For the Class Notes, I almost always hear from
E GPEWWQEXI JSV XLI ½VWX XMQI ¯ ERH MX GSRXMRYIW
After more than 38 years, I’ve been in touch with
Harry ’60 and
Carol Hanke Teich
! Carol and
Harry live in Hartwick, N.Y., and for the past few
years have been spending the winter months at a
house her family had in Scientists’ Cliffs, Md., not
far fromWashington, D.C.
In July,
Kay Robertson Tomasi
and Jim
joined their son and his family for a wedding in
Utah and then traveled to the Grand Tetons and
Yellowstone.Once home she helped with their an-
nual Al Fresco Dinner in Salem, N.Y. Local chefs
prepare the food while Kay and other volunteers
do the meal prep and serve 400 dinners. InAugust,
they were on Lake Chautauqua for another family
reunion.
During the summer,
Marion Bessey Hart
and Doug drove out to Long Island – she’d never
been before and wanted to see it. When in South-
ampton, she thought it would be fun to look up
Judy Johnson ’59, herADPi “mother,” but she didn’t
have any contact information. It turned out to
be quite a detective story! Marion went to the
Chamber of Commerce, the library, the bank and
an ice cream parlor and gathered bits and pieces
of information. Meanwhile, people were getting in
touch with Judy saying someone was looking for
her. They literally ran into each other and then
had a wonderful visit. A week or so later,
Claire
Schwennker Stilwell
spent a couple of days
with Marion at their lake home near Troy, N.Y.
Nancyann Orth
had insulation blown into the
walls of her 80-year-old house – she said it was
a surprise to discover she didn’t have any! Liv-
ing on Long Island, she had a horrendous cleanup
after Irene and no longer has dreams of living in
the 18th century–four days without power cured
her! She’s always wanted to see Dubrovnik and
as you read this she’ll be returning from a trip to
Croatia.
Natalie Beaumont
was in touch with
Julie Chevalier
, who’s living in Australia. Julie’s
collection of short stories,
Permission to Lie
, is
available in digital as well as print format from
bronwyn@shortaustralianstories.com.au. One re-
viewer commented, “A new voice in Australian

Julie also wrote, “My poetry collection,
Linen
Tough as History
, will be available late in 2011 or
early 2012 from Puncher &Wattman.One poem is
about being in bed in a freezing dorm, trying to get
rid of the memory of a ski accident…. The Memo-
ry Book gave me much to think about.Who knew
50 years ago that we would collectively receive so
much pleasure from travel and grandchildren!”
In September, John ’59 and
Pat Linderoth
Taylor
were in the Dolomites of Italy for two
and a half weeks of hiking. She said summer was
wonderful with lots of hiking in the Colorado
QSYRXEMRW XIEGLMRK [MPH¾S[IVW ERH TVITEVMRK
for their trip. One day she had lunch with Jean
Lawder Carver ’60 in Breckenridge. “John and I
so enjoyed our 50th Reunion,” she said.“Let’s plan
on the 55th!”
Sandy Towle
recounted another story that
should have been in the Memory Book: “After
Pete Deuel
and I were caught ‘attacking’ the
Kappa Lodge during a ‘spontaneous social event’ at
women’s residences,Dean Stout told me that I was
untrustworthy because I had close-set eyes. ‘Such
men have a lean and hungry look and are danger-
ous,’ she said, paraphrasing Shakespeare. She was
doing her best for the women of St. Lawrence and,

I asked Sandy about his sons. In November,
Ethan, in the Army Infantry, was scheduled to re-
turn from a tour in Jaghato,Afghanistan, an avowed
Taliban town. Wyeth, the Marine, is now a bat-
talion commander and will probably be going to
Afghanistan early next year. Last summer he re-
turned from a deployment to Bahrain, his fourth
visit to the Middle East. Adam, the younger twin,
is a successful sales manager for a large software
security company in San Diego.
Paul Taylor
and I spent all of August on an is-
land off the coast of southern Maine. We had a de-
lightful day with Christine Hopf-Lovette ’63, who
loves living in Wiscasset, and had lunch another
day in Bath with Bill and
Carole Sperzel Clark
,
who had been visiting their St. Lawrence daughter,
Beth Clark Record ’86, who lives near Lewiston.
Carole said that after Reunion and before start-
ing her drive back to New Mexico
Beth Anne
Freilich Gordon
spent a day with them and
then stopped to visit with Reggie ’59 and
Lucy
Prescott Bowden
. This coming winter, Carole
and Bill will return toTucson for four months.
Ken Shilkret
mentioned the weird weather

ing, a microburst…. He said, “I should have real-
ized that bad weather is the norm since I continu-
ally see the animals lining up two by two!” Ken had
a summer hiatus from most of his volunteer work,
which allowed him to concentrate on his house,
local traveling and, of course, golf.
Craig Ruhm
had such a good time at Reunion
that he returned to campus for Homecoming
Weekend and to see Joe-PeteWilson ’58 inducted
into the Athletic Hall of Fame. Craig’s youngest
