Hey, my
name is David Robinson [esphysics@yahoo.com]
a while ago my brother Shawn posted a message about running into John Petty John
in
Iraq
and that the last time he had seen him was at Jeff Halliday's grad party.
Shawn couldn't believe the responses that his posting got and he shared them
with me; it was fun to remember the good ol days. Anyway I thought I
might have some news to contribute. I was just in Moon, June 6 (2004), for Jeff
Halliday's wedding; he met a really nice girl named Susan and she's as quick
witted and charming as Jeff (who by the way is now anchoring sports on TV for
CBS in West VA very cool). His wedding reception was a really good time
and the guest list included many of Moon High's own including my good friends
Alex Panis, and Bill Brenhisen (spelling) who were groomsmen along with me and
two of Jeff's friends from college.

Hi,
I thought you would find this story interesting, My name
is Shawn Robinson, my twin brother Dave and I graduated from Moon High
School in 1996! I am now a
Marine Corps Helicopter Pilot. I am currently stationed in Iraq with
HMH-466 WolfPack. When we first got here we
were relieving some Army units so they could go home. Anyway I was waiting in
Line to get "Chow" (which by the way chow here makes Moon High
School's cafeteria look like a five star restaurant)
so I'm in line to get chow and I feel this hand on my shoulder and guess who it
is! John PettyJohn! He is in the Army now! Any way I recognized him instantly
and he obviously recognized me. We graduated Moon High School together and I
haven't seen him since Jeff Halliday's Grad party! Who knew the next time I
would see him would be in IRAQ! Any way we talked for a while and reflected on
some of the old High School times. It was a great Morale Booster to see someone
from home! Well I hope you enjoyed this little story, tell every one I said Hi!
Semper Fi, Shawn

[burgh.girl@gmail.com]
Hi! I graduated with the Class of '88 and am hoping that we are still
having reunions occasionally. It would be so fun to see everyone and
reconnect with friends.
I'm currently living in Connecticut with my husband, Dan. We just got
married this year at the beach and then had a big casual reception in
Pittsburgh. I don't have any kids yet since I waited so flippin' long to get
married! :) Dan and I have been in CT for about 2-1/2 years now. Before
that I was still living in the 'Burgh working for an organization called
YouthWorks. I have a Master's in Child Development from Pitt, but in 2001 I
decided I wanted to do computer graphics instead, so I returned to school
and acquired a Digital Design diploma from the Art Institute of Pittsburgh.
I was working in NY in the Marketing Dept. at Kraft Foods Federal Credit
Union (now Quorum) for a while when we first moved to CT, but after we
bought a house, the commute became unbearable. So recently I've been doing
temp work while I look for another design job. I figure we'll start trying
to have a baby soon, so I haven't been very career-driven these days. :)
I don't know how many people visit this website, but I would love to hear
from anyone who's interested in catching up. And please let me know if/when
a reunion is being planned. Go Steelers!

married for 9 years and have two daughters, Zoe, who is almost 6, and Tessa,
who is 3 1/2. My husband David is a contractor. We live in a beautiful
place and have a five minute trip from our house to the base of three ski
mountains (Aspen Mountain, Aspen Highlands, and Buttermilk), and 15 minutes
to Snowmass ski area. Having kids (plus working pretty hard) has limited
the skiing a bit, but we usually get out for a few hours every winter
weekend, and Zoe and Tessa are both learning, sure to be faster than us in
no time. It's very expensive to live in Aspen and the lifestyle is a bit
surreal sometimes. I just came home from an evening walk with my daughter
and we had to hang out for a couple minutes until a bear that was standing
in the alley behind our house ran away. Sometimes we get the same scary
feeling when we see the ultra rich people who are here. (Ha, ha.) But
there is a great community in Aspen and we feel very lucky and don't expect
to leave for anywhere else. I stay in touch with Missy Stone (going to
visit her and her newborn baby in 3 weeks) and Eileen McGuire. My email is
amyg@ci.aspen.co.us.
Greetings all. Melissa (Missy) Stone
here. Hmmm, 19 years in 5 lines? Here goes.
After graduating in 1987 I went to Penn State for my Film Degree. Moved back
to Pittsburgh and worked at Fox 53 and WB 22 for about 8 years. Then moved
to New York for a year at ABC followed by 4 years at Oxygen. I've also done
some Entertainment Reporting and Commercial work. Don't be afraid if you're
in Wal Mart and see me talking to you on one of the in-store monitors. I now
live in Beverly Hills; happily married to a nice boy named Colin; work as
Vice President Marketing and Advertising at The Style Network; have a
beautiful baby girl named Phoebe and a furry daughter named Tosca. Life is
good.
I've dined with Miss Debby Kennedy here in
L.A. twice now. We opted for Nicoise Salad instead of Yellow Marshmallow
Peeps…but we did sing the Economics Song. Good times.

Hi, everyone!
My name is Eileen McGuire Chaput (echaput@geerwade.com),
and I graduated from Moon High in 1987. Anyway, just wanted to
send a quick update, since no one else from our class has any
"News" posted. I'm married now and have a wonderful, two
year old son, Ryan Christopher, and I'm expecting another boy in
August. (Good thing I was a tomboy, huh?!) My husband and I live
in Canton, Massachusetts, which is a suburb of Boston. We really
like it up here, but I do sometimes miss Pittsburgh. (It's
particularly hard during football season, when I have to choose
between the Steelers and the Patriots!) Anyway, after Moon, I went
on to Penn State for my bachelor's degree and then a few years
later got my MBA from Babson College up here in Massachusetts. I'm
now the Director of Marketing for Geerlings & Wade. We sell
wine and wine accessories through the mail and on the web. It's
definitely an interesting business! I still try to keep in touch
with a few people from Moon, but have lost touch with many! If
anyone is in the area, please feel free to look me up! Oh, my
brother, Matt McGuire - class of '86, is married with one son and
another on the way, too. He lives out in the San Francisco area.
Class

Hi, I'm Vida... there was only
one Vida in all of Moon, so if you knew a Vida, you knew me! Vida Burnelis
[avav9902@yahoo.com]
Married Alan back in 5/91, we have two beautiful children, a son
Andrius, age 7, and a daughter Vilija, almost 4. My son
Andrius is on the Pittsburgh Aviators Mites B hockey team!!
LET'S GO ANDRIUS, #34! :)
Vilija was
born with a cleft lip and palate, so it's been quite a challenge,
she's had 6 surgeries so far, isn't even 4 yet, and many more to go.
She's the most beautiful little princess! After
working for quite a few years as an optometric assistant, I became a
full time SAHM a few months after Andrius was born. I've
always wondered where my Moon buddies went... so many I'd love to
see again!
Hi!! This
is Laura Hunt (Tower) and I graduated in 1986. I was
wondering if anyone knew if a 20th
Reunion
was being planned for next year. I’d love to attend.
My husband, David, daughter, Sydney, and I live in
Ohio
, about 20 minutes west of downtown
Cleveland
. We still remain loyal Steelers fans and hold Sunday
football parties as often as we can. I attended
Clarion
University
after high school and received my BS degree in Education.
David and I married in 1994. I taught for many years until
my daughter was born in 2003. Now my job is a full time mom.
I wouldn’t trade it for the world. I would love to hear
from anyone. You can reach me at dwllske@yahoo.com
Hope to see a lot of you next year.
Hey,
everyone! You may remember me as Lori Fox (lfoxlem@aol.com),
Class of 86...the quiet one who never made waves.
I've changed a bit since then, LOL, and have managed to work my
way into the entertainment and sports business...After college, I
worked for Showtime Networks and MTV in NYC for five years before
meeting my hubby, NHL veteran- Alain Lemieux (you may know his
brother's name). I now am Vice President of his company, and
also work actively as a mom to two great kids....Cullen- 7 and
Kayli- 5. I experienced a lot
since high school - toured with U2 (as a guest of the band)
throughout Europe in 92; planned some huge parties for Showtime
and MTV with comedians and musicians; played a small roll in a
Hollywood movie, and am now working on a project (novel /
screenplay) that's testing my limits (and patience!). We'll
see what happens! I'd love to hear from all of you (if you
remember me?!) and see what you've been up to. Seems my
invitations to the reunions have gotten "lost in the
mail"!! LOL.
Elizabeth McGuire (elizabeth.mcguire@fedex.com):
I graduated from Kent State University with a degree in Photojournalism. I
now work in the Internal Audit department of FedEx (long and boring story of how
I went from photographs to audits!). I live in Oakdale, PA - all of 4 miles from
the house I grew up in.
Hello! Life has dealt me a pretty fair
hand since 1986. I attended Penn State and received a BS in Mineral
Economics with a Minor in Logistics. I have been in the distribution and
traffic field for my entire career and now work as the director of
distribution for a Pittsburgh retailer. I am married with two wonderful
boys, Grant 4 and Sam 2. I enjoyed following the football team these
past few years and I would love to hear from anyone in the 1986 class and
catch up.
My name is Kimberly Walsh (nnutz30@comcast.net)
and I graduated from Moon in 1986. After graduation I worked in a balloon shop
for a while and then attended Nursing School. I am a Registered nurse with 13
years Intensive Care experience. I still live in Moon at the same address with
my three children Rebekah 13, Nikole 12 and my son Magnus 5. In March 2003 I met
a wonderful Brit in Cancun. We both were attending the same wedding. When I
returned, I left my job, went to visit him for one month in London, England and
we will be married in October this year. He designs jewelry and will be setting
up his own business here in the USA.
Kimberly
Y. Donovan
(kimberlox@hotmail.com
) I
graduated in the class of 1986. My further education includes a
BS in Accounting from Penn State University
and a MS in Sustainable Systems (with emphasis
in sustainable building design and permaculture) from Slippery
Rock University. I live near McConnells Mill
Park in Western Pennsylvania, and I work
with an accounting firm in Butler. My partner Bruce and myself are
building a strawbale house on our property. We have a four year old son.
Christopher E. Cross
(CCROSS68@aol.com)
After High School, I chose to join the Air Force instead of college,
but that is OK. I started out in Target
Intelligence at Strategic Air Command and can you
believe they give 18 yr. olds Top Secret Clearances (Crazy Concept).
In 1990, I became an Air Traffic Controller in
NC and academically I started my post high
school formal education. I graduated with a Business Degree from Campbell University (Summa
Cum Laude) in North
Carolina in 1994. After my bachelors, I
continued on to get my Masters in Administration (concentration in Health Services). I also went on to get a couple
of Associates in Computers just to stay ahead
of the game. I have been married and had a beautiful
daughter (Allison Hunter) 1995. After Air Traffic Control, I really
wanted to understand finance and the market, so I became a Financial
Consultant (Stock Broker). What a great and
interesting career field. In 1998 I moved to
Omaha, Nebraska, where I am a regional director for the largest
railroad in the world. I did that to be closer to my daughter who now lives in SD.
Kelly (Mallin) Rance (krance@atlanticluggage.com)
... It was interesting reviewing this website to see what
people have been up to. I
remembered all of them, I wonder if they remember me.
I graduated in 1986 from Moon and took some years off to
explore and have fun before attending
Robert
Morris
College
. I currently work for
Atlantic Luggage as the Senior Forecasting Analyst.
I am married to a great guy and have four kids - Kady, 13 -
Destiny, 12 - Ray Jr, 11 and Kassidy 5.
We still live in Moon and now my kids have some of the
teachers I once had. Life
is pretty good these days.
Class
of 1985
Hi, this is Tom Teleha (tteleha@msn.com
ortteleha67@yahoo.com
). I would have
graduated from Moon in 1985, but we moved my senior year. I have
tried to keep in touch over the years with a few people who keep
me informed of what's going on. I am currently in the US Navy,
having enlisted in 1987 after a failed attempt at college. Spent
two years on submarines before finding a real job in the Navy
(serving chow, doing dishes and chipping paint wasn't my idea of
continued fun). Trained as a Hospital Corpsmen and went on
to advanced training in the field of Cardiovascular Medicine. I
worked in and managed the Cardiac Catheterization Laboratory at
the National Naval Medical Center in Bethesda, Maryland for 12
years (and yes, believe it or not I did meet the President, as
well as a lot of other big wigs). I served during Desert
Shield/Storm with 3d Battalion 7th Marines in Iraq and am
currently scheduled to deploy to Iraq sometime in September 2006
with 3d Battalion 4th Marines. I am married to Wendy Sullivan
from Ebensburg, PA (we met in the Navy) and we have 5 children.
Two from her previous marriage, one from my previous and two
together. I am currently stationed at Twentynine Palms Marine
Corps Base in Twentynine Palms, CA (about 40 miles from Palm
Springs in the Mojave Desert). To all those currently serving in
our Armed Forces, may you stay safe in whatever you are doing
and return home to your families and loved ones and Thank you
for serving as well!
Go NAVY, Beat ARMY!
Semper Fi! OOHRAH!

Leslie (Cross) Newsom (lpn4867@charter.net)
Well, I joined the USAF after graduating in 1985 but I didn't stay
too long. I did my four years and then I got out of active
duty. After getting out of the USAF I married my
husband, who was and still is in the USAF. So it
wasn't long before we headed to Japan, and then onto Hawaii, then
AZ, and now we are stationed in IL. We have 3 girls...an 18yo
(my step-daughter,) a 14yo, and a 12yo. I received my
Bachelor's Degree while in Hawaii and have worked for the Civil
Service system for most of my years after getting out of the
USAF. I am currently working for the DoD, Defense Security
Service, on the Industrial Security side of the house. I've
only been back to Moon maybe 3-4 times since I left (when I was
18) for the military, but I'm looking forward to the 20 year
reunion. I've wasn't able to make it back to any of the
other reunions so I'm really hoping this one will work out. (I
have a work-related class I have to attend from 18 Aug - 18 Sep
05...so whoever is planning this one don't plan it during this
timeframe!!!) ; )
Class of
1984
This is Marci Banks Schurr (msure6@yahoo.com)

this site and also at www.classmates.com
and contact me to get me your updated info! On a personal note, Butch
(class of 1982) and I will celebrate our 15th wedding anniversary
this year. We have four great kids- Wil (10), Tori (7), Jake (3),
and Katy (23 mo.). After having lived in New Orleans, LA; Corpus
Christi, TX; Cumberland, MD and various parts of PA, and having
shared many adventures along the way, we have finally settled down
the road from Moon in Center Twp. PA. We are well, happy and
blessed... there's not too much more to need other than that! I
look forward to hearing from ya'll and seeing you soon at our
reunion!

I wanted to let everyone know about my breast cancer diagnosis last October
and how I underwent a complete double mastectomy and now I'm not doing very
well. The original physician messed things up pretty bad and I have to have
more surgery this December. I don't care who has my address or phone number
so here it is.

at Vanderbilt University Hospital and I have the head of Oncologh and the

[computerbob@getmeupandrunning.com]
( known as Pitter in school ) I am a member of the
Moon Class of ’77. It is amazing to say that we are
planning our 30 year reunion for this November 24th.
I have done many things since graduation but have never
attended college. I have done fairly well for myself
despite no additional formal education. I own and operate
Up & Running Computer Services, Inc – and have done so for
the past 17 years, have been active with the Airport Area
Chamber of Commerce for the past 14 years ( everybody knows
me as ComputerBob ), have two step daughters and am quite
happy with wife number two ( 10 years now with Kathy ). I
enjoy scuba diving and flying power and stunt kites any time
I can get a little time to myself. We have 5 dogs and a
cat, live in downtown Beaver, PA and we feel truly
emancipated since our 18 year old was moved out in early
July. Best of luck to all of the graduates from Moon – We
hope to see as many of the Class of ’77 at the reunion as
possible.

My name is Robert
G. Clark aka, "Joe Bunda" why I had that nickname in
school I have no idea. I was supposed to graduate in 1976 but my
family moved away in 1975 to Texas. I have been here every since. I
really missed Moon for the longest. I remember playing football
there with, Mike Bedick, Doug Cheek, Mark Chermer, and a whole lot
of other guys which I'm embarrassed to say I can't remember there
names, but remember there faces. As I recall we really kicked butt!!
I always thought Mike would go pro although I never saw him in the
show. I own a photography studio, check out our website at www.mcgrawclark.com
I am married with two boys Chris is 17 and was a starting QB on

Donna Killip Trickett I
had taught fourth grade at Pleasant View Elementary in Moon Twp.

Class of 1975
Tracey Ranze - Hello Moon
friends. I still travel back to Moon two - three times a year
to visit with my family. I have settled in the Upper Delaware
River community, moving to the region after I graduated in 1981
from Kutztown University. During the first 18 years, my
husband, Mike and I lived, worked, played and had four sons,
Cole, Leif, Sage and Skye while living in rural Sullivan County,
NY. In 1999, we bought our second farm-house on a mountain top,
in Milanville, PA, in the Upper Delaware River Corridor, also a
National Park. I was fortunate to be able to stay home
and raise my sons and later resurmed my career as a Teacher of
the Visually Impaired, when my youngest son, Skye,
entered school. Now, I teach 18 students, ages 3-21, in
Susquehanna Co., Pa. in 5 school districts, with an average
daily commute of 165 miles. My spouse, Mike runs printing
presses as a free-lance press operator and is the proprietor,
artist and screen-printer of Ranze Design, ArtWear. I am a
member of 2 writer's groups who publish and perform
poetry together. Over the years, I have acted in community
theatre perfomances. My most recent stage appearance was in
March 2008, where I was part of a female ensemble that performed
'The Vagina Monologues' as a benefit for Planned Parenthood's
R.I.S.E. The Delaware River is our favorite playground during
the warm weather and the best beach is Skinner's Falls, one mile
from where we live. We are blessed to live with an extended
community of friends, in the mountains of northeast Pa. The
e-mail I use is
tegranze@yahoo.com. I check
it a couple times a month.
Michealle Frey

I worked at Dravo for a while after graduation and then
moved to Dallas Texas in '82. Before leaving I married John Silvio
from Oakland, Pittsburgh.
Amazingly enough we are still
married and currently scoping out places to live when we move home
in 2009. No kids for us, but lots of great Nieces and a Nephew.
And just this year, a grandnephew, who will be old enough to spoil
by the time I move home! Yes! Another generation of children to
annoy my siblings through.
I am still causing trouble, but
now at the bequest of my municipal co-workers. ( http://www.cityofdallasemployees.com/
) When I am not doing this, I am playing on my computer, editing,
writing or reading. I would be glad to hear from any of my
classmates ( frey@thefrey.com)
and look forward to re-connecting with the ones still in the area
when I retire.

Hello! Leslie Lesondak Hoy would love
to hear from anyone else who enjoyed band and chorus. Yes, I went on to study
music, no, never made a living at it but had a heck of a good time. I have
been self-employed for several years doing proofreading and editing out of my
home in Harrisburg, and I am currently taking classes towards certification as
a medical transcriptionist. Unfortunately I got out of music for many years,
but after my divorce three years ago have bought another saxophone and gotten
inspired again. Does anyone know whether there are any plans for a 30th
reunion in two years? If you'd care to write, my e-mail address is 2doglady@verizon.net.
My name is Richard
S. Roda and I went to school and graduated from Moon in 1974. After many
years of "self" direction I gave my life to Jesus on Aug 19th 1985.
I married my Christian wife in 1989 and have one adopted son who is now 18
(Nov 8th 2003). Being a biker for years in the secular realm, I naturally
chose to now serve God in the same capacity. I have been Chaplain for a
chapter of the Christian Motorcyclists Association called the "Southern
Servants" for over two years. I owned and operated a landscape
maintenance service in Naples Florida (where I currently live) for almost
twenty years. I now drive a school bus (ten years) and enjoy getting out into
the highways and byways to minister the love of God on my Harley.
