Doreen Reifler Broder
Performing Arts/Polytech
Just a quick bio from Doreen Reifler Broder. I am
married to Eugene Broder, class of 1958. Since we just flew to
Detroit to attend his reunion, I don't think I'll be up again to attend
mine. We moved to Florida in 1999 when Eugene got a new job
here. (I always said I would never live in Florida. Never
say never!!) I can be reached at 7352 NW 83rd Way, Tamarac, FL
33321, 954-726-5499, or brodermom@bellsouth.net.
We have three children and two grandsons. Our
oldest daughter lives in Seattle and works with the agency coordinating
research on a vaccine for AIDS. Our son lives on the South Jersey
shore and is a wildlife biologist. Our youngest daughter lives in
Philadelphia. She is a consultant specializing in admissions for
private schools. The grandsons are 4 and 8--specializing in being
boys.
After Cass I attended Wayne and got my degree as a
school librarian. Then I had the kids and did not work outside of
home. When I was ready to return to the workplace, the thought of
working with kids was not so appealing. I became a proofreader,
then editor, then production manager at Wayne State University
Press. Now that I live in Florida, I spend a lot of my time
volunteering. Things seem to have come full circle. I
volunteer in an elementary school library two days a week.
I guess the thing I loved most about Cass was the
diversity of the student population. Also, we had fantastic
teachers. Who will ever forget an English class with Mr. Gow or
history with Mr. Siegel? I loved being editor of the
newspaper. It was fun meeting friends from all over the city for
donuts downtown before school.
