Sharon FitzGerald Carey was head of the theater department at Miss Porter’s School in Connecticut for 21 years, during which she both taught and directed. In 1993 she moved to Boston and signed on as director of adult education at Project Place, a homeless resource center. A num- ber of her homeless students started a lit- tle theater troupe and toured local libraries and union halls. Sharon is currently teach- ing dramatic literature at the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute at UMass Boston. She is married to “the same sweet Ted” she wed after junior year at Skidmore. They have two amazing daugh- ters and four grandchildren. Niece Leigh FitzGerald ’17 is a Skidmore freshman. Rita Camera Johnson’s first grandchild, a girl named Neve, was born in October. Rita and husband Edwin are “over the moon about her.” The couple is making lots of trips to New Jersey to spend time with their daughter and her new addition to the fami- ly. Rita sees Earline Furber Rubel every spring on Sanibel Island, Fla., where they both have timeshares. They enjoy shelling on the beautiful beaches and playing golf among the roaming alligators. My daughter, Linden, married Bryan Rees this past November. I am very happy they are living here in San Francisco. Linden works for Airbnb. My son, Tony, is a design assistant to a menswear designer in NYC. I continue to substitute teach and I enjoy the kids and my colleagues.

Belmont, Calif., resident Barbie Herbert von der Groeben keeps in close touch with many classmates. In November, she spent four days with Karleen Erhardt in Port Jefferson, N.Y., and they attended Skidmore’s Friends of the Presidents event in NYC. On the West Coast, Barbie and Carol Bogardus went to several Stanford football games and meet up for theater performances. Barbie also spent time with Stephanie Brewster Wagoner in December. She enjoyed a dinner with Anna Ershler Richert; they attended the Smuin Ballet Christmas performance, a Bay Area tradition that featured Skidmore’s own Shannon Hurlburt ’97 as a soloist. Class historian Sandy Smith Dovberg has been busy pulling together our stories. She wonders if the rebelliousness that marked our era led many of us to take unique and interesting paths in life and whether we will continue to do so in ways very different from our parents’ generation. I would like to extend condolences to former class president Liz McKinley Loomis, who lost her husband of 40 years, Richard, to cancer in October. Rich, who often attended our reunions, will be greatly missed by classmates. I also send our sympathy to the family
of Barbara Anne Holsberg, who passed away in September. We recall her as a devoted educator. She too will be sorely missed at Reunion. I was in Saratoga with my two daughters
this past November and was truly amazed at how the city has been transformed since our era. I quickly made my hotel reservation for Reunion before I left town. I have stayed in touch with Marcia Jensen Watson and Leslie Gardner McGovern. My own plans have included a May hiking trip along the Camino de Santiago in Spain with several friends. I’ve been training 10 to 12 miles a day since January. I encourage you to plan to attend our 45th. There will be many stories to share and friendships to renew.
