Comment: As soon as I graduated from Crouse Irving Memorial Nursing School in 1979 I completed arrangements and moved to Los Angeles. My first job was in the NICU at Cedars Sinai Medical Center. I later completed both a Bachelors and Masters degree in Nursing. I had a wonderful career as a nurse in Maternal Child Health, retiring in early 2023.

We lived in Southern California until 2006 when we relocated to Kalama, Washington 40 miles north of Portland, OR. I love to travel, read, sew, knit, garden and study family history. Retirment gives me lots of time for all of these! My favorite place to hang out is Hawaii.

Occupation: Retired. Now a flower farmer.
Comment: I’ve lived most of my life since high school in the Cazenovia area, with the exception of 4 years in Chapel Hill, NC. I currently live in Erieville. I have four remarkable adult daughters and four equally remarkable step children (3 stepsons, one step daughter). If you ask me about them be prepared for me to go on and on.

Almost 14 years ago I met my also remarkable partner Keli. I am unable to convey how truly blessed I am that I did. Together we have seven grandchildren with two more on the way. One in May and another in August.

I’ve had several different careers/occupations: newspaper advertising, middle school social studies teacher, realtor, and EMT, eventually retiring from Verizon Wireless. I also had the blessing of being a full time stay-at-home parent for my four daughters.

Now in my retirement I operate Withy Hollow Flower Farm along with Keli and her son Jake.

I'm also happy to say that I still play pickup ice hockey at least once a week. I am currently the 2nd oldest participant in the annual Cazenovia High School Alumni Hockey game, with only Mark Costello, Class of ‘73 being my elder.
Two Truths and a Lie - Tell us three things you've done since graduation ... but ONE of which is a LIE! At our dinner party your old friends and classmates will have fun guessing which one is the lie: Okay…I’ve never been in any television commercials, much less one for breath mints. I did have dinner with Mike Eruzione and his wife at a Duke

Children’s Hospital fund raiser. Two of my hockey playing daughters were with me, and just recently one of them, Julia, met him a second time in Lake Placid NY. Julia was also able to include me in a bowling event at The White House due to her position at The US Department of Education. My first ball was a strike but my game quickly went down hill from there.



1) I once had dinner with Mike Eruzione who scored the game winner in “The Miracle on Ice” against the Soviet Union as captain of the 1980 US men’s hockey team.



2) I once bowled at the Harry Truman Bowling Alley at the White House, and my first ball was a strike.



3) I once appeared in a television commercial for breath mints.

Comment: Even though I only had the pleasure of attending Cazenovia High School Class of 1974, for one year, you all made it a very pleasant and a most memorable experience!!!



I am unable to attend our 50th Class Reunion, however, I am sending you my sincerest wishes for a wonderful time and I will be thinking of you and sending you all my love for more wonderful memories to be cherished by all of the Cazenovia Class of 1974!!! Looking forward to hearing all about the "Good Times"...



I have been exceptionally blessed with the most loving, empathetic and compassionate family and the most kind and thoughtful friends and classmates throughout the years! I have been very blessed with two very successful children and five grandchildren! All of them are bi-lingual and call every day with news of their adventures... My son is a very successful Software Engineer for a globally owned enterprise. Among his many responsibilities, he also takes the initiative for training new employees on how to be leaders in their field.



My daughter is a Vice President of a privately owned bank based in Cambridge, MA. To entice her to join their financial institution they actually created a position for her as their "Director of Acquisitions and Training",



Even though I am a retired teacher and bank official, I continue to enjoy my company, Cape Cod Feng Shui, Est. 1998. As a "Feng Shui Lifestyle Coach", it gives me a great deal of pleasure assisting others with Feng Shui consultations in everyday life and the "Eight Aspirations" of Health, Wealth, Love & Romance, Recognition, Family, Education, Mentors and Career.



I wish you all Excellent Health, Wealth and Prosperity!!!



Sincerely,

Celeste
