I wrote in my last column that Lynel Winters
ran the Marine Corps marathon in Washington,
DC, in October 2011, in honor of her late
husband, James Zimmerman ’08. Lynel had
hoped to raise $2,500 for Tragedy Assistance
Program for Survivors (TAPS). She exceeded her
goal, raising $4,250! We’re proud of you, Lynel!
She ran the Boston marathon on April 16, this
time to support the Run for the Fallen Maine, a
volunteer organization with the mission to keep
alive the names and memories of our fallen
heroes from Maine and those who had strong
family ties to Maine.
Hope to hear from you soon, Class of 2006!

the news following her recent appearance on
“Survivor.” She recently visited the Teen Voices
group at Mt. Blue Middle School in Farmington
to drop off journals for the students and to share
her experiences setting and achieving goals
through basketball, Miss USA, and “Survivor”
experiences. Teen Voices is a group of female
students who meet regularly with college
students and read female-centered books with

in young teens. Ashley also climbed Mount
Kilimanjaro in January to raise money for the

school for abused, orphaned, and abandoned
children in Kenya. She not only raised thousands
of dollars for the program but also volunteered
