Class Notes

Kathryn Courtney Kelchner switched schools this year and is a marine science coordinator/teacher and art teacher at St. Mary Star of the Sea School in Hampton, Va. At a recent meeting at Bishop Sullivan Catholic High School in Virginia Beach, she found the senior pictures of James Whalen and Gary Witzenburg on the wall. It took her back to those Custis days freshman year!

I celebrated 23 years, from cartography to program management, with the National Geospatial Intelligence Agency. I cart my three boys to soccer and Scout events. I lead my son’s den and took them to a January men’s basketball game, where they had a blast watching UMW beat Penn State-Harrisburg. My Scout activities also introduced me to fellow pack parent David Rider ’96, who lives in the Manassas area with his wife and two children.

I recently learned I’m neighbors with Heather Jackson Priddy ’89. Our sons, Brett and Jack, are friends and classmates at Jennie Dean Elementary School. The world gets smaller all the time. Classmates, please share your experiences with us. We’d love to hear from you.
