Mary Anne's Story

Married in 1963 to Paul Kozmoski. Had 4 children. My first child, Kathy, died at 18 months old of a brain tumor. My son, Daniel is 42. My daughter, Christine is 40 and my daughter, Donna is 36. They all live within a few miles from me. I had many jobs over the years. I worked for a Travel Agency right after St. Mary's. Then I worked for Hoffman-La Roche, where I was one of the 5 employees to start a Drama Club, which, I am proud to say, is still going stong today. I wrote the plays, using songs from Broadway Shows. We performed our musicals at churches, hospitals and at Nutley NJ High School. Admission charges at the school went to charity. Out of that, we progressed to a Chorus, Jazz Band, Rock & Roll Band, and Chamber Orchestra. Our Chorus took part in Corporate Chorus Contests. We also recorded a long-playing (33 1/3) record. Anyone remember those? I then stayed home for a few years with my children, taking on part-time jobs. I then progressed to Admin for St. Nicholas School in Passaic NJ. This enabled me to spend time with my children in the summer. We have a vacation cabin in PA and I was lucky enough to stay there, by the lake, all summer with the kids. When I went back to work full-time, I worked for 2 Software companies and then my last job was with Sony Electronics...Expand for more
in the TV Marketing Dept. In this capacity, I got to work with Movie and TV Stars and the NASCAR Drivers. While at Sony I was on the Employee Community Involvement Council which orgaized employees to help local charities. We worked with Ophanages, sponsored baby showers to benefit St. Clare's, in Newark NJ, which took care of Aids Babies. We also supplied toys for toy drives at Christmas, Coat Drives and Backpack/school supply drives for "at risk" children. I taught Ceramic Painting for 6 years and now am painting for myself. I have won a few awards for some of my hand-painted pieces. I also do other crafts and am a "sometime" party and wedding planner. I retired in 2004. The following year, I drove across country, visiting realtives and friends with my sister. I love to travel and that has always been one of the things I wanted to do. Loved it! I have still been working with charities with clothing drives for babies and young children. It just transferred to my house. I also started "Line Dancing", but I got sidelined this year by an operation on my knee. I tore the cartilage for the third time on the same knee......so I'm chillin for a while. And now I'm trying to arrange a reunion for all of the St. Mary's "girls" for 2009. Let me know if anyone has addresses of the girls.
