Judith Testa taught a course in early Italian Renaissance art at Northern Illinois University; she also does freelance writing on Italian art and culture. Her biography of a famed pitcher with the New York Giants and Brooklyn Dodgers, Sal Maglie: Baseball’s Demon Barber, was published in 2006. Maglie was famous for giving hitters “close shaves” with his high inside pitches. The book
is dedicated to her favorite Skidmore professor, Bill Brynteson, who died while the book was in progress, but who had encouraged her in this project. Earlier she had contributed an article to a Festschrift—a 700-page volume of essays that came out in 2006—and attended its presentation in New York City. Judy spends two months each year in Rome.

Pamela Ness, a full-time commercial and residential appraiser, is a member of the board of directors of the South Carolina Professional Appraiser Coalition as well as many other organizations.

Sarah Knight Erlij loves retirement and frequently visits grandchildren in California and Ohio.
She travels to Mexico monthly, and husband David has a visiting professorship at Graduate Research Institution. Other destinations include Italy, the UK, and Uzbekistan.

Priscilla Soffer Hoffnung’s son is a doctor in a Chicago emergency room. In June he and his wife welcomed Priscilla’s first grandchild, Isaac. Priscilla rowed in the Head of the Charles Regatta
this year—in a quad, which she says was “lots of fun. The best part is, the older I get, the better the handicap.”

I am making good progress in my consulting firm, the Office of Workmen’s Compensation Programs. My lawyer-clients are located in California, Pennsylvania, Ohio, New Jersey, New
York, and North Carolina. A member of the OWCP litigation workgroup, I was asked to speak to the group on psychiatric claims as well as navigating the government system.
