Marjorie Vogelbach Pond, Lindsay Volgelbach Gavin, and Nancy Cook Motler remain the best of friends. Nancy had a wonderful visit with Marjorie and children Drew and Catherine last summer. In August they spent time with Lindsay, husband Jack, and son Alex in Saratoga Springs, where Nancy and her husband own a small house purchased when daughter Becky ’02 was a student. Becky returned home to Pennsylvania, where her business, Betsy’s Boobie Bags, is taking off. (See “People & Projects” in spring Scope.)

Polly Vail Walsh is a consultant and trainer with the US Small Business Administration. Her most interesting students, she says, are people “transforming their lives from welfare to self-employment.”

Nancy Andrews Dyer stays in touch with RuthAnn Wood McSpadder and Sue Flanagan; they are planning a special celebration for the big 50 this year and are looking forward to their 30th reunion.

Christine Wright Hanley’s daughter Christina ’06 is enjoying the pursuit of environmental science and rowing for the crew team, and is happily ensconced in local life.

Jill Rosenheim Hurwitz’s family spent the holidays in West Africa, where Jill served in the Peace Corps from 1976 to 1979. She teaches pottery and French in Highland Park, IL.

Kimberly Mensel Majczan’s daughter Allison graduated from Villanova University last May. Caitie visited Skidmore, but decided on Towson University in Maryland, where she is a freshman. Abbey is a high-school junior. Kim and husband Bob celebrated their 25th anniversary and Kim’s 50th birthday with a wonderful trip to Hawaii—so wonderful, in fact, that they bought a timeshare on Poipou Bay.

Matthew Rosen moved from his hometown of Cincinnati to Columbus, OH, to take a job as general and human resources manager at THK Manufacturing of America, his third time working for a Japanese company. Matt and his wife have three kids, the youngest of whom is 18 months old and having eating problems that necessitated several trips to the Cleveland Clinic. Happily, she is much better.

After a fall sabbatical from her work at Boston University, Eileen Crowley Sullivan researched and participated in a Preparing Tomorrow’s Teachers for Technology grant. In regular contact with Betsy Davis Jamison and Vicki Farrell Lyons ’77, she also reconnected with Tucson, AZ, resident Alison Shattes McLaughlin.

Hermione Cox McNeil informed us that she is not an assistant principal in Jersey City Schools (that was a prior position), as published in the winter issue of Scope, but rather a central office administrator.

Gwenn Milewski Neville, husband Mark, and daughter Emily have relocated to Rochester, MN, where Mark is director of foundation and corporate relations for the Mayo Foundation. Notes Gwenn, “All the years of listening to Garrison Keillor have finally come in handy.” Emily is a seventh-grader who swims competitively and has taken up snowboarding.
