Married Steve Ostrzycki(Jiggs)also, from the CHS class of 1956. We have four children and seven wonderful grandchildren. We became 'Southerners'(with three children and one on the way), when we moved to Chattanooga, TN, in 1970, for Jiggs to attend Tennessee Temple University. Upon graduation, we moved to Huntsville, AL(space capitol of the world) where we continue to reside. For a period of a few years, we both taught in a Christian School here and then Steve, took on the position of Youth Educator(can you believe?) and I accepted a position with a government contractor, working primarily with the Missle Space and Intelligence Center. I plan to retire July, 03 and pursue a writing career, that has long been 'on-hold'. We attend most of our reunions and in particular, were elated over the Fabulous 50's Reunion. Still visit the 'Valley' periodically, as many of our families still live there. We enjoy the new technology through cyberspace and look forward to hearing from some of our 'old friends'. Hopefully, this site will spread like wildfire. |

Greetings to All...
I should mention I did not graduate officially. I dropped out of school to go to work. I moved to the Buffalo, NY area in 1957, for better job opportunities. My plan was to work here, until I had enough money for a new car and return home. Still here. Still no new car. I served four years in the U.S. Navy, as a radio operator. After retiring from Bethlehem Steel, even though I did not like school, I began a course of studies and I am now a Minister in the United Methodist Church. I would like to hear from any of the old Fisher Heights gang that hung out at the old Texaco station, in Wickerham`s Corners. Good work on this website. I do check in and read the entries occassionally. (Updated 10/7/06) |

So far, we're enjoying apartment living, and being closer to our family.

We lived in the Valley until 1970, when we moved south and have lived in Chattanooga, TN, Chickamauga, GA and Huntsville, AL(where we now live), since that time. Fulfilled our dreams and wishes, with four children and seven grandchildren, with all of them living within an 18 mile radius of each other. We feel very blessed. I had been in Christian Education, since 1977 and just recently retired. Becky, will retire, in July, '03 and we intend to do a little traveling. Still an avid sports fan and to keep Becky, 'on her toes', when she gets a little bored with watching every game... I remind her, that she was a cheerleader(sometimes she responds, other times she grabs the 'clicker' and 'gets her way'. So, what else is new?). We are anxious to hear from our friends via this site.

Retired several years ago, after having spent my professional life in the field of education: teaching, counseling, writing, etc.. Married Jim Mendola, Class of 1954, from Monongahela. Have 2 sons... Mark and Darren and 3 grandchildren. Reside part-time, in Ft. Meyers, FL. Have attended all my reunions, but especially enjoyed the 50's one, where I reconnected with so many friends, who did not graduate in my year. Such fond memories of such wonderful people. Growing up in the Valley was great. |
