CLASS NOTES
1951 ANNE ELIZABETH (CANNON) NIXON After eagerly reading the alumni news for years, I decided it was time to get my own in. Don and I settled on the Long Beach peninsula in southwest Washington after RVing around the US for 10 years. But we hadn’t explored overseas, so with packs strapped to our backs, we explored Europe three times. This past summer we moved to Petaluma, California, when I couldn’t continue caring for Don, who now has Alzheimer’s disease. He’s in a memory care facility, and because I had polio at 20 years old and have post-polio syndrome, I’m in an assisted care home nearby. I spend each morning with him and will until he no longer recognizes me. My son, DAVE JOCHUM, was in the first class to transfer from St. Helen’s Hall’s lower school to OES for his sixth grade, about 1964. It began with only a couple of buildings, of course. Between me, my son, and two cousins, we’ve been “Hall people” for many years.
1964 SUSAN RAMSEY We’ve completed our move to the Portland area! We left children and grandchildren in Los Angeles but have more in Salem. And I still haven’t contacted any classmates, but I am Facebook friends with a couple of women from the Class of ’63. We have a very large yard, by our old LA standards, so we’re learning about mowing grass and trimming away from the house. We’ve gone to services at Trinity, and take all visitors to the Rose Garden. So, we’re settling in and very happy to be home again.
1967 TIM WALLACE Tim worked in a local steel mill for 30 years. While still working as a journeyman millwright, Tim and his wife Debby started a wood restoration business where they specialized in removing lead paint as an avocation. Since retiring from the mill in 2003, the avocation has developed into a full-time job. Recently they moved out of Portland and are now residing 7 miles east of Sandy, Oregon on 5.5 acres.
KANNES NOACK Kannes continues his mountaineering passion, having just returned from the volcanoes of Ecuador (and the rainforest) bringing his count to 38 major peaks of the world (in 2016) and a rare excursion to the Tibetan side Everest Base Camp (in 2015) while enjoying his 40th year in commercial real estate as a land, leasing, and investment broker in Sacramento, California.
1982 CAROLEE LARSEN AND KEVIN CAVANAUGH, members of the Class of ’82, returned to campus in November for a tour and lunch with Alumni and Donor Relations Manager Sara Berglund.

1973 JANET BUCK
I was overjoyed to be well enough to attend our 40th reunion in 2013, despite a long series of risky surgeries. On December 3, 2016, I had a book launch scheduled at Southern Oregon’s Barnes & Noble to celebrate the release of my fourth print collection of poetry, Dirty Laundry: A Memoir in Verse, as well as my debut novel, Samantha Stone: A Novel of Mystery, Memoir & Romance, recently released by Vine Leaves Press. Anyone interested in more information can go to Amazon, Barnes & Noble, or check out my new website:

1988 AYDEN ADLER I’m thrilled to report that on July 1, 2016 I began my tenure as Dean of the School of Music and Professor of Music at DePauw University in Greencastle, Indiana. My appointment coincides with the promotion of my predecessor to President of the University, to
Cotopaxi volcano, Ecuador. Unfortunately unclimbable as it was erupting while we were there.
whom I report as a member of the President’s Cabinet. I love the mix of working with the faculty, staff, and students in the School of Music, serving on university-wide faculty committees for curriculum and tenure/review, and supporting the President with development, board of trustee relationships, and broad university issues such as diversity and inclusion.
