to start over again. “Maya Jade is beautiful and possesses a wise and gentle aura about her. We are honored and happy beyond words that she will join our little family this summer. Before us is a formidable challenge, as we must raise significant funds to finance the remainder of the adoption costs. Over the course of the next 6 months, we—with the assistance of our amazing community of friends in Kingston and Woodstock—will conduct online fundraisers, art auctions, music events, and dinners. We will reach our goal and bring Maya Jade home to the Hudson Valley to meet the loving friends, family, musicians, and artists who helped make this miracle happen.”

happy to be ‘home’ again with children Cosmo (8) and Ella (7). We have met Bill MacKinnon ’56, who lives in Santa Barbara, and would enjoy knowing if other NMH alums are nearby.” Elizabeth “Ean” Hornor Boquet has lived near Lausanne, Switzerland, since ’96. She teaches English and proofreads, is involved with 2 writers’ groups, and enjoys life with her husband and 2 kids. Donna Polk is the godmother of her children and Ean was the maid of honor at Donna’s wedding in Barcelona in 10/10. After graduating from Cornell, Linda Dyckman Jellum earned her JD from Cornell Law School. She is a visiting law professor at Florida State College of Law and is the associate director of the Association of American Law Schools. Last year, Linda served as associate executive director of the Southeastern Association of Law Schools, where she was a board member for more than 3 years. She is also a council member for the American Bar Association’s section on administrative law and regulatory practice. David “Julio” Gordon shares a remembrance of teacher Bill Hillenbrand, who was his football coach and English teacher: “At the end of every practice, he could be heard saying, ‘The hill, boys, as our practices ended running up toward the chapel. He had enough faith in me to play both offense and defense 1 game. He was 1 of my favorite teachers. His coaching and teaching were inspirational and encouraging. He was a great role model.” From Lilian: Julie Kawadler was in 5 feature films in ’11—2 of them were horror films. She traveled to LA quite a bit and had dinner with Roxanne Wahler Scott and her family. Our 30th reunion was exceptional. There was a wonderful sense of camaraderie, even though the weather didn’t fully cooperate. Approximately 50 or so classmates came and enjoyed catching up with old friends and making new ones. A special thank-you to Tracy Korman for his incredible dedication and making it all come together so flawlessly. Classmates who attended reunion included: Maurice Bouffard, Andrew Briggs. Laura Caffry, Richard Calder, David Catalfimo, Frank Chandler, Larry Chase, Marina Colman, Jane Macdonald Craig, Carol Curtis-Donovan, Alison Law Darling, Lesley Davison, Thomas Driscoll,

From Sally: By the time you read this column, our 30th reunion will be almost here. For those of you who attend, I hope that you have a fantastic time getting reacquainted with old friends, marveling at the new buildings on campus, and making a vow to attend all future reunions. During the last 6 months, I’ve had the chance to catch up with a few alums from our class and others. I received some advice on hiking and camping in the Steamboat Springs CO area from Kent Foster ’81, met Mike Pompian and his wife Angela at Beaver Creek Resort over the Thanksgiving holiday, and spent some time with Toby Green and his family during the Christmas holiday. In Oct, Rocky Mountain-NMH had its annual Mountain Day in Boulder, so I had the opportunity to catch up with a few alumni while hiking in Chautauqua Park. Then, in Dec, I hosted a ski day and dinner at the Breckenridge Ski Resort for CO alumni and 8 members of the NMH ski team, plus Coach Greg Leeds. In attendance for the dinner were Sarah Greenman Barclay ’79, Paul Crowder ’77, Steve Williams ’76, Mary Peck Castle, Toby Green, Shannon Cahill Smith ’98, and Kyler Chavez ’05.
