The Blue Light

The Maine House of Representatives has a new member from the Waterville district--attorney Joe Jabar. He attributes his decision to run to midlife crisis. Thanks to Joe Jr. '94 and his wife, Joe Sr. and his wife, Renee, are grandparents for the second time. Joe Jr. works with A.G. Edwards. Now in law school, son Jason '96 is the 10th Jabar to graduate from Colby--a remarkable and proud tradition. . . . It appears that Jeanne Amnotte McCarthy and husband Jerry have raised two hockey players. Jeremiah Jr., 20, is on the Harvard varsity team and also was a member of the U.S. National Junior Team. Liam, 17, a senior at Belmont High (Mass.), is trying to decide which college to attend, and hockey will be key to his choice. I'm sure many of us share Jeanne's sentiment that "Turning 50 was shocking. Aren't we all still kids?" . . . Jane Morrison recently moved to Appleton, Maine, and is director of public information for Penobscot Bay Medical Center. Son Joshua '93 is teaching and coaching, and Seth is a freshman at South Vermont College. Jane lists under "too early to tell the effect"--second child off to college, moving to 12 acres in a somewhat remote location and her new job responsibilities. . . . Susanne Gilmore MacArthur has been involved in a national portfolio project to assess student learning and has traveled to San Francisco, New York and Texas to develop training materials for use with both teachers and students around the country. Husband K.C. is associate director of a day treatment program for special needs students. Susanne's sons both live in southern Maine. Cory, 27, is in graduate school to become a teacher, and Scott, 29, works for L.L.Bean and travels whenever he can. . . . Busy doesn't begin to describe Bob Kulp and his wife. Bob is: chairman of Speed Art Museum Charter Collectors and buys art for the museum's collection; president of Friends of the School of Music, U. of Louisville; chairman of New Performing Arts, providing quality music to disadvantaged communities; and trustee for River Fields, Inc., a conservation group. Bob says someone needs to teach him to say no to volunteerism as he has no time to practice law, but he's loving it nonetheless. Margaret is the zone chairman for Garden Club of America and a national advisory council member of the American Horticultural Society. Both enjoy traveling, singing and gardening in both Kentucky and Christmas Cove, Maine. . . . Last summer in the Keene (N.H.) Sentinel, an extensive article appeared about Barbara Stanford Tremblay. She is currently principal of the Franklin School in Keene, where she draws praise from teachers and students alike. Complete with photos, the article profiles her life, career and family with quotes about her educational philosophy. . . . Bye for now.
