Jane Nordli retired after 20 years as a music teacher in Weston, CT, but is hardly resting. She coaches for Harvard in a program called WIDE World of Online Learning, coaches another called Teaching for Understanding and Differentiation, and was a presenter last summer at Harvard’s Project Zero Classroom. Her two grandchildren continue to delight her, and she visits occasionally with Michelle Cherney Gillett and Barbara Griffin-Powell.

Emeline Kimball Crawford and husband Jim are busy tending 30-plus acres of organically grown vegetables on their 95-acre New Morning Farm in south-central Pennsylvania. They have been farming there since 1976. Moie will be featured in an upcoming American Girl book profiling women who have unusual or particularly interesting occupations. The book is aimed at girls ages 8 to 13, and Moie says this is “the greatest of honors to me, to be held up as an example to little girls.” Much to her daughter Janie’s dismay, there will not be an associated wardrobe (although stained T-shirts, baggy pants, and Muk boots were her suggestion). Moie has a farmstand in Dupont Circle, where she can be found every Sunday from May to Thanksgiving. Sherry Snyder and Maxine Isaacs have been customers. Moie welcomes anyone in the area to come on by.

Having just finished her first year as marketing and PR director at the YMCA of Greenville, SC, Dusty Deming says it is a “great job!” Still painting, she held a joint show with three other artists. Dusty says, “Greenville is a lovely, comfortable, small city and any classmates headed this way are welcome.” You can contact her at ddeming@ymcagreenville.org.

After many years living in NYC and Sag Harbor, Eve Dashe Matisoff relocated to a small town in Litchfield County, CT, and lives in a home that was built to look like it was created in the 1700s. With a tiny pond and stream, stone walls, and acres of woods, Eve feels like she lives in “a Currier and Ives engraving.” She has been happily married for three years to Alan Matisoff, who is in the insurance business. Eve works in the bio-oncology group at Genentech. She is also on the board of the VNA Northwest. Daughter Cindy lives on Long Island and is the mother of Jordan, 4, and Dylan, 17 months. Eve thinks often of nursing classmates and would love to hear from anyone.

Carol Bogardus, married in 2005 to a wonderful man she met at the Burbank (CA) Airport while
on a business trip, insists, “You never know when or where love will find you.” Her first granddaughter was born in 2006, and Carol is “hopelessly in love with her.” Carol is employed by Amgen, a biotechnology company headquartered in southern California. She gets up to the Bay area often to see two grown sons, their mates, and grandbaby. While there, she often receives a warm welcome at the home of Barbara Herbert von der Groeben. “Our friendship has endured since our Skidmore days,” says Carol.
