Reunion Committee

Left to Right

Allison Bies: Allison works at the Schaumburg Township District Library coordinating children's programs. Activities include running, reading, and bargain-hunting. She is detail-oriented, so reunion planning is an appropriate extra-curricular activity.

Kari (Vermilion) Pantol: After high school, Kari spent many years in undergrad and grad school trying to figure out what she wanted to do with her life. She has since chosen fundraising and worked at various cultural institutions in Chicago. She now works at a local Community College in the vicinity of her home in Minooka, IL that she shares with her husband Steve. She enjoys gardening, seeing plays, beer tasting, traveling, and wants to learn to knit.

Laura (Blum) Thorson: Since graduating college, Laura has been developing her career in the field of clinical research. In early 2005, she married Greg Thorson (Conant Class of ’98). They have settled in Schaumburg and are expecting their first child this October. She is looking forward to reconnecting with some of her old classmates and finding out what everyone has been up to these past 10 years.

Amy (Fraser) Christie: Amy earned a business degree from Bradley University in 2003 and a paralegal certificate from Loyola University in 2004. She is currently employed as a legal assistant for the Social Security Administration. In her free time she enjoys biking, reading, scrapbooking, tennis, and watching the White Sox and Blackhawks. She lives in New Lenox with her husband Nick and their parrot Finley.
