Marian Stuart Eskijian




Marian Stuart, may very well have been the most active person in our entire school! Marian belonged to, and participated in so many school activities, that it is a miracle that she had the time to do anything else!


It is apparent that our fellow Alumni, Marian is just as active as ever!

Dear Ben, --------------- Thanks for sending this "blog" out to us. It was a great "blast from the past"!! My husband and I travel a lot, but Long Island is seldom on our itinerary anymore. Tomorrow we are flying to California to visit some of Greg's family. My Mom died in 1986 and Dad passed away here in Jefferson City in 1996. My brother Earl and his wife live in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida. We visit them is February and usually do a Caribbean cruise with them while we are there. I have two children and three grandchildren. As you say, they are my "life" now. Many thanks for all the information. Please keep in touch and I will come when I can. Marian (Stuart) E.

Class of 1959 Senior Banquet

Scotch Mist Inn, Southampton. (Double-Click on The Photo)
We had a great time. I can still see the Antique Metal Body Armor, and Swords that were on display. The Main lobby was decorated in stone reminiscent of a castle. Frequented by the rich and famous, the Scotch Mist Inn, was my first glimpse into the way the "Society Crowd," lived! To this day I could still recall the "energy," that made our evening, so very special!

If you double click on the photo, you will see a picture of one of the lovely bedrooms that were also part of the Scotch Mist Inn; To the best of my knowledge, not one room was used, which is a testimony to our up-bringing! What would happen today?
