Peterson writes, “Our family is growing, with all three boys married. We now have two grandchildren. This year we have done a lot of traveling, mostly in the United States. Next year, we are planning a trip to Turkey.

Her daughter, Katie, is a sophomore at USC, where she is a film major. • Cindy Crabtree tells us, “I am currently a timeshare resort manager at the Club at Fountain Hills in Fountain Hills, Arizona, the beautiful red rock area just northeast of Scottsdale. Kate Gonzales Woodard (TASIS, TE Staff) owns a resort unit here also, so I get to see her almost yearly. Hey, if any of you old PG ‘66ers want to come for a visit I can give you a great rate! Email me at theclub@ qwest.net. I am also a realtor for Century 21, the Scottsdale branch. I was at the 40th reunion bash last in May 2006 in Lugano with six other classmates. I was the only female, what luck! Right now, I’m planning a trip with Charlie James and his wife for July 2008. We are trading houses with a friend outside of London just 6 miles from the TASIS campus in Surrey. Any old PG alums want to connect somewhere in Merry old England?” 90
the TASIS experience once lived and learned is always a part of one even should one believe otherwise. TASIS is a rush of memories fondly sipped of an ancient rhyton never to be set down, but always held firmly to be drunk from with warmth and never forgotten. For 27 years I have been a paralegal. My love of the law, its history, and mankind’s always evolving attempts to govern themselves may not but amaze one. I wish all who have passed through the magic Mrs. Fleming brought, well and for those now on that journey or about to embark...bon voyage--for they are about to get as close to a magic carpet ride as is possible…”

S. Jason Prohaska lives in New York City and is a managing partner of an interactive firm, www.bigspaceship .com. He continues to make photographs with old Polaroid cameras, publish photo books, and travel a lot. He keeps in touch with several alums. • Jason Alan Snyder is currently based in Philadelphia and is a global technology ideation consultant and innovator with over 100 patents and counting...and still enjoys the smell of new electronics. • Courtney Daly-Pavone tell us she, “recently accepted a new position as a Publicity Consultant for Hay House Inc., a publishing company in Carlsbad, California. I manage marketing and public relations for several authors, many of them are New York Times Bestsellers! Ben Stein, Suze Orman, Tavist Smiley, Montel Williams, Sylvia Browne, Dr. Oz, and John Edward are just a few of our authors. My husband, Maurizio, and I have been house hunting in San Diego. We finally decided to make it our permanent home. We love the perfect weather 365 days a year, the relaxed lifestyle, and living on the beach. We are very excited about returning to Italy in September to meet the Pope! When we renewed our wedding vows last year in Palermo, the Pope gave our marriage two blessings. We go to Sicily every year to see my husband’s family and Vermont 2-3 times a year to see my mom. While on the East Coast we see many of our TASIS family. I stay in touch with many of my classmates including Jane (Pollock) Wirch who gave birth to a lovely baby boy Henry born April 27th, 2007, Paul Cohen who is the proud
father of two boys, Lynne (Farrell) Lyons who is the proud mother of a lovely daughter, Gweneth, and Andrea Kaufman who is living in Newburyport, MA, and starting her own adventure tourism business. Fellow alumni Celina Calvert and Greg Mauro also live in San Diego, but I lost touch with them. Greg is in venture capital and has raised millions of dollars for charter schools in San Diego. I would love to see them for coffee and conversation. Nina Ross is doing great in the Big Apple, and Annie Franzenburg is living the dream in Maui, Hawaii. She has been there for over a decade. When we finally made the long voyage to the islands a couple of years ago, I fell in love with Hawaii. If you’re ever in Maui, look Annie up (alohaitalia@yahoo.com).”
