Gail Horne Bacon update
Hi, from the palacial estate of Beth Lavine Mullaney in Larchmont, NY (photos to come soon!)
I got on e-mail this update from Gail Horne Bacon! Enjoy!
Hi David --
What a nice surprise to get an email from you…you are quite the sleuth. I checked out the Website you maintain – BHS Class of ’80 is lucky to have you keeping tabs on things! It’s great.
I’m glad to hear you are well---things are going very well for me too. I have bopped around a little…moved up to Ann Arbor to go to U of M, and although I didn’t finish school there, I stayed once I met my husband to be. We married and followed his job and had some fun adventures while living in Pittsburgh and Nashville. We returned to Ann Arbor about 8 years ago, but the marriage ran its course and we parted on good terms about 5 years ago.
After trying for so long to finish my undergrad degree with little support, I finally found the time to do so a couple of years ago. I graduated from Eastern Michigan University.
I have a job that I love as Contract Administrator for a Web development firm in Ann Arbor. I’ve been with the company for 7 years and hope to be with them for many more! It is the same kind of work that I have done for the last 18 years or so—negotiating contracts—primarily for software companies.
I live very close by in Saline, MI with my significant other (for lack of a better term), Michael, and our spoiled rotten dog, Solano. Last year, with Michael’s encouragement, along with that of my friends and co-workers, I decided to go to law school. I just finished my 1st year in the 4 year evening program at the University of Toledo. There are certainly the days when I question my sanity – but more days when I really enjoy it. My goal is to put my company’s outside counsel out of work and serve as the in-house attorney.
I am currently on a long awaited break from school – so I am trying to cram as much summer fun in as possible while still working full time. I like to run (funny considering how un-athletic and uncoordinated I am) and enjoy any activity that involves people watching! Michael is a life long and die hard Detroit Tigers fan, so we have been having an enjoyable summer with them in first place!
I wanted to make it to the reunion last year, but my father was ill, so I went to spend some time with him. Fortunately he recovered and is doing well now. I really don’t get back to the central Ohio much, my immediate family is long gone from the area, and I’ve been remiss in staying in touch with old classmates. Your Website should make up for that!
Well, I think that brings you up to speed on my life.
You contacted me at my UT email account, but I am more accessible at gbacon@fry.com.
Take care,
Gail Horne Bacon
