A retired USAF pilot, I am now a Captain with Continental Airlines on a B-757 based in Houston, Texas. I fly primarily domestic trips to Seattle, Orlando, Ft.

I have been a Water Safety Instructor (WSI) and Lifeguard Instructor (LGI) with the American Red Cross for 38 years.
Recently divorced from Sheila after almost 29 years of marriage; not what I wanted nor planned, but things happen, people change, and sometimes they don't. I moved from Lake Conroe (65 nm north of Houston)back to Atascocita/Humble in June 2010. My oldest daughter, Megan (b83) left Wells Fargo Bank as a banker in San Antonio, moved back to Kingwood/Humble, TX, and is completing her degree in teaching. My youngest daughter, Stacy (b85), graduated with degree(s) in biology, psychology, and statistics and is Texas Woman's University's nursing school in McKinney, TX. Both girls attended the University of Texas in San Antonio!!!.
Looking forward to attending the next Reunion. I have missed the last reunions due to my flying schedule....

Ann Steiner

Now

Birthday:May 22, 1951 Occupation:College Professor Marital Status:Married No. of Children:1

From Ann:Although I attended Kellar School from grades 3-8 and Richwoods for freshman and sophomore years, my family moved to Omaha, Nebraska in 1967 so I an not officially a member of the class of 1969. I plan to attend the reunion and look forward very much to seeing old friends.

I have lived in Lancaster, Pa for almost 40 years where I have been on the faculty at Franklin & Marshall College. I teach ancient Greek language and Greek and Roman archaeology. My work has taken me to Greece and Italy where I have spent time excavating and researching.

I met my husband at F&M; he was a philosophy professor but changed careers to banking. He is now retired and we are spending this year living in Athens, Greece for my final sabbatical-- I hope to be fully retired within the next couple of years. Our daughter is 32 and living in Monterey, CA. which is wayyyy to far away!

After living so much of my life near the east coast, I appreciate so much my upbringing in the midwest. Of course Richwoods was a big part of that, so I am eager to go back and reconnect.
