1997 — Part-Time

	John Coyle ‘97 and his daughter Katelina in Deer Valley, Utah

After four years of Midwestern semi-rural bliss,John Coyle and his family moved to Chicagoland last June. "I had been commuting for over a year from Madison, Wisc., and we finally gave in and moved to the big city," he reported. "My wife, Shannon, daughter Katelina (7) and I now live in Streamwood, a suburb sandwiched between Elgin and Schaumburg. We chose it in part due to our proximity to a 40 square-mile nature preserve with a paved 9.2 mile bike loop (Shoefactory Woods). I'm still at U.S. Cellular in marketing there. Like the last few years, I'm gearing up for another summer of bike racing. I entered 32 races last summer and even as I head toward my 40th birthday, I'm still able to compete with the full-time professionals, even if I didn't actually win any races last year. Also, I've joined the athlete council for the 2016 Chicago Olympic bid, which has been interesting and rewarding. Confidence is high that we may win. We'll find out next year!"

Dave Schmidt survived the longest winter he can remember — "or maybe it's just that I'm getting older," he admits. "Now that I'm a converted Cubs fan (though I still root for the Pirates when they play one another), wife Kathleen, daughters Kaitlyn (1), newborn Kelsey and I will be cheering on the Cubs. Until winter-like weather finally passes, I have our sunroom equipped with extra lamps, a heater and Cubs banners. Now I just need some ivy!"

Mona Aossey moved from New Jersey to New York City and is working as a finance director for Pfizer Pharmaceuticals. "I live on Central Park West on the Upper West Side. I'm still single, and have been traveling a lot and enjoying life!"
