Class Notes
1990s
Mary Helen Kloeckner Halley ’89 and
her husband Sid of Hillsdale welcomed
their first child, Margaret Grace, into the
world March 15. Mary, who received the
Recent Graduate Award from the Siena
Heights Alumni Association in 2000,
wrote in August: “Maggie turned five
months this week and it has been just
bliss. I go back to work this week and
I know she will be fine at daycare but I
will be a mess. I am sure that, in time,
I will learn to understand that Maggie
doesn’t need me 24 hours a day!” Mary
is an English teacher and coach at North
Adams-Jerome High School.
Aimee Nemeckay ’89, ‘91/MA of
Chicago began a new career in March,
joining the award-winning residential
and commercial design firm of Susan
Fredman & Associates, LTD. Several
years ago, Aimee made a conscious
decision to “pursue my passion for creating interior environments” by enrolling
at The Harrington Institute of Design in
Chicago. Her new employer, SF&A, is
a nationally recognized firm with three
decades of experience and a reputation
for innovative design in projects ranging from urban dwellings to beachfront
retreats. “I consider myself absurdly
fortunate to be in the company of more
than 20 design professionals who make
up the SF&A family,” Aimee writes.
“Their collective experience and dedication to excellence and design innovation
are inspiring.”
