Kathleen (Holden) Gioglio

After graduating from THS, attended business school.  Needed clerical skills for employment after taking academic courses!  Employed by Allied Chemical Corp. in NYC from 1959 until 1965.  Sal Tancredi (my New Dorp HS football hero) and I were married in 1962.  I left Allied in 1965 before our first son Michael was born.  Steven was born in 1968.  Then we became active in our church, teaching Sunday school, sponsoring a church softball team, many community  and  PTA school functions.  Sal and I were divorced in 1976, but life went on.  I was employed again, this time as an editor with Dun & Bradstreet.  (Our computer was connected to a main frame in NJ and the disks were the size of pizzas).  Michael joined the US Navy in 1983 retiring in 2006 as a Senior Chief.  He is now employed with the Government in a similar capacity.  Steve went to DeVry Institute and is employed by Boston Scientific installing digital electronics for heart oblation.  In 1976 I met my husband Len at the shore while vacationing with my sons.  We had a Dear Abby relationship until 1986 when we finally married and moved to Barnegat, near Long Beach Island, but inland.  I worked at Noah’s Ark Day School with the preschoolers and in the office while Len was a Correction Officer in Middlesex County.  Talk about opposite ends of the spectrum.  We are both retired now, very involved with our grandchildren, enjoying a year round vacation.
