7 ISA 5MA Did you ever dream of spending a summer in some faraway country? Meeting new people? Eating strange foods? Most of us do, but they usually remain just that-dreams. For six members of the Class of ’82, these dreams became reality. This past summer, Jaime French, Mark Chambers, Sarah Lewis, Barb Chrenko, Jim Addison and Heather McBreen spent an entire two months overseas. Though leaving behind family and friends was difficult, all agree it was a summer never to be forgotten. Jaime or Jim could have been seen at the fiestas of Spain, sipping sangria, or dancing the jota. One might have found Sarah hiking the Black Forests of Germany or savoring scrumptious struedal. The “port wine” country was summer residence for Mark, as were the beautiful beaches of Portugal. Barb’s summer was spent in view of the majestic Alps of Switzerland. In France, Heather could have been climbing the Eiffel tower or soaking up the rays on a beach along the Seine. These six left Scotia in search of excitement and intrigue, with a taste for European life. What they found was beyond their wildest dreams. Outside of Scotia, outside of New York, outside of these United States, there is a world; a world of people much like you and me. Languages are different, as are customs and ways of life. But each one of us is really quite the same. We all have hopes, we all have fears. Most important, we all have dreams. ISigue Sonar! Dream On!

umor® It is a small world, much to the dismay of many Scotia- Glenville seniors, to whom Schenectady is the most exotic area where they have resided. But not for Odile Marie Conley. Scotia is, for the moment, just a stop-off on the way to MORE foreign places. I emphasize more, because Odile comes to us by way of Aix-en- Provence, France; Madrid, Spain; Bronxville, New York; and Wakefield, Massachusetts. When most Scotia- Glenville students plan a “big” spring vacation to Myrtle Beach, Odile spends Easter in France. She has also made visits to Germany, Portugal, and Ireland. She is able to do this because her father is employed by a large corporation with international offices. Odile also has two older sisters who are still residents of Spain. Despite all of her travels, Odile, like the majority of Scotia- Glenville seniors, was born in New York; Auburn to be exact. Many other members of the class of ’82 were also born in our native state. For example, the three most common birthplaces are Schenectady, with 88 of the students answering the survey; Niskayuna, with 12 students; and Amsterdam, with 7. Of seniors responding to the survey, the states where they were born are New York, California, Indiana, Colorado, New Jersey, Hawaii, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, North Carolina, Virginia, Kentucky, Connecticut, Idaho, Vermont, Florida, Arizona, and Texas. Chris Ziotkowski and Mike Chotkowski, the only seniors born out of the U.S. were born in Guam and Hawaii. Even though the class of ’82 comes from many distant places, they are all joined together here in Scotia, New York, to graduate as a whole, and some of them are sure to meet again, sometime . . . somewhere . . .
