We were thrilled to welcome Susan Ann Kotrady (Mello) ’66 back to Unquowa for Winterfest this year. She loved the show, but the highlight of her visit was spotting herself in a classic historic field hockey photo displayed on our gym wall.

Susan graduated when Unquowa included 9th grade, and she was close friends with former students Virginia Ives McLevy and Sarah Ives — the grandmother and great aunt of current students Jack and Charlie Bazzanella. If you look really closely, Susan was even wearing her official Unquowa school uniform sweater! Susan’s recent visit was a wonderful reminder of how deep roots and lasting connections can span generations in the Unquowa community. Go Gators!!!
