Key Giles Michel had a busy August away from New Jersey! She went to the Summer Olympics in Rio to meet her husband Rich, who works for NBC Sports. She had a great time and never saw a mosquito! Key was lucky enough to see the USA Women's gymnastics team win Team Gold, Michael Phelps win two of his many Golds and the beach volleyball events on Copacabana Beach! After she returned to the U.S., she was able to catch up with Elizabeth Davenport Edmonds, Suzanne Wishnack Morris and Melisa Dray Hudson in Richmond before spending a week with her sister, Susanna Giles Holt ’91, and family in Bald Head Island, N.C. To end the summer, the Michel family went to Aruba for some relaxation for Rich, who had been in Rio for three weeks. Wow Key! That’s a month to remember. Leslie Abercrombie Noland writes, “Our oldest son Will is off to Tulane this year. Hallie started her second year at St. George’s in Newport. I am so excited as Emily Lyon Allen's ’90 son started there this year. Parents weekends will be much more fun with Emily!” Leslie also reports that she visited Augusta, Ga., and had a blast connecting with Molly Dozier McDowell ’90. Heather Morgan Zifchak is putting her Joni Rodman dance moves to good use! She is a certified Jazzercise instructor in Winston Salem, N.C. She and husband Pete celebrated their 13th anniversary this fall, and 9-year-old Mary Elizabeth keeps them all on their toes! All is well in Summit, N.J., with Breene
Mae Sutlive, daughter of Nell Pittman Sutlive ’93, and Mary Gaughan Curtin, daughter of Page Boyette Curtin ’93, on their annual beach trip
Farrington Wesson. Breene writes, “Love seeing Key Michel and her girls and also saw Anne Rhodes Huneke this summer at the beach. Kids are getting big! Charlotte is in 9th (high school, gulp!), Caroline in 7th and Sam in 4th and they keep busy dancing, and doing sports. Let Key and me know if any of you make a New York trip – we sometimes see those photos posted, and it's easy for us to run in and say hello!” Dagny Jackson Collier is excited that son Jackson graduated from college in May; son Oliver graduated from high school in June, and went away to school, so it's just daughter Erin at home now. She started middle school this year. In career news Dagny happily shared that her one-act play, “Fishing for Fate,” was published by Pioneer Drama and is on its website for theater groups to purchase and perform. Congratulations Dagny!

25th Reunion, April 21-22 Liz Booker Staub, lizbstaub@gmail.com Tanner Smith Pilcher reports, “My husband Mason and I are enjoying our son Colston (age 2) who loves books, golf and his puppies Ava and Lacey.” Alison Monroe Martin writes, “Eric and I are still in Oregon with our boys Vake (7), Gil (4) and baby Mac (almost a year). I am the Deputy District Attorney for Klamath County, where I prosecute those accused of violent crimes. We are looking forward to a trip east to see Andrea Fisher Erda and her three children this summer. We miss Richmond and our friends so much but are enjoying our West Coast adventure.”

I, your class correspondent Page, had the pleasure of attending an evening for St. Catherine’s and St. Christopher’s alumnae/i in San Francisco last February at the home of Susanna Giles Holt ’91. What a fun opportunity it was to connect with fellow Saints living in the Bay Area. From our class, it was great to see Peyton Williams (St. Chris ’93) who has lived in the Bay Area with his family for several years now. I was excited to hear about the extraordinary school St. Catherine’s continues to be under the leadership of Dr. Terrie Hale Scheckelhoff. There was much talk about the upcoming 125th Anniversary Celebration, “Party Through the Decades.” Lindsay Bowen Adamson emailed that she and Eliza Siegel Branch both attended the Decades Event. According to Lindsay, "It was awesome. The decorations were fantastic as was the band. We danced until the very end!” Lindsay also served on a 125th committee called Chapel Talks. Her group consisted of Kathryn Clary Angus ’94 and Sarah Tune Price ’95. They planned and presented two chapels during the school year with the themes, “Growing Up on Campus” and “Community Service Through the Decades.” Thank you to Carrie Featherstone Hoge who is serving her second year as President of the Ellett-St. Catherine's Alumnae Association Richmond Chapter Board. Congratulations to Ciara Torres-Spelliscy who has been flying across the country to talk about her book “Corporate Citizen? An Argument for the Separation of Corporation and State.” Her last stop was at Columbia Law School. Over the summer, Meg Morton Sauer loved having KK Harris McCart visit her in Chicago. Nell Pittman Sutlive and I enjoyed our annual beach time together as well. Lucky for Nell and me, our girls seemed to enjoy reconnecting as much as their mothers! Please email Nell and me your news throughout the year. We will be sure to include your updates in class notes.
