Su’s high school graduation photo

By Michael Mahler, on July 20th, 2009

My sister Su and Joyce Savocchio at my sister’s high school graduation from Strong Vincent High School in June of 1983. I believe that at the time that Joyce Savocchio may have been a principal at Strong Vincent High School. When I graduated in 1981, Savocchio had just been elected to her first term on Erie City Council. Oddly enough, I now live 2 to 3 blocks down the street from Strong Vincent.

My brother found this a few weeks ago, and this was the first chance I had to scan it in.

Su

Unfortunately the picture didn’t come through so I could look at it (which may be a good thing). As I remember it, she was still the AP History teacher then and I thought she got elected after I left.

The photo is also in my Flickr account (actually, that is where I pasted it in.) She might very well still have been a history teacher at that point. I know that she was first elected to City Council when I was there because I remember that was how I first got registered. Of course, people may have a job in addition to being an elected official.
