Deborah Verdello:  

CLASS OF 1966
North olmsted, OH

Deborah's Story

After graduating from NOHS in 1966, I tried nursing school at Cuyahoga Community College for a year and a half. Although the Anatomy/physiology was fun, the hospital environment scared me off at age 19. I then went to school for accounting and have been crunching numbers ever since. Not sure this was right for me, but after all these years, why argue now. I married Nazeur (Butch) Fetchen from the class of 1965. He was in the Navy-so we lived in several cool places-Chicago, Hawaii, San Francisco area, Connecticut, and Westchester County, NY. As you might guess, Hawaii was my all-time favorite. We had two sons, Douglas and Scott (now 44 and 42!) who both live in the Charleston, SC area with my 3 grandchildren ages 17, 14 and 11. Nazeur's younger sisters, Leslie and Dawn, 13 and 9, lived with us after their mother died until they were out of school. Leslie lives in Texas and Dawn in Michigan today with their families. I'm happy to say we are still close. We moved to the northwest part of New Jersey (beautiful ski area) in 1979 and I've been there ever...Expand for more
since. We were divorced in the 1980's. At that time I met and married my husband, John, from New York. We've been married 24 great years. He's as nutty as I am, so life is never dull. I have 2 stepsons, Michael, 35 and Daniel, 31 who have been a big part of my life for 25 years. I have fond memories of NOHS-the Canteens, dances, football games, basketball games, poster parties, girls' GAA basketball, pajama parties, bon-fires, picnics, going down in the the "valley", Manners Big Boy, etc. But mostly I have fond memories of people-my friends Darlene L., Ginny B., Julie C., Don K., Phil M., and many others. I went to our 40th class reunion 7 years ago and enjoyed seeing some old friends from NOHS and a few of the Maple School gang!-Jack L. and Robby H. Some people I didn't recognize at all. Others were unmistakable-just a little more gray or missing hair here or there. We'll have to try again in 3 years for the 50th. But we'll need BIG name-tags with our old high school pictures. Our eyes (and memories) will probably be slipping a little by then!
