1950s


June Dunbar Phillips ’51 A note to my fellow 1951 classmates


from SHH. My new address is P.O. Box 379, Tahoe Vista, CA 96148. We decided to move to our smaller vacation home at Tahoe from our home of 48 years in Salinas, California. Less work, more play. There comes a time when play is more important! Greetings to all, and come visit!


Bonnie Dunbar Hahn ’53 I love to get the OES Magazine. I


always look to see the memorials and how my classmates are doing and am sad to see many in my class are not here anymore. We sure had a good time at SHH, and the lessons, instruction, plays, musicals, and wonderful teachers are memories that will stay with us always. I’m keeping busy as manager of the Nome Emergency Shelter Team (NEST) homeless shelter here in Nome, Alaska. Before we opened five years ago, several locals died of hypothermia or freezing each year due to having no place to get out of the cold. Since we opened, we have had zero fatalities. I enjoy my job and, to say the least, it is very challenging. That’s it from the Far North.


Pat Kruse Roselund ’55 My husband, Gordon,


our two American Eskimo “Eskies” dogs, and I took a 10-week road trip up through Canada and Alaska last summer. This was our fourth trip up the ALCAN, and each trip up seems like the first time. It is interesting to see how it all has changed over the last 50 years. We are living large here in Arizona. All this sun truly brightens up the day! We have become a Mecca for friends and family in the Northwest to escape weather and mold. I send

Karen Kerr Stephenson ’55


I finally retired at age 73! It really does not seem like it has been 57-plus years since graduation. We all (18 girls) had to be so prim and proper with those white caps and gowns, hosiery, and white shoes. In those days you could not even think about blue jeans! That is what I appreciate the most about those years, uniforms and all! We have a large blended family—16 grandchildren and now three great-grandchildren. We’re very busy with volunteering at our local parish —I converted to the Catholic faith in 1994. I love living on the edge of the continental USA and seeing the Olympics in one direction and Vancouver Island and the Strait of Juan de Fuca in the other direction. Not the quiet life for everyone—great for appreciating calm and peace.


Karen Barner Anderson ’56 Our daughter Heather Blitz was the


alternate member of the U.S. Dressage Team in the 2012 Olympic competition in London. She continues to be actively involved in dressage training and instructing all over the United States. As I watch her ride, I smile, remembering magical days at SHH when Fridays after school meant a bus trip to the Portland Riding Academy for my weekly lesson


with our instructor, Bill, on a special horse named Wildfire. Husband Dave is retired from his


orthopedic surgery practice, and we continue to enjoy life on the Lone Eagle Ranch in the middle of Kansas. Two other daughters reside in Houston and Chicago. I’m still involved in my flying career, teaching, testing, and delivering aircraft after maintenance all over the country.


1960s


Bobbi Torango Sullivan ’62 Everything is about the same, although


I earned world class customer service rep for the sixth year in a row. My husband, Ken, and I still see a lot of live theater. This weekend we’re seeing three shows. My horse, Tapdog, is now a lesson horse at my stable, and the students love him. The Corgis are fine too.

Patricia Mills Woodbury ’62, right, with daughters Lisa Ann and Marjorie Ruth.


Mike and I were married in 1964 in Bethesda, Maryland. Our first daughter, Lisa Ann, was born in 1965. She graduated and is a college instructor in Alabama with her husband, Mike. They have two daughters. Our second child, Michael Jr., was born in 1967. He lives in New Orleans working for an environmental company and has one daughter. The third bambino, Brian Scott, was born in 1971. He works as a lawyer in DC. With some surprise, we welcomed a daughter, Marjorie Ruth, in 1987. She graduated from Principia in 2009 with a degree in landscape architecture. Michael retired in 2001 and we moved to Hartfield, Virginia. I enjoy volunteering at the local museum but commit to few activities, preferring some local and distant travel. I have taken great pleasure in seeing Janice Parker over the years. Because I live on the East Coast, I have never made a reunion but love seeing pictures and hearing stories.
