Monica's Story
Hello my classmates! It doesn't seem like 30 years have passed, but they have been busy. After graduation, I set off for Butler University in Indy and didn't like it. Loved Indy though. I came back to Valpo and worked at the Fairgrounds for a year waiting for the respiratory therapy program to begin at IVTech. I learned how to make great wedding arrangements. After finishing respiratory, I moved to South Bend and worked at St. Joseph's Medical Center. I started as a student working weekends before graduation. When I left 6 years later, I completed my certification with IVTech, registry program at Northwestern Univ. in Chicago, completed my B.S. degree with St. Francis, and was applying to Notre Dame for my masters in administration. I met my husband, Brian Kohles, at the hospital. He was a family practice resident. We married August 29, 1992 and he finished in June 1993.

a family practice group. He stays busy! We have three sons, Nick 18, Daniel 15, and Randall 14. I have been a Boy Scout leader with them for 12 years. Brian camps with them. My idea of roughin' it is Motel 6! They all head off to West Virginia for white water rafting this summer. Mom gets a vacation for a week too while they're gone that includes tons of time for reading. I retired from respiratory when I started having the boys. I still have an older brother who lives in Valpo, so we visit every 2-3 months. I always enjoyed Friday night football games, Shakey's Pizza, and cruising downtown. My whole family loves to travel; we've been across the country several times. Once the boys were all old enough, we ventured to Europe. We have been to England, Ireland, Scotland, Wales, Greece, and Turkey with them. Brian and I made it to Holland, France, Switzerland, and Italy before the children. It's always nice to come home!
