Fifty Years! What a ride. If you check out the yearbook pictures you will notice that Don Delaney and I share the same last name. We have been married for 49 years, raised 4 wonderful sons and now enjoy 13 grandchildren and 2 great grandchildren. We are both retired.

We enjoy the freedom retirement gives us to travel and spend time with our family.

After graduating from Atherton, I attended Vanderbilt University and received my B.A. degree in May 1960.

Three weeks later I married Harry Rosenzweig, (Vanderbilt ’59), and we’ve been married 46 years. We have 2 wonderful daughters, and our 3 grandchildren are the light of our lives.

For the past 46 years, Houston has been “home”. By 1966, we had our 2 daughters, and I had an M.A.degree from the University of Houston in Speech-Language Pathology and Audiology. Being dual certified, I’ve worked as both an SLP and a Clinical Audiologist. In the ‘70s, I taught graduate students at the University of Texas Speech and Hearing Institute, in Houston and later taught undergraduate and graduate students in Speech Path and Audiology at the University of Houston. In the ‘80s, I was a partner in a private practice in Speech Pathology. From 1980-82, I was President of the Houston Association of Communication Disorders, a professional organization composed primarily of SLPs.

In 1984, I was appointed by the Governor of Texas, to the first State Board of Examiners of Speech Pathology and Audiology. For the next 3 years, I participated in writing the proposed rules for licensure of SLPs and Audiologists, practicing in the State of Texas.

During the ‘90s, I worked in a variety of settings, with preschool and school age populations. By 2000, I had worked part-time for 20 years at a large geriatric center, providing both speech and audiology services.

Harry and I both retired by 2000, but continued to spend much time caring for aging parents and a grandchild with special needs. We enjoy and are regulars at the Houston Symphony and the Alley Theater. We love to travel and are looking forward to doing a lot more of it in the immediate future.

After Atherton I graduated from Centre College and married my husband Franck.

Eight years ago we moved to Big Canoe, a mountain resort 1 hour north of Atlanta, after spending most of our married life in Atlanta. We have 2 daughters and 4 grandchildren (luckily all in Atlanta. ) I spent many years teaching Home Economics and for the past 20 years I have operated my own business ( decorating with a specialty in window treatments. ) We enjoy spending time with friends and family, traveling and many activities at Big Canoe. I also play violin with the Reinhardt College Symphony.

Many thanks, to all the people who have worked so hard organizing the reunion. I look forward to seeing you there! Nancy Dixon Collier 2006

After graduation I attended U of L for a year and then worked at South Central Bell.

I now do a lot of charity and civic work, travel and enjoy my new place in Naples, Florida

Upon graduation from AHS I began getting ready to enter nursing school at Ky. Bapt. Hosp. (KBH) in August. I was very apprehensive about it all, wondering if nursing was really for me, but to my delight I found that I truly loved it and have continued to work as an RN on and off for the past 40 years.

In July of my junior year at KBH, I met and fell in love with Larry Armstrong, a senior at Speed School of Engineering and a Navel ROTC cadet. The following year in August of 1959, I graduated from nursing school, Larry was commissioned an officer in the United States Navy and we married on August 21, all within a ten day period. We reported to Norfolk, Va. On August 28 for active duty and spent the next three years there.

In 1963 Larry went off active duty and we move to St. Louis, MO where Larry worked for McDonnell Aircraft and I worked for 9 different doctors who shared a clinic. In 1966 we moved to Huntsville, AL and we have made it our home ever since. Larry took a position as electrical engineer supporting NASA on the Apollo Moon Program working for GE and Sperry.
In 1968, after being married nearly 10 years and not having children, we adopted our first baby, a daughter Amy at 3 months of age. I then decided to be a full time stay at home mom and loved every minute of it. Four years later we adopted our son, Mark, at 3 months of age.

In the 1970’s and 80’s Larry went into sales full time and took a sabbatical from engineering, working for Cleveland Institute of Electronics. Our life changed drastically. His office was our home and his hours were mainly evenings and weekends, but it rewarded us with many wonderful trips and cruises (Larry won for us) Europe, Hawaii, a cruise of the Aegean Sea and the Hawaiian Islands. In 1988 Larry went back into engineering designing and testing hardware for the International Space Station with Boeing.

After the children were grown and gone I returned to work full time for about 10 years. Then we brought both our mothers to Huntsville to live with us. I then became a full time caregiver for about 8 years. Larry retired as of July 2005. Our daughter, Amy, and her husband have 3 children, 2 girls and a boy ages 12, 8, and 5 now live 3 blocks from us. Our son, Mark resides in Louisville and works for Jabil Glogal Services refurbishing HP laptop computers and loves it there. Life has been good to us and we feel so blessed our cup runneth over.

My passions in life are playing with my grandchildren, playing bridge (we are in 2 monthly bridge clubs), fishing, working in my garden, and helping at my church. I am looking forward to seeing many old friends from long ago.

So much thanks and appreciation goes to all who have worked and are still working on our 50th reunion. I salute you.
