Christina Campanaro Juarez’s consultancy is thriving. She gives publicity and strategic business advice to upscale interior designers and home furnishing companies. Christina sees Roger Griswold and his wife, Stephanie, often. She also speaks to Adele Einhorn ’80 daily, and skis at Mt. Stratton with Adele and her husband, Jim Stover. Christina’s daughter Sofia, 16, attended the Junior Admissions Workshop at Skidmore in February.

The firm works with executives in Fortune 500 companies to improve speeches, presentations, and overall communication strategy.

Lori Tsoumakas Stanczyc is looking forward to Reunion, which coincides with her 20th wedding anniversary. Lori and husband Mike live in Avon, CT, with their three sons. The oldest is looking at colleges; the other two are in tenth and fifth grades. Lori recently won a state award for Youth Services Director of the Year. A licensed counselor, prevention specialist, and parent educator, she is director of the Youth & Family Services Bureau in Rocky Hill. Lori loves her work, but would like to live in Saratoga Springs.

Diane Bassett Zable runs the family business, Bassett Boat Company, which was named one of the Top 100 Woman-Led Businesses in Massachusetts last year and does over $50 million in sales annually. Her husband, Paul, is company VP. In addition to their administrative duties, the couple is raising three teenagers: Norell, 18, John, 16, and Ryan, 15.

While calling classmates to encourage them to attend Reunion, Bill Ladd discovered that Al Antonez has a two-year-old grandson. As Bill says, “Holy wombat, Batman!”

Susan Magrino Dunning is looking forward to Reunion. The owner of a PR firm in NYC, she has a regular stream of summer interns from Skidmore, and this year hired Katherine Hurd ’06 as an account coordinator in the travel division. Susan was recently in Miami at Art Basel with Michael Katz, who is also looking forward to Reunion. Last June, Susan was in Saratoga for the Class of 1982 reunion, where she saw Sara Nolan Arnell, Christine Jones Juneau, Sheri Lamoreaux, Sarita Oglebay Limbocker, Lisa Jewett, Jim Rossi, Jonathan O’Hara, and many others.

Life is good in Walnut Creek, CA. Husband David and I are preparing daughter Danielle for college next year, and son Jason goes to college in 2009. Ryan, 11, is looking forward to being an only child when his siblings leave! I am also looking forward to Reunion. Let’s work on a record turnout for our Class of ’83!
