Donna Klein Anthony ’79 was on a tour of France this summer and met Betty Zawacki Casazza ’70 on the first night of the same tour. Donna lives in Pennsylvania, and Betty lives in Rhode Island. They were amazed by what a small world it is and spent a lot of time reminiscing about their days at Marian. It is hard to believe they met over 3,000 miles from home!

Helena Bahman Claudius ’95 and Kristi Terbrack Hodges ’97 had a November reunion in Zagreb, Croatia, where Helena lives and Kristi visited. Helena came to Marian as an exchange student during the Bosnian War, which impacted life throughout the former Yugoslavia and Helena’s family in Zagreb (the ’94 yearbook features a story on Helena’s experience). She lived with a Marian French teacher (Madame Haffner) and returned to Zagreb for university after graduation.

Kristi and her husband visited Zagreb for their 18th wedding anniversary this year, and Kristi said it was a treat to see Helena, her gorgeous city, and meet her family. Helena brought her yearbooks to dinner one night, and they had a blast looking through them— she remembers her years in Michigan very fondly. It is a testament to Marian that bonds last across the decades and that no matter where you go in this world, there is likely a Mustang who will greet you with open arms.

Andrea Whedon-Hulbert ’04 and her husband, Rodney Hulbert, welcomed identical twin girls, Blake Hulbert and Collins Hulbert, in June 2024.

Lindsay Woch ’07 got engaged to Jacob Nicholas on the beach in Barcelona while traveling through Europe this summer. The trip also included stops in Lisbon and Paris to watch the Olympics. The wedding is planned for next summer.

Chelsea M. Bliss ’10 and Brent W. Lang are thrilled to announce their engagement. The couple resides in Manhattan Beach, CA. Chelsea is an attorney for Northrop Grumman, and Brent is the Vice President at a marketing firm. A December 2025 wedding is planned.
