Hi,
This is Marika Santee (now Chronister). I came across the blog by chance and have gotten some good laughs from the elementary school pictures posted. It's totally wild to see names and faces of people I haven't seen in years. I left Catty in 1980 when my folks divorced and we moved to Bethlehem, so I haven't really kept in touch with too many people. I'm emailing because I'd be interested in connecting with a few old classmates - like Judy Almazan. I also have some old photos of one our elementary (or middle) school track and field events that I'd be willing to post for a few good laughs.

Marika ! Welcome. You went to Catty long enough to participate with the blog. Great to hear from you.
Marika, sorry I missed your posting in another comment section. Just came across it and Matt sent you an invite, but now you'll be our headliner for a few days!
Marika it is great to hear from you. Looking at old pictures I wondered what happened to you and some others who left Catty during our middle school years. I hope life is treating you well. Be sure to post a blog of what you are up to now and also some updated pictures. Take care!
marika - i posted a comment on the other page, but will check back here to see if you get this. obviously you must have caught up on my life via the bio, etc. i'd LOVE to chat and catch up with you. it has been at least 20 years. i want to hear about how you'e doing, your folks and brother, etc.
Marika!!!! Talk about a blast from the past! Hope you are well. Post a bio if you have some time; I'd love to hear what's happened in your life during the past 24 (!) years.
Marika - Great to hear from you!! Believe it or not, you played a role in the naming of my Daughter (Mariska). I really wanted to use my grandmothers name (OLGA) for the middle name and my wife and I discussed what the heck would go well with a good old fashioned Russian name like that. I shared some names with her that I thought would go together and in the process I mentioned your name. My wife kind of liked Marissa (although that was too Italian for us) and I suggested that if you combined the two you get Mariska. Low and behold,upon some additional research I learned that this too is a common russian name as well -although the only other "American" with that name that I know is Mariska Hargitay (Law & Order SVU).
I thought you'd appreciate the story. Maybe we'll see you at the Reunion!?! (Assuming El Presidente invites you -if he hasn't already!).
