cLASS NotES the foundation board level in Maine and that has kept me busy and happy. The continual economic and social woes in the state will always be a challenge. My background is in finance. Up until I had my second child I was a banker in NYC so I tend to focus on that end of things. I have a few ideas in my pocket for new endeavors, now that I have moved into that post-children leg of life. I hope to get moving on them before I am too old to remember what they are! Stephanie Jones Landvater: I am an orthopedic surgeon subspecializing in sports medicine and total knees and hips. I have been living in Vermont since 1988 and have two college-age boys, one pre-med at Cornell and the other pre-vet at CSU Fort Collins, and a husband who is not in medicine… I am sorry I have so lost touch with everyone over the years. It would be great to catch up at the alumnae gathering.
Elizabeth Harrington watkins: I live in Durham, NC, with my husband, Bill (we celebrate 25 years in April) and two dogs, Penny and Beetle. We had the pleasure of attending the wedding of Erika Sogge ’04 and Kyle Schneider last July in Mattapoisett, MA. Erika is my first cousin once-removed. Her grandmother, my aunt, Kathy pillsbury ’46 helped arrange this very special time for family and friends. Bill and I just returned from a week-long trip to Irvine and Laguna Beach, CA, to visit Bill’s son and family. My first view of the Pacific and its magnificent coastline! Look forward to hearing your news and being in touch with you as we plan our class reunion!

Deborah giraud: I am an alumna of Lincoln, class of 1974. I have often looked at the list of colleges over the years that Lincoln seniors are heading off to with mixed feelings. While proud of the impressive list of schools, usually there are none west of the Mississippi, sometimes only few out of New England. Moving to California at 18 to attend college was one of the exciting life experiences I have had. I would hope that some Lincoln students would try the great American west! There are so many fantastic Universities and colleges, in all kinds of beautiful settings. The opportunities I had in college started freshman year; hiking the Grand Canyon, staying with new friends in Los Alamos, NM, tromping around San Francisco on Thanksgiving break, and for classes we visited the desert, mountains and ocean side in my ecology classes, camping for three or four days at a time. There were classmates from all over the world and west, including Asian Americans, Hispanics and Native Americans. The exposure to the diversity of America was wonderful. I
drove coast to coast five times during my college years, and saw our country with different friends by my side, some from Providence who flew out to drive back with me; they still talk about it. Camping on Indian reservations, exploring caves, breaking down on the panhandle and being help by some fantastic people, the memories are fresh as I just read my diaries from those days! Lots of adventures, like having a summer job in Hawaii, connections I made in college. Now I live among the redwoods and although not a true Californian, am glad to be here on the Pacific Rim and call it home for 33 years. I visit family in RI once or twice a year. Come out west Lincolnites, you won’t regret it! There are airplanes coming and going every day, and you don’t have to settle here, tell your parents you will be back…..and explore! College is a great time to do that!
