1943<br />
Janet Trowbridge Bohlen traveled to the Canadian<br />
Arctic to see polar bears and other wildlife on<br />
the edge of the Hudson Bay. She writes, “With<br />
us were Martin and Muggy Hoffmann, parents<br />
of <strong>Potomac</strong>kers Bern ‘86, Bill ’79 and Heidi ‘77,<br />
and Russell ’33 and Aileen Train, grandparents<br />
of Emily Rowan ’04 and parents of Errol ’74<br />
and Bowdie Train. Brilliant starlight long absent<br />
from our urban skies served as a backdrop to<br />
spectacular aurora borealis.”<br />

Ann Walker Gaffney enjoys being on the board of<br />
Green-Wood, the historic 400-plus acre cemetery<br />
in the middle of Brooklyn. She writes, “Love to<br />
take friends there, so call me if you are in the city!<br />
Art continues to be my love and occupation. I<br />
publish and sell a calendar of black-and-white<br />
photographs of Brooklyn Heights and also<br />
postcards with drawings of the architectural styles<br />
in the Heights.”<br />
1954<br />
Olga Skow writes of her stint in the Peace Corps<br />
(2003/2004) in the highlands of Sofala Province<br />
in Mozambique. She taught about 350 8th graders<br />
(90% boys) beginning English in a Mission school<br />
in the district of Gorongosa. As a result of this<br />
experience, she started raising money in 2005 for<br />
a scholarship fund for 20 poor but academically<br />
qualified girls from that district to go from 8th<br />
through 10th grades at the Mission school.<br />
