Today's Featured Biography

 

 
Melissa Koenig Chakar


Okay, seriously....what was I thinking with that outfit for my Senior picture??!! The best of the bunch, however, was me posing with an ENORMOUS, red, inflatable crayon. Is "Reflections by Suzanne" still in business? Damn her creative vision!!! But, my 5 year old thinks it is the funniest picture she has ever seen. ;-)

I have been living in Neenah for the past 7 years. I came here with my now ex-husband, but I'm really fortunate that we are great friends. No ugly divorce scenario...which is so awesome for our two children, Natalie (5) and Marco (almost 3).

Believe it or not, I teach Composition (writing) at ITT Tech in Green Bay. Yes, I teach college students. (I got my Masters degree from GA State University in Atlanta in 2000.) Didn't make it to Broadway, but I do sing with some jazz combos on occasion in the Appleton area. I am also a volunteer driver with Meals on Wheels and am a member of the Neenah-Menasha Emergency Society.

I do keep in touch with a group of our "peeps," and I get to see Shelly Hutter and Kristin (Wanless) Runge on a regular basis. Kristin also lives in Neenah.

Can't wait to see all of you...I'll be the one with the big inflatable crayon.


FUTURE PLANS: Melissa will be attending Coe College in Cedar Rapids, Iowa majoring in musical theater.
10 YEARS DOWN THE ROAD: Melissa will be starring in the smash hit broadway musical "Final Net." In her spare time she will be at the Kone-head scientific laboraties researching a space age hairspray tough enough to endure the Fiat convertible test.


SURVEY RESULTS:

1. Melissa Celeste (Koenig) Chakar

2. 221 Stevens Street, Neenah, WI 54956

3. 920-205-7832

4. [email protected]

5. Single!

6. Natalie (5) and Marco (almost 3)

7. ITT Technical Institute, Composition Instructor

8. Honestly, I don't know how to answer this....I am so fortunate to have a fun, fabulous life with great friends. As corny as this sounds, everyday, to me, is extraordinary. I find the fun and humor in life, everyday.

9. The doughnuts that the Home Ec. class made/sold; study hall with Becky Humbracht; getting my first detention for skipping study hall with Becky and Scott Haas...we drove to Pizza Hut in Baraboo; psych class with Kristin Wanless and Scott Schmidlkofer; and all my fantastic memories from being in Show Choir.

10. I live to travel! I've been allover, but my absolute favorite place in the world is Paris, France. I'm going there for Thanksgiving in a couple weeks, for my third time. Paris is always a good idea.

11. Hobbies...wow....what are those? Just kidding....although, with young children, it's hard to find time for my stuff as well as theirs. However, I am truly up for anything. Very spontaneous. I mostly just love getting together with my friends. Travel. I also golf, quite poorly.

12. Moved....ugh! Too many! If I count colleges....Cedar Rapids, IA; Pittsburgh, PA; Madison; Atlanta, GA; Appleton; and currently, in Neenah.

13. My daughter's fish, Lenny.

14. I would love to see Kristen Magnesson....I believe she is still living in England.

15. Mr. Moe was a fave.

16. I have two stories that I remember....Scott Schmidlkofer faking a back injury to get out of an exam in Chemistry and Mr. Zebell wheeling him down to the office in his desk chair (which had wheels) because Scott was claiming he couldn't move. And, Prom Court...junior year....Becky Maier driving a van that didn't have a working door. We had to hold it shut with a rope. We dropped Kristin Wanless off at her parent's house and Becky took the cul-de-sac too fast to turn around and we couldn't hold the door shut because Shelly Hutter and Kim Eckstein were leaning against it. Shelly and Kim flew out the door...all we could see were hundreds of layers of prom skirts and shoes tipping backwards out the door.

17. I am a member of the Neenah-Menasha Emergency Society. We are a non-profit, run by 40 women and we provide financial assistance to people in need in the Neenah-Menasha area. I am a volunteer driver for Meals on Wheels. I do this once a month with a friend of mine. It is sooo much fun, and greatly rewarding. I'm also on the fundraising committee for Valley Academy of the Arts, a performing arts school in Neenah. Ugh....I need to learn how to say no.

18. I could be persuaded....

19. I'd like to write a novel; own a little apt. in Paris; and not to sound all 1950's here, but I would love to marry and/or be in a relationship with a fantastic guy who makes me laugh. And most importantly, see my children find their passion in life and lead ridiculously happy lives.
