Chantal Kullman ’90 on her wedding day with sisters Sabine ’97 and Tara ’97 and classmates Eleanor Webb, Allison Schaeffler, Audrey Pukash Bilsborrow, Kelly Mead Leach, Lauren McCann Burke, Victoria Kove Marshall and Kathryn Hudacek Harlow
Kathy, Sarah and Audrey. At the bachelorette party we were able to see Elisha. We moved to the uptown section of NOLA near Tulane and love the area. If anyone wants to visit NOLA, we have a great guest room and welcome anyone who wants to make the trip. If you are on Facebook, there are a lot of pictures – so please friend me if you want to see them!” Our hearts go out to Liz Mott whose husband Peter died in May 2009. Liz says it was a terrible year, and they are hoping for a wonderful 2010. Liz started a decorative painting business called “One Red Apple Designs” and says she is very busy with her three beautiful children. They are gorgeous babies for sure. Sarah Bunting just bought a house in Brooklyn, NY. To call it a fixer-upper is to understate the case rather dramatically (she's currently washing her dishes in the bathtub), but homeownership is an adventure, for sure. Cathy Gerhardt e-mails that she is working at JCMC as a peer counselor for the mentally ill. I am sure you are making lifelong impressions on so many with all the love, confidence and humor you have to share! This has been a crazy year with a 2and 3-year-old and trying to live in a

fish bowl as we sell our house. We’ve been waiting since June 2009, trying to keep the house continuously showready. We did summer in NJ again, which is great getting that time with my folks, sibs and their families. In June I had the honor of officiating my brother Derek's wedding to my best friend from fifth grade. And I have a new nephew Shea. Over Fourth of July, my family met up with Maren Eisenstat Vitali and her crew to celebrate in Maren's area. Also in July, Sean and I attended the wedding of Tara Kullman ’97. It was a wonderful weekend and Tara was a stunningly gorgeous bride. I did get to go north for Kathy Hudacek's wedding. I had so much fun, as my Sweet Mama was my date, and we enjoyed cheering on the bride. We were able to visit with Sarah Bunting and Amie Quivey, too. I made it north again for some events leading up to Chantal Kullman’s wedding. Kathy and Chantal looked breathtakingly gorgeous. I have been thinking lots and lots on our impending 20th Reunion and really can see how the relationships you make in those fast-flying four years of high school are priceless lifetime friendships. I love our sisterhood and am sending hugs to all.
The Alumnae Office heard from Katie Barefoot Herrick. “This has been a year of change. Our most exciting news is the birth of Lydia Miller on November 30.” They moved from San Francisco to Lexington, MA, last August and son Hayden (5) and daughter Eliza (2-1/2) are adjusting well. Husband Brian started a new job with Caritas Christi Healthcare System. Katie is adjusting to life as a stay-at-home mom and feels lucky to be within driving distance of family.
1991 Andrea Carson Tanner 213 Oakland Place North Wales, PA 19454 (215) 661-8416 acarsontanner@gmail.com I scored a few great pictures – and tidbits of news – via Facebook. Claire Cashen Ventura lives near Atlanta and recently opened a recording studio called Future Soundz Studios (www.futuresoundzstudios.com). Heather Pfeiffer is still living in Green Bay, working in pharmaceutical sales. Liz Hines bought her first apartment and completed her first marathon within a few weeks of one another. “I ran with my team, Front Runners New York. Despite running over 600 miles to train for the marathon, I still have not lost my double chin, so I'll have to do it all over again in 2010. Alison Fitzpatrick cheered for me at mile 17/18 from the door of her favorite Irish bar.” Liz also mentioned that she has connected with out-oftowners Amy Allen Taylor and Lauren Shaftel Williams recently, as well as Sally Lewis Meisner for lunch now and then. Allison Fitzpatrick writes, “After 15 years living off First Avenue, I finally moved apartments – a whole block away to York Avenue. I am still adjusting to my new ‘neighborhood,’
