Laura Ward writes: May 2016 will be forty-five (45) years since our graduation. Where has the time gone? Life for me continues to thrive. Work remains challenging and full-filling. My family is all happy and healthy. I enjoy spending time with my sixyear old grand-daughter, Emerson, and see both my stepchildren and their spouses regularly. My sister, Carolyn '74, and I continue to travel. Mindy Fisher is back from a year studying in Israel and on track to become a Rabbi. Her son is a sophomore at Yale. David Medine became Chairman of the Privacy and Civil Liberties Oversight Board four days before the Snowden leak began. The Board is an independent agency whose mission is to ensure that the federal government's efforts to prevent terrorism are balanced with the need for privacy and civil liberties. Timing is everything - so needless to say David has been busy. Laura Klann Heid, and her husband, Mike, attended a family wedding, where they were able to catch up with Laura's brother, Fritz Klann '73, and sister Susan Klann Glenn '76, and hike around Pikes Peak and Colorado Springs. Laura, who lives in Washington DC, is preparing to retire from her OB/GYN practice and wrote "in the words of Monty Python, on to 'something new and completely different.'" Christine DeFrancesco Brinker's son is a now teenager. Christine and her family live in
Penny Craven writes: Patsy Myers, her husband Ed Hayes, my husband Ernest Barbieri and I just returned from our annual baseball and wine tasting trip. This year we went on a long road trip, seeing games in Cleveland, Toledo (remember Jamie Farr from M*A*S*H in his Mud Hens uniform?) and Detroit, and drove back through Ontario. We've been doing this for years, starting in the Finger Lakes where Patsy and Ed live, and branching out as far as Washington state, British Columbia and Southern California. We always have a great time together, and we brought back some really good wine which we're going to get together and drink sometime soon.

Manhattan, but when they are able they spend weekends at the Jersey Shore. Christine ran into John Kastan on the street the same day a friend told her that the friend had met Andrew Listfield's niece at a Dartmouth graduation. There really is less than six degrees of separation. Andrew Listfield wrote that following three years of graduate school in Quebec he became fluent in French. Over the years he has become friendly with many people in the arts, in France. In March, Andrew returned to Paris to visit. He saw four plays, including one play by someone he knew. He enjoyed the delicious food of Paris and is willing to share the name of the best place to buy chocolates in Paris. Andrew is on staff at radio station WFMU. Playlists of some of his shows may be found at http://www. wfmu.org/playlists/AL. Andrew found himself thinking of Bill Elliott when Andrew attended a bluegrass festival where Bill Monroe performed. Andrew remembered, in 11th grade when Bill Elliott was our chemistry teacher, lending him one of Bill Monroe's albums and when Bill Elliott returned the album he gifted Andrew a solo album of Kenny Baker, Monroe's fiddler at the time.
