InLooking forward to the reunion...what a great way to reconnect with old friends and classmates!!! Thanks Eileen for opening your home to all of us!
I'm especially happy that Barbara (Brulotte) and her husband will be attending the reunion with us. We had a chance to reconnect last summer while she was in MA visiting her parents. There were not enough hours to catch up but we tried!
After graduating from SHS I attended Bridgewater State College and graduated with a degree in Elementary Education. I married Walt Moquin at the end of my Junior year at BSC. (I had just turned 21 a couple of days before our wedding...way too young!!!!) Peter was born in Sept. after graduation and then Matthew about 17 months later.
My sister Susan (class of 1969) had 2 sons about the same time and then 1 more....we had a lot of great times raising 5 boys together!
My first teaching position was in a private pre-school where I eventually took a position as Kindergarten teacher for several years. After my marriage of 21 years had fallen apart , I was hired in Fall River to teach science to 7th graders. I signed up for some professional development courses taught by George Goodfellow......I admired his teaching style and his philosophy not to mention pretty good-looking, too !!!! So ... when the courses were over we got together and have been together now for 17 years....married for 13 ..and life is great!!! He is the ultimate family man....and teacher! I retired early so we could teach together at Scituate High School in RI for 3 years where he was chosen RI State teacher of the Year in 2008. We are both retired for the past 4 years but team-teach a basic science class at URI Providence campus every 3rd semester.
We travel to Florida 5-6 times a year to spend time with Riley ...our 4 year-old grandson .... more fun than any trip to any other part of the world!!!
It's all about family...and I am so fortunate that I still have both my parents...dad just celebrated his 90th birthday and is still playing golf!!! Mom loves her iphone and is the center of our universe!
Looking forward to seeing old friends....hope we'll have name tags!!!!
