Marcus Ronaldi - "Where are they now?"

After finishing 2nd in the 1993 Mayoral election I packed up my non-air conditioned car to Atlanta for a spell. After a while returned to Maryland where I got a job selling newspaper advertising which was a dying field even then so I went to graduate school in West Virginia.

In 1997 I got a job in California as the weather was far better. At this point Clay Robeson and Frank Johnson were part of one of the best practical jokes on me.

Last few years I have been in recruiting and sourcing including work with Cisco and Google. Feel free to send your resume to me (hydra1970@gmail.com)

When I started working at Google I was concerned that the complimentary Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner would make me as big as a house so I started running. Since then I have run 3300 miles and my goal is to run 1000 miles in 2011 (I am at 550) and 12400 miles by December of 2020. Raised money for Parkinsons and Team in Training.

For fun I do pub quiz at the bitter end and play kickball.

Doc came across an old SKN/KDR football game picture. Of course, SKN won!

Tom Medovitch - "Where are they now?"

After college, I started up a Real Estate Financing firm and ran it for 5 years until the housing market pretty much tanked. I sold the company to another financial institution and decided to take a road less traveled and joined the U.S. Marine Corps. I just got off active orders last month and am now a member of the active reserves. I just started a job working at Westinghouse. Currently settled in Pittsburgh...hopefully for a long while, awaiting my units next deployment. Attached is a picture of me last fall in Ft. Leonard Wood, Mo, at our MOUT (Marine Operations in Urban Terrain) training facility.

Hope all is well,

Tom Medovitch

Josh Tech - "Where are they Now?"

Hey Everyone, so I guess it is my turn to give you a little insight into what I have been up to over the past years, so here it goes.

Immediately after school, I worked for just over a year developing parts for some of the GM vehicles made in the Lordstown and Morain assembly plants. That allowed me to shortly thereafter get offered a job in SC working on exterior development for BMW. The X5, X6, and new X3 (the Z4 was, but has since moved back to Germany) are all built just outside of Greenville, SC which is where I primarily reside now. They are American made so feel free to pick one up!!!

I started as a production engineer, and now am currently responsible for the manufacturing engineering department that oversees development of the fender module, front fascia module, rear fascia module, and various other exterior plastic parts. Its has been a pretty rewarding experience; I have been able to travel all over (especially to Europe and Mexico many times), and to see your work driving around every day is pretty cool.

Those of you that remember me from college always knew I was always into "pimping" my car as we used to say LOL. Well, I also kept doing that but on a whole different level by specializing in high end cars and doing that as a side business. My personal cars have won almost every major award, and have actual won many national championships in different sanctioning organizations for the over past 6 years.

Other than that I am still into enjoying life......sometimes too much maybe as I am told on a regular basis. I live in Greenville during the week lets say, but spend the majority of my weekends in Charlotte, NC or Orlando, Fl; with frequent trips to Atlanta, Miami, and Las Vegas of course. Always have to be where the fun is or the beach of course.

In terms of other random things:

- My parents and my two youngest siblings still live in Erie, but I really don't get back to Erie more than once a year (usually for Christmas).

- Still somehow no kids to speak of (for which I am sure the world is thankful for). But definitely not from lack of practice :-)

- No pets either as they would probably die from neglect since I tend to leave for weeks at a time

- I have owned 11 high end cars since leaving school

- I finished up my masters (MBA) degree just over 3 years ago......keeping that in my back pocket for when I might need it some day

- And any crazy story that you might have heard is probably true LOL

If any of you have facebook feel free to look me up (simply search for Josh Tech) and keep in touch

Hope you all are doing well!!!!!

Clay Robeson - "Where are they Now?"

Clay (bro CLAAAAY!! FA89 Behrend) finally graduated in December of 1996,
and moved himself to Boston where he toiled in the world of Subsidized
Housing as a HUD Auditor for several years. To keep himself from going
insane, he started taking improv classes at one of Boston's big Improv
theaters. Eventually he went on to perform and teach professionally with
them until 2003 when he decided to shuck his corporate shackles for more
creative pursuits and return to his native California.

Cashing in his savings, he took a year to focus on photography (a hobby
he picked up just prior to the first of his two trips to Nepal [2001 and
2003]) and ended up self publishing his first book of photos in 2005
(http://photography.ClayRobeson.net). Sticking with the creative world,
Clay started his own video production company and worked on smaller
scale projects with the occasional one-off big deal (a web commercial
for the Dial corporation and a series of web shorts for Mobile Complete)
as well as some roles in front of the camera including Perfect Proposal
on The Learning Channel, Who Shot Jessee James on the History Channel,
Torrent on G4 Tech TV and about 7 seconds of screen time in High School
Musical 3. The need for a steady paycheck, however, led him into the
world of fine dining and Italian Wine. He spent 4 years as the assistant
manager and Sommelier of La Pastaia, a 4 star Italian restaurant in San
Jose.

In October of 2009, an old friend from Penn State called him up with a
job proposal, and starting that December he went to work for Philips
Healthcare in their Patient Care and Clinical Informatics sector working
in the Software Customer Service division leading their Communications
group. He now lives in San Francisco, and keeps up his performance
chops by working with the Un-Scripted Theater Company
(http://un-scripted.com) doing shows like The Great Puppet Bollywood
Extravaganza (Improvised Puppet Bollywood-style Musical) and Secret
Identity Crisis (Improvised Graphic Novel/Superhero story), is working
on a sci-fi drama web series with puppets (http://galaxyscouts.net), and
can't keep a girlfriend to save his life (probably because he spends so
much time working with puppets).

It's been a while...

Wow... I have not blogged since last summer. I am thinking about bringing back the "Where are they now?" series that last appeared in the newsletter several years ago. Be on the lookout for an email or Facebook request from me.

Last Reminder for Frankie G Fund

Oh Brothers dear

we're gathered here.

Sigma Kappa Nu

With hearts alive

and full of cheer.

Sigma Kappa Nu

We've come far

from east and west.

From prairies and

from mountain crests.

The land has given up it's best

to Sigma Kappa Nu

Dear Brothers,

This is the final reminder to those who would like to add to Sigma Kappa Nu's donation to the Frank Galioto memorial fund. We have been collecting funds in the months since our dear friend, Frankie G, passed unexpectedly. Brother Slide pledged in the Fall of 1987... part of the famous class known as the "pledges from hell". He leaves behind his wife Melanie (they met at SKN), and two young daughters (Lauren and Anna). We have raised over $1000 so far; this money will go to help the family through this difficult time.

Please consider sending in a donation in memory of Frankie G, who meant so much to our fraternity. The deadline to send in donations is this Friday, July 16th. Tommy will keep the account open until July 30th; any donations received after that date will be returned.

If you would like to make a donation, send a check made out to the Frank Galioto Memorial Fund to:

Tom Ammons
103 Penns Lane
Douglassville PA 19518

*** ALSO ***

Melanie has asked that we send her written memories of Frank from his years in Sigma Kappa Nu:

"...a collection of stories about Frank from people that knew him.

That way we can read and remember. Would you mind
helping? Could you get the word out to the fraternity brothers and they
could send to me via email: laugh@laughyourselfphilly.com.

...funny but somewhat cleaned up since the girls will be hearing them/reading them at some point.

Thanks for your help!"

Please help her out, and send in your best Frankie G story.

Thanks!
