a theater director, playwright, actor, and consultant, working on and off Broadway and regionally. She says her thinking about drama and theater has deepened considerably and she looks forward to bringing insights from the profession into the academy—so far, her interactions with students at the University of California have been extraordinary. Debbie Brighton is director of commu- nications at San Diego State University’s Research Foundation. Husband David Mannis publishes several local commun - ity newspapers. Stepson Aaron spent a semester in Germany; his brother Zach is a senior at La Jolla High School. Debbie looks forward to Reunion. Greg Hess lives near Philadelphia, PA,
with his wife, Brenda, and two daughters from China. He’s now an expert dump - ling maker and has been mastering the language too—he can count to 10 and knows all of his colors! On the less impor- tant side, he continues to practice medi- cine, teaches at Wharton and Drexel, vol- unteers. For his day job, he’s chief med- ical officer and global head of health eco- nomics and outcomes research at IMS Health. He had a great time at Skidmore in January for the Junior Admissions Workshop, and last year he was on cam- pus for the reunion of Skidmore’s “early men” from the 1970s. For the last three years David Moran
has worked for Schlumberger Technolo - gies, a global oil and gas drilling-field company in Texas. His former company, Smith International, where he spent 20 years, was bought out in 2010. David is an advisor for real-time drilling optimiza- tion, working with software, construction engineering, and information systems. David’s second daughter, Elizabeth, was engaged over Christmas, and in prepara- tion for a 2014 wedding he is “getting started on a house for them near the fam- ily ‘hacienda.’” David is also “making some pretty good pots these days”—see them at
hopewellpottery.com. Last year Lisa Adele Miller entered the not-for-profit world as executive director of the professional Glens Falls Symphony, which hosted renowned violinist Sarah Chang and former US Poet Laureate Ro - bert Pinsky in the Ladd Concert Hall of Skidmore’s Zankel Music Center in No - vem ber. Lisa says, “It was a real treat for me to work with Skidmore students and staff to pull off a great performance at my alma mater.” She is also a freelance writer, mostly in business and finance. Kathleen Herlihy-Paoli recently exhib- ited seven oil paintings in a group show
with six other artists in Bozeman, MT. She also submitted works to the alumni art exhibition at Reunion. She hopes to see many of us in Saratoga, because “Reunion will be more fun if you’re all there!” Like most of us, Janice Cipos-Pangrazzi
has trouble believing we graduated so many years ago. She teaches French, pri- marily to adults, for professional develop- ment and personal enrichment. She also offers cultural and language training to corporate and international clients. Her lifelong passion for all things French motivates her to travel to France often. Janice’s other passion is teaching and practicing classical ballet and other forms of movement, for both artistic expression and therapy. Creative writing in English and French is another pursuit. She and husband Richard travel together as much as possible, mostly in Europe and the US. They were planning to celebrate their anniversary on the island of Mustique in April. They live in Midlothian, VA, and would love to connect with anyone near- by (

UK since 1998. After graduation she moved to Georgetown with Lynn Visger and Geoff Hassan, then toured the US as regional marketing director for Ringling Bros. She settled in Los Angeles, CA, where she spent 15 years in entertain- ment marketing, sales, and exhibition for films ranging from Return of the Jedi to Schindler’s List and launching stage musicals such as Ragtime in LA and Hal Prince’s Showboat in London’s West End. She is divorced, raising a 10-year-old son, and working in events management, with recent projects including January’s Demo - crats Abroad inaugural ball in London, the largest outside Washington, DC. She welcomes hearing from classmates at
kgmac36@gmail.com. Let’s plan a great turnout at Reunion! There will be great conversations and lots of fun; 35 years brings lots to share. I look forward to seeing everyone May 30–June 2! EMILY WALKER BRACCHITTA 36 FLAT ROCK ROAD, APT. 5 FITCHBURG, MA 01420-2282

She observes, “After spending almost 200 days on the road, there really is no place like home.” Maura Connelly has started a new career and position with South Carolina Hospice. I see from Facebook that Lisa Ochs
Arnold dedicated a lot of her time to helping many on Long Island who suf- fered from Superstorm Sandy. I recently was in Arizona for business
and spent the weekend with Martha VanGelder, who lives in Tucson with hus- band John Gypton and dog Finn. I par - tici pated once again as an executive pan- elist for the MB107 course, and once again I walked away proud to be an alum- na. The students were poised, smart, and wonderful to watch. I know I could not have done a presentation as eloquently when I was a freshman! DEBBIE MONOSSON 16 PERRY STREET CAMBRIDGE, MA 02139-3912

the Democratic National Convention was held in Charlotte, NC. She volunteered for eight months with the Obama cam- paign. After 32 years in the textile busi- ness, she made the transition to develop- ment at Planned Parenthood. She is very happy to start a new career at age 55 and would love to hear from other classmates about what they are doing. A prior issue of Scope incorrectly report-
ed that Linda Perani Waterbury’s daugh- ter Emily is attending Penn State. In fact, Emily is a very proud student of the Uni - versity of Alabama! While visiting Emily for parents’ weekend in September, the Waterburys attended a football game with 105,000 other fans. Like all of ’bama’s home games, it was a huge event with tailgating on the quad and a parade of the university marching band (with more than 400 members) to the stadium.
