"Hi Tom,
I certainly enjoyed your photos--they're priceless. I don't even think I owned a camera that worked in the Corps!! I haven't been on the WC site in a while, so thought I'd take some time to browse tonight. By the way, you and I share the…"

"Hi back again,
I am still waiting for Paula to get on. Debbie is on and I guess that's it. You have to spend some time going to the different sites and finding people as you see their name. Are you still living in the same place where I came to…"

"Hi Kirsteen,
I haven't been on the site in a while, so now there are so many people (including you) that have been added. It's interesting going back to all the people I've met over the years and how our relationships came to be. God bless you…"

"Hi Dianne, I am browsing through the Way Corps names after several months of not tending to it. I've wanted to reconnect with you after all these years. I still have the photos of our time at the "dairy" in New York somewhere. You can email me and…"

Dan, I was out there last May to visit my mom and sister in NK. I saw the murals in St. Mary's. They are beautiful. I have always appreciated your artistic talents. God bless!

"Hi Debbie,
I'm so glad to hear from you! I was just talking to Vince today about my WOW year. Isn't it funny how our lives have come "full circle" after all these years? Liz has filled me in every now and again. Be blessed!!

"Hey Mike,
Good to hear from you. How's Topeka? I have two brothers living there now and that's it. My Mom lives in NK near my sister. She moved there two years ago August from Topeka. It's good for both her and Liz. Tucson is my home now but the…"

Donna Zander Catalano left a comment for Lonnell Johnson

"Hi Lonnell,
I was in the 11th Corps and was in the Word since I was a young girl (13) and always loved your Good News Day (poem). I've been trying to "recite" what I remember of it to my kids over the years. How can I get a copy of it? I have always…"

"Hey Frank,
I've been trying to get in touch with Larry R for some time now. Vince & I connected with him and Tammy a few years back while we were in the Chicago area. It was like a mini-reunion. Do you have his email address? I don't have his…"

Donna Zander Catalano left a comment for Mike Lorence

"Hi Mike & Sheila,
Do you remember me from Topeka? I was just a young teen at the time. Went into the 11th Corps as you probably know by now. Over the years, of course, I've thought about people like you from way back when. This is such a great tool…"

About Me

Vince and I have been (happily) married for 25 years now and have four children (a girl and three boys), ages 12-20. Vince works for the City of Tucson and has an architecture practice here at home. We travel often with our family and love living in Tucson because it gives us the city life and the wild west! I have a sister (Liz Jay--8th Corps married to Peter Jay--11th, Ann Hill--6th Corps married to Mark Hill--11th). Vince and I lived in Flagstaff for three years after Corps graduation (1983) and then moved to Tucson after that to start our family.

My Interests

Traveling and reading. Vince and I are going to China in October with our 18 year old son. We love historical places and have tramped all over the U.S. mainly. We travel often with the Knopfs (Paul, 11th & his wife Christine) and with all our kids over the years.

Employment or Career

I have been a stay-at-home mom all these years except for owning and managing apartments (done with that!) and bookkeeping/paperwork for Vince's architecture business. My new "career" is our eight-month old chocolate lab named Joey. It's like having a toddler. We walk and go to the dog park, so I am one of those people at the dog park. I will post photos at some point. My real career is managing my family and home. I have two kids in college and three still at home.

Music I Like

Select songs from different genres, but I mostly love country music, the fiddle, banjo and guitar.

Books I Like

Autobiographies, biographies, and non-fiction. I am working on reading my Bible in a year (love the NLT version!) A Cowboy and His Elephant True Stories of the Tracker (Tom Brown)--remember him? God's Smuggler (Brother Andrew--updated) Marley and Me (that was so Vince and I with our first dog!!!) That list is just for starters...

Television I like

48 Hours Mystery Dancing with the Stars America's Most Wanted Flip This House Late night ER Trauma Discovery Health Shows

Movies I like

Planes, Trains and Automobiles Uncle Buck Can't think of any others at the moment

Sports Teams I like

U of A Basketball Whatever sports teams my kids are on

Hi Donna: the Email I have for Larry (book'em Dano) Ramberg is lartam1@mchsi.com Hope you had a Great Thanksgiving. Love ya - Frank
Mike Lorence November 23, 2007 at 10:27am

Donna, it is great to hear from you. I remember you and have many fond memories of Topeka. I have a picture on my office wall taken by Gary Anderson (around 1973 - 74) at Gage Park in the Rose Garden by the lily pond. I don't think you were in it though. I'm glad to hear that you and your family are doing well. Please stay in touch.
Frank Abissi November 23, 2007 at 7:39am

HI Donna: Love to you both. Good to see you here. Larry (Stick'em up, I've got a badge) Ramberg showed me a picture of you and Vince a few years back and I saw you are still the same wonderful person I knew back in-res.

Donna Zander - oh my gosh, what a blast from the past. How are you? Umpteen years ago I was coming over for spring training and I tried to call you but somebody gave me the wrong number. Tell Vince I said hi. Lyn and I lived in CA for about 17 years then moved to NC. Add pics!
