Cyndy Louth Gilbertson, Anne Mickle and Tom Read reconnected at the D.C. holiday party for CC alumni. David Blair and Mark Howes reconnected at the San Francisco function for CC President Katherine Bergeron in January, and Mark and Paul Clauss got together while Mark was in Sacramento for a conference. Stacey Xanthos, Cheryl Dsouza McKenna and Kristin Masturzo Cuddihy enjoy getting together and catching up on a regular basis. Greg Porto, Jonathan Schwarz, Mike Hartman, Jamie Forbes and Frank Suher gathered for their annual boys’ weekend in Chatham, Mass. It was a weekend full of great food, great stories and lots of great music. They can’t wait to go back this year. Helen Dewey has been advocating her cousin’s book/movie, “Defying the Nazis: The Sharps’ War.” She has scheduled it for a showing at CC this year. John Natale takes frequent trips to Italy and often shares pictures of his Italian culinary talents on Facebook. Perhaps we can convince him to cook up an Italian feast for our next reunion! Frank Suher’s child will be attending CC this fall. Wendy Fischer Magnan’s daughter attends
CC, as does Mary Haines Severn’s son. Andrea Dunn Brockleman had lunch with some friends from CC: Jane Bredeson, secretary emeritus of the College; Julie Quinn, former Director of College Relations; and Peter Lindquist, a special student (not a freshman) in 1969—the first year of men at CC, a member of CC’s first intercollegiate men’s basketball team and one of the originators of the Camel mascot.

after exams and then started at MSK on June 27, 1994. With a few years off to have children, Lynne is still working for her first employer. Her liberal arts critical-thinking skills and writing ability continue to serve her well, and she looks forward to helping people as a future nurse. Marilyn Pacheco started working in IT as a lab monitor at CC as a freshman. “In 1990 I didn’t have the faintest inkling that I had been exposed to my future career.” After stints in the securities and legal industries, Marilyn has come full circle and works in IT at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical U. and couldn’t be happier. “I’ve already seen a world-class hacker, a bluegrass band, an astronaut and a social roboticist. ERAU is a small, vibrant school that reminds me of CC, just a little farther from a river.” After 14 years of teaching high school English, Sheri Nechamkin Kimmel has resigned and started her own company, LuLaRoe Sheri Kimmel. She enjoys working from home and being available for daughter Emma, who is considering CC for college. Sheri would love to reconnect with any Camels in the BaltimoreD.C. area. Two years ago, Jamie Poff purchased and opened a franchise, Enviro-Master of Connecticut. “Enviro-Master is the leading expert in hygiene programs for commercial restroom spaces.” They provide products and services to clean and sanitize public bathrooms. “Never would have guessed I’d end up here, and it’s definitely not glamorous work,” but the business has grown quickly throughout Connecticut and into Massachusetts. “Business ownership is hard, but it’s rewarding and enjoyable all at the same time.” Jamie also enjoys spending time with his two daughters, ages 11 and 8. Six Camels from ’94, five of who began their CC experience in Harkness together, gathered to laugh, swap tales and drink a few beers. Geoff Goodman, a Massachusetts native, was in town from Oklahoma on a business trip, which provided the perfect excuse to get together. “Fortunately we talked more about the recent Patriots’ Super Bowl Championship than about CC alumni now working in the White House, but only barely.”
