Amy Heinichen Liss and husband Ken have two adorable boys: Patrick 5, and Benjamin, 2. While their kitchen undergoes a major renovation in their home in Minneapolis, MN, they’ve been escaping to their second home in Lunenburg, Nova Scotia. “Life with two active boys is fun, chaotic, and never dull.”

Donna Boscarino Marino and husband Bob are happy and healthy. Their “children” are a pair of kittens named Baci and Bisou, which they got recently after losing their 16-year-old cats Clouseau and Kato to kidney disease. Donna continues to work in career services at Skidmore, and is happy to advise any alumni regarding career development, job searching, or graduate school.

Kristen Miller Bartlett lives in Easton, CT, with husband David and children Nicholas, 10, Sam, 8, and Robert, 5. Kristen works part-time for a cultural exchange child-care program. The job and the boys keep her very busy.

Barrie Davidson Deschaine was promoted to assistant to the president of public relations at Konover Construction, where she has been employed for almost 20 years. She and her husband travel often and recently returned from Scotland; they played golf at St. Andrews. They are currently touring Munich and Italy, where they plan to purchase a car. Barrie says that “life doesn’t get any better!”

Vinny Catalano and his family visited Greece this summer. Son Tim is a high-school freshman.

Joseph Leigh and Donielle Offerman ’84 live in Ramsey, NJ, with son Jake, 14, a high-school freshman and two-time New Jersey Junior League champion, and daughter Jessie, 11, a clarinet player and painter who is learning Hebrew. Joe owns an advertising agency in Englewood. Donielle teaches nursery school in Wycoff, and creates custom commissioned furniture.

Renee Gusman Mack and her husband live in Havertown, PA, with sons Andrew, 13, and Alex, 9, who both play soccer and basketball. When not being a “soccer mom,” she is a full-time case manager at a physical medicine rehab center, working mostly with spinal-cord–injured patients. She still keeps in touch weekly with freshman roommate Erika Prufer Lamb.

Dave Baroff expatriated from Portland, OR, to Canada in 2004 and is completing a program to become a registered massage therapist in British Columbia. He lives in Northern Cascadia with his wife and their two sons. The move was prompted by a belief that “the implosion of the global capitalist system will be especially nasty in the States. Plus, one can only take so much pepper spray when attempting to exercise the Constitutional right to demonstrate against imperialism and corporate capitalism.”

An update on Doug Hartnett’s legal career: In Washington, DC, he is a partner in Elitok & Hartnett at Law LLC, “a client-centered firm specializing in immigration, employment, and lobbying.”

After leaving a career in graphic design, Linda Van Epps Grenier began teaching seven years ago. She enjoys spending summers at a camp on Ossipee Lake with her husband and their son Ryan, 5.
