Jennifer (Sher) Marshall - Surprised that she came upon this web site dedicated to our class, this is her story. After high school, she graduated from Barnard College and has been living in NYC ever since. In 1987, she started a medical export company with another partner and sold it in 1991. After that she studied wine and worked as a sommelier and assistant cellar master at Windows on the World. Her last day there was the day of the World Trade Center bombing! She walked down 107 floors and it still astounds her that it actually occurred. Jennifer met her husband Jeremy just after college and they were married 6 years ago. He's a chef and was a big influence in her desire to change her career direction; food and wine are a lot more fun than ophthalmic sutures and surgical staplers! Fortunately for her, it has also been a wonderful way to earn a living and they have opened a seafood restaurant in SoHo called Aquagrill. It is beginning its 5th year and she is happy to report that working with her husband has been a great thing! They have not had any children yet, but finally work is not as completely consuming as it has been, so the time may be near. Jennifer's family has left Allentown. Although her father still has his medical office on East Texas Boulevard, he is 95% retired and just comes to Allentown twice a month. Currently, her only connection back there is John Sechler, who was also Class of 83 but left for his senior year for the Philadelphia School of Performing Arts. John is teaching elementary school and doing a great job there; his annual school plays have even made the news! Jennifer's brother Peter Sher (Class of 81) is a physician in Hunterdon, NJ, and is single with a son named Jeremiah. Update - Janice (Zipf) Speer - Janice and her husband Larry finally added a human child to their family on August 25, 1998. Nolan Carl Speer was born in Wichita KS. About 3 1/2 months later, in early December 1998, the family moved to Warner Robins GA, about 90 miles south of Atlanta. Larry is stationed at Robins Air Force Base. Nolan is now 19 months old and doing all the amazing things that 19 month old kids do. Janice's husband Larry made a career change, which is what brought them to GA. He is still flying, but is now flying E-8Cs, aka JSTARS. JSTARS are airborne battle management systems; in layman's terms, they take real time photos of the ground. As for Janice, she is working at Houston Medical Center in Warner Robins in the Surgical ICU and the ER. She also works in Macon, about 30 minutes north, in three ICUs, Neurological/Trauma, Open Heart, and Surgical/Trauma. She loves all of it. Late last year, they lost two of the dear "children" mentioned in her last autobiography, Max and Bacci. They have since added two new adorable, but wild, Bengals to their family, Merlin and Lucci. Family photos can be seen at http://www.warbi.com. That is her in-law's web site; it has every picture that they have ever sent them of Nolan. Note: If you submitted an autobiography and it didn’t get in this issue, you’ll see it in the next issue.
