I hope everyone is doing well. What a real world it is out there after one leaves college. I was and still am sad whenever I drive past the former Notre Dame College Campus and think about all of the wonderful people I met and of all the lessons I had learned. I remember Brian Newbury and his love for Guitar. I remember Dean Beaman who loved Alice Cooper. I remember Steve Imbimbo and his MR2 and the time he brought me to White Hen for a midnight snack run. I remember Ron Stonis and how he always had nice things to say about everyone and always would give a smile even on days he was not at his best. I remember Mark Dalimonte and his portable bar. Although we were all under 21, we still found use for it. I remember Jen Belevance and her winning smile and who could forget Michelle Dumaro and those beautiful eyes. I remember Phil Gerrard and his wonderful wife Sherry who always looked so beautiful together, just like a royal couple of Notre Dame. I remember Lisa Herzberg and all that she taught me about life and whats important. I remember Debbie Langalier who was still to this day the happiest person I have ever met, She could see the good in everything God created. I Jeff Hutton and his black cavalier Z24. Geoff was an example of how hard people can work. Time after time, Geoff would come home from class and have only 15 minutes to change and get to Christophers or The Highlander or wherever he was working. He was honest, dedicated and a great friend. The biggest memories I have of Notre Dame are those sad ones I brought on myself. I was not ready for college and surely demonstrated what I would consider to be the most irratic, imature and poor behavior that Notre Dame had seen. To this day I carry that with me and have tremendous guilt for those whom I befriended and those whom I did wrong. I was one of this unlucky ones to have lost Jeff Santos as a dear friend. After that all happend my life spun out of control and I didnt know where to turn for advise, guidance and leadership. Although I take full responsibility for my actions (as unexcusable as they were), I have made every attempt to do right in my current life. I am now settled down on the coast of southern Maine with my wife and two year old daughter Holly Catherine Marie. I use my past behavior and experiences as an example to my daughter as what NOT to do. I teach her to be honest, respectful and open to other peoples needs. I teach her to be a listener and to be straight forward and as good a citizen as I can. Although I am not using my current degree in my vocation, I got the best thing out of Notre Dame and that is how to be a better, honest, kinder person. Thank you Notre Dame. So wit that said, I am sorry to Lisa Herzberg, Denise Doyle, Jeff Hutton, Eric Delisle, Jeff Santoe (May he rest in peace), Steve Imbimbo, Jody Bucko, Debbie Shaw, Sr. J Plant (May she rest in peace), Sr. Pauline Lucier, Alicia Finn, Dr. Robert Michael, Kevin Flynn, Robert Lee, and especially Sr. Francis Lessard who made every attempt to right a train that just could not stay on the right track. My sincere and deepest apologize to all of you listed above. In one way or another, I wronged you and you know why, I am sorry and I hope you can forgive me. As for me, since I received my degree, I have moved back from Phoenix AZ. I worked in bangor helping my friend Mike establish a new FM radio station. Mission accomplished, the station is number 3 out of a market of 22. I than move to Portland Maine to work at Coast 93.1 and than (like most announcers) move to cross town rival WBLM. I lasted there for only one year. I than went back to school to tackle life again. I entered the field of insurance. But, not selling it. I actually get to work with state coroners offices and Medical Examiners, Police Departments and Lawyers. No I am not a CSI person, I am not that organized! I actually work in our claims unit. My job is to review the claims and make a liability determination as to wheather we are paying the claim or not. They call it an "Analyst". I do enjoy my job and those whom I work with. I do get to travel to the south and west, I love that. I recently built a brand new home in Biddeford Maine. I am right off the exit 32. I love my house and it took me many years to walk tall, work hard and achieve. I actually work in our offices in Portsmouth NH and Wellesley MA. *Gas is killing me!! Anyhow, I truly hope you are all doing well and that health and happiness is around each and everyone of you. God Bless. You are more than welcome to email me if you choose. WWBX1@hotmail.com.

Hello everyone! I just happened to be surfing the web for info on Notre Dame College and came across this site so I thought I'd join and write a quick post. I haven't been up to Manchester for a while but the last time I was in the area I drove by the school and was shocked to find pretty much everything gone. I must say that it's pretty sad to think that the college itself is gone but to have a community such as this where former students and faculty can meet is a great idea.
I am happily married and living in Worcester, MA and I turned 30 this past February. I swear I can still remember my first trip to Notre Dame back in the late summer of 1996! So many good memories...and like life, so many things I wish I could go back and do differently. It looks like I just missed the reunion (today) so I'll have to make it next year. Take care everyone! Phil (Pappy)

I attended Notre Dame College as a music/english major
in 1976, then transferred to UNH, but I will never forget
the beginnings of my education there. I wish I could
remember my English professor's name - she was excellent!
I also remember Professor Blood, but have forgotten
the sister's name who taught piano. I now work at a
hospital in geropsychiatry, where I enjoy playing the
piano and reading to patients. I am also a published
author, having written "Codependent Living"
and "Rod Is Back." My next projects include
a book of poetry, my father's memoirs, and "My
Jewish Friend." Hope you can read them sometime.
Blessings to all, Kathy Ott McHugh
