Grandchildren of Carol Gebelein Cavanagh, 1967
regularly to see her sister Nancy Gebelein Cornbrooks, 1970, Carol’s daughter and sonin-law, Sarah and Skip Cornbrooks, and their two children. Carol has 11 other grandchildren in New England with two on the way, so life for her and Joe is busy and happy. As for me, Kathy Hudson, the October publication of On Walnut Hill: The Evolution of a Garden was exciting. The book now seems to have a life of its own. Recently, for example, photographer
Roger Foley won second place in the International Garden Photographer of the Year competition for a photograph from the book. Continuing to work with the owners of the garden, A.C. and Penney Hubbard, is pure pleasure. Huge thanks to RPCS friends, on and off campus, for generous support. Hope to see everyone in 2017 at our 50th reunion. How did THAT happen?!

The making of On Walnut Hill by Kathy Hudson, 1967
It’s been such a treat for Stuart and me to hear from so many of you. Thank you all for your updates. The themes seem to center around grandchildren and family, ongoing but tapering careers, much great travel, and thoughtful volunteering. Not surprising and pretty appropriate for this stage of our lives. So from north to south and east to west, here’s the news. From New Hampshire, Lee Walker Oxenham writes: 2015 was a big year. My son, Ian, graduated from Haverford College magna cum laude in political science and environmental studies. My husband, Evan, retired and is pursuing his passion for photography. After 50 some years of environmental activism (including serving as Patapsco Riverkeeper for five of them), I currently represent four towns in the House of Representatives of the New Hampshire State Legislature, Plainfield, Springfield, Grantham and Cornish. You may recall that the reclusive J.D. Salinger lived in “remote” Cornish. Two summers ago I got to canvas for votes in his barn! I currently sit on the House Resources, Recreation and Development Committee where we oversee everything from clean water, public lands, invasive species and wetland protections, to the ski and ATV industries. I have three bills before the Legislature this year, all aimed at moving New Hampshire away from a reliance on fossil fuels and to sustainable, renewable energy sources. I’m on the Steering Committee for the New Hampshire Bernie Sanders campaign and the most fun I’ve had all year was introducing his “mystery endorser” at a huge rally at Dartmouth College. The next most fun was judging the Sullivan Co 4-H debate contest-shades of Ms. Faissler! (Those of us who remember Lee’s stellar debating skills are probably not surprised to hear this news!) Barbara “Muff” Winter Glauber reports that she and Bob continue to live in Boston where Bob teaches at Harvard. Muff’s involved with the New England Conservatory of Music and Boston Lyric Opera (more talents put to good use!) Muff writes: Our two children live in NYC where we also are part of most weeks. It is a full and peripatetic life. Ann Lord writes: My husband and I are still in Boston, still running the Boston Ski and Sports Club, but with a staff of 14 we spend time “running” away to
