food truck business in Washington, D.C. Nathan moved to Phoenix last summer and we like visiting him there, especially this February 2016. I am getting gradually creaky and slow, but grateful to be here enjoying the days as much as possible. Love to all of you! Debbie Humm-Bremser: Four years ago, I began a six-month interferon treatment to cure my Hep C. During that hellish time, I got a sacral pressure sore that I am still trying to heal! Later this month, I will have surgery to repair and hopefully get my life back. Our eldest, Patrick, married Jana in July 2013 and they are our modern day hippies, living in Soquel, CA. He’s a personal chef and she is as good as he is. Patrick has also become an accomplished surf photographer. Daughter Colleen has been back home for three years, studying pharmacy technology. On my 60th birthday, we were at Disneyland when her boyfriend proposed in front of the castle! Michael (30) is back home, completing pre-reqs in forestry at MPC to be able to transfer and complete his degree. Joe, who is my fellow LMU alum, followed me to Loyola Rome, where he met his dream girl from Helsinki. He moved to Finland in December of 2014 and he is learning to speak Suomi! Tom and I hope to retire to Grass Valley in 2018 and finally get to enjoy that long elusive empty nest. He will have been at CHOMP for 24 years! He wants to live closer to skiing, on the road between Sacramento and Reno. It will be an adventure! Leigh Mahone Hoburg: My husband and I went to Asia in 2015 (Vietnam, Cambodia, and Hong Kong)
for three weeks. It was a great trip – with a big emphasis on seeing where the war was fought and where my dad was stationed in 1968. In Cambodia, we saw the Temples of Angkor. Words don’t describe it but I do recommend it! (My husband took 14,000 pictures in 3 weeks). I ran a half marathon in November in Savannah, GA and will do my second one in March in D.C. I probably could have walked faster than I ran it. I will see Laura Cornett and Donna Moniz Davis (and their husbands) in just a couple weeks in N.Y.C.—can’t wait. Tina Greene: I celebrated my 60th birthday by launching my new website, which I invite everyone to visit: tinagreenewisdom.com. It’s actually a lovely place to visit on the web— calm, easy on the eye, and informative without being overwhelmed. Since practicing law is no longer an option due to Post Concussive Syndrome resulting from the car accident I was in almost five years ago, I am now speaking, doing life and spiritual coaching, and teaching Intentional Creativity® classes and workshops. I have been speaking regularly at Sunday services at Centers for Spiritual Living in the greater Sacramento area and looking to expand my reach in 2016. I entered my first art show in San Francisco in November and sold the two paintings (giclee reproductions of originals) that I entered before the opening weekend was over! While I am not yet generating the income I hope to, I am loving my job! And finally, I enjoyed a wonderful Christmas visit with my old son, Palmer, and his girlfriend, Marina. Diane Hull Gansauer: My biggest news of the year is that Bob and I celebrated the marriage of our daughter, Grete, to Zach Miller in July in Crested Butte, CO. They are now living in Tina Greene ’73 with son Palmer and his girlfriend Marina
The great-great aunt of Tracy McDonald ’73
Montana. I completed hiking the 486-mile Colorado Trail—not all at once, but persistence over the past four summers paid off. Lucy Butler: Working on my Shakespeare project for women only; sick of men doing all of the Shakespeare. Saw Teresa Barger in L.A. for dinner. It was so great to see her and her daughter Emilia is engaged! Talked to Basia Belza—she is so incredibly helpful with aging issues and the family—and she took an amazing rafting trip with Shelby Dulin Perley and Sue Weyerhaeuser Messina! I picked up Bobbie at LAX and drove to Palm Springs with her, with some
Sue Weyerhauser Messina ’73, Shelby Dulin Perley ’73, and Basia Belza ’73
