Molly Curley ’13 (1)
Molly has been working hard balancing her modeling career and college. She recently did big jobs for Reebok and Puma and got the covers on New England Monthly and SOCO Magazine. It’s great that she is getting some hands-on marketing experience which lends well to her studies at Bentley! Connor Gordon ’12
Gordon was the starting lacrosse goalie at Division 1 UMBC and had a great season. It was reported by Coach Salit that he was ranked nationally in saves and save percentage and had at least ten saves in the eight games they had played by mid-season. Josh Kanter ’10
Josh was in the Swampscott local news for his excellence in lacrosse at Franklin & Marshall College in PA. The article describes his interest in hockey starting out at Tabor and then his shift to lacrosse. He was known as the top shutdown guy this year at F&M. Well done, Josh! http://swampscott. wickedlocal.com/article/ 20140318/ SPORTS/140316114/12429/SPORTS
5th Reunion: Class of 2010 T.J. Dyer ’10 (2) T.J. won the deciding match for Northeastern by defeating Boston College 5-4 at the Men’s College Squash Nationals, Division E. The Chaffee Cup involved the last division final scheduled for the tournament. Neither Northeastern nor Boston College was going to go home early. All three of the contests in the first flight of matches went four games. Boston College led 2-1 after the first flight of matches, and they went up 4-2 after the second flight. Northeastern needed to win every remaining match, and they did, sweeping the final three matches 3-0. The final score was Northeastern 5, Boston College 4.

matches featuring several divisions at Harvard’s Murr Center on February 16. Kevin Sullivan ’10 (3)

Beth touched base from the high seas sharing that she has been onboard a Trident ballistic missile submarine, the USS WYOMING, for a little over two years. She offered to speak with anyone interested in a career in the military or in attending a service academy. We wish her all the best in her work! We are so lucky to have people such as Beth and our other Tabor graduates in uniform representing our country with their style, grace and competence! Many thanks to all our service men and women wherever you are.

Lizi Barba ’06
I graduated from UCSC in 2010 and still live in Santa Cruz, California. I left my job at CCOF, California Certified Organic Farmers, in March after almost five years. I recently started as a copywriter at West Marine’s headquarters in Watsonville, CA. It feels pretty natural after sailing my whole life and going to Tabor! I’m happy to be around so many other boating enthusiasts. In my free time, I go to the beach and run a home-based canning company, Lizi’s Cans. Find me at www. etsy.com/shop/liziscans.
