Reunion Committe

Since May we've been working on our 40th reunion meeting at Irene (Watkins) Guinther's home. "We" includes: Millie (Lazur) Dunlap, Kathy (Sartoris) Rafferty, Karen (Prohaska) Rafferty, and Beverly (Papuga) DePetris. We order out for dinner, take turns bringing dessert and generally work from 6 to 10pm on Tuesday's calling people from the phone book who could hopefully give us a good address. We've come across some pretty tough charactors to hunt down, even in this age of computerization.
Enjoy your summer and let us know what's new with you!

I am so glad you all were able to get my address from Karen Luttner. I am excited about the reunion and will be attending with my husband Tim. I guess we moved since our last reunion so my address changed even though I only moved down the highway a bit! If I can be of any assistance, please let me know. I really don't keep in contact with any classmates but I could help in the search if needed.

Hi everybody!! As you probably know I am living in Latrobe and am married to Denny Rafferty. We have 2 terrific daughters, Jessica and Erin. They both are back in school. Jessi is in her second year at George Mason Law School and Erin is in pre-med at Old Dominion University. Denny is still practicing law in Greensburg and I am doing artwork. (painting)
We are looking forward to our 40th and can't wait to see all of you!!!

I am so anxious for our 40th. It is hard to believe it has been that long. I am still residing in Latrobe and still employed at Kennametal. I am the proud Nanny of 4 grandchildren who are the joy of my life. Hope everyone is doing great. It really has been fun planning the reunion and remembering the "old times" Can't wait to see everyone.

I'm married to Tim for 36yrs and we have lived in North Versailles for 33yrs. We have 3 children, Chris 33, Rob 28, and Erin 26. None of my kids are married yet so no grandkids. Atleast none that we know of!!! I am an RN and I have worked at UPMC McKeesport for 32yrs in mostly critical care units but my current position is on the IV team. I am looking forward to seeing you all again. Thanks for all the work and time you gals are putting into organizing this reunion.

My thanks to the committee for all their hard work!! I will be there with bells on - I'm so excited to see everyone. I have been married to Tim for 37 years. I have three children, Heidi 36 (mother of my two grandkids, Luca 3 and Cella 1) and due with our third grandchild in February, Holly 33, recently married and living and teaching in Asheville, NC, and Timmy 32, married and working in DC as Director of Technology Initiatives at Teaching Strategies, Inc. He and his wife are expecting our fourth grandchild in March. I left clinical nursing in 88 and now work for BearingPoint as a consultant (primarily working with health plans). Let me know if I can do anything.

Wow it's hard to believe it's been 40 years! I have been married for 27 years to Bob Brigode and we have one son, Andrew age 22 who is attending college. I worked for about 20 years as a legal secretary/assistant, 17 years as a NRA certified rifle coach at Hempfield High School with my husband, last 15 years as Dept Secretary, Barclay Rehab, Excela Health (for 3 hospitals), and Mayor of Hunker Borough last 10 years. Thanks to everyone for their fine effort in putting this reunion together. Pat (Torock) Brigode
