It is a pleasure to see you after these many years. I transitioned several years back so I don't look at all like Ronnie of old. I sang opera in Europe but before then and afterwards I went into software sales bigtime. Nice to hear you have such a nice family. I am pretty much retired and married again.
Hi fellow alumni! Though I haven’t had the pleasure of attending our past reunions, I’m excited to share a bit about my journey over the past 50 years.
After graduating from high schoo and completing my bachelor at Texas Tech, I moved to New York City, to pursue a Masters in Music. Poverty taught me to see work and I landed in the vibrant computer software scene in NYC just as Microsoft was formed. This was the perfect backdrop for my early professional years. I had the opportunity to retrain my voice to sing tenor instead of baritone perform, and collaborate with some incredible talents on the side.
My career took a significant turn when I transitioned into international operat singing and after surgeries in 2001 back into software sales, negotiation and business development in the international space. This new path in Europe, where I have been living for the past 3+ decades. The experience of working in diverse markets and cultures has been both challenging and rewarding.
It also allowed me to seek help. I lived with gender dysphoria my entire life. This is the major reason for my abundant religious early years and increasing unhappiness when everything I tried to do to avoid it failed. It is the biggest blessing of my life. I live happily and successfully. My previous name of Ron or Ronald is now Clarice.
On a personal note, I am happily married for the second and last time. My spouse and I enjoy exploring the rich history and beautiful landscapes of Europe together.
Looking forward to reconnecting and hearing about your own adventures after our lovely years at Amarillo High.
