Mary's Story

At this "stage of the game" the "story" seems more like the HISTORY ! Born in Milw, raised in Muskego . . . on Island Dr. just a block East of the "lake". LOVED growing up in our little neighborhood ! We played "cowboys" in the valley, swam and learned to water ski ( slaome even) on the lake. (Butch Poszlenzie was our 1st "barefoot" skier) Brother Phil's 50hp Evinrude was the biggest motor on the lake for awhile and brother Pete and I were able to "hot-start" it during the day, while Phil was at work. AWESOME fun summer-times ! ! ! Ice skating and sleding/snow sking kept us busy during the winter months. Was hired by Allen-Bradley to sing/tour with their orcherstra/chorus ( got to perform at the old Ryman Theatre/Grand Old Opry in Nashville a few times as well as TONS of other "one-nighters" pretty much all over our wonderful country while out "on the road" . (Was much too young to really appreciate these few years but they sure have given me some GREAT memories ! ! ! ) Got married to the "love of my life" in 1963. Raised 2 boys and a girl who all graduated from MHS . The boys have blessed us with 5 "grand-babies" . . . daughter Julie and I continue to teach dance & gymnastics at our very own school located just a mile or so from the High school on Racine Ave. We are MAJK (Mary And Julie Kozlik) and almost everyone calls me "Miss Mary". (Even family and friends . . . even mom . . . even the priests) Which reminds me . . . Director of Religious Education (DRE for St. Joe's in Big Bend) has been a HUGE part of my life these past 30 or so years as wel...Expand for more
l. For "fun" Frank and I began motorcycle "touring" at 40 and I continue to "ride" his "Beemer" since his very sudden death in 1998. The "Beemer" and I even road the Pacific Coast Hwy and toured Calif. for almost a month in celebration of turning 60. (Yup ! did that solo and once again created some pretty AWESOME memories.) Have also visited Thailand and Cambodia, Rafted the Co.River through the Grand Canyon for 8 days, traveled to Rome last summer and had my very 1st Rose Bowl experience this past year. And still . . . the very best part of being "away" is comming "home" to family, friends and yup . . . Muskego ! Was able to choreograph a number of MHS "musicals" throughout the years and totally LOVED those experiences . . . (specially the years I got to work WITH "Miss Katzsor") Oh so many memories . . . and now . . . we're in "waiting" for our 50th reunion . . . commin' up the end of Aug. 2011 50 YEARS ! ! ! for the only class from MHS that can still remember their graduating-year 1961 'UPSIDE-DOWN" ! ! How blessed are we to have been "molded" by this GREAT community, these GREAT friends, our GREATEST families ! "We are from Muskego and we're proud to shout it's name" "We've got a team that's grand, the finest in the land" "And we are out to spread our fame to one and all" "Red and White the colors and the Warriors is our name" "We will fight . . . fight . . . with all our might for our "Muskego High" . . . ('course they changed this song once we left . . . oh well . . . nothing really remains the same) Thanks for the "ramble" . . . "MissMary"
