Alumni News
Class Reunion News
The class of 1985 reunion is set for May 27, 2006.
Officially, this will be their 21st reunion. It will be at the
Marriott Suites in Downers Grove. A report on the event
will appear in the next Reflector.
Alumna Adriane Koehne writes: “I would be interested to
know if anyone from the class of 1976 is planning a
reunion. I would like some information as to the dates, etc.
If no one is planning one, I would be interested in being part
of a committee that works on a reunion for our class this
summer or fall. Please contact me at adeteach@juno.com.”

On-line Alumni Photo Album
Alumna Helen (Teune) Van Essendelft informs us of her online
photo gallery of Timothy alumni. It contains mostly photos
from the class of 1971, but also photos of staff members and
students that she thought might be of interest to the Timothy
community. If you’d like to contribute photos to the photo
album, please contact Helen at hve@teune.com. Thanks for
sharing, Helen! The photo album can be found at:

Vivian Lauth Nielsen ’38
Accompanying a memorial gift for her mother, we received this
note from Jill LaBardi:
“Please accept this donation in memory of my mother, who
passed away November 24, 2005. She was a 1938 graduate
(from eighth grade) of Timothy Christian School in Cicero. She
was also the grandmother of two Timothy High School
graduates: Brian LaBardi ’96, who recently graduated from
John Marshall Law School, and Beth LaBardi ’01, a medical
student at Georgetown University. My mother had lost touch
with many good friends from Timothy but always spoke highly
of the school and the influence it had on her life. I credit her
strong faith in large part to the Timothy family. May God bless
you and give us all the peace my mother experienced during a
difficult illness.”
