Class of 1982

Thanks to Beth for going first!

Okay, I'll go first. Hi from Beth Lapachet. I'm living in the city and working as a physical therapist at Kaiser San Francisco. I'm married to Brian Byrne who I met on my intersession trip to Yosemite our senior year. I have two kids, Kieran is 10 and goes to St. Thomas Apostle in the richmond. Michaela is 16 and a junior at Mercy! She just wrapped up the fall play. I'm still in touch with Manuela Mangaoil (now DeJong) and saw Cybil Kassner (now O'Leary) and Sue Cagniglia about a year ago. Time to arrange another get together...

Did anyone see Monica Denevan in the pink section a while ago? Her studio was featured in an article about the city wide open studios event. Amazing photography from Burma.

Anyway, I never seem to be able to go to the reunions but would love to hear what others are up to.

Welcome Mercy High School San Francisco Alumni!

Welcome Skippers,

well.. we have a blog site for Alumni's (even if it's unofficial). What do we do with it? Your suggestions are most appreciated.

What memories do you have when someone mentions Mercy High School? Here is what comes up in my mind immediately..
19th Avenue, M Oceanview , Skirt check, Tater Tots, 4th Floor swimming pool, Ms. Gleason (she always had the best shoes!), Typing class , sun tanning behind the tennis court, Sister Estelle (she locked the door when you were late)..Ceramics class..Anxieties about being accepted..
ok these are the things I remember fondly about Mercy High.

Here's your chance to start a post for.. add a comment to this or suggest another topic and I can start new threads for all to chime in.

If you just want me to start a blog for a specific class group, comment what year and we can get that started too.


Cheers. eva
