What have I been up to. I would have to write a book and even though I am now retired I have not much time to even get started. I have had a very stressful life over the years and it has certainly aged me! I met my first husband MURRAY GORDON while attending UC. We both graduated & moved to NYC where Murray attended and graduated from Law school. We had two children Alison & David. At the young age of 41 Murray was diagnosed with Lung Cancer & died 8/4/88 ! What a shock ! I had two young kids to raise and put thru school. Times were tough but I did it ! Both kids are well established professionals now.Five years later I was married for the 2nd time to Gerald Lorin. whose wife had passed away @ age 50 from a brain tumor. I have been married to Gerry now for 17 years and we are happily married and enjoying life in the Sunshine state !

I recall all the good times @ Woodward especially all the fun running around Swifton Village after school. I always walked home thru the shopping center. I also recall winning a set of golf clubs there. The golf clubs were sold. A typewriter was purchased with the proceeds of the sale, as I did not have much use for golf clubs in those days.

My fondest memory is of my high school german teacher who called me TRUDY. From that day on I have referred to myself as TRUDY. So much nicer and certainly more youthful than GERTRUDE.
