I am Sister Rosella. I spent 20 of the greatest years of my life at St. Bart's. I loved the people and everything about the place. The living conditions for the sisters were rather odd but the people were great. I remember names like Sheehy, Gallaher, Ellis, Peters, Tripp, Salcetti, Burkart, Hannan, Brady, King,Lee, --I could go on and on. I think that I have my first class list in purple ditto listing that class. No one believes in this day and age that I taught 47 first grade children all day and did my principal work in the p.m.

The teacher I remember best was Mrs. Benke. She was cool. I recall the name Fr. Fecto but have no memory. Mrs. McHugh was another teacher. Sr. Caroline was our 8th grade teacher.

I'll have to weed through the old photos... (wonder what ever happened to sister Barbara)

Would love more information on the reunion. I live near San Francisco now, but get back to D.C. a couple of times per year to visit my parents.

this really is something. it's a part of my life that feels like it's a dream rather then something we experienced. 30 years is really a long time ago. I recall watching the watergate hearings in class. remember the "scope" scandel???

I am in the process of moving from Scottsdale, AZ back to Washington, DC. Please keep me updated as to the Spring reunion - I should be there!
In addition, I have a copy of the Class of 1980 Last Will and Testament. Can I mail a copy of it to you for use during the reunion?

I attended 3rd through 6th grade, when I was pulled out to attend middle school at St.John's in NW, Washington, DC. If it weren't for middle school, I'd've completed with my class at St.Bart's, as my siblings did.

I attended the school for about a year and a half when my family and I lived in the USA due to my father's job at the Interamerican Development Bank in Washington DC. we lived in Bethesda and my sister and I attended the school. We have wonderful memories and as I have seen in your page it has grown a great deal. Congratulations. Now I am 50 years old, I'm married and I have 3 grown up children. My best friend's name was Adelia Kehoe (Dee) but I never heard of her after that.
