ALUMNI SPOTLIGHT<br />
A Very Foley Proposal<br />
When JD Michoski ’07 asked Lauren Zaleski ‘07 to be his girlfriend in <strong>the</strong> Bishop<br />
Foley Catholic High School gym in March <strong>of</strong> 2005, he had no idea that Foley would<br />
play such a big role in his relationship! Nearly ten years after asking Lauren to be<br />
his girlfriend, JD knew he was ready to take <strong>the</strong> next step, and he knew just where<br />
to do it. He contacted BFC and asked if he could propose to Lauren in <strong>the</strong> same<br />
spot he asked her out – <strong>the</strong> BFC gym. Members <strong>of</strong> Foley staff were more than<br />
excited to help with JD’s romantic plan! On <strong>the</strong> night <strong>of</strong> December 13,<br />
2014, JD took Lauren out to a nice dinner and she figured it was just<br />
going to be ano<strong>the</strong>r date night for <strong>the</strong> two <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>m. Little did Lauren<br />
know that JD had quite <strong>the</strong> surprise up his sleeve.<br />
JD blindfolded Lauren and drove her to Foley. She had no idea where<br />
<strong>the</strong>y were when he stopped <strong>the</strong> car and helped walk her into <strong>the</strong> school!<br />
He brought her to <strong>the</strong> center <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> gym, where he finally removed her<br />
blindfold, and got down on one knee. Lauren could hardly believe what<br />
was happening and she <strong>of</strong> course said yes!<br />
JD and Lauren are now planning a May 2016 wedding. The bride-tobe<br />
works as a Wellness Account Manager at Quest Diagnostics, while<br />
<strong>the</strong> future groom is a Radar Systems Engineer at Delphi. The BFC<br />
community would like to extend <strong>the</strong>ir deepest congratulations to JD and<br />
Lauren and were so happy <strong>the</strong>y got to be a part <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>ir special night!<br />
