A woefully incomplete list of Web pages with a connection to the late Villa, skewed, unfortunately, toward the years the authors attended...

Informal reunions of Villa alumni from the school's last years have been held erratically since Kevin DiPalma launched his Villa St. Jean site in the mid-1990s. Among the many photographs are those from June 2000 in Austin, Texas, September 1999 in Fribourg and May 2001 in San Antonio.
New link and photo suggestions accepted, especially those reflective of earlier Villa years and alumni. Please mail nominees to the VSJ vox site.
In addition, please feel free to comment and correct postings.
Or what you can do..
All: We'd like to hear from you. What have you done with your life since your last walk down Rue De Botzet decades ago? College? Career? Wife? Family? the full catastrophe..
Write us as much (or as little) as you'd like and mail it to the gmail account for this site: villastjean@gmail.com. And attach photos, too.
Be sure to identify yourself and your years at the Villa.
If you're feeling ambitious, sign up for a private (and free) account at vox.com.. Even if you do nothing more than establish a personal page with a photo of yourself, it will allow you to comment on this blog and retain your ID.
Aside from the "where are they now" feature, I'm particularly interested in anyone who might provide an account of the villa's final days. What was it like?
In the meantime, don't forget to bookmark the thorough history of the school at Wikipedia, as well as to Kevin's durable and deep original Villa alumni site.
