On view through Sept. 17, 2017. Congratulations, Meg! Barry Campion returned from southern Patagonia earlier this year, where she said the hiking was stunningly beautiful, and built a new art studio at her home in Venice, Calif. Exciting news from Cyndy Dietal: “On Dec. 21, 2016, I became a grandmother! Maxwell Remington Krieger II arrived five weeks early but was doing fine. Had to have oxygen for two months as the lungs are the last to develop and Denver (where he was born) is very high altitude, so he needed help. He is now free and clear and absolutely delicious! Spent a week with my son and daughter-in-law in Denver end of February/beginning of March playing ‘Cece,’ my grandmother name! Couldn’t really wrap my head around ‘Granny!’ OMG, guys, we’re into the next phase! Also getting ready to celebrate my Dad’s 90th birthday! He has all his marbles (retired last year!), no physical ailments, can still cut a mean rug on the dance floor and will have his entire family present (five children, 11 grandchildren and three great- grandchildren). We should all be so lucky. Love to all my Dana buddies. Sorry I missed reunion. Looking forward to the 50th!”
Elizabeth (Liz) Boles Gutterson writes, “I have the privilege and joy of staying in touch with several of our fellow classmates: Deborah Lincoln Niekrash, Jane Elfers Muther, Cathy Sagansky Kaufman, Jill Gogan Tilstone, Susan Christopher Leist, Melinda Haynes Bradley and Terry Sanderson Smith. We will always deeply miss our dear friend Marion McCoy Mustard; she left a hole in all of our hearts when she passed. Warmest wishes to all of our Class of 1972. Hopefully many of us can gather to celebrate our 50th Reunion in 2022!” Jane Dudley, Maggie Koenig Mongeau and Sheilah (Judy) Glover met for lunch at Deborah Adams Wilton’s beautiful home in Belvedere, Calif., in April for a mini-45th reunion on the occasion of Sheilah’s concert. Sheilah is teaching, playing and singing in a group she’s been with for a long time, and she was especially touched by her classmates’ attendance!

Nancy Wayne and Susan Walter both live in Vermont. They had not seen each other since our 1972 graduation but finally had a happy mini-reunion at the Red Hen Bakery in Middlesex, Vt., which is co-owned by Eliza Cain ’86.

Class of 1974 Kate Hirsch Koller rkoller@snet.net I (Kate Hirsch Koller) am continuing to enjoy the empty nest. My husband Reto and I ventured out on a bucket list (his!) trip in December to Lambeau Field in Green Bay, Wis., to watch a Green Bay Packers football game! He loves the snow and cold, which is why he chose December for the trip. Well, we drove in a snowstorm to get there and, trust me, it was cold! (I thought of you, Lizz, as we drove by Racine!) Actually, it was a lot of fun and truly an experience I won’t soon forget! Over Easter weekend, my family celebrated my mother’s 95th birthday. All of her children and grandchildren were in attendance, although my two daughters surprised her with their presence (one driving up from Gettysburg and the other flying in from Switzerland). I’m just hoping I’ve inherited my mother’s genes! Otherwise, all is well!” Leslie Stecker Dumont writes, “We were excited to see Sarah Dumont ’13 be awarded her bachelor’s in psychology from Gettysburg in May. Emily Dumont ’14 spent her spring semester junior year in Australia. Bill and I are busy living an empty nest life. Life is good! We have a social life again with adults, although I do miss all the soccer, basketball, hockey and lacrosse games. We do have one more year of Hamilton soccer tailgates as Emily wraps up her goalie career. I’ve started swimming competitively again. Went to the New England USMS Championships in March and swam to a gold in the 50 Free and a silver in the 200 Free. It’s been really fun connecting with swimmers I competed with back in the ’80s. It’s like a mini reunion at these bigger meets. Love hearing from all of you!” Janet Parker Nuyen writes, “Life is busy in Seattle! We are in the midst of a kitchen remodel that started with a leaky refrigerator in October! Cabinets are currently being installed, then oven, etc. Needless to say our kitchen is scattered throughout the house. This is my final year with the Seattle Public Schools. I am
