REGIS TODAY 

Build, Send Forth, Do Not Hold Back 

Regis College has come a long way since 9/11, when the destruction of 

the World Trade Center towers in New York labeled our campus a temporary 

civil defense shelter for Weston residents. In a changed world, 

my own Regis education informed my message to campus the next day: 

Today and in the months to come we assert more firmly our educational 

mission, our commitment to understand, to teach, to act, to seek 

the deeper wisdom of faith and knowledge…. Our preparation for the 

new world that has overtaken us is actually already in place…. To 

build and not destroy, to send forth and not hold back, to move to the 

next integration…. 

Five years later, on August 31, 2006, the next integration was taking 

shape. Regis had passed the halfway mark of this transformational 

This fall Regis has the 

decade, and the argument was clear: To thrive in the 21st century, 

largest freshman class Regis had to grow. The “Case for Growth” became our strategic plan. 

in its history. 

This fall Regis has the largest freshman class in its history (300), 

and nearly 90 percent of the class wants to live on campus. For the 

first time in over a decade, the budget shows a bit of a surplus. Since 

2007, the number of young men choosing Regis has grown, this year reaching a milestone: 

Regis men constitute 30 percent of the class of 2014. The national passage of health care 

reform has advanced the cause of nurse practitioners and nursing faculty, stimulating enrollment 

in our master’s and doctoral programs. Enrollment in Health and Regulatory Policy, 

Health Administration, and Radiography master’s programs has taken off. Recognizing our 

leadership in nursing education, HRSA this year has awarded Regis College Nursing over 

$900,000 in scholarships and nursing faculty loans for master’s and doctoral programs. 

Faculty in our two Schools are opening fresh approaches for Regis students—pairing 

sociology and religious studies in a course on spirituality and community service; examining 

the theology of the workplace; matching English and theater; developing the communications 

of health care; dovetailing a public health minor with myriad majors—and beginning 

to embrace the interdisciplinary Pathways of Achievement that will help students reach 

their professional goals. At the same time, faculty are nearing completion of an assessment 

method that outlines “signature” assignments for students and helps them develop a portfolio 

of accomplishments measuring their advancement. 

In 2010, Regis is a co-educational, intergenerational, graduate and undergraduate campus 

where women and men athletes belonging to the New England Collegiate Conference (2011) 

emphasize both academic achievement and sportsmanship. A campus where the Children’s 

Center, kindergarten, and Lifelong Learning program connect children, traditional-age 

college students, young adults in the workforce, and seniors from the neighborhood in the 

adventure of learning. 

The search for a new president of the College is well underway, and a new studentcentered 

Regis website is bright with the faces of undergrads and graduate students, young 

and mature, diverse and multicultural women and men. The precarious 21st century finds 

Regis positioned to succeed with its mission of educational excellence, service and leadership.

NEWS UPDATE 

Response Swift in the Wake 

of Murder on Campus 

BY M.J. DOHERTY ’67, PH.D. 

Recently, the Regis College community was 

seriously shaken. 

Early on the morning of September 24, two 

young men were stabbed in the Angela Hall parking 

lot, and one of them, 18-year-old Elhadji Malick 

Ndiaye of Waltham, the only son of immigrants from 

Senegal, was killed. This was completely heartbreaking 

for his family, and, in a different way, for Regis. 

The men who were stabbed were not Regis students.Verbal 

conflict developed in the foyer of Angela 

Hall in a chance meeting between them and a group 

of student guests leaving campus and spilled out 

into the parking lot. 

On September 30, Middlesex County District 

Attorney Gerard Leone announced the arrest of 

Robenson Daniel, 20, of Boston, and charged him 

with murder, assault and battery with a dangerous 

weapon (two counts), assault with a dangerous 

weapon, and armed assault with the intent to murder. 

Daniel is a Wheelock College student. 

The police investigation is continuing, and the 

College is cooperating with authorities. 

A murder on our campus flew in the face of the 

reality that Regis is a peaceful community that has 

zero tolerance for violence and for behaviors placing 

the community at risk. Any students who violated 

the College’s policies have also been the subject of 

Regis College action, up to and including immediate 

and indefinite suspension and removal from campus. 

In compliance with federal regulations, the College 

is not releasing names. 

Heeding advice of experts in trauma response 

and crisis communication, the college has returned 

to normalcy, but with added security. We resumed 

classes and went forward with Founders’ Day 

ceremonies, Cap and Gown, the Graduate Program 

Reception, and Homecoming, and the campus is 

recovering its spirit. 

Investigators did not judge that there was any 

additional danger from the perpetrator, but to 

assuage fears, every residence hall has police presence 

24/7 during this crisis, and daytime foot patrols 

have been doubled. A police officer is on duty 24/7 in 

Angela Hall where the Children’s Center is located. 

We also monitor Walters Hall where the Academy 

Kindergarten is located. 

Regis received praise from investigators for our 

routine security measures, which include a high-end 

lighting system on building entrances and parking 

lots; video surveillance security cameras in entryways 

and on parking lots; locked residence halls 

(24/7) accessible only to those with card access; a 

Campus Police escort for any member of the campus 

community at night. These security measures helped 

with the investigations. 

With grief counselors available and campus security 

stepped-up, President England put out a call to 

action to students on September 27: “I am asking all 

of you to learn from this experience, summoning all 

of you to a new realization of your responsibility as 

members of this community—a new care regarding 

your social interactions.” 

For many decades Regis has reached out to immigrant 

and first generation students. We have cultivated 

a remarkable, global diversity on campus. This 

is a tremendous achievement already, and still a 

worthwhile work-in-progress. We trust that all who 

belong to Regis will continue to carry this work to its 

goal, social justice for all, “before the silver cord is 

snapped or the golden bowl is broken…and the spirit 

returns to God who made it,” as Ecclesiastes says.

Outlook: A Lot Rosier 

(Since Mary Smalarz began providing health care to homeless women) 

By KiM ASCH 

The needs of the poor, homeless, hungry, and/or 

mentally ill women seeking refuge at Rosie’s Place 

don’t ebb and flow according to the academic calendar. 

That’s why, on a glorious Friday morning in early 

August, Associate Professor Mary Smalarz was busy 

tending to guests at this sanctuary of services and 

support in Boston. 

For the past 17 years, Smalarz has coordinated 

and supervised the Regis College Nursing outreach to 

Rosie’s, which staffs a wellness center four days per 

week from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m., not just during the fall 

and spring semesters but all through the year. During 

summers, Smalarz volunteers 24 hours a week 

with a smaller crew of nursing students who earn 

credit for their work. 

“Because we’re the only health care presence here, 

we’re not going to be fair-weather friends,” Smalarz 

said simply. 

Smalarz was inspired to partner with Rosie’s Place 

after Regis awarded its founder, Kip Tiernan, the 

honorary doctor of humanities degree in 1993. When 

Rosie’s Place opened its doors in 1974 it was the first 

women’s shelter in the city, staffer Anna Barbara 

Carter-Bruno said: “Kip Tiernan saw women dressing 

as men standing in soup lines because there was 

nothing for women. She said, ‘Oh, no. This can’t be.’” 

Since then, Rosie’s Place has evolved from providing 

meals and shelter to helping women from all 

socioeconomic backgrounds permanently improve 

their lives through advocacy, education, and affordable 

housing. Each year, 4,000 nutritionally balanced 

meals are served in the dining room, and each 

month, 1,250 women choose 20 to 40 pounds of free 

nonperishable food items and fresh produce from the 

groceries program. Rosie’s Place advocates schedule 

about 750 appointments each month with “guests,” 

as they are called, providing assistance with clothing, 

housing, educational and employment opportunities, 

legal advice, transportation, and emergency 

funds for eviction prevention and prescriptions. More 

than 600 women find shelter in the emergency and 

short-term housing. 

During a conversation with Tiernan on campus, 

Smalarz learned that health care was missing from 

this extensive menu of services. She got the idea 

that creating a wellness center at Rosie’s Place could 

benefit needy women as well as her nursing students, 

who are required to complete a community service 

experience with the medically underserved. 

“Mary was the 

perfect match for 

this organization. 

She and her 

nurses have made 

a huge difference 

in the lives of the 

poor and needy 

women who come 

here,” said Carter- 

Bruno, director 

of health and 

“I’ve always 

had a soft 

spot for the 

underdog.” 

nutritional services at Rosie’s Place. She was on staff 

when Smalarz first opened the wellness center in a 

makeshift space in a hallway alcove. “Her style of 

interacting with our guests is unconditional acceptance. 

She’ll do whatever she can for them, and that 

dedication does not change with the passage of time.” 

These days, the wellness center has its own space, 

an office, and a conference room right next to the 

dining room, “in the middle of the action,” Smalarz


said. Nursing students—many of whom are already 

working RNs studying to become licensed nurse 

practitioners—provide wellness care such as basic 

first aid, immunizations, blood pressure and blood 

sugar screenings, assessment of common health 

problems such as colds or flu, and assistance with 

scheduling health care appointments and finding 

primary care providers. Regis nursing faculty Pat 

Ciarleglio and Joanne Hyde have also volunteered 

during the summer months. 

Many of the women guests seeking care speak 

little English. Some struggle with mental illness, 

while others are uncomfortable talking with doctors. 

“We help them navigate the system,” Smalarz 

said. For example, if a woman comes in with very 

high blood pressure, a nurse will work with her to 

figure out why. Is the woman not taking her medication 

because it’s making her sick? Can she not afford 

the prescription? 

Rosie’s Place relies solely on private donations 

and does not accept medical insurance or funding 

from the government or the United Way. “We’re not 

bound by red tape,” said Smalarz. “So we can sit 

down for an hour with a woman and talk about her 

diet and her prescriptions and help her to sort it all 

out. We can help her articulate questions she should 

ask her doctor.” 

With Smalarz leading the way, the wellness center 

has expanded to include the services of volunteers 

from Boston University School of Dental Medicine, 

and Sargent College, and of doctors from the nonprofit 

organization Women of Means. “We have this 

interdisciplinary academic model with nursing students 

and med students working together,” she said. 

On a spectacular Friday in August, Luz Rey, 38, a 

student in Regis’s nurse practitioner program, was 

beginning her first day and had already completed 

an appointment with a woman from Guatemala who 

spoke only Spanish. Rey, a native of Colombia, was 

able to communicate and connect with her. “So i’ve 

already been able to make a difference,” she said. 

Bart Nelson, 26, also a nurse practitioner student, 

volunteered at Rosie’s Place last summer while 

studying for his RN degree and was just beginning 

another stint. He said he enjoys serving the community 

of needy women, but admitted, “it can be 

difficult to relate to them at times because their 

backgrounds are so different from mine. i try to put 

myself in their shoes.” 

Smalarz said she has learned “there’s a very fine 

line between us and them.” Especially with the ailing 

economy, she said, “we have a number of what 

you’d call ‘formerly middle-class women’ who have 

left a family situation for a number of reasons, be it 

mental illness, substance abuse, or an abusive relationship.” 

She added, “i’ve always had a soft spot for 

the underdog.” 

Carter-Bruno still marvels at the energy and compassion 

Smalarz brings to her work as a volunteer. 

“You can find Mary at any moment doing just about 

anything a woman needs. I often walk in to find her 

at a woman’s feet doing foot care,” she said. “i’m 

so impressed and inspired by her dedication. it’s a 

wonderful example for her students.”

in 

words 

my own 

“I learned how to fish, how to make 

friends, how important school is, and 

most importantly, 

I learned English.”


When I first started school, at six years old, on the 

small island in the Aegean called Paros Island, I 

never thought I would be in the United States or 

even in college. See, where I come from, not many 

people get the chance to pursue higher education 

after high school. Many work at their parents’ farms 

or join the army. Many choose to run away from 

home and join a gang, pursuing a life on the streets. 

I am happy to be here, and I consider my life very 

good. I sometimes think back on how I came to be 

and remember all the obstacles I had to overcome to 

reach the United States and reach Regis College. 

The day I was born in Albania was the day that the old 

government was overthrown. There were strikes and 

flags burning on the streets. It was freezing that day. 

Life was unbearable. I remember my mom telling me 

stories of my father and grandfather having to wake 

up at 5 a.m. every morning to wait in line for milk. 

The economy was very bad, and poverty was in every 

corner. About a year after I was born, my family and 

I moved to Greece, to the small island of Paros. I 

spent nine years of my life there, and I learned many 

useful skills. I learned how to fish, how to make 

friends, how important school is, and most importantly, 

I learned English. 

Every summer, people from Ireland, Canada, England, 

and the United States would flood the seaside restaurants. 

One of those restaurants was owned by my 

friend’s aunt, and she let me help out. I took English 

in school so I could understand it pretty well. It was 

amazing living there. There was never snow, and the 

weather was always good. The summer was booming 

with tourism and money was pouring in. The 

winters, though, were the worst. There was always 

a drought in the winter. Jobs were hard to keep and 

even harder to find. This was one of the reasons why 

my parents decided to move to the United States. 

I came here about seven years ago, and I entered the 

eighth grade at the Watertown Middle School. My 

vocabulary was made up of elementary sentences 

with a thick European accent. I barely remember 

school because that year my mom was diagnosed 

with leukemia. I missed a lot of classes, but I still 

managed to pass. When I entered high school my 

mom was getting better, and so I got a little more 

time to focus on my schoolwork. I was doing fairly 

well in most of my classes, but English was the hardest 

for me. I started staying after school a lot with 

my ESL teachers hoping I would get better. With 

every day that passed and with every friend I made 

I learned more about the United States, and my 

English improved a lot. I was a very different 

person back then. 

I think a big turning point in my life was my junior 

year in high school. That’s the year I thought of 

myself as a fluent English speaker, and that’s the 

year I think I matured the most. I started putting 

friends and sports aside and started focusing on my 

schoolwork. My junior and senior years my GPA 

skyrocketed, and amazingly I was one of the top 

students in my English class. Senior year came 

really fast. 

in my own words 

Where I'm From, Where I’m Going 

By SEMI SPAhILLARI ’13 

I started thinking about college and what I was going 

to do with my life. I didn’t have any special skills, I 

was more of a Jack-of-all-trades. I enjoyed learning 

new things, and I liked variety. There was one trade 

that I thought I could do very well in and that I found 

very interesting, and that was business. I could picture 

myself in a business suit making million-dollar 

deals every day. Another thing I liked was theater. 

Before I applied to any colleges, I made up my mind 

that I wanted to pursue business management as a 

major and theater as a minor. 

I fell in love with Regis when I took a tour and met 

with the coach and the theater coordinator. It had 

everything I would want in a college, and I was 

ecstatic to have been accepted here. This year, I 

applied to be a resident assistant and also an orientation 

leader. I think this will help me grow as a leader 

and teach me communication with my peers and a 

good work ethic. I know that with the knowledge I 

am getting here I will achieve great things one day.

A New Era for 

England 

After a 

transformational 

decade at Regis, 

the president 

moves on 

BY RACHEL MORTON 

She’s worked closely with governors and presidents and 

counseled churchmen at various levels as they worked for 

social justice. She and Rosalynn Carter have lobbied Congress 

together on issues of mental illness. Cardinal Bernard Law 

relied upon her advice and judgment as the Boston archdiocese 

entered what has been its most controversial era 

in history. 

But for Mary Jane England, the job with the most dramatic 

and long-lasting results has perhaps been that of president 

of Regis College. She will be leaving that post in June after a 

decade of service that has been nothing short of transformational 

for the college. 

“It’s time,” she says. “I’m ready. Ten years is a good stint.” 

It has certainly been a good stint for Regis. On the verge of 

bankruptcy when England arrived in 2001, the school is now 

stronger in every way, with a larger student body, new graduate 

programs in health sciences, sparkling new athletic fields, 

and, the biggest change of all, a coed campus. 

In fact, Dr. England has filled these 10 years with more 

significant activity than most colleges experience in a century. 

Perhaps it is because she has not been a traditional college 

president. She traveled a very different route, one that made 

her exactly the right leader for Regis in its most critical hour. 

How did a child and adolescent psychiatrist become 

uniquely qualified to, as the Boston Globe put it at the time, 

conduct a “rescue mission” for a struggling Catholic college? 

Well, it has a lot to do with the political acumen and management 

skills she gained through her many years reforming 

health care policy at the state and national levels. 

But it has just as much to do with her deep understanding 

of the mission and gestalt of Regis. She knew the Sisters of 

St. Joseph and their values. They educated her and were the 

guiding force in Brighton, the part of Boston she grew up in

REGIS TODAY 

When she arrived in 

2001, the future of 

Regis looked dim. 

Its enrollment was 

shrinking and so 

was its endowment. 

and still thinks of as home. That’s where it started, 

and it’s the axis around which her life has revolved 

all these years. 

The daughter of a policeman and a nurse, Mary 

Jane England acquired her passion for fairness, for 

family, and for communities in her working class 

Irish Catholic neighborhood, within the embrace of 

St. Columbkille Parish. 

It was the kind of community where the doors 

were always open and people went in and out of each 

other’s homes and lives. The parish church was a 

big presence in the community, both physically and 

spiritually. It instilled the families with a sense of 

neighborhood identity and cohesion. Neighborhood 

was valued, and neighborhood values governed the 

life of the community. 

“We were loyal to each other,” says Dr. England. 

“We felt very safe. If anyone needed help, you never 

said no. There was a sense of equality, everybody 

was the same.” Literally, in those days everybody 

in those neighborhoods was the same. All Catholic. 

“We didn’t know Protestants. We thought everyone 

was Catholic!” 

At the time, social norms dictated that girls would 

marry and have children. Though education for girls 

wasn’t discouraged, its main goal was to help a girl 

find a job to supplement her husband’s income—a job 

in a field where flexible hours would allow motherhood 

and duties in the home to come first. 

But Mary Jane England had different plans for 

herself. Today, the 72-year-old, tall, slim, her blond 

hair pulled back from a youthful, intelligent face, 

has a commanding presence. One can easily see 

how as a young woman, her beauty, brains, and 

poise would attract the interest of her teachers. 

England declared early on that she wanted to be a 

doctor, and her parents supported this idea enthusiastically. 

So did the Sisters at Mount St. Joseph 

Academy, where she went to high school, and at 

Regis, where she got her undergraduate degree 

in 1959. 

“The message I got is that if God gave you talents, 

you had to give something back multifold,” she says. 

So she went to medical school at Boston University, 

specializing in child and adolescent psychiatry. 

She married, and her children were born during 

her medical training, which included stints in San 

Francisco and Hong Kong. When she and her husband 

returned to Boston, England took a job at St. 

Elizabeth’s Hospital in Brighton, about half a mile 

from her home. 

When her father died several years later, she and 

her family moved back to her childhood home to look 

after her mother. Her children grew up there in the 

same neighborhood that had shaped her, connected 

to the parish church and the community. Though 

she currently lives on the Cape when she’s not in 

residence at the college, that house on Goodenough 

Street is still an England home—her daughter Kara 

lives there. 

In those early years of practice in the 1970s, 

England was starting to think about how to improve 

delivery of mental health care, shifting from a medicalized 

hospital setting to a neighborhood-based, more 

family-friendly structure. She opened a neighborhood 

clinic and soon began advocating for this model. 

England became a leader in the movement, which 

eventually led to a total restructuring of state 

mental health services. Under her watch, maltreated 

children and young adults in institutions 

like Bridgewater, Belchertown State School, and 

the Northampton State Hospital were moved into 

community residences. 

She helped steer this revolution in social policy, 

working with Governors Frank Sargent, Michael 

Dukakis, and Ed King, and when the Commonwealth 

of Massachusetts created DSS (the Department of 

Social Services), England helped design the new 

agency and took the helm there for several years. 

From DSS, England became a dean at the JFK 

School at Harvard, where she taught public administration 

and honed her political skills in what could 

arguably be an even more thorny milieu than state 

politics—higher education. After Harvard, responsibilities 

at the Prudential Insurance Company of 

America, as vice president in charge of developing 

mental health policy and coordinating mental health 

quality assurance, schooled her in the insurance 

industry. While she was there, she also developed and 

directed for the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation a 

$25 million grant program for comprehensive home- 

and community-based services in mental health for 

youth with mental disorders in 20 states.

With her broad background and experience, 

not only as a doctor but also as a public policy planner 

with an insider knowledge of the insurance 

industry, England became a sought-after adviser 

on health care on the national level. 

In 1990, England moved to Washington, D.C., 

taking over as president of Washington Business 

Group on Health. During these years, she worked 

with Hillary Clinton and her staff and collaborated 

closely with Tipper Gore and with Rosalynn and 

Jimmy Carter. She and Rosalynn worked together 

on legislation with Senator Kennedy. 

“Rosalynn and I met when I was president of 

the American Psychiatric Association. I was lobbying 

on the Hill a lot, and we became advocates together. 

We both have the same mission,” says England, 

“to provide mental health and substance use care 

for everybody.” 

Their friendship has endured the passing years 

and the changing tides in health reform. When 

England became president of Regis she invited 

Carter to campus to receive an honorary degree 

at the presidential inauguration convocation. 

} People 

call this decade a transformational 

period for Regis. And 

it has been so because of England. When she arrived 

in 2001, the future of Regis looked dim. Its enrollment 

was shrinking and so was its endowment. Many 

small colleges were closing their doors, and it looked 

as if Regis might follow suit. 

“Small liberal arts colleges are destined to go out 

of business if they don’t adapt,” says England. “We’ve 

adapted by building on our strengths and growing 

our nursing program, especially at the graduate 

level. If we didn’t have it, the liberal arts program 

would be out of business.” 

Before establishing a doctoral program in nursing 

practice in 2007, the college established the excellence 

of its undergraduate major in nursing and 

broadened the base of its course offerings with 

a health-care orientation. The multiple-entry graduate 

nursing program offers various master’s programs 

and has a healthy enrollment. It is turning 

out masters- and doctorally trained nurses who are 

taking on needed leadership roles in public health, 

nursing education, and administration, and it has 

been named a Center for Excellence in Nursing 

Education—the first such school in New England 

to receive this honor. “I’m very proud of the focus 

on health in our graduate programs,” says England. 

“It meets the needs of the community.” 

This shift into building up the health science 

offerings was a deliberate and farsighted choice 

for England. She believes that Boston is a locus for 

health-care related industries, and thus health-care 

related jobs. She wants Regis students to have those 

employment options. 

“So much of contemporary science is directly related 

to the health-care field,” says England. “The sciences 

used to be isolated, but medical schools have integrated 

them, nursing schools are integrating them.” 

This shift in academic offerings and focus, along 

with immediate and strict cost cutting, helped Regis 

turn the corner economically. But it wasn’t enough. 

“We weren’t growing fast enough,” she says. 

“When we looked at the data, we saw that women 

were coming to Regis not because it was an allwomen’s 

college, but because we had nursing or 

some other specific program. A lot of women’s colleges 

were going coed at the time.” 

So she put the issue of coeducation on the table, 

again (it had been discussed, seriously, several times 

in Regis’s history). And, typically, pursued a careful 

feasibility study so that any change at the college 

could follow the evidence. 

In the past, Regis had been one of only a few good 

Catholic colleges for women in the Boston area, but 

since the 1970s it had been competing with formerly 

all-male Catholic schools like Boston College and Holy 

Cross, which had gone coed and attracted women, 

who increasingly desired a coed college experience. 

So despite her personal wish that Regis continue 

as an all-women’s school, England saw with the 

impartial eye of a scientist that accepting men would 

stem the erosion of undergraduate enrollment. 

She knew this would be a difficult change for 

alumnae, and she dealt with it as she did all the 

important changes she implemented—slowly and 

with lots of conversation and input from all quarters. 

The faculty supported it, but it was a harder sell to 

some alumnae. 

“The older alums took it much better,” she says. 

“Their own children didn’t want to go to women’s 

colleges. The recent alums found it harder. But we 

spent a lot of time with them. It was all transparent. 

We worked it through for a year and a half.” 

Now, going on four years since Regis went coed, 

the student body is 25 percent male. And as predicted, 

as the male student numbers have increased, 

so have female applicants. 

The student body is also very diverse—both in 

ethnicity and religious affiliation. Now 50 percent of 

Regis students are minorities, and only 50 percent 

are Catholic. 

This shift in student population wasn’t planned, 

says England. Rather, there was a shift in Greater 

Boston’s population. Regis still educates the children 

of working- and middle-class families from

REGIS TODAY 

Brighton, Roxbury, Cambridge, Somerville, Everett, 

and Dorchester—to name a few towns that sent their 

children to Regis when England attended back in the 

fifties. But now these families, instead of being just 

Irish and Italian, are Hispanic, Vietnamese, Haitian, 

and Cape Verdean, too. 

These families want the same things for their 

children as the Irish and Italian families did a 

half century ago. They want to know that after 

college, their children will be able to get a job and 

support themselves. 

In fundamental ways Regis today is much like 

the Regis of decades ago. The mandate of the Sisters 

of St. Joseph to reach out into the community to 

help the “dear neighbor without distinction” of race, 

religion, or class is still motivating the college’s 

mission to help the immigrant, first-generation, 

and working- and middle-class families get ahead. 

And that ethos is alive in the student body, who, 

though they may not be Catholic, are often very 

involved with their communities and their churches 

and want to be involved in community service 

work while at college. 

“We still reach out with social action,” says 

England. Our students are interested in social justice. 

This is the tradition of the Sisters that was 

very strong when I was a student here, and it’s 

still strong today. It’s a lot of what we do at Regis. 

Serve the underserved.” 

} England 

has always put families 

and children at the 

center of her life—both personally and professionally. 

She has much to be proud of with her own family. 

Her son, after years of international teaching, is 

training to be a doctor. A daughter, with many years 

in the Peace Corps and a master’s in public health, 

recently received her master’s degree in nursing from 

Regis (from the hand of her mother!). And her other 

daughter, after getting a law degree from BC, is now 

a Massachusetts state trooper working with a district 

attorney against domestic violence. 

And her children, in turn, are pretty proud of their 

mom. “My son, who just finished his first year at med 

school, said that my legacy at Regis would be going 

coed and the athletic fields,” laughs England. “The 

athletic fields! I’m not a big sports person. And if 

you’d asked me nine years ago what are you going to 

do at Regis, it would never have been going coed.” 

One thing everyone is proud of is that this year is 

the first year in the past 20 that Regis is operating in 

the black. Enrollments are rising—this year’s undergraduate 

enrollment is at about 800, slowly and 

steadily moving up toward the eventual goal of 1,200. 

She was exactly 

the right leader 

for Regis in its 

most critical hour. 

So in addition to the athletic fields and the shift 

to coeducation, England is leaving a school on solid 

financial footing with a new curriculum aimed at 

preparing students to enter a very different economic 

environment than Regis students entered in an 

earlier era. 

“I’m very proud of the ability of our students to 

be successful, to go on to graduate school and to 

get jobs,” she says. 

Early in her tenure she helped ensure the success 

of even struggling students, those inadequately prepared 

for the rigor of college courses, by obtaining 

a substantial federal grant to create a Student 

Success Center. 

But in addition to academic success and jobs, 

England also wants something more for the students. 

She also wants them to receive an education 

guided by the beliefs and philosophy of the Sisters 

of St. Joseph. 

“I want them to have a meaningful career so they 

can have joy from their work, as well as joy in their 

family life,” she says. “I want Regis College to have 

the stellar future it deserves in the 21st century.”

� KATHLEEN MURPHY LOCKWOOD ’70

For over a decade, my existence 

rested on the ability oF my 

husband to successFully throw 

a tiny leather ball. 

I can credit Regis for a lot of things, 

including lasting friendships and the 

tutelage of my advisor, Sr. Thérèse 

Higgins. I also met my future husband 

at a Regis mixer during Sisters’ 

Weekend my freshman year. 

Days after marching out to “Pomp and 

Circumstance” in June of 1970, I floated 

down the aisle to Pachelbel’s Canon, married 

Skip Lockwood, and from then on embraced the 

national anthem as the theme song of my life. 

I had no control over the action on the field, yet the 

outcome of the pitcher-versus-batter battle drastically 

determined the tranquillity of my days. We moved 

over 35 times in the course of my husband’s association 

with nine professional teams. I shared this gloriously 

nerve-racking life with a constantly changing 

cadre of women whose lives were also affected by the 

maneuvers of Major League management. I began as 

an impulsive ingénue bride and emerged as a seasoned 

wife, fostered by the friendship of some truly 

special spouses. 

At 22, I thought we had it all. I felt we 

had lost everything at 26, regained that 

glorious gift at 27, and we saw it all slowly 

wither away by the time I turned thirtysomething. 

Through all the ups and downs 

I definitely laughed more than I cried and 

belted out the national anthem more often 

than I sang the blues. 

Skip’s life centered around the ballpark. Constantly 

on stage, he played many different roles in the nightly 

performance between the lines. His fellow character 

actors included good high-inside hitters, free-swinging 

left-handers, batters who loved low fastballs, great 

bunters, and fearsome long-ball belters who faced raw 

fire, nasty curveballs, finicky forkballs, and challenging 

changeups. The settings added intrigue to the 

action. There were the friendly confines of Fenway 

Park with its scary green monster wall. Shea Stadium 

on Sunday afternoons when the blare of the jets from 

La Guardia drowned out the chatter on the infield; 

early- and late-season wind chill warnings in County 

Stadium, Santa Ana; lung-searing smog at the Big 

17 

FALL 10

Mrs. 

A in Anaheim; and high-altitude wind tunnels in 

Denver’s Mile High Stadium. 

We hold disparate memories of this time period. 

Skip remembers who hit what pitch on what count, 

the childish pranks in the clubhouse, the endless 

hours spent icing his shoulder or groin, the anguish 

of giving up a bases-loaded dinger, the ecstasy of 

striking out the side, the catharsis of the competition. 

I remember the special friendships, the overwhelming 

camaraderie and compassion among the wives 

(tempered by occasional jealousy and back stabbing), 

the loneliness of long road trips, the anxiety that 

accompanied the insecurity, the constant packing and 

unpacking, the joy of joining in passionate standing 

ovations, the delight in purchasing a permanent home 

in the city we were playing in (three times), and the 

anguish of learning (over the radio) that we had been 

traded and would have to uproot again. 

There is a fine line a baseball 

wife must walk between CHiEF 

CHEERLEADER and personal 

anger management THERAPisT. 

Forty years ago I vowed to unconditionally love 

my husband for better and for worse, in good times 

and bad. Looking back, we have had over 38 wonderful 

years of wedded bliss and more than our share 

of weeks and months of depressing dark days. How 

did our marriage manage to survive the turmoil, the 

trades and the temptations? A deep love for each 

other, a strong belief in a higher power, and a huge 

dose of humor helped us through. 

My introduction into the world of baseball coincided 

with my initiation into adulthood during the tumultuous 

decade of the 1970s. The country’s disillusionment 

with the Vietnam War was growing as protest 

rallies spread across the nation. Civil rights laws 

might have been registered in the books, but they still 

had a long way to go before becoming a reality. The 

Camelot dreams of the White House had turned into 

a Watergate nightmare. The women’s movement had 

opened up new and exciting options for young women, 

but many soon discovered that “free love” was not 

totally free of deception and heartache. Personal fulfillment 

often came at the expense of a devoted spouse 

and family. Some skeptics in the media posed the 

question “Is God dead?” while subversive cults preyed 

on lost souls who had forgotten how to pray. To deal 

with the daily uncertainty and turmoil in professional 

baseball, I found comfort in my faith, reflecting and 

refocusing on the true meaning of life in the company 

of a community of believers on Sunday mornings. 

From my first freshman convocation at Regis to 

our final graduation ceremony, every major assembly 

began with the community intoning a musical adaptation 

of John Donne’s Meditation 17. Wearing Fair 

Isle sweaters and A-line wool skirts, my classmates 

and I would form a circle, cross our arms, hold hands, 

and chant: 

No man is an island, no man stands alone 

Each man’s joy is joy to me, each man’s 

grief is my own 

We need one another, and so I will defend 

Each man as my brother 

Each man as my friend. 

Two weeks after singing this mantra at my college 

commencement, I sat in an empty apartment in 

Brown Deer, Wisconsin, wishing I had just one friend 

with whom I could share the joy of my recent wedding 

and my all-too-short road trip honeymoon. 

My new husband would be away for another 

week as he continued on a long road trip with the 

Milwaukee Brewers. So there I sat, sprawled out on 

the multicolored shag carpet, surrounded by mounds 

of bubble wrap, serenaded by the soulful strains of the 

Righteous Brothers’ Unchained Melody over the radio 

(we did not yet own a television). A short while later 

my doorbell rang. The wife of one of Skip’s teammates 

was at the door. Her familiar Boston accent, along 

with a request to share dinner with her and her twoyear-old 

son, rejuvenated my spirit. Suddenly I was 

no longer adrift alone on an island; I was being welcomed 

into the baseball community by another young 

wife who understood my need for companionship. 

Baseball is a seasonal game played by young boys 

in dirt fields throughout America. For a special, few 

the baseball seasons continue to go round and round 

into adulthood. However, the heart of the game is 

rooted in childhood, and the professional athletes

who are most 

successful continue 

to enjoy 

playing games 

and, like Peter 

Pan, refuse to 

grow up. 

These boys 

marry young 

girls who are 

forced to grow 

up quickly and 

assume the role of 

the responsible adult. 

It is the baseball wife who 

must organize the day around 

her ballplayer’s schedule. Preparing nutritious meals 

and making sure her athlete has time for an afternoon 

nap is a must. If there are young children in the 

household they must be kept busy so as not to disturb 

dad’s pregame routine. Depending on the circumstances 

of the previous night’s game, the morning 

paper can either be placed quietly on the breakfast 

table or conveniently lost. There is a fine line a baseball 

wife must walk between chief cheerleader and 

personal anger management therapist. 

In the inevitable event that her husband is traded, 

he is expected to report to the new team immediately, 

often on the next plane. The new ballplayer is usually 

excited about the opportunity to play in a different 

city and receives a thunderous welcome from his new 

fans when he arrives at the ballpark for the first time. 

The baseball wife is left behind to clean the apartment, 

pack up the car and the children, leave her 

friends and support system behind, and move to the 

next town on her own. When she eventually arrives in 

town she faces the insecurity of trying to fit in with a 

new group of wives who might resent the fact that her 

husband just took over the coveted position of one of 

their inner circle. Next she must secure an apartment 

that will rent on a short-term basis, locate the grocery 

store, and restock the pantry and refrigerator, all 

before the team returns from their road trip. 

At one time I thought that it was only the wives 

of professional athletes who were thrust into this 

protective custody role. I now recognize this same 

quality in strong and supportive women from all 

walks of life. The gift of an oasis of serenity has been 

bestowed on countless families across our country 

by ordinary women just “doing what needs to be 

done at the time.” The military bride whose husband 

can be deployed at any time, the politician’s 

spouse who needs to maintain a serene presence in 

her home state as well as entertain constituents in 

Washington, the corporate weekday widow whose 

husband is constantly traveling, the family of the 

firefighter who can be sent anywhere at any time, 

and the wife of the doctor who is constantly managing 

life and death situations: all recognize the need to 

provide a sanctuary for their hero to regroup in the 

comfort of home. 

As I move into the autumn of my life I am thankful 

that my future is no longer manipulated by managerial 

decisions beyond my control, but that the unconditional 

love and the childlike wonder of our days 

in baseball remain alive. For preparing me for this 

magic carpet ride I would like to thank my college 

adviser, Sr. Thérèse Higgins, who long ago encouraged 

me to find my own voice in this noisy world.

“A male professor 

said, ‘Nobody’s 

going to hire you 

because you’re a woman 

and you won’t be able to 

do the heavy barrel work.’” 

ut in late August, her focus 

telescopes to the grapes. Part 

of each day is spent in the 350 

acres under Domaine Carneros’s 

direct control, eyeing the vines, 

measuring sugar levels in the 

fruit, and sipping juice. The most 

reliable indicator is her palate. 

“I can tell when the pH meter is 

not working properly,” she says. 

“Chemistry is the backup.” 

The decision to initiate the 

harvest is hers alone, and it puts approximately 

60 pickers, cellar workers, chemists, and other 

employees—not to mention untold millions in 

machinery—into motion. Everything in the 

winemaking business follows from this one 

judgment call. Her window for getting it right 

is about a day. 

If this responsibility stresses Crane out, she 

doesn’t show it. An air of confidence surrounds 

her, grounded in her experience. “Winemaking 

is not for people with short memories,” she says. 

“When I started I used to worry a lot more than 

I do now. When harvest comes I feel a sense of 

excitement and anticipation. Every year you 

want to have learned something from previous 

years so that you can do a better job than the 

year before.” 

The roots of Crane’s sense of ease run deep. 

This will be her 33rd harvest since arriving 

in California. She’s unlikely 

to come across a variable 

she hasn’t seen before. And 

bold decisions come easily 

to her anyway. 

SAFE RISkS 

Crane is a daughter of Wall 

Street: her father launched 

the options trading desk and 

ran international business 

for Dean Witter following 

World War II. From him she 

learned how to break big decisions into smaller 

chunks that can be examined from all angles. “I 

learned very early on how to look at both sides, 

how to evaluate whether this is a good thing or 

a bad thing,” Crane says. “I don’t think I take 

unwarranted risks.” 

Crane’s father brought wine from his business 

trips all over the world back to the 

northern New Jersey home in which she was 

raised. As a child she learned that a dusty bottle 

can be a whole lot more—a story, a memory, the 

key to a magical meal. From the age of eight, 

Crane was allowed a cordial glass of whatever 

was being served at Sunday dinner, and she 

remained interested in wine throughout high 

school and college. 

But when Crane graduated from Regis in 

1971 with a degree in sociology and a minor 

in economics, winemaking was not an obvious 

choice for women, or anyone else for that 

matter. She had never met a winemaker, didn’t 

know any winemaking families. “In the sixties 

and early seventies it was just not done,” she 

says. “I never thought of it as a career opportunity 

for me. Even if I were a man I don’t think 

I would have.” 

Instead, Crane’s first professional path was 

nutrition. After graduation she spent two years 

in Venezuela doing social work with malnourished 

schoolchildren, then earned a master’s 

degree from the University of Connecticut 

in 1975. 

Wine remained close to her heart, however, 

and as wine drinking gained currency in the 

seventies her reputation as an expert among 

her peers began to take on a life of its own. 

At UConn, Crane helped organize social events 

for the graduate council. Which is to say, she 

chose the wine. Treks to the local liquor store 

turned into a microindustry, with dozens of 

classmates in tow. 

“It got to be kind of an event,” Crane says. 

“There would be a line out the door with people 

wanting me to pick their wines out. I became 

the wine guru for graduate school.” 

After two years as a working nutritionist 

in Connecticut, Crane enrolled in a 10-week 

program at the Culinary Institute of America 

in Hyde Park, New York. Her intention was to 

become a chef, but at the Institute she met her 

first real-life winemaker, whose father had a 

small winery in Hudson Valley. “He mentioned 

to the group there’s some place in California 

called ‘Davis’ where you can actually take 

classes in winemaking,” Crane says. 

If the scene were a cartoon, a lightbulb would 

have appeared above her head at this exact

moment. Crane finished the 10-week program 

at the Institute, packed her Impala, and drove 

across the country in a beeline. 

EDuCATION OF A wINEMAkER 

At Davis, Crane was briefly discouraged. The 

traditional path into winemaking involved four 

years of undergraduate work in fermentation 

sciences, two years of graduate school—and 

was not welcoming toward women. 

“A male professor said, ‘Nobody’s going to hire 

you because you’re a woman and you won’t be 

able to do the heavy barrel work,’” Crane recalls. 

A second opinion from a woman professor on 

the Davis faculty was more constructive. Her 

advice was for Crane to audit some classes, 

persuade someone to give her an entry-level 

job, then prove herself from there. “And that’s 

what I did,” Crane says. She was at Davis for 

all of four months, then landed work as a parttime 

tour guide at the sparkling-wine producer 

Chandon, in Napa Valley. When the winemaker 

there left on short notice, Crane was pressed 

into service in the lab—the proverbial break 

forecast by the woman professor. 

Crane’s time in the lab provided the immersive 

education in winemaking that she’d hoped 

for when she hopped in her Impala and headed 

west. It also introduced her to a small circle of 

California winemakers specializing in sparkling 

wine, or champagne. Of thousands of California 

winemakers to this day, Crane estimates only 

10 are in the fizzy business in earnest. 

Once in the club, Crane’s ascent was steep. 

From Chandon she was hired away by a Napa 

sparkling-wine producer, Gloria Ferrer, to 

build their fledgling facility from the ground 

up. When the French champagne-producing 

family Taittinger decided to establish a base of 

operations in the region, Crane’s name topped 

their list. 

That was in 1987, nine years after her 

first industry job as a tour guide. Crane and 

Taittinger, which still owns 50 percent of 

Domaine Chandon, remain happily entangled 

23 years later. “It’s been a very good match,” 

she says. “They’re interested in nothing but 

the very best quality; that’s what I’m interested 

in too. There’s no point in spending your life 

doing something that’s not as good as it possibly 

can be.” 

Sparkling tipS 

• most wine lovers know to fill a 

glass to its widest point for swirling 

and the release of aromas. 

But what about straight and narrow 

flutes? to enjoy a sparkling 

wine’s enticing aromas, only fill 

your flutes one-third full. 

• For top quality, the tinier the 

bubble the better. Bubbles help 

release the wine’s flavor and 

aroma—so more is better, and 

tiny bubbles translate to a creamier 

texture on the palate. 

• you say champagne, i say sparkling 

wine. Why? Because using 

the name of the place where the 

grapes are grown is the birthright 

of that region, in this case the 

Champagne region of France. 

• For optimal taste and cork 

removal, sparkling wine should 

be served at 40-45 degrees F. 

you can chill it in the fridge for 

two hours or pop it in the freezer 

for 20 minutes. But the classic, 

stylish, 10-minute method is in 

a wine bucket filled with ice 

and salt. 

• Brut to demi-sec, dry to 

sweet, sparkling wine 

styles depend on the 

amount of sugar that’s 

added to balance the 

wine. Brut has almost no 

sweetness and is very 

food friendly. Demi- 

sec pairs nicely with 

dessert and fruit.

Max Gerber 

As for that Davis professor who had tried to 

talk Crane out of becoming a winemaker in the 

first place? Years later Crane appeared on a 

panel with him at a conference. Crane told the 

story of her rude introduction to the industry 

without naming names, then enjoyed the look of 

recognition that crossed his face. “I don’t think 

he remembered my name but he recognized the 

story. It was like, ooooh.” 

ThE wINE 

In a region awash in over-the-top architecture, 

Domaine Carneros’s Napa compound still

and main building. 

Climbing the 

broad stairs toward 

the pink and yellow 

manor is like 

approaching Oz. 

When Crane 

joined the company 

in 1987, the drawings 

were done but 

ground had yet to 

be broken on the building, which is modeled 

after an 18th-century chateau also owned by 

the Taittinger family, in Champagne. Crane 

oversaw design of the Napa facility’s interior 

spaces, which include the cellars and 

bottling plant, multiple tasting rooms, 

a gift shop, and offices. 

The interior is classic and elegant: 

lightwood furniture, limestone and 

marble floors, and floral tapestry 

dominate. Overseeing the entrance is 

a portrait of Madame de Pompadour, 

paramour of King Louis XV, who 

introduced sparkling wine (which 

was invented in England) and other 

fineries to the court at Versailles. The 

royals’ tastes ran toward “foofy stuff, 

but she was more restrained,” Crane 

says with a wink. 

photographs of "glamour girls" like elizabeth taylor 

adorn the visitor's Salon, along with quotations 

from several. Crane's favorite is from madame de 

pompadour, who said, "Champagne is the only wine 

a woman can drink and remain beautiful." 

Domaine Carneros is the second winery 

Crane has built from the ground up. Asked 

to point out something in it she’s especially 

proud of, she answers without hesitation: “The 

wines themselves.” 

Domaine Carneros makes sparkling wines in 

three primary styles: brut, brut rose, and blanc 

de blancs. They taste good, distinct from each 

other—and a far cry from the too-sweet wine 

served in plastic goblets that most of us know 

as champagne. 

Crane’s office enjoys a view of vineyards out 

one window and a patio out the other, where 

Domaine Chandon’s sparkling wines are served 

in single glasses or flights. She enjoys the surprised 

expressions on the faces of skeptics tasting 

high-quality sparkling wine for the first time. 

“You see the light go on,” she says. “Most 

people have never had the good stuff.” 

When she talks about sparkling wine, Crane’s 

calm voice gains speed. To this day, she loves it. 

“Sparkling wine seems to have a life of its own,” 

she says. “It’s the only one you can actually hear. 

It has such vibrancy.” Each weekend starts with 

a bottle shared with her husband, wherever they 

may be. “It’s a standard,” she says. “It separates 

the week from the weekend.” 

There are unglamorous parts of the profession, 

for sure. Crane’s office probably looks like yours: 

there is computer terminal on one desk and tidy 

piles of paper on another. The key difference is 

that grapes determine the rhythm of Crane’s 

days, not technology. 

“It’s glamorous from the outside looking in, but 

on a day-to-day basis it’s farming,” Crane says. 

“Luckily my job is not boring. I have a lot of fun 

at my job. And I’m very tied to the seasons.” 

“In reality, when it comes to winemaking, 

I’m not in charge,” says Crane. “Mother Nature 

is in charge.”

PHILANTHROPY 

Dear Alumni & Friends, 

I am pleased to share the Roll of Honor of our generous supporters 

in the 2009–2010 fund year. 

This simple list is a way to publicly recognize the many generous 

alumni, friends, trustees, students, parents, faculty, and staff who 

have contributed to Regis over the past year. We can’t thank you 

enough. The list also represents generations of Regis stories—some 

stories that have continued for years and some stories that are just 

beginning. All are about relationship. What is your Regis story? 

Does it acknowledge the Sister of St. Joseph who mentored you and 

stayed connected throughout the years? The professor who challenged 

you and pointed you down the right career path? Was it a 

Regis alum who gave you your first job? Perhaps a coach or a friend 

made the difference for you. Whatever your story, it has been a part 

of the important decision to contribute. 

My own story began sixteen years ago when Regis believed in me 

and awarded me a full-tuition scholarship. Little did I know that 

all these years later I would come home again to Regis to be a part 

of giving back to a place that gave so much to me. 

Regis continues to be a campus where students are given the 

opportunity of a world-class education in a caring and nurturing 

community of learners. Your support makes this happen and 

enables current Regis women and Regis men to create their own 

Regis stories. And so the cycle continues. 

As we embark on an exciting year, we look forward to celebrating 

and honoring Dr. England in the last year of her Presidency 

at Regis. We will be reconnecting with alumni and friends from 

throughout the years to share with them the future direction 

of Regis. 

Please feel free to be in touch with your thoughts and ideas at 

Miriam.sherman@regiscollege.edu or 781-768-7222. 

My deepest gratitude and thanks, 

Miriam Finn Sherman ’98

m. Kristen O’connor Foxx

left: madeline lynch ’55 created an annuity 

in honor of her cousins sister viterbo and 

sister margaret William. 

Right: madeline’s extended family during 

a vacation by the ocean. 

Q: tell me about your cousins and how 

your connection to them motivated your gift 

to Regis. 

Ml: Our family was very proud to have two 

nuns. They were both like sisters to me, especially 

sister margaret William, who was very 

close in age to me, and lived only three doors 

down. We vacationed in Green Harbor, mA with 

them our whole lives. It was always a treat to 

spend a week’s vacation there. 

We grew up visiting sister Viterbo on Regis’s 

campus; I can still remember her as may Queen 

in a long lace gown. Betty and I were her flower 

girls. They both loved Regis, they really did. 

Regis became a part of our family too—my 

cousins went there, as did my sister Betty and I. 

I don’t think I applied to any other school. 

Regis was it for me. 

Q: Why was an annuity a good choice for you? 

Hl: It’s a great way to make sure you still have 

income coming in in case you have any unforeseen 

medical bills. so we continue to get a 

percentage of it each year, and when we die the 

remainder reverts to the college. It’s a win-win; 

it’s a healthy income and the principal reverts to 

the college in the end. 

In honor of her reunion and her family, 

an alumna gives back to Regis 

madeline lynch ’55 was not unlike many other alumni celebrating their reunions 

in may 2010 when she made a gift to Regis. What was different, however, is that 

the gift was not only to commemorate 55 years of being a Regis alumna, but also 

in memory of her two cousins who were former Regis faculty members: sister 

Viterbo, a psychology professor, and sister margaret William, a music professor. 

she also chose to do an annuity, which provides a steady stream of income to the 

donor, but the balance is donated to Regis after the donor passes away. 

madeline’s memorial harkens back to a day when multiple members of one 

family came to Regis over the course of many decades—and were proud as 

anything to do so. Her gift not only shows her love for Regis, but how the college 

became a big part of her family history. 

Creating a Legacy 

Here’s a Q&A with madeline and husband Hugh on their reasons for giving, the 

timing of the gift, and why they love Regis so much. 

Q: Why did you choose to give at your 

55th reunion? 

Ml: We both decided—Hugh and I—to give to 

our alma maters: Hugh went to Holy cross, and, 

of course, I attended Regis. This year is his 50th 

—he had left school to go to the navy and later 

returned—and my 55th. It was important to us 

that we gave an equal amount to both. 

A reunion gets you reminiscing too. I was 

in the “Big 6,” one room that housed six girls. 

I still see most of my roommates regularly. An 

experience like that bonds you for life. When we 

graduated my sister moved into the same room! 

Hl: The essence of it is that it’s time to give 

before we’re too old to. It’s time to take such a 

measure while we can. We have three children 

in their 30’s and 40’s and they’re doing well. 

Ml: It’s a good time to give back to the school 

in honor of two wonderful family members. 

Q: Why was it so important to give an equal 

amount to both schools? 

Ml: It’s like our marriage, everything’s equal.

Wellesley Street, Weston, MA 02493 

¶ It was with open arms that Regis 

welcomed Roberta MacDonald back 

to celebrate her 75th Reunion. With 

much pride, Roberta, accompanied 

by her niece, Regina Butler-Lally ’79, 

walked in the “Parade of Classes” 

proudly carrying her class banner to 

the applause of all in attendance at 

the Alumni Luncheon in Alumnae 

Hall. President Mary Jane England 

recognized Roberta and congratulated 

her on this milestone occasion. ¶ You 

make Regis proud, Roberta! 

1937 

✒ Katherine Connolly, Providence 

House, 180 Corey Road, Brighton, 

MA 02135 ¶ I’ve talked to S. Alice 

McConville, and she is doing well. 

She expects to return to her former 

convent at Ron Kon Koma in Apr. 

2011, which is when it is expected to 

be completed. I want to make a correction 

to the spring write-up in Regis 

Today in our class news regarding S. 

Alice. It incorrectly read that S. Alice 

lives with her sister, where it should 

have read that S. Alice visits her 

sister. Sincerest apologies on the miscommunication. 

¶ Everything’s going 

well for me, and it has been a wonderful 

summer. I hope you all have a safe 

and healthy winter!

✒ Mary Kerr Lynch, 275 Mirick Road, 

Princeton, MA 01541-1127, 978-464-5611 

¶ Greetings to my classmates of 1940. 

I attended the Reunion Weekend 2010 

Golden Tower Luncheon on May 21, 

and the all-alumni luncheon and 

awards ceremony program on May 22. 

It was a most memorable and happy 

weekend. Ms. Barbara Clancy and 

Christina Aprea are to be congratulated 

for planning with perfection. 

All the details created an atmosphere 

of loyalty and pleasure for all in 

attendance at this gala affair. We 

thank you. Now for a little news about 

our classmates. ¶ When I called Mary 

McDevitt Hadley recently she was 

sitting and enjoying the cool breeze on 

the pavilion in Osterville, MA. She 

and her husband, Elinus, have been 

residents of Osterville for many years. 

Mary plays bridge and also enjoys 

bowling on a weekly basis. Elinus 

and Mary continue their interest in 

town affairs. The Hadleys have 1 

daughter and 4 sons, all residents of 

Massachusetts, 11 grandchildren, and 

16 great-grandchildren. They enjoy 

their 16th great-grandchild, whose 

name is O’Eoghen, Gaelic for Owen. 

¶ Martha Mitten Hosinski mentioned 

in our recent telephone conversation 

that she continues living in South 

Bend, IN, enjoys playing bridge, 

and is interested in cultural and 

community affairs. She keeps a 

busy schedule with her 5 children, 

grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. 

Her daughter Anne Hosinski 

Madden ’67, a Regis graduate, is most 

active in business, civic, and community 

affairs in Portland, OR. Her

sister Claire also resides in Portland 

and is active in medical affairs. 

Martha has 3 sons. One is in business, 

and 2 are attorneys, following the 

profession of their late father, 

William, who was a noted attorney 

and renowned judge in South Bend, 

IN. Recently a “Gala Birthday Party” 

celebrating Martha’s 90th birthday 

was held, with over 45 guests 

enjoying the occasion. Happy birthday 

to Martha, who was described in our 

Regis College Yearbook as “a flash of 

red hair and a peal of laughter.” ¶ 

Gladys Kiely McMakin enjoys living in 

her family home in Arlington, MA, 

with a most beautiful manicured 

garden. Her son, Matthew, resides 

with her in the home, giving Gladys 

great care and comfort and taking 

over household responsibilities. 

Gladys’s 5 children, grandchildren, 

and great-grandchildren are most 

attentive, visiting and frequently 

calling. Gladys’s pet companions for 

many years are Dudley and Ilse; 

sadly, Ilse has been hospitalized with 

a fatal condition. We were delighted 

that Gladys attended the Regis 

College Alumni Weekened on May 22, 

2010, with her daughter Marcie. 

Gladys and I represented our 70th 

Reunion Class. ¶ I called Yvonne 

Normandeau Oswald and her husband, 

Norbert, answered the phone. I knew 

that Norbert was a West Point 

graduate, and I commented that I was 

a military wife for 15 years, until my 

Robert retired from military service. 

We enjoyed chatting about military 

life long, long ago. Yvonne and 

Norbert reside in a retirement 

military residence in Melbourne, FL. 

When I chatted with Yvonne she had 

just returned from a two-week 

hospitalization. Being quite weak and 

not feeling well, she was hoping to 

regain her strength while getting 

better with care and relaxation at 

home. I will say a little prayer that 

you have a quick recovery. ¶ Helen 

Hogan Sullivan and her husband, 

John, a physician, resided in Carney, 

NJ, with their family for many years. 

Upon retiring, John and Helen 

returned to their summer home in 

Eastport, ME. Their 4 sons and 

daughter had established homes with 

their families before their parents’ 

retirement to Eastport. I called Helen 

in March in reference to our 70th 

Reunion. Due to distance and medical 

problems, she was unable to attend. 

On April 7, I received a call from her 

daughter-in-law, Mrs. Dan Sullivan, 

that Helen had passed away peacefully 

surrounded by her loving family. 

Helen is rejoicing with her husband in 

their heavenly home in the presence 

of the Lord. ¶ There was a beautiful 

tribute to the late S. Therese Higgins 

’47 by special assistant to the 

president M.J. Doherty ’67, Ph.D, 

entitled “All, and in All” printed in 

Regis Today (spring and summer 

2010). ¶ In March I had sent a 

personal letter to Janet Ahern Rink in 

reference to our Reunion May 21–22 

at Regis. Janet said she was disappointed 

that she was unable to be 

present at this happy event. In April, 

I called Janet at her 

residence, “The Malter 

Place,” in Wilmette, IL, 

concerning our Reunion 

details. We discussed her 

daughters, Holly, who 

resides in Elkhart, IN, and 

Linda, in Oregon. They are 

most attentive to their 

mother, calling and 

visiting, including their 

children and grandchildren. 

Janet requested that 

I call again soon, and I am 

planning to in the near 

future. ¶ Margaret Madden 

Foley, aka Midge, continues to live 

by the seashore in Rye, NH, happy 

indeed that her daughter Patricia 

lives with her, caring for her needs as 

well as providing wonderful companionship. 

Due to an eye problem, Midge 

no longer paints or writes poetry, 

many poems being published. Midge 

has 5 children, 14 grandchildren, and 

6 great-grandchildren, many of them 

living in different parts of the U.S. 

The Foley clan frequently visits and 

calls Midge, a happy loving family. 

Midge commented she does not sing 

very often. At Regis a most talented 

and beautiful singer … “Indian Love 

Calls” always requested. ¶ Alice V. 

Herlihy continues to enjoy living in 

the family homestead in Florence, 

MA. She retired from the family’s 

successful retail business in Florence 

many years ago. Presently, due to 

breathing difficulties, she is now on 

oxygen, which restricts her interests 

and activities. As an “EC” receiving 

major at Regis, she was a volunteer 

for the Pioneer Group creating 

“Buy-A-Bear” doll-like creations for 

thousands of needy children and 

senior citizens. Although curtailed 

by her medical condition, she has 

continued assisting the Pioneer 

Group in certain easy phases. I chat 

frequently with Alice, always in a 

happy and friendly mood, particularly 

in Regis affairs. ¶ Geraldine Burke 

Morrill continues to reside in 

Plantation Village in Wilmington, 

NC, a beautiful retirement community, 

enjoying many cultural and civic 

activities. Gerrie is again the winner 

of the annual Spelling Bee at the 

Plantation. One more contest at 

another community and Gerrie will be 

number-one speller. Gerrie is involved 

with her 6 children, as several family 

members live in the Wilmington area, 

and calls and visits the Morrill family 

throughout the U.S. Gerrie has 

continued her friendship with 

Barbara Schiltzer since college days. 

A yearly reunion of the Morrill family 

is a very happy and gala event. ¶ Mary 

Sampson Schmidt has resided in San 

Jose, enjoying the sunny California 

weather, for many years. A recent 

family reunion was celebrated in a 

classnotes 

It was with open arms 

that Regis welcomed back 

Roberta MacDonald ’35 

to celebrate her 

75th Reunion 

beautiful seaside hotel in California. 

The gala affair honored their loving 

mother for her continued love and 

devotion to her family. Mary has 

continued her friendship since college 

days with Marion Quinn Clancy, Ruth 

Ferraro Tobin, and the late Ruth 

Monahan Savage. They all were 

bridesmaids at Mary’s wedding at 

St. Aidan’s Church in Brookline, MA, 

during the early war years. Mary’s 

interest in Regis affairs has continued 

since 1940. ¶ Many months ago, 

Marion Quinn Clancy was seriously 

injured in a fall. After a long hospitalization 

and rehab, she has recently 

returned to her Hull, MA, home with 

continued care and physical therapy. 

Marion is happy to be in her seaside 

home, enjoying frequent strolls along 

the Hull ocean walkway with her 

walker—use of a cane is anticipated. 

Known as the Clancy Singing Group, 

Marion and her late husband and 

children were well-known professional 

singers. Of their 9 children, sadly 3 

have passed away, and their families 

are dedicated with love and devotion 

to their lovely mother. ¶ Barbara 

Norton Schiltzer attended the Reunion 

Weekend 2010. The Golden Tower 

Luncheon in the beautiful College 

Hall was attended to capacity with 

classes from 1935 to the present. 

Barbara and I represented our class 

of 1940 with our daughters. At our 

table was Eleanor Ryan ’39, Alice 

Sullivan Sheehan ’42 with friend Nan, 

and Mary Good ’42. President Mary 

Jane England enjoyed sharing her 

lunch at our table. Barbara has 

resided in Framingham, MA, for the 

last 43 years. Despite 3 hospitalizations 

in 2009, Barbara looks great 

and is enjoying her family. She has 

interests in local and world news, and 

enjoys reading Regis Today. Barbara 

as a student at Regis was involved in 

many class activities and had a great

REGIS TODAY 

interest in and dedication to her Alma 

Mater. ¶ Mary Hastings Kilcoyne has 

been a resident of Clinton, MA, since 

her marriage. John, her devoted 

husband, passed away in 2009. Mary’s 

son Timothy moved in to care for her 

and assist in household responsibilities. 

Daughter Julia and son John and 

their families live in nearby Sterling, 

MA. She and I enjoyed reminiscing 

about our happy Regis days and our 

classmates. I don’t believe I have seen 

Mary since our graduation, although 

we have chatted many times. ¶ Rita 

McNeil Schissel and her husband, 

Charles, a retired physician, have 

lived in Amesbury, MA, for many 

years. All their children grew up in 

Amesbury, MA, and all are in 

professional fields: 2 physicians, 1 

international pilot, 2 in business, and 

3 teachers (Mary, Jeane, and Susan). 

Betsy and her husband, both forest 

rangers, transferred from Yellowstone 

National Park to Clinton, NH. Rita 

and Charles’s recent visit to the 

Langley Lake region in Clinton, 

Maine, was most enjoyable. Rita 

commented that “she is blessed with 

her wonderful family”; they are most 

attentive and dedicated to Rita and 

Charles. ¶ Claire Griffin Deveny has 

been a resident of Clinton Township 

Retirement Facility for many years. 

She retired after 35 years in the 

teaching profession in Clinton 

Township. Her daughter Janice lives 

nearby, with 4 grown daughters and 

grandchildren. Sheila, residing in 

Battle Creek, MI, and Ellen, in Bel 

Aire, MD, visit and chat with their 

mother frequently. Paul, Claire’s 

brother, who lives in the family home 

in Jamaica Plain, also visits and chats 

with her frequently. ¶ A recent chat 

with Marie Dillon Doran Marcellino 

on Aug. 10 informed me that she 

attended mass with 17 relatives 

and friends in her home in West 

Yarmouth, MA. Marie has 4 grown 

children: Steven, Mark, Kathy, and 

Jane, as well as grandchildren, 

great-grandchildren, and 6 stepchildren, 

the children of her late 

husband, Bill Marcellino. With this 

extended family, Marie indeed has 

a very busy schedule, enjoying 

participation in their activities in 

Massachusetts and throughout the 

U.S. Marie continues interests in the 

cultural and religious affairs in West 

Yarmouth, MA, and in her winter 

home of Lexington, MA. ¶ Ruth 

Ferraro Tobin enjoys residing in the 

Dorchester Assisted Living Facility. 

Ruth taught in Boston for over 35 

years. Ruth’s son Jim and his wife, 

Anne, and their 2 sons, Jason and 

Adam, are most attentive to Ruth. 

Jason is a junior at John Hopkins 

University, and Adam is a UMass 

graduate. Ruth and family enjoy 

their summer home in Westerley, RI. 

¶ For several years Beatrice Cunniff 

Quinn was ill with cancer. During this 

period, I called her frequently. She 

never complained. We enjoyed 

chatting about our families, world 

events, and news concerning Regis. 

On Feb. 16, her daughter Judy called 

to say that her beloved mother had 

passed away peacefully at home 

surrounded by her children: Francis, 

Judy, and Mary Ann. A lovely lady is 

rejoicing with her husband, Bill, in 

their heavenly home. ¶ Due to a 

recent fall injuring her pelvic bone, 

Marie Scanlon Flaherty was hospitalized 

with a long period of rehab. 

During her rehab, her husband 

underwent heart surgery. Due to good 

care by her family, medication, and 

physical therapy, they are both back 

in their beautiful home in Scituate, 

MA. Complete recovery is anticipated 

in the near future. Marie’s nephews, 

Jay, Richard, and Eric, and niece, 

Elaine, children of Marie’s late sister, 

Joey Scanlon Carlson, have been of 

great assistance and dedicated to the 

comfort of Marie and Matt. Matt and 

Marie are looking forward to again 

actively supporting the Boston 

College Cape Club. ¶ As for me, Mary 

Kerr Lynch, my family was invited to 

the Alumni Luncheon, including my 

sons, Kevin, Robert, and Michael, 

Michael’s wife, Peggy, my daughter 

Mary, and Lisa Kerr, the daughter of 

my late brother, Peter Kerr, and Marie 

O’Leary Kerr. Gladys Kiely McMakin 

and her daughter Macia enjoyed 

having luncheon at the 1940 Reunion 

table. All were very proud that their 

mother was the recipient of the 

Loyalty Award 2010. President Mary 

Jane England personally presented to 

me a beautiful silver plaque inscribed 

“Regis College 2010 Alumni Loyalty 

Award ’40.” ¶ She announced that she 

was retiring as president of Regis in 

2011. She will be sorely missed as a 

great president. ¶ Classmates, be 

healthy and happy as summer ebbs 

into a surrounding world ablaze 

with fall color amid warm breezes. 

Bless one and all and Regis high 

on the hilltop.

I’m writing these class news items, I 

am on Cape Cod on July 8, and it is 

96 degrees outside. What a hot and 

wonderful summer this has been! ¶ 

It is with sadness that I report the 

deaths of Mary Osborn Rice on Jan. 

8, 2010, and Eileen G. McSoley on 

Apr. 19, 2010. Please remember both 

of them and their families in your 

prayers. They will be remembered 

at the Annual Memorial Liturgy on 

Nov. 14, 2010, in the College Hall 

Chapel. ¶ The news events are many 

on this writing. Our 65th Reunion 

in May was attended by Philomene 

Winchester Murphy, Doris Lynch, Doris 

Burns Sullivan, Mary Carr Simeone, 

Mary Foley Dowd, Betty McNally 

Finigan, Mildred Burns Sullivan, and 

yours truly, Annette Pendergast. True, 

there were only 8 of us, and we 8 

paraded and carried our 1945 banner 

proudly. The events of our Reunion 

were wonderful. The luncheons, the 

welcome reception, the dinners, and 

the parade of classes were noteworthy. 

Even our own 2 parties that we 

held were successful. They included 

Chuck and Mary Carr Simeone 

and their 2 daughters, and also 

from Chicago came Betty McNally 

Finigan’s daughter Anne and her 

husband, Carl. Anne was celebrating 

her 30th Reunion with the Class 

of 1970. I heard from Betty Cronin 

Crane from Naples, FL, that she could 

not make it, and the same for Mary 

Hannon Monahan of New Canaan, 

CT, and Rita Manion Ludlum of New 

Jersey. Doris Burns Sullivan made 

the Reunion all the way from Winter 

Park, FL. Her oldest son is a 3-star 

vice admiral in the Navy Air Corps. 

He is now the Military Representative 

to NATO in Washington, D.C. Also, 

her son Stephen is a pilot with 

Delta Airlines and is making runs to 

Tokyo. He was located in Brussels, 

and Doris and her husband had a 

great visit with him there. ¶ After 

our farewell party we had time 

for a class meeting when everyone 

pitched in to see what leaders in the 

class might keep the class of 1945 

together. No arrangement of class 

officers was recommended, nor were 

there any volunteers who would be 

willing to fill in. I’ll keep you posted 

and update you on any changes. ¶

The Annual Regis College Cape Cod 

Summer Luncheon took place on July 

29, 2010, at the Coonamessett Inn, 

located in Falmouth, MA. Dr. Mary E. 

Chamberland, Class of 1974, was the 

guest speaker. She had received her 

MD degree in 1979 and her master’s 

in Public Health in 1982. She discussed 

the U.S. Centers for Disease 

Control, the Health Protection Agency, 

and the World Health Organization. 

This was most interesting and informative 

news of her career and accomplishments. 

From the Class of 1945, 

only Philomene Winchester Murphy 

and I attended, but we thoroughly 

enjoyed the afternoon. Also, Barbara 

Clancy, Director of Alumni Relations, 

deserves another round of applause 

for the major part she played in running 

the luncheon. ¶ If you have any 

news, no matter how minor, please 

drop me a note. Girls of 1945 Class, 

stay healthy and happy!

¶ Our class has had a very active 

summer season. At the annual Regis 

College Cape Cod Luncheon, the class 

was well represented when President 

Mary Jane England shared the good 

news of increasing enrollment in the 

freshman class. Coonamessett Inn 

offered a delightful setting for the 

140 alumnae and friends to mix and 

mingle. Representing the Class of ’47 

were class president Gertrude Breen 

Alfredson, Jean Curran, Mary Reddican 

McEttrick, Alice Dunbar O’Halloran, 

and Louise McInernery Ryder. Also 

this summer, Phyllis Gallinelli Campell 

hosted a ladies’ lunch in Marshfield 

for Gertrude Alfredson, S. Dorothy 

McKenzie, Alice O’Halloran, and Jeanne 

McDonough Cronin. Dot reported 

to those gathered about the grand 

adventures she had during her summer 

visit to the St. Joseph’s community 

beach house in Cohasset. We 

hear that classmate Joan Moynaugh, 

who has been “artist in residence” in 

Ohio, plans to return to the Bay State 

sometime soon. We look forward to 

reconnecting! We also heard Catherine 

Pattavina was among the participants 

at the memorial mass for our recently 

deceased classmate, S. Therese 

Higgins. My husband, Albert, and I 

have been fortunate to spend Aug. 

and Sept. at our daughter’s Cape 

home, which has given me a chance 

to spend time with many of our Capebased 

classmates. During our stay, 

Elaine Richardson ’76 hosted a luncheon 

for Dorothy Mahoney McKenna, 

Peg Donovan, Rita Dailey Fahey, and 

me. It was a chance to catch up and 

share some news. Rita was passing 

through mid-Cape after a vacation 

with her husband, Frank, in Wellfleet, 

where her daughter Michelle’s family 

was summering. Dot, as always, was 

full of news. She has enjoyed visits 

by her children and grandchildren 

all summer long, and she reports 

that she’s back to full speed after a 

few readjustments to her replaced 

hip. I had occasion to welcome Peg 

Donovan into the “so you broke your 

hip club” earlier this summer (I’ve 

broken both over the years!). She and 

I have shared a few “physical therapy 

sessions” in her pool. Peg’s partial hip 

replacement has not slowed her a bit, 

and during our lunch she told us of 

her many travels this year, including 

the annual winter escape to St. 

Maarten and Aruba. Also in August, 

I had the pleasure of attending mass 

one Sunday morning at the home of 

Marie Dillon Doran ’40. At the gathering 

in celebration of the feast of the 

Assumption alongside the sparkling 

waters of Lewis Bay were Marie’s 

daughter, Cathy Doran ’74, my 

daughter Elaine, and Doris Tassinari, 

the sister of our classmate Eleanor 

Reagan Curran. Marie’s grandchildren, 

Katy and Dan Doran, and my 

grandson, Connor Patrick Richardson, 

participated as lectors and servers 

in the mass. Please drop me a 

line about your recent or upcoming 

adventures so that we can add your 

news to the next alumnae magazine. 

And of course I hope we will have the 

chance to convene in November when 

the Regis community honors those 

friends and classmates who have been 

called home to the Lord during the 

annual Mass of Remembrance. In the 

meantime, stay happy and 

healthy and stay in touch!

¶ Present at the lovely 

Alumni Luncheon at Regis 

in May were several of 

our classmates, including 

Marion Blue Brennan, 

Barbara Sullivan, Jane 

McGrath, Marie Fisher Lee, Ann O’Hare 

Smith and S. Regina Harrington, CSJ. 

Recently, Barbara enjoyed a cruise 

down the Atlantic coastline, and 

Marie Fisher Lee had a wonderful 

family reunion. She brought great 

pictures with her to the luncheon to 

share with her classmates. Nancie 

Turner Donelan, having just celebrated 

the birth of her second grandchild, 

has begun to think that Heloise needs 

help. She wanted to share her latest 

hint for cleaning a dirty microwave 

oven. Set the microwave to 2 minutes 

and nuke 1 cup of water and 2 or 3 

tablespoons of lime juice. Let stand 

until cool. Wipe with paper towel. 

Voila, spotless microwave. Use rest of 

lime to flavor a summer beverage of 

your own choosing (that’s my hint). 

Marion Mulrennan Graham reports 

that her family traveled en masse to 

County Mayo for the wedding of son 

Patrick and his beautiful Irish lass. 

Rumor has it that it was the best 

wedding ever on either side of the 

Atlantic. The Mulrennan family also 

has its roots in that same country. 

Our roving reporter met with Mary 

Jane Crowley Murray for brunch at the 

All Day Breakfast Restaurant, near 

Goose Rocks Beach. Her family felt 

she needed a break after a difficult 

year and made all the arrangements 

to allow her to have three days of visiting 

in the vacation spot of her youth. 

She was able to meet with a number 

of old friends. What a thoughtful 

family, and what a perfect gift. We 

received notice recently that our 

classmates, Mary Lou Queenan Borges 

and Mary Alice Scanlan Connelly, had 

passed away. May God grant them 

great joy and peace. We extend our 

deepest sympathy to their families 

and friends. Since news is sparse for 

this issue, despite the good work done 

by our constantly roving reporter, 

I thought I would reminisce with 

some thoughts from a talk I gave at 

our 25th Reunion, June 1973, titled 

“I Remember Regis.” ¶ Twenty-five 

years ago, the world was young, and 

so were we. We were, despite a World 

War, or perhaps because of it, a docile 

generation, steeped in innocence and 

naïveté. We had at Regis, this class of 

class notes 

I had the occasion to 

welcome Peg Donovan ’47 

to the “so you broke 

your hip club” 

earlier this summer.

FALL 10

REGIS TODAY 

1948, a spirit that is often considered 

unusual today, in the same way that 

patriotism and love of country sometimes 

seem, to some, to be out of date. 

I remember Regis well, as everyone 

remembers any loved time of life 

which is past, with nostalgic affection 

and fond memories. I remember the 

first day as a freshman, full of confusion 

and uncertainty and amazement 

at the sophistication of every member 

of the upper classes. I remember the 

chugging blue buses which met the 

trains at Kendall Green station and 

I was more often 

than not, glimpsed 

running 

furiously in the 

wrong direction. 

brought us up to Regis, up the hill 

lined with poplars on the main driveway. 

They seemed to wave in happy 

greeting on good days and warn us 

to mend our ways when we had not 

finished assignments. I remember 

the mail room crowded with eager 

students anticipating a letter from 

an APO Box number, so much a part 

of our lives then. There were crestfallen 

looks on faces that found an 

empty box, and looks of relief when 

there was news that a brother, beau, 

or friend was safe, at least for the 

moment. I remember the lane, the 

very old lane with the large fallen 

log, way down past the athletic field, 

where the ground was always covered 

in damp leaves and the smell of wood 

almost but not quite obliterated the 

smell of smoke. I remember the new 

lane, down on the other side of the old 

gym, in the apple orchard, where for 

the first time smoking was permitted 

and therefore not quite so much fun. 

(We are a little bit smarter today!) I 

remember the walks and rides to the 

studio for those high-calorie Italian 

dinners, and the trips to Wellesley 

for slightly more upscale meals. Then 

there were the long walks to Weston, 

where we enjoyed ice-cream cones, 

with the admonishments about ladylike 

behavior ringing in our ears. We 

always were aware that our presence 

was only tolerated. I remember the 

field hockey in the hockey field and 

the race across campus to science 

class still huffing and puffing. With 

all that, I never did learn all of the 

field Hockey rules. No one wanted 

me on her team, as I was more often 

than not, glimpsed running furiously 

in the wrong direction. I remembered 

the library on the third floor, where 

we were always and forever, making 

too much noise no matter how often 

we were shushed by the person at 

the desk. Sometimes it was a fellow 

student, and, of course, then we 

would be even more noisy and more 

difficult to quiet. I remember the 

carpools disgorging their occupants 

as the sleepyheads, unlucky enough 

to have a first class, were racing in a 

usually vain attempt to be on time. I 

remember the Boat, that near 

bit of real estate on the prow 

of Regis Hall, with S. Caroline, 

CSJ, reigning on the third 

floor, and S. Monica, CSJ, who 

awaited our arrival back where 

we gave her reviews of what 

we had seen. We had only one 

complaint about those treats. 

They just did not happen often 

enough. Who could forget 

the dreaded World History 

course with S. Jacqueline, 

CSJ, which was the highest 

academic hurdle for everyone 

in the freshman class. We all 

really thought the world was 

much too large to be contained in one 

course. Then there were the dances 

where we pooled every male resource 

so that everyone who wished could 

have a date to fill in for the boys who 

were away. The song that exemplified 

this time was one we sang often, 

“They’re Either Too Young or Too Old.” 

We prayed for those in the service, 

we wrote faithfully, we truly missed 

them, but we really did love to dance. 

Any of the big band songs I hear, 

especially Glen Miller’s, takes me 

immediately back to those days and 

are still my favorite popular music. 

¶ I do not have enough space to finish 

this, so I will leave you wanting 

more, I hope, and will finish in the 

next issue. ¶ Please send me your 

reminiscences or old stories, your new 

news, or even (be kind) your criticism 

or corrections. Share some of your 

life with us or, I promise you, you 

will hear more than you ever need to 

know about me. You have the choice 

of email, snail mail, or phone calls 

to send information along. Become 

a roving reporter and bring us up to 

date about you. ¶ Au revoir for now, 

my good friends. May God bless us all, 

each and every one. 

1949 

✒ Betty Ann Hynes Elliott, 38 Oxford 

Road, Wellesley, MA 02481, baelliott2@ 

verizon.net¶ After an exceptionally 

hot and humid summer for many of 

us, I hope you’re enjoying a beautiful 

fall season as you read this. Sadly 

we lost our ever faithful, most loyal, 

extremely diligent fund agent of many 

years this past spring. Pat Molloy 

McDermott passed away in Apr. after 

a brief illness. Pat saw to it every 

year that each and every classmate 

was contacted regarding the annual 

fund. As a result, the class of ’49 was 

at or near the top in giving year after 

year. Pat leaves 5 children, their 

spouses, and several grandchildren. 

¶ Also in Apr. Barbara Calnan Murphy 

died. Barbara had been living at St. 

Patrick’s Manor in Framingham, 

MA, in recent years. Jean McKenna 

O’Keefe passed away in July. Jean 

and her husband had retired to Cape 

Cod. She leaves 2 daughters, 6 sons, 

and 19 grandchildren. We extend our 

deepest sympathy to Pat’s, Barbara’s 

and Jean’s families and friends. 

These classmates will be remembered 

at the Memorial Liturgy in Nov. ¶ 

Four classmates lost their husbands 

recently: Shirley Hession Hendrickson’s 

husband, Robert, passed away in Apr., 

as did Charlotte Malone Corcoran’s 

husband, Paul. Thomas Kilcoyne, 

husband of Maryann Boyce Kilcoyne, 

died in July, and also in July Ann 

McLaughlin Brodbine’s husband, John, 

passed away. We offer prayers and 

condolences to all of these classmates 

and their families. ¶ While trying 

to do a small amount of Pat’s expert 

fund-raising Cay Foley Hines enjoyed 

chatting with many classmates. These 

classmates are loyal contributors to 

the annual fund even though many 

are unable to attend our events. Mary 

Nelson Cobb, a home economics major, 

lives in Milton, MA, and continues 

to teach at Curry College. Her fellow 

teachers and students have been a 

great support to her following the 

loss not only of her husband but also 

of her daughter, who was her only 

child. Marion Comerford Cowie enjoyed 

a 10-day cruise on the Canadien St. 

Lawrence River and was looking 

forward to another cruise, this time 

in Italy in Sept. ¶ Norma Maloney 

Crowley was saddened and shocked 

to hear of the death of her dear friend 

Barbara Calnan Murphy. She was 

told the sad news when she called 

Barbara at St. Patrick’s Manor for one 

of her frequent phone chats. Norma 

is busy overseeing the care of her 

older sister. Barbara Phillips DiChiro 

still resides in her home in Bethesda, 

MD, where she raised her family. 

She traveled the world with her late 

husband, who was a physician for the 

U.S. government. Even though she is 

housebound with arthritis, Barbara 

was very cheerful and interested in 

her many classmates. ¶ Anna Marie 

Davis Nappa, who has been battling 

cancer for a long time, was also full 

of cheer and interested in her fellow 

Regisites. She was at a rehab, sitting 

in a wheelchair most of the day, going 

to therapy and hoping to return to 

her new townhouse in Uxbridge, MA.

Her children are a godsend to her. Al 

Hanley McDermott still lives in her 

family home on Long Island, near her 

children. They keep her young and 

help ease the loss of her dear husband, 

John. ¶ Eleanor Melville Kilbourn has 

recently downsized to a townhouse, 

still in Bountiful, UT. Her husband 

died suddenly right after they moved 

there, leaving her with 5 young children. 

They all helped their mother so 

she could return to work as a social 

worker when the youngest went to 

school. Lois Morrison Steffensen still 

lives in her home of 40 years, located 

in Vienna, VA. Her husband, a West 

Point graduate, also died suddenly 

at the age of 53, leaving her with 4 

young children. She volunteers at a 

nearby hospital and is active with 

her West Point friends. Margie Sellers 

Fitzpatrick enjoyed our 60th Reunion. 

She still lives in Toledo, OH, but 

visits her sister on the Cape annually. 

While there she gets together 

with Nancy Natoli Fay, Ann McGrath 

Cullinan, Pat Cauley Ross, and yours 

truly. Margie’s daughter, Amy O’Neil, 

was honored to receive a Governor’s 

Award for Outstanding Women in 

New Mexico because of her work as a 

court-appointed special advocate for 

children. Margie was able to travel 

to New Mexico to attend the award 

ceremony. Congratulations to all! ¶ 

Pat Foley Granahan was also saddened 

by the death of Pat Molloy and 

attended the funeral along with Mary 

Breslin, Kaye Barron Cox, and Rosemary 

McAuliffe. As usual several ’49ers 

enjoyed the Cape Cod luncheon at 

Coonamessett Inn in Falmouth, MA, 

in July. Charlotte Malone Corcoran 

and her daughter were scheduled to 

attend but were unable to at the last 

minute, as Charlotte suffered a fall. 

She has moved to Middlebrook Farms 

at Trumbull, CN, and is most appreciative 

of all the love and prayers she 

has received in the past few months. ¶ 

I heard that Cay Foley Hines and Lois 

McQueeney Moulton had a grand time 

on the Cape Cod Canal Cruise in July. 

Lois’s granddaughter is still modeling 

as she continues her studies at 

Northeastern U. Also on the Cape this 

past summer a group of alums enjoyed 

Hairspray at the Dennis Playhouse. It 

was a wonderful performance: lively 

music, great cast and sets, and lots of 

laughs. I met a niece of Dottie Lewis 

Rose’s when we all gathered after the 

show, Rose Mary Lewis Irwin ’79. She 

said Dottie is widowed and has lost 2 

sons, is still in Topsfield, MA, and is 

busy as ever. ¶ Does any of the above 

inspire you to tell us something about 

yourself? I hope so. Don’t be shy. You 

know where to reach me. I hope to see 

many of you at our annual fall luncheon 

and/or at the Memorial Liturgy 

in Nov. Till then, good luck and good 

health to you and yours!

¶ Our 60th Reunion on the weekend 

of May 21–23, 2010, passed ever 

so quickly, but our bonds of friendship 

have grown over the years. The 

weather was cooperative, just perfect. 

For people who haven’t been back on 

campus for several years, the change 

is most notable—many more buildings, 

lush green playing fields, and 

male students. It was summertime, 

but there were students on campus 

taking summer courses, notably in 

nursing. The students we encountered 

were as friendly as students were in 

our day. In our student days the foyer 

was sacrosanct, but no longer. It is 

used for a variety of events. In fact, 

our luncheon was held there. Golf 

carts were available for transportation 

on the hilly campus. Despite the 

many changes, one constant remains: 

the warm, friendly spirit. ¶ Seventeen 

of our classmates gathered for the 

Reunion: Mary Casey Acton, Marie 

Dillon Canane, Gerry Mullin Cornes, 

Beth Finn Deschenes, Dreda Kallaher 

George, Mary Buckley Glennon, Theresa 

LeBlanc Gray, Amy Chin Guen, Helen 

Konopacka Jennings, Helen Harty 

Keough, Nancy Gaynor McGuire, Mary 

Daily Neylon, Barbara Tyrrell Nugent, 

Alfreda Swiston O’Hara, Alice Boyce 

Smith, Cay Nolan Sokol, and Virginia 

Looney Weamer. We had a lot of fun 

reliving our student days, looking at 

pictures, and just reminiscing. We 

recalled our friends who have left this 

world and whom we miss. (I could 

not but hope that there was a class 

of ’50 Reunion going on in Heaven as 

we celebrated in Weston, MA.) Marie 

Canane came the greatest distance— 

California. Gerry Mullin Cornes drove 

up from Baltimore, MD, at 2 a.m., 

picked up Nancy Gaynor McGuire in 

CT, and arrived at Regis at noon in 

time for the Golden Tower Luncheon. 

I call that a heroic effort. Gerry loves 

to drive and regaled us with stories 

of her trips with grandchildren and 

dogs. ¶ We heard from Dottie Higgins 

Conroy, who had planned to attend 

but was sidelined at the last minute 

with a very bad cold. Celia McCarthy 

Cleary was recovering from a broken 

hip, and both Barbara Shea Vines and 

Mary Kilcoyne Choquette were unable 

to join us because of illness but 

wished to be remembered to everyone. 

Claire McNamara Connell is having 

problems with her eyes and couldn’t 

make the trip. Lois Vachon Ward is 

in assisted living and sends her best. 

Anne Stingel Bolton, always a faithful 

attendee, missed Reunion because 

of back problems. Jackie Choquette 

Picard worked hard on the Reunion 

planning but was unable to attend 

because of a previously planned family 

event. We really missed all of you 

who were unable to join us and hope 

to see you at the next get-together. ¶ 

Cay Nolan Sokol, our class president, 

conducted our class meeting, and 

we felt she has done such a good job 

that we asked her to continue. Alice 

Boyce Smith presented an impressive 

treasurer’s report and would welcome 

any math major to audit it. She also 

agreed to continue. Many thanks for 

all your hard work, Cay and Alice. ¶ 

We received a lovely note from Celia 

Tseng Teng from Long Beach, CA; she 

sends her love and best wishes. Her 

husband has died, and she now lives 

alone but entertains her 3 children, 9 

grandchildren, and 1 great-grandchild 

often. She loves gardening and is 

mastering the computer. Alfreda 

talked with Margaret Coppinger 

Murphy from Naples, FL; her husband 

is not well. They have 7 children and 

5 grandchildren. Alfreda discovered 

that Margaret had worked summers 

in a hotel in Magnolia where Alfreda 

now lives. ¶ Alfreda flew to San 

Francisco in Aug. to attend the wedding 

of her granddaughter. She spent 

the rest of the time traveling the coast 

sightseeing with her family. ¶ Alice 

Boyce Smith’s oldest granddaughter, 

Lyndsay Mills McNiff, was married 

July 22 in a beautiful ceremony in 

CT. Lyndsay is the oldest daughter 

of Alice’s oldest daughter and had all 

nine of Alice’s beautiful granddaughters 

in the wedding. A few weeks later 

Alice had a pacemaker inserted in 

her heart; this came as a complete 

surprise and fortunately she is feeling 

well again. ¶ My (Mary) oldest granddaughter, 

who graduated Holy Cross 

in 2006, has left a promising business 

career in Chicago to enroll in graduate 

school at U of Pennsylvania. She 

is in a master’s program to prepare to

her Ed.M in elementary and special 

education from Rivier College in 

Nashua in May. ¶ We haven’t heard 

from Marie De Montigny Murray in a 

long time. But no wonder: she, her 

husband, and their 5 children have 

been living in France, Germany, and 

Spain for many years but now are 

back in the States. What a wonderful 

opportunity they have had to learn 

different customs and languages! We 

hope Mary can join us at a future 

class meeting. ¶ And speaking of class 

meetings, Cay is arranging for us to 

get together on Thursday, Sept. 23, at 

the Student Union on campus. We all 

will be getting a letter soon concerning 

this. We hope as many of us as 

possible will attend. At this time of 

our life we should seize every opportunity 

to enjoy life and be thankful for 

our blessings. ¶ Jackie, Alfreda, and 

I continue to be class correspondents,

✒ Marie Barbano Tassinari, 2 Bellevue 

Road, Arlington, MA 02476 ¶ The 

day was a glorious one, sitting at 

Lighthouse Beach in Chatham waiting 

a sighting of the great white 

sharks who were threatening the 

Cape shores and the innocent seals. 

A light breeze, bright blue sky with 

puffy white clouds, and a calm sea! 

All this put me into a reflective mood. 

Then it came, not the sharks but 

the reality that my copy for Regis 

Today was due. Now this is reality. 

So here I am again. ¶ For the past 

4 years it has been my task to bring 

you a glimpse into the lives of some 

of our classmates. Perhaps this is the 

time to apologize that too few of you 

have made these pages. Forgive me; 

my successor will surely do a better 

job. ¶ Nonetheless, we have heard of 

the lives of some of our classmates. 

You have read of their joys and even 

sadness, and followed their delightful 

years with their beloved spouses, 

their pride as mothers and now 

as grandmothers. We have taken 

note of the achievements of those 

who pursued careers as well as our 

classmates who toil for the Lord. ¶ 

In looking back we ’51ers have led 

varied and interesting lives as well 

as productive ones in our families 

and workplaces, and in the society 

in which we live. We ’51ers have left 

our mark! Who would have known 

back in those Regis days what would 

have become of that “class full of fun”! 

¶ I told you earlier that beach scene 

made me reflective—a look now at 

the present. Ann Brown Janes, we are 

happy to report, has survived a near 

drowning. Ann, do take care. We need 

our class historian. ¶ Margie Linney 

Carroll, although fighting a serious illness, 

did take her trip to the Passion 

Play in Oberammagau and enjoyed 

it immensely. But she did return 

to flood conditions at her Lakeville 

summer home. Margie continues all 

of her activities, grateful she can 

still do so. ¶ Our class baby, Barbara 

Coolen Corrado, recently celebrated 

her birthday with her family, who 

helped blow out all 80 candles. I 

presume most of us had that experience 

this year. Actually, being 80 

isn’t that bad at all. Maybe! ¶ The 

Boston area group attended the Tower 

Luncheon at Regis. It is an event not 

to be missed. The gals attending were 

Ann Downey Tierney (recovering from 

back surgery), Barbara Phair McCarthy, 

Florence Kelly McKenna, Ann Brown 

Janes, Barbara Palmer Schlichte, Pat 

Chisholm, Joan Williamson Horsman, 

and Janice McBride Power. ¶ Our class 

president, Janice McBride Power, 

presided over a class meeting; the 

main matter of business was our 

60th Reunion. You read it correctly, 

our 60th. Please pay special attention 

to future communications from 

the college containing important 

information about the college, a new 

president, and Reunion plans. Save 

the date, May 2011. ¶ This last report 

would be sorely incomplete without 

kudos to Mary Lee McLaughlin Girouard 

for her successful endeavors as our 

Class Fund Representative. No easy 

task! This year she continued to 

perform her job above and beyond— 

even through Armand’s illness. Mary 

Lee, you are a wonder! Let us ’51ers 

continue our support of Regis and 

put a large smile on Mary Lee’s face, 

especially in our Reunion year. A 

special thanks to Mary Lee from this 

class reporter for all your assistance— 

my dear ghostwriter. ¶ Living to be 80 

years old has taught us many lessons. 

We learned life can be beautiful, but 

not at all times or for all of us. Surely 

we have felt the threat of the great 

white shark. However, at the present 

time too many of our classmates and 

their families are actually experiencing 

the sting of the shark in the form 

of serious illness. I ask you sincerely 

to tuck these old Regis friends into 

your daily prayers. ¶ Thank you all 

for being you, the Regis Class of 1951. 

I look forward to seeing many of you 

at our 60th Reunion, May 2011.

617-479-0339 ¶ It is with joy that I 

report good news concerning a very 

special member of our class, Sister 

Mary Hart of the Sisters of Good 

Shepherd. Sister received an honorary 

degree at the 2010 Boston College 

graduation. Tribute was paid to her 

for how she has “lived her life.” Mary 

worked for some years in an afterschool 

program for disadvantaged 

youths and dedicated her life to these 

young people, whom she considers 

her family. She is serving at St. 

Katherine Drexel Parish in West 

Roxbury. Mary also received an award 

in Nov. 2009 from Cardinal Sean 

O’Malley for her leadership in the 

African-American community. This 

award was given in recognition of 

the after-school program she started 

and for her dedication to education 

in the black Catholic community. 

Mary, we are proud to have you as a 

special member of our class. When 

I talked with Mary, she was looking 

forward to a vacation at Seabrook, 

NH, with her family. She planned 

to drive to Hampton Beach to spend 

some time with Mary Foley Noon and 

Patricia Hogan Hogan. ¶ I spoke with 

Sally Finnerty Tully in PA. She spends 

about 3 days each week helping her 

daughter, Beth, with her three children. 

Beth lives in upstate NY, but 

Sally happily makes the trip. ¶ We 

had a wonderful time at the Golden 

Tower Luncheon in May. About 14 

classmates showed up. However, I 

lost the list of names. Forgive me. 

Patricia Donovan Bondelevitch sat 

next to me, so I know that she was 

there looking especially well. She 

is happy with her new home in NH 

and is now a serious gardener. Well, 

maybe not too serious. It was fun to 

share some laughs and memories with 

her. ¶ A class meeting was held after 

the luncheon. The raffle prize, won 

by Jill McKearin Paredes, was a lovely 

painting done by Antoinette Navarro 

Campbell. The 2011 raffle will be for a 

fleece Red Sox throw donated by Marie 

Fleming Sisk. ¶ Marie Rizzo called and 

is serving on the Board of Morality in 

the Media. Her sister Rita is president. 

They work on violence in the 

media and its effects on family values. 

Marie was enthused about a dinner 

run in June 2010 where they had 3 

speakers, including the sheriff from 

her area. Marie keeps in touch with 

Antoinette Navarro Campbell, who 

devotes much of her time to her twin 

grandchildren, who are no longer at 

Perkins School for the Blind and are 

now doing well at Bunker Community 

College. Antoinette is very proud 

of the girls. It is very motivating 

to talk to members of our class. ¶ I 

reached Jill McKearin Paredes, who 

was enthusiastic about a meeting 

in May cosponsored by the Scituate 

and Weymouth Voice of the Faithful. 

The speaker was James Carroll, who 

educated more than 200 people with 

his talk on Vatican II, which Jill said 

was inspiring. He also referenced

his new book, Practicing Catholics. ¶ 

Jill had recently spoken with Nancy 

Quinn O’Keefe, who came to the May 

Tower Luncheon even though our 

chauffeur, Jill, was suffering from 

painful back problems and unable to 

attend. Of course, we have our other 

South Shore driver, Marie Fleming 

Sisk—so we are always ready to go. 

¶ I would love to hear from other 

’52ers, so please call or write to me. 

¶ Before I close, I would recommend 

that you read the beautiful articles 

on Sister Therese Higgins in the 

spring/summer issue of Regis Today. 

Mention is made of Sister Flavia. 

I found the write-ups so touching 

and inspirational. Their lives are 

what Regis is all about. ¶ And so my 

friends, as most of us will be 80 this 

year, HAPPY BIRTHDAY… Exercise. 

Energize.

✒ Shirley Connors Sardella, 52 Eunice 

Circle, Wakefield, MA 01880, 781-224-

gentle wind and cannot believe you 

will read Regis Today sometime in 

autumn. Thanksgiving and Christmas 

plans will undoubtedly be spinning 

around in our minds by then. ¶ We 

remember in sorrow our recently 

deceased classmates. Barbara Lynch 

Flynn died on Good Friday, Apr. 2, 

2010. Sister Katherine Higgins, CSJ, 

died on Apr. 14, 2010. Anne Ward Ward 

died on May 20, 2010. We will never 

forget their vibrancy and zest for life. 

May they rest in the peace of Christ. 

¶ Joan Carroll McAuliffe writes about 

her extensive travels, and I will share 

her experiences with you. “A year ago 

this Feb. I was on a cruise through the 

Panama Canal instead of waiting for a 

snowstorm! It’s amazing to see passenger 

and container ships being raised 

and lowered as they pass through the 

locks on their way east and west. In 

Costa Rica we toured banana plantations 

and went by boat through the 

rain forest, sighting monkeys, toucans, 

sloths, and crocodiles. We enjoyed an 

afternoon in an Embera Indian village 

and joined native songs and dances. A 

day in Cartagenia, Columbia, brought 

us to the historic walled city, the 

mighty San Felipe fortress and an 

ancient Spanish monastery. Of course, 

we shopped for emeralds. Stops in 

Aruba and Jamaica filled out our trip. 

¶ In Oct. of 2009 my friend (my son-inlaw’s 

mother) and I journeyed to the 

Mediterranean and Aegean seas. After 

4 days touring Rome, we sailed from 

the Port of Rome to the gorgeous Isle 

of Capri and on to the boutiques, cafes, 

and flower-filled streets of Sorrento. 

A stop at the Cameo factory near 

Pompeii was most interesting. On a 

walking tour of the ruins of Pompeii, 

we explored the villas, theaters, and 

baths of this buried Roman city. ¶ 

We cruised the Mediterranean Sea 

and stopped in Athens, where we 

climbed the 80 steps of the Acropolis 

to the Parthenon. Later, we dined 

on a traditional Greek feast and 

then strolled the cobbled lanes of the 

Plaka, home to shops and boutiques. 

On our stop in Ephesus, Turkey, 

we walked the marble roads of the 

ruins of this Roman capital. Here St. 

Paul preached to the Ephesians in 

the Great Theater and St. John the 

Apostle was buried. We visited the 

House of the Virgin Mary, a shrine 

recognized by the Vatican as the final 

resting place of Mary. ¶ The Grand 

Bazaar in Istanbul, Turkey, was a 

shopper’s paradise. The Blue Mosque 

entrance, adorned with 6 minarets 

was impressive. The climax of our 

trip was docking at Port Said, Cairo, 

and traveling overland to the Great 

Pyramid at Giza. It was, indeed, 

an awesome sight to see the pyramids 

rising from the desert. We also 

enjoyed the view from on top of a 

camel’s back! We stood amazed at the 

sight of the Sphinx, thought to guard 

the Pharaoh. We relaxed for lunch on 

a Nile riverboat. It was a totally memorable 

trip.” Thank you, Joan, for your 

fascinating letter. ¶ Lenore Walton 

McCormack wrote from California 

about Anne Ward Ward’s death on 

May 20. Lenore attended Anne’s 

memorial mass and will deeply miss 

her. Lenore also wrote about her fabulous 

trip to MA for a reunion with her 

two younger sisters. They had 

a wonderful journey together 

through the Berkshires and 

southern VT. She enjoys reading 

Regis Today and hopes the 

northeast summer heat wave 

wasn’t too difficult. Palos Verdes 

had a cool summer. Thank you 

for writing to us, Lenore. We are 

always delighted to hear from 

you. ¶ Claire Russell Megan and 

Claire O’Connell McAuliffe hosted 

a luncheon get-together for our 

class on June 3 at the Woodland 

Country Club in Newton, MA. 

About 19 classmates attended, 

even a few from NH and the 

Cape. We thank both Claires for 

keeping our class together. ¶ 

Last May, John and I attended our 

granddaughter Jennifer’s graduation 

from Bucknell University in 

Lewisburg, PA. In Aug., our 8th 

grandchild, 6-week-old Stephanie, 

visited us from Texas along with her 

older brother, 28-month-old Jason. 

Their parents accompanied them, of 

course. ¶ It is with great sadness that

“What happened to Janet.” Well, she 

retired, and I have taken her place. 

I will try to fill her shoes, but it will 

be difficult. ¶ Our 55th Reunion in 

May was a great success. From the 

opening luncheon in the foyer on 

Friday to the final event on Sunday, 

it was fun. There were about 26 of us 

there, and it was good to be together 

again. As usual, Rosalie L’Ecuyer came 

the farthest. She reports that she 

stopped in at the Spellman Stamp 

Museum during her stay and a week 

later the museum posted a visit from 

a member from Alaska. We all know 

who that was! At our class meeting it 

was suggested that we might include 

more specific information about our 

classmates, so that will be added, but 

we will still focus on our thoughts 

and ideas. ¶ “If you could be any 

age, what age would you be? Why?” 

This was the question we asked our 

classmates. Nancy Roche Buckhoff 

says, “I really can’t decide on one 

time in my life because there are so 

class notes 

Living to be 80, 

we have learned that 

life can be beautiful, but 

not at all times, and 

not for all of us. 

many. I would love to be in college 

once again because I loved my 4 years 

at Regis. I would love to walk down 

the aisle with Buck because it was 

the beginning of our life together. And 

last but not least, I would love to be 

young enough to have more children. 

Might sound crazy, but that’s how 

I feel.” ¶ Nancy Goggin Lane writes, 

“In response to your question, I think 

I will stay where I am and ‘bloom 

where I’m planted!!!’ Happy that I am 

on my way out, and disappointed in 

the direction this country is headed. 

Our grandchildren deserve much 

better than this!” ¶ Janet Condrey

Beyer tells us, “What age would I like 

to be? I would like to be a combination. 

I liked being 15 because of the 

fun and freedom I had biking and 

swimming, simple summer work, 

traveling in packs with friends, and 

being thin enough that ice-cream 

sodas were not a problem. But for 

mental age, I prefer the stability 

of being 60. By the time I was 60 I 

had the maturity to know what my

next trip is to Denmark 

and St. Petersburg 

bypassing the 

fires of Moscow. 

abilities were, what I was able to 

accomplish, and was secure in family 

and friends. So the body and freedom 

of 15 and the maturity of 60 would 

be a perfect combination.” ¶ Barbara 

Kelley Kelley says, “You have come up 

with a question to make us ponder. 

Thank you. My ideal age was 63. 

That began my retirement from the 

job which I had loved, teaching. A 

new world stretched before me. Now 

I could decide each day what I would 

do with my time. Thirteen years 

have elapsed full of faith, family, and 

friends.” ¶ Jacqui Cyr Lewis chimes 

in that she’d like to be 40: “At that 

point you have some maturity. You 

are your own woman; you’re secure 

in your own skin. Childbearing was 

done. I had a much better view of 

what made people tick. I was more 

tolerant of people’s differences.” ¶ 

Peg Vincent Kelley believes it’s late 

50s, early 60s. “By then the kids were 

on their own, Jim was alive, and we 

were both healthy and living the good 

life.” ¶ This is our column. If you have 

any news or ideas for new questions, 

please don’t hesitate to email me or

presence was seen in Naples, 

FL, this winter. Pat Limerick 

Skelly, Carole Settana Scollins, 

Mary Keenan, and I were able 

to attend the Annual Alumni 

Reception at The Pelican 

Bay Club. A large contingent 

from President Mary Jane 

England’s 50th Reunion Class 

was also in attendance. Many of them 

had ridden on the “Regis Trolley” 

in the St. Patrick’s Day Parade the 

day before. Should we join them 

next year? ¶ Mary Keenan, Carole

our annual luncheon. Hope we can 

expand the group next year. ¶ Candy

Baby Elizabeth was born on July 2 to

attract many of our classmates. In 

between working and playing golf, Pat 

Kelley was planning a cruise in Oct. 

This fabulous 18-day trip was to originate 

in Rome and end in Istanbul. 

Sounds very exotic! Pat enjoyed an 

Aug. visit from Laurie Pickett Pinover 

and husband Stan, who were in 

town with their grandson while he 

interviewed at Boston area colleges. 

¶ Mary Lou Rawson is putting on her 

traveling shoes for an Oct. trip to

in Sept., planning to spend most of 

the time in Istanbul. In Oct.some of 

their work in acrylic painting will be 

included in an exhibit at the Encino 

Festival of Art. Carl and Mary are in 

their 5th semester of acrylic painting. 

Mary continues to conduct 2 programs 

at Holy Spirit Retreat Center: Women 

at the Well, a group that meets 

monthly for liturgy and small group 

discussions centered on spirituality; 

and her favorite, Crones at the 

Well, which celebrates our aging and 

experiences and gathers wisdom to 

pass down to our younger generations 

of women. What do you do in your 

spare time, Mary? ¶ Marie Vasaturo 

White was planning a trip to London 

in Aug. Her twin granddaughters will 

be graduating from Mount Holyoke 

the same weekend as our Reunion in

in July. Our prayers are with John 

for a speedy recovery. Mary Jeanne, 

the self-described “energizer bunny,”

proud of all that she has accomplished 

for the college during her tenure. She 

will truly be missed. ¶ Carol Hughes 

Hickey, Mary Keenan, and I were the 

only members of our class attending 

a delightful Cape Cod luncheon in 

July. Carol, who lives in Cotuit now, 

was enjoying a visit from her son and 

his family, vacationing with her from 

Africa, where he works for the U.S. 

government. ¶ On a personal note I 

had a wonderful visit with Dorothy 

Harrington Winrow in Aug. Dottie was 

on the Cape with 18 of her family,

together for an extended vacation. 

It was such a pleasure to meet them 

and to spend time with Dottie renewing 

our friendship of so many years. 

She has given up her office in New 

York City but continues her practice 

of family therapy in her Kingston, 

NY, area, a career she began while 

raising 5 children. ¶ By now you have

Pyne Kaneb hosted a party for our 

class at her Surfbreak home to honor 

outgoing Regis president Mary Jane 

England ’59. The surf must have been 

breaking that stormy night. But it 

was fitting to honor the woman who 

most likely saved Regis. Imagine if 

there was no Regis; we would not 

have a center to meet for such events 

as our fourth Golden Tower Luncheon.

looking forward to a family trip to 

the Berkshires to see her grandson 

perform at Jacob’s Pillow. It has been 

enjoyable following this young man’s 

growth from his days as a boy performing 

in the Nutcracker in Boston. 

Rosemary’s son was to race in the 

Pan Mass Challenge to Provincetown. 

And in California, Milda Jasins still 

is involved in gym. Not as much she 

emailed, but she still believes keeping 

fit keeps the years away. Pat also 

believes in this, so she must keep 

her travel mate on the go. They did 

miss the Paris trip I wrote about in 

the last column due to some unusual 

happenings in Iceland. I think you 

can guess its French connection. ¶ 

Carol Hurd Green keeps mentally fit by 

teaching a course at Boston College. 

S. Caritas Geary helps many people 

to keep in good health through her 

award-winning role in health care. At 

present she is vice-president of the 

Sisters of Providence. It is too bad 

that Mac Hanlon O’Leary, who had to 

spend several months in a nursing 

home this past year for leg problems, 

did not have the care that S. Caritas 

has given. Reports of the good life 

come from both sides of the country. 

Gloria Ricker Gramaglia finds living 

in “Vacationland” an attraction for 

her 5 children. She and her husband 

find the winter, with its cross-country 

skiing, a wonderland. Still loving ME 

as they do, they still like to travel to 

cool climates. Next trip is to Denmark 

and St. Petersburg, bypassing the 

fires of Moscow. ¶ On the other end 

of the continent, Theresa Silvia Smith 

also reports on the good life. She has 

3 successful children, including a 

daughter who is a lawyer. She and 

her husband love to travel and have 

been everywhere except China and 

Australia. Right now she could use 

some of that ME cool air because Aug. 

is the hottest month in southern CA 

(which is when I am writing this, 

although you will read this months 

later). ¶ Elly Burke knows that I use 

mystery novels as a way of exercising 

the brain. So she enthusiastically 

advised me to see the film The Girl 

with the Dragon Tattoo. Some 2,000 

pages of Stieg Larson’s Millennium 

Trilogy later, I finally saw the film. 

It certainly does keep one thinking. 

¶ Sad news from California was the 

death of Jack Doyle, Elly Zee’s husband. 

He was a wonderful, charming

our president, Lou Berube Williams, 

who dropped in from NY for lunch! If 

you haven’t attended this event in the 

past, be sure to mark your calendar 

for next year, on May 20, 2011. It is a 

marvelous party, always held on the 

Friday of Reunion Weekend. ¶ The 

next Regis gathering, held in July, 

was a Sunday afternoon cruise on the 

Cape Cod Canal, with a wonderful 

jazz band playing en route. George 

and Dottie Hennessey, Paul and Pat 

McNulty, Tom and Mary Reynolds 

Kennedy, and Joan Kenney and Kay 

Rosicky Devlin enjoyed the sun and 

fun. ¶ Two weeks later a full table 

assembled at the Coonamessett 

Inn for the Annual Regis Cape Cod 

Summer Luncheon. Paula Buckley, 

Carole Clark, Kay Devlin, Pat 

Hillmer, Mary Kennedy, Joan Kenney, 

Pat McNulty, and Mary Jo Kilmain 

enjoyed the festivities and were 

heartened by the positive statistics 

regarding enrollment and finances 

that President England shared 

with the group. ¶ Fiftieth wedding 

anniversaries were celebrated by 2 of 

our classmates. In July, the family of 

Jean Paul and Mary Downing Richard 

organized a celebration that included 

a renewal of vows. Cathy Crosby 

Thompson and Maureen O’Connor 

Fitzgerald were able to attend. Also in 

July, the children of Paul and Lea Toto 

Dmytryck surprised them with a family 

party, held a month before their 

actual anniversary to throw them off 

track. Lea reports that it was the biggest 

surprise of her life, and a grand 

time was had by all. ¶ Classmates

Paula Kirby Macione reports on some 

of our classmates’ travels. Frankie 

Boyle Nugent spent a week in Chicago 

at a conference for victims of sexual 

abuse; Frankie is a coordinator in this 

field. Vacation trips included Donna 

Young and family enjoying a week in 

Aug. at a ranch in CO; Peggy Mosher 

Melanson traveling from VA to NJ; and 

Maureen Fitzgerald from NH to CO, 

both to visit grandchildren. Maureen 

also met up with Paula in Palm 

Beach Gardens, FL, during Super 

Bowl Week. Carole and Paul Clark 

enjoyed a vacation in Williamstown 

that included the Degas and Picasso 

exhibit at the Clark Museum. Paula 

Buckley was in Germany in Apr. and 

PA in Aug., and in between hosted 

a huge 4th of July bash that Paula 

M. attended. Highlights of the day 

were a wonderful country fair and 

great music by the Marshfield School 

Bands. ¶ Paula thanks her Regis 

classmates for their loyalty in attending 

services for her beloved aunt, 

Mary Doyle O’Connor, who passed 

away in Aug. at the age of 93½.

saddened to hear this summer of the 

passing of our classmate Maryann

Maryann had been living in AZ for 

many years. At Regis she was a

REGIS TODAY 

taking part in the “Derby Pool” were 

Judy, Peggy Harney Morrissey, Marie 

Cronin, Maureen O’Connell Palmer, 

Anne LaFay Flamand, Trisha O’Hearn 

Hilsinger, Janice Canniff Monteith, and 

Liz Russell Bilafer. The big winner 

this year was Trisha. A trip to the 

Herring Run in Brewster, MA, was 

disappointing. We thought we were in 

time but unfortunately missed it by a 

week. We did see one lonely straggler. 

¶ Ann Tiernan, who wrote us from her 

new home in the Smoky Mountain 

area of NC, has had some recent 

sadness. Our sympathy to Ann on the 

loss of her 2 sisters and her partner. 

Ann recently had a hip replacement 

but manages to keep herself quite 

active—camping in the Southwest 

and taking courses at UNCA. She 

also sends a message: “Aging is a 

delightful opportunity to expand—in 

so many ways.” ¶ Congratulations 

to Maureen Palmer on the birth of 

her new grandson. Welcome, Jack 

Palmer! ¶ The monthly luncheons 

have been well attended: Venezia in 

Dorchester, MA, Tom Shea’s in Essex, 

MA, Beacon Grill in Woburn, MA, 

and of course the delightful June 

lunch at Mary Jane England’s home on 

Green Pond in Falmouth, MA. ¶ The 

Annual Cape Cod Luncheon was held 

this year at the Coonamessett Inn in 

Falmouth, MA. As always, our class 

was well represented with 2 tables 

of ’59ers: Brenda Meade Doherty, 

Fran Kopka Parsons, Edna Soraghan 

English, Carol Donovan, Margaret 

O’Connell, Sherry Furlott Blanchard, 

Kay O’Connor Johnson, Barbara O’Neil 

Natale, Marilyn Lombardi Nicholas, 

Joanne Myers, Mary Jane England, 

Maureen O’Connell Palmer, Janice 

Canniff Monteith and Jane Darney 

Beauchemin. ¶ Jane Beauchemin, who 

was coming along so well after many 

months in and out of the hospital, 

fell at her home just a week after 

the Cape Luncheon. She broke her 

hip and was back in the hospital 

and rehab again. ¶ A couple of book 

suggestions from Liz and Maureen: 

Sarah’s Key, by Tatiana deRosnay, 

and The Forgotten Garden, by Kate 

Morton. ¶ Regis celebrated St. 

Patrick’s Day in fine style and the 

Class of 1959 made a great presence. 

Have you ever been to the St. 

Patrick’s Day Parade in Naples, FL? 

Forty thousand joyous folks lined the 

street to cheer us on. One man even 

hollered out, “I think I dated all of 

you!” Perhaps he did. Some ’59ers 

walked the route, and others rode the 

Regis Trolley. The night before the 

parade Jeannette Duffy Hartigan and 

her husband, Dick, graciously hosted 

a cocktail party for the ’59ers at their 

beautiful penthouse overlooking the 

Gulf of Mexico. On Sunday Regis held 

a luncheon at the Club Pelican Bay. 

What a fabulous weekend! Enjoying 

the festivities during the 

weekend were Barbara O’Neil 

Natale, Liz Russell Bilafer, 

Carol Donovan, Audrey Bowen 

Criado, Marilyn Lombardi 

Nicholas, Margie Finn Morich, 

Rita Noonan Griffin, Maureen

Monteith, Jeannette Duffy 

Hartigan, and Mary Jane 

England. Margaret Sullivan 

Schlueter, who has a home on 

Marco Island, attended the 

luncheon on Sunday. Everyone 

is looking forward to the next 

parade in Naples. The parade is 

March 12, 2011, so get on your 

walking shoes and come down 

and join the fun. ¶ Our next 

report will not be coming to you until

about THE Reunion: A MARVELOUS 

TIME. Altogether there were about 

74 attendees from our class during 

the various activities. Now we are 

all members of the GOLDEN TOWER 

SOCIETY and are eligible for the 

Golden Tower Luncheons along with 

all the other 50-plus-year graduates. 

¶ New class representatives for the 

next 5 years are Catherine (Kay) Keane 

Memory, President; Ann Hynes, Class 

Fund Agent; me, Class Reporter; 

Geraldine Pucci Hayes, West Coast 

Liaison. Since we have many class 

members in FL and the Southeast, 

perhaps we can have a liaison from 

there. Email me if you are interested! 

The objective is to stay in touch, 

perhaps have some get-togethers, and 

continue the communications and 

bonding that began in college days 

and is renewed at Reunion and other 

gatherings. ¶ What do we remember 

from Reunion? The weekend 

began with a most moving Liturgy 

when a rose was placed on the 

altar in memory of the 27 deceased 

members of our class. The music of 

the Alumnae Chorus was wonderful, 

and how inspiring to have our 

classmates Anne McIsaac Sullivan and 

Clare Mullahy Mungovan as chorus 

members, along with Ann’s daughter, 

Eileen Sullivan ’85. ¶ Our condolences 

go to Louise McMurray Wishneski, 

whose husband, Larry, died on Apr. 

7 after a 7-year illness. Kay Memory 

remembered Nancy Sheehan when she 

invited some of the Psych Ed majors 

to prep for the Boston Teachers Exam 

at her home in West Roxbury, MA. 

A Reminder 

Class Notes for the Spring 2011 issue are 

due January 12, 2011; each class limited to 

1,000 words. 

You are invited to submit articles and news that 

are of interest to your classmates. If you know of 

any alum who would make an interesting profile 

subject, please let us know that, too. News 

may be submitted to your class reporter or to 

the Office of Alumni Relations, Regis College, 

235 Wellesley St., Weston, MA 02493 or email: 

alumni@regiscollege.edu. Notes received after 

January 12, 2011 will run in a later issue. 

“We practiced with the tests given in 

previous years, and all of us passed!” 

Our thoughts and prayers are with 

Nancy now as she faces serious and 

very unexpected medical issues. Her 

help and enthusiasm during the planning 

sessions of our class Reunion 

committee was much appreciated. 

¶ Joyce Kennerly Bohan found that 

part of the fun was discovering that 

classmates were the “same people 

with the same pleasant personalities 

that I remember from 50 years ago.” 

“It was very easy to slip right back 

in sync,” she said. ¶ “It seemed to me 

that although the Regis we knew has 

changed, it still remains a part of us 

all in so many ways.” Anne McIsaac 

Sullivan reported, “My favorite time 

was Friday night when everyone 

just relaxed. What was more amazing 

was to see classmates that we 

hadn’t seen or spoken to in 50 years 

and to catch up with their lives.” Kay 

Memory noted, “The stories about 

‘the way we were’ were so interesting! 

Having to wear a trench coat 

over our gym suits when going to the 

playing fields, the black lace mantillas 

required for chapel, dressing for 

dinner in the dining room, rushing 

back from a night out by 10 p.m. so 

as to not receive a demerit, etc.” ¶ 

Maria Migliorini Bonaventura has now 

retired from a rewarding career as a 

professor at Suffolk University. Carole 

Riordan Ressler, who worked for a 

while at Regis, is now an attorney. 

Marcelle Lamoureux Connare looked 

the same as she did in her Regis days. 

She still lives in NH and proudly 

introduced her husband, to whom she 

was recently married. ¶ Eileen Smith 

Dragula made the long trip from CA, 

where she and her Marine husband 

settled to raise their family. Gerri 

Pucci Hayes also came from CA, 

where she lives an active life of with 

much singing and concert going. ¶ 

One item of great joy was the smiling 

expression from Mary Jane Doherty 

Curran as she announced quietly that

she would be married on Aug. 1. A 

“surprise shower” for Mary Jane was 

held in Maria Hall late on Saturday 

night. The gifts were “unique,” the 

laughter outrageous. Good wishes 

flowed. It was hard to determine 

who had more fun, Mary Jane or 

those who planned and pulled off the 

surprise. On Aug. 1, Mary Jane and 

Donald Cameron (her fine, handsome 

Scot) tied the knot in Orleans. They 

danced, Donald wearing the Cameron 

kilt and MJ with his tartan scarf over 

her shoulder, and celebrated at the 

old boathouse on Wellfleet Harbor 

among family and friends. Brenda 

McCrann and Pat Kiley Murray were 

there. MJ’s only regrets were that 

all her Regis classmates couldn’t have 

been included. ¶ The Saturday night 

lobsterbake was memorable in many 

ways: the tent at the Tower Gardens, 

the plastic utensils augmented by 

bricks to open the claws, the fun 

atmosphere, and the band! Dancing 

and more dancing, even with the 

“young waiters” from the food service! 

But June Higgins Twinam truly set 

the pace with her amazing moves. A 

fitting end to a wonderful weekend. 

¶ Since then, I met with Ann Marie 

Volante O’Neill after her trip to France 

and further purchases of the Quimper 

pottery which she represents in the 

U.S., and with Marilyn Stasio, who 

enjoyed her 2 weeks in Truro on the 

Cape. Amazingly, Marilyn does not 

drive and manages to get around just 

fine. She recalled a statement from 

the 25th Anniversary grads as they 

visited in the dorm Saturday night: 

“We’ve been dying to meet the girls 

from the sixties generation.” To which 

Marilyn added, “What fun to wave the 

banner for our revolutionary generation.” 

¶ The column cannot be complete 

without a thank you, gracias, to 

Winnie Murphy and Brenda McCrann, 

who saw to the refreshments in the 

lounge. From coffee to sodas to other 

libations, we were all well cared for. 

Thank you again. ¶ Also, Angela Regis 

Kravchuk just completed a 2-year volunteer 

job as co-chair of the Bayberry 

Quilt Guild Quilt Show, which is the 

major event sponsored by the guild 

on Cape Cod. ¶ If you have read this

¶ I am writing this in Aug. and 

thinking that 53 years ago we were 

preparing to begin our freshman year 

at Regis with all the expectations 

and anxieties that still accompany 

such a momentous occasion in one’s 

life. For most of us our years at Regis 

proved to be personally and intellectually 

fulfilling, as well as a lot of 

fun. By now I hope you have received 

material about our 50th Reunion in 

May of 2011 and plan to come to some 

or all of the activities. Many groups 

of classmates have mini reunions, 

and one of the annual reunions takes 

place around St. Patrick’s Day in 

Naples, FL, where a Regis contingent 

marches/rides in the parade. ¶ Our 

classmate Judy Wilson Sullivan hosts 

a dinner party for a large group. 

This year Eileen Cannon showed up 

a week early at Ellie Donahue Foley’s 

looking for the parade and party. All 

of Eileen’s friends are SHOCKED by 

such a rare mistake! ¶ Judith Powers 

retired from the Nantucket school 

system, sold her house, moved to 

Long Island to live with her sister, 

and is traveling all over the country 

and beyond having a wonderful time.

starlit subtropical Aug. evening of 

gentle trade winds, I am counting my 

blessings: this summer has included 

a visit with warm “welcome back’s” 

to New England—where the weather 

of that temperate zone was hotter 

than you-know-what. Life’s ironies, 

hmm? ¶ Our Alumni Office knew I 

would be at the Cape Cod Luncheon,

Mary McCauley Higgins, and Sue 

Donnelly Riley did not. What fun to 

surprise them at Coonamessett Inn, 

where Carrol Beegan Follas ’61 (who 

preceded me on The Lay Apostolate) 

joined us at our table—with an album 

from her and her ’61 classmate’s 

visit to Maui and me in the spring. ¶ 

Before the eats and program, I shared 

a hug with Carole Kennedy Nassab’s 

sister, Christina Kennedy McCann 

’60 (who reported that all Nassabs 

are well). Then we of ’62 and others 

enjoyed the lunch and speaker 

before the 4 of us adjourned 

to Sue’s to do some planning 

for our 50th in 2012. Also 

caught a hug with Joan’s 

husband, John—and a little 

reminiscing regarding their 

and their children’s visit to 

Maui some years ago and 

mine to their Falmouth 

spot in 2005. All shared 

happy family, volunteer, 

career, and retirement news!

she has been enjoying retirement 

from Concord Carlisle High School 

these last few years. She is on the 

Concord Carlisle Scholarship Board, 

which raises scholarship money 

for high school graduates entering 

accredited academic institutions. She 

is also a member of Communities for

and making restitution, thus avoiding

are indeed a concerned citizen! ¶ Jane 

DeMarco Wittreich and her husband, 

George, spent 2 weeks this past 

spring journeying through France 

visiting lesser-known villages and 

towns. Jane delighted in conversing 

in French with the local folk, while 

George enjoyed using the vocabulary 

and phrases that he had recently 

mastered during his crash course 

on Rosetta Stone. ¶ I, Jane O’Hearn 

Leger, have had a good summer. I 

do one third helping with child care, 

mostly camp drop-offs and pickups. 

Another third is volunteer work: I 

help at a local food pantry run by our 

diocese. There are several Haitian 

families who come in. Some are 

newcomers to the U.S. and have survived 

the earthquake. They are so 

resilient and strong; I have learned 

a lot from them. The last third has 

been fun activity. I took up golf upon 

retirement. Do not try this at home 

as it may be harmful to your mental 

health! It gets pretty ugly, but I figure 

I have earned the right to be awful.

1983, but I have continued my profession 

in education. I taught English as 

a second language to French-speaking

I obtained my master’s degree in 

English literature at the University 

of Ottawa. In 1978, I received my 

master’s degree in Education from 

the U Ottawa, with a major in School 

Counseling. I was a school counselor 

for 6 years, after which I became 

school superintendent for a Sschool 

district in the northern part of the

different areas of education: teaching 

and, especially during the last 7 

years, doing administrative work for 

the schools. ¶ I am now fully ‘retired,’

activities which I enjoy: new volunteer 

work with the Archdiocese in the 

field of translation, French to English 

and vice versa, and recently with the 

new project focusing on prevention

was great to catch up on everyone’s 

careers, retirements, and families. ¶ 

I, Virginia McNeil Slep, have retired 

from teaching English and am now 

devoting my time to expanding my 

private practice in clinical hypnosis. 

I’m working with a number of doctors 

and therapists in the Boston area and 

running hypnosis groups at several 

schools, colleges, and hospitals. I’m 

also really enjoying taking classes 

at Regis, in the Lifelong Learning 

at Regis College program. It’s such 

fun to be a student at Regis again, 

and even more fun since there are 

no exams, no papers, and no grades. 

Last year I took Creative Writing 

and Latin Etymology; this fall I’m 

taking more Creative Writing and a 

course in the Culture of India. If you 

live near Regis, this is a wonderful 

program to become involved in. My 

husband, Gary, and I spend a bit of 

time traveling to NC these days, since 

both our sons and their families live 

there now. Brian and his family are in 

Charlotte, and Kevin and his family 

are in Durham. ¶ Our 50th Reunion is

we’d like to have a large table with 

memorabilia from our Regis years. So

please, when you’re cleaning out your 

attics and cellars, don’t throw away 

anything that we could put on display. 

Save that old freshman beanie and 

the maroon gym suit and anything 

else you think we could use. In addition,

Reunion dinner. It’s always wonderful 

to see old friends, and it’s a special 

treat when one of our classmates 

comes for the first time in decades— 

or the first time ever!! Our class has 

evolved into a wonderfully caring, 

compassionate, supportive group of

net ¶ In July, we had a great turnout 

of about 12 from our class at the Cape 

Luncheon. The big news is that Kathi 

McCaffrey Ford was the winner of the 

raffle of the original work of art by our 

classmate and world-renowned artist 

Carol Jewell Hunt. Kathi was ecstatic! 

Thank you, Carol, for your very 

generous donation of Lotus 5. Also 

want to thank Barbara Doran Sullivan 

and Marie Shatos for all their efforts 

selling the raffle tickets at the event. 

The raffle brought in an additional 

$2,000 towards our 50th Reunion 

class gift. The Regis College Class of 

1965 Fund was started at our 40th 

Reunion to fund our 50th Reunion gift 

to Regis. There are only 5 years left! 

Donations to the Regis College Class 

of 1965 Fund can be sent to Carole 

Groncki McCarthy at 151 Flint Locke 

Drive, Duxbury, MA 02332. ¶ A fabulous 

time was had by all at our 45th 

Reunion this past May. The Friday 

night dinner was well attended, with 

about 30 of our classmates gathered 

in the faculty dining room at Alumnae 

Hall. Mary Lou Burke Stewart was a 

welcome sight for those of us who 

have not seen her for a while. Janet 

White Case will be moving to VA this 

fall ,so we will miss her at our Boston 

gatherings, but she hopes to make 

contact with classmates in the DC 

area. Saturday of the Reunion was 

a very special day for our class, with 

over 40 classmates attending some or 

all of the events. In the morning the 

2nd annual Barbara Kelleher Hyland 

(BKH) lecture was given in the Foyer 

by Dr. Carol Hardy-Fanta, Director 

of the Center for Women in Politics 

and Public Policy at UMass Boston’s 

graduate school. Joanne Massey Howes 

gave a beautiful tribute to Barbara, 

including a video put together by 

Patricia McCarthy Jacquart and others 

that introduced the program. 

After the lecture, we all joined the 

Parade of Classes into the Alumni 

Luncheon with our special roses 

provided by the Reunion committee. 

At the luncheon our class was 

honored for giving the 3rd largest 

class gift to the college from the 

Reunion classes, $34,365, just $2,000 

shy of 2nd place. Our class meeting 

included a talk by Naomie Lebon, 

first recipient of the BKH internship 

scholarship. She told us about 

her internship program at American 

University, including her travels to 

Syria, Egypt, and Jordan. Also at the 

alumni luncheon, Joanne Massey 

Howes was presented with the 2009 

Regis College Excellence Award for 

her leadership in establishing the 

BKH Internship Program and Lecture 

series at Regis. Donations to the BKH 

Internship and Lecture Series can be 

sent to Regis College; designate the 

gift for the BKH Program. ¶ Class 

officers were elected: President, Kathy 

Moynihan McGovern; Vice President, 

Joanne Massey Howes; Secretary, Pat 

Gaumond Kasierski; Treasurer, Mary 

Ellen Lavenberg; Class Reporters, 

Kathi McCaffrey Ford and Joanne 

Massey Howes, Fund Agent, Carole 

Groncki McCarthy. Congratulations 

to all and thank you for all you do 

for the Class of 1965. ¶ Saturday 

night of Reunion included a fantastic 

clambake and band under a tent at 

Norman Tower. Barbara Milner Elwood 

and Lisa Brown Kane danced up a 

storm with the waitstaff, rumored to 

be students at Regis, male students 

at that! The lobsters were great and 

the music terrific. All of us who where 

there are looking forward to the same 

event at our 50th and hope more of 

our class can join in the fun. Special 

thanks to the Reunion committee, 

Pat Gaumond Kasierski, Deirdre 

Casey, Sharon Gibbons Reardon, Mel 

Lavenberg, Anne Marie Fontaine 

Healey for a job well done! ¶ Our condolences 

go out to Pam Dubzinski Bent 

on the loss of her mom, and to Mary 

Louise Howe Gleason on the loss of 

her mother-in-law. Our thoughts and 

prayers are with you. ¶ Other news: 

Congratulations to Kathy Moynihan 

McGovern for not only being elected 

President of our class but also 

being elected to the Regis Alumni 

Association Board of Directors. Carole 

Groncki McCarthy and Sally Daily 

Buckler will be getting together in 

Maryland this fall with Judy Fallon 

Niner and, we hope, others from our 

class. Anne Marie Fontaine Healey 

and Kathy Henighan had a great trip 

to northern India in Feb. Anne Marie 

is a superb photographer, and Kathy 

has a memory for all the details of 

the trip, so the two together had a 

great travel adventure that they 

shared at Reunion. There is a cruise 

to Bermuda from Boston in May 

2011, sponsored by the Regis College 

Alumni Association. It looks like we 

may have a large contingent from our 

class going. Check it out on the Regis 

website and sign up early. It should 

be a fun cruise! ¶ Lunch at Isaac’s 

Restaurant in Plymouth, MA, on 

Sept. 14 was great. We had a chance 

to catch up again and get an update

19 nieces and nephews and 19 greatnieces 

and great-nephews! She had 

been an executive at Sungard. Her 

husband, Lawson Gunn, predeceased 

her. ¶ Most of the news we received 

these past few months has been 

reflections about our professor, friend, 

and late college president Sister 

Therese Higgins. ¶ Marlena Belviso 

Santomero said, “I knew her as Sister 

Saint Theresa, and I always looked 

forward to her lectures on metaphysical 

poetry. She was an extremely fine 

professor, and like the subject matter 

she discussed, her classes were 

creative, thought-provoking, well 

structured, and witty. Although it 

was evident that she was comfortable 

in the world of Donne, Marvell, and 

Vaughan, it was equally obvious that 

she was a strong, capable woman of 

the modern era. I was proud to have 

majored in English, and I suspect 

that the path I followed after graduation 

was very much influenced by 

class notes

this exceptional woman.” ¶ Barbara 

Bouchard Haggerty, who sang at the 

services, said, “The several eulogies 

by friends and family were indeed 

very moving. The Alumnae Chorus 

sang ‘Holy Ground,’ which was the 

hymn requested by St. T. at the Fine 

Arts Center groundbreaking. It was 

one of her favorites.” ¶ Nancy Brine 

Frederickson was also present and 

said, “Sister Therese was always a 

source of strength and encouragement 

for many of us. She would want 

us to follow in her footsteps and 

help one another.” ¶ Adrienne Butler 

was prompted to write and recall 

some very happy times at Regis. 

“As a chemistry major, I never had 

the chance to have Sr. St. T in class, 

although I was very aware of how 

beloved she was by her students, 

especially her English majors. What 

is amazing to me to read and think 

about, is how much she shaped the 

lives of our class at a time when the 

women’s movement was only beginning. 

How many different paths we 

have taken! What an interesting journey 

it has been! And weren’t we fortunate 

to be in that place, at that time, 

with such strong women to mentor 

us! Looking back from the perspective 

of retirement, I am amazed that 

I was privileged to be there during 

such a remarkable era. Thank you 

Sister Therese, and all of the wonderful 

women of Regis!” ¶ Mary Beth 

Cormier said, “After reading all the 

remembrances … and yes, the Boston 

Globe article was wonderful, I had 

to add my memories of Sister. My 

background was not firmly planted 

in English Lit, although through the 

Sisters of Notre Dame de Namur I 

had a good base in Shakespeare, the 

Iliad, the Odyssey, Cicero, Caesar, 

etc. As a math major and then economics 

major, I was lucky enough to 

have Sr. Therese in English freshman 

year. I was having difficulty understanding 

and interpreting Sartre 

and Chekov, and probably at that 

point had no idea who John Donne 

was. I made an appointment to see 

Sr. and told her of my difficulties in 

her class, as if she didn’t know! She 

sat and talked, asked me if I liked to 

read modern novels, and I told her I 

seemed to like John O’Hara paperback 

novels. She told me to continue 

reading him, add John Steinbeck to 

my list, and pick up anything I might 

like for my own enjoyment. Through 

her, over a period of years, I became 

a voracious reader. Still haven’t read 

John Donne, or maybe I have and 

don’t know it. My career path took 

me from being a high school math 

teacher, a MOM, and I have been 

working in libraries for the past 20 

some-odd years. Because I see so 

many readers in a day, I’m often 

asked what to read next. I also see 

the homeless reading James Joyce, 

U.S. Civil Code, Bloom’s criticisms 

of major works. Sr. Therese Higgins 

led me on this path. I never realized 

how important she was/is in my life, 

and sadly, I never told her. Through 

her and her love of English, I have 

had an education that has brought 

me to meeting new people each day, 

people of all walks of life, and that 

has enriched my life. I will think of 

her as I help those on the other side 

of the desk.” ¶ We also had secondhand 

reports from the Regis phone 

bank, which are wonderful to pass 

along. Mary Leviness Jones is still 

living on Long Island and spends her 

time with her many grandchildren. 

Maybe she’ll be able to join us for the 

next Reunion. Tina Wende Knoll has 

2 grandchildren and keeps busy with 

her store. ¶ Kathy McFarland Kelly’s 

son has just made her a grandmother 

for the second time. ¶ Last but not 

least, Pat Grosz Korzendorfer is continuing 

her life with illness and is an 

inspiration to all. She has persevered 

throughout her diagnosis and treatments 

and has remained funny and 

positive. In her reports about chemo, 

clinical trials, radiation, tumors, and 

more consultations, Pat’s musings 

are, “I’m going to glow in the dark 

pretty soon! I should be popular at 

Halloween!” Pat’s son, daughter, and 

granddaughter are all doing well. 

Perhaps the lesson learned is that we 

are likely to remain the same 40 and 

45 years later as we were as college 

students, as we can all close our eyes 

and see and hear Pat as a teenager 

with a constant smile and laugh. ¶

The last issue of Regis Today was 

excellent. I so enjoyed reading about 

Sister Therese Higgins ’47. Although 

it was a sad time, it was a celebration 

of her life. She was truly a shining 

star, and I’m sure we, as a class, 

have fond memories of Sister Therese 

before she became president of Regis 

College. I think I still have a photo 

of Sister playing softball during one 

of the college picnics at the athletic 

field in the days before the change to 

street clothes. She left an impression 

on us all. ¶ I guess you could say I’m 

semiretired again. (I’ll get this right 

someday!) I’m more retired than not 

but still go in to work when needed.

a 21-day trip to Europe, celebrating 

our 40th wedding anniversary. 

We are staying in Rome, going on 

a cruise of the Mediterranean, and 

then staying at a villa in Tuscany. 

I have tried to learn Italian but so 

far have only covered the basics. I’ll 

try to report on our trip next time. 

¶ I received a lengthy email from 

Christine Curran Brandt. She retired 

after 38 years in education, the last 

18 years as a school principal. After 

only 6 months of retirement Christine 

started her second career as a school 

reviewer for a local company as well 

as for the Department of Elementary 

and Secondary Education. Christine 

works with small teams inspecting 

charter schools in MI, NY, and MA, 

as well as traditional schools in MA. 

She has had the opportunity to work 

in Dubai, U.A.E., with the ministry in 

private and public schools. On a personal 

note, Christine married Jerry 

Peek after the death of her first husband, 

Rick, and gained two stepchildren. 

¶ I’m afraid that’s all I have to 

report this go-round. Please send me 

some information! I can only report 

the information I get. You must have 

something to share. We are all busy 

with a variety of interests. Some of us 

are still actively employed, and some 

are enjoying our retirement years. 

Have a second career? Traveling? 

Babysitting for grandkids? I would 

love to hear from you. Take a minute

about her travels to Jamaica the 

week before the troubles erupted, 

speaking of the beauty of the country 

and warmth of the people. She 

did manage to drive through the 

affected neighborhoods and said the

Walgreens, just transferred from 

Portland, OR, to Portland, ME. ¶ Last

trip to Canada to research 

family history, meet distant 

cousins, and visit the farm 

once owned by her great-grandfather 

after he immigrated to Canada from 

Ireland in the 1800’s. Anyone who 

has done any genealogy knows how 

emotional it can be to stand on the 

same ground as family that came 

before us. Her research continues, 

but life went back to reality in Sept. 

with the start of a new job teaching 

French at Whittier Voc. Tech in 

her hometown of Haverhill. Kathy’s 

husband and sons are all doing

younger and getting his master’s at

Pamela Sampson Manozzi contributes 

that she is employed part time as 

a case manager for the Natick Service 

Council, having finished her MSW in 

2007 at Salem State School of Social 

Work. She has 2 grandchildren in 

Natick: Brandon, age 5, and Molly, 

age 2, who are wonderfully vibrant 

and who keep her very busy. ¶ Jane 

M. LaBarbera celebrated 35 years of 

marriage to Stephen Murphy, whom 

she was dating at Regis. They have 

3 children between the ages of 25 

and 28: Philip, Andrew, and Sarah. 

Jane says she is very fortunate 

in that her job is challenging and 

always interesting, which fits her 

personality. She is managing both the 

Association of American Law Schools 

and an International Association of 

law schools in Washington, DC, and is 

fortunate that she is never bored with 

her personal life or in her career.

¶ Mary McAvoy is a newly published 

author! We were delighted to hear 

from her. This is what she had to 

share: ¶ “I am a member of the Regis 

College Class of 1977. 

I came into Regis as a 

transfer student during 

our junior year. While 

I didn’t stumble into 

friendships with mem- 

bers of my own class, 

I am still close friends 

with a group of women 

(6 of us) who were in 

the classes of 1978 and 

1979. We try to get 

together at least once a 

year for a weekend. ¶ I 

always scan the Class 

of ’77 notes and then 

read on through the ’78 

and ’79 notes. Now and 

then I’ll see news about 

someone I remember. ¶ 

This letter is sent in the 

event you might want to 

record in the ’77 notes 

that I have recently published a book, 

Love’s Compass. I’ll share here bits 

of my journey to becoming a writer. 

¶ My major was one of the first, if 

not the first, ‘individually designed’ 

majors at Regis. It was a combination 

of English and the Classics, with 

a secondary focus on biology. I was 

grateful to Regis, and specifically 

Sr. Joan Murray, for encouraging 

me to follow my interests. ¶ I loved 

studying literature, philosophy, 

mythology, and science at Regis, and 

my teachers and class work left a 

lifelong impression on me. ¶ For the 

record, I’ll note that I was the first 

Regis student in memory at the time 

who removed the 3 tiny bones of a 

dissected cat’s ear (the anvil, the 

stapes, and the …?) with each bone 

fully intact! My teacher, whose name 

I can’t remember now, was one of the 

dearest women I’ve ever met. I loved 

her, and she had great affection for 

me, her ‘English Major’ as she called 

me—though the department itself 

was a bit peevish, as I recall, that a 

class notes 

65 

FALL 10

REGIS TODAY 

nonscience was mucking around their 

turf. She, however, fully appreciated 

my curious mind. She made a 

dramatic announcement to my fellow 

biology classmates (which did not 

endear me to them) when I removed 

the final ear bone during the dissection. 

And she preserved the bones 

in a jar as an example of exemplary 

work! ¶ After leaving Regis, I entered 

the workforce in an administrative 

capacity and was Senior Contract 

Administrator for NEC (then in 

Boxborough) when I left the workforce 

for 15 years to raise my 2 children. I 

also had begun taking courses toward 

an MBA at Babson when family life 

called me away from that, too. ¶ I 

returned to work at Oak Meadow 

Montessori School in Littleton, MA, 

when my children were older. After 

6 years, the last 2 as Director of 

Admission, I left Oak Meadow when 

life threw me an unexpected change. 

After 3 years of diminished energy 

and strength, I was diagnosed with 

fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue. ¶ 

By nature I’ve always been active. So, 

I immediately began to try to find a 

way to still be productive. I started a 

business, Syntax and Style, through 

which I offer content management 

websites to small businesses, and content 

writing and editing. I learned the 

craft as I went along. ¶ I also began 

fiction writing, hoping I could make 

a living at something that I could do 

when my energy and focus allowed. 

¶ My first book, Love’s Compass, is 

a timely tale—the story of a woman 

who finds herself in a marriage in 

which her husband has veered off 

their path, for no great reason—his 

life has just unfolded in a way other 

than hers. The story is an intimate 

look at her as she comes to the realization 

of her unexpected place in life 

after a long-term marriage, how she 

comes to terms with her new situation, 

and, ultimately, how she finds 

her footing. ¶ Love’s Compass is being 

received well. Book clubs find it to 

be a contemporary and thought-provoking 

look at love, marriage, family, 

and divorce in our time. Its reception 

is encouraging to me as I complete 

the writing of my second book, I’d 

Love You There Again. I have ideas 

sketched out for a 3rd and 4th book. ¶ 

My writing style is simple—short and 

direct sentences, simple word use. 

But what people tell me is that I have 

an uncanny ability to put into words 

things that they think about but could 

never express verbally. ¶ And many 

people identify with the characters— 

men and women alike. ¶ If you are 

interested, you can read more about it 

at www.lovescompass.com.” ¶ Thank 

you, Mary. It was great to hear about 

your new success! To the rest of the 

class of ’77, we’d love to hear from 

you, so please send news!

Hello, Class of ’85! ¶ Lots to 

talk about—starting with 

our Reunion! It was way too 

much fun for one weekend. 

We had nearly 50 classmates 

participate throughout the weekend, 

from the Friday night cocktail reception 

in the ’85 lounge (aka Domitilla) 

to the dinner at Morrison House to 

the post-dinner party back in the 

lounge. And for a bunch of mid-40’s 

women, we stayed up WAY too late 

chatting and laughing on Friday 

night. And yes, the dorms are exactly 

as we remembered them. Many common 

themes: kids, careers and career 

changes, family updates, births, 

marriages, passings, divorces—lots 

to catch up on after a few decades. 

It was amazing how easy it was to 

reconnect. Many new friendships as 

well—just a terrific time. Our class 

was well represented in the Parade 

of Classes on Saturday, and we have 

posted some pictures on our Reunion 

fan page on Facebook. The Alumnae 

Luncheon was great the next day, 

where several of our classmates 

led the group in singing our Alma 

Mater. Sheila Prichard was so glad 

to see some former RCGC members 

(including Lisa Dupuis and Janice 

Flynn) join the Alumnae Chorus at 

the mass on Saturday afternoon, and 

what a surprise to see Deirdre Fahey 

at the lobster dinner on Saturday 

night! She gets the prize for traveling 

the farthest. Melinda Powers gets 

the hop-skip-and-a-jump prize for 

coming all the way from Weston. Our 

classmate Holly Kendrick was in Iraq 

—she manages public relations for 

the army brass. Getting a direct flight 

from Baghdad to Boston was tough, 

so we’re hoping to see her at the next 

event! Kim Lewis had just had knee 

surgery but is now doing well, and 

we are looking forward to seeing 

her soon. When we see everyone in 

person, we’ll fill you in on the lobster 

dinner and post-dinner events. We 

can’t publicly disclose what actually 

happened. Let’s just say we let 

our hair down a bit with the 2005

Hello, classmates! ¶ Today was a 

perfect summer-weather day for New 

England, with no humidity! Mary 

McSoley Ohrn and her husband, Bob, 

were visiting the Boston area this 

week, so I spent the day with her 

family as well as Jen Oteri Sarrasin’s 

family visiting the Old North Bridge 

in Concord, MA. We had a picnic 

lunch with our 13 children: 5 Ohrns, 

4 Henehans, 4 Sarrasins. The kids 

had a ton of fun getting to know each 

other, which gave Mary, Jen, and me 

a little time to catch up. All in all, a 

fun day! The Ohrns and the Sarrasins 

have seen quite a bit of each other 

lately. Jen’s family visited Mary’s 

family in PA earlier this summer. 

¶ I had a chance to catch up with 

Barbara L’Heureux Murphy a couple 

of weeks ago over lunch. Barb has 

been working as an actuary for about 

16 years … could even be longer as 

we had so much to catch up on and 

so little time to discuss! She now 

works 3 days a week so that she can 

spend more time at home with her 

two daughters, Bridget and Caitlin. 

Barb was getting ready to take a 

family road trip to Myrtle Beach 

soon after we caught up. I guess you 

didn’t learn anything from our road 

trip to Florida, huh? I have also seen 

Moira Doherty Manning a few times 

over the summer, as we belong to 

the same boat club. Although neither 

of us has a boat, we like the swimming 

and fun factor for our kids, 

as well as the socializing! ¶ Terri

reports that she and her daughter, 

Abby, recently moved into a new 

house, which has been keeping them 

busy. Please keep them in your 

thoughts and prayers during this difficult 

time in their lives. ¶ I hope you 

all enjoy the remainder of 2010. I am 

off in a new direction, as I have not 

only reentered the workforce full time 

but also made a career change! I will 

be teaching preschool 3-year-olds at 

Evergreen Day School in Cambridge 

starting in Sept. My youngest enters 

kindergarten this year—another milestone 

for my family. ¶ Be well, and 

please keep in touch, as this column

great catching up with friends at our 

20th Reunion in May. Hopefully we’ll 

see more of you at our 25th! ¶ Anne 

Marie Walsh Salvon was busy over the 

summer, as she co-facilitated 2 online 

courses for iEARN: Adobe Youth 

Voices and a Fulbright online course. 

International Education and Resource 

Network (www.iearn.org) is the world’s 

largest nonprofit global network that 

enables teachers and youth to use the 

Internet and other technologies 

to collaborate on projects that 

enhance learning and make a 

difference in the world. iEARN 

has trained more than 100,000 

educators since it started in 

1988. Workshops are designed 

to cover the technical, collaborative, 

and organizational skills 

needed to participate fully in a 

global, collaborative Internetbased 

learning environment. 

¶ During the school year, Anne 

Marie teaches middle-schoolers 

the importance of understanding 

and embracing technology. 

¶ Margaret Pothier was recently 

promoted to Director of the Creative 

Writing Center at Northern Essex 

Community College and is enjoying 

her new post. ¶ We heard that 

Nancy McSweeney Pastore is heading 

Nationals in Tucson with her tennis 

team! Go, Nancy! ¶ Nancy Scott 

recently joined Ektron in Nashua, 

NH, a web-solutions company, as 

their Director of Public Relations. 

Nancy is living in Georgetown, MA. 

¶ We heard from Kerry Ann Munroe 

Madden, who has had a terrific 

year with Pampered Chef and has 

earned many awards. Here’s what 

she had to say: “This year actually 

marks my 15th anniversary with 

Pampered Chef, which we celebrated 

in Disney and Universal at the new 

Harry Potter theme park (thanks to 

PC!). I am an Upper Level Director 

with the company and have enjoyed 

many wonderful awards and perks, 

my favorites being all-expense paid 

travel awards to Paris, Hawaii, 

Vienna, Disney, and more. I was 

recognized at our national conference 

for having over $800,000 in career 

sales and earning the prestigious 

Excellence Award for having over 

$55,000 in sales for the year. I have 

been asked numerous times by the 

home office to lead workshops at their 

national conferences to help train 

other consultants across the country. 

The highlight of my career was 

being awarded the peer-nominated 

Hospitality Award. I still love sharing 

the great products through cooking 

shows, alongside my leadership 

position, having trained over 100 

people to have their own successful 

businesses.” ¶ Please drop me a note

Everett, MA 02149-5329, rosemary 

hughes@aol.com ¶ Hello, class. ¶ 

The big talk with our class right now 

is the Big 2-0 Year Reunion. Once 

you get over the shock of how much 

time has passed and how old we are, 

you can check out the steps being 

taken to plan May 2011. ¶ Thanks 

to Pattyanne Lyons, the Regis College 

Class of 1991 now has a Facebook 

page (listed that exact way on FB). 

Pattyanne started this up to get 

some interactive Reunion planning 

and dialogue in the works. Please 

take some time and check it out, and 

of course post any notes for Regis 

Today there as well. Great move, 

Pattyanne! ¶ Tricia Sullivan moved to 

Westfield, MA, 2 years ago, and she is 

pretty sure there are still unpacked 

boxes in her basement! She and 

Pattyanne Lyons were attending the 

Regis Cape Cod Luncheon last July. 

With Pattyanne and Tricia as two of 

the “younger” alums attending this 

event, something tells me that it 

did not include hitting Happy Hour 

with Gorde Milne & Jim Plunkett ... 

Or did it ? ¶ Congratulations are in 

order for Tara Philbin on her recent

engagement to Michael Corcoran! 

A summer wedding on Cape Cod is 

planned. ¶ Maricarmen Rodriguez 

lives in Manhattan and works for The 

Burberry Corporation as a manager. 

Stay close to her for those Burberry 

discounts! She has fully recuperated 

from back surgery and is back to her 

old healthy self. Maricarmen also 

keeps in touch with Maria Carolina 

Ortega de Mora from Venezuela. They 

meet every year in NYC. ¶ Andrea 

Lyons Lawson lives in Billerica with 

her husband and 3 children. She 

started Lawson Bookkeeping Services 

2 years ago, working primarily with 

small businesses in various industries. 

She also volunteers for her 

kids’ 2nd- and 4th-grade classrooms, 

and she’s looking for tips from any 

classmates who teach Kindergarten 

so she can help out in her youngest 

son Michael’s class in the fall! The 

Lawsons also have a new addition to 

their family: Everest, an Italian mastiff 

puppy! Good luck with the puppy 

training, Andrea. ¶ Lisa Spadafora 

Thompson lives in Medfield, MA, 

with her husband, John (a Babson 

guy), and her 2 kids – Matthew, age 

8, and Ella, age 5 (going on 30). Lisa 

stays close with her old crew, Kathy 

Bouchard Sanger, Kathleen Thompson, 

Patti Chiasson, Stacy Erikson Osborne, 

Kristen Muckian Giovanniello ’90, 

Noreen Kelliher, and Mary Ellen Gillis 

DuBois. She also lives in the same 

town as Kathleen Feeney Farris and 

Nicole Amnott. Lisa recently visited 

Sr. Rosenda Gill ’38 with Sr. 

Mary Oates at the CSJ home in 

Framingham, MA. If you remember 

her well, you’ll be happy to hear 

that Sr. Rosenda is still a spitfire! ¶ 

Lisa’s Medfield, MA, neighbor, Kathe 

Feeney Farris (who also married 

a Babson boy—Is there something 

about that town?), and husband Jeff 

celebrated their 17th wedding anniversary 

with their 2 daughters. Kathe 

is well connected with Dawn Polito 

Morris, Meg McWilliams Garvey, and 

Laura Fahey Murphy. ¶ Dawn-Marie 

Polito Morris is living in Burlington, 

MA, and has been married for 14 

years to husband Derek. Like so 

many, Dawn is sad about how fast 

her children are growing up. Michael 

is 12 and Erin is 10. She now works 

at MIT Lincoln Lab in Lexington, 

MA, as an SAP Training Consultant. 

She keeps in touch with Adrienne 

Hammel Aaronson, and Dawn. Meg 

McWilliams Garvey, Nicole Amnott 

Tongue, and Kathe Feeney Farris 

get together every 6 weeks, which is 

not an easy task these days. ¶ As for 

myself, Regis lost one of her proudest 

parents when my father passed 

away suddenly after a brief bout 

with cancer last Oct. With a wife 

and two daughters having graduated 

from the College, he was one of the 

school’s greatest fans. God bless my 

dad. Other than that, life is good, and 

I look forward to seeing you all. ¶ 

Please keep in touch! Remember that 

it’s not too early to start thinking 

Reunion! Stay tuned to the College 

website and the Regis College Class

griffin04@yahoo.com ¶ Hello, 

classmates! I hope the spring and 

summer have treated you well. I keep 

up with many of you on Facebook 

and know that many of our New 

England classmates have had fun 

keeping cool in what is now the 3rd 

hottest summer on record. ¶ Two of 

our classmates are returning to the 

classroom. Diane Lawton Robillard 

might be heading back to our alma 

mater. She hopes to earn a master’s 

degree in Health Administration 

from Regis’s new program. Diane 

and her family visited Williamsburg, 

VA, this summer on vacation. “What 

a great trip,” she said, “The Great 

Wolf Lodge was the favorite part.” ¶ 

Duyen Lorette Higginbottom is also 

heading back to campus, but not 

Regis. Duyen is studying at Regent 

University’s School of Divinity. 

While she hits the books, she is 

also planning for her wedding. “On 

my birthday my prince charming 

asked me to marry him,” she wrote. 

“I have less than 12 months to plan 

a wedding. Say a prayer for me!” 

Duyen also has a great outlook on 

life: “When you hit your 40s, if it 

isn’t fun, it just isn’t worth it!” Can 

I say, “Amen!?” ¶ Maryann Whitman 

Zujewski just accepted a new position 

as the Education Specialist for Salem 

Maritime National Historic Site and 

Saugus Iron Works National Historic 

Site. She loves her career with the 

National Park Service and is excited 

to take this next step. Maryann 

has been at the Tsongas Industrial 

History Center in Lowell for the last 

14 years. The new position means she 

will be returning to the workforce full 

time. Maryann was working 3 days 

per week since her 1st child, Emily, 

was born 9 years ago. She writes, “At 

least our youngest, Adam, is starting 

full-day kindergarten this year. We 

are excited to go camping in Acadia 

National Park at the end of the 

month. Then, on to Salem/Saugus!” 

¶ Lise Lague is also on the move 

again. Lise and her family have been 

transferred to St. Louis, MO, for 

the next 2 years. Lise writes, “We 

are looking forward to yet another 

adventure. If any of you live in the 

St. Louis area, please let me know, I 

would love to be in touch!” Her youngest, 

Caroline, celebrated her 3rd 

birthday this summer, and her oldest, 

Annabel, will be entering second 

grade in the fall. Lise adds that the 

girls are “still young enough to make 

all these moves without complaining 

too much.” ¶ Lynne Frodyma Turmel 

is consulting in loyalty marketing 

and will launch an innovative loyalty 

program for a large convenience 

chain in the Southeast. Lynne writes, 

“Consulting fits my lifestyle and 

provides the necessary flexibility with 

the boys. Other than that, built a 

must-needed garage in New England 

and enjoying the lake.” ¶ As for me 

… Well, the big 4-0 came in May, 

and my husband, Adam, surprised 

me with a party. His secret helper 

was Sharon Mulcahy, who graciously 

opened her unbelievable design studio 

and offered her magical touches for 

the event. Regis grads in attendance 

were Michelle Barczykowski, Kristen 

DePonte, and Jill Rynkowski Doyle 

’91. I was totally surprised and had a 

great time catching up with everyone. 

But I still can’t believe I am 40! ¶ 

Take care, all, and remember our 20th 

Reunion is less than 2 years away!

Regis College community at large. As 

a representative for the Class of 1998, 

I would like to extend our deepest 

sympathies and condolences for the 

recent loss of Lynn Tripp Coleman. 

During our time at Regis, Lynn was 

an invaluable resource and an exemplary 

role model. For me especially, 

Lynn was also a dear friend. She is 

missed by us all, but her impact on 

our lives and time at Regis will never 

be forgotten. In the spirit of our Alma 

Mater, I feel compelled to say that 

we will continue to feel the impact of 

Lynn Tripp Coleman on our lives and 

will evermore “twine in our hearts for 

you, undying flowers.” Until we meet 

again, Amy.

her husband, Mitchell Donahue, and 

daughter, Amelia Ann Donahue. She 

graduated with a Master of Science 

in Organizational Communication 

Behavior from Regis is 2006. 

Currently she works in 3 different 

fields. She’s the J.S. Equipment 

Depot Coordinator and Head 

Clinician ME/NH Region, where they 

help brain tumor cancer patients. 

Laurie says she loves working for the 

company and finds it very rewarding. 

Laurie is also an Adjunct Professor 

at Manchester Community College 

in the Business Studies Department 

and Great Bay Community College 

in the Hospitality Department. She 

teaches 5 different courses, anywhere 

from 1–3 classes a semester, 

and she really loves working with 

the students. Finally, Laurie is an 

event planner and an entrepreneur. 

She owns a company that specializes 

in event planning called Everyday 

Details, where she has a lot of fun 

helping with and planning all types of 

events, from fundraisers to weddings. 

Out of all of these, however, Laurie 

says that being a mommy is by far 

the most rewarding and favorite 

job! She feels very lucky to have the 

flexibility to work her hours around 

Amelia and her husband’s job, so they 

can avoid daycare. We are glad to 

hear things are going so well, Laurie!

¶ What a momentous occasion we had 

this last May. Can you believe we just 

celebrated our 5th Reunion? For 

those of you who weren’t able to 

attend Reunion, I must inform you 

that you missed one heck of a party! 

A handful of us even stayed in the pit 

for the entire weekend! Those who 

stayed over included Michelle Class, 

Sharon Lemay Ploss, Amy 

Shoemaker Bucelewicz, 

Emily Hall, Ellen Blaney, 

Kelsey Raga, Meghan 

Sullivan, Kathryn Bloomquist, 

and Kathleen Stuart. For our 

luau under the tent at the 

Tower Garden, Meghan 

Beck, Mandy Fleming, and 

Cate Howley McLaughlin and 

her hubby joined us on 

Friday night. Cate let us 

know that she left United 

Way after 5 years and got a 

new job at Tufts. She’s the 

director of the Dental Fund 

at Tufts University School 

of Dental Medicine. Congrats, Cate! 

It was great to catch up for a few 

minutes at dinner with everyone. 

After enjoying the buffet and DJ, we 

made our way down to the Fine Arts 

Center for a wine tasting and more 

desserts. ¶ On Saturday morning we 

trekked in our PJs to the cafeteria for 

breakfast. At noon we took part in 

our first parade of classes! Although 

we were at the end of the line, we 

proudly wore our American Flag 

Ribbon Pins, put together by Michelle 

Class, to represent September 11, that 

horrific day during freshman year. 

United as a class, we listened during 

the All Alumni Luncheon that 

followed the parade as other alumni 

who received the awards shared with 

us their stories of Regis. ¶ Saturday 

afternoon consisted of lazy walks 

around the campus, checking out the 

new fields, and really soaking in the 

beautiful weather we had. During our 

class meeting, Michelle Class was 

appointed our new President for the 

next 5 years. She will serve with Amy 

Shoemaker Bucelewicz as our Vice 

President; Meghan Sullivan will serve 

as Secretary; Emily Hall, Sharon Lemay 

Ploss, and Colleen Jaeger will b our 

Fund Agents; and lastly, Kathryn 

Bloomquist and Kathleen Stuart will 

join me as Class Reporters. Sarah 

Staunton will serve as our Reunion 

Chairperson in 2015. Thank you, 

ladies, for stepping up to the plate! 

¶ The high point of Reunion Weekend 

for many of us was the lobster bake 

held under the tent in the Tower 

Garden on Saturday evening. The 

Mark Greel Band provided live 

music, and all Reunion alumni 

gathered underneath the stars to eat, 

drink, and dance! Meredith Creeden, 

Danielle Lewon, Lauren Pullia, Bonnie 

Woolfrey, Susan Walley, and Kaitlin 

Damon Muzrall joined Reunion that 

evening. For anyone who missed it, 

check out the pictures on Facebook to 

see just how much fun was had! ¶ 

Speaking of Facebook, it seems to be 

the easiest way to stay in touch these 

days. I got to catch up with Caitlin 

Connolly, who’s son Colin and I share 

the same birthday! He turned 1 as I 

was turning 27 on Aug. 9, reminding 

me of how old I do feel. I’d like to 

send congrats off to Cait, who left 

Daniel Webster after 4 years to come 

back to our neck of the woods and 

work for Lasell! Who knows, Cait, 

maybe I’ll get you back on campus 

yet! ¶ We missed Melissa Curry at 

Reunion because she was traveling 

for work, but through Facebook she 

reports this: “Nothing really new 

here. Bought my house 2 years ago 

and just refinanced at a super rate. 

I have been slowly working on 

renovating my house. The next room 

we are working on is the kitchen! 

Let’s see, who else, Kim Valentine 

Malynn had a baby boy named Connor 

with her husband in June, and he is 

the cutest thing ever. That’s all that I 

got! Hope everyone is doing well and 

enjoying this summer.” Thanks for 

checking in, Melissa, and congratulations, 

Kim! ¶ Kellie Marren Rowland, 

my old freshman roomie, is another 

glowing mother! She gave birth to her 

second child, Alice, in June, and her 

first daughter, Mollie, is already 2 

years old! They just bought a house 

in Scituate, MA. Congrats, Kel! ¶ 

Speaking of Mollies, I had the 

pleasure of sitting with Molly Vollmer 

and her husband, Adam, at Evan 

Rufo’s wedding. Afraid I couldn’t buy 

her a drink this round, as she was 

pregnant with her newborn, Brady, 

who I’m happy to report is doing very 

well! Despite the rain at Evan’s 

wedding, it truly was a beautiful 

ceremony. Many Regis alums were in 

attendance, including Colleen Jaegar, 

and all were seen enjoying the dance 

floor after dinner! By the time you 

read this, Evan will a proud house 

owner in Woburn, MA. ¶ In other 

wedding news, I will be attending 

Michelle Class’s wedding on Sept. 18, 

2010; she and Brian Petersen will 

finally tie the knot. Her bridal party 

will include Sharon Lemay Ploss, Amy 

Shoemaker Bucelewicz, and Sarah 

Staunton. I’ll make sure to fill you 

all in with the next round of notes. 

¶ Kemi Akinribido is currently 

traveling the world and enjoying life! 

In the past few years she’s been to 

the UK, the Netherlands, Belgium, 

Italy, Greece, and Costa Rica, and she 

just came back from Japan a few 

weeks ago. ¶ Liz DeLise is having an 

“off-pregnancy” year since her son, 

Tedy, was born. Tedy is now 1, and 

Sophia is 3 (both are Jan. babies). 

Liz truly has her hands full! Her 

husband, Troy, joined the army and 

left for training in Apr., so he’ll be 

done in Nov., meaning another move 

for Liz’s crew by the end of the year. 

Maybe they’ll bring you back to our 

neck of the woods, Liz! She said she is 

excited for the new adventure, seeing 

as she grew up as an army brat and 

is now a proud army wife! She also

mentioned she quit her job to be a 

stay-at-home mom but started her 

own business! DeLise Inc. consists 

of mainly bows and bow holders, 

and her main product is called a 

BOWUTIFUL. The mission behind 

the bows is that each month an 

organization has a featured collection 

and proceeds from the sale of those 

bows go to benefit that collection. 

The big kickoff for that is in Sept. 

for the Leukemia and Lymphoma 

Society. Best of luck, Liz! We’ll make 

sure to update the class in the next 

issue of Regis Today, raving about all 

of your success, I’m sure! ¶ Liz also 

mentioned that she’s become a crazy 

runner. She did the 10K that ended 

in Gillette Stadium with her sister, 

Cait Connolly, and Isabel, claiming it 

was amazing to run through the 

tunnel and onto the field to finish at 

the 50-yard line! Liz’s oldest, Sophia, 

did her first kids’ race; she got to run 

the field the day before, “running in 

Mommy’s footsteps.” Liz’s next big 

race is Oct. 31, for the Marine Corps 

Marathon in DC, and she will also do 

the James Joyce Ramble in Dedham 

the last Sunday in Apr. When discussing 

all of the races, Liz had a great 

idea! She thinks we should do some 

kind of race at Regis, and I’m all for 

it! Anyone else interested? Let us 

know! ¶ Emily Hall is sad to report she 

lost her job at the end of June and is 

anxiously looking. She went to the 

Cape in June to go camping for a few 

days. She keeps in contact with 

Bobbie Finnochio ’04 and Aroostine 

Brown ’04, who are both doing well. 

Emily’s also very happy to have her 

brother home from London for a visit. 

¶ Speaking of coming home, we’re 

happy to have Roxanne Griffin back 

on U.S. soil. She had a fantastic time 

visiting her brother in Australia! Fill 

us in, Rox, we’d love to hear all about 

it! ¶ Meg Sullivan is still living at 

home on the Cape. She said she had 

a wicked awesome time at Reunion. 

We all agree! She happily took on 

the role as our Class Secretary. She’s 

also been teaching pre-K on the Coast 

Guard base for a year and half and 

just received a promotion! Lastly, 

she got accepted to grad school for 

elementary education and is looking 

forward to Michelle Class’s wedding 

in Sept. I’ll see you there, Meg! ¶ 

As for me, yes, I’m still here at Regis, 

hiking it down from Londonderry, 

NH, every day! As crazy as it may 

sound, it is still worth every mile. I 

am constantly racking my brain on 

what events I can throw to entice 

all of you back on campus. I know so 

many of you receive my regular event 

invitations through email—and if you 

don’t, send me your emails, because 

that means we don’t have you 

updated in the system! Life on 

campus, however different with each 

new class, still feels the same. I 

watch the excitement bottled up with 

nervousness in the new freshmen as 

they walk the halls during orientation, 

and I see the restlessness of the 

seniors each year as they get ready to 

depart. This year, as the leaves start 

to fade and cover the campus, the 

staff and faculty embark on servicing 

the largest incoming class yet. Kudos 

to the Admissions teams for all their 

hard work in recruiting! ¶ Lastly, 

we’d like to send our condolences to 

2 classmates who lost very important 

men in their lives. Both Kathryn 

Bloomquist and Olivia Robinson Kelley 

lost their fathers this year. We send 

our prayers and sympathy to their 

families. ¶ Please send in your news. 

I know 5 years doesn’t seem like 

enough time for things to have 

happened, but we’ve all been so busy 

that we’ve missed out on what’s going 

on with everyone else! I hope you all 

enjoyed your summers and are ready 

for the holidays.

and I get together for lunch when 

we can, and I can personally attest 

that Hologic keeps her busy traveling

always very happy for her. ¶ Kristen 

MacKenzie spent the majority of her 

summer tutoring and preparing 

for her brother’s wedding. She was 

lucky enough to see Keri Bertorelli, 

Lisa Crowley, Cathy Onasanya, and 

Colleen Hill when they all went to 

see Boston’s Grown-ups premier in 

June. My first question was how they 

made it through the entire movie 

without getting kicked out. Colleen 

and Kristen also saw Bon Jovi in 

concert on the 50-yard line at Gillette 

Stadium. She plans to return to her 

Pre-K classroom in Mashpee, MA, 

this year. ¶ Melissa Gonzalez actually 

left Puerto Rico to visit friends 

and family in MA. Though everyone 

missed her I could not believe she 

actually left the beach. In Apr. we 

celebrated in true Regis style at 

Margaritas, followed by a barbecue 

in June. Melissa and her fiancé are 

doing well and have officially set a 

wedding date for July 23, 2011. Even 

though she has wedding planning 

ahead, she will still be buried in her 

studies as she continues the road 

to her master’s degree. ¶ A common 

topic sweeping our class is real 

estate, as a few alumni have bought 

homes or are in the market. Veronica 

Coles and her fiancé closed on their 

house in Aug. and are very excited to 

start making it their home. Kimberly 

Luciani and her fiancé closed on their 

condo in Boston, and Caitlin Clark 

Seaman and her husband are house 

hunting in NH. Best of luck, ladies! 

¶ Taryn Face moved to Arlington, MA, 

this past May and also started a new 

job. She is now a Senior Marketing 

Associate at Vistaprint in Lexington,

of Directors at Regis College. 

She played in 3 different softball 

leagues this summer and prepared 

for the arrival of her nephew. 

Congratulations, Auntie Taryn! ¶ 

Nicole Messuri has been running all 

over town! She did 2 half-marathons 

this summer: the 13.1 Boston Series 

in Blue Hills, and Boston’s Run 

to Remember. She’s not stopping 

there and is determined to tackle 

a triathlon next. She also just got 

promoted to Operations Supervisor 

at MIT. Congrats, Nickelmama! ¶ 

As for me, Erin Campbell, I am living 

the late-20s dream in Arlington, 

MA, with my amazing dog, Doc. I 

had quite the road-trip summer, as I 

traveled to Topsail, NC, with Nicole 

Messuri and Christina Aprea ’05 for 

vacation in late Apr., and then down 

to Baltimore, MD, to see the Red Sox 

play. My personal recommendation 

is that everyone needs to experience 

Camden Yards at least once, as it 

is definitely Fenway South. In my 

professional world I still work as 

a Project Manager at Boston Color 

Graphics and coach basketball part 

time. I look forward to seeing everyone 

for our 5th Reunion in May.Until

REGIS TODAY 

A New 

Perspective 

in Abu Dhabi 

bY HEIDI GoMEZ ’06 

I have been in Abu Dhabi for a year now, 

and I love every second of it. Well, all but the 

extreme heat. 

I am working with Muslim girls and boys 

ages 6 through 11 at the New England 

Center for Children–Abu Dhabi, a private 

school for students with autism. It’s an 

amazing experience, because you get to 

help kids practice traditional routines, and 

at the same time you learn so much about 

the Muslim culture. We help some children with 

mealtime prayers, wearing a shayla (the fabric that 

women cover 

their hair/face 

Most women hold on to their 

traditional family 

values and that is something 

I admire. 

with) bathroom 

routines, etc. 

Here in Abu 

Dhabi, the 

school has six 

classrooms right 

now. We all work 

in one-to-onebasedclass- 

rooms, however we are now grouping the children. 

This hopefully can prepare them to share their teacher’s 

attention, and interact with each other in a public 

school setting. We work on basic skills of identifying 

objects, multiplying, dividing, graphing, etc. 

The United Arab Emirates (UAE) is a Muslim 

country, so it is quite a culture shock. However, 

once you go to a restaurant, malls, or just out in the 

streets you realize that Abu Dhabi is full of people 

from different parts of the world (Australia, New 

Zealand, Canada, England, etc.). You see women in 

their abayas, men in their kandooras, and expats 

walking around in jeans, shorts, T-shirt, or tank top. 

The best part is that most people I have encountered 

are so respectful to each other. 

During Ramadan, we cannot eat or drink in public 

before the sun goes down. It’s a bit hard during 

the summers, when the temperature can reach 

118 degrees, but I respect their beliefs. And during 

December there are Christmas celebrations here. 

I think it’s a mutual respect. 

The only thing that has been put into perspective 

is that the UAE is a very traditional place … but not. 

You see women everywhere wearing abayas, but a lot 

of them have jobs or are going to school now. I know 

that at our school a number of our students’ moms are 

working hard. So, as much as people make it seem 

as though it is crazy that women still have to cover 

themselves up, women are working hard. 

Yes, most women hold on to their traditional family 

values, and that is something I admire.

Celebrating Our innOvative leader 

Endowed Scholarship Fund 

Like the Sisters of St. Joseph, Mary Jane England, M.D., 

is a woman who is often ahead of the times. She 

pursued medicine when women were just beginning 

to break into the field. She chose a specialty, psychiatry, 

that had been dominated by men. In government, 

business and academe, she has stood out nationally 

as an innovative leader. Medicine, public health, and 

education have all benefited from her vision and so, 

especially, has Regis. 

To honor Dr. England’s achievements in health and 

in positioning Regis for the 21st century, as well as to 

celebrate her 10-year presidency at Regis College, we 

are pleased to announce: 

THE PRESIDENT MARY JANE ENGLAND ’59, M.D., 

ENDOWED SCHOLARSHIP FUND 

In keeping with Dr. England’s lifework and her allimportant 

focus on the advancement and well-being 

of students, this endowed scholarship will be given to 

Regis College students who are innovative leaders in 

the School of Nursing, Science, and Health Professions. 

As we embark on the final year of Dr. England’s 

remarkable presidency, we look forward to celebrating 

the milestones of the past decade and honoring her 

achievements. We hope all alumni, friends, and supporters 

will join us at special Regis events throughout 

the year to commemorate Dr. England’s service and 

rejoice in Regis’s future.

campaign, please contact Miriam Finn Sherman ’98,
