Remembering back to the first year the school opened, I was in the
2nd Grade and there were only three classrooms used out of the
four and the three teachers who taught were Sister Ida Joseph,
Sister Gerald Cecilia, and Sister Marie Antoinette the principal
who were Dominicans from Adrian, Michigan. I also was in the First
Communion Class that very 1st Year. The first year I had three
older siblings who were Jim 8th Grade, Tom 6th Grade and Kathy 4th
Grade. Later three younger siblings completed grade school at St.
Antoninum Bob (Beaver) 1957, Marty 1959 and David 1960. Prior to
coming to St. Antoninius I attended Mother of Mercy School in
Westwood.
Going through grade school with another class in the room kind of
got you ready for the next grade. I think it was unheard of anyone
failing a grade at that time.
We were like a small neighborhood school and the students were
more like family. The nuns were very caring except for the nun
that taught part of my 5th Grade who was replaced for the second
semester. Can't remember her name. I do remember her taking Art
Lubbe and reprimending him by the coat lockers at the back of the
classroom. I think Art's family had her replaced.
8th Grade was a difficult year being that my mother died in
September, but being with my ST. Antoninus family and Sister
Norita Marie the principal helped to make things less difficult.
After 8th Grade I attended The School of the Brown County
Ursulines in St. Martin, Ohio for two years and then attended
Seton High School where I graduated in 1959. After high school I
attented Campbell Business College where I was a graduate.
I was married to George Burkley for 27 years and we had three
children Margaret, George III and Marijane. In 1992 I married Bob
Beck. Between us we have 8 children. I have 7 precious
grandchildren, Matthew 21, Maggie 17 belonging to Margaret and
Charlie 15 and Alison 11 belonging to George III and Louie 14, Max
10 and Caroline 5 belonging to Marijane. My precious Alison is a
Leukemia survivor with her brother Charlie being a perfect match
for her bone marrow transplant. My husband Bob has 18
grandchildren and 4 great grandchildren. So between us we have
quite a family.
My husband is retired from the Cincinnati Enquirer where he worked
all of his life except for 2 years in the military and I currently
work for Towne Properties Home Office in Mt. Adams where I have
been for 12 years.
I was very blessed to attend such a unique school. |

After graduation from St. Antoninus and Elder, I joined the US Air
Force for 4 years. Following discharge, I went to Villa Madonna
College in Covington and met my future wife Kathy Malone from
northern Kentucky. We were married in 1967, had three children
with one on the way by 1976 when I graduated from XU. During my
work career I have worked for 3 different companies: Interchemical
Corporation, Champion Paper, and Procter & Gamble. After 6 kids
and 21 years with P&G, I finally retired. But I am back working at
P&G as a contractor because I really respect and appreciate the
P&G people.
As I recall there were only about 10 or 12 of us 8th graders in my
St. Antoninus graduating class. Sr. Marie Antoinette was our 7th
and 8th grade teacher (we had a combined 7th and 8th grade class
in one classroom). We had classrooms in a large white 4-classroom
school building next to the old parish church. We went to mass
every morning. Fr. Goeckler was our pastor and lived in a large
house on Julmar on the other side of Linneman. We were a fairly
close class, but I believe most of my classmates went to St. X and
Mercy so I lost contact with them.
Currently, Kathy and I have 6 grandchildren, 4 in the area, and 2
in Columbia, SC. One of our children is a stay-at-home mom, one is
Director of Innovation and Prototype Development for RPI Graphic,
one is a Manager at P&G, one is a COP in Columbia, SC, one has
just completed a BA in Middle School Education at UC and is
working on an MEd, and our youngest works with a steel grating
manufacturer. |
