Various schools
Currently, I am saving homes from foreclosure, bankruptcy, and helping with short sales.  I work in the most important job I believe a person can do ... helping people to save and keep their homes when they get behind because of the economy or sickness or divorce.  My reward comes when I hear those I help cry because they just heard from me that we can keep them in their homes.  I'm in Loss Mitigation and do Loan Modifications for JP Morgan Chase.

I oftentimes think back to the times I wanted to come back home to Belle Vernon but was overseas, travelling.  I will make it to one of the reunions, I'm sure.  I just hope some of the classmates are still alive when I get there.   I can be found on Facebook under Robert Cain Tampa.  Just look for the picture of me with my black cat.  I would love to hear from anyone "old school."

Anything else you want to share:  Married my High School sweetheart, whom I met in 1976 at BVA.  We were married in 1980 and are still happily married after 28 years.  My daughter is pursuing her Doctorate Degree in Physical Therapy at the University of Pittsburgh.  She will graduate in 2009.  My son is a Freshman Civil Engineering Student at the Penn State University.  My son and I (Yes me) still race motocross.  The body hurts much more the next day at age 50.  (Hit the magic number on February 20th of 2008)  I still enjoy all athletic activities but other than motocross, I have moved on to some safer types.  (Physical Fitness, Weightlifting, Golf, Racquetball)  I coached children’s sports during the growing up years of my own children and still play with and attend all of the neighbor children’s sports activities.

So now we have two beautiful daughters, and I have to say --life has never been so lovely, and so sweet as it is right now.
