36 years ago, I married my husband, Takuji, and lived in Japan for 20 years where I founded the International Ladies Tea Club, which focused on introducing foreigners to Japanese culture and in turn introducing the local Japanese to the cuisine and culture of its foreign members. After returning to the states, I studied teaching ESL at Columbia University and taught at Borough of Manhattan Community College until 9/11. I now live in Goldens Bridge, N.Y., and breed Vizslas for show, hunt and therapy under the kennel name of Suzu Vizslas. My three children live in New Jersey and Los Angeles.” Jean Robertson writes, “I was named Chancellor’s Professor at Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis, the highest academic rank on my campus, where I have taught art history at Herron School of Art and Design since 1995.

’66 RH Connie Fisher writes, “I moved from Santa Fe to Seattle last fall. I live next door to my twin sister, Susie, and her husband, Bill Thorness. He has written a few gardening books with my sister as illustrator. They're teaching me to garden. I was sorry to leave my Santa Fe friend, Meredith Machen, with whom I shared many fine times. I studied with Gary Krafstow to become a yoga instructor in the Viniyoga Tradition, and went on to learn Yoga Therapy. Meredith introduced me to Peggy Van Hulsteyn who became my student. Being a writer with Parkinson's, she has now written, with a little help from me, Yoga and Parkinson's which will be published in August. I still have my acupuncture needles and keep my license current even while getting more involved with yoga. I hope to see everyone at a reunion!” Gusty Lange writes, “Our son, Dylan, who graduated from Wheaton a year ago, is embarking on a cross-country solo bike trip. He spent a year at home with a couple of jobs following his interests in food and rock climbing to earn money for his venture. Our daughter, Chelsea, just graduated from Friends Seminary (NYC) and will be a freshman at Oberlin in the fall, and is pursuing drama, education, and psychology. I am teaching at Pratt, Graduate Communications Design, in my 29th year, and Steve is working on a book about computer technology.”

Charles L. Colman writes, “On February 29, 2012, I sold my company and retired. I had managed San Jamar’s company in Food Service supplies and Paper/Tissue dispensers. It was a great 18-year run, but I was ready for a change. We have lived full time for about 10 years on the shores of Geneva Lake in Wisconsin. I am into wooden boats, sailing and restoring a 29-acre wood just across the road from our lake home. I have a single daughter, Susan, who lives in Evanston, IL and hopes to be the next great fantasy writer – a tough road. Since
