Here’s a “howdy” note from Ann Short, Class of 74:
Oh John Larrere! Just seeing your face brought back so many happy memories of high school. So happy to see you doing so well! I live in Ithaca, NY; my daughter is working in marketing in Manhattan, working for the firm that handles “Wicked”, and I am, in fact, visiting her there this weekend, 8/22-24/08. I quick thanks to Teresa Ringholz for forwarding me this website. Laurie Schickler! Great job! Can you believe it will be 35 years in ‘09? Holy —-! Hi to all alum I was honored to matriculate with! Ann Short
Hi folks! We’ve had two questions come in the past few days I thought I’d post here:
1. From Jane Danielson Rickard at jdr2431@yahoo.com
Jane wants to know if there are any Mooney grads in the Chicago area. Please respond to her directly.
2. From Chuck Cooper Chas177@aol.com asking if there’s any news on a 1973 reunion. Please let him know if you have that information!
I never really know how much the liberal yet powerfully catholic lessons I learned at Mooney meant until I had left the church and moved to Chicago. It was not the dogma which has kept me on a firm path with God but the rich ethical lessons that were often taught to us along with class material. I work daily with people of all faiths, languages and traditions many of my students come from families rich in love and poor in material goods. It is how to bring the best to all, is a lesson that was taught daily by by example the Brothers. When I ‘m asked what order taught me (believe it or not a common question in very Catholic Chicago) I tell them with pride Brothers of the Holy Cross.
I think it was Br. Lawrence who taught us no action, no faith, they both go together.”
