From Dale Gallagher Whitaker, Class of '82

(May 2010) I just took a job in my adopted and much-loved community of Dripping Springs, Texas, where I moved after meeting my husband on vacation in 1998. I am the new District Information Officer for the Dripping Springs School District  (http://www.dsisd.txed.net/CivicAlerts.aspx?AID=331), after holding a similar position in the Eanes School District in Austin for 6 years. I spent most of my career at Kent State University, where I earned my master's degree, serving as Assistant Athletic Director and Sports Information Director for many years. My husband Brook and I have an amazing little girl (age 7) named Kaylin Brooke. We come home to Parma Hts. twice a year to visit family and many dear friends from the University of Akron and thoroughly enjoy it. :)

From David Mudra, Class of '74

I just wanted to let some of the alumni old and new know it's never too late to achieve a new goal. About five years ago I decided to write a novel.  After three years of writing and little success on publishing on my own, I hired a literary agent; she was able to find a publisher. Currently the book is available throughout Europe, Asia, Russia, Africa, and of course North America.

On March 3rd 2010 "Blue Skies Red Soil: Death of America" was released. At the end of May I will be attending the International Book Expo in New York. 500 authors will be there reviewing their work with screenwriters, movie directors, and large retail bookstores.  I've attached the web address to review the book. http://www.strategicpublishinggroup.com/title/BlueSkiesRedSoil.html

Again I just wanted new students as well as old, "It's never too late to follow a dream."
