My husband Rhett, daughter Savannah<br />
and I have moved to D.C. for a year.<br />
We are here to learn Greek. The Air<br />
Force is sending us there for two years.<br />
I will be teaching and my husband,<br />
who was selected as a scholar, will be<br />
studying a nontechnical degree. It is<br />
quite an honor to be selected to do<br />
this, so we are, of course, very excited!<br />
We are also expecting our second child!<br />

Heather Edwards ’00. I live in the<br />
Western mountains of Maine in<br />
Rangeley. I have a year-round job as a<br />
lab tech at the little dentist office here,<br />
Susan Freitag, ’00.<br />
which is kinda funny because they let<br />
me take X-rays and use hand-pieces! In<br />
the winter, I babysit and work at<br />
Saddleback Mountain and in the summer<br />
I work on a wonderful organic<br />
farm. There is plenty of time to play<br />
and frolic. I miss the desert and my<br />
gang. Love to all and sweet dreams!<br />

Anne Kretschmann ’00. After a brief<br />
Exciting news from<br />
Seattle...On Aug. 27, I<br />
became engaged!<br />
When Steve and I<br />
were mountaineering<br />
in Alberta he<br />
proposed on top of a<br />
mountain in the<br />
snow! It was<br />
snowing, cold, and we<br />
were tied onto a rope<br />
team. Just as we<br />
were reaching the<br />
summit he slid the ring down to me on an engraved carabiner that<br />
read ‘will you marry me?’ Of course I was crying as soon as I saw the<br />
ring and he actually had to read it to me, because I couldn’t see. He<br />
got down on his knee and then I became his future wife. Amazing and<br />
unforgettable. Many of you from the PC community mean more than<br />
you will ever know to me... whether we met on a course or passed<br />
each other at Sam Hill. I send you all smiles and thanks for all the<br />
incredible times and memories! adventurechic98005@yahoo.com.<br />
Masseuse works magic<br />
at Summer Olympics<br />
Judy Boyer *04, was a volunteer sports massage therapist at<br />
the Summer Olympics in Athens. She was chosen as a member<br />
of the Athens Health Services Sports Massage Team<br />
2004. In her capacity as masseuse for Olympic athletes, she<br />
worked on “amazing athletes from every continent” in addition<br />
to providing therapy for volunteer staff, doctors, nurses,<br />
and physiotherapists with whom she was working.<br />
“Participating in a meaningful way in the grandest athletic<br />
event on the planet is a way to help the world see that expert<br />
massage therapy is not a luxury but an essential part of a<br />
health maintenance program for all people,” she said.<br />
As a result of her Olympic experience, Boyer has been<br />
invited to return to Athens to teach seminars on manual therapy<br />
for sports injuries to medical residents in physical rehabilitation<br />
medicine. She will be returning to Greece in early<br />
2005 to teach. Boyer owns Prescott Center for Massage<br />
Therapy.<br />
stay in the Pacific Northwest, I have<br />
returned to the desert of Arizona. I am<br />
working as a biologist for Arizona Game<br />
and Fish. I work with endangered fish<br />
(razorback suckers) on the Colorado<br />
River and other areas of the state.<br />
Occasionally, I am able to get out to help<br />
with other animals as well. I am<br />
extremely happy to be putting my<br />
Prescott College training to ‘work’ for<br />
me in doing what I love and believe in. I<br />
welcome PC ‘kids’ to contact me when<br />
in the Arizona area! aneni@hotmail.com.<br />

James Reinhold ’00. I have recently<br />
returned to Southern California (one<br />
year ago today) to take a job as outdoor<br />
program director at a small camp in the<br />
San Gabrial Mountains. It has been<br />
truly amazing to be back in the<br />
desert/mountainous range again after<br />
living in the beautiful but wet and<br />
buggy region of mid-coast Maine. It<br />
has been a truly wonderful, challenging,<br />
and exciting year for me in this<br />
new position, and I now have a much<br />
greater respect for those in administra-<br />
