PINGREE
COMMUNITY REUNION SAVE THE DATE: 10.15.16
Angela Katsos Ray and her family have returned to the North Shore after living in Elmhurst, IL (a western Chicago suburb), for the past seven years. Her husband, Alan, concluded his service in June as president of Elmhurst College, and is taking a sabbatical year as visiting scholar at Harvard Law School. After Angela settles their three children—Stephen (11) and twins Charles (8) and Helen (8)—into their new schools in Rockport, she will look for opportunities to integrate herself back into the non-profit world. In the meantime, she and her family are loving life on Cape Ann!

I’m executive director of economic development for the county. This is an area with skiing, mountain biking, brewpubs, and just a handful of people. My hard work here is paying off and I just got named to WV Focus magazine’s ‘Wonder Women of West Virginia,’ which is a pretty cool honor. I’m enjoying living in rural West Virginia. It’s like being at Pingree Pursuit every day. In two weeks I’ll attempt my first ultra trail race—95 miles in three days. Yikes! Hope all my classmates are well! I wish I could get back to Hamilton more often. But if anyone is in D.C., I live less than three hours away!” Visit

Together we attended a nine-day family boat camp and built an eleven-foot skiff. Josh and my father did ninety percent of the work and I was invited to help with finishing details including sanding and painting. Together we built memories that will last a lifetime. I hope all my classmates are well and treasuring time with family and friends.”

ated from Physical Therapy Assistant School in May and passed my licensing boards in July. I can now treat patients! I’m honored to be part of the clinical team at Pro Ex Physical Therapy in Woburn. It was there where I met Physical Therapist and Pingree Alumnus Keith Cooper ’01. It truly is a small world. I’m enjoying my new career in PT and although the journey was challenging, it was well worth it. I’m still teaching fitness and I continue as a figure skating coach. My two sons (Stephen, age 17 and Michael age 13) keep me on my toes. I look forward to our 30th reunion...that doesn’t seem possible!” Leah Cataldo shares, “It’s really hard to believe it will soon be our 30th reunion! I am excited to see everyone and catch up. I am still at Buckingham Browne & Nichols, but have transitioned from science department head to teaching an online course to a global consortium of students. Interacting with students and teachers from all over the world is both fun and challenging—a great next step in my career. My 6th grade and 4th grade boys are keeping us busy as we go from swimming to soccer to flag football, but John and I are loving every minute of watching them grow and challenge themselves in multiple ways. We traveled to Alaska this past summer with my dad and had a fantastic time scouting for wildlife, amazed by the glaciers and enjoying the beautiful scenery at Butchart Gardens in Victo-
