Edith Casey 1956 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.

Ann Clements 1956 Ann Clements Marshall

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 husband’s 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.
Ann Clements Marshall 2006
We have three children: Philip and his wife are dentists in Port Charlotte, FL. They bought Durfee’s 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 grandchildren—3 girls and 2 boys.
Ann Clements Marshall 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 don’t 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 doctor’s 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.

Linda Cohen 1956 Linda Lee Cohen

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.
John Cosgrove


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.

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.

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.

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 Pilot’s 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 Pilot’s 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,” I’m 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 we’ll 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.
