CLASSMATE OF THE MONTH DECEMBER 2024
Nancy Olson Schlosser
Hello MHS Class of 1972. I was so excited to see the website for our Class of 72.
Mark is doing a great job getting the media out to our Classmates.
I still live in Monroe and worked as a teacher of PE, technology, and coached swimming & synchronized swimming until retirement.
My home school was Custer Elementary, and I remember working on homecoming floats at the Wilkins home located in the middle of the Custer 1 & 2 campus.
I now work at the MPS Administration Building in the Community Ed Department part time.
I try to get together with former classmates when I can. I had a chance to visit with Linda Sievert McElroy, Lee Rappaport, Bruce Bezeau, Claudia Merkle Balcer and Dawn Neidermier.
I enjoy getting together with Karen Goins Hainen, Connie Carmen Burtchfield, Chris Kurtz McElvany and Gretchen Kraus Denunzio when we can.
Just wanted to share some pictures in case you wondered where they are now.
My passion is spending time singing with Sweet Adelines International. I joined this group 45 years ago and have had the good fortune of competing internationally and placing 4th and 5th in the world several times. I sing with my mom and sister and here you can see how excited we were to earn a medal. We sing in Columbus, Oh have competed in Las Vegas, Salt Lake City, Calgary, Portland, Houston and New Orleans. I enjoy the traveling and the competition.
My family is so special to me. My sons Kurt and Kyle and husband Kevin are my world! We enjoy our 2 grand children too! Charlie and Teddy are Kyle and Hailey’s boys and are the best.
We get to visit with them as much as we can and enjoy every minute of being Nanna and Gramps!
Well, just wanted to thank Mark for the opportunity to share a little of my life with you all.
Please have a safe and Happy Holiday.
MERRY CHRISTMAS and Best Wishes from Nancy & Kevin Schlosser
