    3rd Grade Teacher 

    In the last Newsletter I mentioned the 3rd Grade Class picture sent in by Cathy Riordan Full and asked who the lay teacher was. I got the following response by email from Pat Urbut

    “The 3rd grade teacher was Mrs. Cusack. She used to favor you girls. She hated the lazy good for nothing boys. She would have the students with 100′s in spelling tests stand up for recognition and mention how many weeks in a row that Mary Eberhart, Dorothy Koch, Cathy Riordan, Maryann S. and others received 100′s and say nothing about myself and any other boys. I can’t forget her. Pat”

    It must be Mary Ellen Eberhardt that you are mentioning Pat, as I am pretty sure I had Sister Malcolm for 3rd grade. I don’t remember having a lay teacher at all.

    Mystery Solved 

    Today one of the great mysteries of the 1984 Reunion picture has been solved. All this time we have had one unidentified woman in the picture and Betty Ashe Ronksley and Lourdes Morris Garrick have set us straight. When Betty sent in her RSVP yesterday she mentioned that the header picture on her personal page for 1984 was the wrong picture. I asked her to look at the “unidentified woman” and lo and behold this is what she had to say,

    “Yep, that’s me sitting behind that cute Rich DeFay and next to MaryEllen Moran. Unfortunately, I’m not able to identify the female you thought was me. :)

    After looking more closely, and going through who was left that might have been there, I thought it might be Lourdes. Sho’ nuff. It is Lourdes. Pictures have all been updated to be on the correct pages.

    Another Update came in and is posted – John Knipper has sent in a picture and a little summary of the last 25 years.

    Have spent a few hours today updating the Photo Nostalgia slideshow using the photos sent in by Cathy Riordan Full. There were some great pics of her, Barbara Ellis, and Dorothea Koch. There is one photo that Cathy took “on the sly” as she says to see how her new camera worked and I would like to identify the nun in the picture if we can. Does anyone out there know the identity of the “ranks moderator” in Cathy’s picture?

      Sign me up kid . Just thinking, something I do once in a while although not often. 50 years and 1 week ago was the big day.

      Wait a minute – Graduation Day was June 10, 1959. Exactly 50 years ago today. Cr*p if I had remembered that before now I would have bought a bottle of bubbly and celebrated by getting tipsy and dancing around my living room in a poodle skirt and saddle shoes. (Just happen to have a “costume” I won a prize with at a 50′s Theme Party once around 1997 – little did the judges know – this was de rigeur dress for me one time!)
