BULLETIN | WINTER 2016 37
’64 RH Sam Barnes writes, “I am still based in Mozambique and working a few months a year for the UN, traveling a lot (Vietnam, Cambodia, Morocco, Greece, Denmark, Sweden, Portugal) this past year. Will be back state side in May, June, July 2016. One daughter, Maya, is living and working in Mexico City. My other daughter, Yara, moved back to Mozambique after five years of working in South Africa.” Susan “Sukey” Heyn Billipp writes, “Andy and I celebrated our 44th wedding anniversary with the arrival of our 11th grandchild. After years of raising children and volunteer work in public schools and at the University of Texas School of Public Health, where I also earned my doctorate, I’m enjoying travel with Andy, painting, and time with friends and family.” Karen Browning writes, “I live in Vermont with my husband, Wayne. We have two daughters and one grandchild. I currently coordinate a schoolbased mentoring program and enjoy the wonderful state of Vermont. I see Christie Sumner as often as we can coordinate.” Becca Cook writes, “I am formally retired, but flunking at it. I continue to teach in the fall semester at the University of Toronto. This past spring, I taught at the Human Rights Centre at the University of Pretoria, South Africa. I have another book on the go: a second edition of Human Rights of Women that I first edited 20 years ago. We spend as much of the winter as we can manage in my family’s place in Florida, south of Sarasota.” Frances “Puddy” Shellenberger Goode writes, “I live in Placerville, Calif., a small town between Sacramento and Lake Tahoe in gold country. My husband, a master cabinetmaker, and I designed and built our house on ten acres. Our son, Trevor, is in college studying outdoor adventure leadership and culinary arts. My sister Sue ’70 is the only Rosemarian I have seen for quite a while but I did talk to Lucy Corrigall a few years ago. She is living in Guam. I work as a psychotherapist in a high school program for kids with emotional/mental health challenges and have a private practice.”
Linda Holch Gordon writes, “Clyde and I are enjoying his retirement and having the time to travel. We recently went to Burlington, Vt. so we can visit with our son Chris and his family. We had a wonderful breakfast with Karen (Browning) and husband Wayne and Christie (Thompson) while we were there. Our daughter Lisa and her family live here in Burlington N.C. She also has two children – one a freshman at Appalachian and one a junior in high school. Tina (Johnson) Lewis just spent several days visiting with me. I am enjoying painting and exhibit in a gallery All About Art on Bald Head Island, N.C.” Sharon Stevenson Griffith writes, “I am enjoying being a trustee on the board of the Pound Ridge Historical Society. I am involved in the local garden club, and volunteer with a group called the Yellow Finch Project that was created to enhance the lives of children with special needs/on the autistic spectrum through multi-sensory theater productions and story times. The best is having time to travel.” Ellen Halsted writes, “I am still living on the upper east side of NYC, and involved with gardening activities and events at Carl Schurz Park on the East River. It was a joy to meet up with Susan Heyn Billipp last month who was here with her wonderful family to celebrate their daughter, Elizabeth, who ran in the NY marathon this year.” Cindy Webb Hendrick writes, “I am semiretired, which means I have turned the business end of Woodfield Press over to a partner. I will now be responsible for the artwork only. I hope this will give me more time to develop new products and also do some long-missed fine art painting. Our middle son (of three) was married in early fall, hence no trip to Colorado. My sister, Wendy Webb Rogers ’58, came up from Florida with her daughter, Laura, to join us. The marriage was held in our field and the whole family was called in to assist.” Molly Maddox Hyde writes, “My husband of 45 years and I moved to Green Valley, Ariz., two years ago, where I am continuing to enjoy oil painting and am represented in a gallery in Tubac, Ariz. Daughter Phoebe lives in Boston with husband John and three
children while our son, Toby, and wife Jenny live in the Cascades north of Seattle with two daughters. Our trip to the Billipps’ place in Colorado was the highlight of our summer.” Patty Jayson writes, “My good news is that I bought a Nordic Trak and I’m actually using it! My sad news is that we said our official goodbye to my mom a few weeks ago. Her children, stepchildren, grandchildren, and great grandchildren were all present for the little ceremony. Rosemarians Sally Brim, Caroline Parker, and Liz Pippin (all ’72), who grew up with my sister, were present too. While in Connecticut, I also saw Katie Miller, Susanne Jackson’s daughter, who is moving to the west coast.” Claudia Bingham Meyers writes, “After ten years of struggling with Parkinson’s, my husband Thomas passed peacefully in April 2014. I took a year to reboot my life, and this past year, traveled to Salt Lake City to present Shemitic Yoga at the World Parliament of Religions. It was wonderful for me to witness how easily participants understood the essential sameness at the root of the three Abrahamic faiths.” Susanne Jackson Miller writes, “Jeff and I are still living in the same house in Norwalk, Conn. – 43 years! Our oldest son, Gordon, and family live in Fairfield so we see them a lot. Our grandsons, Wyatt (11) and Cal (10) are wonderful. Andrew is pursuing his nursing career in Casper, Wyo. Katie is moving to Santa Monica, Calif., and Eric is completing his junior year at BC.” Sally Schaefer writes, “I live in Annapolis, very close to my two daughters and their families. I have a grandson and three granddaughters who all make me laugh a lot! I work in Baltimore for Laureate Education, Walden University, where I have been for 13 ½ years. I am an Enrollment Advisor in the School of Nursing. I have done quite a few bike trips. Christie Sumner and I had a fun trip to Greece a couple years ago and then we did an awesome boat and bike trip in Croatia this past May. I just had a nice visit with Sally/Sarah Cothran in Charleston, S.C. while I was visiting a friend from elementary school.”
