We’ll pass this along to Sister Lucy, Kathy — We know she’ll enjoy hearing from you!
I wanted to get in touch with Sister Lucy Schneider – she was my favorite teacher at Marymount (I graduated in 1970). I have read lots about Willa Cather since she talked to me about her so many years ago. I just saw another picture of her in the paper that comes for Alumni – just wanted to reconnect and tell her hi and how much she meant to me when I was there at school.
I just saw the photo of my aunt Sister Lucy Schneider in the procession. It’s a beautiful picture of a beautiful woman who has done so much for our family, her community and the wider world and church. God bless her in this Jubilee year. I am so proud to have her as an Aunt and an example of Christian love and service.
What a joy to be able to share vicariously in this wonderful 125th year celebration through the photo galleries! John and I would have attended had it not been for a serious conflict: welcoming a new grandson into John’s son’s family in Phoenix.
May God continue to bless each and every one of you.
In gratitude for all your dedicated service,
Marilyn (Jasper) Hunt
Thank you for more pictures. It was great to be there and then relive the day through the pictures. As Sr Mary Jo would write to me when I was a small boy…XXOOXX
Pat you now have your own identity, so keep it special under your name . Anne
Thanks for compliment, Jody! You and I are sisters so “Jody” – “Pat” – who will remember except you and me! I was mistaken for Pat Neihouse”s deceased sister a couple years ago so this was good! Pat
Jodi,
You are right on one thing- it is Pat and not you!

I’m not as photogenic as Pat Lewter, and I recognize her with Jean Rosemarynowski—or maybe she’s my twin!!!
