| Introduction | I'm the 6th child of Sam Jacob and Agnes Paulina Swihart in whose honor this reunion will be held. My siblings in order of birth are: Marilyn Merle DiCola, William Charles "Bill" Swihart, Samuel Hoy "Sammy" Swihart, John Edward Swihart, Beverlae Ann Barone and Virgil Thomas "Tom" Swihart. Bill and Tom are deceased. My husband of 46 years, Charles Edward "Chuck" Kucera died of cancer in January 2005. I have 3 sons: Steven Charles, David Thomas and Matthew Gregory; and two grandsons: Kyle Andrew (20) and Aidan Charles (will be 5 on August 31). I'm 5'10" tall and weigh 152 lbs. with blonde hair and blue eyes. I look forward to spending some time getting to know you better next summer at the Swihart Reunion 2010. I earned both my B.S. and MBA degrees from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. I currently am the Deputy Director of the Center for Computational Sciences at the University of Kentucky in Lexington, KY. |
| Interests | Photography, genealogy, high performance computing (HPC), international travel and cross cultural experiences, horses, downhill skiing. |
| Favorite movies | I don't really have a favorite movie. I joined Netflix and have seen most of the "big" movies and am now going back to the old classics or movies that I liked a lot the first time. Just watched "Cider House Rules" again and better understood the nuances and subtleties this time. |
| Favorite music | I like blues, classical, rock, actually most music, with the exception of Rapp ... although "Boyz to Men" is an exception to that exception. ;^) |
| Favorite books | I read frequently, often on airplanes, and don't keep track of the titles. I've been known to buy the same book a second time if the cover graphics are changed! Although, at some point, I realize I've already read it. :^( |
