She’s happy to continue to use her Skid - more nursing education as a member of her community’s emergency-response team and volunteer for her health depart- ment’s H1N1 flu vaccination clinic. Sue, who lost quite a few dear friends this past year, celebrated her 16th year as a breast- cancer survivor and reminds us all to take each day as a gift. Suzan Frank Rose and husband Marty have returned from a trip to Taipei, Hong Kong, and Bangkok. It reminded them of the years they spent in Tokyo and Hong Kong. Suzan continues to sell real estate in Greenwich, CT, and Marty is the sole dis- tributor for a fashion-forward, trendy brand of women’s shoes manufactured under the All Black label. Their son Carter Rose ’97 and his wife live close by, and the Roses see their grandsons often. Nancy Baroff Dinar and husband Rich - ard became grandparents for the third time with the birth of Levi in Boulder, CO. Levi is the second son of the Dinars’ son Josh. Nancy and Richard’s daughter and her husband will be joining the Peace Corps this year but didn’t know yet where they will be posted. Ellen Shaul Bell is now an admissions and marketing consultant, having spent the past 15 years as enrollment director of the Haverford School and then the Ethical Culture Siltstone School. She and her hus- band spend time perfecting their golf games in Florida and visiting grandchil- dren in Campbell, CA. After several years as a widow, Patricia Molloy thinks she has gotten used to fly- ing solo. She and her two dogs live in a small town on the eastern shore of Mary - land, where she has many friends and teaches a classic-film course to adults at Washington College. Eliza Cocroft Bailey and Sid Quarrier were married in Maine on the summer sol- stice last year, surrounded by family and friends.
Louise Diracles will soon retire from a 30-year teaching career. Daughter Kather - ine is pursuing an MBA from the Univer - sity of Michigan. Son John is working in construction in the Los Angeles area. I have been volunteer-teaching fifth grade in a NYC public school for several years. In January I was speaking with our student teacher, who was completing her master’s at Bank Street (where I went), and I learned that I have more than Bank Street in common with her: she’s Emily
Rivlin-Nadler ’07!
The class extends condolences to the
fam ily of Margo Marschner Tuxen, who died in September.

attend a mystery writers’ conference in St. Petersburg, FL. Middle daughter Bridget landed a very good job in San Francisco, CA, and stayed with Amy Shearer, daugh-
ter of Lori Rusling Shearer ’70, while
looking for an apartment. Maureen is tak- ing a course, “The Literature and Spiritual - ity of Flannery O’Connor,” given by the Lay Institute at the College of St. Rose. Paula Tripp Lusardi, husband Bob, and daughters Sarah and Anna were in the San Francisco Bay area in December. I met up with them and went to the King Tut ex - hibit in Golden Gate Park. If it comes to your town, it’s worth seeing. Carol Bogardus and husband Mike Lichty moved back to Palo Alto, CA, after living in Simi Valley for a few years. In December I ran into Nancy Marx Ellsworth at the Palo Alto farmers’ mar- ket. Both she and Carol Bogardus and their spouses attended our 40th reunion. In January I attended a Skidmore “town hall” meeting in San Francisco, where I met up with Annie Ershler Rich ert and her sister Susan Ershler ’63. It was great to see Annie, and we hope to get Skid - more’s Bay Area contingent together for coffee some time soon. Also in January I visited with Mary Hardman LaPorte and husband Bob. They were visiting San Fran cisco, where their daughter Johanna moved last year.

Leslie Gardner McGovern has officially
retired. Her new career goal is to become a “low-maintenance house guest.” Joan Bardagjy Dargery and her hus- band spend winters in Costa Rica, where they bought a house three years ago. They love the country and its people and enjoy the challenges of living in a foreign place. Jane Charlotte Nordli was sorry to miss Reunion last year. She gets together with
Michelle Cherney Gillett and Barbara
Smith Powell to compare notes on grand- children, health, gardens, and the state of the world. “Being roommates so long ago sometimes seems like a dream,” she notes.
Bonnie Hamilton Mcllhenny’s hus-
band, Colin, retired from his busy ortho- pedic surgery practice, and although Bon - nie is still part-time clinical social worker, she is delighted to have Colin home. They bought their dream home on the water and have lots of fun fishing and boating. Bonnie’s home in Virginia Beach was one
Maureen Kelly Cooley’s oldest
daughter, Martha, was selected to

that helps progressive organizations in campaigns. He received his BA from Trinity College and has worked on Capitol Hill for Sen. John Kerry and Rep. Gary Ackerman. Margo is chair of the painting, drawing, and sculpture department at Temple University’s Tyler School of Art. She still lives in Soho, where her studio is based.
Lelde Skipsna Muehlenbachs and I met for a wonderful afternoon of reminiscing in October, while visiting the exhibits at the Munson-Williams-Procter Museum in Utica, NY. We plan to meet again the next time she visits her father Alvin Skipsna (former head librarian at Skidmore) in Saratoga. Lelde went on to Washington, DC, where her daughter Lucija was suc- cessfully defending her PhD dissertation. I had a stent installed in a heart artery in November, and was doing cardiac rehab three times a week for a few months. This, of course, is just my way of getting ready for Reunion 2010—our 40th! You can still make plans to attend: for information, go to
skidmore.edu and click “alumni.”
