MARY KAY JOHNSON

Mary Kay Wackwitz Johnson and her husband Dennis live in Madison and they have two children: Meghan is 28 and Michael is 27. Mary Kay is an Instructional Resource Teacher within the Madison Metropolitan School District.

And what has she been up to? "I have been thinking about this question for awhile and was wondering what I should write. I have never left the westside of Madison, have worked in the Madison Schools for 37 years, and am as predictable as I was in high school. So what else can I say?
I have been married for 30 years and have two great children. Both Meghan and Michael graduated from Edgewood High School. So I enjoyed my second and third time going through EHS. It was fun to see many of our classmates there as parents. We had the privilege to chair Edgefest for two years--one being the last year of the event!! I also taught the football teams parents the school fight song--and the hymn. This itself was interesting since I was always told that mouthing the words would be better than actually vocalizing!! (for all the BS grads--remember how we were numbered 1-3--I was a three).

Meghan has followed me into education and Mike has become a business owner like his dad. I hope to retire within this year."

Favorite memories ? "I fondly remember all the football games and the basketball games (in the old gym!!!)--going to state basketball tournaments our freshman year, and study halls in the cafeteria!!"

Mary Kay - I thank you for being the experienced and guiding light behind this reunion
See you in July - well - and many times before that!

MARY ROWE

Mary Byrne Rowe is living in beautiful Gotham, WI after spending 35 years in Southern California........don't say a thing. She still works as a designer - her motto is "If it doesn't move - decorate it" Three darlings: Carolyn 29, Meghan 24 and Matthew 21.

Exactly what has she been up to ? "Traveled around in the early 70's - including two extended stays in CA. Finally finished UW in '74 and moved to So CA in the Spring of '75. Married Peter Rowe - settled down and spent the eighties having babies, being the PTO mom, soccer mom, T-Ball mom with a mini van ...... and through it all - a self-employed interior designer. Turned fifty, got a divorce and moved to the beach. Laguna Beach is a fabulous place - and I loved every minute of my time there, but reality set in and the rent came due and I decided it was time to get back to some sort of normalcy. With all kids graduated high school and happy (as they could be) I moved back to Wisconsin in 2007. Of course "normalcy" is relative: I bought an old country church circa 1840 outside of Spring Green and am renovating it and turning into my home.
Life is good. "


Favorite memories? "I have wonderful memories of Edgewood ...... sure I was insecure and self-conscious - but isn't that what high school is all about? A few favorite memories in no particular order: The U-Haul !! ....... going to McDonalds after the final episode of The Fugitive - it was raining and Gary Lloyd ran in front of our car with his arm tucked up his sleeve- just like the opening scene of the show ! .... Senior retreat and dancing like Zorba ... T.P.'ing Shimanski's house - if you have a front lawn w/ that many trees, be prepared. Dan L. singing "The House of the Rising Sun" Going to Lombardino's and then Hoyt Park w/ the girls who were dressed like nuns (after they broke into the nuns laundry) - I Phelta Thi - Cactus Bluff - pep rallies and games- getting out of detention to go get Coke for Sister Alphonsine at Fauerbachs ........... this was all great, good , clean fun !"
