Boston: Hope Rose Angier reported that at the end of July she went to a family reunion in Boston to celebrate her nephew, Hobie Hare’s engagement. Hobie is the son of Barbara Rose ’64.
The Redwoods: California: Mettie Whipple spent Mother’s Day with her son Arthur, (who has a new job as an engineer) touring the Redwoods, then Capitola where she explored tide pools.
Vermont: Susan Bonthron is keeping active with her book arts, a women’s hiking group and playing in bands! How versatile can a woman be?
San Clemente, CA: Galey Bissell SergioCastelvetere announced with great joy the arrival of her first grandchild, Brinley Katherine on July 10, weighing in at 6 1/2 pounds, with blue eyes and a mellow disposition. Galey reported, “She’s a little doll and we’re finally grandparents!” Congratulations on the new arrival. The happy parents are Kristin and Alex. Boston: Kirsty Pollard Lieberman is Associate General Counsel at New York Life Insurance. Her support of all causes that support and save Bassett Hounds continues.
England: Margery Cuyler and her husband Jan donned their crowns to fly to England in May; Margery said it was the first really relaxed vacation she’s had for a long time. She retired from her Amazon job at the end of December, yet still does some consulting for them, and has continued to write, and appear as a guest author at various schools. Wouldn’t you have loved it if Margery had come to one of our classes as a guest author? The rest of the summer has been in Lawrenceville in her new digs, with a pool and nice garden, which she hopes will make the summer tolerable.

I was very sad to receive the news that Marianne Hoffman Tukey passed away on June 21st in Providence, Rhode Island. After PDS, Marianne graduated from Pine Manor College and Wheaton College, and became a gifted and passionate teacher to young children, most recently at South County Montessori School in North Kingstown, R.I. Married for 43 years to Paul Tukey, also an educator, she is survived by her daughter, Melissa, sister, Karen Hoffman Friedlander ’69, and two brothers, Hugh and Brian Hoffman.
Gilbert Ruff and Susan Bonthron ’66
Chaco Canyon: Dale Marzoni Kellogg, after taking a 16-week Master Gardener course in May, is using all her skills that she learned this summer. She reported, “Having a wonderful time, digging, weeding, watering, and watching my lovely plants grow!” Dale continues to judge ice skating tests and competitions, and was recently promoted to a US Figure Skating Silver/Singles Pairs Judge. Congratulations, maybe we’ll see your face at the next Olympics? She is enjoying her summer with grandson, Sebastian, after vacationing in Chaco Canyon. Maybe we can see some pictures of your garden next time?
on August 13; our bond will never be broken as we were both born in Princeton Hospital, and were placed in cribs next to each other! Crib-mates!

Mettie Whipple ’66, Son Arthur Italy: Katherine Becker will have completed her late August/early September Italian journey by the time you read our class notes. Renting a loft in Trastevere, a neighborhood in the ancient part of Rome, she will spend two weeks with a UW film professor and his students watching movies; walking and touring. Then to Amalfi for four days and a boat trip to Positano. Plans were to swim in the Mediterranean, take a day trip to Ravello “where I visited in 2001 and loved its beauty.” As for returning home, Katherine wrote, “I could be writing my next class notes from somewhere in central Italy, or maybe the North, or South, wherever the spirit takes me.” Ciao, Baby!
