Michael is a comptroller with Perini Corp, and is now working in Jersey City. Danny and his wife, Elvira, have two boys, Justin and Nicholas. Dan is a manager at Ruby Tuesdays. Sean is a foreman at the Star Ledger, married to Kathy, and has two children, Makenna and Sean, Jr. Tara is an executive assistant with the Schultz Organization, married to Ian and expecting her first child. We can't wait. Matt is a researcher with the University of Alaska in Anchorage, married to Melissa and very close to having his Ph.D. in criminal justice. I'm still an avid reader, presently not working outside the home. I am into carpentry in a big way (beds, cabinets, bookcases, tables, toys, etc.). My best-ever presents have been power tools. A gift certificate from Home Depot sends me into ecstasy. I also dabble in home décor with successful results. All in all, I am one happy woman. I hope some year to get to a reunion. I think fondly of my old friends. Maybe you could have a reunion somewhere along Rt. 9 so it would be easy to get to. The recent events in New York have saddened me but also made me appreciate all we have as a family. It also bought to mind my old best friend, Judy Kist, who died when she was only 44. I have been unable to find out what happened, since her parents are deceased and her sisters are married. Does anyone have any info? Love to all."
