Ellen Cook Humphrey ’78 with her three sons
for lunch in Cambridge. Lots of laughs, catching up, and a secret or two revealed!” Lisa Glovsky-Zeien: “My son became a bar mitzvah last June, and to celebrate we are off to ski in Switzerland and tour Florence and Venice over the holidays. Had the pleasure of hanging out with Kayt Kirk Kalsow over Thanksgiving break. She’s a special ed teacher in Southern California, and also teaches in children’s homes. Kayt is currently in school for a master’s degree in her field. Ellen Sennott McGillivray is back in real estate and busy being a mom.” Nina Martin-Anzuoni is un/underemployed after eight years of public health emergency planning. “I have been spinning, weaving, knitting, and creating beaded and chain maille jewelry. It has been fun, but has had limited financial success. I expect the new year will find me hunting for part-time employment. I am also in my third year of representing my town on the Mohawk Trail Regional School Committee. My son, Nikolai (17), is a senior at Mohawk and will soon be leaving for college. My husband, Nick, is still working for the Massachusetts Department of Conservation and Recreation and is fire chief for our town.” Heidi Nelson Walter has been living in Maine for the last 10 years. “Moved here for work, and am in my 10th year with Brunswick Police Department. My partner, Linda, and I bought a house last year, and have spent the year making it our own. I have two German shepherds, and between us, we have five cats. I was fortunate to see a post on Facebook showing the former sign for the entrance of the Northfield Campus was for sale in an antiques store in Greenfield. I got right on the phone and bought it. I drove down to pick it up a few weeks later. It is proudly displayed in my den near the fireplace hearth.” David Kopel visited Buenos Aires in November, where his daughter is working. He had a great time at the River versus Racing soccer game, where the crowd intensity was even greater than at NMH versus Deerfield. From the Crowder Clan, Chris writes “We welcomed my mother, Suzanne Buckson Crowder ’54, and sister Liz Crowder ’83 for Thanksgiving in Westport, Conn. They drove up from Baltimore and D.C., respectively. Brother Paul Crowder ’77 and sister Cathy Crowder Johnston ’80 spent the holiday in Louisville, Colorado, and Minneapolis. My immediate family spent an amazing 11 days in August in Kenya on safari—‘glamping’ (glamour camping). You really do come to appreciate this
area as the cradle of mankind.” Peggy Jacobs Bader: “This past fall was a funfilled NMH ’78 whirlwind in New York City, as I got to see Matt Heller, Erika Monsees McCormick, and the long-lost Charlie Humphreys! Matt and his wife, Susan, have moved back to D.C., where Matt has assumed the position of executive VP for marketing and communications for Communities in Schools (CIS). Matt and I have been actively working together on building a partnership between CIS and the New York City Mission Society, of which I am a board member. Matt and Susan spent time over the summer with my daughter, Molly (18), in D.C. while she was living there and working as an intern at the Environmental Working Group. Erika remains gorgeous, fabulous, and perfect, and she and I had a long, fun catch-up breakfast. She is working as a drug prevention specialist in her hometown of Scituate, R.I., where she lives happily with her husband of 30 years, Tim, and their four grown children. Charlie Humphreys swung through the city with his beautiful wife, Laura, and their son, also called Charlie (8), who looks exactly like his dad. Charlie is a criminal defense lawyer in Dallas at his own firm, Humphreys and Peterson. I am well, living in NYC with my wonderful husband of six years, John, my two amazing children, Molly and Eli, and my two equally amazing stepsons, William and George. In addition to my work with the Mission Society, I am the vice chair of the Education Committee of the Guggenheim Museum, and am involved with lots of projects focused on education.” Cathy Abraham Hopkins: “Beth Graden Rom and I saw James Taylor in November and I felt like I was 17 again! I completed Ironman Arizona a couple of weeks before, which reminded me that I’m not 17 anymore, but it sure was fun.”

Our retired math teacher, Carolyn Mann, sent an article about a project Leila Philip is collaborating
on with husband Garth Evans. From the October 2014 article (villagernewspapers.com): “Inspired by the natural beauty of the Quiet Corner, Woodstock residents Leila Philip and Garth Evans have created ‘Water Rising,’ an association of stunning watercolors and haunting poems. The authors are publishing ‘Water Rising’ and plan to use the book, together with music composed by Shirish Korde, to generate conversations about and support for environmental stewardship. All net proceeds from the book will go to organizations working to preserve the beauty and natural resources of New England, especially in the Quiet Corner. “Garth Evans is an internationally renowned sculptor whose experimental abstract works are displayed in major museums worldwide. Leila Philip is an award-winning writer known for her distinctive work in literary non-fiction. The couple spent 12 months pushing beyond their usual artistic genres to create works that evoke the distinctive rhythms and sense of place of rural northeast Connecticut. The resulting book generates an exciting new sense of how word and image can interact to create new meanings as it explores the ways in which we locate ourselves in a rapidly changing natural world. “Renowned composer Shirish Korde has engaged with Evans and Philip to compose music in response to the watercolors, as well as to set some of the poems to music. The book will be released with performances of this new art collaboration. To learn more about this book and collaborative art project, visit water-rising.com.” Jen Baker Warren: “Hard to believe that we graduated more than 30 years ago! I don’t really feel like I have changed much. Still have long brown hair, still a somewhat introverted hippie, and still love being outside. But am now a mother of three (Florian, 27, manages a restaurant in Asheville, N.C.; Emma, 20, is a junior at St Lawrence; Lucy, 15, is a junior at Verde Valley school). I teach fifth grade and am trying to get my business up and running: Journeys Educational Consulting. Went to a great talk about getting money out of politics by Ben Cohen of Ben & Jerry’s fame. Check out: stampstampede.org (yeah, still an idealistic liberal, too!). Anyway, I love visitors, so come on out to Santa Fe, N.M.!” Estelle Dorain Burgess: “All is well in Vermont. Fall has come to a halt and winter seems to be knocking at our door! Just returned from a little vacation time with our girls, Lindsey Burgess ’03 and Callie Burgess ’04. We had 12 glorious days in southern Florida. We had a wonderful visit with Paige Relyea Lehman and her family. Always nice to be with our NMH friends. Feels like we never left them!” Andrew Bourne had lunch with Jon Cline last November. “I also got to meet Jon’s son and his sister Joy Cline’s (’80) husband and son. Jon and I had not seen each other since the class of 1979’s 15th reunion.” Jay Kanzler: “My second feature film, Marshall the Miracle Dog, is complete and will be released in spring 2015. It stars Lauren Holly, Shannon Elizabeth, and Matthew Settle. There is a coach in the film with a very familiar name (hint: my soccer coach at NMH). More recently, I have been
