John Shedwick celebrated his 25th
anniversary as pastor of the First
Presbyterian Church of Woodbury
Heights, N.J. He and his wife, Dottie,
have been married for 36 years and are
the parents of two and grandparents
of four. Their daughter, Christina,
followed in her mother’s footsteps as
a teacher and has one daughter. Son
Brad graduated from the Naval Academy,
served for six years, and now works for
the government. He is the father of
three boys. John encourages friends to

I am saddened to report that two
of our classmates died after long and
courageous battles with cancer.
Glenn Falkenstern was a lifetime
resident of Norwood, N.J. A graduate
of Old Tappan (N.J.) High School,
he earned an MBA from Fairleigh
Dickinson University. His wife, Patricia;
sons, David and Kevin; sister, Joyce;
and mother, Jessie, survive him.
Dennis Corriveau earned a master’s
degree from the University of Vermont.
He was a founding partner of Service
Design Associates (SDA) of Raleigh,
N.C., a company that helped municipal
governments collect delinquent child
support payments. After selling SDA,
Dennis continued his work in the field
of child support collections through his
own company and later as a consultant
to PSI of Denver, Colo. His wife, Beth
Ann; children, Steven and Michelle; and
his mother, Jenny, survive him.
The members of the Class of ’73
extend their condolences to the families
of these two fine gentlemen.

I am saddened to report that Paula
Stringer Crane passed away at her
home in Jonesboro, Ga., Oct. 18,
2009. After college, she achieved
several health care certifications as
an addiction counselor. Paula became
associated with Clayton Behavioral
Health in 1994. In 1996, she founded
a residential substance abuse program
for the Clayton Center. Paula became
CEO in early 2009, managing 300
employees and overseeing the needs
of Clayton County, Ga., residents in the
areas of mental health, developmental
disabilities, and addictive diseases.
Over the years, Paula served on
many committees and boards in her
community, including Clayton Cares,
Georgia School of Addiction Studies,
and Georgia Community Service Board
Association.
On a happier note, congratulations
to Diane Vollweiler Elliott, who was
appointed in March as executive
director of New Bethany Ministries
in Bethlehem, Pa. A nonprofit, New
Bethany serves the poor, homeless, and
mentally ill in the Lehigh Valley. New
Bethany is working toward building a
larger services center on the South Side
of Bethlehem and must raise $2.3
million for that project. In her prior
role at Lafayette, Diane served in the
president’s office, oversaw legislative
affairs and federal grants and worked as
the College’s public service director. In
addition, she is a former Northampton
County Council member and cofounder
and former director of the
Lehigh Valley Land Recycling
Initiative.
Ken Ross writes from Cupertino,
Calif. He works as a principal systems
engineer for Science Applications,
which in February acquired his
previous employer, CloudShield
Technologies. Ken published several
papers this year on subjects related to
advanced computing and will present
one in September at the International
Conference on Parallel Computing
in San Diego.
Darlyne Bailey is thrilled to report
that she is back in the Northeast and
close to her alma mater. She now works
at Bryn Mawr College as dean of the
Graduate School of Social Work and
Research and as special assistant to the
president for community partnerships.
Darlyne writes that she has “a dream
job that allows me to be surrounded
by incredible folks while fully living my
passions.” She adds that she is “finally
listening to what I have written,
taught, and ‘preached’: The seeming
detours in life are truly part of the
Path. Staying ‘awake’ to all ensures that
you will be able to give and receive
many unanticipated blessings.”
Congratulations to Bob and Dee
Jacob. Their son Paul and Erica Boyd
