Roger Davies

 

Nova '74.
Funny Girl
Orchestra: Music Man, Greaspaint, Mame, etc.

I was fortunate to move here to Manhattan in 1999 and renew friendships with so many other HHPA alumni. It's now hard to imagine being somewhere else.

My sons (Aaron, Daniel, and Benjamin) are three very different, but wonderful young men. I am indeed, a lucky man. Aaron (my oldest) was married in June of 2006 and made me a grandfather last year. How did that happen? :-) Daniel is in College studying music business (uh-oh), and Benjamin also is studying Music ministry at a private college in San Diego. .

By profession, I am a technologist. I majored in electrical engineering and have been involved in information technology (network infrastructure and application development, computer design, integrated circuit design, databases, software, etc)., since the late 70's.

I’m a woodworker, baseball nut, love travel, brewing, music (of course), and read quite a bit. Alma, the older I get, the more I enjoy some of the classics and writers of our age (Michener, Irving, Steinbeck, Rand, etc.)

Some life goals include reading every Michener novel (sixteen have now been completed), writing my own novel(s), and retiring early. Guess I'd better hurry on that one! LOL

Alas, I'd better change the picture too... there are more grey hairs now...

Patricia Desisto
(Anderson)

After graduation from Nova in '72, I attended Rollins College and earned a BA in music with a major in applied voice. It was difficult to be earning a degree in music and do theatre, but I did manage to be a part of the FANTASTIKS (Luisa) and MUSIC MAN (Zenita Shinn).

I spent some time in NYC and New Jersey after graduation and thought I'd like to do studio work or voice overs. It was a lot more difficult than I thought! In the middle of this I married my college beau who worked in the financial district in NYC.

I wasn't planning on being a music teacher, but while I was visiting my parents in Cape Cod, the telephone rang... and I was hired! I've now been teaching in the same school for nineteen years. I direct two choruses and a select show choir. I've been the musical director for several musicals at both the middle school and high school levels as well as the director of many revues and variety shows.

I'm still married and have three children ages 12, 9, and 5. My husband owns a local CPA firm.

In recent years I've sung with the Chatam Chorale, the MasterSingers of Cape Cod, and the Mostly Medievil Carolers. I've been a part of the musical GUYS AND DOLLS and KISS ME KATE. I've also been having a great time being a substitute singer; it's always an adventure.

Sondra Dukel (Dane)

 

I am a native South Floridian and joined the Atlantic Foundation's Dance Department in 1972. I enjoyed being a part of ballets such as The Nutcracker Suite, Coppelia, Cinderella, at Parker Playhouse in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Upon the HALL/HILL arrival I became a performing arts major and played parts in all of the shows with Atlantic Foundation for the Performing Arts. In 1983, I turned professional and performed in shows In Miami, New York City, and Aruba. I retired from Show Business in 1987.

For the past 25 years I have enjoyed a career as a Mortgage Banker. I was the producing Branch Manager with Wells Fargo Home Mortgage for 17 years, managing upwards of 15 loan officers and producing 30 plus million per year in residential mortgage loans. In May of 2006, I joined STERLING ASSET & EQUITY COMPANY, A Division of Primary Residential Mortgage. I specialize in Jumbo Mortgages, Conventional, FHA and VA Home loans, throughout the entire State of Florida. I am a direct lender with access to all banks and pride myself on 100% customer satisfaction.
I enjoy working out daily, ballroom dancing, watching sports and of course SHOPPING! I attribute much of my success to the wonderful years of dance and theatre with the Atlantic Foundation for the Performing Arts.
