Email Address: stewartjj@y12.doe.gov
Comments: As an alumnus of Albion High I have this to say, there are much worse places to live than Albion, NY. I know, since I have moved 15 times in my career, all but two of the moves with the same company! Western NewYork is a case of "you don't know what you have till it is gone". It is close to a lot of great things and a wonderful place to grow up! There is more culture within 100 miles of Albion than in all of some states that I have lived. After seeing what is passed off for an education in some states I thank my lucky stars I did receive a very good education in Albion. So, don't complain, enjoy it! Would love to hear from some of the class of "73".

Comments: Hi to all my old and dear friends. A lot has happened to me, as with everyone since I left good old Albion to move to NC in 1985. I just received my third degree - Masters of Science in Administration. I guess you could say I am a career student! Since posting my email address here, I have heard from several of my old classmates. I look forward to hearing from more of you! Hope to see or hear from you soon!

Comment: Although it is doubtful that I shall ever have the opportunity to return to Albion again, I have enjoyed communicating with so many of my old classmates. I hope I can hear from even more of you. My husband of 23 years (and my high school sweetheart) was called "home" back in September of 1998. He was a career Navy man and together we had three wonderful children (Douglas-26, James-25, Mary-21). Our first grandhild, Jessica, was born on our 23rd wedding anniversary which was August 10, 1998. Doug died September 3, 1998. His grandson, James Christopher Pike, was born on November 3, 1999, and another grandson was born on September 2, 2002, Zavier Isaiah Pike.
I am a published writer (primarily poetry genre), work actively for the rights of children and AIDS patients and their families, while pursuing my third degree, this one in Information Systems. I now reside in Mesa, Arizona, where I think I have finally found a home. I hope to hear from all of you and find out where everyone's lives have taken them.

Katie, my daughter, attends Daemen College in Buffalo pursuing a 6 year doctorate program in Physical Therapy with modeling and doing commercials on the side. Katie also has a dream to become an inspirational speaker for young adults to follow their dreams. My advice for the future to my children has always been to "Reach for the Stars" and "Be the best you can be." I would enjoy hearing news from my classmates.
