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 Elizabeth: Elizabeth Bauer (Ledesma) I have been married for 21 years and have raised 2 sons, 19 and 14 years of age. Currently, I am teaching fulltime in a private school and attending the university fulltime. My husband also works fulltime and attends the university fulltime. Our busy schedules keep us active, involved, and married. There isn't time to complain about each other!! The same week I received this 25th reunion invitation, I also learned I was going to be come a mother-in-law. So, to handle the stress of this aging process I went out and dyed my hair gothic black. I look totally ridiculous, but I feel younger than ever. I love being in college where the young people are. I will always be a student. Looking forward to seeing everyone.

From Linda: After my life after St. Mary’s, I earned bachelor’s degrees in marketing and industrial relations from UW-Milwaukee and then went on to earn an MBA - also from UWM. I’ve been married to Scott since 1989 - he’s an electrical engineer (X-ray products) at GE Healthcare in Pewaukee. For the past 13+ years, I’ve been working at the International Foundation of Employee Benefit Plans in Brookfield, where I’m the Associate Director for their professional certification program. Along the way, I’ve earned a number of designations from the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania – all in various areas of employee benefits. My job takes me across the US and Canada and I’m finding that my favorite type of vacation is now south of the border! In my “spare time” I volunteer at the Sussex Food Pantry and serve on the Board of Directors for the Cooperating Churches of Sussex.

From Terri: Thank you to everyone on the committee organizing the reunion for giving time from their busy schedules to make our 25th special! The last 25 years have been busy, fun, crazy and as I look back now I realize I wouldn't change a thing. This July I will celebrate my 18th wedding anniversary to my husband, Jim. Living in Hartland, we preferred traveling to raising children, however we love to spoil nieces and nephews and return them to their parents. Downhill skiing, traveling and motorcycling are are passions. I took the "climbing the corporate ladder route," while my friends went onto college. I have been involved in Sales and Sales Management for over 20 years. I started out as a telemarketer and moved up to sales rep, regional sales manager, general manager and Director of Business Development. Most of this time was in the printing industry for companies that ranged from a music print publisher to running a local community paper in Mukwonago. Hopes of running my own business has led me to my home-based firm selling products on ebay.What originally began with selling the items collecting dust in the corner has developed into a recent truckload purchase of vacuums (I must be crazy!). Looking forward to seeing everyone in July.

From julie: Hi everybody! I must tell you that My children are the product of my husband, Brian's first marraige but I claim all three of my "grandchildren" as mine. There is Angelica(mothered by my stepdaughter Grace who (or is it whomb) is nine and she has a brother Roman (just turned four) and then ther is Olivia(just turned three,) fathered by my stepson, Neil . I have been with Brian since before our ten year reunion. We finally( and formally) tied the knot in 1994. Since then I have gotten a job with a really great company(sure not Journal, Sentinel, Inc.any more!) I really lucked out with a Temp firm and got in on the ground floor of a reverse distribution company that deals with expired pharmaceuticals. This has opened my job opportunities up so much that if my husband decides to retire early I should be able to get a job in our (now) dream location of Marquette Michigan. I know you Wisconsanites might thinkI am crazy but Marquette is a nice size town that is also a college town and has so much character you wouldn't believe it! I t has so much old world arcitecture it looks like a little "downtown Miwaukee! Except it does not stink like fish!!
