Bragging Rights All Around
Both the Archbishop Keough and Seton alumnae groups have reason to be proud following their basketball game on Jan. 10th. Keough won the game 26-19 while Seton brought out an impressive number of players, fans, and cheerleaders. The game raised $200 for the Seton Keough Annual Fund. The rematch will take place on the second weekend of November (date TBA). Mark your calendars now to come out and play or cheer on the teams.

Elaine Stickler Buddenbohn S'47
I am now in a retirement community in Pennsylvania so that I may be near my two daughters (two sons are in Texas). Loving most moments of it. I love 10 grandchildren from 30 to 2—most interesting! Some of my best years were as a student at Seton and I still regularly talk to or see some of my best "buds" from S.H.S.
Susan Patricia Golden S’61
Universal Music Day 2008 was a wonderful community building event with twice as many Musicians, plus interest building nationally and international. We also coordinated a musical theme for the Art Show at the Octagon Art Center in Clearwater. I hope Seton Keough and other Alumnae will join the World Wide Sound Wave for Peace and Justice on October 10, 2009! Visit www.UniversalMusicDay.org.
Anna Kuuleimomi Johnson Aldrich K’75
I have studied, loved and created music since my early high school days. After having made a semi-professional CD about 4 years ago, I just signed a recording contract with Tate Music. Look for my CD "PAROUSIA" in stores in the spring. Isn't God good?! Don't ever give up on your dreams.
