		Name: Timothy Patrick Bell Hobbies: Music, My Home ,My Friends Since 1976: Hi gang!! It's been a long time has it not? Here is my life in a nutshell (I think that's one word.) After graduation I went Marywood University and received a Bachelor Of Music degree in Music Education. I moved to Florida and taught in a private school for 5 years and did quite a bit of performing in professional and semi-professional musical theatre. I have been composing quite a bit of music. One of my original choral pieces was published with Alfred publishing. From 1986 to the present I have been teaching at our alma mater Western Wayne! I love it! I am planning to go to the reunion in October, it would be so great to see all of you there. Oh yeah I forgot..."Still single after all these years!" (Posted 9/2/2006)
