class states for her annual summer trip to Boston with her daughter. Her visit is always a highlight of my summer–it is so fun catching up, reminiscing about life in Domitilla Hall at Regis, and catching our annual Red Sox game at Fenway Park. Chise still lives in Toyko with her family. Susan Lucey Santarella came out for dinner with her boys during Chise’s visit to Boston. Susan is doing a great job of staying ahead of the demands of two active boys during summer vacation. In July, Norma Roque Harper organized a reunion with Orlando, Fla.-area Regis alumnae. Norma, Elsie Cruz, Caroline Pickett and Gianna Aviles Aguirrechea reunited for dinner and dancing. By all reports (and Facebook pics), they had a ton of fun.

just celebrated their twin boys’ first birthday. Benjamin and Theodore have added a dimension to their lives that far exceeds expectations. Most likely the fastest 12 months ever, but by far the most rewarding and worthwhile. Laura’s been living in Waltham for the past 10 years and recently started a new position at Corporate Technologies in Burlington. Laura is looking forward to seeing as many of us as possible at the upcoming Reunion Weekend in 2016! ¶ Michelle Scott and Jo finalized their adoption of their daughter on May 6. Tia joins big brother Quinn and she has been with them since she was 3 months old. Now at 2½, she is a bit of a live wire and keeps Michelle on her toes! ¶ Jody Michalski finished her first year as Academic Dean/ Educational Coordinator at White Oak School, where she’s taught at for 18 years. Being a new administrator brought lots of new challenges and triumphs. She’s looking forward to the new school year! ¶ Jennine Giaquinto Lesser, Trinity Hurlbut Edwards and Carly Kimball Smith continued their tradition of spending time together on North Carolina’s Outer Banks in August. Great friendships never fade. ¶ Please watch Facebook, your email, or mailbox for information about Class of 1996 activities during Reunion Weekend in May 2016. We will celebrate 20 years in style!

Class of 1994! I hope everyone is enjoying the summer and some muchneeded respite from the daily grind. A small group of us were on campus in May for the All-Alumni Dinner: Jennifer McGoldrick, Karen Corkum McCue, Heather Williams, Sharon Zemeir, Sharon Thomas Cleary, and me, Andrea Fegan Bohn. A couple of us are talking about going back every year for the dinner as a way of keeping in contact. It was also great to see all the new buildings going up, lots of positive changes on campus, and as usual things look beautiful! ¶ I heard from a few classmates and this is what they are up to: ¶ Jean Maguire writes: Hello, Regis friends! This may be the first update I’ve ever submitted, but I’ll keep it brief. In 1999 I received a master’s in library and information Science from Simmons College. I’ve been working at the New England Historic Genealogical Society for the past 16 years (after a five-year stint at Tufts University), and in 2012 became Library Director there. My husband Todd and I were married in 1998 and live in Framingham, Mass. It’s great to see that Regis seems to be thriving. I look forward to hearing what other classmates are up to! ¶ Brandy Brouillard-Lilly is currently working at Copyright Clearance Center in Danvers, Mass., and has been recently promoted to the Data Engineering Department, which focuses of properly representing data in all of our proprietary internal systems and customer-facing applications. ¶ Susan Felice Marroni currently works at CENTURY 21 Commonwealth out of Winchester as a Sales Associate. I would love the opportunity to help anyone searching to find or sell a home in the greater Boston Area.
Having my oldest attending her second year of college, I seem to be thinking more often about the Regis life and how good it was. Hope everyone is well. I would love to reconnect so please feel free to look me up on Facebook. Life is good! ¶ Let’s make a pact to keep each other informed of what’s going on in our lives. I can be reached on the Regis College Class of 1994 Facebook page facebook.com/ groups/635005063210785/ as well as via email ambohn11@yahoo.com. Until next time!
