Christine's Story
Hello to all of you whom i went to St. Ann's Episcopal School on South Ocean Beach in Palm Beach, Florida from 1966 - 1969. I am trying to get in touch with you to have a reunion in Florida next year or this year. We could perhaps have it at my mother's home in Boca Raton, a. I can fly over from Norway and would love to see you. So much has happened to me since i graduated from St. Ann's.
After the summer of 1969 i attended Finch College in New York City and after one year dropped out because I did not do too well in school. Seems like I had a lot of holes in my education for the New York schools. So, the year after, I decided to try and become and actress and attended the American Academy of Dramatic Arts on 31st and Madison in NYC. That was lots of fun but since only 40 students are invited back out of 400 I did not get invited back. The summer seemed to be quite hopeless and I almost gave up had I not met my husband in May. I fell in love with him after being friends for a few weeks and we moved up to New York city from Florida where i had been that summer with my parents. I then was persuaded by my father to go to Katherine Gibbs Secretarial School and later graduated in Pompano from Pom...Expand for more
pano Business college. At that time, I never dreamed i could be a secretary. However, I have been working as an executive secretary, project secretary, legal secretary and really enjoy my life!! In addition, I moved and now live in Hvalstad, Norway which is about 30 minutes south of Oslo in Norway. I have been living here with my family for the past 20 years.
We married in 1975 and I have been working as a secretary for about 15 years for several companies in the eastern United States and in Norway.
I worked at Norsk Hydro oil and Gas in Oslo as field and development secretary for the Oil and Gas Exploration department. I have three grown children - two girls and a son ages 33, 31 and 29. We have two cats and a lovely old refurbished home in Hvalstad.
Hoping to find out how my old student friends from St. Ann's School, Rosarian Academy and Finch college from the years 1965 until 1969 are doing!!
I do visit the U.S. every year (Florida and New York area) and would love to see them!
Currently, we are having lots of snowy weather here and Norway is the land of snow! Please write back and tell me what you are up to and what you have been doing.
all the best,
Chrissy Essaye (now Bergesen)
