Happy New Year

Well another year is upon us!  In two years our class will meet another milestone.  I hope that everyone stays healthier or gets healthier in the new year.  That's my plan!  (Did you hear that Debbie Washington is out of rehab and has gone back home? Continue to pray for her and I will keep you posted on her recovery.)

We should start planning for a cruise or a trip for 2014.  Start sending suggestions and information and I will post it on the blog.  I am so glad that many in our class got together in 2012.  Let's stay in contact!

Enjoy yourself!

Christmas Memories from Barb

One of my fondest memories of Christmastime at Mercy was that of Sr. Rita Marie’s Spanish class and singing along to Feliz Navidad!

It’s a happy memory and it comes to mind each time I hear Jose Feliciano start to sing it!!  Mostly, I envision Donna Bonk singing and dancing to the tune!

Merry Christmas,

Barbara Pustai Malkowski

Happy Holidays

I remember Christmas to be a special time at Mercy High School.  In my freshmen year I sang with the Freshman Chorale.  Wasn't Sr. Rosemary the director? 
In my senior year I was in the Glee Club.  That was so much fun.  Do you have any Christmas memories?  If you want to share, I will post them!

Have a safe and happy holiday.  Please say prayers for everyone who cannot share this special day with their angels.

Photos

Do you have any new or old photos that you want to share?  Carol and Judy and Debra have posted photos on Facebook or e-mailed them to me.  I want to make a short movies.  In the meantime, I will post slide shows.  I will periodically change the set up and music as I receive them.

Contacts

Well...the e-mail list went out a couple of days ago.  Ladies who attended the luncheon wrote their e-mail addresses on the sign-in sheet.  If you know of anyone who would like to be added to list, please send their e-mail address to me and I will put it on the list.

Some alumni want to share addresses and telephone numbers.  I will send an e-mail soon for those who want to share this info.  (Some girls have already done so.)  This will be optional. No personal information will be put on Facebook.

I am also looking for photos from the event.  I've "harvested" a few from the internet.  I will share them on the blog.  Please let me know if you do not want your image posted.

Reunited...

Our 40th reunion was the best.  So many "young" ladies showed up for our special celebration.  Cheryle Wall created the coolest key rings made for us.  Everyone passed around yearbooks, a school newspaper and photo albums.  We even had an old senior uniform!  Deborah Washington's sister, Janet, represented our president at this special event.  Thanks to Rosemary Trussell (Hulett) a small group of us met at 15 Bourbon Street and enjoyed drinks and appetizers.  I urge anyone who took pictures to share them with me and I will make a movie and post it on this blog.

So many years pass and we lose touch.  I would like to keep this blog going for years to come.  I urge all Mercy girls to help me with this effort.  I have a list of all the e-mail addresses for the attendees.  I will make them available to everyone and I hope everyone keeps in touch.  Let's even think about a special celebration like a cruise for our special birthdays in two years!

Mercy girls are hard to beat!

As of...

As of my last count...there are 50 people from our class attending the luncheon plus 5 guests.  Based on RSVPs there are 25 people from the class attending the after set.  The after set takes place at Bourbon Street Restaurant.  We do not have reservations, so we will just show up and enjoy.

Looking forward to this special day.
