Debbie Magidson Martinez Just an update since we saw each other 45 years ago. Wait...did I just say 45 years? Wow! Somehow it doesn’t seem that long. Currently, I am in private practice as a divorce coach and family mediator/arbitrator in Charleston, SC. I tell everyone I am a little bit Yankee, a little bit y’all. I’m fi nishing up my 3rd year in the PhD program in the Department of Confl ict Analysis and Resolution at Nova Southeastern University. Who would have thought at 62 I am back in school! I am also a travel editor for a magazine in Miami, so I’m a busy bee. ’Still playing tennis, Coach would have been proud. I have been divorced for 15 years and have two kids, ages 25 and 26. I would love to connect with classmates, so if you ever fi nd your way to Charleston, please call me. Perhaps a reunion at good ole SBS is in the future!
