sees Louise Parent and Sharon Rice Sklansky, and in NYC she saw Meg Corroon Sheridan and Missy McHugh. She finds it very comforting that everyone looks the exact same and is so easily recognizable. Meg Corroon Sheridan ran into Priscilla and Dodie at Michael C. Fina in NYC when Dodie was arranging her wedding registry and Meg was replacing her cutlery. She also bumped into Mary Francina Golden ’67 at jury duty. Meg is working as a consultant to nonprofit organizations and her husband, Tom, is a litigator. They have three sons: Thomas, a financial analyst; and twins Colin, who attends Colgate University, and Patrick, at Davidson College. Lisa Gowdey Dotson is still selling cars in Clarksville, Tenn., and slightly traumatized by the prospect of turning 60. She is very proud of her 17-year-old, big-hearted granddaughter who is beginning to look at colleges in Tennessee to be close to family. Lisa is very involved in her church. As music minister, she leads the music every Sunday, and is becoming a lay Eucharistic minister to be able to provide solace and comfort with the sacraments to the sick and disabled. I am still a capital markets finance lawyer, still waiting for the capital markets to cooperate and begin generating legal work. Our son, Peter,
is at Georgetown and has released his first album and a new single. My stepdaughter, Kathleen, is planning her wedding in October in Baltimore. My stepson, Michael, and his wife welcomed a baby girl on Christmas Eve.

Robin Clark robincrjc@hotmail.com Cathy Finnegan Nix cathynix30@gmail.com Hi everyone, we had a great turnout for our 40th reunion. We were all so glad to get together, share our memories and laugh a lot. Christina Barbero reminded us she was our class president both junior and senior year! Meg Clary Bisharat shared her very cool illustrations she has been doing for her son’s books. Anne McCormick Hubbard, Titine, Claudia Neale, Ellen Luby, Maryanne Bardwil Lynch, Jeanette Srubar Wallace all had fun stories from our high school days. We honored the memory of Kim Bruns Strobis at Mass. We missed Monica Dursi Cimina, Connie McKenna and Suzanne Brady Forlivio for last minute cancel. We welcomed three new classmates from Kenwood ’71, Mary Collins, Rosemary Keilty and Amanda Maguire. We don’t have to wait another 10 years. Harriette Shiland McDonough has
offered to organize a NYC reunion. Let us know how you all are and if we can try to get this great group of women together again.

Josie Kaufmann josie.kaufmann@yahoo.com Hello, Class of 1975! Michelle Dubuque Vallely recently became a grandmother to a little boy, Peter Scott Vallely III, better known as Trey. Rosie Barry lost her mother, as did Anne Vernon, as did I—all within weeks of each other. Many of you have already experienced the loss of the final parent. It’s not easy, but time heals, memories are treasured, and we go on. Mary McGowan is doing wonderful work with an organization that builds awareness among woman about heart disease. You know guys—we have reached those tender years where stuff happens. Life has a funny way of throwing us a curve ball every once in a while—and it’s friends that help us through. So here’s to CSH friendships—let’s keep the magic going! Please keep me up on your news—good and bad.
