Santa Catalina’s Bulletin is published twice a year. We welcome suggestions for topics and news, as well as comments about our publication.

Santa Catalina School, located on the Monterey Peninsula, is an independent, Catholic school. The Upper School is a college-preparatory high school for young women, with boarding and day students in grades 9–12. The Lower and Middle School is coeducational, with day students in PreK–grade 8. A summer camp for girls 8–14 years serves resident and day campers. Santa Catalina School is accredited by the California Association of Independent Schools and Western Association of Schools and Colleges. Santa Catalina School admits students of any race, creed, color, and national and ethnic origin to all the rights, privileges, programs, and activities generally accorded or made available to students at the school. It does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, disability, and national and ethnic origin in administration of its educational policies, admission policies, scholarship programs, athletic, or other school-administered programs.

A New Perspective

and to “trade reasons back and forth.”

A recent article about teaching humility in an age of arrogance caught my attention. The general theme of the story, which appeared in The Chronicle of Higher Education: The Chronicle Review, revolves around the challenges caused by constant reinforcement of our already-formed opinions—and what happens if we do not consider the possible limitations to our point of view. This is a natural consequence if what we read, especially on the internet, is tailored to our preferences. Think about a Facebook or Twitter feed. Michael Patrick Lynch, the author of the article, writes of intellectual humility as a “means of seeing your worldview as open to improvement by the evidence and experience of other people.” He goes on to address the need to listen to one another

Mr. Lynch touches on a basic tenet of Santa Catalina’s academic program and culture—that of striving to understand and to respect the personal beliefs of others. I have been deeply impressed by this openness. In conversations throughout my first year, I was struck by the respectful willingness of this community to listen to new ideas as you shared the story of Santa Catalina’s vibrant history. Being associated with Santa Catalina School creates a powerful influence where the values of respect, kindness, and openness are the keys to membership. This is evidenced in the students, graduates, parents, and each person I meet who has been touched by his or her Santa Catalina experience.

During my year of listening, I learned of ways to support the educational or student experience. Some projects, like the newly renovated first-, second-, and third-grade classrooms, had long been imagined. Other projects—like the creation of a college counseling center, the improved Upper School art classroom, and Middle School science classrooms—were a result of the collaborative work of the board, administration, and donors. Santa Catalina’s new health and wellness program is well into development and

promises to have a positive effect on everyone on campus, as described by Sister Christine in this issue.

At the close of the year, I had the genuine pleasure of attending the Kindergarten, Middle School, and Upper School graduations. As everyone who attended will attest, our graduates, even the youngest ones, evidenced confidence and character in the way they proudly participated. They, like the alumnae/i profiled in this publication, have engaged in an educational program that values each person as an individual and a member of a very special community.

Finally and importantly, thank you for your support. Our Annual Report describes the many ways in which Santa Catalina School is able to flourish thanks to you.

Sincerely yours, Meg Bradley

The noblest pleasure is the joy of understanding.

farewell RETIRING TRUSTEES

In May, Santa Catalina’s Board of Trustees bid farewell to six of its members. All possess impressive curricula vitae and biographical information; all have led lives of service to their communities; and all are accomplished and successful in their various life pursuits. While each is different from the others, all share a quality that defines their Santa Catalina lives. Each is a Catalina “alum.”

As word origins go, that of alumnus/a is striking. According to Webster, it finds its way to us from the Latin verb alere, meaning to nourish. At Santa Catalina, the term is reserved for a very special group. Some graduated. Some did not. They are those who have lived fully the life of our community. They have engaged in the school’s day-to-day challenges. They have embraced its values. They have given back in whatever manner they were able. They are loyal … and they most certainly nourish their school. Could there be a more apt description of these

By Sister Christine

board members as they conclude their formal service to Santa Catalina?

Kit Nelson Bedford ’56, following her graduation and her Stanford days, became the first recipient of the Santa Catalina Distinguished Alumnae Award. She reentered the Catalina community when her daughter, Laura ’85, enrolled as a freshman in 1981. From that moment on, the Bedford family has been an integral part of the school. Kit served on the board’s executive committee, the Upper and Lower Schools’ education committees, and the development committee. Whether through athletic facilities, a master gardener’s attention to the

landscape, or her wisdom and humor, Kit, with her husband, Peter, has been a lifelong friend. Her exquisite taste, her innate sense of color and design, her love of the world of art—all of these Kit has shared with Santa Catalina. From the heart, she has cared for us all and we will miss her.

Michael Bruno ’82 LS entered Santa Catalina just as the preschool was opening. The school’s very first group of boys, Michael and his friends would forge ahead as a mighty unit for 10 years to become the Lower School’s first coed graduating class. Now a noted attorney in San Francisco, Michael was the first male student body president in the Lower School and became the first Lower School alumnus to join the board. He assisted Santa Catalina in legal matters, chaired the trustee committee, and served on both the risk management and compensation committees. Over the years, Michael has supported school in any way possible. “From small to tall” Michael has, indeed, “been there for us all,” and we thank him.

Also a recipient of the Distinguished Alumnae Award, Jenny Budge ’71 returned to her alma mater to give two tours of service to the board, chairing the investment committee and serving on the finance and trustee committees. Throughout, Jenny retained her avid interest in horticulture and conservation, contributing to several boards beyond Santa Catalina. Her personal experience as a student and her observations as an adult reinforced her belief that Santa Catalina students “gain moral grounding, a can-do attitude, and a concern for others.” With an eye to continuing these values, Jenny chaired the search committee to identify Santa Catalina’s fourth and first lay head of school. We are most grateful to Jenny and her committee for their final choice of Meg Bradley and to Jenny herself for her ongoing gentle and generous service.

Matt Gibbs and Rueben Richards join the ranks of “alums” by a different measure. Though not graduates themselves, they have more than lived fully the life of our

community. Matt’s association with Santa Catalina began in 2000 when his daughter, Kiley ’14, entered Pre-Kindergarten. A 14year journey followed. On the board, Matt’s financial acumen, his thoughtful perspective on the Lower School education committee, and his advice regarding risk management all served to fulfill his original hope: to balance “people needs with financial and other realworld needs to ensure that Santa Catalina School continues to have all it requires to be a very, very special place.” He more than met his goal. In Peter Folger’s words, “When someone talks about an A-plus-plus trustee, we’ve had one, and his name is Matt Gibbs.”

Likewise, Rueben Richards experienced a nine-year virtual Santa Catalina education with daughter Genevieve ’10. Following the day-to-day life of Lower and then Upper School, he shared his insight and points of view with the Upper School education committee. Rueben enjoyed the range of perspectives, the thoughtful dialogue, and the humor. While serving variously as

For all. You answered every call.

Friend for over 50 years, Our Board Chair for fifteen. Mentor, guide, and comma sleuth

For all the years between. Humble, kind, and loyal, Firm but ever fair. You have always been to us A friend beyond compare!

Supercalifragilistic—what more can we say?

And our JENNY, who lead our Search For Meg with so much ease. Her finance expertise A talent to be seized. An alum who has served our school

MATT ’s a “lifer” whose daughter went From pre-school every day, Those fourteen years to stay Matt’s loyal all the way. With his smile and his audit care His energy he gave. In his very thoughtful way.

With gentleness and grace In her firm and quiet way. SUPERCALIFRAGILISTICEXPIALIDOCIOUS

How to thank our PETER FOLGER? That’s a task ferocious!

Could it be that once he was A lad deemed quite precocious? He’s supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!

You ‘re the perfect image of... The “Catalina Way.” How to thank you? ...We just can’t! But... Know this as we part. You’ll always hold a special place Down deep in every heart.

SOOOOOOO...

Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious

Thank you ALL for ALL you do. I think you’re ALL precocious.

Time for me to say goodnight. You have an early day. Thanks for all this fun together, I’ll BE ON MY WAY! HOORAY!!

Sister Christine, May 2017

Sung to the tune of “Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious” from Mary Poppins

president, board chair, or director of several companies beyond Santa Catalina, Rueben co-chaired the school’s Legacy Campaign. Together with Curt Breitfuss, he led the campaign to significant growth. A consummate host with his wife, Michaela, he opened his home as a warm venue for Legacy Campaign receptions, for the search committee, and to express gratitude to donors to the Santa Catalina Fund. We are all grateful for Rueben’s generous service.

Finally, Peter Folger: board member, board chair, and, by our working definition, an “alum” par excellence. Over time, daughters Katharine ’86, Sarah ’93, and Abiah ’94 shared classrooms and dorms. His wife, Barbara, shared Peter with us for 32 years! How does Santa Catalina describe our friend? Certainly, we can list decisions or moments of leadership that have, in Nonie Ramsay’s words, left Peter’s “footprints in concrete” at Santa Catalina. But these do not define the man. Though adroit and nimble in managing it, Peter cares little for the limelight. In his own words, he likened efforts on behalf of Santa Catalina to an early lesson of Marine life. “It’s not about you. It’s about your troops and your mission.” Further, he reminded us, “It’s all about relationships, what people mean to one another. … It’s about character above all else.” Though never inclined or intending to do so, Peter described himself.

Words do not do justice to Peter. For us all, Sister Claire spoke from the heart. “Each of the four sisters has been touched in a very beautiful way by Peter. To have been in the company of this wonderful friend is certainly one of the blessings afforded Sister Christine and me in our vocations. Model of the Santa Catalina Way, dedicated, respectful of all with whom he works, he always stands for what is right. Peter, we love you like our own. You have been our north star and our guiding light. You have been a brother to us, and I know that we will not have to imagine life without you because you will always be there. Peter Folger in a word? Priceless!”

JOHN

HAZDOVAC DIRECTOR

OF FACILITIES

The Sister Carlotta Distinguished Service Award

The Sister Carlotta Distinguished Service Award is presented annually to a faculty or staff member whose work, either inside or outside the classroom, has epitomized the school’s mission and has enriched the hearts and minds of students at Santa Catalina School. The recipient is recognized for upholding the school’s commitment to educating the whole person, consistent with the values manifested in Sister Carlotta’s vocation of teaching young people.

The nominating committee and Board of Trustees Chair Nonie B. Ramsay ’71 accept nominations from faculty and staff and make recommendations to the Board of Trustees, who then select the recipient. The Sister Carlotta Endowment for Educational Excellence provides a $10,000 honorarium that accompanies the award

John Hazdovac had his work cut out for him this summer. There were classrooms to move, offices to prepare, and construction to keep an eye on, and two members of his maintenance staff were sidelined by injuries. But Hazdovac, as he always does, made it work.

As the director of facilities, Hazdovac oversees the behind-the-scenes work that keeps Catalina humming: maintenance, grounds, housekeeping, security, and emergency planning. He prefers to operate under the radar and usually does, apart from those moments when he’s zipping around in his golf cart from job to job.

Or, rather, he did, until he was “exposed” (his word) as the recipient of the 2017 Sister Carlotta Distinguished Service Award. In this interview, Hazdovac talks about the award, his history, and what it’s like to work on this “island of peace.”

HOW DID IT FEEL TO RECEIVE THE AWARD? I was in awe when they called my name. Out of all the good people here, I felt guilty because I think they could have said anybody’s name. … It’s a pleasure to work here and a tremendous honor to be recognized for what I do. I never thought they’d do that. I thought it was an academically based award. I thought it was above me. It blew me away.

I was shaking. I don’t shake much, but I shook that day. When you see people giving you a standing ovation, doing high fives, women are crying, maybe men too. … I couldn’t look up.

IN YOUR ACCEPTANCE SPEECH, YOU SAID, “I SUIT UP AND SHOW UP.” WHAT DOES THAT MEAN TO YOU? It came from James Teagardin, my old counterpart. I knew him for seven or eight years. He was one of the nicest men I ever met. He was so dear to my heart, he became like an older brother to me. When I mentioned “suit up and show up,” I wish I had said his name because that’s what James did, and I carried that on for him. … When I see something I respond immediately, as he would. I carry him on my shoulder.

WHERE DID YOU LEARN ALL OF THE SKILLS YOU

NEED FOR YOUR JOB? I worked at Waste Management for 26 years. When I was 19, my stepdad, who worked for what was then Salinas Disposal, asked me to come and help build things. I learned a lot of the trades there because we did literally everything: electrical, plumbing, you name it. Then I became parts manager. After the company was bought, I was head of maintenance. I laid about a half-mile of 8-inch pipe for the first methane gas draw in California. Then I became shop supervisor.

HOW DID YOU GET STARTED AT SANTA CATALINA? My son told me about the job. I came out and interviewed, and I felt it went well. And then James [Teagardin] introduced himself and said, “You’re going to go through that door right there and talk to that lady.” Her name was Sister Jean … and I walked into this smoke-filled room with a sister sitting at the desk. She put her cigarette out and said come on in. We started talking, and I told her not so much about my work history, but more about me, about my grandfather coming over from Croatia—how he went from not having anything to becoming kind of a famous restaurateur here. … I love tradition—that’s what I was speaking of when I first talked to Sister Jean—and I think she liked that part, that this guy would fit in.

WHAT DO YOU SEE AS YOUR MAIN ROLE HERE? I believe God’s will for me is to be of service. I think I learned a lot of that having children. My children are grown now, so I’ve kind of passed it on to what I do here for a living, to be of service.

DESCRIBE A TYPICAL WORK DAY. Well, the only thing typical is busy. Every day we lift or move something for somebody. If I look like I’m fit it’s not because I do weights or anything else. I know I’m moving something today.

DO YOU GET TO INTERACT WITH THE STUDENTS? I’m more familiar with the ones who live here because I know their folks so well. I’ve interacted and had some good, funny times with random kids I don’t know. I see them wearing their costume stuff for an event, I stop and tell them a joke and they start busting up laughing, and I take off. They don’t know me from Adam, but I made somebody laugh.

HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE CATALINA? I think I was dropped off on an island of peace. The students here are outstanding and friendly and kind just like the teachers, faculty, and staff, and I think that all came from the top and is how it’s been for many, many years. I love this place.

SUMMER SUMS CAMP

ADDS MATH AND WRITING TO ITS SLATE OF CLASSES

Whether they realize it or not, campers at Summer at Santa Catalina are always learning something. They’re mastering new techniques while expressing their creative side in visual arts classes, delving into chemistry while making slime for science, even learning to be independent as they make choices—and, yes, mistakes—throughout their day.

A lot of these lessons may be hidden to campers who are just simply having fun. So it’s no surprise that the summer program’s first math class would tap into the same level of engaging, hands-on learning. Because math is a “use it or lose it” skill that can drop off for kids over the summer, “Count Me In” was designed to keep campers up to speed while introducing them to new material. Among the projects they engaged in, campers built a digital house using linear equations and created a beautiful Koch snowflake to demonstrate fractals.

“The students told me the class flew by

each day with laughter, problem-solving, critical thinking, and fun,” said teacher Jennifer Duncan. “It was a great success!”

It wasn’t the only new class to reinforce essential skills. One of the movie-making courses, “Story Beats,” was intentionally added because of its focus on writing. Another course, “Miss Roboto,” dove deep into STEM as girls worked together to design and build a robot.

For tried-and-true courses, the campers found a way to keep things fresh. In the marine biology class, they expressed what they learned through song, rewriting the lyrics to Moana’s “How Far I’ll Go” and turning the exercise into a music video.

On top of activities like swimming, surfing, horseback riding, sing-alongs, s’mores at the beach, ukulele lessons, and the

friendly Checks vs. Stripes competitions, it all adds up to a unique experience that sticks. “Catalina has shaped me in so many ways and means the world to me. I am who I am because of summer camp there,” said Fiona Barbour, a former camper and counselor who worked as the office coordinator this year.

“It’s a massive pillar of my life.”

NO GENIE REQUIRED

“You ain’t never had a friend like me!” Good luck getting rid of that earworm from one of the most memorable songs of Disney’s Arabian Nights classic, Aladdin . As performed by the energetic and talented cast of Summer at Santa Catalina’s Aladdin Jr., the song is more than a hilarious rundown of what the Genie can do for our titular hero: It’s practically an anthem for camp. There’s nothing quite like a Summer at Santa Catalina bond.

With 30 campers involved in the play, there were plenty of opportunities for friendship. The cast of 23 gelled in the ensemble numbers “Prince Ali” and “Friend Like Me.” The seven-member tech crew made the production even better. As camp director Julie Yurkovich Forrest ’78 put it, “To us, the techies are not the unsung heroes; they’re the sung heroes.”

Impressive set pieces added to the fun. There was the giant elephant on wheels, and the magic carpet built on top of a golf cart. During “A Whole New World,” Aladdin and Jasmine “flew” around on the carpet as images of the Leaning Tower of Pisa, the Statue of Liberty, and other famous landmarks were projected behind them. Talk about magic!

And, come to think of it, “A Whole New World” would be a pretty fitting camp anthem, too.

SUMMER AT SANTA CATALINA MISSION

Summer at Santa Catalina is dedicated to the physical, social, and spiritual growth of girls. Our summer camp program strives to nurture girls as they begin to build their independence and self-reliance. We aim to help campers develop the virtues of honesty, kindness, and respect for others. Our goal is that campers receive and contribute to the support of a caring community and leave camp with greater self-confidence, eager to be contributing members of their own communities

SIXTH-GRADERS

PRESENT RESEARCH AT AQUARIUM

Six students in grade 6, who worked to reduce the use of plastic in our school, presented their project at the Ocean Plastic Pollution Summit at the Monterey Bay Aquarium on April 29. The students were Tarn Reilly, Michaela Miller, Riley Yates, Miriam Riley, Yunese Amatya, and Jasmine Flanders. They were accompanied by teachers Kelly Miller and Jessica Bangham.

The sixth-grade theme for the 2016–17 school year was to raise awareness about the problem of plastics in our school community. After auditing the single-use plastics being discarded at lunchtime by Lower and Middle School students, the sixth grade had a goal of focusing on reducing the amount of plastic utensils and Ziploc bags. Santa Catalina worked toward having a Zero Waste Week to cut down on plastics at school. Student presentations used posters and public service announcements to promote the goal.

The sixth-grade goal was met, but students are still adamant about cutting down on all plastic.

The students who attended the summit had the opportunity to see and hear project presentations from many other schools having the same goal. They were also invited to spend the night in the Deep Blue Sea exhibit and enjoy breakfast at the aquarium the next morning. It was a memorable experience that made a difference in the lives of our students and in our school community.

RECORD WINS WITH REGIONAL SCHOLASTIC ART AWARDS

Thirty-two middle school students from Santa Catalina Lower and Middle School earned a total of 52 awards in the 2017 Scholastic Art & Writing competition, West Region-at-Large. Every student who submitted a piece received recognition—the first time that has happened at Catalina, according to technology teacher Susan Kendall.

Three types of awards were given: Honorable Mention, Silver Key, and Gold Key. Each work that received a Gold Key advanced automatically to national judging. Students who received Gold or Silver Key awards were eligible for a Scholastic summer scholarship. All 32 students received awards in the art categories. Many students received more than one award. A list of winners follows. (Numbers in parentheses indicate the number of awards that student received.)

FAMOUS CHARACTERS COME TO LIFE

George Lucas, Amelia Earhart, and Jane Goodall walk into the Assembly Room. … That’s not the opening line of a joke but the scene of Grade 3’s Biography Night on March 28. After researching notable figures past and present, each student chose a subject, dressed up as that person, and answered questions in character. The findings were indeed revealing. J.K. Rowling disclosed that her favorite Harry Potter book is Goblet of Fire, Benjamin Franklin described how his kite experiment went better than expected, and Marie Tharp humbly explained that her map of the ocean floor led to the acceptance of plate tectonics.

Students wrote short biographies, drew portraits, and created Venn diagrams to illustrate qualities they shared with their alter ego. During technology class, the students planned, researched, designed, and then sanded, hammered, glued, and painted wood boxes to symbolize their Biography Night characters. Box decorations depicted awards, stories, and other images of the famous person’s life. Drawings inside the boxes portrayed feelings and thoughts. Students added clay figures and scrolls that contained three “Laws of the Heart”—the deeper philosophies their subjects lived by. Upper School art teacher Michelle Avery assisted with the project.

STUDENTS SHINE IN 49TH ANNUAL MATHLETICS

Twelve students, three from each grade level 5–8, sharpened their pencils and their math skills to participate in the 49th annual Mathletics competition on May 13.

Overall, six students earned Honorable Mention, which means they placed in the top 10 percent of their age group in Monterey County. In addition, the grade 7 team placed third and grade 8 took second.

Mathletics is a math contest held each May to encourage excellence in math and to recognize the achievements of individual students and the schools they represent. The Monterey County Office of Education and CSU Monterey Bay Mathematics Department sponsor the event, which draws more than 300 upper elementary, middle, and high school students from Monterey County public and private schools.

Congratulations to all participants! We are very proud of you, and we offer our thanks to teachers Jessica Bangham and Lorna Monroe for coaching the grade 5–8 students.

SPRING WRAP-UP

The Cougars had a strong spring sports season highlighted by two championship-caliber teams.

The tennis team was large this season, with more than 40 students competing. Coach Shelly Scott set up mini-tiebreakers throughout the season to give each athlete a chance to play. Izy Nagy (grade 7) was a great competitor in the No. 1 singles spot all season, and Pablo Sanchez (grade 6) was a top-four singles player. Sanchez and Grady Garzo (grade 6) were the No. 1 doubles players. Overall, the tennis team went 5–5 on the season.

The golf squad was small this season but boasted some of the top golfers in the league. At the top of the pack was Alex Iniakov (grade 8), who led by double digits in every match he played. Other strong golfers included Sydney Craven (grade 7) and Ethan Leamey (grade 6). The team ended the season with a record of 9–1 but had to sit out the championships because of outdoor education trips.

Track and field was dominated by a large grade 6 squad; a small but strong showing of track athletes from grades 7 and 8 participated. Some students competed for the first time, while others tried for a place on the school record board. In the girls’ division, eighth-grader Leona Lind-Aunan reached the board in third place in the 100- and 200-meter races. For the boys, classmate Joseph Do landed on the board in four events, hitting third in the 100- and 400-meter races, first in the 200-meter race, and tying for first place in the long jump. In grade 6, Juliette Kosmont reached first in the 100-meter race, and Wyley Dale hit third in the shot put. Three seventhgraders—Kandace Kimes, Davonn Ngo, and Nicholas Udwadia—bounced back after long school trips to represent Catalina in the championships. Kimes took first overall in the seventh-grade 100-meter race and the long jump, and Udwadia took third in the boys’ long jump.

Seventh-grader Nicole Munoz was part of a small but mighty golf squad.

Seventh-grader Davonn Ngo makes a successful attempt at the high jump at a track and field meet.

“It’s a little inaccurate to call it a club. FIRST’s motto is that robotics is a ‘Sport for the Mind.’ We’re calling it a team to make the distinction.”

NUNS-N-BOLTS BUILD A BOT

In a cavernous garage-like room in the lower level of the math and science center, members of Santa Catalina’s new robotics team designed, built, wired, and programmed their way to a successful competition season.

For six weeks starting in January 2017, members of Nuns-N-Bolts, as the team came to be known, spent 15 hours a week turning their sketches into a working robot. It wasn’t always pretty. They were learning new skills, and the inevitable technical snags made the process frustrating at times. In the end, they pulled together to craft a robot that could operate autonomously, collect and shoot Wiffle balls, attach gears to a lever, and hoist itself up a tower.

Nuns-N-Bolts made a strong first impression in the FIRST Robotics Competition. (FIRST stands for For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology.) In their debut at the Sacramento Regional competition at UC

Davis from March 22-25, they finished in tenth place among 56 teams, earning them the Highest Rookie Seed Award. The next week, they entered the more competitive Silicon Valley Regional and finished 14th out of 60 teams.

Team member Lulu Fang ’18, who has been involved with robotics since middle school, described the season as a “surprising and phenomenal experience” and an “unexpected opportunity,” thanks to support from the school. Maintenance staff member Bobby McLaughlin converted a storage room into a workspace for the team, outfitting the space with workbenches, whiteboards, toolboxes, and all of the tools needed to build the robot. The development office helped the team apply for a $6,000 NASA grant that went toward entrance fees and parts. The school tapped Brandon Naylor, a fuel-efficiency researcher at the Naval Postgraduate School in Monterey, to be the team’s mentor.

Robotics was classified as a club, but

for all the work it took, co-heads Madison Gong ’18 and Kaylaa Kawasaki ’17 likened it more to an athletics team.

“It’s a little inaccurate to call it a club,” Gong said. “FIRST’s motto is that robotics is a ‘Sport for the Mind.’ We’re calling it a team to make the distinction.”

In the end, the 14 team members got more out of the experience than just a set of practical skills. “During the process, we learned to confront our feelings and influence each other to stay positive and motivated,” said Fang.

JOURNEY DAY

ALUMNAE SHARE WORDS OF WISDOM

The second Journey Day of the year, March 9, was a day of action and discovery. Freshmen spent the day on service projects throughout Monterey County, sophomores took tours of two San Francisco Bay Area universities, and juniors and seniors heard from several alumnae and parents who shared stories and advice from their professional lives.

This last portion included three keynote speeches, a career panel, and breakout sessions. Here are some highlights from the keynote speakers, all alumnae.

LINDSAY HELLER ’95

Heller is a practicing clinical psychologist whose specialties include helping adolescents who have experienced trauma. She is more broadly known through her consulting business, “The Nanny Doctor,” providing step-by-step guidance to families in the process of hiring a nanny and resolving any conflicts that arise.

She is an avid boxer who trains 12 to 15 hours a week in a gym owned by world-champion trainer Freddie Roach. Her nickname is Dr. Hellcat. On Journey Day, Heller talked about what it means to be a dynamic woman: multifaceted, empathetic, passionate, and embracing a get-it-done attitude.

Being a dynamic woman doesn’t mean being friends with everyone. Sometimes people aren’t going to like you, and it’s OK. You have to get comfortable with that.

—Lindsay Heller ’95

The bad times go away, and the good times do, too. So you can’t dwell on either one. … Tomorrow will be different.

—Marie Cantin ’70

RENATA ENGLER ’67

Engler, who this year celebrated her 50th reunion, is a retired colonel with the U.S. Army Medical Corps, where she served as a physician for 38 years. Currently, she is a clinical and research consultant in the areas of immunology and integrative medicine at Walter Reed Army Medical Center.

MARIE CANTIN

’70

Cantin is a film and TV producer who in February 2017 was awarded the prestigious Frank Capra Achievement Award from the Directors Guild of America, honoring her active leadership in the union and her service to the industry. She has taught film production at several colleges and universities, most recently at the American Film Institute Conservatory, where her students turned out a crop of award-winning thesis projects.

Whether stepping in to rescue a movie in trouble or taking over an art and music camp, Cantin often works on projects in transition. A voracious reader, she is currently working on her first novel. For Journey Day, Cantin talked about lessons learned from the often-shifting trajectory of her career.

The daughter of immigrants who survived Nazi Germany, Engler worked at Santa Catalina while she was a student here. She became a U.S. citizen at age 16, and earned her medical degree from Georgetown University. Her Journey Day presentation centered on health, healing, and learning. She talked about the power of forgiveness, hope, spirituality, and sleep.

How your life goes and the opportunities you can pursue and the work you can do is based on how well your ‘car’ runs. Your body is the car for your soul, and you want to take good care of it.

—Renata Engler ’67

TW0 STUDENTS PLACE FIRST IN

STATEWIDE MANDARIN SPEECH CONTEST

Cayleigh Capaldi ’18 and Erika Schwerdfeger ’19 placed first in their categories at the 42nd annual Mandarin Speech Contest hosted by the Chinese Language Teachers Association of California in April. Capaldi won first prize in the AP category, while Schwerdfeger placed first in the Level 3 category for non-heritage speakers.

They wrote short speeches and recited them at the contest. Capaldi spoke about being the U.S. ambassador for the 2015 Hangzhou Global Tour between her freshman and sophomore years.

“It was daunting to write and memorize a meaningful speech in Chinese about my travels around the world … but as soon as I stood up in front of the judges, I was excited and ready to display my skills,” said Capaldi, who also sang an excerpt from a traditional Chinese song.

Schwerdfeger, who spoke about her twin sister, said she was worried about being overmatched by students whose parents spoke fluent Chinese. But when she learned that heritage and non-heritage speakers competed in their own categories, she turned her initial unease to her advantage.

“With no Chinese heritage, and having never even been to China, I definitely felt like an outlier. But I think this feeling actually helped me,” she said. “I worked a lot harder at preparing myself—an overcompensation, I know now, but beneficial nonetheless.”

Both students expressed gratitude for their teacher, Bo Covington, who helped them prepare for their speeches.

CAPALDI ’18 EARNS SPOT AT WORLDWIDE CHINESE BRIDGE COMPETITION

After taking first place at the Chinese Proficiency Competition for Foreign High School Students (Chinese Bridge) in San Francisco on May 14, Cayleigh Capaldi earned a spot as a national representative at the Worldwide Chinese Bridge Competition in China. Though she was unable to attend, she would have been among just 146 students from 73 countries participating.

SING THEIR PRAISES! CHOIR PLACES FIRST AT MUSIC IN THE PARKS

> Santa Catalina’s choir is unstoppable! For the ninth consecutive year, the group of ultra-talented singers took first place in the Women’s Choir Division at Music in the Parks. They were also named Best Overall Choir at the May 14 festival held at Great America. And the trophy case gets a little fuller.

NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY

PROMOTES AWARENESS OF MENTAL HEALTH

Members of Santa Catalina’s National Honor Society (NHS) declared March 20–24 as Mental Health Awareness Week. Students shared information about mental illness, mental health, and self-care, as well as personal stories.

In addition, NHS reached out to Kahlil Thompson Coyle ’93, a mental health advocate in Ireland. She recorded a video in which she offered advice to Catalina students on how to take time each day to maintain mental wellness. “Every single one of us experiences dips in our mental health,” Coyle said. “That’s part and parcel of being a human being.”

CATALINA’S TOE-TAPPING MUSICAL BRINGS LOVE AND LABOR TOGETHER

Sid Sorokin is the handsome new superintendent of the Sleep-Tite Pajama Factory. When he meets Babe Williams, the feisty leader of the union grievance committee, he falls in love almost instantly, and she in kind. But it’s not long before a labor dispute threatens to tear them apart.

The plot doesn’t exactly scream “fun, lighthearted musical,” but that’s just what The Pajama Game is. Set in 1954 in a small town in the Midwest, it’s a classic production with big dance numbers and countless catchy songs. As Sid and Babe, Fila Oen ’18 and Madigan Webb ’17 (playing a role made

famous by Doris Day) performed several love songs, including the up-tempo “There Once Was a Man (I Love You More).” In the clever “Hey There,” Sid records his love on a dictaphone, then plays it back for a kind of self-duet.

The undercurrent to the love story is the labor dispute, as workers demand a 7½-cent pay increase. An ensemble cast portrayed the workers, performing in many of the show’s grandest and most intricate song-and-dance numbers, including the opener, “Racing with the Clock.” A subplot involves factory timekeeper Vernon Hines (Juliana Tarallo ’17),

who’s driven to jealousy by the perceived flirting of his girlfriend, secretary Gladys Hotchkiss (Anna Baricevic ’18). Tarallo provided laugh-out-loud moments, including showcase songs “I’ll Never Be Jealous Again” and “Think of the Time I Save.”

The Pajama Game was Catalina’s largest production of the year, with 60 students in the cast and crew, leaving lots of room for new talent. Between the toe-tapping songs, snappy dance numbers, creative scene changes, and versatile two-story set, there was never a dull moment. As the title song goes, “Nothing’s quite the same as the Pajama Game”!

STUDENTS EXCEL AT MATHLETICS, CALIFORNIA MATH LEAGUE CONTESTS

It was a banner year for Santa Catalina’s math students, who took home major prizes from the 49th annual Mathletics competition and the California Math League.

Mathletics

Catalina students racked up 21 awards—including the top prize in calculus—at the Mathletics competition on May 13. Seniors Audrey Bennett, Jayne Oentoro, and Chloe Zhao received the new Robert P. Balles Scholarship award, handed to the highest scoring Advanced Calculus team. The prize came with a check for $500 each.

The competition was held at Hartnell College in Salinas and included public and private high schools in Monterey County.

California Math League

On May 15, Math Department Chair Ned Stork honored students who participated in California Math League contests throughout the year. Fifty-two students took part in at least one contest, and 15 participated in all six.

For the third consecutive year, Sein Lee ’18 received the Balles Award, given to students who compete in all six contests and score an average of four out of six correct answers. She was joined this year by Iris Kang ’18 and Chloe Zhao ’17. The Balles Award comes with a $500 check.

Kang, Lee, and Zhao also earned Top in Class honors along with Rosemary Lee ’20 and Annie Luo ’19.

WRITER-IN-RESIDENCE: STORYTELLING MAKES US HUMAN

In his final session of the week, Writerin-Residence Okey Ndibe talked about the importance of stories. “What makes us deeply, profoundly human is our ability to tell stories,” he explained to the creative writing class and a few assembled alumnae who were in town for their reunion.

Ndibe spent March 6–10 telling stories to every English class at Santa Catalina. His free-flowing talks, which changed from class to class and were driven by the inspiration in the room, touched on his life and his journey as a writer. He also met with a few students one on one.

“I had a wonderful time visiting students who are really talented, attentive, and take themselves seriously as scholars,” he said. “This has been one of my most pleasurable visits to any school in this country.”

Ndibe is a Nigerian-American political columnist and author whose books include the novels Arrows of Rain and Foreign Gods, Inc. and the memoir Never Look An American in the Eye: Flying Turtles, Colonial Ghosts, and the Making of a Nigerian American .

On his first day at Santa Catalina, he

told students about his duty as a journalist to be a “voice for the voiceless” and to seek justice through truth. When he worked in Nigeria, that meant taking on the “contemptible elite”—government officials who dealt in corruption, padding their pockets while 70 percent of the country’s residents lived on less than a dollar a day.

On his last day at Santa Catalina, Ndibe spoke of a different kind of truth: the idea of palimpsest, the notion that “there isn’t one story, but a harvest of stories.”

As an example, he talked about the two ways he became a novelist. The first was by lying about having written a book and then having to make good on that lie. The second was tied to a family myth about his grandfather bringing English to their village.

As the Nigerian proverb says, “All stories are true.” And that’s why stories are so important, whether as journalism or fiction. “The story that must be told doesn’t forgive silence,” Ndibe explained.

Ndibe speaks mostly at colleges, but he relishes the times he gets to spend with high school students because, as he says, they

still have their futures ahead of them. “I like to try to engage them on the subject of the importance of the imagination, which is relevant not only to those who want to pursue careers as writers, but in any field,” he said. “Just to be imaginative as a human being is the best possible state I can think of.”

Ndibe captured the imaginations of more than a few Santa Catalina students. “Incredible man,” said Isabelle Redfield ’17. “He offered me advice that I will always keep with me.”

I had a wonderful time visiting students who are really talented, attentive, and take themselves seriously as scholars. This has been one of my most pleasurable visits to any school in this country.

Writer-in-Residence Okey Ndibe speaks to students in Mary Johnson Recital Hall.

The library stocked up on two of Ndibe’s books.

CATALINA JUNIOR REPRESENTS GIRLS WHO CODE AT IBM CONFERENCE

Madison Gong ’18, a Girls Who Code alum, took the stage with the organization’s founder at the massive IBM InterConnect Conference in Las Vegas on March 21. Gong participated in a Girls Who Code summer immersion program in 2016 at IBM’s Silicon Valley Labs, where her team made a website using Watson and the Bluemix cloud system. At InterConnect, Gong and two other high school girls spoke about their experience, first in front of a crowd of about 18,000 during the opening address and again in a panel discussion facing an audience of about 1,500. Both times they were joined by Girls Who Code founder Reshma Saujani.

“I think the best experience that we took from our time with IBM and Girls Who Code is the chance to spend time, to collaborate, and to work in a real tech company that so passionately supports young women in STEM fields,” Gong said during the opening address. At the end of that session, IBM Chair Ginni Rometty surprised the students by announcing they each would have a paid internship at the company this summer.

Gong also spoke at IBM’s Watson Developer Conference in November 2016. She was a co-head of Catalina’s FIRST Robotics team. The school’s new Girls Who Code Club, founded by Lauren Morgenthaler ’17, meets Saturdays at Monterey Peninsula College.

SPRING SPORTS WRAP-UP

The spring sports season was one for the record books—and, with several young athletes making a big impact, it’s just the beginning.

The lacrosse team finished its season with a 3–6 record but sent Ali Peyton ’18 to the Women’s National Tournament as a member of the NorCal team of US Lacrosse. Susanna Wilcox, a former member of the Wales Women’s Lacrosse team and a former coach at DePauw University, joined the coaching staff .

The softball team finished second in the Mission Trail Athletic League (MTAL), advancing to the Central Coast Section (CCS) playoffs for the 11th consecutive year. Two freshmen led the way: Abby Gunter knocked 10 balls out of the park this season, smashing the freshman home run record of seven set by Annie Aldrete ’13 in 2010; and freshman standout Jessica Clements had 50 hits on the season. Under the tutelage of former Catalina softball star Alex Pingree ’12, who took over as coach this year, the Cougars finished the season 17–7 overall and 12–2 in league.

The swimming and diving team placed second in the MTAL and sent freshman Claire Sullivan to the CCS Championships, where she swam personal records in both the 200- and 500-yard freestyle events. Sullivan also broke her own school record in the 500, besting her previous mark by 2.45 seconds (5:16.93).

Track and field won its fifth consecutive MTAL title and produced its first CCS champions since 1989: Mikayla Revera ’17 in the 400-meter race (56.53 seconds) and Laurel Wong ’19 (13 feet) in the pole vault. Both athletes had incredible years. Wong set personal, school, and Monterey County records when she cleared 13 feet, 2 inches in the pole vault at the Arcadia Invitational. At one point, she was ranked third in the state and 11th in the nation. Revera, who earned a track scholarship to Sacramento State, finished first in the MTAL in the 100-, 200-, and 400-meter races. Wong and Revera were also part of Catalina’s 4x100 relay team (with Avery Blanco ’18 and Barbara Avalos ’17), which set a meet record of 50.2 seconds at the MTAL Championships.

The lacrosse team finished with a 3-6 record.

CCS champion Laurel Wong ’19 set records when she cleared 13 feet, 2 inches in the pole vault.

THE PATH

TO Health Wellness &

By Sister Christine

Santa Catalina’s vision for health and wellness is the formation of a comprehensive program providing our students with information and skills. Its purpose is to enhance existing student services, to further enable individuals to make sound decisions and choices for their own health and well-being, and to assume active responsibility for balance in their physical, intellectual, and spiritual lives. Proper staff and programmatic outlines are essential. A year ago, with all of this clearly in mind, planning began.

A committee of administrators and Board members gathered information from a range of sources. Initial discussions ensued. Early on, Liz Hulme, then a member of the Board of Trustees, acquainted us with her experience at Duke Integrative Medicine, with whom we appeared to share much in common. As conversations continued, we and Duke Integrative Medicine established an encouraging and very helpful relationship.

In February, a three-member team from Duke Integrative Medicine visited Santa Catalina. They conducted a thorough two-day survey of students, faculty, parents, board members, and alumni to assess broad health and wellness aspects of our community in general and of our current programs in particular. In April, the Duke team returned to present a detailed report. Their findings indicated clearly that our community, younger and older, saw the need for the very goals that we

had envisioned. Duke cited three primary areas of focus among those surveyed. These were stress, mental health, and relationships/communication. They quoted our community as follows:

“We would like a cohesive health and wellness program to nurture empowered, self-confident and intelligent young women who not only meet high academic standards but achieve the balance that

is integral as they develop into healthy, confident, resilient adults.” And…“We want an integrative program that addresses the physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual aspects of health and wellness to create a solid foundation of healthy habits.” It is clear that we are all on the same path.

Our first step in moving forward is with staff. We are pleased to tell you that, following upon her year of work and

Endowment for Health

planning with Santa Catalina, Liz Hulme joins us as our new Director of Health and Wellness. Mother of Betsy ’14 and member of the Board of Trustees from 2011 to 2017, Liz is a familiar face to school. She was an active member of the Santa Catalina Parent Association, and, during her time on the Board, served on the Upper School education committee and the finance committee. Last May Liz stepped off the Board to assume her position with health and wellness, and her expressed wish to “preserve the essence of Santa Catalina” is a conviction that she lives every day. Beyond school, Liz was most recently the founder of The Integrative Path, a health coaching practice based in Pebble Beach. Prior to that, she was a corporate banking officer in the greater Los Angeles area. Liz holds an MBA from the University of Southern California and an AB from Duke University in history and political science. She is certified as an integrative health coach from Duke Integrative Medicine. We are very happy to welcome Liz as the founding director of our new health and wellness program.

The next steps in this exciting initiative include the establishment of a health and wellness committee with whom Liz will work to accomplish our goals. As this Bulletin goes to press, the formation of that committee nears completion. Watch for more details about this on our website. Together, we will determine a pool of local resources available to assist us and we will identify times in the schedule to be used for varying educational and experiential

learning opportunities. Moreover, in this first phase, we will plan and begin to implement additional professional development and training for faculty. Longer-term goals include a general health education curriculum for grades 9-12, a review of our physical fitness and exercise options, and an analysis of stress and its management at school and beyond.

Finally, before they returned to Durham, the Duke team told us, “Resoundingly, all participants mentioned the supportive and caring environment at Santa Catalina.” They praised the quality and persons of our students and our faculty. It is within this environment that health and wellness resides.

None of these efforts would be possible without the outpouring of confidence from

We want an integrative program that addresses the physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual aspects of health and wellness to create a solid foundation of healthy habits.

parents, friends, and alumnae/i. We are grateful for such immediate, heartfelt, and generous support that has enabled us to move forward with this essential work.

Health & Wellness Vision Statement

Sister Christine taught English at Santa Catalina, and served as Director of Alumnae, Director of Admission, Director of Summer Programs, Dean of Students, Assistant Head of Upper School, and Assistant Head of School for Administration during her 44-year tenure

The vision for Santa Catalina’s health and wellness initiative is to foster a culture of self-care and balance so that all will aspire to well-being in its fullest and will choose to make it so.

This vision is lived out through awareness of one’s physical, mental, and spiritual life and is cultivated through curiosity and self-discovery, curricular and extra-curricular opportunities, relational community, and personal responsibility.

Sister Christine and Sister Claire discuss progress and future plans with Liz Hulme, the first director of Santa Catalina’s health and wellness program.

RESPONSIBLE PURPOSE Toward

James Rucker ’83 LS is somewhat surprised that he followed in his mother’s footsteps. Helen Rucker was, and continues to be, a prominent community activist on the Monterey Peninsula. Now here’s Rucker, a former Silicon Valley software guy, fighting for social justice causes across the country.

As he explains, it wasn’t as if his mother had advised him to become an activist when he grew up: “It was just by way of example. She was very involved in issues of education and opportunity, so I was kind of tagging along, going to these conferences about equity in education, but I wasn’t in training. I just saw this stuff; it was just what was happening with my mother. But it definitely informed me in ways I wasn’t aware of, and how I came to engage in politics and social change.”

Rucker was an early organizer at MoveOn.org and continues to serve on its board. He cofounded Color of Change, an online activist organization that he has described as a “black MoveOn,” and the Citizen Engagement Laboratory, which partners with people and projects working to advance a range of social causes. About a year and a half ago, he started a new company called Springboard Partners that’s part startup incubator and part activism advisor.

Rucker’s work is emblematic of what Santa Catalina fosters in its students today: a devotion to service and a sense of responsible purpose. Rucker says that, although this mission was less formalized when he was in school, he was always driven by a set of values, and the education he received here laid the foundation for all that would follow.

“I would say my early academic experience prepared me to be at Stevenson School, which prepared me to be at Stanford, which prepared me for all the things I’ve done,” he says.

That’s what his parents were banking on. Both of them worked in local public schools, his mother as a librarian and his father as a high school guidance counselor. “When I was growing up, their whole thing was that a good education is what you need to get you on the right course in life,” says Rucker, who attended Catalina from prekindergarten to grade 8. “We lived in Seaside, we weren’t poor, we weren’t rich, but they had prioritized

I’m wanting a different reality than the one we have, and getting people to a place of feeling empowered enough to effect change.

education.” Rucker says he remembers his mother, the public education activist, talking about the grief she got for sending him to Catalina. “People would tell her, ‘You say you’re about everyone having access to good schools, but you’re sending your kid to this private school.’ And her thing was, ‘Yeah, I want to make these schools better, but I’m going to send my kid to the best school I can find.’ I think that was the reason I was at Catalina.”

At Stanford University, Rucker was in the symbolic systems program, which broadly involves the study of language and information. His center of interest was human and machine learning, as well as artificial intelligence. “Basically there’s a big focus on how people make meaning, how people feel connection with others, and there’s this whole layer of using technology to facilitate that.”

He launched a couple of startups after graduation, including one that created technology to make recommendations based on people’s behavior. The application was primarily intended for businesses, but he had a dream of tweaking it to serve a broader

purpose within communities. “We had this kind of social mission to the technology, and our dream was to make money on the commercial application and then give this other thing away that will empower communities, that will serve to lift up folks who’ve been marginalized.” Around this time, he met MoveOn co-founder Wes Boyd, and Rucker was intrigued by the organization’s ability to galvanize people to move from the sidelines of political change to the center of it. He joined the group in 2003, thus beginning his second act as an online organizer.

In the years since, Rucker’s guiding principle has been to give everyone a fair chance. In the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina in 2005, he applied the lessons he learned at MoveOn to launch a new venture encouraging black Americans to have a stronger political voice: Color of Change, which he co-founded with human rights attorney Van Jones. (He stepped away from a leadership role in 2011 but continues to serve on its board.) He co-founded the Citizen Engagement Lab because his concerns weren’t limited to the black community, but extended to lowincome, Latino, immigrant, and LGBTQ

communities. He is also on the board of the Southern Poverty Law Center. “Each of those organizations in this particular moment have, I think, a greater responsibility, in some sense more opportunity, to be effective,” he comments.

Rucker’s biggest role now is as a strategist, providing behind-the-scenes direction for a range of campaigns across the country. Some of his handiwork can be seen in efforts to protect net neutrality and to take down the Confederate flag at the state capitol in South Carolina. Currently, his company, Springboard Partners, is working on a program to create greater accountability on the part of police, whether that’s going after police unions or getting involved in the campaign of a civil rights lawyer in a district attorney’s race in Philadelphia. In the course of his work, he can advise small local groups on the ground, large national organizations, and everything in between. Whatever the issue, Springboard’s aim is to advance the cause without taking any of the credit. “My company is not something people would know about, and that’s by design,” Rucker says.

To Rucker, his work is not about giving a voice to the voiceless, but in giving the voiceless the tools to speak up. “We have a democracy, which in theory enables everyone to have a voice, but that’s not reality,” he says. “I’m wanting a different reality than the one we have, and getting people to a place of feeling empowered enough to effect change.”

It’s All About

the Relationships

When Priya Kumar Raju ’00, ’96 LS sits across from a client in her New York office at Goldman Sachs, she does what any good investment advisor does: learns the client’s goals and tolerance for risk, and devises a strategy to help the client reach his or her goals. All of that is important, especially to the people who are putting their financial futures in her hands. But for Raju, the real meat of the job is not in the calculations but in the connections. “What I love most about my job is developing relationships,” she says. “It’s always fascinating meeting with entrepreneurs who have built their companies from the ground up and developing a trusting relationship with them through the years.”

It’s not surprising that this is what Raju treasures. Relationships have provided her with meaning and direction throughout her life, from the enduring friendships she fostered at Santa Catalina, to the mentors who guided her down her career path, to the support network that keeps her balanced. One way she’s been able to express the value she finds in these connections is by strengthening her own connection with Catalina. She returned last spring to offer career advice to students during Journey Day, is the chair of New York’s alumnae chapter, and this fall joined the alumnae board.

“I think it’s really easy to forget all the intangible qualities that I got out of Catalina,” she says about why she stays

involved. “Beyond the strong academic life and sports programs, the friendships I built with my classmates and with faculty members was the most authentic part about Catalina. It is unique to go through middle and upper school with such a strong sense of community at such a young age.”

The Kumar family came onto the Catalina scene in 1992, first with the arrival of Seema Kumar Patel ’96 as a freshman and a year later with younger sister Priya as a sixthgrader. They commuted from Santa Cruz almost every day, but on the nights when high-schooler Priya didn’t make the drive back north on Highway 1, she found readymade homes with her local and boarding buddies. “Friends became like family,” she

Internships are the best way to learn about what you love and what you absolutely can’t stand.

says. “Some of my closest friends today are still the friends that I met in Study Hall freshman year.”

In between Jamba Juice and bagel runs to Alvarado Street, Priya played lacrosse, participated in student senate, and gave back to the Lower and Middle School by tutoring students in math. Knowing “pretty quickly” she wanted to do something in finance—and bucking a family trend toward the medical profession—she headed to Cornell University to study business.

Her first job as a teller at Wells Fargo, when she was 18, sparked her interest in finance,

but she still needed to discover her focus in such a broad industry. “It took a few different experiences to solidify my passion for investment management,” she says. “I benefited from some fabulous mentors along the way. During my first summer internship in investment banking, I developed a strong relationship with a senior banker who was a Cornell alumna, and she helped me think critically about my five-year plan. This mentor also made sure I was getting exposure to the right types of transactions and networking opportunities. Internships are the best way to learn about what you love and what you absolutely can’t stand.”

And so after graduating from Cornell and working at Bank of America and Merrill Lynch—jobs Raju considered valuable in terms of building her technical skills—she enrolled in graduate school at the Kellogg School of Management to get started on her career. She is now a vice president of private wealth management at Goldman Sachs, where she leads a team of investment advisors who work with highnet worth families and tax-exempt organizations.

Though she works in a male-dominated industry, she has found Goldman Sachs to be a fair workplace that promotes from within based not on gender but on merit and hard work. Her real challenges lie in that everelusive work-life balance—especially as the mother of a toddler. “I honestly didn’t fully grasp what the word ‘challenges’ meant until having a small child,” she says. “There is really no perfect balance, and the pendulum is constantly swinging between my dedication to building my business within private wealth and my dedication to my growing family. While I have not overcome this challenge yet, I have surrounded myself with amazing friends, family—including a super-supportive husband—and other inspiring mamas who encourage me to continue to push forward and not focus so much on the days when balance has gone out the window.”

She also has her time at Catalina to guide her. “Everyone in my class, including myself, was balancing multiple activities, jobs, leadership roles, and a rigorous academic schedule while still having fun,” she says. “I didn’t really think about how it all got done, but just did it.”

Beyond the strong academic life and sports programs, the friendships I built with my classmates and with faculty members was the most authentic part about Catalina.

LEARNING TO SPEAK THE VISUAL

In September, Meaghan Looram Mulcahy ’92, deputy photo editor at The New York Times , curated a photography exhibit in a shipping container. The occasion was Photoville, an annual festival beneath the Brooklyn Bridge that repurposes more than 50 containers into photo galleries. The Times exhibit featured the work of staff photographer Josh Haner, whose stills and drone footage capture the life-altering effects of climate change. Haner’s work was explored further in a nighttime projection and discussion of The Times ’ most visually powerful stories of the year, a presentation that Mulcahy produced and moderated.

Above: On July 14, 2014, Mulcahy presents photographs to senior editors at The New York Times.

The festival gave Mulcahy a chance to step outside of the fast-paced daily machinations of the newsroom and engage with the work of Times photographers in a completely different setting. “It’s fun and rewarding for me, and nice to be able to physically stand with people as they experience the photography,” she says.

And photography is an experience. Images have the power to transport us into the lives of others, or to a particular time and place. The best ones may even change the course of world events. “That’s one of the things that makes working in journalism feel very rewarding,” Mulcahy says. “I think all journalism that’s well made has the potential to change people’s minds, their behavior, or policy. Visual journalism is particularly effective because it’s a universal language. It’s kind of an Esperanto.”

Photograph by Andrew Renneisen for The New York Times

Mulcahy joined The New York Times in 2005 after spending seven years as the assistant picture editor at Fortune Magazine. For the past several years, she has helped manage The Times photo department, 42 photo editors strong. That means that as she sees to the changing needs of her staff, she’s also staying on top of global events and coverage, and often helping decide which photos end up on the front page.

Most of her time is spent overseeing these areas, but when she’s down in the trenches as a photo editor, the process generally goes like this: First she decides how best to illustrate a story—are portraits the way to go, or is it better to use photos of the subject in action? Then she assigns a photographer whose stylistic or personal skills are the best fit. She may handle the logistics for the photographer, such as scouting locations, arranging credentials, or finalizing travel plans and safety measures for assignments like those in the aftermath of a hurricane. Finally, after the photos come in, she identifies the best shots

for publication and works with designers and editors on how to present them—whether as a single image in print or a photo gallery online, for example.

“I love that my job involves so many different kinds of tasks, from assigning photography to ironing out editors’ schedules to planning awards night coverage,”she says. “No two days are alike.”

In intangible ways, Santa Catalina prepared her for all of it.

Mulcahy grew up in Pacific Grove as the youngest of five children in a military family that had moved frequently before she came along. (The five siblings, including sister Mary Looram Moslander ’84, were born in different states.) At Catalina, she found a community that empowered her to pursue a range of interests, from student government, to school newspaper, to athletics, to dance and musical theater. “I know I didn’t excel in every area, but I was never discouraged from that exploration,” she says. “It was a

safe space to try new things in a completely positive and constructive environment.”

She studied photography at Stanford University but soon discovered she was more of a “facilitator of photography than a perpetrator of it.” Mulcahy explains: “While I enjoyed the creative process of shooting, I was equally as interested in talking about and studying photography, and in thinking about what it means to communicate visually. I didn’t really know that photo editing existed as a line of work, but when I discovered it, it felt like a perfect fit for me.”

So, too, was journalism. When asked whether she had any particularly influential teachers at Catalina, she offered up history teacher Broeck Oder. “He taught me to be curious and critical minded and questioning, to be rigorous about facts but also to see humor in the world”—all qualities that are in journalists’ DNA. The profession also feeds the perpetual student in her. “I often say that working in journalism, and particularly at

The New York Times, feels like being enrolled in some type of continuing education course,” she remarks. “I learn so many new things each day about the world, and I get to learn them first-hand from some of the smartest, best-informed, and most curious journalists out there.”

Newspapers’ shift to a digital-first world over the past decade has changed the game for photographers and photo editors, who have had to learn to work faster and become more versatile. One perfect image is no longer enough; photographers now must compose fully realized photo essays or shoot video, and photo editors have to think about how

images will look not only in print, but on small screens and in social media feeds. As Mulcahy sees it, “It means there is much more real estate for photography, which is wonderful, but it also means that the demands on our photographers and editors are much more extreme.”

Her staff is lucky to have her on their side. “For me, it’s really important to contribute to a working environment that feels supportive and humane, especially [because] our jobs tend to be very stressful, pressure filled, and deadline oriented,” she says of the management side of her job. That type of outlook is reflected in the lessons she learned

from another influential teacher at Catalina, former dance instructor Susan Cable. Mulcahy notes that Cable’s “buoyancy and brightness and optimism left a very lasting impression on me.”

There’s a lot about Catalina that lingers within Mulcahy. She hopes that other students take these matters of character with them as well. “A big part of my growth during my time at Catalina had to do with gaining self-confidence and learning to express myself thoughtfully and assertively,” she says. Current students are learning how to think, speak, and write critically, but “they are also fortunate enough to be learning the value of empathy, altruism, gratitude, and generosity.” These qualities, Mulcahy points out, “will serve students well in any future pursuits,” even if a “specific life or vocational path may not yet be crystal clear.”

AT THE NEXUS OF Art and the Environment

“Just me and the guys!” Karen Johnson Hixon ’69 quips as she recalls being the second woman to receive the Harvey Weil Sportsman of the Year award, an honor bestowed upon conservationists in her home state of Texas. She’s also the only woman to have been named Texas Outdoorsman of the Year, a separate award offered by the Texas Wildlife Association. “In fact, I had to speak up after getting emails from the head of the organization addressing the award recipients as ‘gentlemen,’” she laughs. “He changed his email greeting, but now refers to me as Sam!”

Hixon’s retelling of the story reveals—as she describes it—a “go with the flow” nature that characterized her life as a boarding student at Santa Catalina. However, those familiar with her work call her “a force of nature.” “When she’s passionate about something, watch out, because it’s going to happen,” says Jeff Wiegel from The Nature Conservancy of Texas, where Hixon served on the board of directors.

In April 2017, Hixon earned the prestigious Terry Hershey Award from the Texas Audubon Society, an award recognizing outstanding leadership in conservation. Notable among her accomplishments was her six-year term on the Texas Parks and Wildlife Commission. Hixon has also served on the board of directors for the Texas Parks and Wildlife Foundation and currently serves on the boards of the Peregrine Fund and the Texas Agricultural Land Trust Foundation.

Among Hixon’s proudest accomplishments is her participation in a consortium of public and private entities that raised $20 million to prevent development of crucial habitat around Bracken Bat Cave near San Antonio. Bracken, a maternal bat cave, is the largest collection of mammals in the world. It is the home of 15 million bats that consume 250,000 lbs. of insects each night. Recently, a threat emerged when developers proposed building 3,600 homes on 1,500 acres directly in line with the bats’ nightly flight path. “It would have been a disaster,” says Hixon.

When not outdoors, Hixon is likely found in her other sanctuary: the art museum. She has served on the board of The San Antonio Museum of Art for 20 years including seven years as the chair. In 2013, after the death of her mother Ruth Carter Stevenson, Hixon became president of the board of The Amon Carter Museum of American Art in Fort Worth. Opened in 1961, the museum now houses one of the finest collections of American art in the country, a testament to Mrs. Stevenson. Under Hixon’s leadership, the Amon Carter Museum acquired one of its most significant works of art, The Fisherman (1917) by American artist George Bellows (1882-1925). The painting is well known for its depiction of a man’s relationship with the natural world. She is also working with the museum to expand its community and educational offerings, an effort that was recently buoyed by an unprecedented gift of $20 million for the museum’s endowment from the Walton Family Foundation made in honor of Mrs. Stevenson.

Hixon gives credit to Santa Catalina for providing “the grounding” and the leadership experience she needed to succeed as a conservationist and philanthropist. “The all-girls environment was really important,” she says. “We had access to all the leadership positions at school, so I had a lot more opportunities to lead than I would have in a co-ed environment.” She was also greatly influenced by English teacher Sister Aaron, who challenged Hixon to become more comfortable with ambiguity despite, by her own admission, having “a very black-andwhite mind.”

Santa Catalina benefitted from Hixon’s leadership experience when she joined the board of trustees in 1990, where she served on a number of committees, including the finance committee with Sister Claire. “Karen was thoughtful, caring, and generous as a trustee,” says Sister Claire, “and I now consider her a good friend. I am grateful for the time we had together and for all she has done to support the school since then. Karen maintains many philanthropic commitments. Recognizing this, we are all the more grateful for her ongoing loyalty to Santa Catalina.”

During Hixon’s tenure on the board, Santa Catalina’s endowment grew from $1 million to over $20 million, launching the school’s most ambitious scholarship program and enabling competitive compensation for faculty.

As Hixon looks to the future of schools and to philanthropy, she emphasizes the importance of education. “Education will always matter, and it’s particularly important

to the current generation of young people. A key to a school’s success is alumnae who remain interested in the school and who give back to ensure that the quality of education remains the same as it was when they were there.”

In thinking about her grandchildren’s future, Hixon recalls the life experiences that informed her own passions and eventually became the focus of her work: “Growing up, art was always around. I lived it,” says Hixon. “Conservation became a way of life when I married Tim Hixon 42 years ago, and

he introduced me to a whole world I knew little or nothing about.” In working for the arts and the environment, Hixon sees an opportunity to serve the greater good and the generations of young people who will benefit from these resources. “We have to get kids into these environments so that they enjoy and understand them,” she says. “Then they will want to take care of them.”

On Leadership

A CONVERSATION WITH MARGI BOGART POWER ’86

Known for her ability to take the lead for causes she believes in, alumna Margi Bogart Power ’86 hardly describes herself as “born to lead.” Yet, lead she does, with passion and purpose. Power is a Hillsborough City School District board member, National Charity League chapter president, and program director of a multicity Leadership program, and she has a long résumé of leadership positions and accomplishments. We asked Power to shed some light on her path to leadership and how she nurtures leadership skills in others.

Q: TELL US ABOUT YOUR EARLY YEARS. HOW DID YOU FIND YOUR WAY TO SANTA CATALINA?

A: I grew up in San Francisco, the younger of two children. Santa Catalina was known as an outstanding school, and I knew several girls who were attending. Just two hours from home, I felt comfortable going to school in Monterey. And the timing was perfect; at

this point my father’s business required my parents to travel quite a bit. Santa Catalina provided a safe haven and the opportunities for growth that my parents and I were seeking.

Q: WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT YOUR TIME AT SANTA CATALINA, WHAT STANDS OUT?

A: Certain values were instilled in me there. The importance of community service—making a commitment and having impact on others’ lives—was a very strong value that has stayed with me all my life. I grew up in a bit of a bubble. I came to embrace the observation “for those to whom much is given, much is required.” That’s a big piece for me.

As a freshman, I made an effort to look for leadership opportunities, and I dove into Student Council. I distinctly remember looking at the girls involved in student government and seeing myself in their shoes. I stayed involved each year and eventually was elected as co-student body president. I was, however, a bundle of nerves. Being in leadership positions was not entirely in my comfort zone, but I wanted so much to make a contribution that I pushed myself. At Santa Catalina I had the opportunity to stretch myself and to feel safe pursuing new activities.

Q: AND AFTER SANTA CATALINA?

A: I attended Bowdoin College in Maine. After earning my B.A., I took a teaching position with the newly chartered Teach for America (TFA). At the time, TFA was establishing chapters in colleges across the country, and I

was recruited to apply. I was assigned to a school in inner city Los Angeles. The Rodney King riots occurred during my second year. That event was a real

eye-opener, an experience that taught me there are often different perspectives to be considered in any given situation. I then attended the Stanford Graduate School of Education. I made education a priority early on and have been active in education and leadership development in one way or another ever since.

Q: YOUR COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT AND EXPERIENCE ARE EXTENSIVE. WHAT MOTIVATES YOU TO DEDICATE YOUR TIME TO CERTAIN ORGANIZATIONS AND INITIATIVES?

A: A key motivator is that the outstanding education I received was very different from what many students

experience in the public school system. I want to effect change in this regard. It takes strong leadership skills to produce change. Some years ago I joined Junior League and received great training in strategic planning. I got involved at the county school board level with the goal to influence initiatives around public education. I participated in the Teach for America Summit and continue to be involved with National Charity League, of which one of the pillars is leadership training. I’ve pushed myself to hone my skills. I’m a graduate of the Leadership program, for which I am now the director. Designed to educate, nurture, and connect existing and potential community leaders, the Leadership program is a joint effort of San Mateo, Burlingame, Foster City, and Hillsborough. It is a perfect combination of everything I’m interested in. We just received funding from all four cities. We are on the road to capacity building and are ready to take the program to the next level with an eye toward becoming an incubator for countywide leadership.

Q: YOUR FATHER, JACK BOGART, WAS A SANTA CATALINA BOARD MEMBER FOR 10 YEARS. WAS HE YOUR ROLE MODEL?

A: Absolutely. He believed in leaving an organization better than you found it. Upon retirement, he became a leader in raising money and art donations for the San Francisco Asian Art Museum. He believed in getting involved in our communities and paying it forward, and he left a lasting legacy. I’m grateful for the example he set, and for the extraordinary education he made possible for me at Santa Catalina.

I came to embrace the observation ‘for those to whom much is given, much is required.’

That’s a big piece for me.

Inspired by Reunion

At the end of Reunion Weekend, the classmates reached out to Erin White in the Development Office to explore ways to commemorate their class on campus. In learning about the school’s Legacy Campaign, a $50 million campaign for facilities and endowment, they worked with White to envision a scholarship named for their class. “What better way for the legacy of the Class of ’61 to live on than through talented, deserving students who will benefit from the same education that we had? It gives me goosebumps just to think about it,” says Fargo.

Inspired by their 55th reunion, alumnae from the Class of 1961 established a scholarship to support a boarding student through four years at Santa Catalina. Their goal is $700,000, and they have raised $395,725 to date—the majority of which came within weeks of the project’s announcement. Members of the class offered a wide range of contributions, including five-year pledges and gifts made through wills and trusts. Because the scholarship is an endowment fund, interest from the investment will provide funding annually and in perpetuity. Therefore, once funded, Santa Catalina will always have a “Class of ’61 Scholar” enrolled at the school.

Classmates Sara Fargo ’61, Nini Richardson Hart ’61, Mary-Allen Macneil ’61, and Lissa Gahagan Nicolaus ’61 attended the 55th reunion and came up with the idea. “As we walked the grounds of Santa Catalina’s beautiful campus, nostalgia hit: memories, friendships, youth, a very special time in our lives,” recalls Fargo. “That’s when we got the idea to create a legacy for our class at the school.” Nicolaus adds, “Reunion gave us the opportunity to catch up with each other, reminisce about teachers, classmates, and dorm life. As we glanced around Study Hall, we couldn’t believe that we saw the same desks that we had 55 years ago!”

Hart, a major catalyst to the project, immediately committed a lead gift. “I had already provided for Santa Catalina in my will, and the Class of ’61 endowment was the perfect place for my gift. Bequests make it easier to make that kind of commitment,” says Hart. With Hart on board, Nicolaus and Fargo joined in to craft an email to their class to assess interest in the project.

The response was overwhelming: In just a few weeks, they had raised $376,000 toward their goal. Judi Musto Hachman ’61 was among the first to pledge support, offering a multiyear pledge combined with an estate gift. Hachman noted, “It took a bit of work, but Santa Catalina taught me core values, the most important of which is personal

responsibility. For this and many other things, I’m grateful.” Macneil also jumped in with a five-year pledge, and others followed suit. At the following Reunion—just one year after the idea had launched—Head of School Meg Bradley was thrilled to announce the Class of 1961’s success.

The Class of ’61 scholarship endowment currently stands at $395,725, with close to 80 percent of that amount pledged through wills and trusts. To date, eight members of the class have pledged. “We’re really looking for participation so that all of us have a hand in shepherding a student through Santa Catalina. The range of gifts has been anywhere from $25 to larger commitments made over time,” says Fargo. Nicolaus, Hart,

and Fargo have all committed to reaching out to their classmates by phone and in person to encourage support. They hope to meet their goal by 2019, the final year for the Legacy Campaign.

This school year, 40 percent of Upper School students receive tuition assistance, and the average award for a boarding student is $30,167. With a goal of $700,000 for an endowment fund, the Class of ’61 would provide funds to cover one average award every year. “I couldn’t be more excited about this project,” says Hart. “I am proud to have had four years of exceptional education and friendship at Santa Catalina, and now we can provide the same opportunities for other qualified young women.”

The Class of 1961 welcomes family and friends to join them in making a contribution to the Class of ’61 scholarship endowment. Please contact Erin White at erin.white@santacatalina.org or call 831.655.9388 to discuss a gift, or mail a gift directly to Santa Catalina School and note “Class of ’61 Scholarship.”

If you are an alumna and are interested in pursuing a similar opportunity for your class, please contact a member of the Development Office at 831.655.9379.

Gloria Felice gloriafelice@cox.net

Ardis Dickerson Brookins says she had a wonderful cruise with her daughter, Kathy, to Alaska with exciting offshore canoeing trips. She is visiting Kathy and the grandkids in Pleasanton this fall for a nice family reunion. She visits with her sister, Diane Dickerson ’57, who is doing great as well. Pat Bondesen Smith is continuing to enjoy her interior design projects and extended fields of design, most recently focusing on her landscaping and adding more zen elements. She has also been enjoying swimming and looks forward to some golf outings. Jeanne Nielson Marshal tripped off of a curb and had to have surgery. She will be in the hospital for a few days with physical therapy thereafter. Her son, Matt, said that she is OK and that all of the kids are helping out. Sister Lois Silva writes a glowing report of her new move to San Rafael to live with the sisters at Lourdes Convent. “It’s a joy to be with Sister Jeremy and to see Sue Crane, who comes to mass with us weekly. There are 27 of us here in the convent keeping active, praying, and studying the needs of our world. I especially keep in mind all of our Santa Catalina alums. This month I joined our last class at 80 years of age! On July 1, I will join the sisters here to celebrate

the 60th Jubilee of our Dominican congregation. I send special congratulations to the Distinguished Alumnae Award recipients with special regards to all of my classmates.” Gloria Felice: Randy and I are doing great here in Scottsdale, AZ. We are celebrating our 35th anniversary in October! I will be going to Ibiza in September for the wedding of my son, John. My sister, Mary, and niece Joyia Felice ’67 are also going. Then we go on to Florence for a week to be in our fave city in the world! Our dear daughter, Gina Jansheski ’77, is doing a four-month locum in Clear Lake, and will then head back to Rishikesh in India to continue her pediatric medical missionary work.

Jane Howard Goodfellow: This has been a difficult time for me. I am still reeling from losing my husband, Bob, last October on our fifth anniversary; he died of cancer. My sister, Elinor Howard Franchetti ’54, died a month before Bob and it’s been too much! My daughter, Joan Goodfellow Knetemann ’80, came to help me the last two weeks of Bob’s life. She was amazing and I couldn’t have done it without her. She and I are going to meet in Iceland for three days and we’re taking a 2-week cruise of the Baltics. I keep busy being on the Pomona Valley Hospital board and the Mt. San Antonio Gardens board. Kit Bedford: I have just retired as a trustee for the board at Santa Catalina, completing 10 very special years under the exceptional leadership of Chair Nonie Bechtel Ramsay ’71. I feel so fortunate to have had a front row seat to the extraordinary progress made during these last decades. The physical campus has filled out in thoughtful and exciting ways with great additions to the Lower School; new programs including a very special and concentrated one in marine science; the much-appreciated and celebrated Sister Claire and Sister Christine Math and Science Center; and the Read House, a new head of school house for Meg Bradley and her family. Many generous alumnae are offering their talents and the Bulletin profiles some, but you would really be pleased to know just how many reach out with special effort. Peter and I are fine and still traveling abroad but slowing down and focusing more on domestic travel and discovery. Our last big trip found us in the Rhone

area of France, followed by a very special visit to Switzerland and the area in which I lived the year before coming to Catalina in 1954! Our nest is now filled with grandchildren—some with whom we have wonderful conversations and others with whom we have the best time watching build forts, clamber up trees, grow things, discover, and explore continuously.

Karen Swanson Crummey kcrum1@sbcglobal.net

Karen Swanson Crummey: Fred and I are blessed to have good health and our family nearby. Our daughter, Lisa, is a nurse at the Community Hospital of the Monterey Peninsula. Brian and family are living outside of Salinas. Grace (15) raises pigs for 4-H and had the grand champion pig at the Salinas Valley Fair in 2016 and was MVP of the JV water polo team this year. She just returned from a 10-day trip to Kenya. Cobin graduated from eighth grade and is learning to play golf. I am involved with two homeless women groups and Delta Kappa Gamma International, a professional honor society for women educators. I just completed four years on the California

State Leadership Team. We both volunteer at the Carmel Foundation and are active in the local Begonia Society branch. I joined Mimi Doud Detels and Mary Harrington Trotter for dinner in Carmel. Mimi’s highlights included her trip to China to attend a grand ceremony where Roger was honored by the Chinese Vice-Premier for his work in educating public health professionals. The event took place in the Great Hall of the People. Another highlight was watching Mary wield real power as chair of the Planning Commission’s advisory group for Big Sur. Mary also survived the raging 2016 fire season and the drenching winter, with slides and flooding in Big Sur, and still has her great sense of humor. Joan Stafford Haynes: I’m having a great time planning our 75th birthday weekend with the help of Kay O’Connell Vernor and Sister Cathryn deBack, O.P. Cathy treated me to the most delicious lunch in her S.F. apartment and then gave me the grand tour of her building. She has really achieved something wonderful in creating Rose Court; it serves as a haven for so many. Kay has moved and is elated with the fact that she has downsized and rid herself of lots of stuff. Joanna Grant Hartigan: The past 12 months have brought sorrow and joy. My sister, Barbara Grant Armor ’62, passed away after a valiant battle with cancer. Barb spent hours with her grandson, attended our son’s wedding, and spent Thanksgiving surrounded by family. Santa Catalina was such an important part of both of our lives. Barbara served for years on the Alumnae Board. I’m still adjusting to retirement but am looking forward to our 75th birthday celebration and the arrival of a grandson in October. Daphne Craig Bertero: We went to China and took a river cruise on the Danube. Grandchildren still loving Santa Catalina. Two of the city grandkids went to summer camp and two are in Lower School in fifth and third grades. Nan Griffin Winter: I’ve been traveling a lot lately. I have been having many skin cancer surgeries on my lips, legs, cheek, and nose. Just got engaged in December—can you believe that? Went to Lima, Peru, and am going to take my family to Cape Cod in June. Lani LeBlanc: I took my first grandson to Costa Rica—much adventuring for him and for me when I got dumped out of the raft while whitewater rafting. He’s off to high school in the fall. I’m taking my second grandson to family camp over Labor Day. Off to a bi-annual visit to my sister, Shelly LeBlanc Duke ’59, in Virginia in May. Julie Perkins Layne: I can’t believe that Art and I have been retired for more than 13 years. We are grateful to have our kids and grandkids nearby. We can gather easily to enjoy holidays, family milestones, and everyday activities. Art continues to deal with symptoms of Parkinson’s. I experienced several falls and a broken wrist and split radius. This led to neck surgery and a fusion of seven discs. While in ICU I had a heart attack and then to a quadruple bypass. I haven’t fallen since. We are looking forward to a fall trip to the Netherlands and France. Suzie Townsend Finney: Jack and I celebrated our 50th anniversary with a trip to the Big Island of Hawaii with our children and grandchildren. In

June, we took our grandson (13) to Costa Rica. We still spend four months a year in Sun Valley. I am still involved with fundraising for Big Brothers, Big Sisters in Orange County. Marilyn Ramos Ospina: My big news is the birth of twin boys to my daughter, Elizabeth Ospina Kortenkamp ’92. We also celebrated our 50th anniversary in Bali with our children and grandchildren. Annette Stoesser: I just had knee surgery a week ago so am housebound for the foreseeable future. I have home physical therapy and a helper to do my shopping. Wendy Miller Lambeth: Our granddaughters, Gabby Lambeth at Marist and Lucy Stowe ’16 at Boston University, made the Dean’s List. We are extremely proud of both of them. Betsy Helm Hansen: We moved from our home of 30 years to the city of Vasalia. Our youngest son bought our home and will live there with his wife and three sons. We attended a celebration of life for Barbara Grant Armor ’62 at their family cabin. Joanna gave a beautiful tribute to her sister. I was pleased to celebrate my birthday with Julie Thomas Obering and Daphne Craig Bertero. Jinx Hack Ring: The highlight of this last year was going to Kenya, where Peter taught in Nairobi. We took a safari in the Masai Mara and saw the “big five” animals and more. My bucket list dream came true by staying at Giraffe Manor, a giraffe rescue center and exquisite manor where you get up close and personal with the giraffes. We were in Bologna, Italy, in March and also went to Schmadling, Austria, where the Winter World Games of Special Olympics were held. Joanne Nix: My life is pretty routine, but interesting. I love all the different nationalities in the Washington area, but don’t like living so close to the anger and rancor of politics. Political news is our local news. Judy Botelho Cain: We visited with our children and grandchildren in Virginia and Maryland this summer. We have three children back east and two in California. We have eight grandkids ranging in age from nine to 29. We’re remodeling my parents’ home, where we now live, and it is more of a challenge than I ever thought possible. Lani LeBlanc and I get together for lunch once in awhile and sometimes Julie Hutcheson ’59 joins us. 61 Penelope

served as Class Correspondent for decades. My appreciation to all of you for responding to my request for contributions. Susie Blair Riley: Pat and I are still running after our eight grandchildren and attending their various activities. Our recent travels have taken us to Egypt, Spain, and to Mexico tarpon fishing. We sold our house in Reno with the intention of downsizing and bought a house around the corner from my son, a mile from where we lived. To keep ourselves busy we are going to walk the Camino de Santiago in September and are spending the time up until then working up to hiking 10 miles a day. Lorrie Boldrick : I am still practicing veterinary medicine out of a mobile truck and my barn. I flunked retirement twice, and now only work two days a week. I truly love my work and all my fabulous patients and their owners. I am the proud grandmother of two beautiful girls (9, 7). My daughter, Allie, lives about an hour from me (with my granddaughters) and is a radiologist. My son, Quin, lives in Idaho and is working to remove radioactive materials from underground up there. I have done lots of traveling and visited New Zealand almost two years ago and plan to go again in another year or so. Mary Carter Marold expressed her gratitude to Barbara’s daughter for bringing them together when Barbara visited her daughter, Jakie Kangas Beard ’89, in Texas. “Our last visit was special—she brought me some California poppy seeds that bloomed beautifully last spring. David and I are alive and kicking. All children and grandchildren (12 to 25) seem to be doing fine.” Peggy Dailey Gatto has lived in Alamo, CA, for 25 years. She says, “Life is good. I keep busy with my art.” Peggy works with mixed media. Nina Davis Gray reports that she and Elisha—after 16 years and with reluctance—sold their farm in New Hampshire last October. Their son married a Californian, whose sister-in-law is Sarah Russell Ceglar ’03. Now they have the pleasure of visiting their three children in Texas, Southern California, and Hawaii. Nina recalled our beloved Barbara as “humorous, kind and

gentle, a girl who made friends with everyone. Sister Isabel trapped both of us to work on the yearbook, and we laughed at how she did it, calling down from the balcony, ‘I’ve been waiting for you.’ Barb embodied the SC spirit.” In July 2015, Patricia Dougherty celebrated her golden jubilee as a Dominican sister along with another alumna, Cathryn deBack ’60. Patty writes, “It was a wonderful day with luncheon, Eucharist, and a party (including Kathy O’Donnell).” Like so many of us, she recounts the strange realization that 50 plus years have passed. “I taught elementary school for 10 years, then earned my Ph.D. at Georgetown, and taught history for 32 years at Dominican; I have lived in San Rafael since 2011. In May 2016, I retired as a professor of history at Dominican University of California. I am still teaching a class or two because I love learning and teaching. In the past year, I have become a ham radio operator to be prepared in case of emergencies. In addition, in June 2017 and for the 21st year, I was part of a team that conducted a 17-day seminar in France on Dominican values for faculty, staff, and students of Dominican institutions of higher education in the U.S. Gail Dowling rides her 21-year-old horse Huey several days a week. In addition, she and Gary run every morning and continue to enjoy good health. “Our son has become a full partner in our [sport shop] business, allowing Gary more time to relax, read and take care of his 29-year-old horse, Chief. Our granddaughter is now an eighth grader and an excellent student. I recently spent a week with my sister, June Dowling Spencer ’54 LS, who moved with her husband to San Antonio, TX, to be near their son and family.” Gail reflected on fond memories of staying in Carmel with Barb and Debby [deBack] during several of our reunions. She noted that Barb always worked expertly behind the scenes of our numerous dramatic and musical presentations, keeping those on stage in the limelight. Kathy Hanks Cooper: I was so sad

to hear about the deaths of Barbara (our dear devoted class cheerleader) and Annie (the heart of our school’s legacy family, and my oldest friend from the time we were 8-year-olds at summer camp, before we were old enough to be there). I feel immense gratitude to be so healthy, happy, and lucky. I’m still living in Piedmont and working, now partnering with my son, Jack, in real estate. All three of my children are close and fill my life with joy in different ways. Molly is raising two grandchildren and Kieran has achieved a degree of self-sufficiency in her group home which comforts me for her future. It’s good to look back at our four years together now and then, for they seem like a chapter in “Weenie’s” ancient history class now.

Sandy Hollenbeck Schneider shared the sad news of her husband passing in June. “The last two years brought key life lessons to the forefront. I am living much more in the moment with a deeper understanding of the power of love and community. My husband and I were very close but I grew to appreciate the importance of my circle of friends and family. It is so easy to take the people in your life and good health for granted.” A happy resident of two beautiful states, Oregon and Hawaii, Bia Osmont Wahl sends best wishes to “our dear Class of ’62! What a wonderful and transforming four years that was!” Having undergone heart surgery last year and neck surgery three months later, Lynnea Larsen Payne reports that she is now fully recovered and doing well. “I am still tutoring students and driving people to doctors and working at a non-denominational church in Dos Palos. My daughter and I took a cruise to Alaska in May. My daughter is getting married in October in San Francisco and plans to honeymoon in Europe after running the Florence marathon in late November. I may yet get to be a grandmother!” Kathy O’Donnell is enjoying retirement in Hollister after four decades in the challenging field of education. She reflects on those 40 years: 15 as a teacher, 21 as a principal, and four as a mentor for beginning teachers enrolled in the Cal State Teach program. “Because I want to give back, I have been the volunteer librarian at my local parish school two days a week for the past eight years. I also serve as president of the Sacred Heart School Foundation and treasurer of my homeowner board of directors. Miss you Buddha, Debbie, and Annie—you are in my thoughts and prayers.” Lander Reeves Hynes reports, “Life is pretty much steady as it goes. Bill and I will have our 32nd anniversary shortly and are still happily living in Tiburon. We are planning a trip on the Danube this October. Our son (30) has joined Chubb Surety in the Bay Area and lives in Walnut Creek. I still volunteer with the S.F. Museums Auxiliary and with ARCS Foundation. I see Talie Bigelow Cutler and Mary Sutro Callender often. Mary and I are in the same book club. I’ve finally taken the plunge and am learning mah-jongg.” Margaret Stewart deserves a special prize for being the sole Class of 1962 representative at the Alumnae Reunion in March. Margi reports that she was treated like royalty with a golf cart and driver provided for her personal use. She noted that her campus visit

highlight was the tour of the new science and math building. In addition, she mentioned, “The members of the Class of 1957 were kind enough to let me join them for all meals, and I also had nice visits with Debby McCann ’59 and Hansi de Petra Rigney ’59.” Margi stays in close touch with our classmate Alex Robison, who lives in Madrid, has two grandchildren, and will soon welcome a third. Hoping that any of you who come to Monterey will get in touch with her, Margi spends time in the warm pool at the Monterey Sports Center doing lots of aerobics. As for me (Mary Foley Bitterman), I continue to enjoy the good work at the Osher Foundation, providing support for higher education and the arts. Never able to put public broadcasting completely aside, I currently chair the PBS Foundation Board and continue serving as a director of Bank of Hawaii. My daughter, Sarah, remains a resident of Rome and I have been taking Italian lessons. Our Santa Catalina Latin classes have proven helpful.

Lorri Ditz McCarthy lorditz@yahoo.com

Anian Pettit Tunney: Two of our daughters and their families are now living in Piedmont, very close to us. Also, four of our grandchildren are here. Daughter, Adrienne Tunney Krumins ’94,

is working as my assistant in real estate at The Grubb Co. in the Oakland/Berkeley area, and it is a lot of fun working together. My husband, Peter, is basically retired and he doesn’t like it much, but he’s coping by doing more cooking and watching “important” games on TV. We are not traveling as much anymore as we love being home near our grandchildren. Sue Pringle Cohan: I’m still so sad about Noel Ferris. To have lost three of our class in one year, really hits home how fragile and fast life is. My life has been incredibly blessed with a husband of 41 years—that I still adore—and two grown children with fabulous families and lives of their own, which my husband and I share in a great deal. We have lived and raised our children in west Sonoma County for 45 years, and love our community here. My husband retired from building, and now in his free time, helps all of our friends remodel their homes. I am an avid yogini, and take and teach classes almost daily. I also am the book launch coordinator for the Occidental Center for the Arts, a full performing and visual arts center in the little hamlet of Occidental. Gardening, hiking, and honing my Spanish are my other passions. Our daughter, Sonja, lives in Truckee with her husband and two wonderful kids (11, 9). Our son, Olin, has lived in Nicaragua since 2001 with his wife, Ofelia, and their two daughters (10, 2). Kenny and I visit a lot, and now son and father have gone into partnership building houses there from re-purposed wood from old haciendas. Chloe O’Gara and I have been enjoying our reunion after so many years apart, sharing our gardens, going for walks, in a writing class together. I am a very lucky girl to have her back in my life! This fall my husband and I head to Southeast Asia for six weeks, long on our bucket list. Kathy Fay: I am still reeling over the loss of Noel. Her passing seemed so fast and sudden. I was out in California briefly when Perry told me Noel had ALS and I hand wrote a letter to her Friday and flew back to Florida. She died that Sunday. It was an unbelievable moment when I hooked up my computer that Monday to learn of her passing. I want to write something but I can’t seem to muster up anything very newsworthy. I love our class and hope to be a better communicator when I return to California later this year. Ann Craig Hanson: I retired in January for the third time, and have been focused on being a grandmother. I have a granddaughter (2), who brings great joy to our lives. We still live in Vermont and are enjoying more time together. John, my husband, turned 80 in April, which makes us both startled as that age seems old! We both feel younger than that. I am thinking about our three classmates that died this year and am so sorry. All three were wonderful women. Cece Cotton Fowler: Donna, Paula, Libby, and Sue made the grand art tour of Texas. Sue had to depart before the Houston stop, which was sad for me but it was a real joy to catch up with the others. I was amazed once again to experience time stopping. It really did seem like only yesterday that Santa Catalina was at the center of our lives, although the years are many and children are grown. Noel’s death only days later seemed

particularly unbelievable. Our daughter and her family live blocks from us in Houston where we have been for 40 years. Our son will marry a darling girl next month in Newport, RI. I’m still volunteering for good causes and sailing/racing whenever I can. Mack and I have decided to try cruising and have just bought a sloop, which we plan to sail in New England. Lyn Belcher Wilson: Our class took a hard hit this year, and that changes our perspective. I wonder about our teachers. How many of them have we lost without even knowing? I personally want to send out a wish to everyone in the Class of 1966. My wish is for happiness, patience, health, and peace to all of you. Please don’t forget the exquisite high we all experienced at graduation. Vicki deBack Lugo: We spent two weeks traveling to eastern Canada last August. We had delicious seafood and the St. Lawrence River is beautiful and there are so many gorgeous lakes! In April, we traveled to Thailand with Chris and Polly. We loved Thailand and the culture—so different from ours and the food was incredible. We went to an elephant sanctuary, many temples, the jungle, and some beautiful islands. We are staying in San Diego to enjoy the beach this summer! Will probably get up to Northern California as we are planning a family get together in August in Walnut Grove. Kathy Lowe has just moved back to CA and is presently living in the San Clemente area. Traci Bliss has co-authored an Images of America book, Santa Cruz’s Seabright. It is a delightful and fun book to have, full of pictures of early days in Santa Cruz and Seabright Beach in particular. It came out in April. She seems eternally busy with writing and hosting family and friends in Santa Cruz. Perry Walker Freeman: To add to the sadness and tragedies of our spring and early summer, I offer a book that has just been published by Simon and Shuster: The Bright Hour by Nina Riggs. The author was a friend of my daughter, Amanda, from preschool and her parents were longtime friends of ours, living here until they returned to Massachusetts and, later, North Carolina. Nina Riggs died three months ago after writing a blog about breast cancer. She submitted a piece to the New York Times’ Modern Love column, which resulted in a book. Please buy it and read it. It is amazing. Lorri Ditz McCarthy: My daughter, Kate, is getting married next April in Austin, TX! Her fiancé is an engineer, working for Elon Musk at SpaceX in Hewitt, TX. She is still at the Texas Ranger Hall of Fame in Waco and very excited to be a bride. My youngest daughter, Megan, is finishing a 12-month undergraduate degree in nursing at Mt. St. Mary’s College in Los Angeles. After her graduation in August, we are going to London for a week. I still love living in S.F. and have my condo in Palm Desert. My four grandchildren are growing up way too quickly, and I feel very fortunate to have wonderful health and a sense of well-being. Sharon Duffy Verhoef: The past year has been one of coming up for air, reconnecting with family and friends, and forging a path forward as I approach the second anniversary of Bryan’s death this November. Highlights included an October road trip with

my sister, Jinkey, from the east end of Long Island to New Hampshire and to Nantucket to visit a nephew and a niece; a visit in March from my brother and his wife; and a visit in April from my niece and her daughter. I’m headed to a great nephew’s wedding in Nantucket and then to Rhode Island and New Jersey to see my three brothers. While in NJ, I look forward to getting into New York City as much as possible to see art and to connect with old friends in the area, including Mary O’Hara Ryan, if she is around. In Florida, I enjoy season tickets at The Orlando Shakespeare Theater and the contemporary art scene here which is emerging and vibrant. I have been going to regular life drawing sessions for about a year to keep my hand in. I plan to do some teaching at the Maitland Art Center in the spring.

In September 2016, 18 of us signed out or simply snuck out of our various campuses and rendezvoused in Asti for an “open weekend” together, luxuriating at Villa Buen Retiro, courtesy of Diane Rossi Andrews and the supreme organizers, Liz Moffitt and Gerry Robertson Working. Swimming, hiking, shopping, singing were among the lesser activities. Primarily cooking, eating, and talking were the order of the days and nights. Annette Lowe Reid won the prize for the farthest traveled, having scheduled her annual return from San Luis Potosí, Mexico just so she could be part of the party. Melissa Lofton: I lost my home and studio of 30 years in the Soberanes Fire on July 23 of last year. We have been able to build a small cabin to live in and are happy to be living back home on the Ridge. We are working tirelessly to clear debris and rebuild the infrastructure, gardens, water systems, and of course, a studio for work. Classmates have been supportive in buying paintings, which has helped enormously and for which I’m grateful. Leelee Clement Doughty is still happily retired since age 50, but busier than ever. She is currently a vice president on the board of trustees of the L.A. County Arboretum, making great strides in

moving it from a county facility to a more privatepublic partnership. Stanford asked her to co-chair a 45th reunion, From Riots to Rose Bowls. She is still involved with Garden Club and is a regional scholarship representative. Leelee also traveled to Cuba, Berlin, Egypt, and Jordan and now probably to visit her children who have all moved out of California. Santa Barbara was the lunch spot for Anne Gray, Kim Royce Dougherty, Eugenie Schlueter, Suzi Woodworth Johnston, Meghan Williams, and Mary Wynne It was a fun lunch with lots of talk about retirement, new knees, Hawaii, kids, grandkids, memories of funny things that happened at school and more. Suzi Woodworth Johnston celebrates that this has been a quiet year for her family and rejoices over the arrival of her fifth grandchild. Terry Durkin Wilkinson’s news is that she had a busy Christmas holiday welcoming two new grandsons into her family. She is now blessed with five grandsons and a granddaughter. All were present with Jack and her on the Texas coast for July 4. Cindy Salisbury is happily camping out in a good rental house in southeast Portland, within 10 minutes of both her sons and their girlfriends, as well as most of the cool restaurants, food trucks, and quirky stores

like sock emporiums and Powell’s Books SE. Jane Gillett waves flags and banners in greetings to all. Leslie Cooley confides that she feels she has zero artistic talent, but has always wanted to learn to draw. In June, she took a weeklong course: Drawing from the Right Side of Your Brain. It was wonderful to dwell in the right brain for five full days. “I will never be an ‘artist,’ but I love drawing and look at things differently now. The challenge is finding time to keep it going.” The bonus was dinner one night with Susie and Sarah Nina Nickel Gladish described how she is earning a spa retreat: a weekend with her grandson (10 months) and his parents, followed by an overnight with her granddaughter (3) and other grandson (1) without their parents, and time with her oldest grandson (6) in a couple of weeks. Nina has a boat trip to the Desolation Sound planned for September and loves thinking about where to explore next! Nina commented, “I loved being with our classmates at the interim reunion at Diane’s and hope to see all of them and all the friends who didn’t make it then at the 50th reunion in March.” Daphne Macneil: Granddaughter Emma (5) is charming and Leo (2) is delightful. Having tea together one May morning in her dining room, Eugenie wondered aloud to me if we could find our junior year Italian classmate, Matlide Gravignolo. After a bit of Facebook research, she connected with Matilde’s brother, who shared the news that Matilde passed away in 1993 after a battle with cancer. He said that Matilde kept pictures and movies of her wonderful experience at Santa Catalina and her time in California. We propose having a memorial Mass said for her at our 50th reunion. Save the date: the weekend of March 24, 2018!

Jennifer Relfe Anderson: I was lucky enough to enjoy the company of our class at the lovely home of Nancy Woolf Roberts and missed so many of you. Over the last few years, I have been focusing on readying my life for retirement and spending time with my children and grandchildren. I am still teaching as a substitute, have remodeled and sold two houses, moved into my dream house for

retirement, and am in the middle of remodeling it. I spent time traveling and cruising to Europe, Asia, and skiing in the United States. I recently enjoyed my first glamping experience in Yosemite and was awestruck by the power of the waterfalls after such a fabulous snowfall this year. I am hoping to continue to ski in new locations in the U.S. and Europe, while continuing to find new travel destinations including the East Coast to visit Catalina friends. Iris Brewster: My life is family centered, with three glorious grandchildren: Sophia (8), Josselyn (4), and Dominic (3). My husband, Tom, has been in declining health for the last 11 years but just celebrated his 70th birthday. We are about to celebrate our 44th anniversary! Maryedith Smith Burrell: Prepping for a couple of lectures in July and August. Packing up and storing things for a sojourn back to California in the fall for six months. Will be finishing up a documentary, Raise Hell: The Life and Times of Molly Ivins, in L.A. and looking to relocate back to Carmel. I will be hosting Cara Coniglio on a southern food tour this summer. A good way to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Monterey Pop Festival—we got into a little trouble together back then! Marie Cantin: For the past year, I’ve been free of my professional commitments (but not retired!) and have spent time catching up on life and taking care of personal and family business. In February I was awarded the 2017 Frank Capra Achievement Award in recognition of my career and service to the Directors Guild of America. I was so happy to share the honor of this event with dear friends, including Suzanne Saunders Shaw. While I contemplate my next move, Michael juggles three careers, which include writing another installment of RoboCop with his partner Ed—30 years after the first film was released. He also teaches at UCSB and creates large format black and white landscape photographs. I feel the lure of freelance motion picture production, so we’ll see what the future holds. Suzanne and I attended the Monterey Pop Festival in June to honor our youth and to prepare for our next chapters! I hope there are more ad hoc reunions like our recent gathering in Santa Cruz. Thank you to Nancy Woolf for hosting, to Susan Woods for wrangling, and to Diana Whitesides for her role as general factotum. It was a fantastic gift to spend time with classmates – a reminder of how much value I derive from sharing such a

diversity of life experiences. Margaret McCarry Cochran: I was so disappointed to miss the Santa Cruz weekend! I was in Georgetown with my daughter, Kate, and her family. My son, Tom, is an artist, has taught several classes at Dartmouth as a visiting professor, and runs his own gallery space in Brooklyn. I am still a docent at an art museum and work a couple of hours a week at a fitness club/ nursing home. I’m also involved with protecting NY’s rail and water from hydrofracking risks for the last 7 years, so I am very interested in water issues, gas extraction, and energy development. Leslie Redlich Cockburn: I’m “testing the waters” to run for Congress in the fifth district of Virginia. To be continued... Joan Pettley Govedare: Our one and only daughter is going to be a music major at the University of Washington. I am reviving my passion for pottery, after taking a year or so off. We continue to live on the tranquil Island of Whidbey in Puget Sound. My local involvement with the Five Rhythms dance program gives me an exercise and soul satisfaction combo that is built for my sensibilities. The continued practice of Siddha Yoga, for 20 years now, keeps me mostly at peace. I still work three days a week for a naturopath. Candace Murtland Grant: Gary and I still run our little “mom-andpop” medical practice. No retirement plans in the near future. I missed the Santa Cruz reunion because we traveled to the Outer Banks and Key West. I will see my sons—two mountain men—in Idaho and Lake Tahoe in the next few weeks. Dina Hartzell: I retired recently, and am substitute teaching in several K-12 private schools during the school year and gardening, reading a lot, and making things. Rosemary Henze: This fall will be my last semester teaching at San Jose State University after 17 years! Focusing on painting, music, gardening, and cooking sounds pretty good! My documentary, Just a Piece of Cloth, continues to screen, mainly at local colleges and high schools, and I’m pleased that it fills a niche for dialogue about Muslim women’s everyday experiences. I need to get it on a streaming platform so if anyone knows how to do that, I’d love some advice! Rita Jensen: There is not much to report from north central Washington. I had a wonderful visit with Tina Hansen McEnroe at her beautiful ranch outside of Buellton in March of this year. I continue to be gravely concerned about the goings on in Washington, D.C., but am working along with many others to bring about change. Shannon Gregory Mandel: Our get-together at Nancy’s was memorable. I am planning a trip in October to see friends in Amsterdam and England. Tina Hansen McEnroe: Enjoyed a wonderful visit and hike on our ranch earlier this year with Rita Jensen and her husband, and Cindy Willis Lyons and I run into each other from time to time in Santa Barbara County. I am overjoyed with the culmination of a 10-year vision to write a couple of children’s books. Grass is Greener (readability level grades 3-5 and up) is now available on Amazon and book two will be published next year. Both stories are based on true adventures that happened at my 1869 Pleasant Valley Schoolhouse. I am heading to Tanzania in

September on a field seminar with Stanford. Patricia McNamara: I take care of my daughter’s two children, Olivia (3) and Lukas (10 months), at least two-three days a week. That coupled with my son’s three children doesn’t leave much time to myself. In August, I am going on another trip with my college friend to Iceland. I still manage a couple of my rentals and some commercial real estate. Piper McNulty: Our eldest daughter is expecting our first grandchild in September!

Younger daughter just started working for the S.F. Arts Commission and remains a staunch activist for both Asian Americans and other people of color, and the LGBTQ community. I’m still teaching community college part-time and working as an administrator for an on-campus program. Off to our first trip to Hungary and Austria next week. Still hoping to someday learn Spanish. Suzanne Saunders Shaw: After more than 33 years living and raising kids between San Francisco and the heart of the Silicon Valley, I’ve downsized and moved to Carmel. The Santa Cruz mini-reunion was very special, and later, I time-traveled with Marie Cantin into an epic three-day adventure at the 50th anniversary of Monterey Pop. It’s great to have daughter Britt (Berkeley) and son Hunter (Santa Cruz) close enough to visit. In the past year, I toured 11 countries, including Bhutan, Zimbabwe, and UAE Dubai, realizing anew that our democracy must not be taken for granted. Kudos to classmate Jane Sweetland for writing Sons at War. It helped me understand the war my dear dad rarely discussed. I’m encouraged by the progress of our nonprofit, Technology for Global Security, which draws cutting edge science to the global threats arena, focusing on nuclear weapons security and artificial intelligence. Molly Asche Smith: Summer has arrived and we have enjoyed some hiking and paddling. The family canoe is giving the next generation some adventure. Jake (6) is proving to be a quick study on the forward stroke and younger sister, Isabel (3), came along for the ride. It was a good day at the beach with son, Chris and his family. Our daughter, Sarah, will visit with her family later this month. Work is still busy with many projects underway. I enjoy it and the amazing people I have met along the way. Lena (Helen) Sedletzky Stevens: One of the highlights of my year so far was seeing such a good turnout of my classmates in Santa Cruz in June. I am still living in Santa Fe working harder than I should be but enjoying every minute of it. I’m still healthy; I love my mountains and spending time with my two wonderful granddaughters who live close by. And I am hoping to host our next reunion get-together here in Santa Fe in the fall of 2018!

Neville Penney Susich: We celebrated two weddings: our oldest and youngest were married in October and January, respectively. The most significant ending was my retirement in June after 20 years of college counseling. It was a great and rewarding career, and now it’s time to start a new chapter in my life. I enjoyed seeing all who came to celebrate in Santa Cruz! Hearty congratulations to Jane on her book, Sons at War —loved it! Jane Sweetland: I’ve spent the last couple of years writing a book, Sons at War, and I want to thank

Members of the Class of 1970 enjoying a mini-reunion in Santa Cruz, CA

my classmates for their support of this project, set in WWII, but relevant in today’s world. Thanks to Jane Kuchins who ordered a book from Australia expanding distribution internationally. A special thanks to Mary Lou Thiercof and Julie Henshaw who hosted a book signing. Neville Penney Susich and Rosy Henze who traveled to ML’s house in Oakland, and all who have (or will have) written an Amazon review. All is well on the family front: Nick is an entrepreneur in San Francisco; Haley is a journalist in New York; Lee and I have recently enjoyed travels to Ireland, South Africa, and a highlight trip was to Elko, NV, for a lovely visit with Mollie Gallagher Keller during the National Cowboy Poetry Gathering. Marion Toms: We are still building one thing or another on our 10-acre property in the Santa Barbara foothills. The fruit trees are producing enough fruit to keep us busy with harvesting, selling or trading, canning, and drying. I mix glazes for our community ceramic studio and make pots. I am loving having my own fully functioning studio again with working kilns. Alana (28) lives in Oakland and does computer coding work and Lexi (22) is continuing her education at UBC in Vancouver. She still has a travel bug but is trying to stay on this continent long enough to get her undergraduate degree. Susan Woods: I want to say first of all, our get-together in beautiful Santa Cruz was such a special occasion. I have a wonderful life in East Lansing! The film festival, which I founded, is celebrating 20 years of bringing independent, intelligent, and artistic films to our community. I also program the indie film series partnered with a major movie theater chain for three separate theaters throughout Michigan. I’m running again for city council in East Lansing after serving four years. My son, Max, is a senior at UC Santa Cruz, majoring in computer science. Tatia just returned from traveling in Thailand, Laos, Vietnam, and Cambodia. She is now a kayak tour guide on San Juan Island in Washington and her next adventure is graduate school in environmental studies. My husband, Johannes, is chair of the media and information department at Michigan State University. So excited to be traveling with Darlinda Dovolis Ball ’69 to visit Lindsay Wills Hutton on her family island in Canada. Tina Alden Yeager: My husband David and I live in Washington, D.C. Son Chris and his wife are both graduates of Georgetown University Law School. After two clerkships, he’s about to start a new job with a D.C. law firm and she works for the Treasury Department. Pamela Zucker: The most exciting news is that I’ve retired! After more than 10 years at the latest tech company, I decided I no longer wanted to be a project manager. I added a new country to my passport—Morocco! Had a fabulous trip traveling around the country via bus, four-wheel drive, and camel. We stayed in a tented camp in the desert, experienced a sand storm and rain, and of course, rode a camel. Travel around the sand dunes in a four-wheel drive jeep was a hoot! I’m still bike riding, hiking/walking, and sewing. I’m still doing the annual trek to Ashland. This year is scheduled for August. It was a great time in Santa Cruz visiting with all!

Suzanne Scoville

suzanne.scoville@gmail.com

The Class of 1972 was asked to send in the name of a favorite song of 1972 hoping that it would recall fun moments for all of us! Louis Harris: I am still working as a clinical social worker in Solano County, the same nonprofit where I have been for 30 years. On the side, I love hiking and yoga and the values that go along with it; I dabble with music and have a guitar, banjo, fiddle, and electric keyboard. Happily married, no kids, living in the East Bay in a great house bordering a canyon. Laura Knoop King: I am loving semi-retirement from Bonhams Auctioneers, allowing more time to enjoy our home in Rhode Island in the summer! Rick and I are traveling to Amsterdam the first week of August to see his eldest daughter, son-in-law, and two grandsons for a week. We return to S.F. after Labor Day for the fall, winter, and spring. Catherine Lenahan Kearney: Loving life in Santa Rosa, CA, after 31 years of traveling the world with my Marine hubby who retired 10 years ago as a Colonel. Our four grandchildren keep us busy and my boys married fabulous women who are like my best friends. Dianne Klech: I live in Olympia, WA. I watch two of my grandchildren, and just returned home from Kansas City from spending two weeks with my third granddaughter. Most of my days are filled with quilting or digitizing embroidery. I try to work on at least two community quilts a month. These quilts go to seniors, foster children, or abuse shelters. Julie Sigourney has young grandkids and is frequently in pictures with snow. Joan Brady spends part of her life as a clown and so her pictures include parades and events where she has participated. Clare O’Leary: My dream of settling back in the Washington, D.C., area came true this spring when I purchased a townhouse in the northern Virginia suburbs. I commute into D.C. to my NGO office most days, and work from home other days. One of my favorite aspects of living here is having access to many multicultural events and ethnic communities—including the refugee and immigrant adults who participate in the ESL and cultural learning program where I volunteer one day a week. (Song: “I Feel the Earth Move Under My Feet”) Betian Webb: I’m the director of resident services for the Paso Robles Housing Authority—a job I love. I oversee food

distribution to 10,000 people a year donated by the local food bank. I run our youth programs, which teach job skills and provide paid work experience to 300 youths, aged 6 to 24. We just started the Oak Park Coding Club to teach computer coding to middle school girls (with planning help from a Santa Catalina senior and her mentor at the Naval Postgraduate School). We work with 4-H and Big Brothers/Big Sisters to bring their services to our children. We are always in need of grants to support our youth. If anyone has ideas, please contact me at bwebb@ pasoroblesha.org. (Song: “Leaving on a Jet Plane”) Dana Turner Witmer (in the Democratic Republic of Congo): The first of my two favorite songs I remember singing are “We are One in the Spirit.” The worship times at Catalina were special and helped me come to believe and trust in God. Those reminders about the importance of love and unity are still themes that the world needs to see lived out, so we continue with our mission work in Congo. Burt Bacharach’s “Do You Know the Way to San Jose” resonated with me as I was from Los Angeles and I loved the fresh air and open spaces of the Monterey Peninsula. Travel was also such a big part of our experience at Santa Catalina. The going away was fun but the coming back was special for the friends, studies, and location. Maureen Cate wrote her favorite song was “Bridge over Troubled Waters.” Lucinda Scales Chapman: My husband, Bob, and I live between Atlanta and Chicago, which are two great cities. Hopefully, we will be returning/relocating to the San Francisco area as soon as our daughter, Katie, and her new husband live in the city! Our son, Sandy, works for Coca Cola in Myanmar and Austin is in his senior year at Boston College. I just left full time teaching and now teach small art workshops out of my studio basement for young children. It is a blast! Kate Johnson: I’m meeting Sheila Steiner Asher for our sixth or seventh annual fly fishing excursion to Jasper National

Park in Canada next week. Early August I’m off to see Kate Doyle, which includes my maiden voyage to Tahoe. Juliana Hobbs Bryan: I retired from my nursing faculty position in May. It was timely given our son, Jim ’96 LS, his wife, and children (4, 2 ½, newborn) live in Philadelphia and our daughter Kate ’02, her husband, and son (16 months) live in Houston. I spend a great deal of my time now traveling to them! Tom and I enjoyed a wonderful trip with Karen List Letendre and her husband in June exploring the Bourbon Trail in Kentucky and Tennessee. We are planning a walking trip in rural Japan early October. (Song: “Bridge over Troubled Water”) Jalynne Tobias Redman: I continue to teach full time at a local charter school, where I am both a mentor teacher and the school’s technology coordinator. As the technology coordinator, I am responsible for developing innovative pedagogy designed to blend technology with academic content. I also spend time at Computer Users in Education (CUE) Conferences and CUE Rock Star Camps which necessitate time in American Canyon, Palm Springs, and other areas in California. At last summer’s CUE Rock Star Camp, I was able to connect with Dacia Burz Djirbandee for dinner which was great fun. On a more personal note, my husband, Ward, has officially retired. He is a team member for Volunteers in Prevention, a group that is active in fire prevention in the Arnold area. We continue, as time allows, to split our time between Arnold and Carmel, enjoying the best of both worlds. Perla Armanasco Gray is still happily ensconced in N.Y.C. with the occasional forays to Italy to research designs for her jewelry line. She and Suzanne Scoville Sederholt , who is still in Ridgefield, CT, directing theatrical productions, visit each other often and both recall their musical afternoons, sitting under the big trees on the front lawn at Santa Catalina, mastering the guitar fingering for “Classical Gas.” Katie Darnell: Several years ago

I designed a monogram for our second daughter’s wedding and out of that project was born Heritage Monograms, a home-based business that allows me to create monograms, crests, and artwork for clients who seek a highly personal bespoke look for their wedding or personal stationery needs. I work in pen and ink for engraved invitations and watercolor for letterpress and digital applications. I am really having fun with this late stage career. Speaking of stages I was recently diagnosed with stage 1 breast cancer so I am undergoing radiation as I write this note. I know that this disease has touched a number of our classmates so I just encourage everyone to be vigilant about scheduling their annual mammograms. Later this year I am planning a trip to Morocco with my mother so I am looking forward to good health and adventures ahead. (Song: “Morning has Broken”) Maureen Caballero: I am teaching fifth grade at my local parish school, St. Justin Martyr in Anaheim. I was unable to attend our recent reunion since I just started this past September after teaching high school math for 26 years. I am also teaching science for grades 5-8.

Sally Fay calgal75@aol.com

Cherie Pettit Arkley: As of January 2018, we will have four grandchildren. Rob and I are busy and always so grateful. Arden Bucklin Sporer: I have officially retired from 20 years working in green schoolyards, and from Education Outside, the organization I co-founded (with our fellow classmate, Randi Fisher). I went to Guatemala with two of my sons, and back and forth to Montana for lots of fishing on the Bitterroot river. I currently serve on a few boards, doing a lot of yoga, and bike riding. Beth Barker: I am riding avidly now, pursuing dressage on my wonderful Grand Prix horse Sandro Paix. Still working with autistic kids at Giant Steps Therapeutic Riding Center. I see a lot of Arden Bucklin and Katie Wheeler. My kids are great: transgender daughter, Alice, is a successful web designer and activist, and son, Sam, is in product management. Both live in L.A. I’m off to Bhutan next spring to tour and visit my brother and his Bhutanese wife! Susan Bowen Osen: We sold our home of 19 years and downsized to a smaller home in Pasadena. We celebrated Hayley’s graduation from medical school at University of Michigan and she is starting her residency in anesthesiology at UCLA,

which she is thrilled about. Other daughter, Lauren, graduated with her MBA from UCLA, and is in the midst of planning her wedding this November! Our son, Robert, is also in So Cal working and living in West Hollywood. Katie Dennis Wheeler: I have never participated before in alumnae catch-ups. I want to reflect on my greatest joy, besides my son, Matthew (33): my property in Mendocino. I have a very large vegetable garden and a young orchard. There are seven of us that harvest regularly and the rest goes to the Food Bank in Fort Bragg—a dream come true! I just spent four days helping my son move his stuff from Flagstaff to Berkeley! Carol Golden Bjorndahl: I’m on the road down to Verona, Italy, to see an opera put on at the old Roman arena there. I’ve been retired for about a year. The kids are moved out and gainfully employed, so it’s time for Per (my husband) and I to sow a few more wild oats. Our daughter (27) finished her master’s in engineering and is working for Accenture, a consultancy. Our son (25) works for an Apple wholesaler, but his true vocation and passion is coaching basketball. No grandchildren as yet. We still live in Stockholm. I’m very much at home here. Well, the winters are way too long, and seem

to be getting longer the older I get. Perhaps Liz Gaver, who I heard is my neighbor over in Norway, can sympathize. In any case, Sweden suits my temperament, despite some of the challenges we’re facing, so I guess I’m here to stay. Anne de Lorimier Eggleton: Our youngest son was married in Cambria in June. My husband, Harry, was honored to officiate! Our eldest son and his wife live in Penn Valley and are enjoying their forestry work and consulting. Harry is now working at Cal Poly SLO. I’m keeping busy with my small bookkeeping business and volunteer work. I get up to Monterey often to see my parents. I am planning to have coffee tomorrow with Suzanne Turner! Randi Stroud Fisher: I am having a great time celebrating the weddings of my kids. I, and many others, begrudgingly bid farewell to Arden Bucklin as CEO of Education Outside, an organization teaching science and eco literacy in elementary public schools by programming gardens. We worked together for five years to get it off the ground, and with Arden, as the leader, Education Outside has touched more than 17,000 kids! I am so proud of what my classmate has accomplished. (Note: Randi very much deserves credit for all the nonprofit work she devotes her daily working hours to. Education Outside would not have thrived without Randi’s input, too. There are a number of nonprofit organizations who have benefited from her mentoring and leadership.) With my husband, Bob Fisher, we founded and run our foundation, the Pisces Foundation, together. Never thought I would be working with my husband, but we are enjoying our partnership at the Pisces Foundation. Lots to do in the environmental arena these days. Margaret Brown: I recently moved to Berkeley and am now the third owner of a 1927 Tudor, which was basically in its original condition. Lots of remodeling to do. I’d love to connect with anyone who lives in the area. Last weekend, we drove down to Carmel Valley to visit Liz Gaver and her family visiting from Norway and had a great time. Barbara Gault: Tomorrow I drive to the Trinity Alps for a week of hiking and sitting in

swimming holes. I am looking forward to experiencing the 8/21 Solar Eclipse with Brigid Flanigan ’73 in WY. Carolyn Hartwell O’Brien: I’m honored to be a Santa Catlina trustee. My aim is to be supportive during the head of school transition and next chapter of school evolution, and to be a voice for alums and our class. I went on a biking and eating tour of Tuscany, which I’ve wanted to do for 30 years. My philanthropy consulting business is growing. I’m truly enjoying helping families find ways to get meaning and impact from their philanthropy. Susan Gates Suman: I am the CEO and founding partner of Redbird, a boutique creative and marketing agency. Redbird helps companies and foundations brand and market themselves to connect with their audience. My husband, Ed, and I have been renovating our new house on Nichols Canyon, right off Mulholland, that is a hop and a skip from our top favorite neighbor, Lisa Sutton. Our daughter, Ava, is in tenth grade, and loves music and hanging out with her fabulous girlfriends. (Ed note: Thanks to Sue a few of us congregated at her house on beautiful Lake Tahoe!) Tricia Lungren Partridge: I still call the wine country, specifically, Healdsburg, “home.” I am a proud grandmother of Theodore (7 months). My youngest son is getting married in August. I was health services director for an independent/assisted living community but have recently launched a new business, Endermologie and Wellness Studio. Endermologie is a deep tissue massage treatment offering aesthetic (natural anti-aging) and health benefits (ie., lymphatic drainage). It’s all done with an FDA cleared machine from France. I have been lucky to spend time with Cindy Grier and Kathy Trafton this past year. And Lani Pringle and I are going to catch up in the city soon. Monica Lozano: I just stepped down after two years as chair of the University of California Board of Regents, one of the most rewarding and challenging experiences of my life. I continue to dedicate myself professionally to a variety of activities in the corporate and nonprofit fields. David and I are headed to Ireland and Scotland for vacation. Olava Menczkowska: I have been ballroom dancing and performing and still have The Studio at Pebble Beach. I see Sister Claire often and enjoy staying in contact with the school’s new health and wellness program. Liz Nomellini Musbach: Our youngest of two sons, Alex, graduated college this spring. Husband, Jim, and I have been married 31 years, and I have been with the East Bay Regional Park District, the largest regional park system in the U.S., for 22 years. I head the Land Acquisition Department and am proud to say I have played a part in doubling the park system’s preserved lands in Alameda and Contra Costa counties to over 120,000 acres. I had the pleasure of having brunch and touring with Lisa Cavanaugh Wiese this spring when she was in the Bay Area on Christie’s business. Wendy Tayler: I still live in Costa Rica and continue to be a silk painter. I have silks in 22 countries and in several galleries in the U.S. and Costa Rica. I have been traveling more, mainly to visit my five children and first grandchild. Martha Winans Slaughter: Louisville is still home base, but we

have a daughter in L.A., a son in Brooklyn, and another son in Louisville. I have recently shifted gears at Bernheim Arboretum and Research Forest from serving six years as their visual arts coordinator to serving on their board and I am halfway through my term as the chair at the Speed Art Museum, which is in a ramp up after a three year closure and a $60 million renovation and expansion. Mark and I continue to travel the world together and divide our time between Louisville and a home on the Gulf Coast. This year we will be celebrating our 30th wedding anniversary! Peg McDonnell Vance reports from New York City: We are moving downtown into a new building near Gramercy Park. The kids live in the city as well. Clare loves working in documentary films. Simon is still doing data analytics, and Cyrus is running for a third term. I’m still working in prisons, which I love, and plan to go to more prisons and to photograph more programs. (Note: Peggy’s photographs, taken in prisons, have been assembled into an exhibit that is traveling to all 57 state prisons in N.Y.C.) Lisa Sutton: I am focusing my attention on an ancillary branch of my acupuncture/wellness business. My partner, Amy, and I run an acupuncture, Chinese herbal medicine, and massage practice in Hollywood. My niece, Natalie, is getting married in the fall. Her brother, Zander, turns 30 this week and is waiting to see if he gets a fourth season pickup for his show, Casual , on Hulu. In the latter part of August I may find myself back in Boston working on another film. Nancy Southam: Sending my life story since 1976 It will be brief. Losing dear friends, as we all know, takes a while to deal with, in silence, let alone family dying. Losing Leonard Cohen and Jimmy Harrison in the same year, dear buddies of mine, has made me more quiet and prayerful. Perrin Weston: Our daughter,

Emerson, graduated from Francis Parker High School in San Diego with honors and is University of Puget Sound bound. She’s interested in pre-med and rock ’n’ roll. My business, Carlsbad Art Farm (carlsbadartfarm.com), in north coastal San Diego County, is thriving with our mission to inspire and encourage a deep connection to animals and the natural world through traditional studio art education. Last year we opened up our Imaginarium Printing Studio to local students with the acquisition of a custom-built Conrad monoprint press. Our summer camps now attract local and international students and we are looking forward to opening up classes to adults for the first time this fall. Angela Tirrell: Having finally built the clean-lined studio of my dreams in the midst of my fruit-tree filled garden in Napa, I’ve visitors from lots of walks of my life. Not reclusive vis-à-vis studio time, I really enjoy having friends, patrons, and family see what I am in process of creating. Bamboo trays of some of the many materials I incorporate into paintings are on display: iridescent insect carapaces, BB gun pellets, charcoal chunks, pigment powders, mosses, shards from automobile windshields, etc. Evident, also, are numerous works in progress of luminous colors and a variety of evocative textures. Social justice issues, house arrest, and philanthropic and humanitarian topics predominate in my work. My closest friends are loyal, ethical, humorous and gutsy people, as are my family. Sally Fay: I have moved back to my hometown, San Francisco! One of the best parts of being back in California is the closeness to the Catalina pals here! I love seeing my classmates and meeting other Catalinans of all ages who are here. I love being close to Woodside, where my mother (93) is still having fun. Family and cousins are all around northern California so that is great. I am still writing blogs for Huffington Post. I am really into tennis, playing on a couple USTA teams, using it as a meditation! I anticipate working again, trying to make a contribution to help the world we are living in, in whatever way I can. Walter (32) is living in St. Paul, MN; Kerry, my daughter, is engaged to a lovely young man and living in Boulder; and Charlie, my youngest, is serving our country as an officer in the U.S. Navy, and is currently stationed in San Diego. Life is an adventure and it is nice to be home.

Pam Anderson-Brule: My daughter, Isabel, just finished her second year at Cal Poly. My sons have provided me with five wonderful grandkids whom I adore. Both my mom (88) and dad (92) are healthy and happy. Work is still full of creative and exciting projects. I had a wonderful time seeing Gnarity Levin Burke and her husband in Paris and then again at her home in S.F. Lisa Campodonico: George and I love living in Idaho and are having a great time exploring the area. We had a wonderful trip to the Grand Canyon, Zion, Monument Valley, and Sedona in April and then headed to Glacier in the RV for a week in July. Daughter Molly and Dallin are expecting their second baby, a girl, in August. Their son Ari is growing like a weed and is a constant source of fun and entertainment. Son Joey and Sarah are moving to New York in July and we are headed out there in September to visit. Lorie Dillingham Rosenwald: All is well with Dill and Stu. Lots of travel this past summer with Iceland on the itinerary. Also celebrated 35 years of wedding bliss on June 30. Ann Taylor: All is well now. I had a health scare in November 2016 when I dropped on the court playing tennis. Luckily someone knew CPR and the paramedics came quickly. It was an electrical issue in my heart but I am back to normal now. I saw my niece get married in Annapolis in December and got together with some college rugby friends and had a laugh-a-thon in Vancouver. Tessa Wilcox: This last summer, I took a trip to Germany and Italy with Maya to look at art. Maya will be heading into the eighth grade in the fall. Marge Ganz: All is good here in Coronado, CA. Working out, boating, and biking into town are the basis of my life for now. It’s really nice after the crazy of the last 10 years, so I will take it.

Joan David lunanegra6@att.net

Cathy Collins Geier: I can’t believe I’m a grandmother of four. Three of our five kids are married and a fourth is getting married this month. Three of the girls live in New York City, one in Denver, and one in San Francisco.

We are still in Rancho Santa Fe and part-time in Lake Tahoe. We are hoping to lure them back to Southern California someday. When the kids left, I went back to singing, which has been a wonderful distraction and keeps me feeling youngish. Joan David: I want to thank everyone for their contributions while I’ve been the class secretary. It has been great fun getting re-connected with so many of you! I’ve been busy working on a couple of photo projects that have given me the drive to travel much more extensively. I traveled to the San Juan Islands and Victoria, Mexico, Central America, and South America. I’ve taken my annual girls’ trip to the Caribbean, staying on Montserrat and Antigua. I went back to South America to see Peru and the Galapagos Islands. And, on a whim, I headed to Egypt and Jordan. Each travel opportunity gave me some great footage for my photo projects and the chance to meet new friends. I am wrapping up a photo degree at our local community college with the idea that I might go on to get my master’s degree in fine arts with a specialization in photography. Eileen Diepenbrock : My husband, Gene Cheever, and I are celebrating 29 years of marriage this year. We have lived in Philadelphia, San Francisco, and, since 1994, Sacramento. We have three kids and have been soccer parents, music parents, student parents, working parents and, often plain, old tired parents. Sam (25) works for a nonprofit that provides assistance to the homeless population of

Maddie Homan Blanchard ’78 with her three sons

Cynthia Dulin Herr ’78 with family

Oakland; Sarah (24) is in graduate school at the University of Washington, getting her master’s in prosthetics; and Ben (22) just graduated from the University of Oregon. I continue to practice law, and although I have loved that career, I look forward to more play time and more travel for fun now that the kids are out of college. Madeleine Homan Blanchard: I continue to work full time as VP coaching services for The Ken Blanchard Companies. I have been studying to be a Shaman and have started a small practice in preparation for my next career. I am just now leaving for a trip to Mongolia to study with healers there. All four kids are doing well: Hannah in N.Y.C. chasing her music dream (hannahandmaggie. com); Atticus in San Diego hustling in commercial real estate; Kurtis at UMass Amherst; and Kyle taking a gap year. We seem to be collecting labs as we now have three! Camie Riley Johnson: I became a granny in October 2016. My beautiful granddaughter, Hazel, is a joy. I had a great visit at the end of May with Gaby Davidson Lyon in Milwaukee and then with Peggy Rice Hoyt in Winnetka. Cindy Dow Wenzlau: On the wine front, we are still dedicated to making pinot noir and chardonnay from our small plot north of Santa Barbara. Wenzlau Vineyard released our first Blanc de Blanc sparkling wine after four years in the making! On the personal side, we celebrated the first of our four kids tying the knot! It was a beautiful wedding at our home in San Marino. Cynthia Dulin Herr: We visited our second oldest, Dulie, who lived in New Zealand for all of 2016. She now lives in Denver and is loving it. Our oldest, Charlie, became engaged to his girlfriend, Gabriela, in March. Our twins, Tom and Meg, graduated from KU. We’re loving life in Santa Fe, although we still haven’t been there enough. Please visit if anyone is ever in the Santa Fe area. Joan and I would love to see you. We’re celebrating our 30th in September!

Julie Yurkovich Forrest: My daughter, Tamsen Forrest ’13, graduated from Northern Arizona University in May and has moved back to the Monterey Peninsula, working in marketing and living in a micro-house in Carmel Valley. I love being able to see her often

and have her close by. My husband, Michael, and I celebrated our 35th wedding anniversary in January. I continue happily working at Santa Catalina as director of Summer at Santa Catalina and I am now enjoying my new role as director of enrollment. I had the great fortune to see Alicia Bon Martin, who was in town on business. We had a wonderful visit and it was terrific to catch up on the last 40 years.

Dana DuPuy Morgan: Our eldest daughter Emily went off to the University of Kent to read film studies and finished with a first. Our youngest, Lilley, has just accepted an apprenticeship with a local pre-school and we are thrilled for her. Tim continues to consult in information security, which is booming. I have completed my eighth year raising funds for the girls’ high school and am considering other opportunities. I am very grateful to classmates who have sent in news this year. Julie Lambert: In rapid succession last year, I moved my parents into memory care, experienced the passing of my father, and stepped away from my job. After getting family matters settled, I was able to take a trip to Budapest, Prague, and Vienna in November, experiencing Christmas markets along the way. Upon my return I “came home again” to Santa Catalina, where I am the director of finance and HR. Please stop by my office, the room formally known as “Rat Hole,” if you’re on campus! I frequently cross paths with Ellen McGuire Gaucher, Amy Kajikuri Martinetto, Robin Gagos Denga, Judy Oliver Schmidt , and RoseAnne Ruccello Fischer, and was able to be at the graduation ceremonies for Amy’s daughter Ella Martinetto ’17 and Franca’s nephew Gabriel Gargiulo ’17 LS. Ellen McGuire Gaucher: Our oldest will begin his third year of architecture at Cal Poly and our youngest will be a sophomore at York School. Paul and I celebrated 29 years of marriage in May and are planning to celebrate our 30th by hiking through the Dolomites. I continue to enjoy a bit of balance with running, CrossFit, beekeeping, and of course, cooking. Mignon Stapleton: I am

doing well in Sacramento. I have been working in my new career teaching preschool for a year, and will lead a new computer class and STEAM class next year. It is challenging and fun. We have a year round school, so just a few weeks off for summer vacation at Lake Tahoe. My family is doing well. I enjoy biking along the river, going to the gym, and building houses for the homeless with my church. RoseAnne Ruccello Fischer: We welcomed two new grandchildren to our family, Paislee and Mason. My stepdaughter Britney married and with that marriage we welcomed two more grandchildren making a total of six grandchildren for us! My son Jake is working in the Bay Area and my daughter Cristina is in Santa Ana. Butch and I are still working but we are starting an importing business. We are importing olive oil and antiques from Italy. In 2016, we bought a home in the Chianti region in Italy and our love of Italy keeps growing. The olive oil business still has about six months to a year to get off the ground but I’ll make it happen! Diana Kendrick Untermeyer: Daughter Elly graduated last June and started a job right away. Chase and I were thrilled that she could join us this March for a trip to Marrakech hosted by the Father Emir of Qatar. It is fantastic to see everyone’s posts on Facebook. For me this is the best part of social media and makes up for all the political vitriol. Kaye Teasley Muth, however, is excepted from my disdain for political rantings, because she brings such humor and intelligence to the discussion! Mary Fergusson Bakan: Ken and I were married in December 2016 and are now living in Carmel. If anyone comes through town we would love to meet up with them. Joan Goodfellow Knetemann: I want to let everyone know how much I value our Facebook friendships. It is so fun to keep up with everyone’s birthdays, and life events. Being able to support Colleen Conden Marquez through her mom’s death, and then the fire threat to their Carmel Valley house, to watching Julie Lambert’s sorority fun and beautiful WILWIL (why I love where I live) posts. Barbara Newton McDonald never stops traveling to the social hot spots: Monaco, Aspen, Nantucket; and Diana (Kendrick Untermeyer) looked so happy in the photograph with her friends, Barbara and

Camie Riley Johnson ’78 with granddaughter Hazel

Cathy Collins Geier ’78 with her family

George H.W. Bush. So many of our classmates have gone deep spiritually, including Niika (Amy) Quistgard. Her posts about her son’s first steps on his prosthetics brought tears to my eyes. If you haven’t seen Mary Diepenbrock Cotter’s beautiful children, or Kitty Yurich’s memories of her mom, join Facebook just for our class. Last fall I spent a month in Claremont helping my stepfather transition from this life to the next. Caregiving is tough work, but so fulfilling when you have such a gracious patient. Shout out to Cathy Lockwood Wimberg who came out to Claremont to support me in the days after he died. When a friend of mine heard about the care I gave to Bob, he hired me in a leadership position in his home care company (ACCfamily. com). I am learning about caring for our parents as a professional, and about successful marketing. One of the great parts of this job is that I will be traveling at least once a month to Colorado where our son, Mike, and his wife, Sara, live. My new fun hobby is stand up paddleboarding. When I’m not on my bike, in my office, or on the water I volunteer as a chaplain at Mount Vernon Hospital, and at Georgetown University’s campus ministry. Lilia Ashrafi Powers: I went back to college to finish my bachelor’s degree at Marymount California University, Lakeside Campus. In May 2017, I graduated and also celebrated my 30th anniversary with my husband Tom. Also, my sister, Parisa Ashrafi ’81, who went back to Iran to take care of our father and his affairs eight years ago, was able to come back for the first time to be at my graduation. It has been a very special time in my life!

Mindy Malisoff Baggett mbaggett@cox.net

Mindy Malisoff Baggett: A special thank you to Stacey Pruett Taddeucci for opening up her home and having us over for a lovely cocktail party at our 35th reunion. I am finally back home in Arizona, loving life. I attended the Phoenix chapter of Santa Catalina Alumnae gathering and had a lovely time with many Catalina graduates of all ages. My daughter Jessica calls Seattle home, pursuing her Ph.D. in public health and working for the Washington State Department of Health. Suzanne Linton Ver Schure: Had an amazing time at our 35th reunion rooming with Dina Nassar Guillen, Anne Frasse Stowe and Adrienne Marsh and catching up with everyone else. Otherwise, life in Colorado is good. Betsey

Black : Playing a little tennis and working hard. Anne Frasse Stowe: I am enjoying my life in Solana Beach! Lucy Stowe ’16 is home from her freshman year at Boston University and is working at Rush Cycle for the summer. Fox will be a senior in high school next year and we are exploring colleges this summer. Xander is graduating from the eighth grade from St. James Academy soon and will be attending Cathedral Catholic High School. I have recently accepted a job as office manager at St. James Academy in Solana Beach. And in March I hosted the first alumnae chapter event in San Diego. It was a fun get together and my mom, Wendy Miller Lambeth ’60, happened to be visiting and it was fun to have her there, too! We had a wide range of classes represented and I loved chatting with everyone. Juju Janko Wong: We moved to the D.C. area in July 2016 so that Brad could assume the CEO/president position of the Pulmonary Hypertension Association. We are living in Potomac and slowly but surely getting acclimated to a new culture, although we refuse to give up our California sensibilities! Matthew will be in seventh grade in the fall and Alexa will be in fourth grade. I’ve enjoyed plugging into the D.C. chapter of Santa Catalina Alumnae. I was very sad to miss our reunion but am so proud of our class for showing in a tangible way what our camaraderie means to us—way to go Class of 1982 with the highest percentage of annual fund giving! Stacey Pruett Taddeucci: Life is good here on the Monterey Peninsula. As of June, I am officially retired! Looking forward to volunteering in the Kindergarten and PreK again. My kids are all grown up and doing well. It was great to reconnect at Reunion. Hillary Lee Fleischer Chandler: My fun and exciting news it that in the middle of a gig an Elvis impersonator showed up, surprised the crowd, and married us! It was so much fun. So was our honeymoon in Paris. We’re officially John and Hillary Chandler! Courtney Tunney Hotchkis: The family trip to China was amazing; we visited Hong Kong, Shanghai, and Beijing, though the highlight was the Terracotta Warriors in Xi’an. My oldest daughter finished her first year at Berkeley, where she is a Kappa Kappa Gamma—she loves it! My youngest daughter just graduated from eighth grade and can’t wait to start high school at Mayfield Senior School. Deborah Petteway: I’m still in Unalakleet, AK. I’m ice fishing, trout and salmon fishing, berry picking, and still working at the sub-regional clinic. Traveling to four surrounding villages for clinics is exciting. Enjoying the community and traveling as much as I can. I enjoyed the group call from you all at the reunion! Tala (Cheryl) Ibabao: I loved seeing everyone at the reunion and catching up. I’m a Spanish bilingual school teacher, fourth grade at a Title I school in Concord, CA. Edith Keville even made a brief visit to my class last summer. My daughter, Malaya Ibabao, just graduated with a degree in political science at UC Berkeley and my son, Fenua Ibabao, was just accepted there. I’m taking them to Europe to celebrate us this summer—it was a long journey to get here as a single parent. I was hit by the traveling bug and went to more than 12 countries in the last two years. One of the highlights was

visiting Temi Stallings ’84 and her daughter in Cape Town. After being involved in the antiapartheid movement, visiting South Africa was a dream come true! I’m still singing in a salsa band and trying to dance in salsa clubs in each country I visit. Melody Bender King: I am in my 26th year of my wedding floral business in Carmel and my husband is in his 30th year of his registered investment advisory business. Our oldest daughter is in Chicago dancing professionally and teaching, and our youngest, who just finished her freshman year at Bryn Mawr College in PA, is home for the summer and working as a paid intern for Jimmy Panetta’s office as a liaison for veterans’ affairs. We have a trip planned in January to cruise around the horn in South America and are looking forward to time off. It was a great pleasure to see some of my classmates at reunion and wish more had been there.

Meg Gibbons Bertero spent the first part of the summer touring parts of Germany with her daughter, Quinn (15) before Quinn started camp in Switzerland. Blake and Daphne both spent time at Catalina this summer for camp. Meg loved seeing her children enjoy camp as much as she enjoyed school at Catalina. Kristin Ring enjoyed a lovely gathering at the home of Meg Gibbons Bertero to welcome the new head of school. She also road tripped with her aunt to Asheville, NC; Nashville, TN; and Memphis, TN (yes, they did go to Graceland … on Easter Sunday). Kristin also caught up with Brenda Trousdell at the Matisse/Diebenkorn exhibit at SFMoMA. Brenda Trousdell is still in San

Francisco with her husband and they still own a catering/special events company, 49 Square Catering. Their two boys are in high school and keep Brenda busy.Jackson (17) and Nicholas (15) have two rescue dogs named Eddie and Rue. Danae Aplas Hansen has been living in Montana for four years since her husband retired from the Navy. Danae works at the local hospital. Their children are starting the sixth and ninth grades. The family spends weekends traveling for various sports. They plan on visiting Catalina this summer and going on a family cruise from Spain as well. Amy Hall McNamara started her summer at Disneyworld and Universal Studios with her daughter, Margaret (10). She reports that the Wizarding World of Harry Potter was worth the trip. Her son, Michael (10), enjoyed time fishing with dad in the Florida Keys while the girls were gone. Ginny finished seventh grade at Burke’s this year and is spending much of her summer at Santa Catalina’s camp with Blake and Daphne Bertero. Amy is keeping her hand in architecture after completing a nine-month home renovation. She is consulting on a residential project and serving on two architectural renovation committees. Finally, Amy reports that she saw fellow classmates, Margi Bogart Power and Alex Stimson Davis, at the Burke’s reunion this year and both are doing great. Margi’s daughter, Elizabeth (19), is a rising sophomore at George Washington University and loves living in D.C. Meredith is a rising junior in high school. Margi went back to work part-time last September as program director for Leadership San Mateo, Foster City, Burlingame, Hillsborough, which is a 10-month program for adults from public, private, and nonprofit sectors to learn about the four cities and San Mateo County. She is loving it and feeling busy as she also remains on the school board and is heading up their local chapter National Charity League. Tom is still enjoying real estate in San Francisco. Margi recently ran into Judy McDonald Moses and Jamie Buffington Browne ’85 on Burlingame Avenue—Catalina alums are everywhere! Ming Lie Chan sent her summer wishes to everyone from N.Y.C. as she is spending time on the East Coast this summer. Diana Treviño de Pozas reports that two of her sons graduated from college this past semester—Federico from Rollings in Florida and Daniel from Northeastern in Boston. Manuel graduated from high school and starts college in Boulder with her daughter Diana. Diana is keeping busy with classes and pro-life charity work. Ruieta DaSilva is having lots of fun living near Joshua Tree. She is gone some days for work in Coronado, but is spending most of her time meditating, learning, and praying. Ruieta is digital detoxing so is off Facebook to avoid the politics, but misses the gossip so please text her. Dea Anderson Rouiller has been traveling for work, recently going to Monte Carlo, Seattle, and Nashville. Dea lives in a constant state of jet lag, but she absolutely loves her job as a meeting planner/conference organizer. Dea and Amedee have been married for nearly nine years now. They are the proud parents to a standard poodle named Quiche Lorraine (after the B-52’s song). Frances

Domingo Reilly graduated with her master’s in transpersonal psychology, specializing in spiritual psychology, transpersonal ecopsychology, and creative expressions. She is enjoying a month off while looking for a new position. Melissa Aboitiz Elizalde’s boys are in college at Santa Clara and Davidson. Her daughter, Clara, will be a senior at Lawrenceville School. Melissa was headed off to see Marissa Fung Shaw the day she wrote in and reported back, “Marissa has not aged one bit except for the glasses which I’m sure most of us sport.” Marisa is still in Hong Kong with her husband and new puppy. She went back to school and graduated last year with a Master of Social Sciences in non-profit management. She says it was “grueling but very enjoyable and energizing to be with students ranging from late 20s to 50s.” Pamela Bartlett Compton is getting ready for her “busy” season as her grapes are just about to harvest. She is selling table grapes domestically and exports for a local ranch. Katherine Bacon Hurley is still in Madison, WI, with her husband, Bob, her boys, Brendan (13) and Declan (9), and their two Bernese Mountain dogs. She is still working in retail and heads up a brand called WinterSilks, which is targeted to women over 60. They are headed to San Francisco this Christmas so she hopes to catch up with those of you still in the Bay Area. Rene McCurry Johnson is busy helping her daughter, Samantha, with college visits, interviews, tests, and essays. The family had a great time watching Sam compete in her first FEI (international) competition at Longines Global Champions Tour on (literally) Miami Beach. Caroline continues to play basketball year round. Caroline also is spending time at Catalina camp this summer. The family traveled to East Africa this summer, visiting Nairobi, Kenya, and Botswana. Rusty is still working as a fund manager at Harding Loevner and playing lots of tennis. Rene is still riding, but her mares and she are both getting older so the fence heights are getting smaller.

Ming Lie Chan ’86 with her son

guardian dogs and lots of chickens too. Christine is trying to raise heritage breeds of chickens as well. She also is taking a class on soil studies and is hoping to get certified so she can slowly phase out of retail pharmacy and get into the study of soil life and dry farming. Christine’s children are young adults now. Lily (24) works at the San Francisco VA doing research with PTSD and Kyle (22) is graduating with his biology degree and aspires to be a physical therapist. I, Katharine Folger Yeager, report that Nat and Jackson (11) are obsessed with soccer, so thankfully the only real debate in our house is “futbol v. football.” I actually have fallen in love with soccer too and we have had a lot of fun watching Jackson’s teams. Sadly, work is still busy. Oh to be put out of business! But the Yeagers are all happy, healthy, and enjoying life. Shannon Nicholson has seen a lot of Dianna Anton Lowell over the past year. Shannon is still living in Alameda and working in the marketing department for Bright Horizons Family Solutions. She and Ted are very active in their local theatre community after an eight-year hiatus. They love being parents to their amazing Helena (8). The family traveled all over Ireland last summer with Shannon’s father and are headed to Greece this fall. 87 Susan

Kimberly Bedwell Smith: We are still loving the farm life here in Indiana where we have a 400-acre family farm that grows corn, soy beans, wheat and hay; have a flock of ewes to raise home-grown lamb; and a flock of hens for eggs. Our children Shelby, Tobyn, and Johnathan are very active in 4-H, while I am on the board of directors and my husband Jim is a leader. Tobyn (16) is working towards his Eagle Scout distinction with our local Boy Scout troop. Shelby (18) is off to Kansas State University to study agronomy and animal science in a double major. Johnathan (8) loves fishing, bicycling, taking care of his bunnies, and keeps us all on our toes. Jim is a swine nutritionist with Kent Nutrition Group and enjoys helping producers efficiently feed our nation’s bacon obsession. I love my position as an associate veterinarian in a very busy small animal private practice in Fort Wayne, and occasionally do large animal work at home on our own sheep, horses, and pigs. We all enjoy traveling, especially to see my family on Kauai. Wendy Fuller: I

moved to North Carolina last October to be near my boyfriend. I am settling into the unofficial role of “stepmom” as his teenage daughter lives with him. I now understand the term “soccer mom!” It was so fun to share Catalina stories with them after we ran into Fiona Dabney Grandi on Union Street in San Francisco. After almost 10 years with Cochlear Americas, they supported the move and prompted me to a newly created role covering the Carolinas and Virginia. Tara Howley Hudson and her girls, Esme (11) and Oona (8), enjoyed a trip to Croatia this summer, complete with a stopover in Paris, a seven-day walking tour of Istrian Peninsula, and chill time on a small island in the Adriatic. She says, “It is very fun to have kids who are old enough to really enjoy travel.” And that, “Being in Paris made me think of McKenzie (Pindy) Childs McKee and Nicole Carelli Kwak as we all lived there after college. I talked to Nicole not long before heading to Paris and she was about to head across the Atlantic and would be stopping to see Pindy in Ireland. Otherwise it’s life as usual as a stay-athome mom in Sonoma County. In July I am doing a stage reading of a brand new play at a sweet little theatre in Santa Rosa. I am so excited that I actually hauled the script all over Europe with me, and I am also getting excited for reunion!” Jen Pratt: Life is good around the city, still love San Francisco. Gabriella and I do spend time in Phoenix in the spring and recently got to hang out with Jackie Sharpe Guy and her husband, Brian, while they were in town. I also got to see Julie Wilber over the summer; she and Patrick and the animals are all loving upstate New York. It was good to have her back in the city for a little while! I also get to see Serena Bennett Padian often. Her kids Maddie (16), Jack (14), and Will

(13) are all doing great even if I can’t believe how old they all are! Fiona Dabney Grandi and I met for a hike recently and it was awesome to get a chance to catch up and hear about all the goings on in her family. Leslie Palmer Meyer and her daughter Georgia (13) came through S.F. on their way to Catalina’s camp and I got a chance to see them for a quick bite. Leslie hasn’t changed even a little. I look forward to our reunion and hope to see everyone there!

Sarah Lewis Boyle: My boys, Sawyer (6) and Spark (3), started kindergarten and preschool, giving me some welcome free time to focus on my interior design business, which has grown tremendously over the last year. My husband, Shawn, is still doing his part to protect our air and keep it clean; he’s doing a great job “getting bad guys” (the polluters)! If we’re not working you’ll find us outside somewhere—at the beach, riding bikes, or hiking at “The Ranch.” Yana Collins Lehman: My oldest, Beckett, starts high

Kimberly Bedwell Smith ’88 with her family in Hawaii

school in the fall. Our family took a trip to Iceland this summer, which felt like being on the moon, incredible topography. We look forward to seeing Mariesa “Mouse” Baiz every year at Mel’s Diner for cheeseburgers and shakes. I’m president & COO of a film and TV finance company with offices in N.Y. and L.A. and I’m always looking for “Catalina”-style talent, so get in touch if you have people to recommend who are interested in the business of entertainment. (Ed note: Yana also just came in first place in her age group in the Jersey Girl Triathlon!) Dawn Chan: My daughter started her first year of boarding school in the UK last September. I have also moved to London to stay near her. As I’m new to the city, there’s so much to see and to explore. I go to bible study fellowship every week and I finally got baptized last month. I take short art courses during spare time, go to concerts, musicals, museums, plus there’re many friends visiting. Renee Bitter Nelson: We just finished a three-week cross country (AZ to PA) road trip and went straight into double cheerleading practice and soon a Girl Scout Troop travel weekend. We had brief relief before our event-filled cross country adventure, after an extended cookie season, roller hockey tournaments, and softball championship games. I guess with travel-loving parents, a hockey/softball coach for a dad, and a cheer team mom and Girl Scout leader for a mom, the girls definitely get their share of activities. Alicia Read Hoggan: After moving around a great deal for my husband’s work, we are living in the Memphis area and recently bought a home in Germantown, TN. I am a stay-at-home mom and love being with my two (future Catalina I hope!) girls, Reece (6) and Carys (5). I also stay busy with volunteering with school and mothers’ groups. We do get home once or twice a year and love our time in Carmel, but are really enjoying living in the South. We have plenty of space so if anyone is ever out this way please let me know. Ana Garza: This year has been wonderful, raising our five boys. Our oldest will start his senior year in high school, and our youngest is entering second grade. We still live in Monterrey, Mexico, and our kids study here. This coming school year my third son will study his

eighth grade year in a boarding school in Deerfield, MA. Annie Coppel: I spent this summer in San Diego and saw Yolanda Orrantia ’91, Maria Juarez ’91, Alejandra Leon Letamendi ’91, and Karla Fimbres ’93! It was nice to see them all! My family is doing great and I have two daughters that graduated from Catalina: Regina Gonzalez Coppel ’14 and Monse Gonzalez Coppel ’15. They are now studying at the university in Mexico City and every week they get together with their Catalina friends Monika Gaxiola Artola ’16, Emilia Letamendi Juarez ’16, Ana Ma Zamora Ibarra ’16, and Vanessa Llausas Diaz ’16. I also have four boys that keep me very busy with soccer and golf games! In March, we had the Latin American chapter in Culiacan, Mexico, for the first time and we got together a few Catalinans. It was so nice to see them all and talk about the improvements that Catalina has had in the last years! Augustina Stevens: I am still living in Fresno and working for my family’s business. My daughter, Georgia, is about to enter seventh grade. I just recently spent two weeks in Italy on the Amalfi Coast in my best friend’s wedding and had a fabulous time. It’s so nice to still keep in touch with everyone, so keep the news coming!

Susan Lee: In October 2016, my beloved dog, Ka’ila, passed away. I miss her every day and am honored that she got to meet Sister Claire and Sister Christine. I worked in Vancouver, Canada, on a shoot and it was a great experience. I met up with Michelle Elliott when she attended a conference there! Last fall, I also met up with Chelsea Haga Fallon for sushi when she visited Los Angeles. It’s such a treat to enjoy good food with old friends. If anyone is in the So Cal area let me know. Tamsin Foster Cope: Damian and I bought a house in Crowthorne a little over a year ago. The boys have settled in well and we are enjoying having the in-laws nearby for support and babysitting. I went to our 25th Reunion in March and had a brilliant time seeing everyone. All the women who attended have led such varied and interesting lives and I’m so proud to know them. I can’t wait for the 30th!

Alumnae at the Mexico chapter gathering: Annie Coppel ’90, Alejandra Leon Letamendi ’91, Gretchen Mueller Burke ’83, and Maria Juarez Letamendi ’91; standing: Sofia de Rueda ’05, Sofia Pablos ’98 Patricia de Saracho ’90, Monica Machado ’95, and Cristina Coppel ’02

Heather Wasser Tobacco heatherwasser@hotmail.com

Hillary Escher Foster: We moved to London in March and are really loving our new city. Lots to see and explore. Layne Swanson Moss: I’m a nurse in Austin, TX, and I love my job! I just wrapped up a week in Tahoe with family and friends. I met up with Lauren Meek Jarrett and her two beautiful babies. We had a great time catching up, hiking, and swimming in the frigid waters of Tahoe for a couple days. I also met up with Amy Smith Ainscough last October while she was in Austin. Neither one has changed a bit!

Piper (15) is getting ready to drive and start high school in the fall. Bode (13) is still busy with sports, friends, and so far it’s still cool to hang out with Mom and Dad. Casey and I are celebrating 16 years of marriage in October. Life is good!

Zakia Young: I am still living and working in Berkeley. Melanie O’Donnell Morgan: Kids are doing great: Jackson (9), Letter (5), Spencer (4). I love gardening and growing blackberries, and vacationing in Mexico any chance we get. Miss everyone! Alexa Flores-Hull: Still working online with K12. We went to N.Y. for two weeks and visited Merritt Minnemeyer. The rest of the time

Dawn Chan ’90 with her daughter

was spent at a week-long baseball tournament for Blake’s team at Cooperstown Dreams Park in Cooperstown. Laura Mulloy Ault: I live with my husband, Andrew, in New Canaan, CT, and am an executive creative director at an ad agency in New York. Three dogs, very happy with life, vehemently anti-Trump. Christina Gilstrap Pascual: José Antonio and I met in grad school at Purdue in Indiana, where we welcomed three of our four daughters: Belén (14), Lucía (12), María-Elena (8), Verónica (5). After a 10-month stint in Amish Country, which was really fascinating, we have been living in Charlotte, NC, and have loved learning about all things Carolinian, especially our getaways to charming Charleston. I’m now a secular discalced Carmelite and have taken my temporary promises with the Our Lady of Mt. Carmel community. It is essentially a spiritual vocation for lay people called to serve the Church through contemplative prayer in action. We’re currently anticipating a long-awaited move to Spain where we hope to refurbish a semi-abandoned villa in a village outside of Madrid and are eager to begin this new chapter of family adventure! Audra Henry: I heard from Tomoyo Yamaguchi Wattez and she is enjoying a fun-filled summer with her adorable son, Keito (5)! She sends her love to everyone.

Khadija Coley-Mason: I am prepping for my daughter to go to high school and I’m going back to school with a focus on human resources. Still busy planning weddings and special events.

Natalie McCaskill Crockett: My husband, Jim, and I have begun taking dance classes. We are learning swing and waltz. My love to everyone!

Sylvia Chao: I live in Taipei, Taiwan, with my husband, Felix, and three kids, and our dog, LeLe. My oldest daughter, Katrina (16), and son, Nathen (14), are both be attending the Peddie School in

NJ, this September. Life at home will be totally different with the two older ones at boarding school, leaving Tristan (9) the only kid at home. Yukkio Matsumura: I work at Conrad Osaka, newly opened in June. If anybody is planning a trip to Japan, there’s a place to be! Erin Leonard Reyes: After 10 years living in the Silicon Valley, I just moved to Bath, England, with my husband and three children. We are loving the lifestyle change, pace of life, and all the visitors coming through! It’s been quite an adventure so far and we couldn’t be more excited about our new life in Bath! Aimee Brinks Muth: Teaching third grade and job sharing. Mom to Camille (9), Tristan (6), and Colette (5) who dance, swim, and play baseball and football. Nicole Gilman Morrison: We have settled in Tennessee where I work in the finance department at Nissan North American headquarters. Mindy Gutierrez Whaley: My family and I are still living in San Rafael, CA. I am still an RN manager, now working for Sutter Health. I am currently finishing up my master’s degree in nursing. The kids are now ages 9 and 5. The little one starts kindergarten in the fall. Dana Leidig: I am currently the director of a child care center here in Monterey. In my free time I teach Zumba all over the community. I am coming up on my 10-year anniversary as a Zumba instructor. I don’t have kids but my pet Iguana, Katin, turns 20 this year. She was given to me as a birthday present back in 1997. She’s been privileged to travel up and down the California coast with me every time I get a chance to get out of town. Most people have dogs or cats, I have a reptile that is very well taken care of. Natalia Valpredo Fritz: Busy with three kids: Cannon (13), Bianca (11), and Leo (7). Love living in Sonoma County. Clay and I own Fritz Winery & Old Redwood Brewing. I started my own business and developed a sweet potato tomato sauce. Cannon loves most team sports (baseball, basketball, and football) and has excelled at playing the trumpet. Bianca figure skates competitively. Leo is our third kid, so he is a professional spectator. Sara O’Neil Miller: We’re living in Norfolk, VA, now—the largest fleet concentration areas for the Navy. I’m still working as a JAG, and I am currently working for a Cyber-specific command, but the legal issues are pretty much the same. We have two daughters: Samantha (4) and Isabel (4 months). My husband is ramping up for deployment next spring/summer, so we don’t have much on the horizon until after he gets back. Tere Gonzalez: After taking a sabbatical from my law firm in 2010, I ended up changing my career path and started working in hospitality. My love of food and business expertise from being a lawyer turned out to be very useful in this industry. I managed a boutique hotel for two years, which was unimaginably crazy. I had no idea how to do it and I learned along the way. While there, I was recruited for a managing director position for a business club and I’ve been here for almost four years. Since I’ve been here, I’ve hosted three Catalina alumnae gatherings and I’ve met other Catalinians that I had never met before. I see Ivonne Diaz Brown ’95 and Karla Cuellar de Ramos regularly. Catalina ties holding strong

and I am godmother to one of Ivonne’s daughters and one of Karla’s. And since I don’t have kids, I feel very special having these two in my life.

Audra Henry: I am very excited to be starting a new career this year after graduating with honors in holistic nutrition. Currently, I am leading a nutrition program at a Christian nonprofit in Venice, CA, called Harvest Home, which specializes in rehabilitating homeless pregnant women. I also am starting my own nutrition consulting practice and am an ambassador for Plexus, a health and wellness supplement company. The best part about it is that I get to be Plexus business partners with Heather Wasser Tobacco, who I saw at our Vegas convention last month—so much fun! We also bumped into Aimee Brinks Muth and had a mini-Catalina girl reunion. I am currently greatly looking forward to a long overdue return to Europe with my wonderful boyfriend, Craig, at the end of the summer! Amy Smith Ainscough: We are living in northern England. Henry (11) just made the NW English regional under-14 water polo team. Georgia (9) is learning everything Taylor Swift on the ukelele and kicking up a storm in Shotokan. I am working toward gaining my graduate gemologist degree from the GIA in London. Rocco is expanding his industrial real estate business and we just bought a boat for cruising Lake Windermere. We were fortunate enough to have seen quite a few classmates in 2016-17. Hilary Escher Foster and husband Tyler joined us at a charity ball in Manchester with Melissa Mulvihill Roberts and husband Ralston. A few months later we enjoyed the company of Laura Mulloy Ault and her husband Andrew in N.Y.C. Laura is still as zany and creative as ever. Later last year I met up with Layne Swanson Moss in Austin who still flashes that wiley smile while telling an entertaining story. Merritt Minnemeyer Flynn: Last fall I married a wonderful man, Tom Flynn, and following that wonderful event, Tom adopted my three boys. The family is now lovingly called the Flock of Flynns. Jeni Harr Tonnis: We (temporarily) relocated to Bristol, UK, a year ago and are adoring the ability to travel throughout Europe and North Africa, but are not as enamoured with the British weather. We’ll be

Diana Treviño’86, Maru Garza ’86, Gretchen Mueller Burke ’83, Tere Gonzalez ’94, Karla Cuellar de Ramos ’94, and Ivonne Diaz Brown ’95

Audra Henry ’94, Aimee Brinks Muth ’94, and Heather Wasser Tobacco ’94 in Las Vegas

heading home in another year or so. Happily we found a lovely girls school for Abigail—it immediately reminded me of Catalina. Heather Wasser Tobacco: I still live in Boise with my husband and son, Trace (5), who is starting kindergarten next year. We love it here! I have recently changed directions in my career and resigned from teaching after 15 years. I have started an incredibly exciting business in the health and wellness industry. I plan to go back to school and become a holistic health coach.

Melissa Babitzke Wolfe: We had a new addition to our family in June: Parker Isabella Wolfe. She is the latest addition to the Wolfe family and big brother, Jackson, and big sister, Addison, are loving her! Megan MacDonald: I’m living in the beautiful Pacific Northwest and loving it. Grateful to have celebrated with many Catalinians at the wedding of Cat Hawley last summer, and recent reconnections with Helen Allrich McClenahan and Gin Cromie. I loved meeting younger Catalina grads at the Seattle alumnae chapter gathering this year, too! Come visit Seattle! Adrienne Harris Mindel: My husband, Eric, and I welcomed our second son, Aaron, in September 2016. He is a happy little dude and loves crawling after his big brother, Cylas. We are still living in Los Angeles, where I spend my time writing as much as my kids will let me. My producing partners and I are currently developing a TV show for AMC/Sundance that I’m hoping to be writing on this fall. I love visiting my family in Monterey and seeing Cat Hawley and catching up with Megan MacDonald as often as I can. I’m looking forward to next year’s reunion. Norma Marquez Martinez: Armando and I are still living in Mexico City with our four kids: Julieta (5), Eugenia (4), Armando (3), and Rodrigo (2). They keep me busy. Can’t wait for reunion next year and see a lot of you. Maria Teresa Creasey: Living in London with my husband and our baby boy, Charles. My husband is with the Fidelity Foundation and doing music for film and TV and I busy myself with acting and voiceover work. Looking forward to reunion! Megan Taormino McFarland: I live in San Anselmo with my husband, Jeff , and son, James (3½). We are enjoying life in the suburbs and are expecting another baby boy in September. Langley Kreuze: I’m still living in Sacramento with my husband. My firm has taken over a Social Security disability firm in Carmichael, so I’m split between there and Stockton now. My parents are back in Lodi, so it is nice to be close to them. In November, we are all headed to Thailand to meet up with our China contingent: my brother Julien, his wife Molly, and their baby boy. Looking forward to time with them, and with my sister, Jeanette Kreuze ’03, who will be coming to meet us from her home in New York. Looking forward to reunion next year!

Thank you to Brigitte Kouba Neves for serving as one of our class correspondents. She is moving on and Liz Belanger McGarvey is now be working with Susie Bokermann

Susie Bokermann: I moved to San Diego from Washington, D.C., in May. I haven’t lived in California since high school, and I’m loving it! If anybody is in the San Diego area, please reach out, I’d love to catch up. I am also getting married in September, which I am of course very excited about! Kelley Thomas Delpit: My husband, Andrew, and I welcomed our second daughter, Vivian Melinda, in February of this year. She joins big sister, Lila (2). We just moved and bought our first home in Portland, OR, and are enjoying life in the Pacific Northwest. We’ve had a busy first three years of marriage, but couldn’t be happier. Laura Del Santo Harter: My husband, Colin, and I welcomed our third daughter, Lucy. Her big sisters, Charlotte (5) and Addison (4), are over the moon.

Lindsay Goldsmith Millar: My husband, Wyatt, and I welcomed our son, Madden, in April 2016. We live in the Marina District of San Francisco, and often run into many Catalina girls in the neighborhood. I started a new job in February at NewVoiceMedia as the sales enablement director.

Cameron Fisher Buck : I married Darren Buck in July 2016. We honeymooned in Big Sur and on our way down stopped by Catalina for a great impromptu meeting with Sister Claire! Maryl McNally: I opened up my own law practice in Roswell in December of last year. In May of last year, I also started a nonprofit theater company dedicated to theater education for kids.

Jessica Knight-Graham: It has been a busy last year. A year ago in April, I had the privilege of

Christina Gilstrap Pascual ’94 with her family

officiating the marriage of Kathryn Hicks Lubich to my former roommate, Marcus, in San Diego. Last November, Patrick and I welcomed our second son, Pacen. Paxton is so very excited to be a big brother. Our family went to Australia, ringing in the new year at Circular Quay in Sydney. Jesse Lasseigne Nobel has come to visit a couple of times and it is great fun to see her. She is a big fan of our local softball team. I have several workfrom-home businesses, which allow me to spend time with my family and still keep very busy. I do regional event planning and I am starting a PR and marketing firm as well. Recently, I became an Herbalife distributor after trying the program and thoroughly enjoy the nutrition products, which I credit to helping me get back into the best shape I have been in since playing sports at Catalina. Brigitte Kouba Neves: My husband, Antonio, and I married in 2015 and welcomed our boy/girl twins in 2016. I just celebrated six years as a yoga studio owner and have been creating a tremendous amount of content under the alias Gigi Yogini. I love cultivating a body positive community worldwide and have a blast staying in touch with Catalina friends via social media.

Laura Nicola: I still work in the nonprofit sector, serving as the special events coordinator and youth instructor at the Rancho Cielo Youth Campus in Salinas, CA. Here I have the opportunity to work with at-risk, low-income youth (ages 16-24) as they earn their high school diplomas and develop job skills. I also manage the volunteer program, and assist with fundraiser opportunities. I spend my free time swimming, cycling, and travelling! Elizabeth Orr: I’m living in Brooklyn and had my second solo show for a gallery in the Lower East Side, which included a video installation and glass sculptures. I have been giving a number of talks this past year, including at the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam and The Swiss Institute in N.Y.C. I just released my first large-scale short film, Mt. Rush, which has been screening internationally. Lucky enough to have the rare opportunity to chill with Cascade Wilhelm, Alexa Bartee, and Alex Rogers in California and hope to see more of you soon! So sad to miss the reunion. Andrea Robertson Guenther: I received my U.S. / Canadian dual citizenship, and I am now the proud owner of two businesses: a consulting firm providing communication and design support services for nonprofits, and a

board game store in downtown Vancouver, BC. Alexandra Rogers: I’m living in Marin County and working for Heath Ceramics in Sausalito, a beautiful mid-century ceramics factory built in the 40s and started by a woman (girl power!). I spent some time in Sicily researching my ancestry and experiencing the Sicilian way of life. I am now determined to find a way to move there. When I’m not travelling or living the factory life you can find me on the beaches of Point Reyes, kayaking, paddle boarding, and taking in all of Northern California’s wild beauty. If you’re ever in Sausalito, please come say hello! Amy Azevedo Mulgrew: I have been back at Catalina for one year now! I survived my freshman year—again! It is very fun to be right in the mix of all my favorite traditions. Easily my favorite day of teaching was on the Friday of Reunion Weekend. My sweet students were so excited to teach a computer science programming lesson to a room full of Catalina alumnae (mostly from the Class of 2002!). I want to thank my classmates for the support and encouragement in my first year of teaching. Come back and visit any time—not just for reunions. Ilse Riebe Colby: In June, Eli and I packed up the cat and dog and moved down to Carmel. I’ve kept my position as senior designer at Levi’s, and working remotely has allowed me more time to work independently on other freelance jobs.

Whitney Lynn Erickson: I earned entry into the Marriott President’s Circle (top 7% of sales/revenue associates with the highest percentage to goal for 2016 qualify) for North America and won a trip to Hawaii earlier this month.

We have been on Oahu for just over two years and will be here until March of 2018. Then we will pack our bags and will be on to our next stop in the Navy: Newport, RI. We have three children: Benjamin (6), Nicholas (4), and Allison (2). I am very fortunate to get to be a stay-at-home mom to them and they certainly keep us busy. Let me know if you are ever on Oahu this fall or in New England next year! Gina Intersimone Hayes: Still in Chicago working on my thesis. In spring, I assistant directed the Steppenwolf production of Straight White Men by

I am also getting married in October and looking forward to seeing some dear Catalina alum friends at the wedding! Veronica Cossio: During summer, I traveled through Spain with my husband and his family, and when we were walking through the barri gotic in Barcelona I crossed pathways with Lara Wheeler Devlin! This October we are expecting the arrival of our fourth baby, a boy! I loved seeing everyone this past reunion and missed the ones that couldn’t make it.

which has been a fun way to meet new people in San Francisco, while still playing at a competitive level. I also serve as a community leader of the S.F. Boys and Girls Club. This year I went to Cuba, which was an amazing opportunity to learn about their culture and explore. Highly recommend going!

Maeko Bradshaw: I just completed a graduate program at Portland State University and earned my master’s in book publishing. I have since moved back to South Lake Tahoe and am taking some time off to enjoy the summer. I hope to eventually find a job in the design field, ideally in the Reno/Tahoe area. But for now, I am getting in as much paddle boarding as possible, and spending my time out in the woods with my dog. Blair Evans: I switched jobs and started working at The Gap headquarters in January. I’m on their real estate strategy and analytics team for all Gap brands (Gap, Banana Republic, Old Navy, Athleta, Intermix) and have been really enjoying it so far. Since the retail industry keeps changing its strategy to please a more digital and price-conscientious shopper, it’s been a great opportunity to think outside the box! I’m also continuing to play lacrosse for the Olympic Club,

Katharine Garcia: I completed my first year in a school counseling graduate program at Boston University. I am currently doing an internship at a PreK through grade 8 public school in Somerville. I am anticipating graduating in the Spring of 2018! Michaela Scanlon: In the last year, I’ve graduated from a 200-hour yoga teacher training program and have begun teaching marginalized populations in San Jose, including young women in the juvenile justice system and adults with disabilities. I have also started taking prerequisite classes in preparation to return to graduate school for occupational therapy. Megan Bomar: I am currently working two jobs, one at Quail Lodge and the other as a dental assistant. On top of that, I am playing in two softball leagues and studying for the dental admissions test, which I will be taking in August. I have applied to several dental schools and will be awaiting responses early next year!

Devynn Wulstein: I’m a physics major at University of San Diego, and the only girl graduating with a physics degree next year—what a change of situation. I’ve been doing physics research since the first semester of my sophomore year. I was published in Optics Express and am currently writing another paper. Research is great, but when I’m not in a dark lab I’ve found that rock climbing is a fantastic pasttime. Next year I’ll be the president of my climbing team. I’m hoping to get my single pitch instructor certification in November. Allie Loomis: I am about to enter my fourth year at UC Irvine, where I am competing as a collegiate athlete on women’s water polo for the fifth ranked team in the nation. I recently received the NCAA Elite 90 Award for earning the top GPA as a collegiate student-athlete competing at the 2017 National Collegiate Water Polo Championships in Indiana. I am majoring

in business administration and a minor in film and media studies and am currently interning at UCI Applied Innovation, where I am contributing to the marketing and communications team for the entrepreneurial/startup company. Emma Russell: I am entering into my senior year at Bates College and am trying to figure out what I want to do with my life. I spent this past fall semester at Bates and made the Deans List for the third time which was a pleasant surprise. This past January, I started my study abroad experience. I flew to Stuttgart, Germany, and interned with the United States European Command while taking German language classes at night. My abroad program started in April in Munich, and ends in July. I have spent a lot of time with Anka Rauch and it has been great to reconnect with her! At the end of July, I plan on going back to Stuttgart and interning at the United States European Command until Bates starts in September. I plan on reviving my radio show at Bates—“The Hinge” (because everything turns on the hinge) so feel free to tune in on Sunday afternoons at 91.5 WRBC. I will also be representing my senior class in the Bates College Student Government. Next stop: the White House. Hannah Chee: Going in my freshman year at the University of Washington, I was expecting a smooth ride my next four years on the road to medical school. Now as I am entering my fourth and final year as an undergraduate, I can say that it’s been a bumpy ride filled with mistakes, failures, and moments of doubt. However, every moment thus far has changed me and molded me into who I am and who I want to become. I have been challenged to believe in myself once again and push myself past what I thought I was capable of. As I enter my fourth year at UW, I am focusing on staying true to myself while I excel forward toward the end goal, which is ultimately medicine. I am currently working in a research lab that focuses on the diversification

of jaw and skull bones in mammals, shadowing a cardiologist attending at the medical center, and volunteering with a group of individuals to provide medical assistance to the homeless community in and around Seattle. The pieces are slowly falling into place, and I have learned that no matter how challenging or difficult the road through school may be, if you continue to push forward and strive to be the best “you,” there is no limit to what you can achieve. Lauren Staples: I am in my last year of nursing school at the University of Portland in Oregon. Nursing school has really tested me mentally and emotionally, but I’ve been making it through. College has been tough: When I came back from school for summer after freshman year, I felt like everyone was having an amazing time at school and wasn’t struggling like I was. I pushed myself because I was a “Catalina girl,” and believed that I shouldn’t be having a hard time and that I needed to keep excelling like my peers. Even in a direct entry program, the environment here is competitive, and it can be hard not to get down on yourself. So I guess this note is to really encourage everyone in our class that it’s OK to say that college is totally kicking your butt and it’s difficult. I’ve learned a lot about myself and have had opportunities to focus on self care, which has been awesome. I love nursing—the material is so cool and I’ve gotten to do a lot of hands on care myself in my clinical rotations, including injecting medicines. I fell in love with psychiatric nursing, so I might want to do that as my future career! Ines Borromeo: This summer I am excited to be living in New York City. I am working for a nonprofit called Friendship Ambassadors Foundation. Being a part of the logistics team, our big project is planning for the 2017 Summer Youth Assembly that is held at the U.N. at the end of the summer. I am looking forward to seeing all our hard work pay off in August, but in the meantime, I enjoy working with wonderful people and the exposure I am getting. Please check out FAF and what they do! Rhianna La Chance: My junior year at UPenn has been challenging, yet fulfilling and full of valuable experiences outside of the classroom. I’m learning a lot and am grateful for Catalina for instilling in me a sense of confidence and poise as a female in STEM. I am currently finishing up my bachelor’s in mechanical engineering, where I spend most of my time building things, drinking coffee, and baking. I am also super excited to have been accepted to the Integrated Product Design (IPD) program studying in the school of engineering, Penn Design, and Wharton where I will pursue a master of science in engineering in IPD by Spring 2019. Blair Miller: I am studying music business at Belmont University in Nashville, TN. I spent this past semester in Los Angeles interning at Scooter Braun Projects (the management company for Justin Bieber, Ariana Grande, Tori Kelly, Usher, etc.) and Atlantic Records. I have also accepted a job as the Grammy U Representative for The Recording Academy, so I will be the link between the Grammys and college students. Since I am a music business major, I have been working music

Starring Jimmy Fallon, where she is a research intern

industry events such as the Grammys, CMA Fest, and the CMA Awards. I am currently managing one singer/songwriter and interning at CrowdSurf, a music business social media marketing firm.

Brooke Butterworth: I am working at a tennis academy, as well as a fitness internship at Crunch Fitness. I am also working the desk at Crunch while pursuing sports psychology and applying to grad school. I am on the tennis and diving team at Ohio Wesleyan (captain of both), and am looking forward to my senior year. Kylie Moses: This summer I am living in the Bay Area and back for the second summer interning at Sephora’s corporate office! I currently work in recruiting and employer branding with Yvette Merchant Nichols ’96 and Kelly Robbins Huddleston ’99. I have learned so much during my two summers at Sephora and I looking forward to pursuing a career in employer branding or marketing after I graduate next year from UNC Chapel Hill. In other news, I also studied abroad last semester in Dublin, Ireland, and had the privilege of traveling to over 14 different countries in Europe! It was an unforgettable experience and now that I’ve caught

the travel bug, I can’t wait to go back and visit Spain and Portugal next summer with my family and my mom Judy McDonald Moses ’86! Janet Kiboneka: I am currently a research intern at The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon ! The research intern works with the show’s researchers and is responsible for updating notes from the previous shows and updating guest files for any upcoming guests. Working here at The Tonight Show and in N.Y.C. has been an absolute dream!

Sarah Blake: Catalina could not have prepared me better for college life or college academics. The rigor I experienced at Catalina helped me tremendously, and I miss the amazing teachers I had all four years. Jennifer Nguyen: Moving to Boston has been such a change compared to life in Monterey but I love the weather and the people. I have been living in Vietnam with family this summer and spending as much time with them as I can before I head back to Boston University in September. Lucy Stowe: I loved living in Boston this past year and getting to experience life in the city. This summer I have been living in San Diego and traveling to the East Coast to visit with friends and family.

The Legacy Campaign

Since its founding, Santa Catalina has pursued a vision to create a stronger, better school that is equipped to prepare students for a lifetime pursuit of excellence, service, responsibility, and spirituality. The Legacy Campaign is a $50 million initiative for facilities and endowment that will touch people in all areas of school life and allow our school to maintain its position as an educational leader. Many people in the community came forward to support the campaign before this vision reached its full expression. Still others made gifts and pledges, as well as a commitment to work on the campaign, during the past year.

With much gratitude for their belief in us, we have raised nearly $35 million toward our goal. Significant projects have been completed in the Lower and Middle Schools, the new Upper

School Math and Science Center opened for classes in January 2016, and the new Head of School house was completed in July 2016. Most recently, the Lower and Middle School community came together to complete funding for the expansion and refurbishment of classrooms 1, 2 and 3. The new classrooms welcomed students at the opening of the 2017-18 school year.

The Legacy Campaign represents a pivotal moment in the history of our school. The fundraising goal is ambitious, and the effort will benefit Santa Catalina students for years to come. We are grateful to those listed here for responding to our vision with generosity and interest; you have inspired us with your commitment. We could not ask for better partners in this endeavor.
