Right now, I do mostly forfeitures, extradition, interstate subpoenas, medical aid for dying kids whose parents won’t get medical treatment for them, and represent the State when somebody wants to float a bond issue. Never a dull moment. Barbara and I had 1 child, Susan, and I remarried in 1990. Teresa and I made it 15 years this year and are celebrating with a week in London starting June 18.

Nancy Pearlman Nancy At Work	Nancy Pearlman - "After recovering from high school I attended U of Fla. and then CAL State, L.A. I married a few times... took my maiden name back after second marriage...lived all over the place, Cape Cod, San Francisco, the Caribbean, Puerto Rico,...careers from art dealer to belly dancer to commercial stone crabber, now make my living as a glass artist and jeweler I have one son, Dr. Jack David Newman a bacteriologist, founding scientist of Amyris biotech. A new granddaughter who is awesome. Once, took a side trip and drove through Palatka on my way to Key West from New York. Now happily single living in Berkeley California." Webmaster insertion - from Nancy's Website http://www.nancypearlman.com/ I have always been fascinated by glass. As a child I collected marbles, beads and kaleidoscopes. When I found the techniques of kiln-firing (or fusing) glass, I was enthralled and since 1989 have been refining my "jewel" making through countless hours of experimentation. There have been some real innovative breakthroughs and some real frustrating times, but I still continue to enjoy the process and improve the result. My background in Art and Design has influenced me greatly. I love color and this is the medium for me to express that love. I have had many "incarnations" in this lifetime, from commercial fishing to working in the design industry. This is the best so far!

"Bunny" Rideout	Sarah "Bunny" Rideout Slight said, "There's so much to tell in a short space! I attended Florida Presbyterian College, 1960-62; as a Math major, then discovered my singing voice. I transferred to FSU School of Music, and received a Bachelor of Music degree in 1965. I taught choral music at Dixie Hollis HS, St. Petersburg, 1966-68. I sang professionally with Mid-America Chorale based in Des Moines, IA, 1968-69 then it was back to FSU for Master's Degree in Voice, which I received in 1970. I spent summer 1970 in Spoleto, Italy, singing at Gian-Carlo Menotti's "Festival of Two Worlds." Temporarily broke, I worked for the State of Florida as Secretary III and IV, 1970-72. I was married, unhappily, from 1972-78, but he helped me get my Doctorate in Vocal Performance in 1974. After that, he didn't want me to sing. I studied to be and worked as a Court Reporter, 1974-78 and from 1969-78 I was also the Director of Music at Faith Presbyterian Church. I gave up on the marriage in 1978. I accepted a position as Assistant Professor of Voice at University of Alabama, Tuscaloosa; Assistant Chairman of the Music Department, 1979-82. Also in 1982 I had a bout with breast cancer. Later that summer I moved to Houston as Associate Professor of Voice at Houston Baptist University 1982-94. There I attained the rank of Professor in 1992. From 1986-94 I was the Chairman of the Voice Department. In 1984 I met my wonderful husband, Jac Slight, while I was serving as Director of Music at Fair Haven United Methodist Church. We married in 1985 (now 20 years!). In 1994 we moved to Venice, FL to be nearer his parents in New Port Richey (now both deceased) and my parents in Jacksonville (now both aging gracefully in St. Pete). I recently retired from being Director of Music at Community Presbyterian Church in Englewood after 7 1/2 years. Other Venice activities include featured soloist with the 80-member Venice Concert Band which does monthly performances Nov.-May each year. Over the years, I've sung more than 30 operatic/musical comedy roles with companies all across the SE United States, also many oratorio performances with orchestras. My lifelong love has been barbershop music (See Bunny's photo on the "Then and Now" page), begun in 1968. Served as director of 11 choruses (wherever I lived at the time) and founding director of 3. I currently direct the 60-man Lemon Bay Chord Company in Englewood, and the 35-voice Mixed (men and women combined) Barbershop Chorus in Boca Grande. My hobbies include travel (which explains why I will regretfully miss the reunion), reading, bowling (just bowled in National ABC tournament). I'm a lifelong cat-lover, and am currently the "owner" of a diabetic 24-pound Maine Coon (yes, administer shots twice a day). I really hate missing the reunion--please have another one soon! PS - I just realized that I didn't mention children in my bio. I guess the timing was always wrong, but since I married Jac, I've been lucky to be able to share his two sons, Jaime and David, his daughter, Lisa, and his seven grandchildren.

Diana Selsor	Diana said - "Thanks for persisting in your search; I'm grateful to be found and have enjoyed reading each of your profiles. It's difficult to summarize so much living in so few words. I did go to the 1990 reunion and so I didn't realize I was lost! After high school? Better to skip a decade. I did graduate from UF in 1964 and began graduate school that year, in anthropology. Thirty years later, when my youngest child went away to Reed College, I went back to UF finish that Ph.D. Sort of completing the educational circle. Had three wonderful children with my first husband, Pancracio Palting. We moved to Edmonton, Alberta in 1971 so he could do a post-doc with the quantum theory group at U of Alberta. He then went to Mexico and I stayed in Edmonton and raised the children--good day care, good schools, and good, accessible medical care. Fifteen years later, I returned to Florida to do a photo documentary in Palatka, and ended up living in St. Augustine because the kids wanted to surf. While working at the newspaper I met Page Edwards, who was the Director of the Historical Society, and a novelist. We married in 1987 (3 mos. after we met) and blended our families, so I gained two very dear stepchildren. I am now actively involved in raising four grandchildren, including a beautiful foster child who joined our family a year ago. Page died suddenly of an aortic abdominal aneurysm in January 1999, when I was out here (Silver City, New Mexico) getting our house ready in preparation for our move west. Our children helped me to complete that move. Careers? I have been a photographer, editor, writer, university professor, anthropologist. In December, I completed an MA in Counseling, and am a licensed mental health counselor specializing in infant mental health and working in early intervention programs. I teach anthropology when I get the chance. I'm still a dysfunctional dancer and love to dance anyway." "Work like you don't need the money. Dance like no one is watching. And love like you've never been hurt."
