Mark your calendar for our milestone 40th reunion, May 31–June 3. Our class theme says it all: “Moving Ahead/Reflecting Back.” With lots of thought, planning, laughter, and elbow grease, our reunion volunteers are developing our best reunion ever! We encourage you to accept class president Sally Huling Hilderbrand’s challenge: “What’s your 40?” Send your images to me at choffman04@starband.net for the Class of ’67 Web page.

Laurie Massolo Deredita is director of special collections and archives at the Connecticut College library. In October she was honored to represent Skidmore at the inauguration of the 10th president of Connecticut College. “The gorgeous Skidmore robe—green with black stripes, cowl of green, gold, and white, and green cap with gold tassel—stood out in the colorful academic procession.”

Ann Dinwiddie Wing and husband Tom are both enjoying retirement in Columbia, MD. Ann is a volunteer with a group dedicated to preserving native plants. She and I are also high-school classmates, which makes for some interesting conversations.

Martha Hodgdon Bisbee, retired and living with husband Tom in Fayston, VT, had a two-week trip to Glasgow and environs in Scotland. Marty had a summer visit from Karen Marshall Bradford, who happened to be in nearby Burlington. Karen and Marty both plan to attend our 40th.

Candy Callahan Christoforides is retired from speech pathology work and lives in Barnard, VT. For many years she and her husband have operated a travel business that connects artists with painting instruction and critique, combined with experiences of chateau and village life in France.

Janet Bowen Glass and her husband have formally retired to their home in Thornton, NH, in the White Mountains. They are enjoying rural life.

We are in the midst of the school year in Thetford, VT. Frank and I are working diligently at a variety of projects in fundraising, marketing to the public broadcasting industry and small business, and my own enterprise as manager for Arbonne International, a line of pure, Swiss personal-care products. Our son Nick, a junior in high school, has a job in lawn care and landscaping, is developing his college options, and is living his passion—basketball. I look forward to reporting on the Class of ’67’s gatherings this year in anticipation of our big gathering in May. My husband, Frank, and I took a trip back in time to celebrate his 40th high-school reunion and to visit his alma mater, Penn State.
