Author and food historian Peter Rose recently published her seventh book, Food, Drink, and Celebrations of the Hudson Valley Dutch. It is her third book on the subject of the Dutch influence on the American kitchen. A national and international lecturer, she has been the guest of numerous galleries with Dutch art, including the National Gallery, the Smithsonian Institution, and the Houston Museum of Fine Arts.

Last March Andrew Bernstein was a guest on C-SPAN. A city-hall reporter for the Saratogian newspaper in Saratoga Springs, Andrew was discussing the closely fought special election to replace upstate Congresswoman Kristen Gillibrand, who was named to the US Senate seat vacated by Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.

Chris Bendann is “having a blast” as a learning specialist and teaching sixth-grade geography at his former middle school in Baltimore, MD.

Glenna Martin is attending the University of Washington’s school of medicine in Seattle this fall. She hopes some of her Skidmore friends will be able to make a trip out to visit her.

Dave Roush is finishing up his job as an intake worker at a behavioral health-care center, practicing classical guitar, and pre­paring for his teaching-assistant position for the Johns Hopkins University’s Center for Talented Youth summer programs. He will be the TA for the “Cognition” class at CTY’s Skidmore College site and is very excited about somewhat surreal reminiscing and learning new skills.

I am still working at the guitar shop in my town and am now in charge of setting up and organizing our Friday open-mike nights in the store. I was accepted into several graduate schools and will be attending Southern Connecticut State—for a master of science in communication disorders. I’m very excited to be going back to school.
