Maxine Silton Goldberg’s son married Antonia Blyth ’96 in August. Antonia’s sister-in-law also graduated from Skidmore, a few years earlier.

Ann Shrope Byrne visited a friend in Henderson, NV, then flew to Connecticut for her mother-in-law’s memorial service, and then went on to Tampa, FL, to board a cruiseliner headed for Belize, Cozumel, the Cayman Islands, and Roatan. Her freshman and sophomore high school roommate accompanied her.

In the summer Rorry Pond Zahourek went to the Australian outback and Papua New Guinea for six weeks. Her new book, Intentionality: The Matrix of Healing, uses the words of both practitioners and patients to discuss the concepts of intentionality and healing in clinical treatment, education, and research. Her previous works covered relaxation, imagery, and hypnosis.

For the last 29 years Lynne Frost Deutch and husband Irwin, who is in real estate, have lived in Los Angeles, where their three sons, 2-year-old grandson, and a stepdaughter also live. Lynne dropped out of Skidmore after her sophomore year and attended Parsons School of Design in NYC for two years. She worked in retail fashion, opened a gifts and accessories store, and volunteered for museums and mental health organizations, including Mental Health Awareness Campaign founded by Tipper Gore. Lynne was eventually ap­pointed to a California state com­mission on mental health. She graduated from Skidmore’s University Without Walls in 2004. She enjoys traveling, photography, and acting classes. When in NYC she sees Charlene Petnick Rosen and husband Dan. She connected with Eva Meinberg Aviad while traveling in Israel.

Julie Sparks Parmegiani, Lenore Bethka Wersten, and Ellen Judge Swanson had a conference call in July regarding our 45th reunion. While classmates re­turned to Saratoga Springs for Reunion, illness kept me from traveling. Let’s drum up enthusiasm for our 45th and remember that it is never too soon to begin to put our heads together for the 50th.

Beth Ellis Poulo is now a grandmother: son David and daughter-in-law Loren welcomed baby Ruby in April. They live in the next town, so Beth and Lou babysit often. Daughter Rebecca and Beth’s 97-year-old mother-in-law also live nearby. Beth is still working in real estate in Andover and doing well.

I went to Yosemite National Park in June; to Melbourne, Australia, in August to meet my sixth grandchild, Zoe; to Pitts­burgh in September for my brother-in-law’s funeral; and to Warrensville, OH, in October to do a seminar for a 10-person law firm. My business now includes writing newsletters, blog material, critiques of Web sites, and training as well as consulting on workers’ compensation for federal employees.
