Spring 2010 The Avonian
since I have written in, but I have five children ranging in age from 33 to 6. My son Ben is also an Avonian, from the Class of 1995. We are all doing well. I live in Elma, New York, outside of Buffalo, and am president/executive director of the Buffalo Mission Society, Inc. We run the region’s largest men’s, women’s, and family homeless and recovery facilities in Western New York. I ran international sales departments for two Fortune 500 companies and traveled all over the world for 35 years, but nothing is more rewarding than seeing a man or woman beat their addiction and become a participating and contributing member of society. It’s great to see Avon doing so well and I send my best to all my old classmates (and they are all old now). Looking at some of the fresh faces of today’s Avonians, it is hard to believe we ever looked like that. God bless you all! I am proud to be an Avonian.”
H ank Coons sends greetings from campus during his 34th year at Avon and is looking forward to the Class of 1971’s 40th Reunion in May of 2011. He encourages everyone in the class to mark their calendars now for the big event. Daughter Christina is finishing her fourth year at the Perkiomen School in Pennsburg, Pennsylvania, where she teaches in the middle school and coaches field hockey and lacrosse. Brittany Coons is loving life in the Russian Hill neighborhood of San Francisco and works for Amica Mutual Insurance as an adjuster and recruiter. She was recently engaged. Casey ’07 is finishing up his junior year at St. Lawrence University, where he is majoring in math and economics with a minor in environmental science. He plays attack on the Saints lacrosse team, which has won four consecutive Liberty League titles and has advanced to the NCAA tournament each of the past three seasons.
