The youngest of Gary Winer’s four girls went directly from her camp counseling job to her freshman dorm at Allegheny College in Pennsylvania on her own, as logistics made it impossible to accompany her. Gary’s rueful description: “We’re like, ‘Yeah, we’ll see you at homecoming in October and take you shopping for your room then.’” * John Breedlove’s financial services business, the Moody Street Group in Newton, just celebrated its third anniversary, and he and his wife, Nga, are up to five grandchildren. * Doug and Marjorie Gonzalez Blackwell’s daughter Courtney got married in August, and Doug joined the wedding band to sing “I Will Wait”—captured on video posted on Facebook! * Lisa Klein Boldt’s eldest son graduated from Colby in May, and she will dearly miss the lacrosse weekends in Maine, “no matter how bone-chilling.” Lisa is grateful to Janet Santry Houser for her guidance during graduation weekend festivities. * Steve Jacobs had a wonderful time visiting his daughter Emily in Philadelphia this summer and touring the outstanding Barnes Museum and Amish country. * After taking my daughter to Emerson in Boston last week I met up with Bob Woodbury. * Miguel Browne traveled through South Africa, Botswana, and Zimbabwe with Lindy Williams ’79 and their families—and had to cross the Kalahari desert to the U.S. Embassy when their tents burned. Backstory, please? * Sally Pearce retired in 2009 after 30 years with the state of Colorado. She still volunteers as co-executive director of the National Scenic Byway Foundation, and she recently returned from South Africa and Zambia. * Theanna Pateropoulos is working toward her Ph.D. in clinical psychology in San Francisco. Over the summer she visited Maine for a “luxurious one-month vacation” that included time with several classmates including Mary Rolerson Hebert and Kathy Jackson Gitten. * Tim Hussey’s son Philip is now a fourth-generation Colby grad. Tim was privileged to be on stage, along with John Devine, for the graduation ceremony, which included Bro’s final address. * Bob LeFeber visited Colby several times last year—his son is now attending—and was impressed with all the improvements on campus. * Wayne Colin is an ear, nose, and throat and head and neck surgeon in Lexington, Ky. He encourages anyone suffering from sleep apnea but intolerant of CPAP to check out his website, osasurgery.com. * Abi Rome runs an ecotourism business from her home in Maryland and invites classmates to join the next tour to Chile and the coast of the Andes—you can find her at tierra-vista.org. * Anne and Tom Gilligan moved back to the Boston area two years ago and love being able to see Colby friends frequently, including classmates Jim Gagne, Jim Crook, and Ronnie Davids. Tom says, “We continue to add great memories to those we made at Colby. Still a lot of laughs, and the people just seem to get better as they get older.”
