...fighting a long battle with drug addiction. Then one day in 1979, when her five-year-old son Matthew asked her to go to church with him, she became a born-again Christian, and later an evangelist. But Chapin never abandoned show biz, acting in three Father Knows Best reunion specials, managing younger talents and judging beauty pageants. She is currently developing a TV series that takes a nostalgic look at the history of radio and television. The performing bug has also bitten Chapin's daughter Summer, 18. Says Chapin: "To see that she has a good handle on performing...
Surely, the story I have told about Kevin doesn't incorporate his disappointments, namely his failure to attain the external achievement that the preprofessional student body both in the '80s and today (myself included) has intensely craved.

...must plod ahead and enjoy my remaining time here. The last snowy reading period, the carefree afternoons and my good friends (and my thesis) beckon to me. Someday, perhaps at our 25th reunion, perhaps sooner, we'll look back and laugh. We'll wonder why we worried so much about the future, which in retrospect will seem to have been quite clear. We will reach a point when those frantic high school days will have truly passed from existence, to rear their ugly head no more. We will have proven ourselves and we will be satisfied. After all, we went...
