Yes! Attending Reunion
Comments:

I returned as a teacher at Jeannette Jr. High this school year after teaching high school for 15 years. I'm working with Diana Nows (Balsama). Crazy feeling being back. Thought I would be excited to give back to a community that gave to me so many years ago, but regretfully can not stand the jr high mentality. Luckily, great people like Debbie Dorosh and Sue Fraser still work there and seem to help put things in perspective for me.

Since working there, my blood pressure has shot up. I clearly have made a decision that jr high is not for me teaching or administration wise. Looking forward to returning to the high school next year or taking a leave.

I hope someone helps organize some events so we can see each other between the big reunion times. My mother in law is in her mid-seventies and it's so much fun to hear her speak of the reunions they are still having today with the 5o some people that are still left.

This is Valleluce (the valley of light) overlooking it from the cross, where St Bartalameo is believed to have once lived. My parents were both born in the village and came to America back when the were 18 & 19 years of age to make a better life for themselves.

This photo is only a handful of the relatives that still remain in Valleluce, I can't possibly fit them all in a photo, the families continue to grow. My sister moved back there, while I'm still very happy to be living here, in the land of plenty. If you think our economy is bad, they've been paying $9.00/gal of gas for several years now.

This is my husband, Jeff, and I. This August makes 15 years that we've been married. We met at WMU.

This photo was taken in the village square an evening that there was a fund raising festival.
