I can't believe I still live in Charleroi. I have made my living in local radio, first at WESA from 79 to 85, then WJPA in Washington from 85 to 96 and now, at FROGGY/Pickle in California from 97 to present. Charleroi may not be as prosperous as it once was- what is needed is an entrepreneur who can see the vast potential and beauty of the Mon Valley. Any takers among the risk-takers out there? I am so tired of being surrounded by negative senior citizens. (2/27/05)

After graduation, I married my high school sweetheart, John Rotheram, (Class of '68). We have been married 36 years and still live in the Valley. We have two children, Brian, (35)- (Class of '89), who married Sherry Ross from Belle Vernon. Brian is employed with the PA Turnpike Commission, in Harrisburg as a management systems Aauditor and Sherry is a registered nurse. They have three children, Brooke (8), Brian (7), and Brianna (4). Needless to say, we don't get to see our grandchildren enough (they bring us such joy!), but we make weekend trips to Harrisburg, as often as we can. Our daughter, Melanie (29)- (Class of '97), has been married to Patrick Ciriello, a State Trooper out of Greensburg, for four years. She has been a PA Turnpike toll collector at the Monroeville Interchange, for nine years. No children yet, but they are looking forward to it. John and I are both working in the political field. I'm an administrative legislator to State Representative Timothy Solobay and John is assistant to the Auditor General Jack Wagner. John's got his sights set on winning the election in 2007, for Register of Wills, in Washington County. This will bring him closer to home, instead of traveling to Pittsburgh everyday. So.... we're on the campaign trail. Life is wonderful!! (10/13/06)

Bill Gelder and I started officially dating our last day of school. We just celebrated our 25th anniversary. We have a son, Jason, a 2001 CAHS graduate. Bill was diagnosed with MS, eleven years, ago. Charleroi is still home, but a far cry from what it was. I popped a ton of popcorn at the State and Coyle Theatres, in my Jr. and Sr. years. THOSE WERE THE DAYS.

I am teaching in North Carolina. To a really nice lady from Monessen... I tried to get a job at Charleroi High School, but I did not even get an interview. That's how it is when you're not in politics. Oh well, maybe it's for the best. I have to sell all of my mom's properties because she will be living with me and my wife. I am teaching Family Consumer Technology. I really enjoy it.
