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 Jeanne: WOW!!! Hard to believe it's been 25 years. It seems like just yesterday that we were roaming the halls of SMA and getting detentions from coach. The website is great and thanks to everyone that did such a great job putting it together. Let's see what have I been doing since 1980? I went to U.W. Parkside on a basketball scholarship and ended up getting a degree in Business. I started working for UPS in college and last September celebrated my 20th year with them. I've held 12 different positions from sales to industrial engineering and what a ride it as been. I've been living in Oshkosh, WI since my company transfered me here in 1991. I met my significant other in 1997 and share 2 wonderful sons from a previous marriage. We have two dogs, Brittney and Gizzy, that are my kids. I received my 2nd degree black belt in Tae Kwon Do in 1998. I enjoy golfing, biking and exercising my dogs. Looking forward to seeing everyone at the reunion...

From Margie:
Greetings and best wishes to everyone! Sometimes it seems like we graduated just a few years ago, and other times is seems like ages ago....especially when I look at the old pictures and see the hair, the big glasses, the plaid, etc. I went on to college at Stritch, and then taught 6th, 7th, and/or 8th graders for ten years. I completed my Ph.D. about 5 years ago, and now I work as a licensed psychologist. Currently, my clients are cognitively disabled adults who also have mental illness(es). When we were still at SMA, I spent some of my summers working with cognitively disabled kids, so I guess in a way I've come full circle. Except now it's not big glasses, it's bifocals...See you in July!

From Christine: Hi Everyone! I hope you all have a great time at the Reunion and I'm sorry I can't join you. Here's my last 25 years in a nutshell: I married my college sweetheart right after graduation from Beloit College and promptly moved to New York where I was quite surprised to find myself working at Morgan Guaranty Trust Co - an investment bank. I had studied Art & Economics so it wasn't a complete shock, but I really did think I would get a job in advertising or something more artsy. 20 years and two mergers later, I'm still there - I'm a Managing Director and Chief Collateral Officer of JP Morgan Chase. The job took both of us to Belgium where we lived quite happily for 7 years, travelling every chance we got. We covered the continent from one end to the other and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves, learned French, got quite knowledgeable about wine and generally had a great time. Our son, Marc, was born there just before we returned to the States. He just turned 8 and is the light of our lives - what a great kid!! We've got dinosaurs, bugs in jars, a couple of newts, rock specimens and lots of artwork taking over the house. My husband just left a 20-year career in banking and has taken a professional turn to teaching. He's thrilled to have landed a job and come September will be teaching history at a private high school in New Jersey - just 20 minutes from home. I think the kids will be lucky to have a teacher like him. Sorry I don't have a picture readily at hand. Most people say I never change, so maybe you can think of me as a slightly older version of the Christine you used to know. Lots of love to everyone!

From Jennifer: After the Academy I graduated from UW Oshkosh with a degree in Biology. I worked in pharmaceutical labs for two years. I married Pete in 1988 and have five beautiful children who keep me busy. My oldest Nicole is going to be a senior at Neenah High next fall and is pulling all the tricks we use to play to commandeer the family Suburban for school! My youngest, Jacob, is three and in between are 3 other boys who keep us running with baseball, football, swimming and soccer. My part-time fun escape for the last two years has been to work the VIP skyboxes at Lambeau Field for all Packer home games. Looking forward to seeing everyone on Friday night.
