Brandy just passed her six-year work anniversary as Marketing Manager at WBGO. In that capacity, she was a panelist during the Jazz Connect Conference in January in New York City. The topic was audience development for jazz. Brandy said, “It was exciting to be on a panel with three very interesting and experienced women from the world of jazz, moderated by a female jazz publicist. Go ladies!” Brandy was also in the throes of the kindergarten application process for her two lovelies. She said it is such a dramatic journey that Tucker Andrews Winter sent her information about a new off-Broadway comedy on the topic, written by someone she knows. Brandy lamented, ‘It is a multi-layered process and had to use spreadsheets and Google Calendar to keep it all straight!” Blair Whitley reports that she and Katrin Cisne Currens completed the Richmond Marathon in November. She said, “Although we did not run the race together (since Katrin is faster than I am!), we had a great time carpooling to and from the race!” Blair is also keeping busy substituting in St. Christopher’s Extended Day program and volunteering as part of the dog crew at Richmond Animal League. She says it is so hard not to take those cuties home with her each week. Wedding
bells were ringing in Richmond! Paige Hazell married Tee Fallen on February 22. I saw Paige after the wedding, and she is absolutely glowing. We speak for the whole class in offering congratulations to Paige and Tee. Heather Morgan Zifchak is now a certified Jazzercise instructor in WinstonSalem, N.C. It is a perfect part-time job and allows her to spend time with her 8-year-old daughter, Mary Elizabeth. It was great to get news from Ann King Berkman. Ann said, “Oh dear, wish I could give you a birth or something fabulous from up here in Albany, N.Y. We are up to our knees in snow though! I have three little skiers, Isabella (8), Olivia (7), and Cricket (5). We go to Woodstock, Vt, on the weekends, and they ski at Suicide Six. I am the co-Head of the Lower School at Doane Stuart, an independent school where all three of the girls go.” This year’s reunion at St. Catherine’s kicked off Celebrate 125, co-chaired by none other than our classmate, Biz Elder Read. There are many exciting events planned during this year-long celebration of the the School’s 125 years of history. Thank you Biz!

Maria Spalding Hadlow, 2339 Albion Pl., St. Louis, MO 63104; mariahadlow@yahoo.com (Retiring! Need new correspondent!) Hello from St. Louis! I don’t have a great deal to report this go-around, as I think many of us are busy juggling our social and professional lives with our children’s homework and their endless extracurricular activities. Case in point, Susan Teal managed a brief trip to Charleston to visit Banner Adams this spring. Susan said it was “fun catching up with her . . . the first time ever that I had been away from my family.” LeaAnna Hazzard Miller reports that her family is enjoying the “peaceful countryside” of Louisa, Va. on a horse farm, where they “have lots of little critters and show hunter horses and ponies.” All eight of the Hazzard children have been home-schooled; the oldest, Juliette, attends the University of Alaska and their son Isaiah attends the VCU School of Biomedical Engineering. LeaAnna herself is attending school to become a naturopathic doctor, while “leading missions trips all over the world and continuing to homeschool the other six
