Well, we've been away a while, haven't we? Lets catch up on some graduation news!

Three new High School graduates from Syracuse: EMO's great grand daughter Mary Montague (from Corcoran HS), with cousins Conor Murphy & Evan Flynn (Westhill HS)!

Mary graduated first in her class & received scholar-athlete awards galore with varsity letters in softball, soccer (with all-league honors), football (!), basketball, and lacrosse - she moves on in August to pre-med studies & women's lacrosse at Cornell University. Evan also received scholar-athlete honors after serving as Vice-President for Student Council & lettering in varsity football - he moves on in August to St. John Fisher College in Rochester. Like his cousins, Conor received scholar-athlete honors for his fine grades and varsity letters in soccer (with all-league honors), hockey and lacrosse. Conor also earned a U.S. Army Reserve National Scholar-Athlete Scholarship Award - he'll follow the footsteps of his Dad (and older sister Carrie) when he enters Niagara University in August. Best of luck to these three fine graduates, and check out the pix below!

After a stellar career at Onondaga Community College, EMO's great grandson Kevin Murphy moves on this August to the surveying tech program at Wanakena Ranger School at Cranberry Lake. It's a one-year program affiliated with SUNY-ESF.

Kevin continues dancing with the Drumcliffe School of Irish Dance. He was a member of the 2002 Eastern Oireachtas and North American Championship Senior 8-Hand team, and he danced this year in the World Irish Dance Championships (Oireachtas Rince Na Cruinne) in Kilkenny, Ireland (April 2003).

Continuing with the Celtic theme, EMO's grand daughter Ellen Murphy Flynn is in serious training with hubbie Bob Flynn as they get ready for a new season of competition with the Syracuse Scottish Pie Band. Road trips to Pennsylvania and Canada are coming up in 2003 - best of luck, kids!

EMO's great grandson Sean Murphy is on the mend after breaking his wrists in a biking accident (December 2002). He is back at work again as pastry chef at the Broadmore Hotel in Colorado Springs, CO - Sean's a survivor!
