Class of 1968
My heart graduated with the St. Mary's class of 1966. Since I left
Orange, our family moved to Houston, Tx. I graduated from High School
there. Moved to El Paso, TX and went to UTEP. I went to work for
Delta Air Lines as a flight attendant for 5 years. I met my husband Lou
and we've been married for 30 years (oh, that sounds like a million years
ago!). We have a son and a daughter ages 26 and 25. Our family lived
in New York for 9 years, Cleveland, OH for 10 years, Pittsburgh, PA for 3 years
and in Boston, MA for the past 8 years. For the past 10 years I have had
my own business in restoring and retouching photographs. I did manage to
go to one St. Mary's reunion (the 25th, I think). Anyway it was a hoot
seeing all of you and would love to do it again.
