Peter HeidClass Of...1974 Years Attended1970-1974 About MeI am currently in my 9th year of teaching high school chemistry and living in Mundelein Illinois. I do not get to Erie much. I moved away in 1978 but miss "home" very much. After our first week of school as freshmen and complaining to my friend Mike about having a 6 day school week, Br. Peter (or was it Br. Frank) in passing cautioned us that that this time would pass quickly--and it has. School NotesI was editor of the paper and in the drama and glee clubs. Since Graduation...Gannon class of 1978 B.S. Chemistry
Univ of Notre Dame class of 1981 M.S. Chemistry
Benidictine University class of 2003 MA Ed.
I am married (for 25 years) to Mary Jane Murawski of Glenview Illinois, she is a nurse. I was a research chemist at Stepan Company in Northfield Illinois for 20 years and now am a high school chemistry teacher at Wauconda High School in Wauconda Illinois. I am returning(I hope) the inspiration shared with me by "Prof" John Kolasa of a love for teaching and love of chemistry and love of others in the chemistry lab almost 40 years ago.
