and husband Zack and Penny Thompson Jones and husband Keel. Linda and Car - ole also see Eileen Kirwin Cameron and Joan Berejik for lunches, at Skidmore gatherings in Naples, and at other events. She appreciates these Skidmore connec- tions more than ever. Back in Boston, she serves on her condominium board and is active in community affairs. She plans on attending our 50th. In 2009 Ellen Shack Taylor stepped down as mayor of the city council in Claremont, CA, but she continues to vol- unteer for the city. She is also active on the board of the League of Women Voters and other local and state groups. She re - tired as a law office manager in 2012. She loves retirement, filling it with volunteer- ing, friends, reading, trips, gardening, and “whatever suits my fancy,” she says. She and her husband have four grandsons under the age of 4. The couple recently returned from a trip to Alabama and Missi ssippi, the last two of the 50 states they had not yet visited. She notes, “We ate lots of BBQ and saw lots of southern culture.” In response to my request to buy a class
ring from anyone no longer interested in wearing hers, six people replied with some very generous offers—don’t be sur- prised if I call one of you back, because I am still ringless. Although still working, I have been immobilized following a bi - malleolar ankle fracture and nonhealing wounds. I am now tethered to a vacuum machine to help the healing process.

We remember her as a talented English major who went on to earn a master’s in English and comparative liter- ature from Hunter College, and a PhD in English from SUNY-Albany. She returned to Skidmore to teach and later joined the faculty at Orange County Community College. My husband and I just moved to a beau-
tiful condominium in South Boston, leav- ing our home of 25 years in Sharon, MA. Our two sons live on Beacon Hill, on dif- ferent floors of the same apartment build- ing, a few MBTA stops away. I am excited to explore Boston. ANN C. LODOLCE LODOLCE & ASSOCIATES 1350 BELMONT STREET, SUITE 104 BROCKTON, MA 02301-4430 508-583-2424

fateful September of disappearing bottom lines. It was certainly a stressful time to retire,” she says. She and her husband now divide their time between Nova Scotia and Florida. Wendy describes her- self as “a fairly contented snowbird,” spending lots of time on the golf course during the winter. Pam Scharmann Stewart and Douglas enjoyed a Baltic cruise with their neigh- bors, and especially liked a two-day tour of St. Petersburg that took them from the Hermitage to a local grocery and meat market. Pam directs and sings with the Pollyfonix a cappella singers, teaches a few students in her vocal studio, and plays banjo in a group called the Slippery Pickers. She also enjoys gardening and says, “I can’t wait to try out my new elec- tric pole saw!” They visit their son and his family in Maine and get out to San Fran - cisco, CA, where their two daughters and their families live. She says, “It’s tough to have them on opposite coasts.” Sally Huling Hilderbrand’s daughter

Since retiring, Jean Ingersoll Smith and husband Steve split their time between Lakeside, MI, and Tubac, AZ. In 2000 they helped found a local land trust, as their area on Lake Michigan is in high demand for development and home construction. Jean says the best part of her 60s has been hiking around the world with seven other women. The group’s first trek in 2007 was climbing Mt. Kilimanjaro; they did the Dolomites in Italy in 2009, the Annapur - na Sanctuary in the Himalayas in 2011, and recently the remote Choquequirao Trail ending at Macchu Pichu in Peru. Jean says the “Kili Sisters” have formed wonderful bonds, adding, “Our husbands are all very supportive but sometimes question why we do this. We respond, ‘Because we still can!’” Last spring I came out of my short-lived retirement to fill in for a teacher on ma - ter nity leave at my school. Since then I have covered two more maternity leaves at the Chinese-American International School. I am also an active
