Rita Bushelman update on 11-5-07 "I have now been at Hamiltong County Educational Services Center for almost a little over 2 years. I LOVE it! I have had the opportunity to work in several school districts in the area Princeton, St. Rita, Southwest, Northwest, County preschool, and even some in the MRDD schools. I am also working PRN for an agency for some really nice extra money. I love having the opportunity to work with all ages and keep my skills fresh in each area. My heart still lays with the kiddo's, but I have become attached to the elderly as well!. "

update on 6-28-07 We’ll have been here in Columbia 1 year at the end of August. We really like the area and love that we’re just hours from the beach and the mountains. Our biggest news is that Jacob just turned one! He’s growing fast and is on the move. He’s cruising on whatever he can get a hold of and can get into just about anything in the blink of an eye! Despite always being on the go, he is a very easy and happy baby. I’m working PRN at a rehab hospital and I really like it. I love being able to keep my OT skills somewhat fresh while still being able to stay home with Jacob during the week. It’s a perfect set-up."
Melissa Lovins Dailey Upate on 9-7-09: " Keith and I just returned from a two week European vacation with our friends. We traveled to Germany, Netherlands, France and Switzerland.

They have house in Hebron.

Elizabeth Moszkowicz Mayer on 3-31-07 Here is a belated update on what's been going on with me. Tony and I were married on Sept. 23, 2006! My last name is now Mayer-people know how to pronounce it and it has been faster with signing my name on my notes! It was a beautiful day despite the rain. We have been married for 6 months now and are having a lot of fun! We bought a house in Silverton and have been working on making it our own. I have been with COTI for a little over two years and am really enjoying all the challenges that have been coming my way.

update 1-5-09: "After my wedding in July, I left my job at Summit and am now working for Warren County Educational Service Center in the schools. It has been quite a big change but I really enjoy the kids I work with as well as this nice schedule! I am also getting close to finishing my MA degree in Educational Studies through UC. I will be very glad to be finished with school in a couple quarters!" Amy is seen here with her new husband Jason Smith. They were married in July 2008.
Allison Rudolph Update on 9-31-07 "A lot has changed these past few months. Greg and I are finally engaged and planning a February wedding! Then, we are off to the Colorado mountains for a week of skiing! We recently accepted a contract on a house and our move-in date is at the end of October. So...needless to say we've been busy these past few months. I no longer work at Riverside. I'm there contingent and put in hours during the summer. I am working at Columbus City Schools, this is my second year. I have school-age kiddos. The majority of the kids I work with have orthopedic handicaps. Therefore, I get to do a lot with assistive technology, which I love! I also have a fair amount of kids who have autism. Everyday is different which keeps me on my toes".
Carrissa Shotwell Update on 4-30-07 Hi everyone! Alot has changed recently - Chris and I just became the proud parents of Julia Elizabeth and Jude Everett Shotwell. They were born April 19. Julia weighed 5.14lbs and Jude weighed 6.2lbs. They are both healthy and wonderful. As for me, I'm still at Children's Hospital in Cincinnati and will be transitioning to outpatient full time when I return from maternity leave. Hope everyone is doing well!
