CLASSNOTES Sophie Barnes '41 As I am about to turn 80, it seems that the life of the real me has finally begun to emerge. Less than five years ago when I retired due to health concerns, I began writing poetry and catching up on the rest of my education; i.e. the much neglected field of world affairs. As a divorcee since 1965, I have been in the category of the 99% and alone with four daughters until they all departed for the Pacific Northwest. I am about to embark on a children's book. Plenty to keep me busy and all good wishes to all of my classmates who may still be out there. sophiebarnes2001@yahoo.com Bev Holmes Prevost '54 I am glad to say that I saw some EMS classmates at our 50th reunion at Dwight School. I took with me our 4th grade graduation photo on the rocks by the brook! EMS started me on a lifelong path of singing, and I have stayed in touch with classmates Anne McClanahan Bourne and Gaylen Hicks Bent, and look forward to seeing Molla Sloan Donaldson again (at Dwight) ! We are loving our new house and location in Worcester, MA after my husband Ned's retirement after almost 20 years at the Christ Church (Episcopal) in Winnetka, IL. We are now happily close to the ferry for Cuttyhunk where we have summered for many years. We are new grandparents to our first, Grace Elizabeth Guenther, daughter of our older daughter Elizabeth Prevost and her husband Michael Guenther, both in the history department at Grinnell College in Iowa. Younger daughter Marnie Prevost Weir often welcomes groups from EMS at The Cathedral Church of St. John the Divine in NYC where she is Co-Director of Public Education and Visitor Services. therectory@aol.com
Jim Webster '70 All continues well out here in Bozeman, MT where we’ve lived now for 19 years. I saw Melinda (Macdonald) Twomey '70 when her family was visiting Montana. I also have heard from Rob McCabe '70 in Albany, NY and Andrew McKenna '70 in Boulder, CO where our older son goes to college. Schools like EMS don’t exist within 400 miles of here, so I appreciate what I had growing up! Still, this area has many great attributes so we’ve enjoyed raising our three kids here. Besides our son at CU Boulder, we’ve a daughter in grad school near Portland, OR working on a Masters in Clinical Psychology and our youngest is going to be a junior at the Fountain Valley School of Colorado in Colorado Springs where I’m also a Parent Trustee. JWebster@dadco.com Bess Eckstein '84 Bess Eckstein and her husband welcomed their daughter, Emily Rose Mallow, on May 9, 2012. Kim (Ketive) Sunshine '87 I am currently living in NYC with my husband, David, and our children Ella and Nate. I work part-time producing videos for XO group, Inc, which is the parent company to theknot.com, weddingchannel.com, thenest.com, and thebump.com, among other websites. kimsunshine@rocketmail.com David Rand '90 Third generation Hudson County-based ad agency, HarrisonRand, was recognized last week at the Chart House in Weehawken by the NJ Ad Club at their annual competition, The Jersey Awards.
