Paige Cary Curtis, running her own advertising business, quips, “I am still working because I have decided advertis- ing is like the mafia—you just can’t get out. And I have wonderful clients who don’t want to let me retire.” Paige and Nancy Holt Wiggins got together in Montana in June. Joan Rosenstein had an exhibit of her photographs titled Natural Kaleidoscope Portfolio in the gallery at the Lewis Ginter Botanical Garden in Richmond, VA, this past spring.

loved the people and the food. This past winter, she did a lot of cross-country ski- ing in nearby woods and got into very good shape. More recently, she took a short trip to Normandy, France, with friends from Los Angeles, CA; she says, “It was cold and rainy but fun.” She’ll be spending retirement in Norway but visit- ing the States whenever the mood strikes her.

On the first of two trips to Italy last year, she toured summertime Sicily and Rome. Despite the crowds and heat, she had a great time with friends at concerts, art exhibitions, and trips to the seaside. She especially enjoyed having meals on her friend’s beautiful terrace, and made some nifty new friends from Australia. During a return trip that fall, she visited Hadri - an’s Villa at Tivoli, Spoleto, and an Italian ER for a foot infection. Her wallet was stolen, fortunately minus her passport. But Ju dith’s big news is that her book An Art Lover’s Guide to Florence has been published.


A loyal alumna, Linda Ellenbogen has attended many Skidmore events in Bos - ton. She thinks a sense of commonality with fellow alums increases as one gets older. Years ago, Carole Walter Maeder spotted her at the tennis club in Bonita Springs, FL, where they both have con- dos. There Linda met many alumni and has since enjoyed lots of social activities. She wintered in Florida for the first time in four years this past winter; her partner, Bill, was in a nursing home near Boston before passing away in early 2012. She says that Carole immediately reeled her back into the social scene, and she en - joyed dinners and theater with Carole
