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 Janice: Mom always said that time flies as we get older ~ She wasn't kidding! I'm amazed by how quickly the years have slipped by. After graduation, I started working as a clerk typist for the City of Milwaukee, and I continued in government service for the next 15 years. Some highlights of my service include working in Madison for the state Lottery as well as two stints as invitation secretary for former Milwaukee Mayor John Norquist. I left the workforce in 2000 to spend time with my mom. I met my husband, Tony (a Thomas More alum) while we were both working for the city Public Works department in 1985 and we married in 1986. We live in Milwaukee and enjoy spending time in the Northwoods.

From Anne: What a pleasure to read all that has happened to our classmates. Thanks to those that were involved in arranging the reunion and the website. The last 25 years have been full of many blessings. After SMA, I went to UW-Madison and graduated with a BA in Business. I started out my career in mortgage banking in Milwaukee and changed over to International Banking at First Bank. I met my husband Steve at a bank function where we were playing volleyball together. We were married in May 1992 and a few years later, we moved to South Dakota. After 18 months there, my husband was scouted out to be part of a student loan company in Ohio. Cincinnati has been our home for the last eight years. I stopped working outside the home after our last move. We have two daughters---Nicole who's 12 and Gabbie who's 7. Both girls enjoy volleyball, basketball, softball, gymnastics, and soccer. We spend many of our days watching their games. Since our move to Cincinnati, I have volunteered as my daughters' taxi driver, a basketball coach, Girl Scout leader, classroom parent, and several miscellaneous community service activities. Currently I have the desire to re-enter the business community. Just looking for the right niche. Looking forward to re-connecting with classmates in July.

From Jo-Anne: Like everyone else I'm amazed 25 years have passed since SMA. After graduation I skipped college and started working as a Typist for the City of Milwaukee where much to my surprise I am still employed. I have moved up the ladder and at this time work in the Accounting section of DPW. I married my husband Jay in 1987, he works for MPS teaching special needs students. Having no children I practiced mothering by turning our Retriever into a big baby, unfortunately we lost her after 13 years in January. We enjoy the outdoors and spend most of our free time exploring Wisconsin's back roads, canoeing and hiking and fishing. We spend most of our vacations in a wilderness area in the UP, Boundary Waters or Canada, however our favorite vacation was to Belize. I have really enjoyed reading what everyone has been up to the last 25 years. Thanks to our organizers!

From Joanne: It is hard to believe that 25 years have flown by; I understand now how fleeting is the time we are given. I loved my time at SMA and credit the experience and the firendships forged there with substantially influencing the person I am today. I am very happily married to my high school sweetheart and believe it was truly a gift to grow up together. The planning process has been a great way to re-connect with classmates and I am looking forward to celebrating with everyone in July!
