Eva Goldfarb '84 has been awarded an
honorary doctorate of humane letters from the Starr King School for the Ministry, the seminary for the Unitarian Universalist Association, in Berkeley, CA. Goldfarb is an associate professor in Health Professions, Physical Education, Recreation and Leisure Studies at Montclair State University in New Jersey. This recognition came as a result of her work on two groundbreaking sexuality education curricula, one for grades four to six and one for grades 10 to 12, titled Our Whole Lives. These curricula were developed for use by the Unitarian Universalist Association, as well as secular groups, and they are part of a series that covers grades K-1 and 7-9, as well as adults. The co-author, Elizabeth Casparian, also was recognized with an honorary degree. In presenting the doctorate, Rebecca Parker, president of the Starr King School, said, "In creating the Our Whole Lives curricula . .. you have rendered important service to the advancement of liberal religious education, and have demonstrated the wisdom and importance of empowering young people to know themselves and their world in freedom."

Jane continues that she is "loving parenthood, worrying about our world, making decisions based on our family being together, and thinking how long it's been since our Fifth (less depressing than thinking about how long it's been since graduation)."

It continues to be a small Trinity world out there. We had one late but informative response from Peter Stinson , who insists the reason so few of us are writing in is that "We are all too **** busy." Peter sure is. He was released from active duty following an mvoluntary recall after the attacks of9/ 11 w hen he spent a year at the Coast Guard's Atlantic Area command center, serving as a watch stander for homeland defense and maritime search & rescue. He says the highlight of his active duty stint was a trip to visit maritime rescue coordination centers in England, France, Belgium, and The Netherlands. While most of his time was spent looking for best practices that the United States could use, he did get a short visit in Amsterdam. Peter is now back to his civilian job as an internal consultant for the Coast Guard, working with senior leadership on leadership and management issues, and taking care of his two sons, Andrew and Richard. In his free time, he is working on a master's degree from the Naval War College with this year's focus on national security decision making. He also
