Eric Ridgway writes that life is going well in rural north Idaho, where they weren’t yet nearly as impacted by the coronavirus as other parts of the country. His counseling business, the Human Connection Counseling Services, is growing with the addition of neuro-therapy and neurofeedback to the toolkits of the team’s five counselors. They were also actively looking to hire another licensed professional counselor. Eric appreciates his geology degree as he and his wife, Cindy Aese, keep adding to their collection of rocks, minerals, and gems. He notes that Phil Hough ‘81 is working actively to create and defend more wilderness in their region. Eric sends out a “big hello” to Sandy Whatley ’81, Britt Holmen, Diane Zavotsky, and others who were a huge part of his Colby experience. Eric wishes he lived close enough to make our class reunions. He also wishes all of us a safe journey through these challenging times, and reminds us that our 40th reunion is in two short years! Thanks, Eric—the same to you. See you in two? * Nancy Briggs Marshall has started a podcast called The PR Maven Podcast, which is all about personal branding and public relations. She is also writing for Forbes.com and MaineBiz. She’s not slowing down one bit! She went cross-country and alpine skiing every weekend all winter. She’s looking forward to riding the Trek Across Maine and swimming the Peaks to Portland (Maine) this summer. Go, Nancy! * Jeff Brown’s daughter, Hannah, married in January and moved to Boston in May, where her husband will attend graduate school at MIT. Jeff and wife Jessica hope to be around Boston more often in the very near future. Their son became engaged in February—he’ll get married and move to Denver this year. Lots of family logistics! * Due to the coronavirus (March 2019), my family has relocated to our Maine cabin, except for daughter Laura, who works in the ER at Tufts-New England Medical Center in Boston and is staying away from us. We are working, online learning, walking, cycling, and watching too much TV. We feel fortunate to be together, have jobs, and have a good internet connection. The hardest part is not being able to visit my mother-in-law in her nursing home. A year ago, Diane Conley LaVangie, Helen Dooley Anthony, Ann Skinner Rider, and Kim Smith and Doug McCartney joined us at the cabin for a wonderful weekend of socializing and cross-country skiing. Coincidently, I was keeping my distance from everyone then, too, as I was recovering from the flu. I think we may be here in Maine for a while, but hopefully, by the time you read this, the worst of the coronavirus will have passed. I’m looking forward to the days when we can gather with friends again.  Warm wishes for good health everyone.
