Lynne Roach Hildebrand and husband Stan had so much fun at Reunion that they left sunny Orlando, FL, in September to experience autumn in New England, ending their stay at a mini-reunion harvest feast hosted by Lee Lustberg and Michael Musto. Other guests at Lee and Michael’s 1760s home in Weston, MA, included Sandra Lipson, Nancy Harris Carter, Eda
George, Deborah Bozbeckian Raptopoulos, and me.

Linda Lee reports having “lucked out to fall into the best career ever.” She is VP and general manager at Weston Woods Studios, a subsidiary of Scholastic Inc., which produces and
distributes audiovisual adaptations of classic children’s literature designed to help struggling, reluctant, and beginning readers develop a lifelong love of reading and books. Linda works
from home in Park City, UT, and travels once a month to corporate offices in Connecticut.

Although Dana Warner Fisher hasn’t acted much recently, she directs musicals at the local
middle school in Crawfordsville, IN, where she also serves as the school’s media specialist. “Making art quilts has been a passion of mine for many years, and I just took down a show at
our local public library,” writes Dana. Visit www.danawarnerfisher.blogspot.com to see her work.

In September Suzanne Sayia Schmitz met up with Rosemarie Mayer Bell and Cynthia Daley Eskwith in Weed, CA. Romie and her husband moved there four years ago and love living at the foot of Mount Shasta.

Volcano Editions in Oneonta, NY, presented a solo exhibition of Hartwick College art professor Katharine Kreisher’s “Contemplating Peace” series and several giclee prints of her early self-portraits during October. She creates her pieces by layering paint on the surface of photographs, transforming them through traditional printmaking methods, or manipulating them digitally.

Our heartfelt thanks to Lise Bang-Jensen for keeping the class informed for so many years and especially for sharing her tricks on how to coax news out of our classmates. Keep the news
