Nina Jones Suchy

I've spent most of my life after 1983 back in my roots of Ossining. At the present, I live in Croton.

I raised my daughter from the age of 9 years old in Ossining and she also is a graduate of OHS, and my son moved to Ossining at the age of 20 years old.

I bought my business in 1989 (Deli-Catering) in North Tarrytown and in 1995 General Motors Training Center asked me to relocate my business to Tarrytown. Sold my business in 2002 and went to work at Pocantico Hills Central School as Food Service Manager.

My children:

Sarah (35 years old) is living in Mohegan Lake. She gave me my first grandchild in 2007 - TJ (Thomas Augustine Conti, Jr.). He is the "man" in my life -- What a great gift anyone could receive! He has blessed me with a new breath of experience. Sarah is an accountant with a firm in Greenburgh.

Michael, my son, left Ossining and is now living in Oneonta. Michael is 42 years old and is a supervisor at Bassett Hospital in Cooperstown. He also owns his own company, Enviro-Clean By Stan (Stanley is his 1st name).

My brother, Al Jones (class of 1966), passed away September 2002 from a car accident. He has 3 daughters, 1 son, and 4 grandchildren: Jennifer Jones (40), Kristen Femenella (38), Rebecca Jones (17), and Max Jones (15). I have helped raise Max and Becca with their mom, Annette Ecke.

My life has been busy (work-a-holic) and can't believe we graduated 44 years ago!

I truly regret not being able to attend the reunion. Even though, I praise all of you who put this together and all of my high school friends and colleagues who will be there. I will be there in spirit.








Here is a brief update on the Stavis Family.
In 1995 I married my wonderful wife, Nafsika (her name is of a Greek mythological princess) and we were blessed with my daughter, Dominique, in 1998. Nafsika is a certified ultra-sound technician at Albany Medical Ctr. Hospital and Dominique is a 7th grade high honor student (having skip one grade already), and plays both basketball and soccer. She loves to watch Tom Brady of the Patriots and is wearing his jersey in the photo. We have a very large Greek family here in Albany and are very happy to live here.

My legal career has been very eclectic. I have been the general counsel or deputy counsel for four NYS agencies over the last 27 years, having most recently been the "house counsel" for the NYS Department of Health. I have also been a professor of law at George Mason Law School and currently an adjunct professor at Albany Law School. The pictures show my appearance on ABC's "Nightline" TV show for my work and publications in law and psychiatry. I have recently left the state for private practice and to publish more, including working on a book on the health crisis in our state and society in general.

Lastly, it was our intent to come to the reunion and, indeed, we started making plans to do so. However, with regret, we are unable to attend. We hope you all have a great time and send our best regards to you all.

I am so sorry that my daughter's college parent weekend has made it impossible for me to come to the reunion. I am really pleased to have reconnected with some old friends, and I hope that there will be an occasion to get together with all of you in the not too far distant future. I hope the weekend is really wonderful and I look forward to hearing all about it.

Kathy Keane Simonson

Thank you so much for your work and everyone else's too. I have looked forward to every new entry.

Neil (class of 64) and I have been together since I invited him to the senior prom. We have four kids and three grandchildren. We have lived on Holbrook Lane in Chilmark for 30 years and our kids walked to OHS and injoyed it as much as we did. Neil has worked in NYC in the textile industry and I have been working for the last 12 years in real estate. I still see and have contact with friends from both Roosevelt (especially Janet) and OHS. Enclosed is a picture of our kids at Meghan's wedding this past year (Son Chris, wife Erin, Courtney, Molly, Meghan and husband Bo Blair) and my 4th grade class from Roosevelt school (posted at PHOTOS FROM THE PAST).

Best to everyone, Kathy Keane Simonson

Sorry to miss the reunion. I was back east when I received notice of the gathering, but Michael and I were scheduled to drive home to California before the event. I'm a traveler. My partner and I just car camped across the U.S. 11,000 miles in 11 weeks. If you'd like, check out my new blog thegladnomad.blogspot.com. Highlights of the last 44 years include a good 26 year marriage with an amicable divorce; a lovely daughter, Julia (26); living in the Boston area, southern California, Kentucky and New Mexico;writing and self-publishing three books and one co-authored play; traveling all over the U.S. and Canada, Mexico, Guatemala, India, Australia, China, Ireland, the British Isles and Europe; offering energetic healing and living with my dear partner of almost five years. Not to forget a new hip this year. Keeping mobile is important as we mature. The best to everyone in the class of 1965. Maybe I'll make it to the next get together.

Gail Prosser

Hi Everyone,

I moved to AZ. In 1988 and retired from county government in January. I have two children Catherine and Brian. I have two grandchildren Tommy 6 and Rachel 3. My son and his wife are having a boy in November. They all live near Boston and I visit often. I was there in July and enjoyed going to the RI and MA beaches. I visited friends in Ossining. It was nostalgic to see OHS and the old house. My friend Mike and I both have acreage at Copper Canyon Ranch in Globe, which is 80 miles east of PHX. We travel there to escape the heat and enjoy the wide- open space.

I'm sure the reunion will be a success.

That's my son with me in the picture.
