Was lost but now am found. Living in Atlantic Beach, Florida; married for third time, 17th anniversary (still a slow learner but not unteachable). I have two children in their 30s by my second husband and a four-year-old granddaughter. Have been a writer/editor/journalist for getting on to four decades but no book-length stuff until now -- a bio of a blues musician due out in the spring. Haven't been in Topeka since 1973 and will probably never get back, but I do remember Shawnee Lake -- got drunk there for the first time on my 16th birthday not long after arriving in town. Just in time for the tornado...but oddly my book research led me to Topeka today and I found my way to this site. Hope to be able to look up a few old friends. I don't want to post my email online but I'll send it to one of the reunion folks -- thanks for keeping track of us all. Sharon Weightman
