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 Robin:
25 years certainly have gone by fast. Worked for an Insurance Co after graduation, moved to Key West, FL for a year. Came back to Milwaukee and worked several years in the Mortgage Industry, then went to an Insurance Agency that closed. Got married in 91 and moved to Oak Creek. Had my first daughter, Sarah in 93. She will soon be 12 and is just finishing 6th grade. Into gymnastics, Girl Scouts, the phone and msn messenger. She also plays the clarinet and will soon be learning the flute. Moved to Hartford, WI in 94 and started working with a trucking company on the north side of Milwaukee which is where I'm still at. Had my second daughter, Jamie in 99. She just turned 6 and is finishing Kindergarten. She is my sassy middle child(alot like her MOM). Got divorced in 2000 and met my fiance, Jim at the trucking company where I work. We had a daughter, Katie who just turned 3 and is Daddy's little girl. He also has a son Brandon who will be 14. Working full time and running around with the kids keeps me pretty busy. Jim drives truck and is gone a few nights a week, so during the week I am like a single parent. Life has been good over the years. Not exactly what I had planned after graduation, but my girls are the loves of my life and we are truly blessed. Won't be at the reunion, hope you all have a great time. It's been fun seeing what everyone has been up to. Great website

Occupation: Software Development
Manager
Marital Status: Single
From Mary: Egads - look at those Coke-bottle glasses! Thank the Good Lord for designer frames over the years, and ultimately, LASIK. .... Well those who remember me from high school will know that I have remained Trew to myself (pun intended) and as a result a procrastinator to this day. So no marriage, no kids - keep thinking I’ll get around to it. After SMA I attended Marquette University for 3 semesters. But then Reagan was inaugurated, and much of the financial aid went dry, so I finished out my BA in Political Science/Law Studies at UWM in 1984. (At MU by the way I spent a lot of time hanging out in the student union with SMA alums Lisa Chmielewski, Karen Frohna and Mary Beth Marx. But I lost touch after I transferred. How y’all doing, anyway???) First job out of college was working as Administrative Admin for General Life Insurance in Milwaukee (gee I guess I should have taken that Typing class after all.) In 1988 I accepted a new position as an Insurance Trainer for the American Medical Association in Chicago, and relocated to Evanston, IL where I’ve been living ever since. A couple more job changes, plus corporate mergers both friendly and hostile, took me from insurance to software development. I currently work for Oracle Corporation as a Software Development Manager, where I manage a team of programmers, some who were born the year we graduated -sigh. I am still in contact with Kasia Gawlik (Parker) and Margie Jacques. They are such dear friends - they hardly EVER bring up their SMA class rankings to me.
