Mary Loveland Wasserman’s four children (two bios and two steps) are all grown and spread out over the country: Boston; Nashua, NH; Denver; and Pittsburgh. The kids come home occasionally to visit Mary and her husband, whose five-bedroom Vermont home can accommodate them. The couple has no grandchildren yet, but cares for three granddogs. They celebrated their 20th anniversary in the fall. Mary works at the UVM Extension and cares for her 96-year-old mother in the evenings. An inveterate gardener, she designed two more gardens (there are seven now) on their five-acre lot this summer. Mary recently celebrated her 60th birthday and declares, “Life is good.”

Carolyn Bates joined an international group that helps photographers navigate the world of digital cameras. She also worked for the Kerry presidential campaign. Carolyn’s neighborhood is populated with a large number of five-year-olds and boasts a secret pumpkin, who visited a few houses with treats this past November.

Jane Aberman Baringer and husband Jim spent a fall weekend in Portsmouth, NH, with their son, daughter-in-law, and granddaughter. Older daughter Kirsten, who completed a master’s in landscape design, drove in from western Massachusetts to join the family. Jane’s youngest child, Caitlin, has been studying film and working in southern California. The Baringers are building a small vacation/retirement home near Whiteface Mountain. Jane is starting her fourth year teaching English as a second language to adults, a late-in-life profession she describes as “a pure delight.” A passionate gardener, she also advises others for the East End Community Organic Farm.

Lynn Sacks Auster celebrated her 60th birthday and her sixth anniversary as a stem-cell transplant recipient. Son Scott, wife Aly, and daughters Shayna, 3, and Kylie, 1, came for a visit. Son Daniel, wife Kim, and son Dalton, 1, are moving to Charleston, SC.

Catherine Sweet Winslow is chair of visual arts and film at the Greater Hartford Academy of the Arts in Connecticut. She and husband Carlton have lived in their Lake Pocotopaug home in East Hampton for 30 years. Catherine’s artwork was included in the show Trashformation—featuring artists who use recycled materials—at the Fullercraft Museum in Brockton, MA, this past fall. The Winslows’ daughter lives in Port Clyde, ME, where she and her husband run the Port Clyde Kayak Company as well as a coffee business, Hawaiian Volcano Coffee.com. Their son and his wife live in Middletown, CT, where they are active in community and environmental issues.

Oakland, CA, resident Lynn Lavorgna McCrea visited daughter Melanie, a junior at Wesleyan, during parents weekend in October. Melanie “loves it there.”

Marjorie Sherwood Freeman spent a wonderful August weekend at a bed and breakfast in Rockport, MA, with nine high-school friends. They celebrated their 60th birthdays with a “pajama party,” whale-watching, window-shopping, sunbathing, and plenty of food and wine. Marjorie organized three teams for the National Alliance for Autism Research (NAAR) Walk for FAR (Family and Friends for Autism Research). Forty-four people on the teams attended the walk and raised $2,500. Teams were “Drumming for Danny,” Marjorie and husband Richard’s 17-year-old son.
