Before attending our reunion, Al and Kathe Otterson Cintavey went to Japan for the April wedding of son Christopher ’97, who works in Tokyo. They traveled to Kyoto and enjoyed visiting many shrines and historical sites. As recent retirees, they have now moved back East to N.H. to enjoy all that New England has to offer. * Catherine Joslyn published Engaging History: Continuities of Tradition in Peruvian Textiles for an exhibit of traditional Peruvian weavings that she co-curated/edited with a Peruvian weaver. The events were organized by Kennesaw State University, near Atlanta. “The catalogue includes an essay and photos from years of work I’ve done in Peru since 1997.” The exhibit will travel to Colorado and Kansas City in 2013. At reunion she enjoyed listening to, chatting, and/or dancing with Richie Fournier, John Bunker, Tom and Ellen Woods Sidar, Mitch Kaplan, Peter Krakoff, Gary Newton, Linda Chmielinski Gould, Carol Morland and Mike Meserve, and Howie Haase and Heather Dallas. Catherine caught up with Sally Barker in R.I. at a dinner in January, hosted by Deborah Christensen Stewart and Donna Power Stowe. Catherine still enjoys teaching but is starting to look ahead to the next chapter. (A reminder that she is right on Interstate 80 in western Penn. in case anyone happens to be driving through!) * Doug McMillan and his wife had fabulous dinners with Dana Fitts and wife, Robin Sweeney ’74 and Jay Peabody, and Martha Hamilton ’74 and Joe Benson. Dana still sells furniture, and Jay retired from a career at Halco, a company specializing in the water treatment industry. Joe sells real estate and Martha is still in the home appraisal business. Doug is in the motor business—his company just patented a high-efficiency motor that uses 40 percent less electricity than most. “It was a great evening with lots of stories and old memories.” * Bob Brown is in his 38th year teaching high school history and still loving it. He is also president of the local Southington, Conn., teacher’s union. * Russ Harris stopped in Portland, Maine, on his way to our 40th and enjoyed visiting with Dennis Gilbert, who is professor of media studies at the University of Southern Maine. At reunion, it was a pleasure for him to catch up with Susan Griffin Benjamin, Anne Emerson, Steve Sullivan, Doug O’Heir, Clark Ruff, Art Young, Susan Bassi Brown, and Judy Berringer Vanzon. This spring Russ and wife Deborah celebrated the birth of their second granddaughter, Tabitha, born to oldest daughter Rachel. Their youngest daughter, Allegra, graduated from Northeastern and has a job in a public relations business in Boston. Their other daughter, Midori, recently staged the play Tender Napalm in N.Y.C. Finally, they note the start of the 34th year of publication of the Groton Herald, a weekly newspaper covering the town of Groton, Mass., which was founded and operated by Russ and Deborah since 1979. * And the last I heard from Chris Belsky Russack, Hurricane Isaac was on its way to the Tampa, Fla., area. She had never been through a hurricane and didn’t know what to expect. She was hoping for the best, with plenty of cans of Beef-a-Roni and enough wine. (Hope that it went well!)
