Loretta (Flores) Manrique (class of '67) It is with sad news I announce
the passing our one of our A.G.O. sisters.  Lottie is at peace now and has joined
Our Heavenly Father along with the many of Our AGO Family. 

The Flores Family held a "Celebration of Life" for Lottie on October 18. where
so many of thier  family & friends gathered to share their most memorable
moments with each other.  Beatrice's son created a beautiful collage video
presentation of Lottie, which had everyone crying & laughing at the same time.

Josie, Bea, Jessica & Gabriel, we all share in your loss.  May her memories live
in your hearts forever!  Lottie, for those of us that knew you, you will always
remain in our Hearts!

The Board has changed it's appearance, hope it's more to your liking.  There are new photo albums added to our photo site and more will be added shortly.

           ____________________________________________________________
 
Before I continue with the photo's I am adding another link  that will include names according to class.  These names are being taken from the "Year Books."  The oldest year book I have is 1948, after that I have from 1953-1962.  If anyone has one of the 4 years in between 1949 - 1952 or any before 1948, it would be great.  There were no year books printed from 1963-1968.  The last year books that we have are 1969-1970.

Also, for those who are not aware, a few years ago, Mary Beth obtained copies of the pages of the "Orphanage News" from the "Young People's Friends" magazine from the Archdiocese Archives.  Included in the "Orphanage News" were the names in each of the graduating classes.  More important are the Grammar School names, since a lot of kids left before High School Graduation.  The first year that is listed is 1945 with some years missing in between.  Your help in supplying missing names & years will be appreciated!  

If anyone still has their graduation commencement cards with names, that would be a big help, this way we can account for everyone that was in "your" class.   You can scan it in and send it to me as an attachment.  Once the list is up, if you find any missing or incorrect names, please let me know and I will update.  There will be a number next to the names showing the last year that  can be accounted for.  For those of you, who's year is not listed, please let me know so that I can updated that information.
