CLASS news maintain a social life that brings her to Raleigh quite a bit to visit with friends and old Saint Mary’s classmates. She especially enjoyed seeing her old roommates Tracy Woolard Mayo and Kim Norfleet Collie ’88C at the Saint Mary’s Auction Gala this March! As for me, this past year meant big changes. I uprooted from North Carolina in pursuit of a new role with Nationwide Insurance in the Akron-Canton, Ohio, area and now have responsibilities for the personal lines processing operations in Canton, Ohio; Raleigh; Lincoln, Neb.; and Des Moines, Iowa. I love this experience, as I am traveling and meeting many of our associates and business partners across the country. Personally, I continue to enjoy time with family and friends as well as personal travel as much as I can manage. I have a young nephew and two nieces living 35 minutes from me now, which has been a wonderful part of this change. Life is good! Happy 25th, Class of 1989! I look forward to hearing what others are doing as well! Laura Query
