Barbara Tichenor - Eggleston

Mike:

Guess I should give you a brief bio since you are a persistent fellow and I don't want to disappoint you.

As you know, I did not graduate with the Class of '59. I graduated from House in the Pines Girls School in Norton, Mass. After graduating, I went to Centenary College for Women (Hackettstown, NJ) until my grandfather became very ill. After his death, I continued my education at Berkley Secretarial School in White Plains. At that time I took a job with IBM

(ASDD) in White Plains/Yorktown for 2 years. During that time I married Angelo Petrillo (Class of '56) and we had two children (Troy and Tracy).

Since that time I moved to upstate New York (Saratoga Springs area) and re-married. I worked for GMAC for 4 1/2 years in Albany and then took a job with the Saratoga Springs City School District as a secretary. I have been with the district for 29 years in administration and currently work as a "confidential secretary" for the superintendent.

My son, Troy, works for the FDA in Gloucester, MA as an inspector, and is married to Julie who has two teenage girls, and they have 4 large dogs. As a side note: he won his wedding from a Boston radio station and they were married on Valentine's Day at the Hard Rock Cafe in Boston.

My daughter, Tracy, lives near me and has given me two grandsons - 8 and 6.She is a nurse, certified travel agent, and has her own business registering large semi's in the state. She also manages her husband's business.

My husband, Smoky and I are looking forward to relocating to Arizona as soon as I retire within the next year or two. We will be on a motor trip to Arizona when you have the class reunion, and will miss seeing everyone, but do say hello to all and have a great weekend. If anyone wishes to correspond, my address is:
