rocket
scientist?)
While at WSMR, I learned to fly, and earned a Private
Pilots License. After military service, I went to work for the General
Electric Company, working on the Apollo moon landing program at Cape Canaveral
and Kennedy Space Center, Florida. I was there to watch the Apollo 11 crew lift
off for the first manned moon landing in July, 1969. Later, I worked briefly
for LTV Aerospace in Michigan.
Then I began a career of almost 32 years
in telecommunications: Worked for Southern Bell in Miami, Florida, for nearly
14 years; then lived in New Jersey for 18 years, 13 of those working for Bell
Communications Research (Bellcore); then almost 5 years for Lucent
Technologies/Bell Labs.
While living in Miami, I took additional flight
training; earned a Commercial Pilots License, with Instrument and
Multi-engine ratings, and a Flight Instructor certificate.

I have two daughters and three stepsons, who collectively
account for eight grandchildren thus, the many trips between Tennessee
and Florida, Virginia, and Indiana. Now semi-retired, Im
working as a real estate agent in east Tennessee. My wife, Charlene, and I live
on Tellico Lake, about 35 miles south of Knoxville. Come see us and well
take you for a boat ride (not the kind where you wear concrete shoes we
left those in New Jersey :>)
After graduation, I went to work for a Louisville law &
finance firm doing secretarial work. At night, I went to beautician school.
Moved to Miami Beach at age 24, and kept up beautician school until I met Paul,
my husband of 44 years. I then became a "Beauty School Drop-out". We have 5
children-4 girls & a boy- all married now and gifters of 10 grandchildren.
We go back to Louisville once a year to visit my brother, Bill, and go to the
races. Life has been wonderful to me.
We live on 4 acres in Jupiter,
FI-l5 minutes to the ocean. Gardening and grandkids are our life right now, and
we are having a great time at this stage.
