Comments

50 years is a lot to catch up on! After graduating from Case, I attended UW-Parkside and earned a degree in English. Then I went to Seattle University and got a degree in Health Information. I returned to Racine and worked at St. Mary's for 10 years. I married Pat Sarto and helped him raise his son Perry.
After working at St. Mary's, I went to work at College of Lake County in Illinois (commuting from Racine) as a faculty member in the Health Information program. After 19 years as a faculty member, I was appointed the Dean of Biological and Health Sciences, where I served for 8 more years until retirement.
Along the way we had two children of our own. Now in my retirement I enjoy spending time with the 6 grandchildren (3 grown and 3 young) and even 1 great-grandchild! I learned bridge after retiring and though I'll never be very good I enjoy it. I also spend some time swimming and gardening and reading.
I enjoyed my work but I was ready to retire when I turned 60. Now I stay busier than I ever thought I would be! I always lived in Racine/Mt. Pleasant and love it here.

School Story

My memories are pretty fuzzy of high school. I do remember the Theater 32 class with Mr. Mittag and the play The Generation Gap!

I didn't know Nancy well but she was always friendly and smiling. I saw her a few times over the years and she was so engaged in her work with high school students it was great to see. She'll be missed.

The August 24, 2024 beer gardern get-together was a lot of fun. We had some classmates from out of town - Cindy Holbus from California, Donna (Krogh) Runnels from Maine, Vicki Seymour from Madison. Linda (Gohde) Hultman and her husband Mike made their first visit. I took a few photos although I know I didn't get everyone. I know Rodney Phelps and Judy Braun were there and I don't think they are in the pictures, also Sue (Fox) Nosolik. Anyway, only one more this year - mark your calendar for September 28, 5 pm
