Ladue High School 55th Reunion

Patti Strubinger (Elliott)

No. of Children:3

From Patti: Looking forward to seeing everyone at the reunion My proudest achievement is being the mother of three LHS fellow graduates, Peter Oberheide, class of '88', Tom Oberheide, class of '93' and Matthew Korn, class of '99'. I am presently living in Sarasota, Fl. where I have had many jobs- and actually gotten paid- elementary school teacher, librarian, caterer, seamstress (thanks to Mrs. Wyatt), needlepoint and knitting instructor (although I'll never be as good a knitter a Mary Weinstock), reseacher at Edward Jones (Series 7 license), and occasional backup singer in my son's rock and roll band in Austin. Currently my most fun is spending time with my grandson Elliott Lewis Oberheide, who is 1.5 and lives in Golden, CO. I also like to read, walk, cook, stitch, and hit the speed bag. I am still painting custom needlepoint canvases and have recently started a business, "Drag Hag Rags", which costumes ddrag queens. My downfall is freecell on the computer.

Susan Taussig

Now

From Susan:I have been working for my sister and brother in law, helping them out at Arundale Products, selling bird feeders for a long time now. I have seen my nieces and nephew grow up to be wonderful, sweet loving people. The oldest Louise, is a nanny in Chicago while also attending DePaul University studying Community Counseling. Julia is attending Webster University studying nutrition and education. William, her twin, is studying political science at the University of Chicago. More recently I have been spending more time caring for my God Mother who is now 101 years old! Last year, I helped throw her a grand birthday party for the big 100.
I've been traveling to Atlanta, Georgia recently to visit my good friend Paige. While there I visited the Coca- Cola company, Stone Mountain, and many other places like their Botancal Gardens.
Thinking back, I have many fond memories of high school. One of which is spending time with my close friends as well as going to my favorite Algebra class wth Mrs Carol. She was nice and always helped me, making my time at school more enjoyable.

From Pat:Life has been great. After over forty years developing educational programs in the healthcare field, I retired and wrote a children's book and am enjoying my six grandchildren. Creating hand-crafted greeting cards, which sell in a local coffee shop, is a creative, therapeutic enterprise; and in order to stay physically and mentally healthy, I go to the gym regularly, travel several times a year with my husband, teach a retirement course, and read lots of books.
