For 2008

I'm sad to report that this evening around 8:00 PM Bob Sweeney '74 was taken off of life support and passed shortly after. Either Friday or Saturday a service will be held for Bob back here in Illinois. Bob grew up in the Cambridge subdivision in Buffalo Grove and lived on Cambridge Dr.

My twin daughters Julie and Diana (24 yr. old) qualified to compete at the Olympic track and field trials in Eugene, Oregon this last week.  Their event is the Heptathlon (seven events) 100 meter hurdles, high jump, shot put, 200 meter, long jump, javelin and 1500 meter.  Diana placed third (top three go) in the hep and is going to Beijing !! 
03/28/2008 News from Nancy Hogan
I first looked at this website today, better late than never.  I noticed no one has been able to keep up with me because you have me listed living in my ex-husbands condo.  Hope his girlfriend doesn't mind.  :)  And with my second husbands last name.  Oh well. I've gone around the block with last names and have arrived back at Hogan again and yes the math adds up to 2 divorces. Never would have thought.  So moving on, I currently live in Saint Charles, IL, work for Abbott Laboratories as a safety nurse for tube feeding devices, have a married son who is 27 and a beautiful unmarried daughter who I wish would get married.  Hard to believe it's been so long since 1974, seems like yesterday.
01/14/2008 Sad news to pass along. Debbie Scanlon Milrarski has passed away:

 

  Debbie R. Milarski A celebration of the life of Debbie R. Milarski (nee Scanlon), will be held at 10:30 a.m. Monday, Jan. 21, at St. Joseph the Worker Church, 181 W. Dundee Road, Wheeling. Heaven received another angel Jan. 14, 2008. Debbie was born March 30, 1956, to Ted and Grace Scanlon. She attended Wheeling High School, where she met her soul mate and love of her life, Wayne R. Milarski. They shared 28 years together. Her pride and joy are her three children, Derek, Jamie and Jennifer. Residing in Vernon Hills, Debbie loved to contribute to the community in a variety of ways. She was active at Libertyville High School, raising funds for the stadium lights where her son Derek played for the Wildcats. She was active at Vernon Hills High School, where her daughter Jamie was a gymnast and daughter Jenni played water polo. For several years she was the entertainment director for the Vernon Hills annual Summer Celebration. Having a love for Christmas, Debbie, along with her family, would sponsor a family for the holidays. Her love was sports in every way, shape, and form. She lived for her Chicago Cubbies and loved to attend the sports events of her nieces and nephews. Debbie wanted nothing for herself in life except for the happiness of others. She is survived by her husband, Wayne; children, Derek, Jamie and Jennifer; father, Ted C. Scanlon of Wheeling; sisters, Sally Kowal of Arlington Heights, Penny (Jim) Swift of Elk Grove Village and Regina (Rick) Weber of Barrington; brothers, David (Oliva) Scanlon and Paul (Sherry) Scanlon, both of Wheeling; and sister-in-law, Nancy (Ron) Sullivan of Crystal Lake. Debbie entered her new life in the loving embrace of her mother, Grace. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to your favorite charity in Debbie's honor.
