team at Advanced Broadcast Solutions as the director of operations. Now, the family lives together, works together, eats together, and plays a lot of poker together. I am excited for my new adventure but miss my family and friends in Arizona. If you are visiting the PNW, give me a call.

Victoria Manassero Maat junebugjump@icloud.com It was heartwarming to see so many gorgeous faces at our 30th. We gathered in Study Hall to listen to the morning announcements; the girls were clever and funny. Almost all the Friday attendees signed up for Mr. Oder’s class, and he was as entertaining as ever. The campus is even more beautiful! Mr. Reed met a bunch of gals at Carmel Beach while Louise Hunt Sandy and daughter Charlie visited with Mrs. Howell. I heard

from everyone that the banquet dinner was fantastic. One hundred percent of the time, we were well-behaved ladies (bwah-ha-ha!). In attendance were Mary Looram Moslander, Jennifer Leaper, Melena Scampa, Jennifer Beesley, Yvette Chamlian Richmond, Cheryl Bedwell Bigus, Delia Temi Stallings, Perry Ruyan Hosseini, Emily Ibabao Marley, Hilda Roe, Dawn Ferguson, Kim Harris Hayes, Beth Crawford Crosby, Louise Hunt Sandy, and Victoria Manassero Maat. I have to thank Cheryl for kicking off all the responses below. Cheryl Bedwell Bigus: It’s winter here but let me tell you that isn’t a hardship. My kids (15 and 14) are in the middle of their school year. I’m writing and working on my business part time (euphoricroots. com). I don’t have any plans to travel anymore this year except perhaps around New Zealand. I feel like I have finally found home. It amazes me that we are old enough to have kids in college and beyond. I don’t feel that I am coming up on 48 next month. I think it’s because it really doesn’t matter in the grand scheme of reinventing ourselves over and over and over! Cindy Pruett Hucke: Busy mom of a 16-year-old boy who just got his permit and two others (11 and 12) who play baseball all year. Long Island has been home for 22 years. My entire family is in California, so my long-term friends have
made New York feel like home. Colleen Roscoe Graham: Son Jacob graduated from high school this year. He started at San Francisco State in the fall. Daughter Jocelyn (24) lives and works in the Bay Area, where she graduated from college two years ago. My youngest is at home for the next three years, thank goodness. I am not ready for an empty nest. Husband Jeff and I will celebrate 25 years of marriage in November. Elizabeth Kirk Sondern: Our family went to Asheville, NC for a wonderful two-week vacation. Katrina, who entered sixth grade in September, is already taller than me. She enjoys swim team as much as I did growing up. Greg started a new job as facility director at Grace Cathedral and loves it. Anyone who wants a special tour, contact me. I continue to work at La Petite Baleen Swim School and love it. Sorry to have missed the reunion. Emily Ibabao Marley: Kids went to Shakespeare camp, and then we headed off for some camping. Heidi Hauserman Wilmott: My wonderful father passed away in March (during the reunion, sorry I missed that, too) and mom moved into a nursing home. Good news is that I’m enjoying my family in Iowa. Halle, a senior, spent summer in Europe, and Megan is a freshman. Halle and I just returned from D.C. for National History Day. I still sub for PreK and kindergarten aids and enjoy the sport of tennis. I saw the following Catalinans this year: Heidi Buchman Hayes, Colleen Roscoe Graham, and Valerie Budinger Thayer on the way to a summer camp at Notre Dame. Judy Kleppe: Will graduated from high school at the end of May. He traveled to Italy with my parents and one of his cousins to visit my mom’s family in Lucca. In September, he started the architecture program at the University of Oregon, but it’s possible he’ll end up being a law enforcement officer. As for me, trying to gain a bit of momentum for earning my hours toward my MFT— slowly but surely. I’ve been working in a private practice internship in Rockridge (Oakland) for two years. Before that, while I was still in school, I was working in San Francisco at the Church Street Integral Counseling Center, which is a Gestalt-based training clinic associated with CIIS (California Institute of Integral Studies). Before and concurrent with that, I took calls at San Francisco Suicide Prevention for nearly two years. Eric is happy as a clam in his practice, and is now the president of the Alameda County Dental Society. Finally, I still have my
