St. Ethelreda Class of 1959

Mary (Sue) Eberhardt Hurley

What's Going On Now:

Well, to start, I'm no longer married to Larry - nor to Al either for that matter. I married Al in 1998 and he was the best dancer!. It lasted till 2005 - after all, dancing isn't everything. My two kids are grown and I have twin granddaughters who are nine years old. One son (with the family) lives in St. Louis area, and the other lives near Green Bay, WI.

In 1993, tired of traveling, I quit the property management business and took a mind-numbing job at the MGM Grand as a Room Service server. In Vegas the only jobs that make money are service jobs - unless you are a hooker or a star. Aspiring to neither, I swallowed my pride and thanked the tourists who were generous. I retired from the MGM in Dec. 2007.

For the last several years I have been learning the web biz. In 2004 I created an online information site for Mesquite, NV called MesquiteLocal.com. By 2006 I had formed an LLC with 2 newspaper folks in Mesquite and we expanded my local informational website to the only daily news source in Mesquite. That led to publishing a weekly printed newspaper called, of course, Mesquite Local News. In late 2007, we joined with another LLC to publish the first glossy magazine in Mesquite. In November, 2007 I sold my interest in Mesquite Media Group to my two partners and joined the other LLC to concentrate on the magazine, Mesquite Lifestyle Magazine. We published until the January-February issue of 2009 and then the magazine became another casualty of the economic downturn.

Presently I design and publish websites and do email marketing for private clients. So, even though I am (technically) retired, I am back learning more computer graphics, keeping my computers buzzing, and just find that life takes turns one would never expect ... I'm still a little off-beat, my life is never boring, and I look forward to what life has to offer in the years ahead.
