Sheena Dee Pauley enjoyed seeing everyone last year at Reunion. She is building a new home in Chagrin Falls, OH, with an Amish crew and says there will be plenty of guest rooms for classmates passing through the Cleveland area. It is in horse country and she can hear the coyotes howling at night. Sheena is assistant VP at PNC Bank Foundation.

Beth Skudder
and husband Chris Job­son announce the birth of daughter Eliza on May 2, 2008. She joins Maisey, 6, and Ned, 4. Liza, who mom calls “a cheerful baby and silly little sister,” has already visited Skidmore. She accompanied Beth and Jill Ziter to a Dunkerley Dialogue held last October at the Tang Museum by Beth and Jill’s advisor, anthropology professor Sue Bender. The campus was beautiful on a crisp fall afternoon, and they enjoyed a quick bite in Saratoga. Beth says her love of reading is taking over her life. She can barely keep up with three book clubs she’s joined and she is also in the business of selling children’s books—stories for readers and listeners, young and old—at http://barefootinct.mybarefootbooks.com. Maisey, meanwhile, reads on her own.

Hazel Arroyo-Martinez and husband Luis, who is general consul of Nicaragua, live in Florida—in Miami and West Palm Beach. Hazel is an international liaison to potential investors touring Nicaragua, Costa Rica, and several other Latin American countries. She also trades commodities in the international market. The couple have a 16-year-old daughter, with whom they are discussing “car issues.” Hazel would love to hear from classmates at hazel­martinez@bellsouth.net or hiarroyo@hotmail.com.

Andrea Banbury and daughters, ages 6 and 8, have moved to Hong Kong, to accompany husband Alex,
a structural engineer, on a two-year assignment there. They will miss their friends in Berkeley, CA, but are excited about this new adventure. Andrea encourages anyone who lives in or is traveling to China to contact her at coxbanbury@gmail.com.
