Szostak, 14, was last seen on the cover of the News, June 10, 2005. after she found herself on stage with Kenny Chesney at one of his Philadelphia concerts.
Born in West Windsor, she is an only child. Her mother, Copley, is a sales associate for the new Can Do Fitness club located at Forrestal Village. Her father, Bert, is an international equity sales broker for Englander & Co. in New York City.
She attended her first concert when she about five-years-old. Her parents, both born in New Jersey, are former Springsteen fans who made the switch when they discovered country music. “It’s cohesive for the family and involves people that Sarah can look up to,” said her mother in 2005.
A freshman at High School South, Szostak plays on the soccer team and runs the half-mile for the spring track team. She volunteers her time with the Hamilton Rotary and is their youngest chef at their annual Harvest Brunch.
She started playing guitar at the age of 10 under the tutelage of her father. For the past two years she takes lessons at Lance Reicherts’s recording studio at Quakerbridge Digital Audio.
“Sarah plays guitar and I can’t help but wonder how it would be if in 15 years they could play a duet,” said Bert in 2005.
