Lynne Knobel, Patricia McAuley Kolff, Ellen Pomeranz Sax, Deanna Dunham Lytell, and Lynne Tower Combs, accompanied by friends and spouses, met on campus in July for a program with biology professor Corey Freeman-Gallant, the first recipient of the Class of 1964 Chair for Leadership in the Sciences. The two-day session include a classroom lecture delivered by Freeman-Gallant and three former students who’d done collaborative research with him, as well as time in the field observing and banding the common yellowthroat. These small warblers are often sexually promiscuous, as proven by Freeman-Gallant’s DNA analysis of the offspring. One of the questions under study is why and how the female chooses different mates. This program was the first in what is hoped to be many opportunities to meet with “our” professor for an ongoing educational experience at Skidmore.

Decorative painter Theodora Smyth Page’s work was featured in the artist’s magazine Home Companion this past summer. She spent the fall working on a furniture show in Providence, RI. Daughter Rachel is pursuing a graduate degree in evolutionary biology at the University of Texas. Son Sam is married, lives in Burbank, CA, and does digital set design for the movies. His latest project was that sleek airplane in Flight Plan. Husband Toby retired from teaching environmental economics at Brown in December. The family traveled to Kenya together on a
safari last June—“our first time back to Africa since the Peace Corps.”
