I apologize for the absence of notes recently. I
have been pretty busy with our toddling daugh-
ter, Charlotte. Am I the only person in our class
with a toddler?? I know
Libby Bancroft
has a
3-year-old, Finn. Anyone else’s children applying to
pre-school instead of colleges? I think it’s almost
as stressful as applying for colleges in our neck of
the woods.

is enjoying life inWyoming with

a trip to Costa Rica last spring.They do much hik-
ing in the mountains and “life is good!”
We had a great visit with
Bill Fleckner
and his
family at our summer place in Maine. Bill has three
children: daughter Celia, 14, and sons Jack, 13, and
Henry, 11.They live in the Boston area and came
to visit us in Scarborough. We had a great time
on the beach and, of course, the lobsters and lob-
ster rolls were in abundance. Bill’s children are all
amazing skiers. Celia and Bill spent a good part of
their summer vacation in Europe with a group of
skiers from Holderness. Celia told me that
Mike
Cashel
’s son was also a part of that trip and they
had a great time there.

Jennie Miller
and I had
a wonderful dinner together inWhite Plains, N.Y.,
Jen’s home town.We had a wonderful time catch-
ing up. Jennie is very busy with her job and two
teen-aged girls. They live outside of Providence,
R.I. Lyndsey lives in Chevy Chase, Md., where she
is a busy single mom to three teenagers. Eldest
Amanda goes to the University of Michigan where
she is a sophomore; Brad is looking at colleges
now for next September and son Clayton is in
high school. Lyndsey is a contractor in the D.C.
area, specializing in home renovation.We had so
much fun, especially a lot of good-hearted ribbing
after I accidentally locked my daughter (then a
year old) in the car after I had just preached to
them that I am no longer a space cadet...really.

I loved hearing from
Tracey Willis Gates
:
“It was a real walk down memory lane when our
son, Ren, graduated from St. Lawrence in May. He
is taking the next year to be a snowboard instruc-
tor at Squaw Valley in Lake Tahoe.
Sue Certain
Winter
and husband Dean have a home in Lake
Tahoe, so we are looking forward to visiting with
them over Christmas when we go out to see Ren.
Our daughter, Sheridan, is a sophomore at Buck-

“Tom and I are enjoying the empty nest,” Tracey
continued. We still live in Pennington, N.J., just
outside of Princeton. I am the director of alumni
relations at Princeton Day School. I speak to
Amy Strasenburgh Ware
regularly. She and
her husband, Alex, live in Edina, Minn., and have
three daughters.Their oldest, Hailey, is a freshman
at DePauw University, Liza is 16 and Katie is 13. I
hope that there will be lots of SLU gatherings this
year to celebrate the crazy milestone we are fac-
ing — happy 50th birthday, everyone!”
