covered the Celtics, the Patriots, the Red Sox, March Madness, the Frozen Four, the America’s Cup, and the 1978 Kentucky Derby, and even shared dinner with Howard Cosell at the Fenway Park press facilities. I don’t remember what he ate, but he was actually very warm and friendly. I’ve run along Storrow Drive with Jim Fixx, tried out for Major League Baseball, tried out for the New England Tea Men of the old North American Soccer League, and interviewed Arnold Schwarzenegger when he brought Pumping Iron to the Exeter Street Theatre for its Boston premiere. Forty years in print journalism was always fun, even when I found myself later doing more supervising and editing than reporting and writing.” Joe Schepps writes, “My last great literary work was cowriting The Ship with Bill Newhall and Chris Moore. After college, I moved to Santa Fe, where, over the decades, I built adobe homes, pioneered with solar energy, built and operated inns and hotels, and enjoyed all the beauty and outdoors of New Mexico. And made a new family of friends. And, to give the non sibi tradition its due, I was involved with creating Santa Fe’s performing arts center and served the United Way, Santa Fe Opera, and other civic endeavors. I made my life in Santa Fe, and much of it will always be there. I am fortunate to own and operate the Inn on the Alameda.” Adios, amigos. Keep writing and e-mailing.

Twenty-three classmates gathered at the Craigville Retreat Center on Cape Cod in October. We seem to be busier than ever, have incredible energy, and could definitely be described as young at heart. We took time to remember our loved and admired classmate, Claire Moore Dickerson, who died peacefully after a courageous battle with pancreatic cancer. She was an esteemed professor, a fine lawyer, a great athlete, and a devoted mother. Julia Alvarez, tenured professor at Middlebury College, is a recipient of the National Medal of the Arts. Julia arranged a visit by Ruth Stevenson, Abbot English lit teacher, who talked with us
about her tenure at Abbot and subsequent educational positions. Sarah Beale Gaffin is currently a senior director of leadership giving and the Wheeler Society at Hobart and William Smith Colleges. Diana Bonnifield Hill has retired from her fashion consulting business and lives in La Jolla, Calif., with husband Mike. They were next off on a trip to the Serengeti. Anstiss Bowser Agnew retired as executive director of Forestdale, an agency that provides services for foster children and their families. She still serves as senior advisor for special projects and maintains her therapeutic practice in NYC. Rhonda Carrington Jamison and her husband retired, selling their insurance agency. She is caring for her mother, who lives with them, and is enjoying her gardening. Sara Delano is volunteering for the community music school and Winchester A Better Chance (ABC), finding summer programs for students in the program. Charlotte “Lotte” Elmenhorst-Volz, retired child therapist, traveled the farthest, coming from her home in Merzhaussen, Germany. She and husband Dieter are enjoying time to travel. Dorsey Green continues her practice as a psychologist seeing couples and individuals in Seattle. She now has four grandsons—and their parents—living in Seattle. She couldn’t join us, due to the birth of number four. Judy Hannegan Sherman provides guidance, job coaching, and help with housing for clients with mental challenges. Catherine Hoover Petros continues as chair of the advisory board of the Center for Women’s Health Research at the University of Colorado. She and husband Ray took a hiking trip in Tuscany and then went to Slovenia to sightsee and connect with many Petros relatives. Candace Howes is a professor of economics and chair of the department of gender and women’s studies at Connecticut College. Priscilla Howes Harris retired from her role as a tax manager at Trinity Health. Recently, she and her husband visited Steve Brown ’67 and his wife in Tucson, Ariz. Louisa “Weezie” Huntington, chief reunion organizer, and husband Paul are enjoying their new retirement home. Weezie took a photography trip to Michigan and is looking forward to another in Iceland. Pamela Jones Hahn and her husband lived and worked in Asia for more than 20 years, returning to the U.S. in 2013. She is mostly retired, and they planned a winter trip to Yellowstone National Park. Warren Osborne Collins and husband, Lenny, live in Kinderhook, N.Y., on their working farm, raising chickens and organic fruits and vegetables, and spend time at their home on Cape Cod. Lenny was kind enough to host several husbands during our “retreat.” Nancy Porosky Harris-Frohlich has retired from her position as head of school at the Advent School. She is currently involved in Leaps of
