Comment:
Great to see what the Class of 61 has been up to. Thanks to all those working to make this site and the reunion possible. I married Arnold Turchick a week after graduating and started the University in the fall. After 1 1/2 years I left to help my husband continue his studies. My few pottery classes at the "U" created a life long passion. We moved to New York where my three boys were born. The pre-school they attended was the first integrated pre-school in Harlem. I sold pottery at a gallery called "America House." By 1974 I was divorced and the boys and I were living in Iowa when this traveling minstrel began hanging around. Ted Warmbrand and I have been together ever since. We moved to Tucson in 1975 to help my asthma. Our daughter was born in 1980, so Ted decided to produce concerts instead of touring. Pete Seeger is probably the most well known of the many artists he has brought to Tucson. My children and grandchildren are my greatest joy, my art work my passion, but I have also been very lucky to find deeply gratifying community work everywhere I have lived. After volunteering at my son's pre-school in Harlem, I set up a pre-school in Iowa. I also started what became a city wide recycling center. In Tucson, I read a newspaper article about releases of Tritium from a factory painting watch dials. I decided to make a few calls which resulted in two years of city wide efforts to shut the factory down. Luckily we succeeded since they discovered tritium in near-by school lunches. When our daughter was only two I started raising money for refugees from Guatemala and El Salvador who were seeking help at near-by Southside Presbyterian church. Little by little I became involved in what was to become the "Sanctuary Movement." So did my synagogue, Temple Emanu El. When John Fife, Jim Corbett and others were indicted I was one of the people who stepped in to keep the underground railroad running. I spent many, many harrowing days guiding refugees through the desert or over the mountains and always found great joy in finally arriving at a safehouse. Years later I was able to share my experiences in several books about the Sanctuary Movement. Recently I was happy to be able to help archive materials from the Sanctuary Movement with the Special Collections section of our University Library. At the age of 52 I finally earned a BFA and began teaching. I am still active in community work, co-chairing a Citizen Advisory board for the Arizona Dept. of Environmental Quality, working with my neighborhood Assoc. and was recently given a leadership award by our County Board of Supervisors. So far, so good. All my best. |

| Comment: I was married for 48 1/2 years to the love of my life. I met him when I was 16 and he had just gotten out of the Marines. We moved to Wyoming 34 years ago. Together we built our log home on the Big Horn mountains 20 years ago where I still live. I achieved my dream of being a wife and mother with the most wonderful husband in the world. We have two children, a son who is a veterinarian and a daughter who works for a medical company. We have five wonderful grandchildren. The saddest day of my life was when my husband passed away in Jan. 2010 | |
