Jeannette Foye graciously consented to share this with us, so we are gladly sharing it with you. Very kind words indeed - thank you, friend and classmate; quite poignant too - maybe others in our readership will care to share their thoughts, opinions, ideas, reminiscences and recollections, inspired by Jeannette's musings?
"Oye Alberto etal: I continue to be dazed and amazed at your humor and sincere sentiments towards each other and to all who are writing so frequently. It is very exciting to get a gliimpse into your creativity, mind and heart. I am thoroughly enjoying hearing stories from La Salle boys because I don't think we girls were privy to all that you shared on the "other side" of the campus. I think it would be fun to imagine our fellow ILS students as we were and who we are today. I think there will be a lot of surprises and interesting stories to tell. Just for a small sample -
I lived in San Francisco during the "hippy" days, followed an Indian guru for a while, lived in a commune in Northern California for 10+ years, traveled to India an performed vocally on stage and later went back to school and became an RN (while living in Coeur d Alene, Idaho). I have been a dialysis nurse for the last 7 years and travel all over the country training staff on special equipment. Who would've thought.....I certainly didn't. I have one son and he is married with two beautiful children named Madeline Rose and Lucas. So with that reader's digest story of my life I will hope to hear more from everyone about who they are now. I think Marily's (?) idea of wearing name tags with old pictures may be necessary. Sounds like you fellows won't have a lot of trouble remembering so much after so long. Keep it up everyone. Would love to know who you are or the road you have traveled over the last 40 years.
Jeannette Foye"
As for stories from the LaSalle boys, Jeannette et al...well, some of us no doubt will rise to the challenge and bravely tell a story or two; when it came to boys and their interactions with our suffering instructors, there are many stories to be told. To more or less quote amigo Bill Urbizu:
"If I had been a teacher in those days and had been told I was getting US guys for students...I would have committed hara-kiri!!"
