If you’d like a copy of the full notes, contact the Alumni Office; the following is the significantly abbreviated version: Ruth Berkowitz and family are back from a two-year sailing adventure, now anchored on land, living in Portland and Hood River, OR, where Ruth is a writer, mediator, mother/chauffeur, and proponent of saving our oceans. Stefano Bini and family live in San Francisco, and he is an orthopedic surgeon at Kaiser Permanente in Oakland. He loves teaching, windsurfing, cooking, and photography. Natasha Leof Boas is a curator, writer, and professor of contemporary art and theory in San Francisco and lives with her family in Mill Valley. She enjoys staying in touch with Caitlin McCaffrey, Erin Wilson, and David Leiber. Elizabeth Carmen missed the reunion because she and her family were hiking in England and Scotland. She home-schools her two children and still fences—with Rob Spivack.
