Ursina Amsler earned a master’s in art education from Massachusetts College of Art this past fall. The mother of two also took to the stage this year as Babette (the feather-duster–wielding French maid) in Disney’s Beauty and the Beast, produced by Marblehead Little Theatre. Lumiere, the romantic male lead, was played by husband Erik.

Gaby Gold received her master’s degree in educational theater, with certification to teach K–12 drama, from New York University last May. She is a second-grade teacher at PS 19 in the East Village in Manhattan, where they have debuted some of her original songs at schoolwide assemblies. Ever busy, Gaby was sponsored for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society and ran the Vancouver Marathon. She was a finalist for the second year in a row for the BMI Musical Theatre Writing Workshop. She is currently at work on several writing projects and hopes to spend the summer producing her plays and publishing her books for children.

Mity Lenahan Fowler ran into Betsy Olson, wife of Brett Olson, while making a nursery-school
run in London and wearing her Skidmore 10th-reunion vest. Mity has also run into Erica Sweetland Morris picking her daughter up from school in Kensington, only blocks from where
Mity and her family live. Mity says, “Here we are an ocean away, and Skidmore still is bonding!”

Eric Karofsky and wife Kimberly welcomed son Brooks in January; he joins brothers Matthew, 5, and Spencer, 4.
