I’m looking forward to attending reunion in June led by David Whitman and Barbara Salthouse Massoudi. Find us on Facebook at NMH Class of 82 and NMH 82-30th Reunion. From Christoph Hermjakob in Germany: “In mid-Feb I finally started my once-aroundthe-world travel lasting almost 5 weeks, bringing me to countries from all continents: Munich to Bogotá, Colombia; Houston TX and LA; Auckland, New Zealand; Melbourne and Victoria, Australia; Bangkok, Thailand; Siem Reap (Angkor Temples) and Phnom Penh, Cambodia; Kruger NP, Blyde River Canyon, and Johannesburg/Pretoria, South Africa; and Frankfurt. I got to see lots of friends whom I hadn’t seen for a long time, but also beautiful and impressive places of this wonderful planet, cultures, people, nature. On my way from LA to Auckland, Christchurch got hit by a severe earthquake, and when I was in Cambodia the earthquake/tsunami hit Japan followed by the massive problems in Fukushima’s power plant. Best regards from Munich, and I look forward to being back at NMH next year.” One last thing—post your own notes for the next magazine via the NMH community.

Rick Jacobsen stopped by campus with wife Izabela and daughter Mikaela. They live in Corvallis OR (near Eugene) and were en route to Poland. Rick lived in Poland for 12 years and that’s where he met Izabela. He looked through the yearbook and our junior year Facebook, and we reminisced about faculty members Ted Thornton, Charles Hamilton, Nick Fleck, Karen Cunningham Van Adzin ’75, and Glenn Vandervliet ’56. He hopes to return with his family to our reunion in ’13. He gives a shout-out to Peter Gunas, his fellow crew teammate. Via Facebook, Anita Cook Wilson writes that she is “living happily in Jacksonville FL, working as a fire inspector. Bursting with pride that my daughter Linda was accepted into the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme at Paxon School for Advanced Studies.” Georgia Dunn Belk’s actions were mentioned briefly in the 2/17/11 issue of Bloomberg Businessweek about the Turks and Caicos Islands. Janice Russell reports that in Feb she had an awesome trip to Antarctica. Only 1 more continent to go. If people want to see some pictures, they can check out http://facebook. com/OrganizeYourTravel. Sadly, 1-year classmate Thomas Hutchins died10/5/08, at age 44. He graduated as an anthropology student at Portland State in OR. Survivors include his mother and sister.

Mark Short and Allyson Goodwin ran into Marian Andrews while at a crew race last year. She was randomly driving by, saw the NMH tent, and stopped in. We had a great chat. In other news, we had been living for the past 5 years in Daly House, a baseball’s throw away from Round Top on Northfield but moved in July across the river to Mayberry House, a stone’s throw from the farm. It has a gorgeous view and provides incredible ease for our 2 NMH kids Jordan ’12 and Haley ’14. We plan to throw a fabulous party for our 30th reunion in June ’13 at Mayberry House. Send in more news. Check out our class Facebook page: look up Class of 1983 and you’ll find us.
From the Alumni Office: Robin Hirshberg Jobe reports that daughter Meryl became a bat mitzvah in Mar. She heads off to Europe for 2 weeks this summer with school. Daughter Austine knows 4,000 Mandarin characters and has finished 4th grade. Robin says: “Tric and I are just trying to keep up with them. Can’t wait for reunion June ’13.”

Hello from NMH. Thanks for all the news; it has been great to hear from you. I also happen to have the best job—my travels for NMH take me around the country. It has been fun connecting with all of you on the road and on campus. I am in regular contact with Mary Batty and Julie Greaney. This spring I visited Chris Nagle on the Cape and we had dinner with 2 members of the Class of ’56. Chris also serves on the Alumni Council, so he gets back to campus at least twice a year. Rich Gross stopped by with wife Jen and 4 kids on their way north. I sent them off with syrup and NMH T-shirts. Rich says his eldest daughter thinks NMH looks like a cool place to come to school. Annie Peterson Keller came to an event in San Francisco this winter and Nicole Armstrong Williams came to one in LA. We are lucky to have Lea Thompson Emery running the NMH financial aid office in admissions. Her son is Tucker ’13. Facebook has been a great place to share photos and catch up. Join us there at Northfield Mount Hermon Class of 1984. If you haven’t updated NMH with your email address, please do so—we send out information on regional events and reunion electronically and don’t want you to miss the fun. I was completely impressed when Corina Goulden De Bellis showed up at our 25th reunion with a toddler (1 ½) and infant twins. Corina says: “I think often and fondly of NMH. Now I am busy with 3 small children. I hope that they get the opportunity to have as wonderful an educational experience in their lives as I had at NMH.” Speaking of twins—Eleanor Hager Temelini and husband Dave are busy with their twins Charles Mercury and Kaya Hannah, born 4/3/10.
