either with social media, website design, or are hands-on with designing and setups. My husband helps with deliveries and pick-ups when he isn’t handling his own investment advisory business, and is an important part of my success. Matthew and I will celebrated 31 years of marriage in June. We travel as often as we can and have a trip planned for Italy and Spain this year. Life moves at lightening speed, but we are thankful for terrific daughters, being together, busy and happy.” Kate Stockwell Hussey: “Kevin and I had an awesome jeep trip this spring to Moab for the 50th Annual Easter Jeep Safari with thousands of our closest friends that we never knew we had. We are working on projects around the house, building a fire pit and new deck and loving living in the Denver foothills with our dog, Roxie.” Courtney Tunney Hotchkis: “I have been busy with my girls. My oldest will be a freshman at UC Berkeley this fall and I have an eighth grader at Mayfield Junior School. No empty nesting for a while. Missing Jenny Moulton-Post since her move to northern California. But excited to see her while visiting my daughter. Can’t wait for our reunion.” Jenny Moulton-Post: “Leslie and I just moved back to the Bay Area, nine years after we left. Leslie is the new CEO of the firm she works for, so we had to say goodbye to Pasadena. I’ll miss being able to see Courtney Tunney Hotchkis so frequently. I have been really busy over the last seven years with real estate, mostly remodeling and managing commercial property, but I am happy to say that I finally gave up my license after 20 years. I’ll never be able to leave real estate behind for good (remodeling on our new house starts soon), but I’m ready for new challenges. For the past 5 years, I have been volunteering at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art working with the modern art curators and on the board of the 200-person volunteer organization and I have been volunteering at a food pantry that serves the poor and homeless in Pasadena. I’m still studying German and go to Germany once a year; this year with my younger sister Stefanie Post Pollard ’85 and her family. My other passion has been my dogs and training them in agility, nose work, and getting them certified as therapy dogs. I was recently up in Seattle and got to see Kelly Dwight Heuga-Hamill and Peggy Frasse ’84 and am still on the Alumnae Board so I get to see Ann Frasse Stowe at those meetings. Susan Lockwood and I seem to have a standing get together every fall. Looking forward to seeing everyone next

year.” Deborah Petteway: “I’ve moved to Unalakleet, AK. Working for different company and happy I moved. I live a block from the ocean front; I can see the Bering Sea from most of my windows! Town is gorgeous. I’ve experienced another medevac flight with paramedics who rescued a hypothermic patient who had a stroke. I delivered another baby—a boy this time. I experienced the Iditarod from beginning in Anchorage to end in Nome. Took helicopter ride to last stop before Nome and experienced mushers coming in and being processed through the stop with marshals and vets. I’ve been stopped on the road by musk ox and hissed at by fox—I’m loving the adventures and Alaska! I foraged greens and berries in tundra, fish the river and ocean. I make jam, pickle foods, and have a garden with potatoes, onion, zucchini, and have several grow pots in house for peppers and herbs. The ocean is my happy zone and look forward to ocean walks with my classmates next year!”

Victoria Manassero Maat junebugjump@icloud.com In April 2016, many old friends gathered to celebrate their 50th year. It was absolutely wonderful to spend time with these beautiful, accomplished women. It was like no time had passed once we started catching up. From our main event organizer, Kim Harris Hayes: “Thank you to Lara Graham Trupelli ’86, sister of Merede Graham, who donated the party room at her amazing lakeside restaurant, Lake Chalet. Emily Ibabao Marley and Jennifer Merriman Cazares offered hours of assistance (and laughs) with planning, menu selection, dessert, and logistics. Joanne Van Der Plas Viola and Liz Kirk Sondern donated the beautiful decorations. Liz actually made the gorgeous preppy-themed flower arrangements. We also had much appreciated assistance from Mary Looram Mosslander, Victoria Manassero Maat, Hilda Roe and Shannon Tunney McDonald, who unfortunately could not attend. Thank you to everyone who sent photos and to the stars of our video toasts. Jennifer Leaper did a great job emceeing and motivating people to come! I also appreciate our sisters who crossed oceans to attend: Mihan Kwon and Cheryl Bedwell Bigus.
