The Grozas recently Mr. Joe Harden ÒAfter
graduating from BHS, I spent the next 4 years at Ohio University, earning my
Chemical Engineering degree. From

engineer. I lived in Findlay for
4 1/2 years. During this time I
met my wife, Diane, and we were married. My son RJ (Robert Joseph) was born while were in Findlay
also. Deciding
to look for new opportunities (preferably in a warmer climate), I found a
position with Texas Instuments in Dallas in '88. Soon after moving to Dallas, my daughter Ashley was born. I have held numerous engineering and
management positions with TI, and have just passed my 20th anniversary with
the company. Diane
and I are enjoying life in Texas and getting a taste of being
"emptynesters". RJ is
currently a student at University of Texas-Austin studying Electrical
Engineering and Japanese, and Ashley is a student at the University of North
Texas studying Business. We
travel back to Ohio fairly regularly, but with my family now centered in
Cincinnati, and Diane's in Findlay, so far we haven't made it back to the
Cleveland area very often.
However, I was able to get back in November '08 & take in a Browns
and a Cavs game. The city looked
great!Ó (Info as of Dec. 2008)

Full Circle: At sonÕs HS
graduation Ms.
Beverly Hudson-Brown When
I left Berea, I attended Howard University in Washington, D.C. I stayed
there for two years. My parents had moved from Berea to Detroit,
Michigan, and that became my new home. I finished school in Detroit at
Marygrove College earning a Masters Degree in Education. Since then, I
have taught special education with the Detroit Public School System for the
last 20 years. I am divorced, but have two lovely daughters: 15 and 8
years old. I still have many close friends in Berea and travel back and
forth often. We had a good life in Berea, and when I look at the bad
shape many educational systems are in today, we really got an excellent
education from Berea High School. (Updated Mar. 2009)
