Roxanne Bresko Potosky is nearing the end of a 30-year career with the National Security Agency. Her husband of 25 years, Mel, is also with the agency. Daughter Katherine graduated from the University of Virginia with plans to attend law school; daughter Natalie is still a U.Va. student. Roxanne and her family have traveled and worked abroad quite a bit, and she has developed a passion for horseback riding. During her government career, she had the pleasure of working with a number of Mary Washington alumni: Sally Seward ’74, Karen Laino ’71 and Faith Lynch Johnson ’77, as well as classmates Marybeth Deuel Davis and Jane Barnes Thall.

Bill Janis finished graduate school in economics at U.Va. in 1980 and took his first professional job with the U.S. Department of Commerce. He moved to Manassas in 1981 and married the following year. He now commutes by Virginia Railway Express to work in Washington, D.C., where he serves as an agricultural economist for the Foreign Agricultural Service of the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Daughter Catherine is at Oberlin College, and son Jonathan returned home last summer after a year studying Spanish in Argentina.

Frederica Gibson lives in Dallas with her dog and two cats and works as the accounts payable manager for a company that designs medical documentation systems for emergency rooms. Last May, she returned to Virginia to see her nephew graduate from high school. Lucy Walters Bonacquist lives in Ankara, Turkey. Patti Morris Cox reports that son Paul graduated from the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill in May, and daughter Lauren was to graduate this month from Emory University’s physician’s assistant graduate school.
