Alumni Notes
alumni notes... 1978
Alumni notes are compiled by Mimi Youmans, Director of Alumni and Parent Relations. Alumni Notes are just a snapshot of what’s happening with your fellow alums! If you have a milestone in your life or fun news to share, please send updates and photos to: mimi.youmans@ssfs.org We are currently developing a new alumni module for our website that will allow SSFS alumni to more easily share their news and connect with one another and the School. We expect it to go live soon and will keep you posted!
Lisa Klein '78 writes in from Staunton, VA, where she is working as a police officer and has recently transferred from an administrative back to a patrol position, which she is enjoying. Lisa enjoys her two dogs, and she has two grown daughters; she writes, "Alex is engaged to be married and is at W&L Law School. Elisabeth is a nurse. They both live close enough that I get to see them pretty often. I try to stay in touch with Susan Lewis Hadash and Deborah Mozer Horan, and other CHNG friends." She also writes that "it has been a tough year. My husband, Mark Diehl, passed away Feb. 11, 2013, from pancreatic cancer. He fought a hard battle for 17 months and died the day after his 44th birthday. I took some of his ashes to Japan this February, spending our anniversary, his birthday, and death date there, where we had spent some amazing times together." Lisa hopes to see everyone at SSFS alumni events this year.
1983 Lisa Penkowsky '83 writes, "My mom enrolled me into SSFS in high school. I graduated SSFS in 1983, and went on to earn undergraduate and graduate school degrees. After a few jobs, I made my way back to SSFS to become an English teacher in the Middle School and have been here for the last twenty years. Thank you, Mom. We miss you!

After 12 years in the classroom, I went back to school and earned my Masters in School Guidance and Counseling and have been a school counselor for the past 8 years. I currently work at one of the larger high schools in the area and enjoy working with a diverse population of students. On my off time, I enjoy traveling the globe.
