Alumni Sweethearts 1990s

Maciulewicz
Mark Maciulewicz '97 and Pam Maciulewicz '93, '96

Mark was interested in transferring to Lewis and while on campus visiting other friends, Mark stopped by a "gathering" at Julie (Wolf) Ferin's '97, huge triple in Sheil Hall. Pam and Mark started talking and had their first date the next night. Almost two years later, Julie was their maid of honor. Mark and Pam have been married for 14 years and have a 7 year old son - Mac.

 

Laura (Kunka) O'Donnell '96 and Kevin O'Donnell '95

We became very good friends after we repaired a roof together in Appalachia on a Lewis service trip at the end of our freshman year. We began dating during our junior year, and almost two years after graduation, on June 28, 1997 we returned to Lewis to get married in the chapel where we had spent so much time.

 

Steven Wright '94 and Donna (Richards) Wright '94

We met when we were freshmen in the fall of 1990.  Donna was playing girls flag football that was coordinated through the intramural department.  It was held on the baseball field.  Steve saw me playing and inquired who I was.  Later we met at the Flyers Den on campus (when it was a bar).  I was not interested in him at the time.  I saw Steve on a couple other occasions.  On the day I was going home for Christmas break, I visited Steve.  He was going to take a final exam.  I didn't stay long, but he stuck in my mind over break.  I had gone skiing in Colorado and sent him a postcard to his school mailbox.  Upon receiving it, Steve sought me out and we hooked up.  Steve attended law school at Loyola University after graduation.  We were engaged on November 23rd, 1996 and married on December 6, 1997.  We have three children and presently live in Plainfield.

 

Mike-and-Holly-Zegadlo 
Mike Zegadlo ’96,’02 & Holly Zegadlo ’97

We met in 1990 when we were both in high school – separate, all-boys and all-girls Catholic high schools on the south side of Chicago. We stayed together during our years as students at Lewis and, after graduating, we both got hired by Lewis in student affairs. On July 17, 1997 we were married in the Sancta Alberta Chapel on a 90 degree summer day (before the chapel had air-conditioning).We were the first residents to move into North Hall when it opened, occupying the staff apartment on the top floor. Our family was the last family to occupy 400 Faculty Lane, now the home of Alumni Relations.After leaving Lewis for about a decade, I came back in 2011 to help start the police department. Our oldest daughter, Natalie, is considering attending Lewis as a Freshman in Fall of 2016. If she does, she'll be a third generation Zegadlo to study at Lewis, starting with my father, Bob Zegadlo, in 1958.
