Tonia Lovejoy writes: “My son, Malik, spent a semester at Wagner College on an academic scholarship. However, he has since joined the U.S. Marines - Semper Fidelis! He will be going to basic training soon.” Allen Maxwell writes: “After being laid off my job of almost 18 years last August, I took a position as the CTO of a real estate brokerage firm in the San Francisco Bay area. It’s been different transitioning from working at home to traveling every other week, but the job has been a great challenge, and I’m hoping good things come of it. My daughter just moved into her own apartment, and my son finished up sophomore year at the University of Utah. My other son just moved back to Utah and took on another programming job. Skiing was really lame this year as we had the lowest snowfall on record, but I still got out a dozen times. I hope all the Berkshire-ites are doing great!” Tony Scheinman writes: “My voice-over and acting career is progressing very well. I have four audiobooks narrated by me and they are currently available for purchase on Amazon, Audible and iTunes. The most recent being The Idiot Government Reviews by Pete Sortwell, and I have been congratulated by some Berkshire alumni upon my appearance on a recent episode of The Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt. Other recent work has included my being the voice of Nikola Tesla in the documentary film Tower to the People, the voice of a doctor in a series of medical learning modules and second-hand mortuary monument dealer “Ted” in the independent film Jasper and the Sea Queen. Every now and then I still get recognized as “Sex Offender #1” whenever the episode of Law and Order: SVU that I appeared in is re-run on television.” Marty Berger writes: “I am moving from the little town of Hilo,
HI, my home for the last 14 years, to Honolulu. All are welcome to visit; I have extra surfboards.” Gary Smith Anderson writes: “I’ve just reached the halfway point in a 30-year project and am trying to decide whether I’m semi-retired or just on sabbatical. My daughter Tayler is now 19 years old and tentatively on her own. I’ve just opened a bed and breakfast in Lisbon, Portugal, and it’s a lot like my time being a single dad. I also helped found an artistic association here where we focus on language exchange and all types of arts. I’m busy; I teach a cyberskills workshop and get to go fishing once in a while as well. I’d like to collaborate and communicate with any of you that are interested in doing so. Let’s get in touch, catch up on each other’s lives, and explore how and what we can do for one another as well as for Berkshire. I hope to hear from you soon!”
Class of 1982 friends Alex Sumner, Anthony Addison, and George Rioseco reunite this past spring at a Billy and The Kids concert (Bill Kreutzman from the Grateful Dead) at the Capitol Theater. They tend to go to quite a few Grateful Dead-based shows together, which is reminiscent of the Class of 1982 senior trip!

Anthony Addison sees Terry Gregory regularly, when he comes to New York City for business. Terry’s design business is based in Boston. Several members of the class will be putting a group dinner together soon in New York City, and the more the merrier. Contact Anthony Addison if you would like to join! Blake Addison is wrapping up another season on the set of Scandal, where he designs and builds sets. Blake is hoping to spend a couple of weeks in New York this summer. Rosemary Fitzgerald was on campus in April as a judge for the 2015 Sabin Entrepreneurial Prize, awarded to the group from Berkshire’s Advanced Economics class with the best business plan.

Elizabeth Rutledge writes: “I live in a suburb of Atlanta where I focus my time volunteering as a child life specialist. Human rights, animal rescue, mentoring, Operation Soap (see CNN Heroes), and my HOA keep me busy. My faith in Jesus has only grown stronger through struggles—I survived a brain tumor and have been diagnosed with depression, which began as early as high school, and it has been a great joy for me to be able to reconnect with Berkshire School classmates at reunions and on Facebook. My family has a house in the Berkshires, and I stop by the school a couple times a year just to see what’s what. If you are ever in Atlanta, feel free to look me up elizabethga3030@gmail.com.” MaryKate Gangemi-Bronder lives in Andover, MA with her husband, Spring/Summer 2015
