Monica Krompasky
Monica is another one of our classmates who I did not know in high school. I got to know her in San Diego in the 1980's and 1990's as she was a legal secretary for a small firm which shared a law library with my firm. I used to chat with Monica as I was going to and from the library without knowing where she was from. One day we started talking about high school and stumbled on the fact that we both graduated from Catalina in 1959. What a small world! (She told me she spent three years at Tucson High and then went to Catalina only in her senior year) Monica then informed that an attorney in her firm also graduated met Ray) I immediately went to my 59 yearbook, looked up Ray's class picture, blew it up on the scanner/copier and anonymously posted it in his firm's kitchen with the note.. "Does anyone recognize this man?" Of course Monica was in on the joke and reported back to me that several employees thought it was a picture of Ray's oldest son. Then Ray saw the picture and knew that someone had taken it from the Catalina 59 yearbook. Monica then introduced me to Ray (1984), we had a great laugh and have been friends ever since. I must confess though that I have lost track of Monica over the past six or seven years. |
