Good news, Patty Cicerchia is no longer on the missing list! She turned herself in today! She also included these comments to catch up on the last 45 years...

Brief overview of 45 years -Was married for 30 years - widowed in 2001 - husband's name John Paul Stocke, from Duluth MN. 3 children - Kristin Patricia Stocke - born in 1973, Erik John Stocke - born in 1975, Charlotte Ruth Stocke - born in 1984. Lived in and around NW suburbs our whole married life, mainly in Schaumburg. Sold the family home before the market crashed, and bought a condo so I don't need to cut grass, shovel snow, trim trees, fix the roof, etc. Been at TheMIGroup, an Global Relocation Company for over 20 years. I am the Director, Client Services and Administration of our Chicago office, located in Buffalo Grove, IL. I have 2 parakeets - Keeter and Tweetie. My son Erik is just moving in with me - after being in the Navy 5 years, out almost 3, he has not found a job yet. So I have Erik and his dog Mickey, an English Hound dog, as new roommates. Like all of us, life has its ups and downs, good times and bad. I am a born-again Christian, and that has been the saving Grace in my life, to deal with all that happens and make some sense of it all.

I just found out that Christopher Burgess ’66 passed away a few years ago. He had been living in FL. I was unable to locate an obituary for him in the Daily Herald. Chris had a younger sister Frances Burgess ’68 and several other younger siblings that attended Hersey High School. I received this feedback from Chris’s younger brother Sean…

"My brother Christopher passed away 3 years ago this coming October. He was living in Lake Panasoffkee, Florida. He was an avid fisherman. Chris was a world traveler, having circumnavigated the globe twice by the age of 24. He had lived for many years in St. Thomas and St. Croix in the USVI."

Chris didn’t have a senior picture.

Rest in Peace Chris.
