Shout Outs

her husband have been traveling again now that COVID-19 is slacking off. This summer, they were on a European river cruise and in London with their son, and they have just returned from a tour of Egypt. I had a wonderful day visit with Katie Culbertson Prentice '65 and her husband this summer at my house in Maine. They summer in the lakes area of Maine, where they have cottages for rent. They winter in New York City and on an island off Key West. So great to reconnect after all these years! Apologies to my classmates for any facts that I remembered incorrectly!

SUSIE HADDEN LAWRENCE '65 David and I have left our wonderful house in Chestnut Hill, Massachusetts, after 22 years, the longest either of us has spent in one place ever. Our plan is to move into an apartment in Boston and spend more time in Maine and on trips.

HANNAH LOVE ROBINSON '65 Strange year—but not all bad! Our son and daughter-in-law presented us with our third grandchild after 13 years of marriage (!) on January 10. A more cheerful and smiley little girl there never was! Miss Abby Louise Robinson is a wonderful addition to our "fleet," which also includes six-year-old Callum and nine-yearold Hannah (going on 20), children of our daughter Hannah and son-in-law Rob Murray. We are fortunate as all our kids and grandkids live within fifteen miles of us. Sons Will and Brad have taken over our excavating/gravel business, allowing Bron and me "warm" time in Florida, staying with Aimee Scovill Greer '65 in Citra on our way. We go up to our place in Brooklin, Maine, four or five times a year, visiting my sisters Allie and Marky Love '67 in Brunswick, Maine, en route and often include a canine scent work trial. This new hobby has been encouraged by my rescue herding mix (combined diet and exercise program) dog. Hope all our class is staying well!

GAY RICHARDSON SMITH '68 Cynthia "Cinnie" Ladd '68 came to Sanibel for a visit before Thanksgiving. Fun to be laughing with my former roommate from 50+ years ago. Some things haven't changed! Love to see more of the '68s on the Vineyard or Sanibel.

SYLVIA TALMAGE KISSEL '70 Hi, I am now a Florida resident retired from real estate. Our two kids live in Florida too! Three grandkids with another arriving in February! Best to all!!!

“We are hoping to share in the (reunion) fun with the 1970 and 1971 classes, as they were such wonderful big sisters to us all.”

CAROL HUBBELL ENGEBRETSON '72 My family and I hunkered down for the past year or two. We have been lucky to attend our daughter Susan's COVID-19free backyard wedding in Denver in September 2020; to add a grandson in November 2020, Torin Robert Engebretson; and to add a granddaughter in September 2021, Esme Riley Engebretson. Torin also has a three-and-a-half-year-old sister, Nora. No one got COVID-19 until recently, and it was the one-year-old bringing it home from daycare! We were able to get to go to Canada last September to see our cottage for the first time in 18 months. The cottage survived COVID-19 quite well, and no mice or leaks! Hope to see you all at our 50th in April!

LULU LAUBENSTEIN GOOD '72 Hard to believe that my class will celebrate our 50th Reunion this April! How can that be if we are all only 39?! We are hoping to share in the fun with the 1970 and 1971 classes, as they were such wonderful big sisters to us all. Husband Bill and I are doing well, and Wags makes sure we get outside for multiple walks morning, noon, and night! Our son, Anderson, is happily working in DC for a federal consulting firm. Besides playing squash, Anderson has now gotten into the sport of court tennis, so all in all, we are a happy and healthy crew!

NATALIE MORGAN MACY '72 Looking ahead to my 50th in 2022!

ELIZABETH "BIDDIE" LABROT '76 I used to think that the premise of the movie Groundhog Day was absurd until COVID-19…Luckily my family and I have made it through fairly unscathed—the living room is now our gym, and we have gotten to know the best take-out places in Denver! I know it's not a reunion year for us, but it would be great to see everyone at Oldfields this April as we honor Hawley Rogers. I hope to see a lot of familiar faces at a (fingers crossed) in-person reunion.

What a home run that Susan "Silly" Sillcox Repko '72 and I got to run into and connect with Christine Smith McHarg '84 at the US Open Tennis Championships. Christine came up for two days from Bermuda for some awesome first-round tennis! Christine was my junior year roommate, and it had been seven or eight years since we last saw each other. OS HEAVEN!

VIRGINIA "GIGI" ABEL LONG '86 My husband, Chris, and I drove up the East Coast this past June to meet my sister and brother-in-law in New Hampshire to climb Mt. Washington. We were on a bit of a time crunch, but able to stop in the DC area to meet up with my friend/roommate, Anne McIntyre Colclough '86 for a visit. It was so great to catch up with her... in-person. Also, it was nice to connect with other classmates via Zoom during our virtual Alumni Weekend this past April. Hopefully, we can have our Alumni Weekend gathering in person in 2022. Until next time, I'm happy to keep in touch via social media, email, phone, and text with you.

LESLIE FALINI YOUNG '91 More great news about the success of Leslie's career as a steeplechase trainer. Not only did she win the prestigious International Gold Cup race at The Plains, Virginia, in October with Tomgarrow (Ire), but prior to the last race meeting of the year, Leslie was tied with Hall of Fame trainer Jack Fisher for most wins this year! That's not easy to do! We're mighty proud of Leslie, who was part of Oldfields' Riding Program.

Jackson is a junior at Bowdoin in Maine, and Walker is a freshman at Middlebury in Vermont. Brooks is at home as an 8th grader holding down the fort and running the show as the fearless caboose. I have recently joined the Board of Idaho Business for the Outdoors and still actively participate as a member of the Riverstone School community which has been an enormous piece of our family's experience out here. Life in Boise and Sun Valley is always active, fun, and full of outdoor adventures. We love having friends come to visit, and we truly enjoy sharing the awesomeness of Idaho! Hoping that all my Oldfields sisters are well and that you know that you have a place to call home should you find yourself out this way—our door is always open, and we love any excuse to open the good wine.

I may have green hair, but go White Team!!

CHRISTINE EDWARDS '95 Hey, there, OS! Hope everyone and their families are doing well. It's been a very strange two years, to say the least. I continue to live in DC and am getting more involved in organizations I'm passionate about. My sister, Augusta Edwards '98, is living and running her own business in London. I adore visiting her any chance I get! I send big hugs, xo. Be well.

BLAIR SOWERS-SEAL '96 Hello, everyone! A few of us in Richmond, Virginia, have recently gotten together—Emilie Morneau Rabke '94, Anne Hines Wilson '96, and Nena Adams Meurlin '97. It's great to catch up on what we are all doing now, but also to reminisce about Oldfields. My son will be seven in June and keeps the fun alive! I've recently picked up tennis again which was such a big part of my life at Oldfields. It's fun to be back on the court! Wishing everyone health and happiness in 2022.

VICTORIA OHANNA '01 Hi, everyone! I recently moved to Forest Hill, Maryland, with my fianceé and am so excited that we will be married this June on Oldfields' campus! I remember my first day at Oldfields like it was yesterday, so it's definitely surreal to be back for my wedding. I couldn't be happier to have Phoebe Eilenberg Mullins '01 and Courtney Swanson Pleiss '02 as my bridesmaids as well. Go Green!!
