Class Of 1972

Alumni Ambassador: Ace Ernst, acemd@verizon.net

Ilona Toth Conolly H’72 writes, “After leaving Flint Hill in the 6th grade, I attended public school before attending the University of Virginia. Being in the 2nd class of women attending the school was not easy by any means! Planned to go to medical school, but while working at UVA hospital, I decided that being woken up at all hours of the night was not for me and opted for the opposite end of the spectrum — American government and foreign affairs. Instead of going to law school, I launched into a career in real estate finance that took me to a title company

(conducting real estate closings), an S&L that was placed in receivership (construction loan management), the Maryland Deposit Insurance Fund Corporation and Resolution Trust Corporation performing asset management activities and managing copious numbers of foreclosures, bankruptcies and director and officer liability cases. Eventually landed in the multifamily division of Freddie Mac where I spent 18 years in real estate asset management and proprietary systems development. Having spent my entire career in real estate, and finance, but not wanting to continue working full-time, I’ve decided to launch myself into real estate sales. The last chapter has yet to be written…”
