lived in Montana for 19 years and feels blessed that all three of her kids live with- in 15 minutes of her home. She enjoys following the sports activities of her two grandkids. Molly is in her 21st year selling real estate. She still rides her two horses and is grateful for good health. This past summer Jane Schwager crossed the Atlantic from New York to Southampton, England, on the Queen Mary II, and then spent five weeks in Lon - don. On a friend’s recommendation, she rented a flat in the Chelsea-Kensington area and “lived like a Londoner.” Sally Oppenheim Lebowich appreci -
ated the mild winter of 2012 and last March visited friends in North Carolina. She described our 50th reunion as “an enjoyable long weekend.” Afterward, Sally attended the annual convention of the Supreme Session of Daughters of the Nile in Portland, OR, and then the Imperial Session of Shriners International in Char - lotte, NC, where a friend was in stalled as Imperial Potentate—both trips were great fun. After being diagnosed with angina, in August she had a stent inserted to alle- viate a 95% blockage. Sally sold her sum- mer house of 47 years at Great Sacandaga Lake, finding the maintenance of two homes too much to handle. She antici- pates a very different summer. Sharon Burge Lockwood’s younger son graduated from Harvard Business School and got married. His wife is in her second year of Georgetown University Law School, while he is a consultant for Booze & Com - pany; they live in D.C. Sharon’s 4-year- old granddaughter entered Atlanta Inter - na tional School, where only Spanish is spoken. Sharon and husband David were headed off to Australia, the only conti- nent they have yet to visit. Joan Todd Lewis and husband Bob cele- brated their 50th wedding anniversary in November with a trip to Argentina, the Falkland Islands, South Georgia Island, and Antarctica, following the path of explorer Sir Ernest Shackleton. “This was a trip of a lifetime, and the scenery phe- nomenal,” Joan says. Molly Elsey Anderson and husband
Peirce celebrated 50 years of marriage by visiting Alaska last spring and spending time on their boat in the fall. They en - joyed winter cruising before returning to the Chesapeake this spring. After living on Marco Island for 36 years, Dana Tiley Cleary has moved to Wesley Chapel, FL. She observes, “I’m so sad about leaving so many friends, but it is also a new phase in my life and I’m looking forward to it.”
Nancy Smith Bushnell enjoyed our
50th and then attended a reunion at the Emma Willard School in Troy. She went on to Milwaukee for a wedding, Annapo - lis for husband Vic’s reunion, and Port - land, OR, and Lafayette, CO, to visit chil- dren and grandchildren. She also had great fun on a weeklong paddle-wheel steamboat trip on the Mississippi. Saralee Elegant Evans writes, “What was a very good year ended sadly. My wonderful friend Karen Goldman Gerson died in November. We met freshman year at Skidmore when she was 16 and I was 17. We remained close friends throughout the years, helping each other through good times and bad. I will miss her.” Sara - lee has now embarked on a third career. After a mandatory retirement from the New York State Supreme Court bench, she, her husband, and two friends formed a law firm (Siegel, Teitelbaum & Evans LLP), her first foray into private practice. She says the transition was easy, and she is enjoying the new adventure. She prac- tices matrimonial law, emphasizing medi- ation. “Retirement is not on my horizon,” she adds. Her children and grandchildren are thriving. Saralee sees Alice Goodman often. The class also mourns the loss of Cather ine Nims Swett, who died in November. In other sad news, Felicia Axelrod’s husband, physician Robert Porges, passed away in November. He practiced at the NYU Langone Medical Center/Bellevue Hospital Center and had received numer- ous distinguished service awards. Mollie Klee Heron reminded me that at Reunion there was supposed to be an election for class president and class secre- tary. Obviously, we were having such a grand time it slipped our minds. So she is asking any classmates interested in volun- teering for either of these positions to contact her at
mkheron@aol.com. In October, Ben and I took a two-week Viking Longboat River Cruise from Buda -

pest, Hungary, through Croatia, Austria, and Germany. We continued on to Am - sterdam and passed through the Rhine- Main Canal (built by Charlemagne). We toured castles, cathedrals, and town squares, enjoying wonderful food, wine, and company. From Amsterdam we went to Brussels, Belgium, where my brother lives. Back home, we spent Christmas with our three children, their spouses, and six grandchildren (five boys ages 2–10), four dogs, and a cat! Our house was wall-to-wall Legos and trucks plus a Barbie Dreamhouse or two. SUSAN SAMBROOK BERRY 402 NH ROUTE 25A WENTWORTH, NH 03282-3119 603-764-9802

says her fellow North Dakotans are lucky to have Susan Dalrymple Wilson’s brother Jack as governor for another four years. After leaving public service in state gov- ernment, Dina joined her husband’s pri- vate investigative agency. “There is plenty of good material for a novel or two, just no time to write one,” she quips. Daugh - ter Marnie lives near Dina’s Bismarck home with 7-year-old twins and a 12- year-old. Daughter Amanda and husband David moved to a new frontier in Anchor - age, AK, with their daughter, 5, and son, 3. Dina has visited them three times and loves it, especially witnessing the Iditarod dog-sled race last February. She says, “If I do not make it to our 50th, it will likely be that Alaskan travel keeps me away.” Ginny Nyvall Durfee met Susan Wil -

son and Terry Patterson Robinson for lunch last spring at Judy Baldwin Mar - tin’s home in Stonington, CT. Susan and Terry drove up from New Haven, where their husbands, Steve and Burr, were cele- brating their 50th Yale reunion. Ginny says, “We had a marvelous time, but not enough to say all we had to say! Time flies, friends stay. Everyone looks well and is excited about our 50th reunion!” Ginny Payne Morse’s widower, Jack,
was married in September to Sonya Driscoll. Ginny Durfee says, “Sonya is wonderful, and ‘my Ginny’ would approve.” Ginny Morse died in 2008. Lucretia Robbins (aka Chrissie Fueller) continues to create and teach art. Her Art in the Garden program for girls will be in its 15th summer this year. She has taught
