Dick Graham After St. Monica's I attended Aquinas. After graduation I spent four lovely years in the United States Navy. My wife and I (Judy Maloney, St. Augustines/St.Agnes) lived in Virginia for about 1 yr. We moved back to Rochester in 1966. I attended RIT nights and worked for the Kodak Construction gang. I got lucky and landed a job in the Kodak engineering department and there I worked for the next 23 years. 8 of those years we spent in Colorado. I retired from Kodak in 1991 and spent the next two years at odd jobs, I was offered a job on contract by my old Kodak boss. I went back to Kodak in 1995 and I just retired again after 10 more years at the Yellow Box. My wife and I now have 7 grand children all living here in Rochester. They are the love of our life and keep us going.
Karen Roth O'Brien David and I were married 10/28/61. We have one daughter, Heather who is married and was born 9/4/62. She is married to Ed and they have no children. I went to Nazareth Academy and graduated in 1960 and went to work at Rochester Telephone as a clerk. I took a leave of absence with Heather and then returned to work in 11/62. I retired in 1990 after 30 years of service receiving a full pension at that time. I moved through the ranks at the phone company in Customer Service positions to become a supervisor in the Business Office and ultimately becoming a manager in Customer Services, and then moving into Computer Services managing programmers that built systems for our systems and managing the Computer Operations and Software for the entire Company. Dave worked at Kodak simultaneously in production in paper services and then became a Construction Manager at Kodak Park. He was fortunate to retire in 1991. Since then we have been enjoying the benefits of those hard years. We reside in Waterport NY on Lake Alice from April to October and then spend our winters in our mobile home in Zephyrhills FL. We have the best of both worlds.

Barbara Sidoti Giancursio After graduating from St. Monica's, I attended Nazareth Academy, where I was always in trouble for talking, wishing all the while I could be at West High with all the "cool" people. Soon after graduation, my Father passed away so, in lieu of college, I attended Rochester Business Institute for one year studying Business and Marketing. I worked for B. Forman Company for a short time, then to Kodak Office for seven years where I was a bookkeeper, tax accounting clerk (boring!)and accounts receivable correspondent. I was married in 1967 and have two wonderful children. In 1975, I became a single parent and raised my daughter and son by myself while working at Wegmans and Chase Pitkin. My eighteen year career there included Fabrics Department Manager, Annual Home Show Coordinator and Danny Wegman's Assistant. After my children were "safely" off to college, I decided to concentrate on my own life. I met Joe through some friends and we have been happily married for fourteen years. We started our own direct mail advertising business, Consumer Pak, in 1999, and have been operating it ever since. Some of you probable receive our mailer at your homes. It's a bright gold coupon booklet. Last year, I decided to become a sales representative for Silpada Designs Fine Sterling Silver Jewelry. I'm having a great time meeting lots of new people and sharing my passion for the jewelry and for the business opportunity. In my "spare" time, I am an active member of the Greece Chamber of Commerce, serving on a number of committees to help me stay in touch with the community. Joe and I enjoy motorcycle riding (I'm the passenger), entertaining friends, ushering at all the local theaters and visiting our families in Syracuse and Florida. I am looking forward to seeing all of you at the reunion to share your stories and reminisce about our days at St. Monica's. All the photos on the website are great!!!

Maureen Adams Quaderer After leaving SMS I went to West High then worked at various companies in the Rochester area ending up at Kodak. Met Hans, who spent four years in Rochester working for an international firm and we married in 1967 at St. Monica's. In 1968 we moved to Liechtenstein,which is where my husband is from, became parents of three children (2 boys and 1 girl), and have lived here since. In preparation for the move to Europe, I attended German classes. In spite of my then, vague knowdlege of the language, the beginning of a new life in a foreign country with another culture and mentality, was not always easy. Luckily, I had my husband's family who supported me in so many positive ways. Also, through the children, and various clubs I made many wonderful friends. My husband had a responsible position which involved traveling. Sometimes I was able to accompany him and these trips took us to other places in Europe plus the Far East. Now he is retired and we still travel when the possibilty arises. I worked at various part-time jobs: translations, the National Tourist Office, and an interior decorating shop but my main job was and is Mother and Housewife. Being the landlords of an apt. bldg. also kept and keeps both of us busy today. My hobbies include international cuisine, wine, sports like biking, nordic walking, tennis, hiking, and skiing. Art is another interest and I've attended classes in Art History plus enjoy painting in watercolors. In case any of you are interested in learning more about Liechtenstein, it's on the Internet and I'll bring along some info to the reunion. Looking forward to seeing you all in Sept. and many thanks to the group that took on the immense task to organize the reunion. "Aufwiedersehen" , Maureen Adams Quaderer
Kathy Sullivan Thomas After graduating from St. Monica's and St. Agnes, I went to Nazareth College where I majored in Sociology. My first job was as a caseworker for the Monroe County Dept. of Social Services, followed by medical social work at St. Mary's Hospital. I received my Masters in Social Work degree from SUNY Buffalo in 1970 and soon after married Alexander Thomas. We later divorced but we both enjoy our three wonderful children. Matthew is married and lives in Olympia, Wa. Christopher lives in Rochester, and Mary is an elementary teacher in Denver, Co. Unfortunately, no grandchildren for me.......yet! My career in Social Work spans 40+ years with approximately thirty of those years serving residents, families, and staff in long term care settings. I was with Park Ridge (now Unity Health) for eighteen years and from 1994 until my retirement in 2004, I was the Director of Social Work at Monroe Community Hospital. I enjoy continued committee involvement at MCH in retirement. In the past few years I have had the opportunity to travel to Italy, Ireland, Quebec, and Alaska and later this month will be touring Wales and Northern Ireland. For over forty years, following our graduation from Nazareth College, a group of us have met together monthly in what we refer to as "Bridge Club" although I don't recall us playing bridge more than a "hand"ful of times in the sixties! We include spouses/friends for special events such as golf tournaments, holiday and summer parties, etc. We have treasured the friendship, support, and company of one another as we have each experienced life's joys and sorrows. Fellow St. Monica alum, ANN HOLLAND RYAN, is also a member of this unique group! I am excited to be on the Planning Committee for our reunion and look forward to seeing everyone in September!
Ann Holland Ryan After St. Monica's, I continued my education at St. Agnes and Nazareth College. I graduated in '64 from Nazareth with a degree in economics. I started at Kodak office soon after. While at Kodak, I met my husband, Al. After finishing Colgate and U. of B. dental school, he was interning at Rochester General Hospital. We married in August '66, the same month he was setting up practice. In '67 I left Kodak when the first of our three children, a son, was born. Two girls followed shortly. Al passed away in 1992 after we had 26 years of marriage. My kids have all married since then; and I have five grandchildren. I am blessed to have two grandchildren almost around the corner. I baby-sit often for them and often out in St. Louis for the other three. My third child, a daughter, lives with her husband in Connecticut. At this point, I feel busier than ever. I do a fair amount of traveling and I do volunteer. I am thrilled by the positive responses we've received about the reunion. It should be terrific! The committee has worked hard, but we've had a ton of laughs sharing old memories. Most of us have not had contact with each other in close to 50 years. Let us hear from you if you have any comments or suggestions. Otherwise, I can't wait to see you in September.

I retired from Monroe #1 BOCES 3 years ago, having served as an Administrator for 30 years. Upon retirement we decided to remove ourselves from the Rochester winter months and now spend 4 months January through April on Carolina Beach in North Carolina where we play golf and enjoy the ocean and abundant sunshine.
