was one that was made to be shared among close, longtime friends.” In No- vember she and husband Gary spent a great weekend with Yvonne “Ivan” Strachwitz McQuilkin and Art Henshaw at their beautiful Newburyport, MA, home, a historic property that they have lovingly restored. Ivan has five grandchil- dren, all around the same ages as Susan’s five grands. Susan’s daughter Sarah Spag- nola Young ’95 has been living in Mont- clair, NJ, with husband Dennis and their two children since their return from Lon- don. Susan’s daughter Amy lives in Char- lottesville, VA, with husband Kevin and their three children; they are slated to move to Seattle, WA, in June. Susan is on the boards of several nonprofits and speaks to various groups about nonprofit governance issues. While they do not get to their Boca Raton, FL, condo often enough, the Spagnolas have been doing so more frequently this year. Gary is beginning to wind down his law practice. ANN C.

for our 45th reunion, May 31 to June 3. If you are still deciding, make up your mind to attend now On December 27, Janet Reder Hersey married Jay Ham, 47 years after they met while working as camp counselors in the Adirondacks. Janet’s daughter Page, who lives in Fairfax, CA, and son Tyler, who flew in from New Zealand, plus a small assort- ment of friends and relatives, celebrated at a hilltop ceremony in San Rafael, CA. Janet says, “Jay finally made me an hon- est woman ” The couple has been living happily in Anacortes, WA, “amidst the orcas and eagles.” Jay is an anesthesiolo- gist at a local hospital, and Janet is transi- tioning from her marketing writing con- sultancy to “something greener and more creative.” Pam Scharmann Stewart and Douglas made two more visits to the J.C. Camp- bell Folk School in Brasstown, NC, last fall; Pam took a course on making a solid cherry Scottish Bible box, and Douglas took a Scottish cooking class.

August the couple enjoyed a reunion with all their children, their spouses, and five grandchildren at a San Clemente, CA, beach house. Pam recently bought a con- ductor’s baton and is using it to direct an early-music group, which she finds “twice as much fun as singing.” In October she went hiking around Lake Como in Italy and then spent a week in Rome. She is now at work on a photo project and sub- stitute teaching. She looks forward to see- ing everyone at Reunion. Joanie Todt Michaels and husband Ed have been involved in Teach for America for some time and now serve on its board. Passionate about education and helping children, Joanie is also on the board of UNICEF (southeast region), and she was part of a group field visit to Honduras. She enjoys playing golf and tennis as well as spending fun time with her grandchil- dren in Atlanta, GA. Christie Ellis Courtney joined Sandy
MAY 31–JUNE 3
Harrod Frigon and Betty Corcoran Demarco for a wonderful week at the Jersey shore last July. The trio tries to get together at least a couple of times a year. Although no longer teaching, Jessica- Jean Fletcher is still working in the health professions. She has been a Reiki volunteer at Maine Medical Center for the past two years and finds it very reward- ing. In 2010 she began volunteering at Maine Medical’s Scarborough Cancer Center in a pilot program, offering free Reiki sessions to patients, families, care- givers, and staff. Anecdotal reports from clients who have taken these sessions sug- gest they have less pain and anxiety and are more relaxed.

Appleton, ME, resident Eliza Coc- roft Bailey was surprised by a
visit from Kathy Cole-Kelly last summer. Kathy arrived by boat in nearby Rockland Harbor. Their visit was pleasant, if short. Kathy meets up with Margie Seelbach Wheeler for a monthly dinner and feels fortunate for their continuing friendship. Kathy’s children are doing well: her daughter is director of events and devel- opment with the Paris Review, and her son is a comedy screenwriter who has sold several screenplays. Suzan Frank Rose, a real estate agent
in Greenwich, CT, reports meeting a Skid- more alumna while completing a trans- action. She finds time to enjoy grandsons
Tucker and Winston, who live nearby with Suzan’s son Carter Rose ’97 and his wife, Dancia. Suzan and Marty had a wonderful time at a wedding in Buenos Aires. They are both still working full- time and enjoying their busy lives. Patsy Kern Zendel (patzendel@yahoo. com) and Danny happily divide their time between Manhattan and Southampton, NY. Patsy still tutors Bronxville high- schoolers in SAT prep, literature, and his- tory. She enjoys time with stepchildren Allison and Michael and their spouses and children. She stays in touch with Karen Feinberg Arsenault in York, ME, and Nancy Harris Lippman in Santa Ynez, CA. Patsy is also devoted to her three West Highland terriers, one of which, a show dog named Justin, is ranked among the top eight Westies in America. I am greatly saddened to report the death of Carol Schreder in December. She was fatally injured in a bike accident near her home in Topanga, CA. Carol was a critically acclaimed writer-producer for television and films and an accomplished triathlete. Dear friend Janice Brophy Billingsley recalls working on the Skid- more News with Carol, who served as coeditor along with Anne Cantor and Susie Hirsch Schwartz. “All of us would stay up half the night once a week to put the paper to bed. The friendship that began in the stuffy newspaper office on the second floor of Hathorn House grew, over the subsequent 45 years, into one of the sustaining pleasures of my life. I miss her very much.” DOROTHY KANRICH SANDFORD 333 E. 53RD STREET, APT. 7E NEW YORK, NY 10022
