Heidi Dugal LeClair has two sons at Drury High School now, Karl is a junior and captain of the football and basketball teams, Clement is a freshman and plays j.v. basketball. Kenneth is in 8th grade and the computer whiz of the family, otherwise his mother would not be on this website. I teach sixth grade and send my congratulations to Annette! Keep running!

Hello, I am the mom of two, Katelynn(13), and Ethan(9). Katelynn is vice-president of her 8th grade class at Conte Middle School. I have started to further my education at BCC, with the intent of changing careers and becoming wealthy. (hahaha) That about sums up what I've been doing for the past 20 years. Bye.

Carol Pead Bright
Hey, everyone!
You've done a great job with the web page -- super idea! The info is interesting and the pictures pretty hilarious. Hopefully you'll get responses with addresses on all those missing. (No help from me...)
Hope all is well with all of you. On behalf of those of us who can't be there to help, thanks so much for putting all of this together.
Looking forward to it, and seeing you all. If I can do ANYTHING from North Carolina, I'd be more than willing.
Take care.

Pat Louison Rosse
I hope that we have a great 20th that is fast approaching us this summer. I can't wait to see everyone one there. Well until then everyone have a safe summer and see you all there!!!!
take care.

I am the mother of two, (girl and boy), Jillian, age 12, and Quinn, age 8. I am the telecommunications administrator for K B Toys. I have been married for 14 years to Mark Dushanek, from Class of '79 at Mt. Greylock. I have
to say, our class web site sure beats Mt. Greylocks!!!

David Breda
Hey gang! Great to see all these names from the past 'blast from the past'. It brings back so many memories. It's hard to imagine that 20 yrs have gone by since that state of mind called High School. I haven't lived in N.A. since '79, and haven't been in contact with many of you since then. Anyway, I'm trying to get back for the reunion but it's still unknown. Juggling 3 little ones, a job and building a company of our own, tends to make schedules crazy. It would be great to hear from you and hope to see you soon (by the way, Nancy, JoAnn and Annette, you are doing an AWESOME job, thanks....).
