Take Note teaching at Mount Holyoke, which is where I ended up in college. I loved her sense of humor and her manner of teaching French in a lively, fun way. A few years later, she left Walker’s and started teaching French at Hotchkiss (and married another teacher there). Years later, our friendship was rekindled when all three of my children were at Hotchkiss, although none of my kids had her for French.” Katherine “Kitty” Humpstone says,
“I’m another fan of Miss Hunt. I made it to the EWS big anniversary event (but not the photo op), and it was fun to do a bit of catch up.” Gilda Rogers sends this note, “Hi,
everyone. Everything sounds great! I have a family reunion in August so I am not sure I can make it both financially and time-off wise. I am investigating a weekend visit instead of coming up on Wednesday. Still working it out. Put me down as maybe. For those of us who may not make it, please consider setting up a Google+ or Skype visit that weekend!” From Lisa Harrington Foote comes news: “I’m still on the fence for the Vineyard in September. We usually go to Montana to help friends ship their calves that time of year, but we won’t know the dates until late summer.” Karen Brooks writes, “Patrick’s gone to Bahrain! How things change.”

Chicks With Guns: A Picture Of GunToting Women. It’s a “cultural portrait of women gun owners in America through
photographs that are both beautiful and in a sense unexpected” (NPR). The book explores issues related to gender and selfimage and gun ownership as a part of each woman’s lifestyle. Lindsay is a fine art photographer and lives in New York and California. Check out her National Public Radio interview about her work at http://www.npr.org/2011/11/26/142662 771/chicks-with-guns-a-picture-of-guntoting-women. Congratulations, Lindsay! Diane Solomon Doppelt writes, “I ran into Kathryn “Kathy” McCarthy Parsons on a plane going to Vail, CO.
We were both staying in Beaver Creek and met up for a latte. She’s great; we had lots of laughs! Just like the old days!” Catherine “Cathy” Munson Rogerson writes, “Here is a picture of
us having a mini-reunion in Providence, RI, for lunch. All well and still a very chatty bunch!” (see below) Barbara Hillman LaPorte writes, “We
have an exciting year ahead. My husband and I are celebrating our 30th anniversary this May aboard the Queen Mary II. Time has gone so quickly. Our sons are 24 and 27, working in finance in Chicago and the tech industry in McLean VA. Both are happy and well, so we are very fortunate. My parents turn 80 at the end of this year, so we will all gather in Stowe, VT, where they have lived for the past 50 years, to celebrate!
