Hi Classmates! Would love to hear from everyone again.

Left Texas in 1978 for Connecticut, where I lived for 23 years (with a three year stint in upstate New York). Had a wonderful career(s), the last as an internal management consultant for The Travelers Insurance Companies, and married two wonderful men.

Sadly, I've been widowed twice, my last husband Capt. Al Taubert PANAM retired, passing in 2001.

Moved to southwest Florida in 2004, where I took up two old passions and turned them into avocations: jazz vocalist and writer. Made two CDS, got a record contract, both CDs astonished me by doing well (www.kathryntaubert.com).

As much as I love music, I never liked the entertainment business, so I retired from it, performing now only on rare occasions.

I took up writing again, however, one of my oldest passions, and was a freelance journalist and Blogger for the Naples Daily News, in Naples Florida, for 5.5 years before moving to North Central Florida.

Have published two books "Yevu (White Woman): My Five Weeks with the Ewe Tribe in Ghana, West Africa" (2011) and "Better To Have Loved, A True Story of Love, Loss, and Renewal" (2013). You can read the reviews on on Amazon, and they're available there as well as Barnes and Noble, iTunes, Sony eBooks, and others, in both print and eBook, as are my CD's "Where Can I Go Without You" and "Somewhere in Time."

My hobbies were, until recently, SCUBA diving, long distance swimming (still) and voracious reading. I'm also a chronic volunteer, my preferences being animal welfare, the environment and developmental disabilities. Life has been good to me and volunteering is my way of giving back.

Still have some family back in Texas, and a sister on the Island. Write to me. Would love to hear from you! You can also find me on Facebook and Linked In.
