Doreen Roginski and Kirk Butler
By Doreen Roginski

Although we attended Normandy at the same time, we did not meet there since Kirk was in Vocational Welding and I was in Secretarial.  We actually worked together at Stancato's restaurant and started dating in 1972.  

  

We married in September 1974 and lived in Parma.  We had our daughter Vanessa in 1979 and our son Vince in 1982.  We then lived on Rockside Road in Seven Hills for over 40 years.  Both of our children are Normandy High School graduates.

We love to travel, go boating, and spend time with our four grandchildren.  Life has been great.

    

Kirk retired after 43 years in the Steel industry.  I have been a Florist for many years.  We downsized and moved to Avon Lake three years ago.  Living on the Lake is wonderful!

We are both so thankful for family, friends, and all the opportunities and adventures that life has bestowed on us!

Barb Adams and Bob Gubanich
By Barb Adams

Our story began in 8th Grade at Shiloh Jr. High.  We attended both the Jr '72 and Sr '73 proms at Normandy. We have been married for 45 years and together for 53!  

   This is our wedding photo from 1977.      Here's one of our favorite bike trips!

            

We were married May 28, 1977 after I graduated from Nursing school.  We have 2 sons and 3 grandchildren.  We loved riding our Harley for 4 decades and have traveled thousands of miles.  After retiring from Ford, Bob opened FatBob Pizza in Brunswick [our Harley-themed pizza shop].  We are now totally retired and life is good.

Susan Sekerak and Keith Rericha
By Susan Sekerak-Rericha

It all began in 1971 when we met outside of homeroom one day.  We went to Junior Prom together in 1972.  My Mom made my dress.  We also went to our Senior Prom together in 1973.

Here we are at Normandy’s Junior and Senior Proms.  

We were married on April 23, 1977, at the “ripe” old ages of 21 and 22, and lived in Parma, Ohio.  However, we moved to Munson Town-ship, located in Geauga County, OH to raise our 3 awesome sons.

Here's our wedding photo and a picture of our family just a little while after our third son was born.
 

We do love to travel!  Years ago I was so fortunate to have Keith and the boys visit and meet our family in the tiny little mountain village in the Republic of Slovakia where my father was born. 

Our family today has 5 adored grandchildren - including one more precious grandson since this picture was taken. We also have 5 Golden Retriever grand-puppies and 5 cats between all of us!

We are TRULY BLESSED!!!

Regina Sacha and Ed Ujczo (Both 1973 Grads)

Regina Sacha and Ed Ujczo are two '73 Normandy Grads that knew each other in high school but never really dated.  However, after almost a decade of additional schooling and other distractions, they fell in love and were married on June 11, 1983. 

Regina and Ed are still happily together almost 39 years later!  

                   They have reflected on their lives together, saying "Time has flown.  No children but lots of animals over the years - currently 4 horses and 3 dogs occupy our lives!"
