schoolchildren for 5 years.
Eliza wrote a book, The
Yellow Bag, which tells children
how exciting it is to
be a therapy dog…I know
as I have one, too. Brenda
and Greg are fortunate to
have both daughters in
the area. Margaret is an
assistant professor at the
Community College of RI
and Sarah is an equestrian
who trains and teaches
dressage. Brenda’s oldest
granddaughter is a chemistry
major at the U of MA
Dartmouth and would like
to be a large animal vet.
Their 2nd oldest granddaughter
is a small animal
sciences major at Bristol
Agricultural High School.
When not working with her
dogs, Brenda plays bridge,
gardens and reads as
much about Shakespeare
as possible. They enjoy
attending Shakespeare and
Company performances in
Lenox, MA. Sarah “Sally”
Stevens Johnson Rood
says Morgan loves food
and she loves to cook.
She enjoys being outside,
walks, library visits, and
PBS and sports on TV. She
has found the Internet addictive,
especially helpful
with an Alaska Gold Rush
journal. Barb Swanson
Smith and Lyman are
happy at home on the
top of Jolly Farm Road.
They went to visit Ellen
Cook Barnes in GA. Sally
Kimball Campbell and Tom
welcomed a new grandchild
in June. Judith “Judy”
Butler Shea has been
babysitting in UT and still
enjoys skiing. I, Patricia
“Patty” Canby Colhoun,
have just returned from a
week in Paris visiting my
daughter, Annie. Now I am
getting ready to head back
to Boothbay, ME, for the
summer with my Toller,
McKinley and my Lab,
Charlie, who is a Reading
Therapy Dog. We worked
with 2 students this year
and will start earlier when
I return in Oct. While in
ME I will volunteer at the
Y front desk, help with
a kiosk at St. Andrews
Hospital, play golf and
mahjong, and enjoy being
back with old friends.

Martha Clark lives in
Hanover, NH, and is a
member of the President’s
Alumni Advisory Council
at CSC. She enjoys keeping
up to date on the college.
The meetings are twice a
year and are all-day events.
Nancy Hemmings Fuchs

a member of the council.
Diane Tefft Young in
Columbus, OH, had a single
lung transplant on Oct.
10, 2010, at the Cleveland
Clinic. Her diagnosis is
idiopathic pulmonary
fibrosis. Diane wrote a
book about her transplant
experience called
Humbled by the Gift of Life:
Reflections On Receiving
a Lung Transplant, which
is available on amazon.
com. Her son and daughter-in-law,
along with their
children, have been an
amazing support system.
Diane still works part time
as a chemical dependency
counselor. She says
she enjoys seeing fellow
alum Sally Reynolds Carlin
several times a year. Susan
Heath Bint had lunch with
Taska Wakefield Hener
’62 MT in Falmouth, MA.
They enjoyed catching up
and sharing memories
from the good old college
days. I’ve heard a lot
of favorable comments
regarding the new look of
the CSC alumni magazine.
It’s a nice and welcome
change. I hope all is well
with everyone and wishing
good health to all.
