I moved back to Rochester March 2005, definitely did not move back here for the winters. I am still a stay at home mom and loving it. I now have 3 daughters, my third born on June 14, 2005. Jamilla McAdams was thrilled to have a third God Daughter, Cecily Grace. Reading alum notes I too can't believe it will be 15 years! Can't wait to see yall. (01/06)

In 2004 I married my husband Mark, who just happens to be the son of a Mercy graduate and classmate of my mom!! What a small world! We are expecting our first child in December - we cannot wait to meet her. I have been at Paychex, Inc for almost 9 years and currently work in quality assurance testing applications before they go out to the end user. It was great to catch up with 'the girls' that showed up at our 15 year, hopefully there will be more at our 20th.(10/06)

Live in Irondequoit with husband Chris, cat Lucy, son John (who is now four, a fact that freaks me out on a weekly, if not daily, basis). Work at Boylan, Brown as a creditors' rights paralegal. Am frequently flabbergasted that we all graduated from Mercy over 14 years ago. (09/05)

After 3 years of working and living in and around Manhattan with Xerox, I was married in 2001 to my post-college sweetheart, Jim, and have now moved back home to Rochester. I'm still with Xerox Global Services, as a Healthcare Business Development Manager. I travel quite a bit for work and would love to meet up with those of you in the Northeast if our schedules can align! 

In 2003 I joined the Mercy Alumnae Board and have thoroughly enjoyed being involved with OLMHS again and reuniting with its wonderful graduates after all these years. If you haven't been back to Mercy lately, you're in for a fantastic surprise! Next year (the '05-'06 school year) I'll be serving as the Board's President and would love to have those who are interested involved in the Alumnae activities. Gretchen (Schmidt) McGrath is also representing our Class on the Board. If you or another Alum you know are interested in getting back involved, be sure to let one of us know. Until then, wishing all of you continued success and happiness...see you next year for our 15th reunion!  (02/05)

Today... my 12 year old daughter had her last day in elementary school. Next year she will be in junior high at Mercy!!!! I also have a 10 (almost 11) year old son moving on to middle school. WOW! How time flies. 

I have been working as a substitute teacher while I work on my master's degree in early childhood education. I am "single again" as they say and at the moment too busy to be "looking". I am loving life right now. I can't wait until I have the opportunity to meet up with old friends next year at our 15th reunion! Are we really old enough for that? It seems like just yesterday when we had Benny for global and Mrs. Boesel for English. Can't wait to see you all next year so we can reminisce. (06/05)

Can you believe it's been almost 15 years since we graduated? I received my BA from Wells, an MS from Miami University and then I joined the U.S. Navy. I spent two tours on ships stationed in Japan and one tour (my last) in Hawaii. I've managed to travel all over Asia, South East Asia, India and Australia. Since hitting my thirties, I thought it might be time to settle down and so now I'm in law school at the University of Iowa. Iowa has been great - I'm glad to be back in a place where I'm not given strange looks for saying "pop" when I'm asking for a beverage.... I hope everyone is well and please feel free to drop me a line! (05/05)

I graduated from SUNY Brockport with a BA in Health Science/Education in May 96.  I married the love of my life, Griff, in June 1996.  Since our wedding we have lived in Oklahoma, Washington, Oregon and currently just outside of San Francisco in sunny California.  Our son John was born in Oklahoma City in June 1998.  And our beautiful daughter, Kate, blessed our family in June 2002.  I currently love being a stay at home mommy after working for several years with Head Start, a federally funded preschool programs for low-income families as a Health Coordinator.  It is so nice to take a break a watch my little ones grow.

I would love to catch up with any classmates and visit with any in or traveling through the beautiful bay area of Northern California! (03/03)

I am currently living in East Irondequoit with my awesome husband, Patrick, and our dog and two cats. I've worked at Kodak since graduating from Nazareth college - first as a chemist (really - it's true), now as a marketing manager in the digital area (huge change, I know!). I reconnected to the Mercy world when I joined the alumnae board 2 years ago, and will serve as president of the board this coming school year (2006-2007) - never expected that would happen when I left Mercy! It's been a lot of fun, and we are always looking for new members - drop me a line! (08/06)
