ot long after Joan Sobo Kadin ’65 and hus- band Tom permanently moved into what had
been their weekend home in New York’s Hudson Valley, she attended the first-ever Taste of Colum - bia County Bounty event in 2008. The evening was filled with delicious food served by local restaurants and featured local farmers and food producers as well. Kadin, a business development and licensing
consultant who works with home decor designers such as Lynn Chase Designs and the Zrike Com - pany, soon began volunteering with the group that held Taste of Columbia County Bounty, offering her
field, MA, and loves ushering at the Cal - vin Theater in Northampton, MA. She sees Kathie Aberman, who has fun teaching high school English in NYC but was miss- ing the weather she enjoyed on a recent Caribbean cruise. Pat O’Koon Ernenwein is also a social worker, at Vassar Hospital in Poughkeep - sie, NY. She has two children and four grandchildren.
Susie Hess Hazelton reports that daugh- ter Happy is now at Bank of America’s Debt Capital Group and son Chad is at Royal Bank of Canada. Susie and Russ have two granddaughters and still play expert golf and ski. At 75, Russ was recerti- fied as a pilot by the FAA. They took their first cruise to the Caribbean last year. Sandra Koch Prior is looking forward to Reunion.
expertise in branding and marketing. Last year, the festival—which Kadin says has become “the culi- nary event of Columbia County”—included 42 farms and 30 chefs and fed more than 450 people. Now she serves on the organization’s board of
directors. Kadin,who loves to cook and tends a veg - etable garden of her own, says “local farms are im - portant.” Promoting local food means better quali- ty and taste, as well as supporting local business and preserving farmland. In addition to its tasting events, Columbia County Bounty hosts networking sessions between farmers and chefs and fosters agritourism through farm and restaurant tours. Kadin says the organization has been so suc-
cessful that “we’ve become the model for all other ‘county bounties’ in the Hudson Valley.” Eventually, she and her colleagues envision a broader group— a “Hudson Valley Bounty”—with each county hav- ing its own chapter. Dutchess County is already on board. After all, she says, “It’s very much part of a national ‘locavore’ movement.” The work also has helped Kadin feel more root-
ed in her new upstate life. “We have ties here,” she says. “And I have my original ties to Skid more. I never thought I’d be back in this area, but here
we are.” —Jill U. Adams
Eva Meinberg Aviad’s daughter and her fiancé chose June 4 as their wedding date, so Eva will be unable to attend Reunion— as the saying goes, she can’t dance at two weddings at the same time! She is still working in her real estate business. After living in Illinois for 10 years, Chris - tine Avondoglio Denham has returned to Exeter, NH. She is in contact with Pam Page Traver, who lives in Atkinson, and hopes to attend Reunion. Beth Ellis Poulo welcomed her first grandchild, Ruby, last April. Beth is a real estate agent with Prudential in Andover, MA.
I am very excited about Reunion and would love to see a great many of you there, even if you’ve never been to one before. I continue in my consulting prac- tice with subcontractors in four states and claims from all four corners of the country and some territories. We enjoyed New Year’s Eve with my six grandchildren and their parents in Indian Wells, CA, after a few days visiting the Anaheim area, in - cluding Disneyland and Joshua Tree Na - tional Park.

Carol Ciccone Gardner is director
of orientation and special events for NYU Abu Dhabi, engaged in the “amazing and challenging” work of estab- lishing the first comprehensive liberal arts university in the Middle East. The pro- gram has been recruiting faculty and its first class of students, and “it couldn’t be more exciting,” Carol says. Her second grandson, Patrick, was born to daughter Laura in Winchester, MA, in October; he joins brother Peter, 3. Carol savors every minute with them. She and Chris Wilsey
Goodwin, Mimi Barker, Liz Bernstein Fishman, Susan Gottlieb Beckerman,
and Fran Novack meet regularly for din- ners at which they “relive Skidmore days and enjoy wide-ranging conversations about women, politics, and family.” I went to a Skidmore “town hall” meet- ing in San Francisco, where President Phil Glotzbach reported on exciting develop- ments on campus. I hope many of you had the opportunity to attend one of the eight meetings across the country. Marsha Sussman Connell and I met beforehand to catch up. She is a painter in Sonoma County and teaches art at Santa Rosa Junior College. I have attended some of Marsha’s collage workshops in her home studio and am discovering a new means of expression. In October I visited daughter Linden in Big Sky, MT, and we hiked in some beautiful areas.
