St. Ethelreda Class of 1959

Joan Challingsworth Goliak

What's Going On Now:

I attended Academy of Our Lady and Chicago Teachers College graduating in 1966 and worked in Chicago at Gresham School, Curtis Elementary, and Gunsaulus Academy during the 35 years of teaching. I retired in 2003 and retirement has been zooming by.

I am so busy that I wonder how I had time to work. I tell people that after retirement I took up painting, only it is the wall and ceiling variety along with tree and plant moving in my garden.

I married Jim Goliak in 1971 and have 2 children, Ann and Bill. We live in Evergreen Park and I volunteer on a local governmental committee so I keep meeting people and again staying busy. I work part time for a teacher training program in environmental education and I am happy to be involved in that.

I am enjoying getting in touch with old friends and acquaintances.
