Greetings to everyone! I currently live in Austin with my husband Eric Frankhouser (Class of 86) and our 4 year old son Cash. Although I got my degree in theatrical production, I have spent the last 13 years as lighting designer for architecture.
For those who remember Eric, he is in music and tour management and is co-producing a family music festival the weekend of October 4th. He plans to put me to work, so I will not be able to attend the reunion although we do get back to Lubbock fairly often with parents and siblings still living there.
In 2006, our son was diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder. Luckily he is mild and has done very well over the last couple of years. In the meantime, Eric and I have become involved with Autism Speaks (autismspeaks.org) and sit on the board for the Greater Austin Walk for Autism. We have made it a priority to not only advocate for our son, but for all children and parents coping with this disorder and it has become a major component of our lives.

That's my update. I hope everyone enjoys the reunion. Take Care!
