Jeannette weighs in with comments, compliments, and pictures

We continue to encourage everyone to make appropriate submissions - no Paris Hilton items, please - for publication here; anecdotes, photographs, recollections, pieces of history - ILS history, that is, and anything else you believe our "band" would enjoy. Some of our classmates have been doing the "heavy lifting" in this regard - and once again we feature a piece by Jeannette Foye, with nice accompanying graphics, no less.

First, a compliment she believes is in order.

"Dear Alberto: I can't seem to forward this message to everyone - will you try to do that for me? Thanks. What an amazing guy!!

Bill Urbizu's mini bio is AMAZING. I am proud to call myself one of his classmates, let alone a member of the same PLANET as him. If this is a sample of the many experiences and accomplishments of one of our fellow students, I can't wait to hear more from the rest of the class. BRING IT ON! Jeannette Foye"

Bill IS pretty amazing, Jeannette - we don't call him "The Beast" for nothing! As for the origins of that animalistic nickname, we have to quiz Nelson Orta who baptized Mr. Urbizu with that moniker, believe back in "our" Sts. Peter & Paul days. Maybe at the Reunion, after the relevant parties have loosened up thanks to some high-octane "biofuel," perhaps the truth will out...

In contrast, many would like to exile the Blogmeister to ANOTHER planet, starting with his daughter. Teenagers...God's payback to former teenagers.

Moving on to other family matters, here is more from Jeannette.

"Hi Alberto: Couldn't remember if I had sent you a couple of pictures that could be put on the internet. They are during Christmas. Don't have any recent ones but they are my son Jonathan Foye, Lucas (3 1/2 years), Madeline Rose Foye (6 1/2 years) and Jen Foye, my son's wife. My son is quite 'buff', was a star football player, wrestler, marine for 6 years (fireman on the base in Yuma, AZ) and now works with a special school for disturbed teenagers (the very difficult ones) from 14 to 18 years old. His wife is a MFT, Social worker and works with foster care and adoption. They are great group!!! La Salle would've loved to have him at that school when he was younger. I am in a picture with my granddaughter and my nickname is "Jamma" - or grandma with a J.

If you think these would be appreciated, please put them on the web site.

Jeannette"

Of course they are appreciated! Thank you for introducing them to us - lovely family, very cute grandchildren. No need to tell you - enjoy them before they grow up! You are blessed to be a young grandma. If yours truly ever becomes a grandpa, by then he'll be mummified and on display at some cheap roadside museum off Route 66.

Jonathan, Lucas , Madeline Rose, and Jen Foye

Proud "Jamma"

See how nice? Send us your beautiful, evocative images. Do not forget to send the Webmistress some too, so that the Class of '68 may have a web presence to be proud of for years to come.
