Becky Swaney Kasperzak toured Skidmore in August with daughters Hannah, 17, and Maude, 15. Seeing all the mature landscaping and new buildings, Becky felt like “a familiar stranger.” Both girls loved Skidmore (thanks to a great student guide) and the city of Saratoga—which they considered “happening,” as it was so crowded with track visitors. Becky observes, “Life as a Midwest housewife continues to be the most fabulous job ever.”

Donna Bush Wyatt lives in Atlanta, GA, with husband Gordy. Son Gordy-Michael attends Miami University of Ohio. Daughter Caitlin attends Boston University. On a recent trip to Boston, the Wyatts had a wonderful evening with Jayne Young VanWinkle and husband Matthew, who live there.

Ellen Flight celebrated her 25th year working for Keewaydin and Songadeewin children’s summer camps in Salisbury, VT.
