It's hard to believe that 25 years have passed since we wore our light blue caps and gowns and left St. Mary's to embark on new adventures. We've gotten married and divorced, gained weight, earned degrees, lost weight, created new families, raised pets, worked inside and outside our homes, achieved success, traveled the world, stayed close to home, overcome obstacles, endured losses, strengthened our faith, served our country, made countless brownies for bake sales, driven in carpools, climbed the corporate ladder, started our own companies, pursued - and continue to pursue - dreams. Among us, we've done it all!
Here's our chance to catch up a little before we get to the reunion. Please take some time to tell us the highlights of your past 25 years. Where did you go on to school? What do you most enjoy doing now? Do you work outside the home? Where have you traveled? What is one thing you still dream of doing? What is your best memory of St. Mary's? We can't wait to hear from you!
Send us a current photo, too, if you can. Feel free to include a photo of you with your family. You are unable to edit information once you hit the submit button, so please review and add your “now” picture all at one time. Your information will be uploaded to the web the next day. As soon as your information is added, you will be able to send messages to others who’ve also added their info.

From Suzanne: Lots of time has passed, but memories linger as if it was yesterday.............little sisters, senior commons, AV club, the long walk to the cafeteria, Mary’s Day in the grotto, my locker, the hustle in gym class, peanut brittle in Chemistry, plaid, plaid and more plaid, and many wonderful people I crossed paths with. After SMA, I attended the University of Wisconsin LaCrosse, graduating with a BS in Nuclear Medicine Technology and meeting my husband. Gery and I have been married for over twenty years now. We have three great kids, Andy (17) a Junior at Mukwonago, Alex (14) an eighth grader at Park View Middle School and Christine (13) a seventh grader at St. Joseph School. Our days are well spent watching these three develop into dynamic people. It is just so cool! We built our home in Big Bend in 1991 but look forward to when we will be able to move back to LaCrosse. I have been employed by Aurora Health Care since my clinical internship in 1983. Professionally, I evolved from a staff technologist at St. Luke’s Medical Center to my current role as Manager of Imaging Services at West Allis Memorial Hospital and Regional Radiology Transcription for the corporation. In our spare time, as little as there is, we follow NASCAR. We hold season tickets at several tracks and plan at least one vacation each year around one race. In the past, we have been to Bristol, Daytona, Indianapolis, and others. This year is Talledaga Alabama in October (with Mary Beth (Marx) and Ron Hess). Our greatest success has been seeing our middle child, Alex, through a bout with cancer in 1993. After surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy, he has been in remission since 1994. Our little miracle.

From Martha: WOW 25 years!!!!!!!! Time sure does fly. Here's my past 25 yrs. in reader's digest version. BA in Social Work from MU, MA in Therapeutic Recreation from UW-L. '86-'89 I lived in CT. and worked at a rehab center for individuals with trumatic brain injuries. In '89 I moved to Rhode Island and started working at Bridges, Inc. I am still there and work with individuals who have developmental disabilities. I love my job amd my life is good!!! I have been very blessed throughout my life. Much of what I learned and experienced at SMA has helped to guide me thru my life. Most of my family still lives in WI and I visit as often as possible. I never stopped playing sports (big surprise) and have added downhill skiing to my list of interests. My partner, Beth and I have been together for 11 years and were blessed with twins; a boy (Ian) and a girl (Tatem) on July 27, 2006.....

From Patti: It seems like yesterday that we were all at SMA, but look at all of the changes we've all had! I attended UW-Oshkosh and received my degree in Medical Technology. I was unfortunate enough to graduate just at the time many hospitals in Milwaukee were consolidating to form what is now Aurora, so job opportunities were scarce. I took a full-time job in Manitowoc (I thought it was just a northern suburb of Milwaukee!) Life in Manitowoc was a little slow for a girl raised in Milwaukee. My husband (whom I met one week after high school graduation) and I married in 1985. His job was in Green Bay, so he commuted from Manitowoc for a while, until we realized that maybe I could commute back to Manitowoc and we could enjoy a little bigger city. We have been here 17 years now and would never think of moving. We love it here and of course are Packer fans. I work in the Special Chemistry department of the Laboratory at Bellin Hospital, and my husband is a teacher at the Green Bay Correctional Institution. Our oldest son is Ian, 16, who is intent on giving his mother gray hair. Our second son is Connor, 14, who will be graduating from 8th grade next month and joining his brother at Notre Dame Academy (just can't take the Catholic school girl outta me). My youngest is Paige, age 10. We enjoy skiing, camping and family vacations together. Looking forward to seeing alot of you in July!
