Georgios P. Minos

Upon graduation from OHS I moved back to NYC for about a year before joining the Navy in the spring of '86. Towards the end of my four years I met my wife Jacqueline. A year later in spring of '91 we got married and enlisted in the Coast Guard. I took couple of courses at the Culinary Institute of America in Hyde Park, N.Y. and Bunker Hill Community Collage in Massachusetts in the spring of '98 and September 2002 respectively. We have three beautiful girls ages 14,11 & 8 and are living happily in San Ramon, where I'm currently stationed and working on Coast Guard Cutter Boutwell as the Food Service Officer out of Alameda, California.

Amy M. Squicciarini

Amy M. Squicciarini Highland Falls, NY

On Saturday, December 8, 2007 our loving and courageous daughter, sister, aunt and friend, Amy Marie, of Highland Falls, went to join her father after a miraculous life of 40 years.

Amy was predeceased by her father, Frank Squicciarini, and is survived by her loving and devoted mother, June, at home; her brothers and sisters, Nick & Kate Squicciarini of Highland Falls, Frank & Donna Squicciarini of Wurtsboro, Tony & Rachelle Squicciarini of Fort Montgomery, Lee Ann & Jim Ranieri of Highland Falls and Susan & Jim Hoffman of Fredericksburg, Va.; as well as many nieces and nephews; in addition to several great-nieces and nephews.

Amy's 40 years of life were enriched by her faith for God and her love for family, children and community service. Her dedication was demonstrated by her association with Time for Tots, The Nursery School of the Highlands and substitute teaching in the Highland Falls Central School District. Amy was a proud member of the Garden Club and VISION of the Town of Highlands.

One of her favorite commitments was being one of the initial contributing members of the not-for-profit organization "Do-Something". She was an active and faithful member of the Sacred Heart Parish, a committeewoman for the Democratic Party of the Town of Highlands, as well as many local, state and national political events. Amy was presented with an honorary Brick Award from Do-Something for her service to the organization by President Bill Clinton in 2005. Amy was also the recipient of the Evelyn Drew Distinguished Service Award from the Town of Highlands Democratic Committee in 2005.

This past summer, Amy celebrated the milestone of her 40th birthday with all of her family and friends, which were of the utmost importance to her in the final years of her life.

Amy's life was a true testament to the phrase, "It takes a village to raise a child." Amy's love and commitment to her community were reflected in the love and generosity that she received in return.

Amy's faith, courage, strength and perseverance inspired all who knew her to live and appreciate each day to the fullest.

Friends may call on Wednesday, December 12 from 2-4 and 7-9 p.m. at William F. Hogan Funeral Home, 135 Main Street, Highland Falls. A Mass of Christian Burial will be on Thursday, December 13 at 10 a.m. at Sacred Heart Church, 353 Main Street, Highland Falls, with the Rev. Jack Arlotta officiating. Interment will follow at Eagle Valley Cemetery in Town of Highlands.

In lieu of flowers, Amy has requested contributions may be made to The Kaplan Family Hospice Residence, 800 Stony Brook Court, Newburgh, NY 12550 or St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, 501 St. Jude Place, Memphis, TN 38105-1942.

Barb Freson

Hey everybody! I guess it's time that I added my bio. Now I can finally rid myself of the guilt I have been feeling since Sue put so much time and effort into our reunion and this site. OK, let's see...What have I been up to since JIO??? I turned 40 this past September and it felt sooo good! I feel like the older I get the wiser I get and I love it...I have never been married, and have no children but I do have a dog and he's like my son. I have been to college quite a few times and have been working as a Respiratory Therapist, and a Paramedic for the last 14 years. I worked as Director of Lung Transplant at Columbia in Manhattan but found that I like hands on patient care much better than paperwork. I also taught for both programs at Rockland Community College for many years and now I'm taking a break from that tool I traveled to Africa in 1998 for almost a month. I was there with 5 other medics teaching. It was quite an adventure to live in the bush with the natives. Not sure I would do it again but I am a different person and I'm grateful for the experience. Soon after I came home from Africa there was the Ice Storm in Canada which I volunteered for to go and help. I was there for a week freezing my tail off and hanging out with the National Guardsmen in a Fire House. I got to drive a Hummer which was pretty cool too! Spent time at Ground Zero, needless to say that was an experience never to be forgotten.

So, I live in the area that we all (most of us) grew up in and I love the Hudson Valley. Liz and I are still best friends and see each other often. I had a great time at the reunion and look forward to the next one if Sue is willing to do it all over again...........Barb

Tami Hutchings (Bazil)

After graduating from Stanford University in 1989 with a degree in Human Biology, I remained in California for the next four years. I started a career in pharmaceutical sales with Bristol-Myers Squibb and remained with them for seven years.

As fate would have it, I met my future husband (Warren) in San Francisco while at a medical convention. He, however, was from Georgia. In 1993, I transferred with BMS to Atlanta, GA. Shortly after that, Warren and I married and I moved to Macon, GA where I now reside with my husband and nearly eleven year old twins (Weldon and Sydney).

Warren left his private practice as a family physician slightly more than a year ago. He has been working as the Medical Director of the Student Health Center for Mercer University School of Medicine and recently became a member of their faculty.

I continue to work in the pharmaceutical industry. After seven years with BMS, I went to work for Bayer Corporation. In 2002, I took a position with Novartis Pharmaceuticals and have been employed with them ever since. I have been working for the past three years as an Oncology Sales Specialist.

I was fortunate enough to see and reconnect with many of you at last year’s reunion. For those I did not have the opportunity to see, I hope that you are doing well and that our paths will cross again soon.

Carrie Collins

Hello Classmates! I bring you Greetings from Atlanta, Georgia!

I was so disappointed that I missed the Reunion but I was in the middle of relocation. I know a great time was had by all.

Let’s see how quickly I can bring you up to speed…..Sometimes I say the events of my life are the complete opposite of most. I had a daughter, Stacy, during my first year of College (’86). I then finished school and got my degree in Broadcast Journalism from the University of Kansas. Oh, by the way----I was even a cheerleader for the Jayhawk Football Team. Just couldn’t let go of the Cheerleader thing for a while. After graduation I worked for an NBC affiliate in Kansas City. Thinking I was going to be the next Oprah or Katie Couric; I moved back to NY to “land it big”…..well that didn’t happen so I joined Corporate America in the area of Human Resources & Training. I was recruited to join an Organization in Atlanta in 1997 and I’ve been here ever since (with the exception of a one year assignment in NYC in 2005). I am presently the Director of Human Resources & Training for Westin Hotel. I love the industry and the hotel benefits are wonderful!

My daughter is now 21----with a daughter----so that makes me a grandmother. Yes--grandmother. Three years ago I couldn’t believe it. Now that little girl is one of the joys of my life. Life overall, has been very rewarding for me. My pastime is Bowling. For a while I seriously considered going Pro. I literally travel the country bowling in various tournaments.

Not married---never have been. However, I’ve been with my boyfriend for 9 years now; so I feel married. Our home is in Roswell (northern suburb of Atlanta).

I would absolutely love to re-connect with so many of you! Please keep in touch.

God’s speed to You & Your Family-

Vera Ellen Olvey Costello (1966-2003)

Vera Ellen Olvey Costello died on December 11 after a heroic, year-long battle with lung cancer. She was a non-smoker, the picture of health and physical fitness.She was born Vera Ellen Olvey in Boston on December 29, 1966. Her parents returned to West Point the following year for service on the USMA faculty, and it was there she grew up, with her sister Elisa, and her three brothers Patrick, John, and Anthony -- all very close to each other in age, and very close in spirit.After graduation from James I O’Neill High School she attended college at Pennsylvania State University and then Georgia Southern University, where she received her baccalaureate degree in 1989. She also attended Escola Americana during a year abroad in Brazil.In 1990 Vera was married to Neil Francis Costello, a native of Holyoke, Massachusetts and a USMA graduate of the Class of 1986.The defining qualities of Vera were her family and her friends. Her interests and hobbies were many, from art to decorating her home to supporting church and community activities to physical fitness, which she was passionate about. And her fitness sustained her through a long, courageous battle. However Vera’s life work, her consuming passion was her family. Vera and Neil’s marriage was blessed with three children -- John Francis, born in 1993; Christopher William, born in 1996, and Peter James, born in 1998. Vera created a joyful, supportive environment for these remarkable boys and no stone was left unturned in insuring their lives were full of fun, challenge and opportunities for development in every way.The other defining aspect of Vera’s life has been her friends. Vera attracted close and loyal friendships throughout her life. From early childhood on those friendships have all endured and those friends have all rallied in her support during the year past. She derived great comfort from those visits and calls, although it often seemed she was the strong one and the inspiration, giving comfort more than receiving it. That was Vera, and that is how she will be remembered.Vera is survived by her husband, Neil Francis Costello; her three sons John Francis, Christopher William, and Peter James; her parents Lee Donne and Mary Kathleen Olvey, her sister Elisa Penha Smalley, and her three brothers Patrick Lee Olvey, John Taylor Olvey, and Anthony Lawing Olvey.A mass will be celebrated in Incarnation Church, 55 Williamsburg Lane in Centerville on 18 December at 4:00 p.m.The funeral mass will be held at Most Holy Trinity Chapel, West Point NY at 1000 hours on December 18, followed by a graveside burial service in the West Point Cemetery.

Carlos Soto

After high school I did a few semesters at OC Community College – and then decided to join the Army reserves, which I was in for 8 years. In 1990 I married the love of my life and best friend, Liz, and we moved down to Florida. I have been here working in the restaurant/pizza business ever since. On January 22, 1993 we were blessed with the birth of our son, CJ. He is a smart, energetic and caring kid and each day I am amazed and thankful for the gift that is my son. For the last seven years, my wife and I have owned and managed a pizzeria in St. Petersburg. In fact, the reason I cannot attend the reunion, is because my business is in the middle of a major renovation, so I am tied to the project right now. Sorry I cannot join you - have fun.

Sue Franck

After high school. I went to West Point prep - then to SUNY Cortland and then got my Masters at George Mason University in Virginia. At GMU I met my partner - Lisa. We have been together for 16 years and moved to Davis, CA 14 years ago. (As a side note, Lisa Chang/Siegler also lives in Davis). My partner and I both work in higher education at the University of California, Davis. Prior to having kids, Lisa and I enjoyed lots of traveling (France, Norway, England, Spain, and Italy). Now, we have 3 amazing boys and traveling has changed a bit. It seems like an accomplishment to say we have managed trips to Hawaii and Disneyland with kids in tow! Noah turned 10 years old on November 22, 2007 and he has 3 year old twin brothers, Michael an Eli. When I look at my life - I know that I am certainly very lucky.

David Wheeler

After graduating from O’Neill, I went to college at the University of Vermont. Following graduation from “groovy UV,” I bar tended on Catalina Island (off the coast of Los Angeles) for two summers and at a ski resort in Vermont during the intervening winter. Following my second summer on Catalina, I went to work for an accounting firm in Chicago and passed the CPA examination. I then went to law school (graduating in 1996) and worked for Arthur Andersen and Taft, Stettinius & Hollister (a large Cincinnati-based law firm) doing transactional tax and mergers and acquisitions. In 1999 I joined Eric Rennagel in founding Tivix, a “dot com” that provided online services to television and movie distribution companies. In early 2000, we raised venture capital from Silicon Valley and set up our executive offices in Beverly Hills (at the insistence of our investors – what a time!). In mid-2001, I left Tivix to join another “dot com” that ended in a spectacular train wreck. After playing in the world of “dot coms,” I went back to practicing law – this time with Squire, Sanders & Dempsey, a large international law firm – doing mergers and acquisitions. Now, I spend 85% of my time buying and selling companies, mostly in the U.S.

My wife, Jennifer, and I were married in 1997, and we currently live in Cincinnati. Our oldest, Nicholas, is going into second grade and is loving baseball, football and hockey. Our youngest, Michael, is going into kindergarten and is learning t-ball and hockey. Jennifer is in the wine industry; she is a wine consultant for a boutique distributor and sells wine to stores and restaurants. Her job is certainly more fun than mine, and the perks include meeting the owners of the vineyards when we visit Napa or Sonoma.

Sharon Savely-Lantzky

I graduated from Augustana College in Rock Island, Illinois with a degree in Elementary Education. I have worked in the Moline School District since 1989. I taught 4th through 6th grade for many years, served as an Elementary principal and am currently Dean of Students at Moline High School. I now suspend kids for a lot of things we did but never got caught. I earned a Masters degree from Western Illinois University. I married Jim Lantzky in 1994 and have two handsome sons, Mitchell is almost 9 and going into third grade, Joey is 6 and will start first grade in the fall. Jim works for John Deere construction in cost management. We also have a 2 year old yellow lab named Clancy that lives to swim in our pool and get scratched on the belly. We are currently working on an international adoption. I hope that next summer we will travel to China to bring home a baby girl. Sorry we can’t attend, the adoption is sapping most of resources right now.

Kevin Jumper

I went to college at the University of Florida for a couple years & then finished up at Worcester Polytechnic Institute in MA with a Mechanical/Aero Engineering Degree. I then headed back to sunny Florida & have worked at the Kennedy Space Center on the Space Shuttle program ever since. I’m currently working for Boeing as a Ground Support Equipment Design Engineer and really love my work. I got married about 6 years ago to my wife Tricia – no kids, just a puppy.

Hope you guys have a blast at the reunion. If my plans change, I’ll try to meet up with everyone in July. Please let me know what the final plans are in case I can make it. Take care -

Nancy Snowdy (Duffy)

I have been married 14 years and we are blessed with 2 girls, Alexis 9 and Laken 6. We live in Overland Park, KS. I worked for the Chairman of HNTB Companies (a National architect & Engineering firm) for 7 years. My boss was retiring and I was pregnant with Laken so I decided and was fortunate to be able to stay home with the girls for the next 5 years. Then the opportunity came to me to work at my girls Elementary School as the Principal's Secretary. This is my 2nd year there. My husband started his own business 13 years ago instructing operators on safely operating material handling equipment (fork lifts, cranes,etc.) all over the United States. We have been very blessed with our family and our health.

A BIG HELLO TO ALL!!

Take Care!!

Eric Rennagel

“Following graduation from O’Neill, I attended the University of Florida (Gainesville) and subsequently Georgia State Univ. where I earned a business degree, graduating summa cum laude. Since 1989, I have been in a rock band in LA (everyone got a good laugh at the photo, I’m sure!), worked as Studio Production Manager at Marvel Animation Productions, sold television programming and consumer products licensing, as Director, International Sales for a major entertainment company in LA, and sold enterprise software as VP, Sales for several years in the Bay Area. In 1999 David Wheeler and I co-founded and ran a silicon-valley, venture-backed software company called Tivix.com, raising over $5 Million at the peak of the dot.com boom. Unfortunately, Tivix, like many dot.coms, eventually succumbed to the difficult venture capital-funding market that followed, but it was an experience that changed both of us for the better. Bitten by the start-up bug, in 2001 I founded and am President and CEO of Conecture Technologies (http://www.mymediabox.com), which, like Tivix.com, provides hosted digital asset management and creative approvals workflow software to the television, film and consumer products industries. In 1991 I married my wife, Kelly, and today we have two girls and a boy, Chloe (11), Gabrielle (8) and Brock (5). We have lived in Buford, Georgia, in the suburbs northeast of Atlanta since 2003.”

Mike Segar

I have been married for 13 years now (wow, really?) And I have two children, Nikolas (12), and Elizabeth (3). I work for Metro-North Railroad, as an engineer, on the Hudson Line going to Grand Central. (Right across the river from our old high school.) Strangely enough, other than Daniel Matusic, I have seen no classmates even though I am fairly close to where we went to school. Prior to joining the railroad, I got a bachelors degree in Psychology from SUNY New Paltz. Good luck with the reunion. Hope everyone has a good time.

Bethany Spalding

After graduating from O'Neill, I went to Williams College. I graduated in 1989 and moved to China where I lived for a year, teaching English and Western Culture in a medical school. I came back to the US to go to Harvard Law School. After graduating from law school, I moved to Fairbanks, Alaska, where I practiced law for 10 years as a public defender. I'm now a magistrate for the district court here in Fairbanks. I married my husband Fred in 1998. Fred is a paramedic for the City of Fairbanks. We have two daughters (Nina is 4 and Skye is 2). We love it here in the great north country and plan to stay here at least until our kids have grown up.

Jon Brower

After graduating from O'Neill, I attended Hofstra University for a year, playing on the varsity lacrosse team, and roomed with Tim Thomson. From there I did a year at Rockland C.C. and finally finished my degree at CW Post College. After traveling across the country in search of a career I landed back in the northeast as a territory sales rep for a wholesale industrial and safety distributor, I stayed there for 7 years and landed at my current position as a Regional Sales Manager for Arlon. My division makes pressure sensitive vinyl's for the identity market. You see our products everywhere, Exxon Mobil, Home Depot, Talbots, Citizen Bank etc. In December of 2002, I married my wife Colleen and in November of 2004 we had our son Luke Frattarola Brower. We gave Luke my mothers maiden name in her honor - she passed in May of '88. We built a house in '04/'05 and currently live in Middlebury, CT.

Judy Rose

After graduating from Cornell, I moved to NYC and lived on the Upper East Side for a few years before moving down to the Union Square Area. I held a number administrative positions in healthcare/not-for-profit organizations, which led me to get a graduate degree in Public Health. Most recently, I was working for Planned Parenthood of New York City as the Director of Foundation and Corporate Giving. A few years ago, during a trip to Peru, I met Matthias, a fellow traveler from Germany, and we were soon married. Last year, we sold our apartment in NYC and started on a trip around the world (which is why I can't attend the reunion – a year too late I might add!) Feel free to follow our travels on http://www.judyandmatthias.blogspot.com/ . Cheers!

Kim Keefer

After receiving my bachelor's degree in politics from Marymount College in Tarrytown, NY in 1989, I worked at CARE in NY, NY for two years, and then moved to Washington D.C. to pursue a Master's Degree in International Affairs (conflict mediation). After spending some time in the non-profit fundraising arena, I recently decided on a career change and now work at ACS, Inc. in Germantown, MD (just north of Washington, D.C) as a Product Manager. ACS is a government contractor working with several government agencies, but my area is with the US. Dept. of Education. I am also currently pursuing certification as a Professional Project Manager.
In July, 2004 I adopted my son Alexander from Kalumna, Russia (just outside of Moscow) when he was just 12 months old, and now after almost 2 years Alex is a very energetic, smart, active little boy who is going to be 3 years old (hard to believe how fast the time goes). As long as all goes well with my career objectives over the next year, my intention is to adopt again, this time a girl from St. Petersburg, Russia. Alex and I own our home in Walkersville, MD (about 50 miles north of Washington, DC) and we just love it. Between holding down a career, pursuing further education, and being a single mom, I am a pretty busy, hectic person, but love every minute of it and feel incredibly blessed to have such a special and wonderful son, home and career.

Tracy Csoka Gansrow

I graduated from SUNY New Paltz with an Art Education degree. Then continued with graduate art classes. I was an instructor at the West Point Arts & Crafts center, doing murals and my own art on the side. I worked in the city in the fashion industry for a software company as an imaging artist, ( that was a crazy job!! lots of perks but late hours! ) I was married to my husband Tim in 1993 and we have 3 amazing kids, Connor 11, Dylan 7, and Kaitlyn 5. They keep me very busy but they are the joy of my life. Shortly after the birth of my second son I decided to stay home to raise the kids, became a soccer mom, started my own art studio and am now officially insane! Just kidding, but it does seem ages ago when we were carefree with no responsibilities. I am sure life has changed for all of us and hopefully in a good way! I hope everyone has a wonderful reunion and I wish you all the best.

I graduated from the SUNY-Cortland with honors in 1989, and obtained my law degree from Nova Southeastern University in Ft. Lauderdale, FL in 1992. Met my wife, Lori, at college and we got married on New Year's Eve during my first year of law school in 1989. I initially served in the U.S. Army's Judge Advocate Corps as a trial defense counsel, appellate counsel, and contracts appeals attorney. Thereafter, I joined the litigation and licensing practice groups with the firm of Fenwick & West, Palo Alto, CA, where among other experiences I was assigned as the senior litigation associate defending Napster for a while. Following the events of 9-11, I returned to active duty and was stationed at the Pentagon providing advice to the Secretary of the Army as part of the Army's Office of the General Counsel. Since the creation of the Department of Homeland Security in 2002, I have served as the Chief of Staff for the USCIS Office of the Chief Counsel within DHS. My family lives in Ashburn, VA outside Washington, DC, where my son, Michael (8), and daughter Alexis (3 1/2), enjoy various activities like baseball, soccer, and basketball which I usually coach. Publications include Exculpatory Polygraphs in the Courtroom: How The Truth May Not Set You Free, 28 Cumberland Law Review 77 (1997-1998), based on material which I was lucky enough to brief to the U.S. Supreme Court while on active duty and is recommended for anyone with trouble sleeping.

Jamie Rector (Reynolds)

Hi classmates! I have been living out in Seattle since college. My family followed me out here and now my parents and siblings live out here too. Since college I was bitten by the entrepreneurial bug and have started and helped grow a few businesses. For over a decade I worked in the wireless and software industries. Right now I’m working on the national launch of a Real Estate investment training company, Reach Returns in which I am a partner so perhaps I’ll be in your city before too long. If you want to come to a training session or a conference, just let me know and I’ll make sure we hook you up. Right now it looks like my travel schedule won’t allow me to join you in July. So I hope I’ll hear about the great things you have been doing, the wonderful people you have met and the goals you are still working on. I’ll be thinking about you during the reunion weekend. Look me up if you come to Seattle. You can contact me at jamie@reachreturns.com. Warmest Regards, Jamie

Debbie (Leach) Carney

After graduating from Cornell University in 1989 with a degree in chemical engineering, I headed to California to work for The Clorox Company. I spent most of my first two years on the road, finally landing in Georgia. I was fortunate to met John Carney at Clorox, and we were married in 1994. Our eight year old daughter, Katie, is the joy of our lives. John and I both still work at Clorox, although I've been part time since Katie was born. I stay busy as Katie's room mom, softball team recordkeeper, Sunday School teacher and Vacation Bible School director. When I can, I enjoy scrapbooking. John spends as much time as he can deer hunting - Katie loves going with him. I haven't kept in touch with very many people since high school like I had hoped I would. I wish everyone all the best.

Chris Hartle

Hello JIO classmates! I regret not being able to attend the reunion and reconnecting with all of you after now more than 20 years. Wow, time does fly doesn’t it? I have so many awesome memories of my three years at JIO and would have enjoyed hearing how all of your lives have evolved in the intervening years. In lieu of that conversation I would really like to hear “your story” if you would share it in an email message to me (chartle@seton.org).

In our brief time apart I have; graduated from West Point (thanks to Stacy Albanese the whole “graduation” thing was a little up in the air for a while there during plebe year! Just kidding Stacy – you kept me sane those first few months); served almost five years in the Army in Germany and Ft. Hood, Texas; received an MBA/MHA and have now settled down in Central Texas (Austin) where I am a Vice President for a large hospital system. I married a Texas girl (Trish) about a year after leaving West Point and we have been blessed with two wonderful Children (Reed – 6, Agatha – 4). We plan to be in Austin for the foreseeable future so if any of you are ever in the area I sincerely hope you will look us up and say hello.

Graduated from West Point in 1989 and went to Germany for my first assignment. After 1 year, I met my current wife (Tish Tully) who was a nurse in the Army. We have moved around the country to include Colorado, Troy, New York, West Point, New York, and Leavenworth, Kansas. We are currently in Germany finishing up a 3 year assignment. We are in the middle of a move to Washington, D.C. where I will work at the Pentagon. We have 2 beautiful girls, Kathleen (10) and Meg (7). Sorry I couldn't be there as I am in the middle of an exercise in Bulgaria.
Cheers and good luck and health to all.

Brenda Olsson

Hi classmates, this is Brenda (Olsson) Ross. After moving half way through my senior year I got alittle burned out on school and decided to skip the tradional 4year college. Instead I became a Paramedic and worked for the city of San Antonio and the county hospital. I LOVED my job and I was very good at it. I especially loved working with the children. Eventually I got married to an absolutely wonderful man named John, who is getting ready to retire from the Army after 20yrs. We will be heading back to Ft. Bragg where my mom and 16yo son live. John and I have 1 daughter, Abi, who truely is a miracle. She was less than 3lbs at birth but is almost 11 and tests at the 10 and 11th grade on her year end tests. God has been so good to our family. I homeschool and love it more than I ever thought I would, this is my 4th year. I love to read, quilt, sew and work with the military and bus ministry at our church. To some it might seem like I have a boring life, but I know I have a blessed life. Hope ya'll are doing well. Drop me a line if you want.
