Hello, Everyone!

I live in Chatham, married with two children: Ryan, 13, Catherine 10.  I work as a Real Estate Agent for Weichert Realtors in Chatham - member of Weichert Million Dollar Sales and Marketed Clubs. Call me on 201-213-0250!

Let's do the lunch thing everyone - how about Short Hills Hilton in February or March sometime?

Michelle

Rose Merchant-Bennett

Greetings to all, the short version is I am married, have four children (2 mine - Brett 23, Ashley 20 and 2 step sons - Brynn 25, Shawn 23) Brett and Brynn have graduated from college, Ashley and Shawn are still in college.  I have worked for the Federal Aviation Administration for the past 25 years as an Air Traffic Controller and the manager for Independent Safety Assessment which does testing on systems for Air Traffic and the National Airspace System. (How I got from a degree in Biology to be an Air Traffic Controller is a longer story.) I live in Northern Virginia and work in Washington DC.

The only St E's classmate that I routinely correspond with is Debra Kahn Trum who is now living in Forest, VA which is located in southern VA, near Lynchburg. Debra has four daughters, two in college and two at home.  Debra started home schooling her two youngest which I am sure is a full time job.  If anyone is ever in the Washington DC area I would love to catch up.

Hi All!

Hope everyone is doing well.

In response to Michelle  What a great idea!  How about March?  That way we can all put it on our calendars and save the date.  

I continue to work and live in Elizabeth, NJ.  I work with my husband, Carlos, assisting the homeless at the Elizabeth Coalition to House the Homeless and St. Joseph's Social Service Center.  My daughter, Jane is going to be 13 on February 1st-that's my baby!  Nicholas, my son, is a junior at St. Benedict's Prep.  He fences and just qualified to compete in the National Junior Olympics!  If he qualifies there, he goes to the International Junior Olympics representing the United States.  We're so proud of both kids!  

Keep in touch.

Pax.

Hi Carol! I have a new email- maryann@soareg.com.

I am still living in North Haledon with my husband Brad and four kids.  Our two oldest-Megan (21) and Matt (18) are at the College of New Jersey, Kelly (16) is a junior at De Paul Catholic High School, and Billy (13) is in 7th grade.  I'm teaching 2nd grade in North Haledon and loving it!  Last summer we celebrated my in-laws' fiftieth wedding anniversary by all going to Cancun-that's all of Brad's 7 siblings, spouses, and kids-48 people in all! It was a blast.

I'm definitely interested in seeing everyone if we pick a date in Feb or Mar-I am already busy the third and fourth weekend of Feb, however.  Please let me know.

Hi Carol,

My name is Elaine Di Marzo Sawka. You probably don't recall my name, but I was one of those campus residents turned full-time commuter students at St. E's. I haven't corresponded nor attended the class reunions over the years, for reasons I'm not even sure why.  However, you caught me at a good time via this email to provide you a bit of a personal update.

Since graduation I worked in corporate marketing for nearly 15 years. I have two sons; ages 15 and 12. I have lived in Mendham Township for 17 years. Presently, I am working in a high school district teaching special education students.  The year 2007 was difficult for having lost my father.  He always had a special affinity for St. E's which deeply affected my decision to become a graduate.

Thank you for your continual efforts to keep us all in touch.

Hi everyone!

I'm married and have two daughters. Alison is 16, a junior, and in the process of looking at colleges.  Kristen is 13, a freshman.  I've been working at the elementary school that my girls attended for 10 years now.  I'm in the library.  Before that I  was a stay-at-home-mom.  We live in upstate NY - Ulster County - in a little hamlet called Clintondale. 

A get together would be fun!

Chris Seery Higgins

All is well in Freehold,NJ.  I am working with Nolan at the Higgins Memorial Home which is going well. Jessica , 24, has left her job at Evergreen International ( sales was not her cup of tea ) and is looking down south for a job, probably North Carolina or somewhere a bit warmer than New Jersey- so presently she is back home with us until that comes together. Allison, 21, is a senior at Northeastern University in Boston and will be taking a job as an analyst for Merrill Lynch in the World Financial Center in Manhattan. She just completed a six month internship with ML and will  return to there after graduation in May.   Where have the years gone ?????

It would be wonderful to get together for lunch like Michelle suggested- keep me posted !!

Happy New Year !!!!!

All the best,

Maureen Liebner Brown

I am still working part time.  I am a bookkeeper for an Appraisal firm right in Clark, no commute.  But my husband is bugging me to work full time since the kids are now big.  My son Vincent age 19 is now a Sophomore at Moravian College he’s Pre-Med (makes his mother proud) and my daughter Victoria age 17 is a Junior at AL Johnson HS.  This year I will be married 25 years.  Would love to get together in March!

Kathleen Karkos forwarded me all the emails that are going around.  Please add me to your distribution list.  I think my email address may have been wrong.  Home is:  SPOONS88@aol.com and Work is: kathleen_ford@ml.com.

My husband Tom and I will celebrate our 20th anniversary this year.  We live in Hamilton, NJ and have 2 daughters - Hannah who is 15 and a sophomore in high school and Erin who is 13 and in 7th grade.  I work for Merrill Lynch in Hopewell, NJ.  I am in Training and my group trains the support staff in all of the Merrill Lynch branch offices across the country.  I do get to do a little traveling and may be going to Japan later this year.

I have marked the March date for brunch on my calendar and would really love to see everyone.

See you soon!
