Daughter Carley is enjoying her freshman year at Union College. In Ossining, NY, Karin Liljestrand Puff decided to build a bigger house now that the kids are out. Ben is a senior at SUNY- Albany, Jenny is a freshman at Providence College, and Kristina is a junior at a Cath - olic high school and plans to head south for college (Karin is considering going with her!). Karin and hubby Ken have run a tool- and party-rental business for the last 30 years. Jenny has had Type I diabetes since childhood; Karin welcomes hearing from anyone who needs support around this illness. Lesley Norman’s PBS show NOW was canceled last spring. After some great time off, she took a job in Boston as executive director of Filmmakers Collaborative, a nonprofit that works with independent filmmakers locally and nationally. She re - cently moved to Belmont and is happily settling in. Over the summer she and Sue Billerbeck Whalen and Elaine Pantages- Conti went to Skidmore’s Palamountain Polo Benefit, which she said was a blast; she shared a table with Leighton Jordan ’78 and Dee Dameo Gross and husband Greg.


Karen Schumann Scoles had a great visit to Skidmore with daughter Lizzi, a high school senior. They arrived on opening day of the racing season, and the excitement included locking their keys in the car at Saratoga Spa State Park. Karen was im - pressed with all the changes on campus. Son Drew is in an MD-PhD program at the University of Rochester. In May Wendy Simpson relocated to Saratoga Springs, NY, where she continues graphic design, illustration, and marketing.

Wendy lives with Lisa Giordano Martel at her horse farm, Blue Moon Acres. Laura Anderson Wood re - cently performed at Lisa’s birthday party, which Lori Gedon, Jennifer Warner, and Nancy Bowen ’80 also attended. It was a great mini-reunion. Wendy passes along greetings from Skidmore Professor Emeri - tus David Miller (a Springwater fan) to all art majors. When not wielding a whisk or navigating InDesign, Wendy continues to write poetry.


After a career as marketing director at People, Time, and Inc. magazines, Wendy McAllister switched to education. She got a master’s in early childhood develop- ment, taught first grade at the Fessenden School in West Newton, MA, for eight
