Comments: I have been married to Ron for almost 16 years and have 6 children, (3 boys and 3 girls). I was just a first-time mother of the bride as my oldest daughter just got married 7/12/2008. The ages of the children at this time: 25, 24, 19, 17, 15, & 7. We have already had two college graduates (and grad school) and number 3 will be a sophomore at SUNY Oswego this fall. We have lived in various areas of NYS, but have been in the Massena area for 8 straight years and hope to stay there for a while longer.
The reunion was awesome! It was great seeing all of my "older" friends, the 1978 graduates there, as well.

I have a great daughter, Maresa, who just received her Bachelors Degree in Music Education from the Crane School of Music in May 08. I spend most of my summer in the Clayton area when I'm not marching with my marching band at various festivals and field day parades around Jefferson and Lewis Counties.
