Class Agent: Elizabeth "Wendy” Woodhull Bersing 2wendon4us@gmail.com Daphne Preece Hellmuth - Jim died in January 2020. It was a true sad blessing as he was not able to get around by himself and was very frustrated. He lived a long productive 96 1/2 years of life. I try to spend summers on Long Island and for seven months live in a retirement community in Fort Myers, Florida. Betsy Cumming Dartt - Betsy's daughter, Amy Dartt Ashton '88, reached out to let us know of Betsy's passing on February 13, 2021, in Sarasota, Florida. Amy shared that Betsy loved Oldfields, remaining close friends with several of her classmates until her death. As a student, Betsy was a proud member of the White Team, an enthusiastic athlete, and a member of student government. Betsy is remembered for her incredible love of family and friends, her honesty and kindness, her integrity and intelligence. While she worked as a successful real estate agent for over two decades on Long Island, it was her love of dogs that brought her much joy. She also enjoyed gardening and was an avid tennis player. She will be missed by her classmates and all who knew her.

1963

Blair Bartol MacInnes - We are all well and incredibly lucky through this terrible pandemic year. I do feel I have been living in a bubble compared to the pain and suffering of so many. I joke that I am running, reading, cooking, writing, and doing needlework, which is what I did BEFORE the pandemic. See some great Oldfields friends by Zoom every so often and always tell each other that we look just the same, which says more about Zoom than us. Hope all are faring well.

Class Agent: Jacqueline "Jackie” Thomas Carey jackiecarey47.jc@gmail.com Class Agent: Lucinda "Cinda” Train Longstreth 202-328-3965

Eleanor "Dee” Allen - Lost one of my brothers, Arthur, last August (2020) which broke my heart. Sadly, aging brings more and more of this painful reality. Now in his absence, all I can do is carry him in my heart and try to emulate some of his good traits: generosity, decency, and respect for others. I am buying a new condo in Concord, Massachusetts, after renting in the same complex for five years awaiting the right place to pop up, which finally happened. In itself, my building is quiet, yet just around the corner from the animation of the center of town. One can see visitors here from all over the world who've come to see where it all began. The old trees, the trails, the wildlife, and historic sites give one the feeling of living in a postcard. So I am, as my mother would say, "a lucky girl." Susan West Ross - My mother always said "Getting old ain't for sissies," and now I know how right she was! Do any of you feel that way? We moved out of our house of 35 years into a temporary spot. I had four stupid surgeries since September 2020, broke my wrist, and had a minor stroke as well as moving out of our house. To hell with 2021.

Class Agent: Carolyn Gibbons Abernethy cgabernethy710@optonline.net Class Agent: Antoinette "Toni” Carter Vreeland Toni.Vreeland@gmail.com Carolyn Gibbons Abernethy - The Class of '66 had a few Zoom calls this spring, and we promised to do a few more because we missed a few classmates. Stories told, and teachers, classes, and dorm rooms remembered, and then we got onto grandchildren. Spring got busy what with boats and gardens and a wedding of our youngest son in July, but I promise to organize another Zoom. Stay tuned, all. Toni Carter Vreeland - All the Vreelands are healthy and fine! Walker and his partner, Evan, moved from NYC to Philadelphia in December and are loving it there. Walker is busy doing many different things like editing people's podcasts, doing voice-over work, and coaching, and Evan is gaining more clients for his hair-coloring business. Elizabeth, Taylor, Senna (4), and Mack (2) are happily residing in Austin, and the kids keep them very busy! Corbin and his girlfriend, Katie Bozeman, who have been living in Portland, Maine, recently bought 13 acres of property in Freeport, Maine, and will eventually build a house there. Corbin continues with his wood-working business, and Katie is an Assistant District Attorney in Portland. Everybody is coming to Bridgehampton for a week in midJuly, so we're very excited about that! Gerrit and I have spent a lovely winter in Ocean Reef (Key Largo) and are getting ready to head back to Bridgehampton shortly. We had a wonderful Zoom call with about ten of our classmates recently, and it was wonderful to see everybody again! Carolyn Gibbons Abernethy put it all together and coached anybody who was having trouble with audio issues, etc. We hope to do it again soon! Much love to you all!

Class Agent: Anne Crimmins acrimmin@comcast.net Would you like to volunteer be the 1969 Class Agent? Susalee Norris Sasser - I sometimes talk to Dede Perkins Gilbert '69, Nancy Adler '69, Bootsie Riegel Parker '69 and Marion Smith '69. They all are doing well. Bill and I have survived COVID without getting sick, and we now have had our vaccines. Our daughter from New York came to stay with us for seven months, so we stayed at our house at Edisto in the country. It has been a very interesting year. We have not been able to do any mission trips. That has been difficult for my husband. We are looking forward to a better 2021.

Lulu Laubenstein Good - With both vaccinations under my belt, I am trying to be brave and dip my toe back into the pool of life! Wags, the two year old, 100+ pound puppy, is so good at getting me out of the house and back into the real world. Our son Anderson's squash coaching job at George Washington University has come to an end as GW, along with a number of colleges, has dropped a number of sports, including squash. Happy to say he has earned his masters degree and has landed on his feet and will be working in DC for the foreseeable future. Bill and I are doing well and are hoping to get to spend some time at our family house in the Poconos. Natalie "Nats” Morgan Macy - So happy to be able to get together again with friends and family after a very long year! Cherishing every moment. Lots of hugs and laughter. Priceless! Feeling blessed. All the family is safe and well! Wishing everyone a happy spring and summer and hoping to see you all for our 50th next spring!

Lynda Wellman Dobson - Well, I did it! I retired from a job of 27 years on December 31, 2020, and immediately my husband and fur babies jumped in the car that afternoon to drive to our new life in Portland, Maine. Amazingly, I have not regretted one moment of retirement or moving. I just enjoyed a fabulous weekend with my daughter, Chotsie, and her family in Indiana. Avery and Jack are growing so fast and are my heart. I was in contact with Carol Counas '75 earlier this month. She, too, is doing well.

Although I loved my job and was extremely thankful to be working during the entire pandemic, I must admit I cannot wipe the smile off my face. I plan on getting back to daily exercise, seeing friends, gardening, and adventures. My husband and I also look forward to more time at our Nantucket cottage and visiting our boys. So sorry I missed the reunion weekend.

Class Agent: Heather Wistar LaBudde hwlabudde@gmail.com Class Agent: Mary Ellen Power Rogers mepower2@gmail.com Heather Wistar LaBudde - Hello, gals! Hope everyone is getting geared up for summer! I can't wait to hit the pool! My younger son Timothy "finishes" high school next month and "graduates" on June 5, exactly 40 years to the day after Oldfields Class of '81 graduated!! Goodness! Has it been that long since we all walked down the hill barefoot (well, some of us), carrying our roses and giving hugs to Taylor Smith? Krikie! My older son will be working in a lab (bio research) this summer, and graduating from Tufts in the spring! He will start medical school at Tufts after that. It's anyone's bet on what kind of doctor he will be! It's rather exciting to speculate! I continue occupational therapy in an acute-care rehab. I am very much looking forward to taking a break though and getting away on my VERY first trip to Disney World with my younger son, Timothy! He has never been there either. I am hoping I get the privilege of seeing Laura Rogers Towne '82 while down there as well. She and I have been keeping in touch, which has been special. Think that's all the news fit to print! Happy summer, everyone! Wis :)

Class Agent: Adrienne Russo Mach adriennerusso1@gmail.com Susan Straley Darcey - Been teaching in Austin, Texas, for about 30 years. Now we run our own elementary micro-school on eight acres, and, boy, it is SO much fun! I am so happy. (www.schoolontherise.com) David and I and our kids built our own strawbale house 25 years ago and have added solar power, gardens, and an art studio (for me), and recently an orchard (only 18 young trees, but it feels so good). Our three children (in their 30s) are off in the world making it a better place. We love visitors, so if any Oldfields folks are down here, let me know. We have guest rooms.

Eleanor "Pickett” Floyd Fulton '82 - Hi all, I hope everybody is doin' well. I lost my father in February. It has been a lot to get used to. He was a very big part of my day. But it gets better every day. My boys are getting big. Alexander is 23, still riding his horses. Patrick is 20 and is going to Penn State for his second year. Michael, my husband, is still working but is talking of slowing down. And I still manage our horse farm. I started raising labradors and have a couple of litters a year which keeps me very busy. Please keep safe. Laura Rogers Towne - I will be retiring from the practice of medicine at the end of July and starting as a full-time art student at Flagler College here in Saint Augustine. My goal is to receive a BFA in a couple of years and then to somehow use that to find a job. I would love to teach art, work in a gallery or museum, or have my own small business. A huge change, but I am so excited!

Meredith Goldstein Marx - During the spring semester at Oldfields, the Effective Speaking class has been working with Meredith Marx, mom of current students Casey '25 and Parker '25, to take a look at what it takes to be a radio host! Meredith, a local radio personality here in Baltimore, spent three days working with the students to give them insight on producing various types of radio reports. Our virtual time concluded with a presentation from each student who had the chance to create and produce their own radio spot. Meredith complimented the girls for their enthusiasm, creativity, and hard work.

My twins Casey '25 and Parker '25 have had the best year at Oldfields! They have loved every moment in this community. We got a pandemic puppy named Louie Bear. He is a 2nd generation puggle and quite active with his big sister, Georgie (also a puggle). They are both big on the social media scene! Lots of fans. It's been a pawsome addition to our family.

Erin Janoff Brooks - I have started a yarn art business. I crochet cat and dog plushies for families who may have wanted a friend for their furry child or a token of a beloved pet they have lost. I also have crocheted Pokemon, anime characters, and some other basic teddy bears, foxes and/or kids plushies. I love that my passion is able to give back to others. And know that each crochet plush is made with love!

Brant MacDuff '03 - Hey, gang! I'm still slogging away on my little book. It's about the conservation economy, sustainable eating, and hunting in America. Hopefully it'll be out next year. Whenever I get a release date I'll be sure to beg everyone to buy a copy. I was lucky to have such an engrossing project during the pandemic. When I'm not writing, I'm up in the Catskill Mountains getting some fresh air. I give history tours of the dioramas at the American Museum of Natural History in NYC, too, so if you're ever in the area, let me know!

Brant MacDuff '03, Research is fun when you like the books!

We just hosted our Zoom reunion! It was great to see familiar faces and catch up with everyone. As for me, all is well! I still live in Washington, DC, with my husband (Ryan) and this past year we got a "COVID puppy." His name is Hank, and he is the world's cutest. Hope everyone else is staying well! Xoxoxo

Class Agent: Catherine "Kate” Maddox catherinemaddox522@gmail.com Clara Bowe - Former faculty Anne Weeks reports that Clara Bowe is doing "absolutely amazing work in crewel." Her beautiful crewel work for her Baltimore-based company Crewel And Kind "is informed by a Master's degree in Environmental Conservation Education; it is driven by a need to understand and to communicate the beauty of nature and the built environment." Kate Maddox - I am living in Chicago and am navigating a career change after managing an Art Gallery for four years. Looking forward to seeing what the next chapter holds and experiencing another Chicago summer! Casey Pinkard Savin - Casey joined the Sport Horse May Program this spring, showing a group of Oldfields riders the Maryland Hunt Cup Steeplechase course and talking about her experience as a rider after Oldfields. Thank you for sharing, Casey!

Lauren Simmons - Throughout my riding career I have ridden all, different breeds but really fell in love and connected with off the track Thoroughbreds the most. I recently launched an equestrian apparel brand called OTTB MAFIA. OTTB is an acronym for off the track Thoroughbred. Every year thousands of Thoroughbreds who don't make the cut as racehorses are in need of new homes. Luckily there are many rescues across the country that are dedicated to rehoming ex-racehorses and helping them start second careers. I wanted to create a community based brand for other OTTB enthusiasts like me. OTTB MAFIA has apparel and accessories for riders of all disciplines and backgrounds. As OTTB MAFIA continues to grow I plan on giving back to OTTB rescues and other organizations that support giving ex-racehorses a second chance. Keep an eye out for an article being published soon on Stream Horse TV's website about how my experience at Oldfields molded me into the woman I am today. www.ottbmafia.com IG: ottb_mafia

Ashley Carroll - Ashley Carroll came back to Oldfields via Zoom to speak with the Class of 2021 at 100 Nights to Graduation. She fondly remembers At-Home Nights, her advisor Mrs. Karen Miller, and wearing the tiger costume as the White Team Spirit. Eight years post-graduation she states, "More than anything, Oldfields taught me resiliency, which only strengthened through college and serves me well in my professional career now. I have learned that it's really okay to make mistakes, because those mistakes will guide you to learn more." Her message resonated deeply with our seniors in this unprecedented year.

I was feeling young again, so many memories and stories came back to me! I will always call Oldfields my second home, the place that made me the woman I am today, loyal, faithful, smart and honest! Thank you, Oldfields Class of 2015!

Dalvida Palmer - Dalvida Palmer '15 came back virtually via Zoom to speak to the Class of 2021 at 100 Nights to Graduation. The former All-School President traveled to West Africa as a community health educator for the Peace Corps after getting her degree in political science. Her leadership qualities were evident as she shared valuable insights with her Oldfields family. "Six identity questions I ask myself every week: Who do you care for? Show it. What betters you? Do it. What bothers you? Address it. What do you fear? Challenge it. What do you believe in? Know it. What do you value? Embody it. As long as I know the answers to those, then I know who I am."

Mara Golding-Powers - I graduated from Chapman University in 2019 with a BS in business management and am currently studying at the University of San Diego's Masters of Education teaching program. Shin Hae Lee - Hi, this is Korean alumna from 2015, Shin Hae Lee and it's very nice to send you my class note. So far, I have been taking online Shoreline Community College (which is in Seattle) classes at my home in Korea. Before COVID-19 spread, I took in-person class at my school. After the pandemic, I came back to Korea and feel safer here. For online spring quarter class at SCC this year, I'm taking English 101, which is a college-level language class. I took and passed level 8 of ESL for winter quarter 2021. For me, English 101 is half easy, half hard. Because I wasn't born and raised in the States, I think that English is still my 2nd language. Therefore, sometimes it's tricky. Although sometimes it's not quite easy, I have always done my best. My plan for the near future is I'm going to take online SCC class in Korea until this year, and then when 2022 comes, I'm going to transfer to a community college in the east coast. Even though Seattle is a wonderful place as well, I think that east coast has a deep connection with me, so it feels more like family to me. My family and I lived in Boston when I was a little girl (I mentioned this on my senior presentation paper when I was a senior at Oldfields) and my high school, Oldfields, is in the east as well. Those are why I'm not planning to live in Washington State anymore. When I will be eligible to do my major study in the near future, I'm considering choosing my career as a fairy tale author. The reason is I think it's fit for my aptitude. I love fictional characters, such as Hello Kitty, Moomin, Miffy. I like searching and collecting the images of any of those characters. Also, I think that language is extremely important in our lives because we always interact with each other. When I become a fairy tale author, I have no idea if my status will be able to have a high income, but I think it's one of the stable jobs. Because COVID-19 is still not yet completely gone, I don't think it's available to visit Oldfields for a while. For the pandemic to be completely gone, it seems that it would take 2 or 3 years. Gladly, I got both 1st and 2nd dose of COVID-19 vaccine (in the States when I was there recently. My sister and I recently went and stayed in the country for some reason). Dalvida Palmer '15 Really hope other alumni from and everyone who is currently at Oldfields are safe. I don't know if my English writing for Class Notes for school magazine looks very good, but hope everyone like it. Always appreciate your kindness.

Katie Walsh '16, her grandmother, and her mother Katie Walsh - Hey, guys! Just wanted to update people. Like most of my class I got the great joy of graduating from Eckerd online! I am also proud to announce that in September I moved to York, England, to pursue my masters at University of York and adopted a little kitten, my August! Sorry I'm going to be missing the reunion! Also, mom and grandma are doing great! Hope everyone is doing okay during these tough times!

Class Agent: Claire Webne clairewbn@gmail.com Vivian Love - It is crazy to think that I am about to wrap up my freshman year of college, I feel like I was just sitting in Morning Meeting! I am super grateful to have spent my entire year on the High Point University campus with no remote classes. My family is planning to spend the summer in North Carolina, which is totally okay. I loveeee this state! I also have an internship and job lined up this summer with Speedway Motorsports in their corporate sales department at Charlotte Motor Speedway and am on track to be studying abroad next year in Seville, Spain!

Past Faculty and Staff

Edith Hustvedt - Not much to report due to COVID-19! Still here and in pretty good shape for 89! I can't believe it has been 52 years since we left Chicken Hill! Where does the time go? Best to all there! Jane Spencer - Joe and I are loving retirement, and the dogs love having us home. Our big excitement was that our Grand Champion Old English Sheepdog, Philomena (we call her Phillie), whelped six puppies on December 20th.

Anne and Jim Weeks - Jim and I are living in Lunenburg, Nova Scotia. We Jane Spencer and her puppies have been fortunate to have some Oldfields people visit - Sven Jensen P'05, Taylor Smith, Grace Smythe '05, the Rabinowitzes P'05, and Katherine Richardson '04. We would love to have others stop by. Jim continues to write, having recently completed a screenplay about Wyatt Earp, in retirement. He meets with a group of men at the pub weekly, where they solve the world's problems (pre-COVID, of course). I am still doing college counseling part-time with a company in Shanghai. I have developed a love for photography and often look to both Bob Creamer and Katya Chilingiri for inspiration. We have a darling Jack Russell terrier named Murphie, who hikes with me on trails and on the beaches, whom we adopted from Pauline Combe-Clark '73, an Oldfields alumna and Green Team member. Our son, Jed, is married and has a little one on the way, still living in Baltimore and engrossed in social justice issues. A few years ago, we visited with Nancy Maslack Wolf and Aina Herbert Hunter '91. We do miss our Oldfields family.Former faculty Jim and Anne Weeks
