Claire Thibault Stracke

Claire (my mother) teaches Spanish at Davidson Fine Arts in Augusta, GA. She is married to Dick (my father--what a coincidence! ;-), who teaches English at Augusta College (and was the one that got them on the Web). They have three sons:

• John has a B.A. in math from Northwestern, and is now a software developer in Mechanicsburg, PA.
• Christian has a B.A. in philosophy from the University of Chicago, spent two years in the Peace Corps, in Mauritania, and is now working in Chicago and attending Northwestern, getting coursework in sciences to attend medical school.
• Tom is still in high school, at Davidson Fine Arts, and is currently applying to conservatories; I won't mention his first choice, lest some admissions officer from another school stumble across this page. ;-) He plays bassoon and composes.
