It will be fun to see my former classmates. I retired a little over 4 years ago after 30 years at Mahoning Columbiana Training Association. I was a case manager and then spent many years as Management Information System Coordinator. I attended YSU late in life and received an Associate Degree in Marketing Management and graduated Summa Cum Laude with a Bachelor Degree in Marketing and Product Design. I am the owner operator of a small business called Creative Gifts by Patricia. When my mother started to decline I cared for her until she passed in 2009. I had been creating many handmade items such as clay sculpture, soft sculpture, dolls, home décor, and Christmas items. This year I am doing a small group of culturally inspired Christmas ornaments and in 2014 I plan to get back to creating new handmade products, clay and soft sculpture. I have two children, Tina and Thomas, who reside in Youngstown, Ohio.
