1974-1978

1980

Sadly, I left Loretto after my Sophmore year of HS and moved to St. Louis. I was thrown in to a huge suburban public HS. What an adjustment! Attended MU for one year and then made my way back to KC to finish at UMKC with a degree in psychology and criminal justice. Moved to San Diego in 1985 with Joan Neumann and eventually back to KC. Burned out on Probation and Parole work so I went back to school to become a RN and ironically now work in the county Juvenile Detention Center.

I have so many memories of times at Loretto...all the middle school canoe trips, the week long backpacking experience with Creighton, sister Vickie teaching me how to pump gas, Sister Barbara collecting money for the poor in her tootsie roll can, the "city" made out of refigerator boxes, getting caught on the catwalks in the theatre and as a punishment being forced to weed the long driveway, sheep grazing on the lawn,finding the old cemetary behind the school. I could go on and on..The 4 years at Loretto were my best school years!
