SMdP Class of 1987


Clockwise from left: Me, Susan Feinendegen, Jenny Muraski, Andi Garcia, Dan Hertel, Heather Schumacher, Della Cordoba.

When I joined Facebook, the whole reason for it was to reconnect with friends from grade school and high school. Last night, after many, many years a group of us got together for dinner at Mickey Finn's, 22 years after graduating from Santa Maria del Popolo.

Susan Feinendegen, Andi Garcia and I have known each other since Kindergarten. Della Cordoba started in, I think, 3rd grade--at least that's when I met her-- and Dana Hertel, Jenny Muraski, and Heather Schumacher all joined the group in 5th grade. We were always a close group of kids, so it was so nice to reconnect and reminisce about stuff we went through, together. Thanks to Andi, we saw the horror that was our uniform, a tradition of a decorated Chandler's notebook and the musings of 13 year old girls and our problems of the day, who was going out with whom and who was a "massive babe"--I think that was Jim Kranz, right Susan?LOL

I loved getting together with them, last night, and I am so glad I was able to do it before we moved.

As I said on Facebook, the oldest friends really are the dearest friends.

I started in 1st grade...kindergarten was full so i went to Washington School for K. I wasn't in your class til 3rd grade. I was in Andi's class in 2nd but our moms knew each other before that.

And it was so fun catching up with everyone!
