Queens Leriotis Hotel gave me a seaview room for €30. I wake up to the sound of waves gently hitting whitewashed, ocean-worn rocks. The veranda cement floor is cold. I take a deep breath and feel the comforting rays of a warm sun strike my face. I smile as I gaze across the relatively calm Adriatic sea. "Yes now you are silent," I say to myself. Thin fists grip the steel railing and I watch a flock of noisy seagulls hovering over one lonely fishing boat. This is my last day in Greece. The end of the Piece Prize journey. The paddling is over. The fear is over. The unknown is over.
The shower is warm and four day stubble is no opponent to a new, triple knife-sharp blade. I am thinner. My hair is longer. Cheeks are leaner. My teeth are still crooked - somethings don't change.
She greets me - kalamera- and pours a warm cup of coffee. Breakfast is simple. Bran flakes with small chocolate puffs. A bit sweeter than my normal morning intake of yogurt, almonds and banana. The coffee is cold so I ask for a double espresso.
Back on the veranda, the sun hits my face. It's -7 in Oslo. I rest. I think. And listen to those crazy seagulls.
I hear a pling on my phone. It's a message from Tassos at the Olympiacos kayak club. An athlete wants to buy the kayak. Can I come within 30 minutes. I say yes and grab a yellow cab.
I met Tassos yesterday. A world champion kayaker, he is soft spoken and we have a sense of deep appreciation for each other. Intuitively we know what our ambitions have cost. Intuitively we know how fast achievements become history. Intuitively, we understand that memories define who we are. We hug.
He introduces me to Nikos, the soon to be new owner of an EPIC SPORT X18. He is a great guy. A bit shorter than me, he is stocky with arms of steel. He is a paddler, a rower. Maybe I could paddle further on a long, drawn out day, but this guy would kill me within a 20 km range. We are both happy. The money will go to charity and there is no sadness as I sign the kayak "To my friend Nick. Thank you," Mark Fuhrmann
Tassos shows me his medals and we talk about victories and defeats. He is a mainstayer and has a place of deep recognition in the club. I look at his pictures and medals hanging on the wall. It is part of him. I feel proud to be standing beside him. I hope we meet again. We shake hands and then he whizzes off on his scooter.
Nikos and I walk around the harbor and stop for a coffee. He says we can learn from history and shows me pictures of how the harbor looked before the walls were constructed. The beaches are gone. The fishing boats are gone. Seaside restaurants have come. Million dollar yachts have come. Times have changed. We shake hands. He goes right. I go left.
The 30-minute walk back to Queens Leriotis is swift. I throw two plastic containers, a small volume of sea-moist nuts and some tattered clothes into the bin. I jam what's left of my gear and remaining kayaking clothes into a €14 blue duffle bag purchased yesterday. I pick up the double set of Carbon paddle oars and take the elevator down four flights to ground zero. She smiles and I pay the bill. I remind her to watch ANT1. I should be on the eight o'clock news.
I take one last look at the hotel's Christmas presentation and push through the glass doors onto the street.
The man in the yellow cab offers to drive me to the airport for €40. It's a good price. I take it. Four years my younger, he works 12 to 16 hours every day. I see a tired but determined man. I see a good man.
He, like most of the people I talked to, want a better Greece. I hand him €50. He saw me on the news and we take a picture. Arm in arm with a stranger, we share the connection of being part of a family. He smiles and tucks the crisp ATM retrieved bill into his pocket. I don't know why, but we thank each other.
I check in with Norwegian. The man with the Norwegian uniform fastens a luggage label around the straps. I watch the bag disappear.
He weighs my carry-on and then tells me that I probably won't be able to carry those duck-tape wrapped, double set of EPIC carbon paddles onto the plane. I say "... it will go just fine." He looks at me, pauses and smiles. 30 minutes later while pasting a freshly printed Norwegian luggage label on my newly plastic-wrapped oars, at a cost of €5, he says, "I told you so." He lifts his head. Our eyes meet. He smiles. I smile. We small talk and then I make my way over to special cargo counter 77. I rearrange my Telenor toque as the mummy plastic-wrapped paddles dissappear on a black, fish-scale conveyor belt.
I make my way to row 20, seat D. I sit down and secretly glance at those closest to me. The plane escalates down the runway. The girl across from me taps her left foot nervously. The tall, lanky paddler in row 20, seat D, thinks, "This has been a great day."

It is every little girls' dream to have her dad give her away at her wedding. That dream was no different for 27-year-old Casey Kapalko.
Casey had envisioned her father, Monmouth Superior Court Judge Paul Kapalko, walking her down the aisle with her mother on her big day. She also had the idea to have her father.
Casey recalled her dad's ability to make a wedding special for the happy couple. Though he was typically a jokester, he kept himself professional and serious for weddings.
"I think it was one of the things he loved most about being a judge," said Casey of her father. It was a joyous part of his job that carried huge importance.
Unfortunately Kapalko was diagnosed with pancreatic carcinoids in 2011. He was given four or five years to live.
Originally, Casey had wanted a wedding in November of 2017. At first, the family thought her dad could make it, and he was even going to physical therapy to make sure he could walk his daughter down the aisle.
Then November began to look like it was too far away. The couple changed their date to May 2017 and sent out invitations.
Wedding plans were beginning to settle into place in April when Kapalko's health took a turn for the worst. He was admitted to the ICU and was unable to have many visitors because of contamination.
Casey's dreams of having her father at her wedding started to fade. The only thing she could think to do to make sure her dad was part of her special day was to take the wedding to him, even sooner than they were expecting.
On April 15, Casey said "I do" at a small wedding officiated by her dying father. Only eight people were allowed in the hospital room and two friends joined the ceremony via FaceTime, but the intimate ceremony was everything Casey dreamed it would be.
"My dad was as cool as a cucumber," Casey said. "He became the guy I had seen officiate so many weddings. He went off script and was really personal. He offered advice and said some really beautiful things. It felt unreal."
Just 12 days later, Kapalko lost his battle with cancer. The timing of it all was bittersweet.
Though the family has lost an important member, he was able to be there for one of the biggest days of his daughter's life. Casey's dad was able to officiate her wedding and put his signature on her marriage license.
"I think everybody in there felt so much closer, like we were all sharing something really important," said Casey. It is a memory that she will not soon forget.
Don`t forget to Share this to your friends!

Campaign encourages Texans to designate a Person Appointed to Stay Sober
AUSTIN – State Representative Paul Workman is pleased to join the Texas Hospitality Association (THA) and the Texas Department of Transportation to promote a holiday campaign aimed at preventing drunk driving. The P.A.S.S. (Person Appointed to Stay Sober) campaign encourages Texans to arrange for a sober ride home and for sober drivers to enjoy the holiday season without drinking alcohol.
The THA is distributing customizable sober driver "gift certificates" and other materials in stores where alchol is sold. Texans can visit the THA website at www.TexasHospitalityAssociation.com to print their own Holiday P.A.S.S. bottle hangers to include with alcoholic gifts.
"All Texans should be able to enjoy the holiday season safely, without worrying about drunk driving," said Rep. Workman. "This campaign encourages adults to appoint a P.A.S.S., or Person Appointed to Stay Sober, to make the season safe and enjoyable for everyone."
"I encourage everyone to plan ahead. If you know you will be drinking alcohol, please appoint a P.A.S.S. to get you home safely. I also encourage hosts to provide alcohol-free beverages at their parties for designated drivers to enjoy."
Mixologist Rob Pate has created three alcohol-free drinks for Holiday P.A.S.S. These drink recipes are available on the Holiday P.A.S.S. Pinterest page, www.pinterest.com/holidaypass. Tips on event planning for holiday festivities can be found on the Holiday P.A.S.S. Facebook page, www.facebook.com/santaintexas.

It seems that the weather is on our minds at the moment what with the recent and relatively unexpected snow and now some downpours and grey skies. The weather was brightened a little when last weekend saw Mother's Day making many mothers smile. So many people gave flowers as gifts for the special lady in their lives. But despite the dodgy weather and that celebrative day being over now, every day is a good day for sending flowers to someone special by way of a 'thank you' or even 'I love you'.

ON AIR - Sunday Night Live
with Shireen Langan
Harry Arter says he won't let injury wreck his European dreams.
The Bournemouth midfielder was hoping to impress Ireland boss, Martin O'Neill, in the friendlies against Switzerland and Slovakia but has returned to his club for treatment on an achilles injury.
He says missing out this time round means he should finish the season in peak condition: "It's one of those injuries that I just have to have a little bit of rest rather than pushing through it.
"Looking at the bigger picture, if I didn't rest now then I'd get to the point later in the season where I would have to. So to give myself the opportunity to finish strongly and try and get recognition for the Euros, it was the best decision now to stop."
Arter's only Irish appearance came as a sub in the friendly with England last June. He exacerbated an injury which ruled him out until November.

Compute, Storage and Network are the 3 basic IaaS element of Cloud computing, administrated by orchestrators like Openstack, Cloudstack, VMware and delivered as an elastic service to public or private clients.
Over this IaaS your clients require a rich set of application services be they local or via 3rd party SaaS providers.
What we have seen
As Cloud services expand, you see more and more overlapping multi-tenant networks, with the possibility of multiple orchestrators, be that multiple instances of say Openstack, or combinations of different ones.
Fold into this problem the dynamic nature of the service, the compute platform, and the application delivery and you see a major network administration headache. The primary reason is that traditional IP address management platforms are silo/orchestrator based, so managing the whole IP Address range becomes a time consuming task.
In the last 6 months AnotherTrail has seen significant cost implications for Cloud Service Providers caused by:
- Overlapping Multi-tenant networks
- Service expansion/acquisition
- 3rd Party SaaS service access
- Multiple orchestrators
- Need to accommodate virtual user-id naming conventions
- Lack of associated CMDB

As the world gravitates towards visual content, you can't afford to stand on the sidelines as this could hurt your business. Recent studies show that people have an insatiable thirst for good quality video content. Tapping into this need, Denver motion graphics artists note, is the key to gaining an edge in a tough market. Here are some incredible ways to leverage the power of video marketing to grow your sales.
Create Explainer Videos
Most marketers tend to overlook one crucial aspect that impacts the success of their campaign—consumer education. Sometimes the prospective customers are unaware of some the benefits, uses, or inner workings of a product. This makes them hesitant in making a buying decision.
Well thought out and detailed explainer videos can help you out of this bind. The strong visuals on these animations make it easy to explain the technical and hard-to-grasp concepts of your products. They also give you an avenue to present some intangible benefits of your products in a most befitting manner.
Tell Customer Stories
Word of mouth marketing remains an efficient way to grow your business. It doesn't matter the platform on which people use to spread the word. People love a good story, especially when the story is true and genuine. Telling customer success stories can give you a great shot in the arm. It offers one additional benefits that lend further credence to your brand—it lets you step aside.
Success stories shine the spotlight on the clients, letting them give a detailed narration about their experience and success using your products. Prospects are likely to take the advice of an existing client over any message that comes from the company. Happy customers make the best brand advocate and getting it on video bears considerable benefits.
With a little bit of effort and creativity, you can leverage the popularity of videos and use them to grow your sales. Explainer videos and telling customer stories are proven ways to get people to notice your brand.

Being hands-on with your self build project has many advantages but it can also be overwhelming when you realise the sheer scale of choices that you are faced with when deciding on building materials. Every aspect of the build will require a huge number of decisions and to add to the confusion you may find that your requirements change as the build progresses. To make your life easier and ensure the build goes according to your schedule and budget you will need to decide on your materials and eliminate those that don't fit with your budget or style early on in the process.
Sometimes Alternatives Are Better
You may be tempted to go for authentic materials such as wood and stone but there are lots of modern alternatives which are a lot cheaper and in some cases they actually perform and look better. A good example of this is using slate and stone cladding instead of natural stone. Often alternative materials are easier to install than their natural counterparts so they require less skill to install. This will lower the cost of installation or make it easier for you to do yourself.
Which Wood To Choose
When building your own home it's likely that you will be needing lots of wood for a variety of uses. Wood is a great building material as it's strong and durable while being flexible and renewable and it looks great as well. The type of timber you choose depends on what you are using it for.
Wood is strong, durable, long lasting, restorable, recyclable, renewable and of course, attractive. With so many different types of wood available you should consider what you need it for and allocate a form of wood best suited to each job. For example engineered timber is perfect for flooring, pressure-treated timber is great for decking and western red cedar is ideal for fencing so the wood you choose depends on its purpose. Your budget also plays a big role in which wood you choose as you may want solid oak floors but may find that your budget only allows for laminate. Once again specifying the best materials to suit your decor and budget is important.
Know Where To Look
So where can you find the best range of materials to choose from for your self build? Thankfully there are some useful online tools available for specifiers to search a huge range of building products, materials and fixtures and they also act as a comparison tool which is ideal when you are faced with lots of choice.
Knowing where to source your materials and building products is essential for saving you both time and money when undergoing a self build as you can be assured that you have chosen the best materials that your budget allows and are able to eliminate others early in the process. As with any build good planning is vital and this includes specifying materials at an early stage.


text: EGYPTIAN VULTURES ARE SADLY ON THE WAY OUT. Currently listed as 'endangered' by BirdLife International owing to a rapidly declining population they are definitely birds to watch while we still can. We were lucky to be able to visit the state-of-the-art raptor flight photo hide at Lleras near Tremp again this year and as well as some very close birds there were lots of opportunities to shoot these attractive little vultures in the air as well as on the ground. I remember the skies around the Taj Mahal being filled by them 20 years ago and now you are lucky to see one or two there. The decline has also been seen across Africa and although there are some pockets where their numbers are stable (presumably where they are not blighted by the veterinary drug diclofenac), like Oman and Socotra, the prospects for their long term survival look very bleak. Unbelievably the same horrible drug has recently been authorised for use in Spain, which will probably mean the end for this and most other vultures there. Judging from their actions most present governments absolutely do not care about wildlife. I wonder when the backlash from those that do will come?

Beware of MMM Global Scheme : Thousands Lose their Money as MMM Scheme Collapse in Zimbabwe
Zimbabwe citizens are the latest people who has lost their money in the cash lifting/Ponzi scheme of MMM global social financial money-making scheme.
According to report in Zimbabwe national daily newspaper reported that thousands of Zimbabwe has lost their money as MMM crashes in the country.
Its was reported that thousands of people, among them are civil servant, vendors and others has lost their hard earn money to the fraudulent pyramid scheme MMM Global, after collapsed in the country recently.
MMM stands for Mavrodi Mondial Moneybox and takes its name from its founder, Sergei Panteleevich Mavrodi of Russia. He founded MMM in 1989 and the scheme was declared bankrupt three years later leading to the disappearance of Mavrodi until his arrest in 2003.
The soley payment provider for the ponzi scheme EcoCash has distance itself from the financial pryramid scheme, despite users using them as a transaction for the ponzi scheme.
Zimbabweans have in the past months been joining the online investment scheme in droves in a bid "to get rich quickly". The Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe warned people that the scheme was fraudulent and there was no legal recourse in the event they lost their money.
The central bank said MMM, which advertises its operations through a website and recruiting agents, was not a registered or regulated entity. EcoCash yesterday said: "We have noted that some of these pyramid schemes are allegedly advertising in a manner that suggests that the Ecocash facility is a medium for prospective members to deposit their money. This is not correct.
"We advise our valued customers and all stakeholders that Ecocash is a licensed mobile payment platform that enables customers to make financial transactions such as sending money, buying prepaid airtime as well as paying for goods and services within the confines of the law of Zimbabwe. EcoCash promotes safe and legal transactions but will not be held liable for any losses arising from the use of EcoCash to engage in illegal activities such as Ponzi schemes."
The scheme advertises itself as a mutual aid fund under which recruited members contribute money to assist others and are promised investment returns of 30 percent per month. Some of the people left counting their losses told The Herald that they received emails that the scheme had been suspended until September 15.
"All along things were moving in the right direction and we now have nowhere to claim our investments," said Mr Tinashe Muza of Harare.
"When we started putting our funds in the scheme one could get assistance within seven days but things later changed to 14 days and when we were shut out the waiting period was 21 days. What it simply means is that the number of people in need of help has outnumbered the number of people joining. Right now we have nowhere to get our money which we invested."
Another victim, Mrs Rosemary Mawonde said: "We never thought the scheme would end this way as we believed that by using EcoCash to do the transactions, things were in order. I am surprised that EcoCash is also distancing itself from the scheme and it is clear that I will never recover the $300 that I invested."
While some people who were skeptical about the scheme started with small amounts, it is believed some poured in thousands of dollars anticipating higher returns. The RBZ said the schemes were fraudulent as existing investors were 'paid money not from genuine market investment of their funds, but from contributions made by new investors, until a point when the scheme can no longer attract new investors,"
"The participants are made aware that they make their money by recruiting new members who in turn must recruit more members," warned the Central Bank.

This feature is something a bit different for Harlow & Willow, it is a coming together of art and fashion.
habbot x Emma Lipscombe is a collaboration between Australian Shoe fashion designer Annie Abbott of habbot and WA artist Emma Lipscombe.
Emma Lipscombe (featured artist of The Design Files Open House, Artist Open House Freemantle, and celebrated in Australia's leading publications) was invited to collaborate with Annie Abbott, Australian Shoe designer to launch a limited capsule collection which celebrates the coming together of inspiring creative women succeeding within the design/fashion landscape.
I interviewed Annie Abbott of Habbot Studios about the collaboration!
How would you describe your aesthetic and the vision for your brand?
I think the best way to describe my creative vision for habbot is a melding of classic styles with a colourful palette and contemporary treatment so it was important to carry this combined approach through to the collaboration. I was able to merge Emma's geometric prints with our shared love of statement colours and apply them to a small group of habbot classic styles. Each of the styles in the collection reflect my polished yet uncomplicated style in terms of shoe design and shape, which allows Emma's print to play the major role in defining the collection.
How did the collaboration between yourself and Emma Lipscombe come about?
I always try to include unexpected materials in each new collection and realized that a great way to do this would be to create my own printed leather by collaborating with an artist. I first saw Emma's work at The Design Files open house a couple of years back and I recognized the fact that Emma and I share several similar design values in the way we both love using strong and often contrasting colours and I have always loved geometric prints and patterns which is obviously a cornerstone of her work. I approached her to work with me in June last year and we started working together shortly after that.
What has been the best part of the journey in this collaboration?
I think seeing the first sample made up. This is actually always my favourite part of the designing process, but especially in this case as I have never made my materials 'from scratch' so to speak. It was fantastic to see something that we'd created from the ground up come to life.
Does this inspire you to pursue future collaborations with artists in the future?
Absolutely. Whilst the process was a bit more complicated and therefore time consuming, it was such a satisfying experience and it definitely helped to be working with such a talented and easy going artist as Emma. I really feel like I've made a new friend out of this collaboration as well as a new capsule collection.
If you had to pick, what would be your favourite piece of the capsule collection?
I think the locks loafer is perhaps may favourite because it uses the collaboration print for the entire shoe upper so is the 'boldest' of the group. Plus I always love a tassel!

Great Experience
I got married at ABC this fall and had a very positive experience! The space itself is beautiful, classic, and historic and was a great backdrop to my simple, minimalist aesthetic (although I think it could suit a lot of different styles well). The food and drinks were good and a great value. We played our music on the sound system and that was easy to setup and sounded great.Sent on 01/08/2019
Alisha, the event coordinator at ABC, was very helpful and went above and beyond. During the planning stages she was very helpful with offering advice on schedule, layout of the room, etc. and was very flexible and willing to work with our budget. The day of the wedding she was invaluable and really helped the day to run smoothly.

My husband and I came upon this venue by accident while eating dinner at their restaurant one night. After eating their delicious food, we learned that you could rent the area upstairs for events. We took a quick tour and my husband was all smiles. We toured a few other locations that week, but before we even decided on a ceremony location, we knew we had to have our reception at ABC. Luke and his team made the entire night go SO smoothly. I brought my decorations up the night before and they did an amazing job of setting them up. the food was delicious and if you're a craft beer fan, then this place is a no-brainer. Luke even worked with us, because our budget was a little constricting. The entire day was spectacular, and ABC was perfect for us. We could not be more happy with our reception. 5+ stars!Sent on 10/24/2014

We rented the entire 2nd floor and loved every moment! We looked at a few other places but ABC had that vibe we were looking for. A few weeks before the wedding we found out our Event Planner changed, this ended up being the best thing that could have happened. Luke was awesome, he went above and beyond before, during and after our reception. We loved the food, atmosphere, staff … EVERYTHING. 100% of the time Luke was right there when we needed anything. We are so happy that picked ABC! THANKS EVERYONE!Sent on 06/05/2013

Appalachian Brewing Company - Abbey Bar (Cameron street location) was a great reception location for our wedding. l When booking the date for our reception, communication was a bit slow, but that's to be expected as Alisha, the special event coordinator, also over sees the location's concerts and brewfests. She's a busy individual. As the day grew closer, she was invaluable and excellent to deal with. The food was awesome. We had heard stories from others that had attended things at this location, but Alisha put our concerns at ease. She worked with our special requests and was very pleasant while things were happening the night of. I asked that she approach me about any changes to our food or drink allotments instead of going to my Bride so she could enjoy the day and Alisha did exactly that. All-in-all, I would definitely recommend the location to another couple. The bar staff were cheery and super professional, the beer was good as always, and the entire evening was in a world - "Excellent".Sent on 09/19/2016
Use this for your reception if you're looking for a comfortable, rustic location and you will not be disappointed.
Danielle · Married on 07/01/2017
The only reason I did not give a full five stars is because Alisha is extremely busy and it is sometimes tricky to get a hold of her. Of course I mentioned this to her and she gave me her cell phone number and was perfect after that. This venue has great prices and amazing food! The bartenders are super friendly and Alisha's assistant? Michelle was super friendly and competent. The reception went without a problem and was everything I could have hoped for. We even had them do the decorating for us and it was beautiful plus the gallery comes with stands of lights on the ceiling. They even provided most of the stuff for centerpieces and followed the seating chart I had made. On top of all of that, our buffet style dinner was amazing and Michelle plates dinners for my husband and me which was so wonderful because my dress made it a bit difficult to keep getting up and sitting down. This venue worked with us and was worth every penny while being extremely reasonable priced for about 85 people with an open bar of beer and wine.Sent on 07/02/2017
Jon · Married on 06/06/2015
Just wow! I love craft beer, which was one of the main reasons why we chose to have our reception at ABC in Harrisburg, but what truly won my wife and I over was how welcome everyone we worked with made us feel. We had a real sense that they wanted us to choose them to host our wedding. Though, over the course of more than a year, they venue had some turnover in staff (we dealt with a total of three different event coordinators), everyone we worked with bent over backwards to make our day perfect. Despite a few small snafus here and there, the day was great, the food was amazing, the venue beautiful, and everyone had a great time eating and drinking. This is a great place to celebrate! A big thank you to Justin and Alisha! And I can't wait to go back and drink more beer.Sent on 06/09/2015

We held our Labor Day weekend wedding on the second floor -- in the gallery and the Abbey Bar. The patio was the perfect place for our ceremony, and Alisha did a wonderful job getting everything exactly how we wanted it. We had no idea what we were doing, and Appalachian made it so easy to throw a phenomenal party. We could not have chosen a better venue!!Sent on 09/06/2018

We had an amazing time celebrating our wedding at Appalachian Brewing Company! Our guests loved the uniqueness of the Abbey Bar and Gallery room and it made a great setting for both our ceremony and reception. We also had access to the deck for guests to relax and enjoy the weather.Sent on 08/13/2015
In the days leading up to the wedding, Alisha (the special events coordinator) allowed us to give input into the layout and timing of events while providing valuable insight from previous experience.
Everyone raved about the food, specifically the chicken wings, crab cakes (pretty much everyone's favorite), pierogies and beef tips. We had a fantastic bartender who gladly helped our guests find drinks they would enjoy. Instead of choosing 2-3 beers to have on tap like at other venues, ABC had all 15 beers available to our guests during the reception (we had several home-brewers at our wedding so they were grateful for the amazing selection)! The server was very helpful, friendly and available throughout the entire event for anything we needed.
We are so glad we chose ABC for our wedding!
Alexandra · Married on 06/16/2018
ABC was a perfect place for our reception. The inside was beautiful with the string lights, brick wall, and wood floors, and the outside patio was great for guests to play cornhole and hang out. The food was delicious and very affordable. We worked with Alisha and Michelle. They were very accommodating, but there were some details about the reception that we had to remind them of that week that had been discussed previously. Everything turned out great though, and they even have centerpieces we were able to use. All of our guests loved the atmosphere and the different BBQ style wedding food. We also did a late night snack to make sure our guests had something before leaving for the night, which was great!Sent on 07/17/2018

Vera Lynn, banquet coordinator was TERRIBLE! Never answers emails or phone calls, she was in fact flexible when you were finally able to get a hold of her but did not keep good record of our meetings or conversations and I would frequently have to remind her of the details. Worried me immensely!
Food was okay, not what I expected...
Sound man provided was horrible!! I was willing to use my own announcer for the wedding but I personally checked with their sound guy and he said that he would love to....HORRIBLE! All he had to do was make a few announcements and adjust the volume on an ipod....sat at the bar all night!!!!!!
I strongly believe that the remaining employees at ABC are good people, but these two were a few bad apples!
M · Married on 08/21/2010
ABC was flexible and accommodating, however, it took many emails, phone calls, and weeks to receive a response to simple questions. I did not receive prompt answers until a week or two before the wedding. They were also very hesitant to sign a formal event contract. In the end, the event coordinator said that her emails were good enough and served as a signature.Sent on 09/15/2010
The food for the wedding was good. It was hot and tasty and I don't think there's a lot more you can ask from a buffet. The guests enjoyed it and so did we. There were two small issues with the buffet: set up and dismissing people to go to the buffet. The buffet was set up so people could only walk down one side. It was also self service which created a long line. Also, the event staff said they did not dismiss tables to go to the buffet as a policy. They asked that the DJ do this. Neither of these issues were discussed before the event and I was surprised. I should have asked before, but I had a hard enough time getting answers to the more serious questions.
The spaces for the event, Abbey Bar and Gallery, were great. The rooms have a lot of natural character. Overall, the wedding was a success, the staff were friendly, the food was good, and the price was awesome. The biggest negative was the lack of responsiveness.

Here's what I've decided: (if you care!)
Make 4 Mixels collages and 3 paper collages a week. Print out the Mixels. Keep them all in a sketchbook. Make the themes important to me, or funny, or random. Just try a one a day thing. Or sit down and do them all at once. Write when I want to.
Another goal: Buy a stylus and try that with the iPad.
Why all the tech? I've proposed a lecture and workshop for next year's International Quilt Festival in Houston about Apps for smart phones and tablets as tools for quilters and mixed media artists. It may not get on the docket but I want to be ready if it does!
On the pragmatic side of things, I am also doing a food diary and exercise log, per my trainer's reccommendations. I'm using a free and very good app called My Fitness Pal. The reason is not completely un-art related-- We are getting in shape for a 100 km walk on the Camino de Santiago in Spain in May. And that I am sure will inspire a whole lot of artful thinking, doing and making. we'll only walk about 10 to 15 km a day but I know from a walk we did in Ireland about 10 years ago, that the joints appreciate less weight on them.

PHOTO: Republic of Singapore AF C-130Bs in Asia Minor scheme
Photo credit: unknown
Got alerted to this very cool, old-school photo overnight; Republic of Singapore Air Force C-130B 725 pictured in February 1979 carrying RSAF markings but in what was then known as the USAF's Asia Minor scheme, betraying its Royal Jordanian Air Force origins. The RJAF scheme was carried only for a short period of time when in RSAF service, where it soon acquired a more suitable camouflage for its new home, similar to the USAF's Southeast Asia scheme then common among the RSAF's aircraft.
Originally a USAF machine bearing the serial 60-0308 (cn 3620), this aircraft was known to have served with the US Air Force Reserves' (AFRES) 313th Tactical Airlift Wing at Forbes AFB, Kansas before being transferred to the RJAF which assigned it the serial 143. In 1978, Singapore purchased two of the RJAF's C-130Bs (the other aircraft being C-130B 60-0302/cn 3611 which became 724 in the RSAF) to join two ex-USAF C-130Bs purchased the year before for the RSAF's nascent transport fleet.
The four C-130Bs were incorporated with four new C-130Hs into the RSAF's 122 Sqn in 1980, where 725 still serves with today, albeit modified to allow it to operate as a KC-130B tanker since the mid-1980s. The RSAF's C-130 fleet is currently being upgraded with modern avionics and is expected to serve well into the 2020s.
Spotters badge to Roy RX, and thanks for the headsup. More photos of the RSAF's C-130Bs in RJAF camo:

By Bill Mefford
I was asked by a friend quite a while ago to address whether a church should have a US flag in the sanctuary. I have been delinquent in writing about this for a number of reasons. One of which is that I am not real big on issuing a bunch of absolutes and this is one of those issues that very much belongs in local contexts. A church that serves folks near a military base will necessarily approach this issue much differently than a church near a state university with a large international student population.
Further, whether a church has a US flag in the sanctuary or not does not address some of the deeper issues associated with nationalism and service to the state. I do not want to give too much credit to churches that do the simple (remove a US flag from the sanctuary) and virtually ignore the more difficult task of addressing our essential loyalties and allegiances which can either buttress or undermine the sin of nationalism. Thus, removing a US flag from a sanctuary and claiming you have repented of nationalism is kind of like die-hard conservatives getting City Hall to have a Nativity scene on its grounds. What exactly have you accomplished in either case? Just because no one sees a US flag in a church sanctuary does not mean you have shifted core allegiances in the lives of your congregants, and just because you have a Nativity on the front lawn of City Hall does not mean a single person will experience anew the birth of the Messiah.
Evangelicalism has become overwhelmed with focusing on such petty issues like putting Nativity scenes on public buildings and I am afraid fighting about removing a US flag from a sanctuary can easily devolve into something similar for progressives. As with anything having to do collective decisions by congregations this is as much a matter of pastoral care as it is about theological or political statements. Don't get me wrong, I truly do believe that sanctuaries should be emptied of nationalistic symbols, but I am so much more interested in the process - that it be part of a larger movement by the congregation to address and root out nationalism in all of its forms - than just yet another knee-jerk reaction in a series of knee-jerk reactions that occur in the endless culture wars that fill the church with a lot of sound and fury signifying (and accomplishing) nothing.
Still, all of this to say, I strongly believe US flags do not belong in the sanctuaries of US churches and here are a few passages that help shape my view on this.
One passage I am constantly reminded of these days for a number of reasons is in Micah 4:1-4 when, in the last days, all of the nations of the world will come to the Mountain of the Lord to have their disputes settled by God. It is one of the most powerful images in all of Scripture as peace and security are not established through nationalistic vengeance (for their disputes will be settled fairly), or through an international arms race (for they will beat their weapons of war into instruments that provide for the welfare of all people).
Most significant for this discussion is the fact people are identified with their nations only as they approach the mountain - not after their disputes are settled nor after they are given fig trees to provide for their sustenance. Further, once given their fig trees and vines people will be "delivered from fear." Thus freedom from fear seems to be tied directly with the time before weapons are transformed, the international disputes settled, and nationalistic identification. The lesson for me is simple: nationalism breeds violence and war, and peace and security is found once violence and the underpinning nationalism no longer exists.
Jumping ahead to what for me is the most important biblical text in addressing issues of nationalism is the founding of the New Testament church in Acts. In Acts 1, before Jesus ascends back into heaven he meets with his disciples for forty days teaching them (or actually reminding them of all he had taught them previously) about the Kingdom of God. Just before he ascends he is asked one final question by his disciples who stunningly inquire, "Is this the time when you are going to restore the Kingdom to Israel?"
Now, think about that. Jesus has literally gone through hell and back and the one thing on their minds is a selfish grab for power. It is selfish because they know that if the Kingdom is about the restoration of Israel to its Davidic greatness then they will likely be the heads of the twelve tribes. Nationalism is simply the collective form of selfishness, which is why trump uses nationalistic themes so often. They appeal to him first and foremost and to his followers. This is also what is part of the crux when addressing US flags in sanctuaries. US flags remind us where we are and to what our nationality is directed. US flags are about us as US citizens. This is why nationalism is so political powerful and so antithetical to the basic tenet of the gospel which is essentially about loving God and loving others fully.
But look at how Jesus responds to this bone-headed question by his disciples. He does not berate the disciples (as you can tell I would likely do). Instead, Jesus reminds them that they are actually called to be witnesses "in Jerusalem, in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth." They want to go backwards and Jesus calls them forward. They want to go inward and he calls them out of themselves to the entire world around them. They want to protect and he calls them to sacrificially serve.
Removing US flags from the sanctuary will not deliver you or your congregation from nationalism, but it will be a sign that you, like the disciples, are being governed more by the values of the Kingdom than ones dictated to us by failure-prone elected leaders of government.
The last passage I go to is not so much about nationalism as it is about culture. I refer to it because so many who are passionate about having US flags in church sanctuaries do so from a belief that there is a unified US culture. This belief is mythical at best, but even more mystifying is the belief that this US culture is largely legitimized by Christianity which functions as the glue to holding the US culture together. Thus, to be Christian is to be American and to spread Christianity is to further the goals of the "American Empire" (my term, not theirs).
So, I look to the first church council in Acts 15 when there was tremendous conflict among Jesus' followers as to who the gospel of Jesus was meant for and who could join this fledgling but very vibrant and growing movement. One side wanted any Gentile converts to adopt not only the teachings of Jesus, but the entirety of Jewish law and culture as well. Gentile converts needed to become Jewish, in other words The other side, with the likes of Paul and Peter leading the way, saw Christianity as a universal movement, not tied to any nation or culture. Therefore, Jesus' love and grace were available to all people, no matter their race or ethnicity.
Thankfully, the latter won the day and Gentiles were allowed into the church, again, ensuring that the earliest Christians viewed the movement of Jesus as being essentially transnational and transcultural.
While having a US flag in the sanctuary will not necessarily stop the work of the church here is a question that I always find myself asking when I am in sanctuaries where a US flag is present. The question is, "why?" Why is it necessary? If our allegiance is to the Kingdom of God, our deepest loyalties are not bound by any national boundaries or someone's foreign or economic policy interests. Therefore, having a US flag just seems distracting from both the local community focus of our mission as well as the global nature of our missional vision.
There are other battles to fight that are simply of greater importance and the flag debate is one we need to put behind us.

I am doing as told ("stop right now") and sending you my news, although little has changed. I am still working full time at PATH on breast and cervical cancer in low-resource settings. Last month I attended the annual meeting of the International HPV society in Cape Town. It was a good meeting, but the most fun was the extra day I had at the end when I went down to Boulder Beach where there is a reserve for African penguins. There are wooden walkways down to the beach that take you within feet of these adorable little birds in tuxedos, who do not seem at all bothered by the hundreds of spectators gawking at them. In February, we had our whole family here in Seattle to celebrate my mother's 90th birthday, and in March Theta went down to LA to help his mother celebrate her 98th birthday! That is probably all you have room for, so I will stop there. I look forward, as always, to hearing how everyone is doing.
Marilyn Lawley Licciardello '69
Hi! I hosted a family and friends 2nd birthday party for my granddaughter Alaina Miguel at my home in Pennington NJ on Sunday April 23. She had been born deaf but had cochlear implants a little over a year ago and she is doing well with them. She understands a lot of language and is beginning to say words. It is a modern miracle. Last fall I acted in three local theater productions: "Our Town", "The Laramie Project", and "The Man Who Came to Dinner". In May I will host our annual meeting/pot luck dinner for my local Central NJ Wellesley Club.
Cindy Anderson
The "Shafer 5" (who lived in Shafer Tower suite 1968-1969 and close-by in Shafer before that) continue our tradition of annual get-togethers (not saying *reunion* exactly) by meeting this summer for 3 nights on campus at the Wellesley College Inn to celebrate our 70th birthdays in mutual support, and to explore the Vil and Boston again together.
As for me personally, I'm finally finding a *new voice* (to combat the dismal desperate feelings in D.C. metropolitan area now) by helping my church co-sponsor an Afghan refugee family that arrived in late February, and - more recently - signing on to the Environmental Protection Network, a group of former EPA staff (some lawyers, others who are experts in Air & Water issues, etc.) to continue to support current EPA staff and try to uphold environment and health policies through the media and otherwise.
Marches happen here and around the globe almost weekly, so that provides new (though, not necessarily welcome) opportunities to raise our voices - last week for Earth Day, the March for Science: this week the March re: Climate Change; May 1 a march on behalf of refugees and immigrants.
Best of all, my granddaughter continues to delight. She lives in Columbus, Ohio, but travels the world with her parents (my son and his wonderful wife [originally from Peru] and we try to follow them with visits wherever.
Karen Williamson
The only news I have (and I can't remember whether it was already reported) is the birth of my first grandson, Thomas Anthony Maher, who was born on December 20, 2016 in Sydney Australia, to my daughter Stephanie and her husband Gary Maher. Thomas and I share the same birthday so I'm planning on celebrating his first and my 70th somewhere in Australia.
It is sobering to read about the passing of three classmates. Take care of yourself. I'm looking forward to Reunion 2019!
Jan Adkins Ennis
I am delighted to report that our first grandchild, Jane Ennis-Golden, was born in February 2016 to my daughter, Christine, and her husband, Dan Golden, We're lucky to live nearby so we can help out and enjoy being with them. In November, I managed to get together with Spenta Captain Kandawalla and Linda Laning Shearman in NYC for a quick visit. Bonnie Sontag and I met in Portland and spent a fun day together enjoying the area near the water. More recently, the Women's March in DC was a great opportunity to spend the day with Nancy Wanderer, her partner, Susan and her son, Andrew, and to feel the support of so many people full of energy and ambition to get (or stay) involved and working together to support a wide variety of important causes. I know from email and the class FB page that there were many classmates there, but due to the crowds we were never able to connect.
Candace Young
I am now living in Vancouver, Washington, and working in the Portland area as a psychologist and psychoanalyst. I'm friends here with Jan Nichols Kasameyer and Susan Graber, both 69'ers. Jan and I are even in a regular dinner group and have been for years. Though resisting this year's turn to age 70 (still a few months off), I am still happily working part-time in a private practice. Also working on an article (possibly book) on resilience in a group of high-risk young people in the I Have a Dream program in SW Washington (with whom I have worked with for years). I would love to hear from any other classmates who have worked with this program or been sponsors.
My daughter Margaret is the drama teacher in a public high school here in Vancouver, a profession that fits like a glove my dramatic intuitive daughter who loves casting children of all ilks and talent levels in her productions. My son Peter is about to graduate from a joint degree program and earning his MPP from Duke and his MBA from UNC-Chapel Hill. After graduation he will work in DC at Booz Allen Hamilton as a consultant. Life is fuller than ever for me with travel, friends, work, writing, nonprofit boards, bridge, book club, enjoying the outdoors.I hope you are all well and have lives that continue to be rewarding and productive, in whatever forms those rewards or productivity might take.
Jane Gaylord
I am expecting my first grandaughter at any minute. My confirmed bachelor son got married at 41 and is making up for lost time. Gail Saxton is also expecting a new grandchild. Pretty exciting!
Linda Laning Shearman
My news is all about embracing change in our lives with hopefully grace and a sense of humor. This past year was rough. We experienced bankruptcy, something most Wellesley women won't ever have to face, followed by the sale of our beloved home of 39 years to downsize to a more manageable lifestyle. My husband has stage 4 prostate cancer which has spread to his bones. We are now going through alternate solutions through the Oasis of Hope in Tijuana MX. What an amazing place that really does offer hope for a cure, not just palliative care. So we have moved into a short term apartment rental in the home of our daughter's husband's parents while we decide whether to move south to Florida or west to be near our two daughters living in Oakland and Orange County. Our two precious granddaughters are a strong influence on our decision.
Throughout this time we have been buoyed by the angels in our lives -- lifelong friendships for which we are very grateful. Returning to the west coast April 1st we both ended up in the hospital April 7th. A double whammy. Am happy to report we are both home again recuperating. I believe that God was trying to tell me to slow down and let it go, but I didn't quite get the message. Have now heard it loud and clear. Spring has sprung here, my favorite time of the year, and my church, neighbors and children have all been with us offering love and support.
The future looks bright and we go forward with faith that all will be as it should be. God bless you all. Oh, who shall I contact about the hat band pattern? Have a little down time so should put it to good use😊.
Janet Hudgens Efron
Dear Ann, I agree wholeheartedly with the sentiment of your email. That is why I retired from my 40-year practice as a psychotherapist at Christmastime. I have spent the past four months--in the depths of a Maine winter--contemplating the transition with daily practices: journaling, meditating, sketching and poetry writing. Now I can add gardening! I am still contemplating the next chapter. I know it will contain immense gratitude for the time I have. I consider time my most valuable currency, and I plan to "spend" it thoughtfully.
Elisabeth Griffith
I may be able to shoot you a picture Monday morning, following my 70th birthday tea party on Sunday. I'm expecting Lynn Hoeffel Gadsden and husband Chris, who are anticipating the birth of another set of twin grandchildren this summer, and Adrian and Susan Kircheimer Doull, who are in the country from their usual abode in France. Karen Williamson will be there too, but Shaunagh Guinness Robbins will not be coming east until May when she takes up residence in Maine for the summer. She is thriving. Chris and Dectora Coe Jeffers had fundraising responsibilities for their church in Hartford, CT, but we hope to catch up this summer.
My history thesis advisor, Woodrow Wilson expert John Milton Cooper, Jr, and his wife Judy will be there too; he continues to encourage my history research and independent scholarship. I'm working on book about American women between the two marches on Washington, in 1913 and 2017.
I'm just back from a solo two week, 3150 mile road trip to visit civil rights, civil war and presidential sites in seven southern states. In Little Rock I visited both the Central High School national park and the WJ Clinton Library. The President was there, speaking about health care. What an adventure -- thank goodness for books on tape.

Sad, angry, depressed, horrified, despairing, enraged, disappointed but determined, I continue to teach history at Framingham State University. It's now more important than ever. Yesterday's class topic was activism in the 1960s and political tactics. For fun, I play a lot of bridge and ride my TB (thoroughbred) mare fast.
Barbara Baker
No report from me except that I am still working very hard as a Realtor in Cambridge. My daughter is at Brandeis, so I've got to keep that money coming in. So sad that we are losing so many each year.

I leave Miami for Italy today, so this has to be quick. Off for two weeks for a nine-day "Civility Seminar" in Tuscany for 15 Judges and Attorneys sponsored by Seattle U, traveling with a colleague from the northwest. We're spending a few days in the heart of Rome; my niece who lives in Madrid is flying up to join us. Seeing the Vatican Museum/Sistine Chapel has been a lifelong dream (minored in Art History). Then taking a side trip to Pompeii, hike up Vesuvius before heading up to Sovana, a medieval town in the mountains about halfway between Rome and Florence for the meeting and some fascinating tours of the area. I have always wanted to see these places, and thank my colleague for talking me into joining her (it took about 2 seconds).
Despite having "retired" 4 years ago after 42 years of Federal Service, I've been working full-time for the past 3 years as a Judge for the HHS Departmental Appeals Board in DC. Another colleague talked me into it, and I owe her for that; the job is wonderful; I may continue indefinitely.
My husband and the cat will be left in charge at home. He'll probably be glad to get rid of me for a couple of weeks. We're fortunate to be in pretty good health.

I'm sorry to contribute to the sad news: my husband, Joe, passed away on 07/30/2016. I'll be travelling to France next month to scatter his ashes near his ancestral home in Saintes. The happier news is that one of my brothers (John) and his wife will be with me and much of the trip will be making new memories as they have never travelled in Europe.
I took early retirement several years ago to take care of Joe. It just wasn't possible to manage a programming department part-time (Mass State Lottery). I do still consult a few days a week, which I sure hope has kept part of my brain functioning.

I don't know if you're following the imperilment of free speech at Wellesley, but I'm very upset about it. Enough so that I have notified the college development department not to expect additional contributions from me until the administration and board speak out in support of free speech everywhere on campus. I know that we liberals are responsible for the rise of "free speech zones" and "safe spaces," but it has gone beyond ridiculous. My education at Wellesley, before and after, taught me that all of America is a free speech zone. I will forward the article that set me off in a separate email. Anyway, the Wellesley issue is just another example of what has me so upset in the Trump era!
Ray and I are currently in Amsterdam. Heading to Bruges and London. Very chilly -- and of course perfect spring weather in Atlanta.

I've been lax for too long about connecting with you all through our Class Notes. It's time for a change..., since I feel so much better about myself and more strongly committed to helping others than ever before in my life. I've been on some wonderful trips the last several years, including to Sri Lanka, Qatar, Mali, Senegal and Burkina Faso, Burma, Laos and Thailand, Alaska, London, Paris, Ireland, Italy, et.al., much of this with my treasured "un-husband" of thirteen years, Bill, an adventurous traveling companion and loving, supportive partner who gives me space to explore my own endeavors and personal growth. These activities have ranged from projects with several non-profits, including the International Women's Health Coalition and advisory work with social enterprises such as Malo, a Malian rice production and distribution company, and Change Finance, a US impact investment firm, to owning and managing a small "de facto" affordable rental apartment project, to working on you-know-whose Presidential campaign (which brought me in touch with terrific classmates and other Wellesley women), to then going to a yoga and meditation retreat; continuing to do Pilates, swim, hike and bike; work with both a wise and knowing wellbeing coach and competent, thoughtful nutritionist; and engage more deeply in both self-reflection and reaching out more to others, hopefully with better listening and greater compassion and kindness. A recent highlight has been, while on a visit with Marilyn Hagstrom Sharpe, going with her and several friends to a nearby Minneapolis mosque to show our support for their members, where we were deeply thanked and much appreciated. A profoundly moving experience!
Besides feeling fortunate to have good health (the removal of cataracts and replacement of a hip along the way being minor detractions), I am so blessed at this point in my life to feel the joy of, and strong connection with, a truly close family. Technically, I am an only child and have no biological children, but now I have several dear sisters, especially two or three with whom I've connected ever more deeply since our days by Lake Waban, and several treasured children. I've become Mama to a Sri Lankan couple whose wedding procession and ceremony I participated in (alongside their other parents) and will soon be grandmother to their first child; I'm a friend/parent to a bright, lovely young Greek woman who is a student at Wheaton and currently studying at the Sorbonne: and I'm (local) parent to the daughter of my longest-time friend from third grade who is dying of ALS (I will host a wedding party for her in NYC in July). All are adored!
Hoping many of you will be interested in helping me (and contributing!) to write a different book about our class. Rather than a follow-up narrative about our class as part of a generation of "rebels in white gloves," how about thoughts on "coming of age" anew through new beginnings, next steps, growing younger and feeling more energized and vital at age 70? If interested, please email me your thoughts to firstname.lastname@example.com. or call/text me at 917-596-4309. Still Suzy to all of you!
Gail Saxton
Since the last reunion, I have been able to put my enthusiasm for native plants to work as a volunteer for our local Audubon Society's Bring Conservation Home program. For a nominal fee, homeowners interested in beefing up their landscaping for the benefit of birds and other wildlife can arrange a consultation with Audubon volunteers, and receive a lengthy report with many suggestions. St. Louis is a real hot spot for this type of conservation effort. Highlight of this week was watching a Monarch butterfly lay eggs on tiny shoots of Purple Milkweed that I had just uncovered in a patch of weeds.
If your deadline were as few weeks later, I would have actual news to report — the arrival of Grandbaby #3, due in mid-May. I am thrilled at the prospect of getting a bonus decade of sewing doll clothes, etc.

Justine Kent Uritam and I had a surprise mini-reunion in February when we ran into each other at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art. We were both in town to visit grandchildren who live too far away from us. But I'm so grateful to have my two little granddaughters there, plus the other one in Asheville, NC) that I can't complain too much about the distance. There are so many joys in this stage of life, along with all the losses.
Janet McDonald Hill
Calvin and I went to the Final Four with our son, Grant, who broadcast the game for CBS. I am still traveling 10 days each month for 5 corporate boards (Wendy's, Dean Foods, Carlyle Group, Esquire Bank, Echo360) and 4 non-profits that are equally demanding (Duke Trustees, Kennedy Center Trustees, Wolf Trap Performing Arts Center, Knight Commission on Intercollegiate Athletics). I am a strong advocate for women on corporate boards and spoke on that topic to the NYC Young Presidents Organization last week and the Women's Center Northern Virginia conference of 800 women this week. A few weeks ago I visited the YWCA in DC where our own Karen Williamson is Chair of the Board. I also had dinner with Nancy Gist who looks great. My husband is in his 20th year as a consultant to the Dallas Cowboys so we look forward to the upcoming pro football season. Finally, I have two grand daughters who are...you guessed it...athletes. The 15 year old is the point guard for Lake Highland Prep girls team and the 9 year old is a select soccer player. Life is busy with manageable drama in it. Looking forward to our big 50th reunion...

This July, I will celebrate seven years of remission from multiple myeloma, following my stem-cell transplant in July 2010. I am in full gear, serving on several boards, including Maine Legal Services for the Elderly and the Western Maine Wellesley Club, and was just elected president of our retirement community's governing board. My son and grandsons are moving to Uganda this summer, which, unfortunately, is not any closer than Nairobi, where they have been living for the past 4 years. Luckily, my other son Andrew continues to live much closer in Arlington, VA
Christine (Chrissy) Jones Huber
I am so sorry to read of the passing of three classmates. It makes me feel that I need to finish up whatever I need to do, because we don't know how long we have. I am still grieving the loss of my cousin Barbara Morris Caspersen '67, who died suddenly in November. Conversely, Barbara's friend and classmate, Helen (Sunny) Ladd '67, is celebrating her many years as a Professor of Economics and an Education expert at the Sanford School of Public Policy at Duke University. She is not exactly retiring, but transitioning towards it.
I have been working with siblings to clean out my parents' house. Unfortunately they never heard of Marie Kondo's work on de-cluttering. We found boxes that had not been opened since 1962, her dance cards from Barnard College, my Dad's Navy records from the submarine service in WWII, and a lot of pictures of the rear ends of horses, taken as he was driving his carriage.
Currently, I am working on a re-planting of our family cemetery in Oak Hill, WV on a farm that has been in our family since 1850. Oak Hill is a once prosperous coal town that needs to find a future, so I am not sure what the next generation will do there, but at least I am partnering with my siblings and cousins to keep the land.
In May, Janet Prior Notopoulos, Lucie Leavell Vogel, Noelle Miller, Diana Human Frazier and I plan to have a mini reunion in New York City.
Susan Fowler Bryant
The last three years have been a blur of medical appointments, what seemed like eternal waits, and procedures ever since Rob, my spouse of 46 years, was told he needed a liver transplant. He finally received a healthy liver in May 2016 and is doing really well. Our gratitude to the donor and his/her family and to Mass General Hospital is boundless
My personal sanity was due in large part to five close Wellesley friends! What a great gift of thoughtful emails, phone calls and cheerful visits. The best part has been seeing all five over the course of the three years despite geographic challenges. We see Ted and Wendy Reuter Osborn every summer when they come east from Oregon; Kase and Janet Nichols Kasameyer have visited from Oregon as well; we get together for a long lunch with Ray and Kit Schneider Sawyer come from Cleveland to visit their daughter's family in Amherst, MA; Maria Campagna Klein from MN spent a week cheering us; and Eileen Meade St. Onge and I shared hospital stories while her husband was also a frequent patient at MGH. It definitely takes a village of Wellesley women to weather any crisis.
And after 15 + years in NH, Rob and I have decided to leave snow, cold and ice behind and move to Bluffton, SC in 2018. Life is good.
Rebecca Vaughan Ward
Sally Muir and I had another adventure in NYC yesterday. We went to the Museum of the City of NY, then to the Central Park gardens and then to Amy Ruths in Harlem for lunch. Great time catching up…we hadn't had a NYC adventure all winter. Hightlight of the day was lunch. Amy Ruths is a Harlem institution serving southern comfort food. OMG…their chicken with waffles is SO good. I ate my entire portion…cleaned my plate…and ate all of my mac and cheese too! Sally was more circumspect…had a salad instead of mac and cheese, didn't lick her plate, but DID share a huge portion of peach cobbler with me. Anyone who hasn't been to the city for a while, and is thinking "Harlem", is way behind the times. Harlem is getting so gentrified that it is like being in Chelsea. Probably not a good thing for people getting pushed out, but a great thing for the old restaurants and the new ones popping up everywhere.
So, if you are going to be in NYC north of the park, think Columbia for example, I would highly recommend Amy Ruths!
Hope all is well with everyone and am already thinking of our 50th.
Bonnie Sontag
Having attended the Boston Women's March in January, I was taking a wait-and-see approach to finding the right local cause for my pent-up energy. Along came the Newburyport (MA) Women's Political Caucus, mission: to get women involved in running for office and volunteering for boards and commissions in our local area. I was just reappointed to my fourth five-year term on the Planning Board. Based on this experience and my broad exposure to local politics, I'm doing what I love to do – networking and mentoring. I was an almost-art history major at Wellesley. Now I get to indulge that passion as a docent at a regional museum where I create and lead tours on any topic I find interesting. I'm doing my best to turn frustration and disappointment in our body politic into positive outcomes locally and for myself.

After spending a week with Jim cruising around the Netherlands and Belgium, I'm joining Peggy Czyzak Dannenbaum on a walk along Hadrian's Wall, across the narrowest part of England and filled with Roman ruins, the wall being the primary one. Then I'll escape the Texas heat for our home in Harbor Springs, Michigan.
Nancy Herron
So, I am retiring in three months (July 28), after almost 40 years in social work, which has been just the right profession for me. I will be 70 two weeks before I retire, so that seems a good stopping point. But I haven't the faintest idea what I'm going to do. I am afraid of staying in my PJs reading the paper until 11:30 am.
And eating too much. So, what do you do? I'm looking for suggestions.
Anne Pope Allen
Life has blossomed fuller and busier since retiring from teaching - how can that be?! I am active in our church serving on the vestry and volunteering for FISH - for immediate sympathetic help - food and funds for the needy. Our church also has a very active theater group and Tom and I have been in many musicals over the years… Guys and Dolls and Music Man to name a few. I am involved with an organization, P.E.O., that raises money to help women achieve their education -- undergraduate as well as graduate and post-graduate education. We support women in this country as well as women from many other nations. I find myself delighted to be surrounded by my eight grandchildren often and take great joy seeing them grow and become more involved in their expanding world. We have grandchildren aged from an almost-teenager to one who is just one year-old! It keeps me busy and shows me why only younger people have little children -- it is exhausting! I have been concerned about the rising conflicts in our world -- especially as I have a son who is in the Air Force special ops business who is just now abroad for a one-year remote assignment. I eagerly await July when he is to return. I pray for peace and good feeling within the nation and without. I am so proud of Hillary's courage to run for president. I thank her for that gift to all of us of her time, energy and remarkable talent. As I am staring 70 in the near future (can that be?!) I am planning to travel -- quickly while we still can! I also fill my days with knitting, quilting and reading and love that fact that at this age I can skip making supper and just hop off to the movies with Tom. Life is good!
Jane Hopengarten Moss
I have retired from teaching after 41 years and am now a Visiting Scholar at Duke. I am still actively engaged in scholarly pursuits, mainly as Editor of the bilingual, interdisciplinary journal Québec Studies. My husband Pete and I are still in Pinehurst, NC.

I have been dealing with the choppy seas of diverticulitis lately but not in Antarctica last December! We had the dream trip of a good Drake's Passage and wonderful sightings and landings. Silverseas Excursions provided superb guides and zodiac drivers, and even I got my fill of penguins. Also enjoyed hiking in Tierra Del Fuego Park and around Iguazu Falls. We flew over Lima, Peru on the return early Christmas morning to red, green, and white fireworks and holiday songs and clapping a la South America onboard. Enjoyed seeing Frani Rusan Wilson at our new president's LA appearance – so inspiring! I look forward to our 50th with some puzzlement: how did we shoot through the rabbit hole this fast?
Ann Landsberg
Heading into my 70th (!) birthday I got my best present ever! A new grandson! Born in Boston just in time, on the Ides of March no less, Leonardo is the firstborn child of my older son James and his wife (not a Wellesley grad but close - Hampshire). I am beyond over-the-moon for this little boy for whom I feel a deep and many-layered attachment that amazes me. And as I am not a particularly happy or skilled knitter (Leo's mom is), I am going to contribute my vocal talents instead and record a personalized CD for Leo of a bunch of lullabies we have been working on this winter -- classical, traditional, and popular. I'm pretty excited about this project. So now, on those restless nights we all have, I ought to be able to sing myself to sleep too! I am still very busy with our local Wellesley Club and continue to run the Western Maine Club's Book Awards program. Volunteering and OLLI classes, plus chorus and voice lessons round out my "free time."

I'm attaching the link ( https://www.wellesley.edu/davismuseum/whats-on/past/node/90206) to the show that was at the Davis last fall. Charlotte Brooks, a close family friend, was the only female staff photographer at LOOK magazine and it's a long story, but the Davis became interested in doing this show a few years ago when I approached them about donating one of Charlotte's photographs (none in the collection). One became 16 and have been given to the permanent collection with some other material as a 1969 50th reunion gift from me. It was an extraordinary experience to work with the curator and director. The museum is a jewel. Thought I'd send this as happy news.

I am expecting my first granddaughter at any minute. My confirmed bachelor son got married at 41 and is making up for lost time. Gail Suzedell Saxon is also expecting a new grandchild. Pretty exciting!
Karen Beyard
Last time I submitted something was 1991 when I was being braggy about my job. Life has different rewards now.
I retired from university teaching and administration in 2014, and spent a joyous spring semester in Jerusalem while my husband Don Ellis was a Lady Davis Fellow at Hebrew University. It was my 9th and longest visit to Israel, and I love inviting friends, including Margo Turrentine In 2005, to travel the country. I returned in June to a part-time gig as a synagogue librarian and volunteer work with a lively group of congregants in their 80s and 90s. Like many of our classmates, I have a grandchild to adore and two great grownup kids to be proud of. And I am wondering if there are other classmates like me who have changed religions (I converted to Judaism at 44).

Alma Chua: The undisputed queen of filipina bar girls.
Alma Chua is the atomic sized breasted queen of all the filipina bar girls without a doubt. No one else has even come close to her achievements, and I think a lot of these country girls look up to her. She has become quite a scandalous celebrity back in Manila, even hosting her own TV show for a while. Basically she and all the other girls who have gone wrong in the sex industry go on and tell their stories and cry for forgiveness. Cos the Philippines is a largely Catholic country they really understand forgiveness and atonement etc.. Alma is a force of nature and one of the few girls I know who has broken out of the downward spiral of the Angeles City bar scene. You can see all of this Alma Chua gallery here. And of course if you want more you should know that she is entirely exclusive to Teen Filipina.

Jesse James started to aimlessly walk around when the thought sprang to mind.
Jesse James started to aimlessly walk around when the thought sprang to mind.
"Am I still on fire?" he asked himself.
Yep. He was on fire all right.
While wearing a uniform to protect his skin from burns for a few seconds, he stayed ablaze for 30 seconds for his new stunt series "Jesse James Is a Dead Man" (debuting 10 p.m. Sunday on Spike TV). On the show, James subjects himself to a variety of high-octane adventures just to see how much he can endure.
He breaks the sound barrier, races around a track at 200 miles per hour and gets blisters in places no man should have them.
"Dead Man" is a return to series TV for James, who is best known as the star of "Monster Garage" on the Discovery Channel. On that show, the worst that could happen would be a missed deadline or the right parts didn't come in.
With "Dead Man," he has set a limit to what viewers will see. The show will be nothing like MTV's "Jackass." "I'm not going to use a staple gun on my (backside)," he says. "I will be rapidly learning some skills and trying to master those and not get killed."
Other highlights for the week of May 31-June 6 (check local listings):
"Into the Storm" (9 p.m. HBO). Winston Churchill (Brendan Gleeson) goes to France with his family and reflects on his life.
"The Tonight Show" (11:30 p.m. NBC). Conan O'Brien takes over as the new host.
"Smile Pinki" (7 p.m. HBO). A 5-year-old India girl looks for help with her cleft lips.
"The Listener" (10 p.m. NBC). A paramedic uses his telepathy to help victims.
"Whale Wars" (9 p.m. Animal Planet). A second season begins for the crew of the Sea Shepherd.

Nahna, a Kisumu based artist has released a new love hit and video titled "Baby Gochna" meaning Baby Call Me.
This is a song about a lover telling their partner to call them because they miss each other since they live quite a distance from one another.
The lovers miss each other so much that all they can do to shorten the distance is listen to each other's voice.
Lovers in long distance relationships whose only form of communication is through calls, messaging or video calls can easily identify with this lovely track.
"Baby Gochna" was inspired by how people use phones, how they complain about network problems and how quick they are to ask to be called back.
Nahna's genre of music is Afro fusion with a touch of Dholuo, Kiswahili and English.
She previously released a hot video titled "Paro" that was produced by the legendary Ulopa Ngoma.
The Dance moves in "Baby Gochna" were choreographed by Yawa Dancers and Stepper Wolves Dancers.
