Society celebrated its acquisition of Handprints’ remaining silk screens and document archive with a garden party for the company’s former staff and cus- tomers. Now Molly and husband Ed Freitag are the driving force behind Skidmore’s Entrepreneurial Artist program of coursework, internships, workshops, and networking opportunities to help aspiring artists navigate the business side of creativity.
Nancy Selib Brown loved attending our 50th. She is semi-retired from qualitative research consulting and does extensive volunteer work at her synagogue. Nancy also volunteers at her grandchildren’s school and advocates for people facing property foreclosure. Her big adventure last year was a safari to Tanzania, where she enjoyed seeing animals in the wild and spending time in tribal villages. Our Christmas holiday was spent with our three children at our home in Connecticut as well as in Boston and Lenox, Mass. Every month Bob travels to Bangor, Maine, to do pediatric surgery at Eastern Maine Medical Center for about 10 days. We enjoy stopping in Portland to see Jane Boyle Gerrish. I’m enjoying retirement, although I continue to do some preaching in our Woodbridge church and in my former church in Newtown. I find myself traveling to NYC often to visit close friends who have relo- cated to Manhattan.
Our 50th reunion was truly memorable.
Let’s keep that ’64 class spirit going by staying in touch with one another. Some of you would like to get together for class mini-reunions; let me know if you are interested in hosting one in your area. And don’t forget that Skidmore hosts many regional events: see

Kathie Aberman visited Spain for a sec- ond time last fall and has fallen in love with the country. During both trips, she spent a week as a volunteer instructor in an English-language immersion program for Spaniards. She also walked on the Camino de Santiago and explored Galicia, Barcelona, Granada, Ibiza, and Madrid. Kathie is learning Spanish, has made many friends in Spain, and finds it always difficult to leave. Susan Gibbs is coming to Reunion “with bells on.” Last winter Gibbsie went sledding on the day after her 70th birth- day. In May she took a weeklong trip on the Norwegian steamer Hurtigruten up the coast from Bergen to Kirkenes with friends. In New Hampshire in August, she had a hectic time trying to fit in everyone she wanted to see! In September she visit- ed friends in southern Sweden for five days and saw the musical version of Dr. Zhivago. Then she was in Mallorca for a week with five family members. A couple of days later, Gibbsie was back in New Hampshire getting her fill of the fall foliage. She finished up 2014 with a November trip to Denmark. Pamela Ghents Ness retired last year. She now has time to visit family all over the US. Pam looks forward catching up with everyone at our 50th. She enjoyed working on our class history book with me and Sarah Smith Munley. The class will be saddened to hear of the death of Nancy Lindberg Brinkerhoff last March. We send our deepest condo- lences to her family.

Roselle Kline Chartock’s Windsor Mountain School, A Beloved Berkshire Institution chronicles the story of a family who founded a school in Germany but were forced out by the Nazis in 1936 and reestablished their innovative, progressive boarding school in New England. Alumni include the children of actors Harry Belafonte and Sydney Poitier. In April 2014, Roselle and husband Alan wel- comed their first grandchild, Noah, who lives in Brooklyn with parents Sarah and Dan. And Roselle is happy to report that the Berkshire Ramblers, a folk group that Alan leads and in which she sings, did a benefit concert at Saratoga’s Caffe Lena to a packed house. Beforehand, the couple enjoyed delicious fried chicken at Hattie’s Chicken Shack. Sherry Brush Geddes enjoyed her career
in high tech in Silicon Valley. She traveled to more than 60 countries and was a major player in taking one company public. Retired for many years, she has spent most of them traveling, primarily in her RV. Along the way she met husband Ted, with whom she built a dream retirement home on a river in Belize, where they spend about half the year. Sherry encourages Skidmore friends who would like visit to contact her. The couple also rents homes in California and Washington State, living in the RV the rest of the year. Sherry got together with Bobbie Rubin Bowden, who recently moved back to the San Francisco area. She also sees Marge Blackwell White Sharp ’67 regularly in California. Sherry will attend our 50th reunion. We send our deepest condolences to the family of Ellen Smythe Brakeley, who died on November 14.
