For the last two years Trish Kaiser Niemitz and husband Jeff have been living in England, where he is directing a study-abroad program at the University of East Anglia for science students from Dickinson College, where he is a professor of geology. The first year has been “an amazing opportunity to experience a different culture, travel, slow down our lives, and renew our relationship,” says Trish. She has taken a leave of absence from her job as a school nurse and enjoys exploring, and hosting students for a weekly tea at their home. Daughter Rebecca is a registered dietician who teaches nutrition classes to elementary students in Durham, NC. Son Matt plans educational activities for the Joint Oceanographic Institutes in Washington, DC. Son Ben is a carpenter in Pennsylvania.

Jane Kreplick Brody and husband Sam visited Peggy Sager Tobin and husband Jim at their home in Asheville, NC. Jane was on sabbatical from the nursing department of Nassau Community College, where she is developing a program to help combat obesity in the college community. She and Peggy spent a morning being pampered at the Grove Park Inn Spa, followed by lunch with their husbands on the Sunset Terrace overlooking the Smoky Mountains.

Janice Baldwin is chair of the fine arts department at Stuart Country Day School in Princeton, NJ. An Equity actress performing in the Philadelphia area, she also sings with the Vincent Lopez Big Band. Daughter Arielle is a working artist in the Delaware Valley.

Genie Harper-Jones lost her husband in 2004 as a result of an accident involving a drunk driver. Genie is very proud of her girls—one is a freshman at Boston University; and the other is a high-school freshman. Both are talented in art.
