Valerie Saxton Sharpe writes: I enjoy reading about my fellow alums and seeing their many amazing accomplishments. I recently co-authored a book, with Roberta Strosnider, titled The Executive Function Guidebook: Strategies to Help All Students Achieve Success. It was published by Corwin in April, and the ISBN number is 9781544379289. I received my B.A. in Special Education in May, 1976 from Hood. Dr. Carla Lyon was my advisor with whom I continue to remain friends. My program at Hood prepared me well and opened the doors to many wonderful opportunities. One such opportunity was the privilege of serving as adjunct faculty at Hood for many years. After a full career in the field, I am still involved in special education currently as a consultant providing training in teaching executive function skills to psychologists, social workers, teachers, paraeducators, parents and students. David and Linda Fox-Jarvis are doing well in Virginia Beach. Linda has been practicing real estate for 36 years. She recently moved to Berkshire Hathaway Towne Realty. Her daughter Stephanie joined her as partner about ten years ago. It really is special working with family and passing along the business. Stephanie has a real talent for the field. David retired about two years ago. He keeps busy with projects around the house, golfing, and watching their 18-month-old granddaughter once a week. Speaking of their granddaughter, Carter Wynne has changed their lives! Most of you know — being grandparents is so much fun! Linda and David’s daughter and son-in-law live less than a mile away (which is so nice). Their son, Brian, lives with his wife in Fairfax and works for Amazon Web Services, so he is not too far away either. Linda and David are looking forward to a family trip in August to Oregon to celebrate their 40th wedding anniversary. Both kids, their spouses, and Carter Wynne will be joining. If anyone is visiting Virginia Beach, give Linda a call! Mary Alice Peeling’s big news is that she retired from Delaware Law School Library on June 30th—after almost 40 years. She looks forward to having time to volunteer, see friends and catch up on quilting projects. Congratulations, Murie! Barb Woolmington and Craig have finally started building their new (and final) home in Weaverville, NC. It is a small community about fifteen minutes north of Asheville. They love Asheville … but apparently so do many other people. The traffic all around the city is getting more congested every year. The Smiths left California for several reasons, heavy traffic being one of them. They didn’t want to repeat that in their new community, so they decided to head a little out of the city—but not so far that they cannot pop in for an evening of dinner and theater. They went to St Croix, USVI in March and were able to visit with Brad and Gail Lippert Ebersole while there. Lovely sailing and just a little snorkling. In May the Smiths traveled to Los Angeles to visit their youngest and to help celebrate his 30th birthday. Both of Craig and Barb’s children are doing well, Harrison is in Los Angeles and Alisha is in Portland, OR. Both are gainfully employed, but there are no grandchildren yet. They stayed on the West Coast when Barb and Craig moved east, so they don’t get to see them as often as they would like. Their new home will have a lovely guest room for anyone who wants to visit Asheville and would like a place to stay. Larry and I, Nancy Ludwick Warrenfeltz, flew to Los Angeles in April for a Navy reunion in Thousand Oaks. We visited the Ronald Reagan Library, Malibu, Hollywood, and Solvang. It was a fun trip! Every June we spend two weeks at OBX with family … priceless memories with our grandkids! Please email me your Hood news. I will include it in the next publication. Thanks!

Kathy Anderson Jewell’s husband, Chip, retired on December 31, 2017 from Frederick County Government.  He is now president of their local fire department and writes for several publications.  They both enjoy “grandparent care” days with their 5 grandkids – which certainly keeps them young.  Chip and Kathy traveled to Switzerland in September 2018 and were on a “Switzerland by Rail” tour put together by Trains Magazine.  They had great weather, great traveling companions, and great views from the top of the Swiss Alps. David and Linda Fox-Jarvis are doing well in Virginia Beach.  David has retired for the second time as of last December.  He retired from the Navy after 20 years in 1993 and then retired from BAE systems after 24 years. Linda continues working hard, full-time in real estate.  Their daughter, Stephanie, joined Linda about 10 years ago as her partner in real estate and 3 years ago they purchased a RE/MAX franchise – RE/MAX Coast & Country.  Linda had the best year ever in 2018 and loves working with her daughter.  Linda & David welcomed their first grandchild into the world in January 2018.  Carter Wynne is truly the center of their world.  Their son Brian is married and lives in Fairfax Virginia. He is in management with Amazon Web Services.  Linda and David feel very blessed. Jane Olsen travelled with friends to South America, specifically Chile and Argentina.  They toured the Chilean coast on an adventure cruise, the highlight of which was seeing Magellanic penguins nest building on a small island in the Chilean fjords while sitting in a zodiac in the middle of a driving snow storm.  Jane highly recommends Chile.  The people are very friendly and the scenery is spectacular. Lynn Furtek Eubanks writes: 2018 was a year of ups and downs. She lost her brother Robert in July. (Bob was married to Emily Gibbs Furtek ’75). Then Lynn spent an incredible week with the kid and the granddaughters … first time in years! Then had an incredible trip to Egypt in early December followed by an extended Christmas celebration in NJ with all four children and five of their six grandchildren! Michele Smith Guyette: For Michele, it was the first full year of being retired from teaching. The vast majority of her working days were spent as an hourly sign language interpreter. She now works for several different interpreting agencies, Madison school district and UW Madison and LOVES it! She feels like she’s “a student in the classroom of life.” She’s constantly learning, experiencing and meeting new and interesting people. She enjoys gardening, learning how to keep bees, walking with her neighbor, biking (on an E-bike…the only way to keep up with husband Paul) and going on an occasional camping trip with Paul and friends. She’s also been getting acquainted with the Bible. Michele now knows what retired people mean when they say they are busier than when they worked full time. She occasionally finds a spare minute … but then forgets where she put it. Paul’s year included flying to Claremont, CA with Michele in May for their daughter Madeline’s graduation, then driving back to Wisconsin in her car, visiting friends and stopping in antique shops on the way. In August, Paul was drafted into “Madeline’s Movers” and flew to California to help settle her into her apartment. Torie Hoveman Seeger writes of many changes this past year. Husband Geoff had major surgery for which they were not prepared, but has come out of it beautifully and they feel very fortunate!  Their son Ben finished 10 years with the Army National Guard Reserves and is working at a major medical research company as a mechanic.  He loves everything about the job.  His three daughters (grandkids 11, 7, and 3 years) are doing very well.  They were able to take the oldest on vacation this year and she learned a lot about Grandma and Grandpa.  She admitted to her grandfather at the end of the trip that she didn’t think she was “the hiker you and Grandma are.” A real compliment to us coming from a healthy 11-year old! Last but not least, Torie retired.  January 18th was her last day of work. She will be finding all sorts of things to keep busy and will keep us posted once she’s had a chance to experience some of them. Susan Rivers retired from Maryland Department of Natural Resources on August 1, 2018 and is still getting used to being retired.

Jack and Lynn Furtek Eubanks hopped a cruise to Cuba that was absolutely phenomenal! They soaked up so much history …and some culture…that they were on overload. With luck, they will be returning on a slightly different itinerary to enjoy the trip again. Once they returned, Lynn turned around and flew to Vegas for her niece’s wedding…officiated by Elvis! Their eldest granddaughter graduated from college…and youngest from grade school. The Eubanks are looking forward to spending some time with them this summer, the only part they are not looking forward to is the drive up I-81 with all the trucks.

Susan Rivers will be retiring this summer. Her dear mother, Shirley Rivers Dudrow, died in August 2017. She worked at Hood in the Continuing Ed office in the 1980’s. She made many friends among the students and cared for them all. We all send our sympathy and love to Susan.

Deb Huff Nicholson reports that her big news is that she’s written a book. It’s a mystery entitled She Never Knew (by Deb Nicholson) published by Gatekeeper Press. It’s got a 5-star Amazon rating, so she’s happy to say that folks seem to be enjoying it! Book clubs have selected it and she has been making the rounds visiting them as a guest speaker. Remarkably, a local magazine, In the Triangle, has interviewed Deb about the book and the article will be featured in their late summer issue. This little project has turned out to be a huge amount of fun—so much so that she’s started her next book!

Craig and Barbara Woolmington Smith are loving Asheville, NC and loving retirement. They took a two week trip to the Outer Banks of NC in May. Neither Craig nor Barb had been there and they had beautiful weather (all while Asheville was setting record rainfall records). They learned a lot about the 18th and 19th century coastal communities and our maritime history.

Anna Collins Pasqualucci reports that she uncovered silly letters and mementos while she was cleaning out her house, so that her daughter could take ownership. They brought back vivid memories of her best friend and Hood roommate Ann Rhodes Conley, Reading Ann’s notes melted away all the years and it was as if Ann was still speaking to Anna in their dorm room, humorously calling Anna unbecoming, but endearing names. (Ann would have edited this update if she were still with us, just as she used to whittle down Anna’s English papers.) Here’s to you Ann Rhodes! Anna has chosen to live a gypsy life, alternating boarding at her son’s and her daughter’s. She remains engaged in painting folk art—window screen commissions—to be precise. An award from the Maryland State Arts Council Award for Maryland Traditions Folk Arts afforded her an opportunity to train an apprentice this year. They will be presenting at the 2018 National Folk Festival. Art has been a huge 180-turn around from her days in biotech research. She loved both. Life is ever changing and good. Anna wishes happiness and contentment for all.

Neil and Cheryl Kruse Rondorf celebrated their 40th wedding anniversary on April 8, 2018. A few weeks later, all their children gathered and surprised them with a beautiful breakfast brunch. They feel so blessed by God! Congratulations Cheryl & Neil!

Please send me your news and I will be sure to include it in our next column. Thanks!

Dave and Diana Hilgartner Boyd’s youngest son, Will, married Sarah Smith, June 2017 in Jackson, MS. Unfortunately, Sarah’s father was in a terrible boating accident six weeks before the wedding. He spent four weeks in ICU, and two weeks in rehab therapy. He miraculously was able to attend his daughter’s wedding for a few hours and dance the Father/Daughter dance with her. We are glad for the healing news! The wedding was beautiful. Congratulations to the Boyd family! Sandy Stingl Lee’s mother, Josephine Stingl passed away on October 5, 2017. She was 92 years old. We send our deepest sympathy and love to Sandy and her family. Michele Smith Guyette retired in June 2017 from teaching sign language. She taught at Madison La Follette High School for the past 23 years. Congratulations Michele! Larry and I, Nancy Ludwick Warrenfeltz, spent ten days in Hawaii this past October. It was great to be back and see how Oahu has grown. We loved touring the Island seeing the Dole Plantation, the famous Blowhole, National Memorial of the Pacific Cemetery, Manoa Heritage Center, Honolulu Art Museum, and Ford Island USS Battleship Memorials. It was a fun reunion with Navy friends! Aloha!

Kathy Anderson Jewell and husband Chip are happy to announce the birth of their granddaughter Isla Katherine Zoller, born to daughter Kristin and her husband Zack on May 1, 2017. Isla weighed 7 lbs. 4 ounces and joins her siblings, Nora (5) and Ian (3).  Isla is their fifth grandchild. Congratulations! David and Diana Hilgartner Boyd are happy to announce the marriage of their son, Will, on June 10, 2017 in Jackson, MS.  Diana will report more in the next issue. Congratulations to the Boyd family! Margaret Lindsay Doyle attended State University of New York PolyTech graduation in Albany, NY in May.  As Maggie was leaving, she passed a woman with her PhD robe. She was speaking to someone and Maggie overheard her saying, “Well, I got my undergraduate degree from Hood College!” Maggie immediately whipped around and said, “You are kidding! I graduated from Hood College. What year?” She replied,”1988, it was still all women!”  Maggie smiled and said, “Hood Class of 76!” Small world! Jane Olsen M.A. ’78 writes: “If anyone paid attention to the In Memoriam section of the Hood Magazine last issue, they will know that Judith Howe passed away 12/31/2016.  What some may not have known was that Judy & I were together for 42 years and legally married for three.  Judy was too ill for us to attend our 40th reunion.  I’m adjusting to her passing.” Our classmates send our deepest sympathy to you, Jane. Lois Vandermark Moore’s father Robert Vandermark, Sr. passed away on February 4, 2017.   We send our deepest sympathy and love to Lois and her family. Barbara Woolmington writes: Last time I reported we retired and were moving to Asheville NC… well we have arrived and settled into a rental home in a small suburb in West Asheville.  We are enjoying the wonderful restaurants, beautiful hiking trails and new friends.  Everyone is very friendly and many come from somewhere else, so they know what it is like to be new in the neighborhood.  I have joined a book group and the local athletic club to keep my body and mind in shape.  Craig went on Medicare last month and is pleased so far with the good service he is getting.  I hope I don’t have many medical needs for the next two years until my Medicare time arrives.  Larry and I had a wonderful trip to San Antonio in April. We enjoyed the Riverwalk, Market Square, the Alamo and the Missions. So much to do in that beautiful city! We are looking forward to our annual beach trip to OBX with our kids and grandkids in June.

Chip and Kathy Anderson Jewell celebrated their 40th wedding anniversary Aug. 7, 2016, with a wonderful dinner and wine tasting at the Antrim Inn in Taneytown, MD. The next Friday, they took off on a 23-day road trip to Yellowstone National Park, Bismarck, ND, Roosevelt National Park, and the Little Bighorn Battlefield National Historic Site in MT. A highlight was a day spent on the Beartooth Highway with amazing views, scary switchbacks and a picnic by a lake. They enjoyed baseball in Minneapolis and Kansas City and took in presidential museums in Independence, MO, and Springfield, IL. Weaving their way back through WY, NE, MO, IL and IN, the journey put 5,670 miles on their car. Anne Fairweather Harper’s life in Santa Ana, CA, continues to treat her family well. This past year she was spoiled with great travel adventures. A week in NYC in February, a week in Austin, TX, in April, a week in Playa del Carmen, Mexico, in June, a week at the beach in La Jolla, CA, in August and two weeks cruising the Mediterranean with her mother and sister in October! Anne is thrilled to say that youngest daughter Emily is seven years out on her bone marrow transplant. Despite some significant medical issues, she maintains a very positive attitude and is beginning to enjoy the life of a typical young woman in her mid-20s. Oldest daughter Courtney completed her master’s degree at UC Irvine and is teaching high school English at Orange County School of the Arts. She loves it. With her theater background, she fits right in with many of her students in the acting and performance conservatories. Jim and Anne celebrated their 31st wedding anniversary in July. Anne is looking forward to NYC for a week in February and hoping to catch “Hamilton” while there. The Rev. Carol A. Fleming, P’07, P’09 is alive and well and still living in Kingston, PA, as pastor of Church of Christ Uniting. They welcomed their third grandchild this summer, Brooks Nicholas Beavers—whose mother is Charis Loomer Beavers ’07, M.S.’13. Brooks joins her cousins, Raegan, 2, and Isabella, 2, whose father is Garrett Loomer ’09. Life is full and good! Diana Hilgartner Boyd says that the reunion last summer was the best! She loved reconnecting with so many of our classmates. Dave and Diana spent Thanksgiving in Colorado Springs with oldest son AJ. He’s working at Peterson AFB and loves Colorado. The Boyds’ daughter, Kirsten, is transitioning from church musician to public school music teacher in Fairfax County, VA, where Diana started her teaching career. Son Will is in Jackson, MS, finishing up his MBA and trying to decide if he should return to the Navy as an active reserve officer, or find work in the civilian world. The Boyds are happy in Champaign, IL. If any of you are passing through, they’d love to host you or better yet, give you a ride in Dave’s home-built Pietenpol Camper airplane! Maggie Lindsay Doyle also says the reunion was wonderful. She had not been to one in at least 25 years. It was wonderful to see so many people and catch up. Life is so fast paced. It was wonderful to take a weekend and reflect and reconnect. The campus looks amazing. Michele Smith Guyette writes that for now, life is good. She’s in her 23rd year of teaching American Sign Language at La Follette High School in Madison, WI. She also teaches ASL at the University of Wisconsin, Madison during the summers. On the side, she interprets, including quite a few musical performances at the Overture Center in Madison and a fair amount of religious interpreting. She and husband Paul have a daughter, Madeline, who is a junior at Scripps College in Clairmont, CA. Madeline took after her mother and wanted to go to a woman’s college…and did so in sunny California! Paul and Michele will be visiting her in Denmark over Christmas, where she is just finishing up a semester abroad. Michele loves Wisconsin…in the spring, summer and fall (notice that she didn’t mention winter!). The Madison area has been a welcoming, interesting, positive experience-filled and lovely place to call home. Barbara Woolmington-Smith writes that she and Craig closed their business in CA, sold their home of 28 years in July and moved to Asheville, NC. Before finally settling down, they spent several months traveling the Western U.S. They spent three weeks on the Olympic Peninsula, WA, exploring the entire Olympic National Park, took a cruise in Alaska’s Glacier Bay National Park, went up to Banff and Jasper in Canada, then back into the US to visit the Grand Tetons, Zion, Canyonlands, Arches, Capitol Reef, Bryce, Mesa Verde and Chaco Canyon. It was a wonderful way to top off 40 years of hard work as a self-employed couple. Barb would definitely recommend that anyone visiting the national parks go during the off season and purchase a national park passport book. Stamp your book at the park’s visitor center for a permanent reminder of your visit. Of course, they took loads of photographs! The Smiths have a guest room available in Asheville. Larry and I renewed our passports and traveled to St. Lucia in October with our Naval Academy friends. It was such a fantastic trip at BodyHoliday resort! Thanks for the updates!

It doesn’t seem possible that 40 years have gone by since our graduation. The campus looked so beautiful. There were nearly 40 classmates in Frederick for our Hood Reunion in June. We had the largest group in attendance. It was great to catch up with everyone that could be there. Congrats to Kurt Holter for being awarded the Excellence in Service to Hood Award at the Saturday reunion luncheon. Well deserved, Kurt! For the last 10 years, Anna Collins Pasqualucci has enjoyed sharing the little known, century-old Baltimore folk art of painting window screens. Prior to starting her own business in art, Anna raised two children and worked in various cancer, agriculture, and pharmaceutical research laboratories. Her artwork can be seen at www.PaintedWindowScreens.com.  Diana Hilgartner Boyd: My husband Dave and I live in Champaign, Illinois. Airplanes have kept us in the Midwest for over 36 years. Dave taught flying at several colleges including the University of Illinois here in Champaign. We have two sons and one daughter who live in Colorado, Mississippi and Fairfax, VA respectively. Diana is guardian for her mentally handicapped brother Paul. The Hood connection is a wonderful part of this story. Several years ago, when the group home that Paul was living in was going to be closed down by Fairfax County, our Hood classmate Betsy Abel Schatz and her organization–Langley Residential Services–lovingly took over approximately four group homes that were in desperate trouble. Diana couldn’t believe her ears when Betsy called her to tell her that she was the director of the organization that was going to be responsible for Paul’s care! Betsy and her staff have been so wonderful to Diana’s brother and all of the other residents. What a blessing for Diana’s family that she attended Hood and by the grace of God, was friends with Betsy! Betsy has helped the Hilgartner family through some rough spots with Paul, including the death of both parents and major health concerns. Betsy’s wisdom and love have been amazing… Diana is so thankful! Linda Fox-Jarvis: After 34 years of being in the real estate business Linda decided to take the plunge and purchase her own RE/MAX franchise–RE/MAX Coast & Country–with her daughter Stephanie, who joined her in the real estate business seven years ago.  It has been quite exciting–both having her own shop, but also being partners with her daughter.  It is so rewarding for Linda to watch her daughter follow in her footsteps. From the family side, Stephanie (28 years old now) married three years ago and of course lives in Virginia Beach.  Son Brian is 31 years old, lives in Fairfax with his wife and works for Amazon Web Services.  Linda is very proud of him for many reasons–but most importantly because he has not let his disability define him. He has Muscular Dystrophy and it has progressed to where he uses a wheelchair, but in spite of that he has been very successful both in his personal life as well as business life. He is an inspiration to Linda.  Her husband, David, still is working for BAE systems in Norfolk and they continue to enjoy all that Virginia Beach offers along with their two dogs–Izzy (the schnauzer mix) and Wiley (the Westie). Torie Hoveman Seeger sends this update: “My husband has semi-retired and is working in his favorite big box store part-time, helps out a friend on occasion who owns a local funeral parlor and also does some consulting for a long-time business buddy. He stays busy with his photography and plans our vacations for us—he should be in the travel agency business. I’m still working at the Research Foundation for SUNY and still enjoying it. Looking at 65 for retirement but have made no commitments yet–we are very busy, which I enjoy and I love the folks I work with, so I’m not quite ready to leave. Our three granddaughters are our delight. So much fun to be with and provide for “adventures” (from going to the Bronx Zoo to a walk down the street–it’s always an adventure with grandchildren!)” Bob & Amy Locker Krug and Scott & Lois Vandermark Moore both celebrated their 40^th wedding anniversaries during the Hood reunion weekend. Congratulations! Susan Rivers, M.A.’81 reports: “Not much news, just working and thinking about retirement. I graduated from a leadership class that was very enjoyable and helps me in my job as Program Manager for Statewide Operations for Maryland Inland Fisheries Division. My mom has been dealing with health issues so that takes a fair amount of time. My dog and I walk through campus frequently and he loves to meet and greet the students.” Larry and I had a great time at the 40^th Hood Reunion. From there we drove to OBX for our annual family reunion. Both our kids families came, so we had fun with our 5 grandkids. We are blessed! Please email me your news. I will include it in the next issue. Thanks!

Always good to hear from our class. Here’s the latest news. Please email me your updates so I can include it next time. Thanks so much! Amy Locker Krug writes: I won’t be able to attend our June 2016 reunion. Our daughter Emily who lives in Texas will be in Pennsylvania that weekend for a wedding. We don’t see her that often, so we will be here to help around the wedding activities. My news is that I retired from teaching in June. I also retired from making costumes for the high school play. I plan to help, but not be in charge. I am enjoying my free time by remodeling our 25 year old kitchen, working in our gardens, reading, stitching and babysitting our grandchildren. This summer I was elder caregiving to Bob’s parents as they stayed at their summer house in Troy, New York for six weeks. It was peaceful and relaxing with various family coming up the weekends. Our daughter, Carrie will have her third baby (a girl) in February. This will be our 5th grandbaby. Bob and I will also celebrating our 40th anniversary on the Hood reunion weekend. We will be thinking of our classmates as you celebrate at our June reunion. Cheryl Kruse Rondorf writes: Neil & I had a great trip to Madrid, Spain in October. We experimented with getting a private room from the website Air BnB. We scored with a gracious hostess in the center of the city and had a great time exploring the sights. Neil had to start working with his undersea cable protection committee people the following week, but I continued to have many adventures. We found out while we were gone that our oldest son, Sean, had been selected to be pinned for E-7 in the Army (Sergeant first class.) I was able to drive down to Fayetteville, North Carolina, Ft. Bragg and watch this event take place and spend time with our four year-old granddaughter. I learned that the majority of the Army soldiers retire at E-6, so this made the promotion even nicer!Our second son is an 8th grade special education teacher in Colorado Springs. We went out to visit them this past June and welcome their second daughter and our 4th grandchild. I celebrated my 60th birthday November 2014 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania with our daughter, Kira, welcoming our third grandchild, a baby boy. Our youngest son and his wife live in Virginia Beach. I started a new hobby last summer when I bought an embroidery sewing machine. It has been fun learning all the different techniques. We are looking forward to Neil’s retirement next year, so we can spend more time with our grandchildren and various friends across the country. Barbara Woolmington-Smith reports…. No weddings, no grandbabies, still working (sigh), will try to get to our reunion. We are looking to sell our home in spring and downsize – possibly to the Sacramento area. My main occupation is figuring out how to down size all the “stuff” accumulated over 25 years of living in one house. Ebay is my best friend! Larry & I visited Scott & Lois Vandermark Moore in Woodbridge, Virginia. Larry & I attended his 40th USNA reunion in October. It was a record breaking turnout. We had so much fun reconnecting with classmates. Let’s do it again, this time for our Hood class reunion in June. Please mark your calendars for June 10-12. See you then!

Always good to hear from our class. Here’s the latest news. Please email me your updates so I can include it next time. Thanks! Kathy Anderson Jewell reported, “Just after the deadline for the summer issue, our daughter Kristin Jewell Zoller and husband Zack welcomed Ian Michael Zoller on July 24, 2014. Ian joins big sister Nora who is now 3. They recently moved to Bel Air, Md., into a lovely new home. My husband Chip was appointed to the new position of director/chief of the division of Volunteer Fire and Rescue Services for Frederick County, Md., in August 2013. He enjoys his new position and continues to be very busy. I keep active with a new position at our church. I am sewing for pleasure again and helping with the care of our four grandchildren. With all of them 3-years-old and under, it is wonderful to watch them grow and change.” Anna Collins Pasqualucci wrote, “My career in biotech has taken a 180 degree turn into folk art. After more than 25 years in cancer, agricultural and pharmaceutical research, I enjoy painting custom window screens, educating people about this Baltimore tradition and learning to become a web master for my new hobby. I look forward to annual May pilgrimages to OBX with my golden retriever and appreciate living a few miles from my son and his wife and my daughter. Artist member: www.PaintedScreens.org.” Maggie Lindsay Doyle and her husband Paul welcomed their first grandchild Grace Doyle Enslow born on January 20, 2015. Grace weighed 4 lbs. 12 oz. and is doing well for arriving early into the world! Congrats, Maggie and Paul! Donna Parker Bannwolf, P’17 wrote, “Our son Steven is attending Hood and is a sophomore. His favorite professor is Len Latkovski. It’s funny because my roommate Nan Clark had Dr. Latkovski when we were at Hood!  I visited with Len on campus and he is still very popular with the students, who stopped by to say hello in the student center. Also, I ran into Noel Lester at Brewer’s Alley with his kids and grandchildren. He was my music professor at Hood and is doing great–looks exactly the same. From my end, I just started a new job with the Frederick County Public Libraries as the corporate and community partnerships manager, managing public relations, marketing and partnerships for the library system. So far, so good! This is my third time living in Frederick. It seems a well-worn path between Texas and Maryland, for us.” Nancy Strangfeld Cauwenberghs enjoyed a weekend trip back to Frederick last November. They saw a show at the Weinberg Center for the Arts in downtown Frederick and had dinner at the Old South Mountain Inn in Boonsboro… sitting atop scenic, historic Turner’s Gap and still very quaint. They traveled to Harpers Ferry and to other local battlefields. Plus, they stopped at a Virginia Winery. Thanks for the news, Nancy! Sally Woomert Hinder and her husband live in Churchville, Md., where they have been for 37 years. Their children are grown and they have four grandchildren who they are blessed to see on a fairly regular basis. Sally has run a small business selling baked goods at the Bel Air Farmers Market on Saturdays for the past 18 years. In the winter, she substitute teaches in several of the Elementary schools. Barb Woolmington-Smith wrote, “Craig and I are still working, but our kids have moved out (or in one case almost moved out). We are thinking of selling our big house in a year or two so we can downsize. We both think getting out of the SF Bay Area earthquake zone would be a good idea, so we are looking at the Sierra foothills near Sacramento. We also own land in Western North Carolina and could move there, but I am not sure I want to leave California for the mountains of North Carolina. If anyone out there reads this and wants to comment on life in North Carolina, please email me because I would love to hear your views. No permanent decision has been made, but I’m sure we will sell and move somewhere else in just a few years. I realized some time ago that I have only lived in brand new houses my entire life (except for the few years I lived in a condo when we were first married). Both houses I lived in when growing up, my parents were the first owners and the house that we live in now we built back in 1988. Looking at homes that are not new, seems so foreign and hard for me without thinking I have to completely redo and upgrade all the interiors. We have a lot of looking and compromising to do. I am still trying to expand my Etsy business: www.babywearbybabs.etsy.com  by learning and using social media to get the word out. If anyone needs a special handmade baby gift, check out my shop. Both kids are working, but single and happy. No grandbabies anytime soon.” As for us, Larry and I were crowned 2015 King and Queen of my Mardi Gras Krewe of Les Gals. We had so much fun dressing up as Pirates for the skit. With Larry back on two feet, we keep busy with all of our activities. Life is good! Thanks for the news updates! Always good to hear from you!

It is always good to hear from our class. Here is the latest news. Please email me your updates so I can include it next time. Kathy Anderson Jewell retired after 21 years of teaching in June 2013. Many changes were coming and after surviving middle school for that long, she decided it was time to regain some sanity. Chip and Kathy took a two-week Viking River cruise through France. They started in Paris and went north to the beaches of Normandy, then returned to Paris and went south ending in Avignon. Highlights were Monet’s Gardens in Giverny and the Normandy coastline where the D-Day invasions happened 70 years ago. They also enjoyed winery tours and visited Provence and the Pont du Gard aqueduct. They had amazing weather and enjoyed the marvelous sights. They welcomed granddaughter Coretta Ann Jewell on June 9, 2014.  Proud parents are their son Curtis and his wife Julia. Daughter Kristin and husband Zack and 2-year-old Nora added a new baby in July. Kathy’s family is growing rapidly and she is not bored with retirement. Carol Fleming, P’07, P’09 reported that one of their big changes this year is completing their own retirement home after being renters for 25 years in Corolla, N.C. It opened on Memorial Day for 2014 rentals. Check it out at #1231 on Southern Shores Realty. As they put it, “We feel shorely blessed to make this long held dream come true!” Scott and Carol are also going to be grandparents for the first time in October as their middle daughter Charis will be having a daughter of her own. All three Loomer children are teachers in Maryland––Baltimore and Frederick (two are also Hood alums) so they visit frequently. Life is Good! Mary Lynn Furtek Eubanks has been teaching special needs students for 37 years in Alcoa, Tenn. She is trying to decide when to retire. It will be soon. Larry and I, Nancy Ludwick Warrenfeltz, are doing well in Pensacola. Larry just published a new book, Sea Stories: A Virtual Wastebasket of Random Memories. Let me know if you want to buy a signed copy. It is a wonderful book and has many stories about Hood College and theU.S. Naval Academy. It has received great reviews from our friends!
