REGIS TODAY<br />
Build, Send Forth, Do Not Hold Back<br />
<strong>Regis</strong> <strong>College</strong> has come a long way since 9/11, when the destruction of<br />
the World Trade Center towers in New York labeled our campus a temporary<br />
civil defense shelter for Weston residents. In a changed world,<br />
my own <strong>Regis</strong> education informed my message to campus the next day:<br />
Today and in the months to come we assert more firmly our educational<br />
mission, our commitment to understand, to teach, to act, to seek<br />
the deeper wisdom of faith and knowledge…. Our preparation for the<br />
new world that has overtaken us is actually already in place…. To<br />
build and not destroy, to send forth and not hold back, to move to the<br />
next integration….<br />
Five years later, on August 31, 2006, the next integration was taking<br />
shape. <strong>Regis</strong> had passed the halfway mark of this transformational<br />
This fall <strong>Regis</strong> has the<br />
decade, and the argument was clear: To thrive in the 21st century,<br />
largest freshman class <strong>Regis</strong> had to grow. The “Case for Growth” became our strategic plan.<br />
in its history.<br />
This fall <strong>Regis</strong> has the largest freshman class in its history (300),<br />
and nearly 90 percent of the class wants to live on campus. For the<br />
first time in over a decade, the budget shows a bit of a surplus. Since<br />
2007, the number of young men choosing <strong>Regis</strong> has grown, this year reaching a milestone:<br />
<strong>Regis</strong> men constitute 30 percent of the class of 2014. The national passage of health care<br />
reform has advanced the cause of nurse practitioners and nursing faculty, stimulating enrollment<br />
in our master’s and doctoral programs. Enrollment in Health and Regulatory Policy,<br />
Health Administration, and Radiography master’s programs has taken off. Recognizing our<br />
leadership in nursing education, HRSA this year has awarded <strong>Regis</strong> <strong>College</strong> Nursing over<br />
$900,000 in scholarships and nursing faculty loans for master’s and doctoral programs.<br />
Faculty in our two Schools are opening fresh approaches for <strong>Regis</strong> students—pairing<br />
sociology and religious studies in a course on spirituality and community service; examining<br />
the theology of the workplace; matching English and theater; developing the communications<br />
of health care; dovetailing a public health minor with myriad majors—and beginning<br />
to embrace the interdisciplinary Pathways of Achievement that will help students reach<br />
their professional goals. At the same time, faculty are nearing completion of an assessment<br />
method that outlines “signature” assignments for students and helps them develop a portfolio<br />
of accomplishments measuring their advancement.<br />
In 2010, <strong>Regis</strong> is a co-educational, intergenerational, graduate and undergraduate campus<br />
where women and men athletes belonging to the New England Collegiate Conference (2011)<br />
emphasize both academic achievement and sportsmanship. A campus where the Children’s<br />
Center, kindergarten, and Lifelong Learning program connect children, traditional-age<br />
college students, young adults in the workforce, and seniors from the neighborhood in the<br />
adventure of learning.<br />
The search for a new president of the <strong>College</strong> is well underway, and a new studentcentered<br />
<strong>Regis</strong> website is bright with the faces of undergrads and graduate students, young<br />
and mature, diverse and multicultural women and men. The precarious 21st century finds<br />
<strong>Regis</strong> positioned to succeed with its mission of educational excellence, service and leadership.<br />

NEWS UPDATE<br />
Response Swift in the Wake<br />
of Murder on Campus<br />
BY M.J. DOHERTY ’67, PH.D.<br />
Recently, the <strong>Regis</strong> <strong>College</strong> community was<br />
seriously shaken.<br />
Early on the morning of September 24, two<br />
young men were stabbed in the Angela Hall parking<br />
lot, and one of them, 18-year-old Elhadji Malick<br />
Ndiaye of Waltham, the only son of immigrants from<br />
Senegal, was killed. This was completely heartbreaking<br />
for his family, and, in a different way, for <strong>Regis</strong>.<br />
The men who were stabbed were not <strong>Regis</strong> students.Verbal<br />
conflict developed in the foyer of Angela<br />
Hall in a chance meeting between them and a group<br />
of student guests leaving campus and spilled out<br />
into the parking lot.<br />
On September 30, Middlesex County District<br />
Attorney Gerard Leone announced the arrest of<br />
Robenson Daniel, 20, of Boston, and charged him<br />
with murder, assault and battery with a dangerous<br />
weapon (two counts), assault with a dangerous<br />
weapon, and armed assault with the intent to murder.<br />
Daniel is a Wheelock <strong>College</strong> student.<br />
The police investigation is continuing, and the<br />
<strong>College</strong> is cooperating with authorities.<br />
A murder on our campus flew in the face of the<br />
reality that <strong>Regis</strong> is a peaceful community that has<br />
zero tolerance for violence and for behaviors placing<br />
the community at risk. Any students who violated<br />
the <strong>College</strong>’s policies have also been the subject of<br />
<strong>Regis</strong> <strong>College</strong> action, up to and including immediate<br />
and indefinite suspension and removal from campus.<br />
In compliance with federal regulations, the <strong>College</strong><br />
is not releasing names.<br />
Heeding advice of experts in trauma response<br />
and crisis communication, the college has returned<br />
to normalcy, but with added security. We resumed<br />
classes and went forward with Founders’ Day<br />
ceremonies, Cap and Gown, the Graduate Program<br />
Reception, and Homecoming, and the campus is<br />
recovering its spirit.<br />
Investigators did not judge that there was any<br />
additional danger from the perpetrator, but to<br />
assuage fears, every residence hall has police presence<br />
24/7 during this crisis, and daytime foot patrols<br />
have been doubled. A police officer is on duty 24/7 in<br />
Angela Hall where the Children’s Center is located.<br />
We also monitor Walters Hall where the Academy<br />
Kindergarten is located.<br />
<strong>Regis</strong> received praise from investigators for our<br />
routine security measures, which include a high-end<br />
lighting system on building entrances and parking<br />
lots; video surveillance security cameras in entryways<br />
and on parking lots; locked residence halls<br />
(24/7) accessible only to those with card access; a<br />
Campus Police escort for any member of the campus<br />
community at night. These security measures helped<br />
with the investigations.<br />
With grief counselors available and campus security<br />
stepped-up, President England put out a call to<br />
action to students on September 27: “I am asking all<br />
of you to learn from this experience, summoning all<br />
of you to a new realization of your responsibility as<br />
members of this community—a new care regarding<br />
your social interactions.”<br />
For many decades <strong>Regis</strong> has reached out to immigrant<br />
and first generation students. We have cultivated<br />
a remarkable, global diversity on campus. This<br />
is a tremendous achievement already, and still a<br />
worthwhile work-in-progress. We trust that all who<br />
belong to <strong>Regis</strong> will continue to carry this work to its<br />
goal, social justice for all, “before the silver cord is<br />
snapped or the golden bowl is broken…and the spirit<br />
returns to God who made it,” as Ecclesiastes says.<br />

REGIS TODAY<br />
Outlook: A Lot Rosier<br />
(Since Mary Smalarz began providing health care to homeless women)<br />
By KiM ASCH<br />
The needs of the poor, homeless, hungry, and/or<br />
mentally ill women seeking refuge at Rosie’s Place<br />
don’t ebb and flow according to the academic calendar.<br />
That’s why, on a glorious Friday morning in early<br />
August, Associate Professor Mary Smalarz was busy<br />
tending to guests at this sanctuary of services and<br />
support in Boston.<br />
For the past 17 years, Smalarz has coordinated<br />
and supervised the <strong>Regis</strong> <strong>College</strong> Nursing outreach to<br />
Rosie’s, which staffs a wellness center four days per<br />
week from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m., not just during the fall<br />
and spring semesters but all through the year. During<br />
summers, Smalarz volunteers 24 hours a week<br />
with a smaller crew of nursing students who earn<br />
credit for their work.<br />
“Because we’re the only health care presence here,<br />
we’re not going to be fair-weather friends,” Smalarz<br />
said simply.<br />
Smalarz was inspired to partner with Rosie’s Place<br />
after <strong>Regis</strong> awarded its founder, Kip Tiernan, the<br />
honorary doctor of humanities degree in 1993. When<br />
Rosie’s Place opened its doors in 1974 it was the first<br />
women’s shelter in the city, staffer Anna Barbara<br />
Carter-Bruno said: “Kip Tiernan saw women dressing<br />
as men standing in soup lines because there was<br />
nothing for women. She said, ‘Oh, no. This can’t be.’”<br />
Since then, Rosie’s Place has evolved from providing<br />
meals and shelter to helping women from all<br />
socioeconomic backgrounds permanently improve<br />
their lives through advocacy, education, and affordable<br />
housing. Each year, 4,000 nutritionally balanced<br />
meals are served in the dining room, and each<br />
month, 1,250 women choose 20 to 40 pounds of free<br />
nonperishable food items and fresh produce from the<br />
groceries program. Rosie’s Place advocates schedule<br />
about 750 appointments each month with “guests,”<br />
as they are called, providing assistance with clothing,<br />
housing, educational and employment opportunities,<br />
legal advice, transportation, and emergency<br />
funds for eviction prevention and prescriptions. More<br />
than 600 women find shelter in the emergency and<br />
short-term housing.<br />
During a conversation with Tiernan on campus,<br />
Smalarz learned that health care was missing from<br />
this extensive menu of services. She got the idea<br />
that creating a wellness center at Rosie’s Place could<br />
benefit needy women as well as her nursing students,<br />
who are required to complete a community service<br />
experience with the medically underserved.<br />
“Mary was the<br />
perfect match for<br />
this organization.<br />
She and her<br />
nurses have made<br />
a huge difference<br />
in the lives of the<br />
poor and needy<br />
women who come<br />
here,” said Carter-<br />
Bruno, director<br />
of health and<br />
“I’ve always<br />
had a soft<br />
spot for the<br />
underdog.”<br />
nutritional services at Rosie’s Place. She was on staff<br />
when Smalarz first opened the wellness center in a<br />
makeshift space in a hallway alcove. “Her style of<br />
interacting with our guests is unconditional acceptance.<br />
She’ll do whatever she can for them, and that<br />
dedication does not change with the passage of time.”<br />
These days, the wellness center has its own space,<br />
an office, and a conference room right next to the<br />
dining room, “in the middle of the action,” Smalarz
Kathleen Dooher<br />
said. Nursing students—many of whom are already<br />
working RNs studying to become licensed nurse<br />
practitioners—provide wellness care such as basic<br />
first aid, immunizations, blood pressure and blood<br />
sugar screenings, assessment of common health<br />
problems such as colds or flu, and assistance with<br />
scheduling health care appointments and finding<br />
primary care providers. <strong>Regis</strong> nursing faculty Pat<br />
Ciarleglio and Joanne Hyde have also volunteered<br />
during the summer months.<br />
Many of the women guests seeking care speak<br />
little English. Some struggle with mental illness,<br />
while others are uncomfortable talking with doctors.<br />
“We help them navigate the system,” Smalarz<br />
said. For example, if a woman comes in with very<br />
high blood pressure, a nurse will work with her to<br />
figure out why. Is the woman not taking her medication<br />
because it’s making her sick? Can she not afford<br />
the prescription?<br />
Rosie’s Place relies solely on private donations<br />
and does not accept medical insurance or funding<br />
from the government or the United Way. “We’re not<br />
bound by red tape,” said Smalarz. “So we can sit<br />
down for an hour with a woman and talk about her<br />
diet and her prescriptions and help her to sort it all<br />
out. We can help her articulate questions she should<br />
ask her doctor.”<br />
With Smalarz leading the way, the wellness center<br />
has expanded to include the services of volunteers<br />
from Boston University School of Dental Medicine,<br />
and Sargent <strong>College</strong>, and of doctors from the nonprofit<br />
organization Women of Means. “We have this<br />
interdisciplinary academic model with nursing students<br />
and med students working together,” she said.<br />
On a spectacular Friday in August, Luz Rey, 38, a<br />
student in <strong>Regis</strong>’s nurse practitioner program, was<br />
beginning her first day and had already completed<br />
an appointment with a woman from Guatemala who<br />
spoke only Spanish. Rey, a native of Colombia, was<br />
able to communicate and connect with her. “So i’ve<br />
already been able to make a difference,” she said.<br />
Bart Nelson, 26, also a nurse practitioner student,<br />
volunteered at Rosie’s Place last summer while<br />
studying for his RN degree and was just beginning<br />
another stint. He said he enjoys serving the community<br />
of needy women, but admitted, “it can be<br />
difficult to relate to them at times because their<br />
backgrounds are so different from mine. i try to put<br />
myself in their shoes.”<br />
Smalarz said she has learned “there’s a very fine<br />
line between us and them.” Especially with the ailing<br />
economy, she said, “we have a number of what<br />
you’d call ‘formerly middle-class women’ who have<br />
left a family situation for a number of reasons, be it<br />
mental illness, substance abuse, or an abusive relationship.”<br />
She added, “i’ve always had a soft spot for<br />
the underdog.”<br />
Carter-Bruno still marvels at the energy and compassion<br />
Smalarz brings to her work as a volunteer.<br />
“You can find Mary at any moment doing just about<br />
anything a woman needs. I often walk in to find her<br />
at a woman’s feet doing foot care,” she said. “i’m<br />
so impressed and inspired by her dedication. it’s a<br />
wonderful example for her students.”<br />

FALL 10
in<br />
words<br />
my own<br />
“I learned how to fish, how to make<br />
friends, how important school is, and<br />
most importantly,<br />
I learned English.”
Kathleen Dooher<br />
When I first started school, at six years old, on the<br />
small island in the Aegean called Paros Island, I<br />
never thought I would be in the United States or<br />
even in college. See, where I come from, not many<br />
people get the chance to pursue higher education<br />
after high school. Many work at their parents’ farms<br />
or join the army. Many choose to run away from<br />
home and join a gang, pursuing a life on the streets.<br />
I am happy to be here, and I consider my life very<br />
good. I sometimes think back on how I came to be<br />
and remember all the obstacles I had to overcome to<br />
reach the United States and reach <strong>Regis</strong> <strong>College</strong>.<br />
The day I was born in Albania was the day that the old<br />
government was overthrown. There were strikes and<br />
flags burning on the streets. It was freezing that day.<br />
Life was unbearable. I remember my mom telling me<br />
stories of my father and grandfather having to wake<br />
up at 5 a.m. every morning to wait in line for milk.<br />
The economy was very bad, and poverty was in every<br />
corner. About a year after I was born, my family and<br />
I moved to Greece, to the small island of Paros. I<br />
spent nine years of my life there, and I learned many<br />
useful skills. I learned how to fish, how to make<br />
friends, how important school is, and most importantly,<br />
I learned English.<br />
Every summer, people from Ireland, Canada, England,<br />
and the United States would flood the seaside restaurants.<br />
One of those restaurants was owned by my<br />
friend’s aunt, and she let me help out. I took English<br />
in school so I could understand it pretty well. It was<br />
amazing living there. There was never snow, and the<br />
weather was always good. The summer was booming<br />
with tourism and money was pouring in. The<br />
winters, though, were the worst. There was always<br />
a drought in the winter. Jobs were hard to keep and<br />
even harder to find. This was one of the reasons why<br />
my parents decided to move to the United States.<br />
I came here about seven years ago, and I entered the<br />
eighth grade at the Watertown Middle School. My<br />
vocabulary was made up of elementary sentences<br />
with a thick European accent. I barely remember<br />
school because that year my mom was diagnosed<br />
with leukemia. I missed a lot of classes, but I still<br />
managed to pass. When I entered high school my<br />
mom was getting better, and so I got a little more<br />
time to focus on my schoolwork. I was doing fairly<br />
well in most of my classes, but English was the hardest<br />
for me. I started staying after school a lot with<br />
my ESL teachers hoping I would get better. With<br />
every day that passed and with every friend I made<br />
I learned more about the United States, and my<br />
English improved a lot. I was a very different<br />
person back then.<br />
I think a big turning point in my life was my junior<br />
year in high school. That’s the year I thought of<br />
myself as a fluent English speaker, and that’s the<br />
year I think I matured the most. I started putting<br />
friends and sports aside and started focusing on my<br />
schoolwork. My junior and senior years my GPA<br />
skyrocketed, and amazingly I was one of the top<br />
students in my English class. Senior year came<br />
really fast.<br />
in my own words<br />
Where I'm From, Where I’m Going<br />
By SEMI SPAhILLARI ’13<br />
I started thinking about college and what I was going<br />
to do with my life. I didn’t have any special skills, I<br />
was more of a Jack-of-all-trades. I enjoyed learning<br />
new things, and I liked variety. There was one trade<br />
that I thought I could do very well in and that I found<br />
very interesting, and that was business. I could picture<br />
myself in a business suit making million-dollar<br />
deals every day. Another thing I liked was theater.<br />
Before I applied to any colleges, I made up my mind<br />
that I wanted to pursue business management as a<br />
major and theater as a minor.<br />
I fell in love with <strong>Regis</strong> when I took a tour and met<br />
with the coach and the theater coordinator. It had<br />
everything I would want in a college, and I was<br />
ecstatic to have been accepted here. This year, I<br />
applied to be a resident assistant and also an orientation<br />
leader. I think this will help me grow as a leader<br />
and teach me communication with my peers and a<br />
good work ethic. I know that with the knowledge I<br />
am getting here I will achieve great things one day.<br />

A New Era for<br />
England<br />
After a<br />
transformational<br />
decade at <strong>Regis</strong>,<br />
the president<br />
moves on<br />
BY RACHEL MORTON<br />
She’s worked closely with governors and presidents and<br />
counseled churchmen at various levels as they worked for<br />
social justice. She and Rosalynn Carter have lobbied Congress<br />
together on issues of mental illness. Cardinal Bernard Law<br />
relied upon her advice and judgment as the Boston archdiocese<br />
entered what has been its most controversial era<br />
in history.<br />
But for Mary Jane England, the job with the most dramatic<br />
and long-lasting results has perhaps been that of president<br />
of <strong>Regis</strong> <strong>College</strong>. She will be leaving that post in June after a<br />
decade of service that has been nothing short of transformational<br />
for the college.<br />
“It’s time,” she says. “I’m ready. Ten years is a good stint.”<br />
It has certainly been a good stint for <strong>Regis</strong>. On the verge of<br />
bankruptcy when England arrived in 2001, the school is now<br />
stronger in every way, with a larger student body, new graduate<br />
programs in health sciences, sparkling new athletic fields,<br />
and, the biggest change of all, a coed campus.<br />
In fact, Dr. England has filled these 10 years with more<br />
significant activity than most colleges experience in a century.<br />
Perhaps it is because she has not been a traditional college<br />
president. She traveled a very different route, one that made<br />
her exactly the right leader for <strong>Regis</strong> in its most critical hour.<br />
How did a child and adolescent psychiatrist become<br />
uniquely qualified to, as the Boston Globe put it at the time,<br />
conduct a “rescue mission” for a struggling Catholic college?<br />
Well, it has a lot to do with the political acumen and management<br />
skills she gained through her many years reforming<br />
health care policy at the state and national levels.<br />
But it has just as much to do with her deep understanding<br />
of the mission and gestalt of <strong>Regis</strong>. She knew the Sisters of<br />
St. Joseph and their values. They educated her and were the<br />
guiding force in Brighton, the part of Boston she grew up in<br />
11<br />

REGIS TODAY<br />
When she arrived in<br />
2001, the future of<br />
<strong>Regis</strong> looked dim.<br />
Its enrollment was<br />
shrinking and so<br />
was its endowment.<br />
and still thinks of as home. That’s where it started,<br />
and it’s the axis around which her life has revolved<br />
all these years.<br />
The daughter of a policeman and a nurse, Mary<br />
Jane England acquired her passion for fairness, for<br />
family, and for communities in her working class<br />
Irish Catholic neighborhood, within the embrace of<br />
St. Columbkille Parish.<br />
It was the kind of community where the doors<br />
were always open and people went in and out of each<br />
other’s homes and lives. The parish church was a<br />
big presence in the community, both physically and<br />
spiritually. It instilled the families with a sense of<br />
neighborhood identity and cohesion. Neighborhood<br />
was valued, and neighborhood values governed the<br />
life of the community.<br />
“We were loyal to each other,” says Dr. England.<br />
“We felt very safe. If anyone needed help, you never<br />
said no. There was a sense of equality, everybody<br />
was the same.” Literally, in those days everybody<br />
in those neighborhoods was the same. All Catholic.<br />
“We didn’t know Protestants. We thought everyone<br />
was Catholic!”<br />
At the time, social norms dictated that girls would<br />
marry and have children. Though education for girls<br />
wasn’t discouraged, its main goal was to help a girl<br />
find a job to supplement her husband’s income—a job<br />
in a field where flexible hours would allow motherhood<br />
and duties in the home to come first.<br />
But Mary Jane England had different plans for<br />
herself. Today, the 72-year-old, tall, slim, her blond<br />
hair pulled back from a youthful, intelligent face,<br />
has a commanding presence. One can easily see<br />
how as a young woman, her beauty, brains, and<br />
poise would attract the interest of her teachers.<br />
England declared early on that she wanted to be a<br />
doctor, and her parents supported this idea enthusiastically.<br />
So did the Sisters at Mount St. Joseph<br />
Academy, where she went to high school, and at<br />
<strong>Regis</strong>, where she got her undergraduate degree<br />
in 1959.<br />
“The message I got is that if God gave you talents,<br />
you had to give something back multifold,” she says.<br />
So she went to medical school at Boston University,<br />
specializing in child and adolescent psychiatry.<br />
She married, and her children were born during<br />
her medical training, which included stints in San<br />
Francisco and Hong Kong. When she and her husband<br />
returned to Boston, England took a job at St.<br />
Elizabeth’s Hospital in Brighton, about half a mile<br />
from her home.<br />
When her father died several years later, she and<br />
her family moved back to her childhood home to look<br />
after her mother. Her children grew up there in the<br />
same neighborhood that had shaped her, connected<br />
to the parish church and the community. Though<br />
she currently lives on the Cape when she’s not in<br />
residence at the college, that house on Goodenough<br />
Street is still an England home—her daughter Kara<br />
lives there.<br />
In those early years of practice in the 1970s,<br />
England was starting to think about how to improve<br />
delivery of mental health care, shifting from a medicalized<br />
hospital setting to a neighborhood-based, more<br />
family-friendly structure. She opened a neighborhood<br />
clinic and soon began advocating for this model.<br />
England became a leader in the movement, which<br />
eventually led to a total restructuring of state<br />
mental health services. Under her watch, maltreated<br />
children and young adults in institutions<br />
like Bridgewater, Belchertown State School, and<br />
the Northampton State Hospital were moved into<br />
community residences.<br />
She helped steer this revolution in social policy,<br />
working with Governors Frank Sargent, Michael<br />
Dukakis, and Ed King, and when the Commonwealth<br />
of Massachusetts created DSS (the Department of<br />
Social Services), England helped design the new<br />
agency and took the helm there for several years.<br />
From DSS, England became a dean at the JFK<br />
School at Harvard, where she taught public administration<br />
and honed her political skills in what could<br />
arguably be an even more thorny milieu than state<br />
politics—higher education. After Harvard, responsibilities<br />
at the Prudential Insurance Company of<br />
America, as vice president in charge of developing<br />
mental health policy and coordinating mental health<br />
quality assurance, schooled her in the insurance<br />
industry. While she was there, she also developed and<br />
directed for the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation a<br />
$25 million grant program for comprehensive home-<br />
and community-based services in mental health for<br />
youth with mental disorders in 20 states.
With her broad background and experience,<br />
not only as a doctor but also as a public policy planner<br />
with an insider knowledge of the insurance<br />
industry, England became a sought-after adviser<br />
on health care on the national level.<br />
In 1990, England moved to Washington, D.C.,<br />
taking over as president of Washington <strong>Business</strong><br />
Group on Health. During these years, she worked<br />
with Hillary Clinton and her staff and collaborated<br />
closely with Tipper Gore and with Rosalynn and<br />
Jimmy Carter. She and Rosalynn worked together<br />
on legislation with Senator Kennedy.<br />
“Rosalynn and I met when I was president of<br />
the American Psychiatric Association. I was lobbying<br />
on the Hill a lot, and we became advocates together.<br />
We both have the same mission,” says England,<br />
“to provide mental health and substance use care<br />
for everybody.”<br />
Their friendship has endured the passing years<br />
and the changing tides in health reform. When<br />
England became president of <strong>Regis</strong> she invited<br />
Carter to campus to receive an honorary degree<br />
at the presidential inauguration convocation.<br />
} People<br />
call this decade a transformational<br />
period for <strong>Regis</strong>. And<br />
it has been so because of England. When she arrived<br />
in 2001, the future of <strong>Regis</strong> looked dim. Its enrollment<br />
was shrinking and so was its endowment. Many<br />
small colleges were closing their doors, and it looked<br />
as if <strong>Regis</strong> might follow suit.<br />
“Small liberal arts colleges are destined to go out<br />
of business if they don’t adapt,” says England. “We’ve<br />
adapted by building on our strengths and growing<br />
our nursing program, especially at the graduate<br />
level. If we didn’t have it, the liberal arts program<br />
would be out of business.”<br />
Before establishing a doctoral program in nursing<br />
practice in 2007, the college established the excellence<br />
of its undergraduate major in nursing and<br />
broadened the base of its course offerings with<br />
a health-care orientation. The multiple-entry graduate<br />
nursing program offers various master’s programs<br />
and has a healthy enrollment. It is turning<br />
out masters- and doctorally trained nurses who are<br />
taking on needed leadership roles in public health,<br />
nursing education, and administration, and it has<br />
been named a Center for Excellence in Nursing<br />
Education—the first such school in New England<br />
to receive this honor. “I’m very proud of the focus<br />
on health in our graduate programs,” says England.<br />
“It meets the needs of the community.”<br />
This shift into building up the health science<br />
offerings was a deliberate and farsighted choice<br />
for England. She believes that Boston is a locus for<br />
health-care related industries, and thus health-care<br />
related jobs. She wants <strong>Regis</strong> students to have those<br />
employment options.<br />
“So much of contemporary science is directly related<br />
to the health-care field,” says England. “The sciences<br />
used to be isolated, but medical schools have integrated<br />
them, nursing schools are integrating them.”<br />
This shift in academic offerings and focus, along<br />
with immediate and strict cost cutting, helped <strong>Regis</strong><br />
turn the corner economically. But it wasn’t enough.<br />
“We weren’t growing fast enough,” she says.<br />
“When we looked at the data, we saw that women<br />
were coming to <strong>Regis</strong> not because it was an allwomen’s<br />
college, but because we had nursing or<br />
some other specific program. A lot of women’s colleges<br />
were going coed at the time.”<br />
So she put the issue of coeducation on the table,<br />
again (it had been discussed, seriously, several times<br />
in <strong>Regis</strong>’s history). And, typically, pursued a careful<br />
feasibility study so that any change at the college<br />
could follow the evidence.<br />
In the past, <strong>Regis</strong> had been one of only a few good<br />
Catholic colleges for women in the Boston area, but<br />
since the 1970s it had been competing with formerly<br />
all-male Catholic schools like Boston <strong>College</strong> and Holy<br />
Cross, which had gone coed and attracted women,<br />
who increasingly desired a coed college experience.<br />
So despite her personal wish that <strong>Regis</strong> continue<br />
as an all-women’s school, England saw with the<br />
impartial eye of a scientist that accepting men would<br />
stem the erosion of undergraduate enrollment.<br />
She knew this would be a difficult change for<br />
alumnae, and she dealt with it as she did all the<br />
important changes she implemented—slowly and<br />
with lots of conversation and input from all quarters.<br />
The faculty supported it, but it was a harder sell to<br />
some alumnae.<br />
“The older alums took it much better,” she says.<br />
“Their own children didn’t want to go to women’s<br />
colleges. The recent alums found it harder. But we<br />
spent a lot of time with them. It was all transparent.<br />
We worked it through for a year and a half.”<br />
Now, going on four years since <strong>Regis</strong> went coed,<br />
the student body is 25 percent male. And as predicted,<br />
as the male student numbers have increased,<br />
so have female applicants.<br />
The student body is also very diverse—both in<br />
ethnicity and religious affiliation. Now 50 percent of<br />
<strong>Regis</strong> students are minorities, and only 50 percent<br />
are Catholic.<br />
This shift in student population wasn’t planned,<br />
says England. Rather, there was a shift in Greater<br />
Boston’s population. <strong>Regis</strong> still educates the children<br />
of working- and middle-class families from<br />
13<br />
FALL 10

REGIS TODAY<br />
Brighton, Roxbury, Cambridge, Somerville, Everett,<br />
and Dorchester—to name a few towns that sent their<br />
children to <strong>Regis</strong> when England attended back in the<br />
fifties. But now these families, instead of being just<br />
Irish and Italian, are Hispanic, Vietnamese, Haitian,<br />
and Cape Verdean, too.<br />
These families want the same things for their<br />
children as the Irish and Italian families did a<br />
half century ago. They want to know that after<br />
college, their children will be able to get a job and<br />
support themselves.<br />
In fundamental ways <strong>Regis</strong> today is much like<br />
the <strong>Regis</strong> of decades ago. The mandate of the Sisters<br />
of St. Joseph to reach out into the community to<br />
help the “dear neighbor without distinction” of race,<br />
religion, or class is still motivating the college’s<br />
mission to help the immigrant, first-generation,<br />
and working- and middle-class families get ahead.<br />
And that ethos is alive in the student body, who,<br />
though they may not be Catholic, are often very<br />
involved with their communities and their churches<br />
and want to be involved in community service<br />
work while at college.<br />
“We still reach out with social action,” says<br />
England. Our students are interested in social justice.<br />
This is the tradition of the Sisters that was<br />
very strong when I was a student here, and it’s<br />
still strong today. It’s a lot of what we do at <strong>Regis</strong>.<br />
Serve the underserved.”<br />
} England<br />
has always put families<br />
and children at the<br />
center of her life—both personally and professionally.<br />
She has much to be proud of with her own family.<br />
Her son, after years of international teaching, is<br />
training to be a doctor. A daughter, with many years<br />
in the Peace Corps and a master’s in public health,<br />
recently received her master’s degree in nursing from<br />
<strong>Regis</strong> (from the hand of her mother!). And her other<br />
daughter, after getting a law degree from BC, is now<br />
a Massachusetts state trooper working with a district<br />
attorney against domestic violence.<br />
And her children, in turn, are pretty proud of their<br />
mom. “My son, who just finished his first year at med<br />
school, said that my legacy at <strong>Regis</strong> would be going<br />
coed and the athletic fields,” laughs England. “The<br />
athletic fields! I’m not a big sports person. And if<br />
you’d asked me nine years ago what are you going to<br />
do at <strong>Regis</strong>, it would never have been going coed.”<br />
One thing everyone is proud of is that this year is<br />
the first year in the past 20 that <strong>Regis</strong> is operating in<br />
the black. Enrollments are rising—this year’s undergraduate<br />
enrollment is at about 800, slowly and<br />
steadily moving up toward the eventual goal of 1,200.<br />
She was exactly<br />
the right leader<br />
for <strong>Regis</strong> in its<br />
most critical hour.<br />
So in addition to the athletic fields and the shift<br />
to coeducation, England is leaving a school on solid<br />
financial footing with a new curriculum aimed at<br />
preparing students to enter a very different economic<br />
environment than <strong>Regis</strong> students entered in an<br />
earlier era.<br />
“I’m very proud of the ability of our students to<br />
be successful, to go on to graduate school and to<br />
get jobs,” she says.<br />
Early in her tenure she helped ensure the success<br />
of even struggling students, those inadequately prepared<br />
for the rigor of college courses, by obtaining<br />
a substantial federal grant to create a Student<br />
Success Center.<br />
But in addition to academic success and jobs,<br />
England also wants something more for the students.<br />
She also wants them to receive an education<br />
guided by the beliefs and philosophy of the Sisters<br />
of St. Joseph.<br />
“I want them to have a meaningful career so they<br />
can have joy from their work, as well as joy in their<br />
family life,” she says. “I want <strong>Regis</strong> <strong>College</strong> to have<br />
the stellar future it deserves in the 21st century.”<br />

� KATHLEEN MURPHY LOCKWOOD ’70
For over a decade, my existence<br />
rested on the ability oF my<br />
husband to successFully throw<br />
a tiny leather ball.<br />
I can credit <strong>Regis</strong> for a lot of things,<br />
including lasting friendships and the<br />
tutelage of my advisor, Sr. Thérèse<br />
Higgins. I also met my future husband<br />
at a <strong>Regis</strong> mixer during Sisters’<br />
Weekend my freshman year.<br />
Days after marching out to “Pomp and<br />
Circumstance” in June of 1970, I floated<br />
down the aisle to Pachelbel’s Canon, married<br />
Skip Lockwood, and from then on embraced the<br />
national anthem as the theme song of my life.<br />
I had no control over the action on the field, yet the<br />
outcome of the pitcher-versus-batter battle drastically<br />
determined the tranquillity of my days. We moved<br />
over 35 times in the course of my husband’s association<br />
with nine professional teams. I shared this gloriously<br />
nerve-racking life with a constantly changing<br />
cadre of women whose lives were also affected by the<br />
maneuvers of Major League management. I began as<br />
an impulsive ingénue bride and emerged as a seasoned<br />
wife, fostered by the friendship of some truly<br />
special spouses.<br />
At 22, I thought we had it all. I felt we<br />
had lost everything at 26, regained that<br />
glorious gift at 27, and we saw it all slowly<br />
wither away by the time I turned thirtysomething.<br />
Through all the ups and downs<br />
I definitely laughed more than I cried and<br />
belted out the national anthem more often<br />
than I sang the blues.<br />
Skip’s life centered around the ballpark. Constantly<br />
on stage, he played many different roles in the nightly<br />
performance between the lines. His fellow character<br />
actors included good high-inside hitters, free-swinging<br />
left-handers, batters who loved low fastballs, great<br />
bunters, and fearsome long-ball belters who faced raw<br />
fire, nasty curveballs, finicky forkballs, and challenging<br />
changeups. The settings added intrigue to the<br />
action. There were the friendly confines of Fenway<br />
Park with its scary green monster wall. Shea Stadium<br />
on Sunday afternoons when the blare of the jets from<br />
La Guardia drowned out the chatter on the infield;<br />
early- and late-season wind chill warnings in County<br />
Stadium, Santa Ana; lung-searing smog at the Big<br />

FALL 10
Mrs.<br />
A in Anaheim; and high-altitude wind tunnels in<br />
Denver’s Mile High Stadium.<br />
We hold disparate memories of this time period.<br />
Skip remembers who hit what pitch on what count,<br />
the childish pranks in the clubhouse, the endless<br />
hours spent icing his shoulder or groin, the anguish<br />
of giving up a bases-loaded dinger, the ecstasy of<br />
striking out the side, the catharsis of the competition.<br />
I remember the special friendships, the overwhelming<br />
camaraderie and compassion among the wives<br />
(tempered by occasional jealousy and back stabbing),<br />
the loneliness of long road trips, the anxiety that<br />
accompanied the insecurity, the constant packing and<br />
unpacking, the joy of joining in passionate standing<br />
ovations, the delight in purchasing a permanent home<br />
in the city we were playing in (three times), and the<br />
anguish of learning (over the radio) that we had been<br />
traded and would have to uproot again.<br />
There is a fine line a baseball<br />
wife must walk between CHiEF<br />
CHEERLEADER and personal<br />
anger management THERAPisT.<br />
Forty years ago I vowed to unconditionally love<br />
my husband for better and for worse, in good times<br />
and bad. Looking back, we have had over 38 wonderful<br />
years of wedded bliss and more than our share<br />
of weeks and months of depressing dark days. How<br />
did our marriage manage to survive the turmoil, the<br />
trades and the temptations? A deep love for each<br />
other, a strong belief in a higher power, and a huge<br />
dose of humor helped us through.<br />
My introduction into the world of baseball coincided<br />
with my initiation into adulthood during the tumultuous<br />
decade of the 1970s. The country’s disillusionment<br />
with the Vietnam War was growing as protest<br />
rallies spread across the nation. Civil rights laws<br />
might have been registered in the books, but they still<br />
had a long way to go before becoming a reality. The<br />
Camelot dreams of the White House had turned into<br />
a Watergate nightmare. The women’s movement had<br />
opened up new and exciting options for young women,<br />
but many soon discovered that “free love” was not<br />
totally free of deception and heartache. Personal fulfillment<br />
often came at the expense of a devoted spouse<br />
and family. Some skeptics in the media posed the<br />
question “Is God dead?” while subversive cults preyed<br />
on lost souls who had forgotten how to pray. To deal<br />
with the daily uncertainty and turmoil in professional<br />
baseball, I found comfort in my faith, reflecting and<br />
refocusing on the true meaning of life in the company<br />
of a community of believers on Sunday mornings.<br />
From my first freshman convocation at <strong>Regis</strong> to<br />
our final graduation ceremony, every major assembly<br />
began with the community intoning a musical adaptation<br />
of John Donne’s Meditation 17. Wearing Fair<br />
Isle sweaters and A-line wool skirts, my classmates<br />
and I would form a circle, cross our arms, hold hands,<br />
and chant:<br />
No man is an island, no man stands alone<br />
Each man’s joy is joy to me, each man’s<br />
grief is my own<br />
We need one another, and so I will defend<br />
Each man as my brother<br />
Each man as my friend.<br />
Two weeks after singing this mantra at my college<br />
commencement, I sat in an empty apartment in<br />
Brown Deer, Wisconsin, wishing I had just one friend<br />
with whom I could share the joy of my recent wedding<br />
and my all-too-short road trip honeymoon.<br />
My new husband would be away for another<br />
week as he continued on a long road trip with the<br />
Milwaukee Brewers. So there I sat, sprawled out on<br />
the multicolored shag carpet, surrounded by mounds<br />
of bubble wrap, serenaded by the soulful strains of the<br />
Righteous Brothers’ Unchained Melody over the radio<br />
(we did not yet own a television). A short while later<br />
my doorbell rang. The wife of one of Skip’s teammates<br />
was at the door. Her familiar Boston accent, along<br />
with a request to share dinner with her and her twoyear-old<br />
son, rejuvenated my spirit. Suddenly I was<br />
no longer adrift alone on an island; I was being welcomed<br />
into the baseball community by another young<br />
wife who understood my need for companionship.<br />
Baseball is a seasonal game played by young boys<br />
in dirt fields throughout America. For a special, few<br />
the baseball seasons continue to go round and round<br />
into adulthood. However, the heart of the game is<br />
rooted in childhood, and the professional athletes
who are most<br />
successful continue<br />
to enjoy<br />
playing games<br />
and, like Peter<br />
Pan, refuse to<br />
grow up.<br />
These boys<br />
marry young<br />
girls who are<br />
forced to grow<br />
up quickly and<br />
assume the role of<br />
the responsible adult.<br />
It is the baseball wife who<br />
must organize the day around<br />
her ballplayer’s schedule. Preparing nutritious meals<br />
and making sure her athlete has time for an afternoon<br />
nap is a must. If there are young children in the<br />
household they must be kept busy so as not to disturb<br />
dad’s pregame routine. Depending on the circumstances<br />
of the previous night’s game, the morning<br />
paper can either be placed quietly on the breakfast<br />
table or conveniently lost. There is a fine line a baseball<br />
wife must walk between chief cheerleader and<br />
personal anger management therapist.<br />
In the inevitable event that her husband is traded,<br />
he is expected to report to the new team immediately,<br />
often on the next plane. The new ballplayer is usually<br />
excited about the opportunity to play in a different<br />
city and receives a thunderous welcome from his new<br />
fans when he arrives at the ballpark for the first time.<br />
The baseball wife is left behind to clean the apartment,<br />
pack up the car and the children, leave her<br />
friends and support system behind, and move to the<br />
next town on her own. When she eventually arrives in<br />
town she faces the insecurity of trying to fit in with a<br />
new group of wives who might resent the fact that her<br />
husband just took over the coveted position of one of<br />
their inner circle. Next she must secure an apartment<br />
that will rent on a short-term basis, locate the grocery<br />
store, and restock the pantry and refrigerator, all<br />
before the team returns from their road trip.<br />
At one time I thought that it was only the wives<br />
of professional athletes who were thrust into this<br />
protective custody role. I now recognize this same<br />
quality in strong and supportive women from all<br />
walks of life. The gift of an oasis of serenity has been<br />
bestowed on countless families across our country<br />
by ordinary women just “doing what needs to be<br />
done at the time.” The military bride whose husband<br />
can be deployed at any time, the politician’s<br />
spouse who needs to maintain a serene presence in<br />
her home state as well as entertain constituents in<br />
Washington, the corporate weekday widow whose<br />
husband is constantly traveling, the family of the<br />
firefighter who can be sent anywhere at any time,<br />
and the wife of the doctor who is constantly managing<br />
life and death situations: all recognize the need to<br />
provide a sanctuary for their hero to regroup in the<br />
comfort of home.<br />
As I move into the autumn of my life I am thankful<br />
that my future is no longer manipulated by managerial<br />
decisions beyond my control, but that the unconditional<br />
love and the childlike wonder of our days<br />
in baseball remain alive. For preparing me for this<br />
magic carpet ride I would like to thank my college<br />
adviser, Sr. Thérèse Higgins, who long ago encouraged<br />
me to find my own voice in this noisy world.<br />

REGIS TODAY<br />
B<br />
“A male professor<br />
said, ‘Nobody’s<br />
going to hire you<br />
because you’re a woman<br />
and you won’t be able to<br />
do the heavy barrel work.’”<br />
ut in late August, her focus<br />
telescopes to the grapes. Part<br />
of each day is spent in the 350<br />
acres under Domaine Carneros’s<br />
direct control, eyeing the vines,<br />
measuring sugar levels in the<br />
fruit, and sipping juice. The most<br />
reliable indicator is her palate.<br />
“I can tell when the pH meter is<br />
not working properly,” she says.<br />
“Chemistry is the backup.”<br />
The decision to initiate the<br />
harvest is hers alone, and it puts approximately<br />
60 pickers, cellar workers, chemists, and other<br />
employees—not to mention untold millions in<br />
machinery—into motion. Everything in the<br />
winemaking business follows from this one<br />
judgment call. Her window for getting it right<br />
is about a day.<br />
If this responsibility stresses Crane out, she<br />
doesn’t show it. An air of confidence surrounds<br />
her, grounded in her experience. “Winemaking<br />
is not for people with short memories,” she says.<br />
“When I started I used to worry a lot more than<br />
I do now. When harvest comes I feel a sense of<br />
excitement and anticipation. Every year you<br />
want to have learned something from previous<br />
years so that you can do a better job than the<br />
year before.”<br />
The roots of Crane’s sense of ease run deep.<br />
This will be her 33rd harvest since arriving<br />
in California. She’s unlikely<br />
to come across a variable<br />
she hasn’t seen before. And<br />
bold decisions come easily<br />
to her anyway.<br />
SAFE RISkS<br />
Crane is a daughter of Wall<br />
Street: her father launched<br />
the options trading desk and<br />
ran international business<br />
for Dean Witter following<br />
World War II. From him she<br />
learned how to break big decisions into smaller<br />
chunks that can be examined from all angles. “I<br />
learned very early on how to look at both sides,<br />
how to evaluate whether this is a good thing or<br />
a bad thing,” Crane says. “I don’t think I take<br />
unwarranted risks.”<br />
Crane’s father brought wine from his business<br />
trips all over the world back to the<br />
northern New Jersey home in which she was<br />
raised. As a child she learned that a dusty bottle<br />
can be a whole lot more—a story, a memory, the<br />
key to a magical meal. From the age of eight,<br />
Crane was allowed a cordial glass of whatever<br />
was being served at Sunday dinner, and she<br />
remained interested in wine throughout high<br />
school and college.<br />
But when Crane graduated from <strong>Regis</strong> in<br />
1971 with a degree in sociology and a minor<br />
in economics, winemaking was not an obvious<br />
choice for women, or anyone else for that<br />
matter. She had never met a winemaker, didn’t<br />
know any winemaking families. “In the sixties<br />
and early seventies it was just not done,” she<br />
says. “I never thought of it as a career opportunity<br />
for me. Even if I were a man I don’t think<br />
I would have.”<br />
Instead, Crane’s first professional path was<br />
nutrition. After graduation she spent two years<br />
in Venezuela doing social work with malnourished<br />
schoolchildren, then earned a master’s<br />
degree from the University of Connecticut<br />
in 1975.<br />
Wine remained close to her heart, however,<br />
and as wine drinking gained currency in the<br />
seventies her reputation as an expert among<br />
her peers began to take on a life of its own.<br />
At UConn, Crane helped organize social events<br />
for the graduate council. Which is to say, she<br />
chose the wine. Treks to the local liquor store<br />
turned into a microindustry, with dozens of<br />
classmates in tow.<br />
“It got to be kind of an event,” Crane says.<br />
“There would be a line out the door with people<br />
wanting me to pick their wines out. I became<br />
the wine guru for graduate school.”<br />
After two years as a working nutritionist<br />
in Connecticut, Crane enrolled in a 10-week<br />
program at the Culinary Institute of America<br />
in Hyde Park, New York. Her intention was to<br />
become a chef, but at the Institute she met her<br />
first real-life winemaker, whose father had a<br />
small winery in Hudson Valley. “He mentioned<br />
to the group there’s some place in California<br />
called ‘Davis’ where you can actually take<br />
classes in winemaking,” Crane says.<br />
If the scene were a cartoon, a lightbulb would<br />
have appeared above her head at this exact
moment. Crane finished the 10-week program<br />
at the Institute, packed her Impala, and drove<br />
across the country in a beeline.<br />
EDuCATION OF A wINEMAkER<br />
At Davis, Crane was briefly discouraged. The<br />
traditional path into winemaking involved four<br />
years of undergraduate work in fermentation<br />
sciences, two years of graduate school—and<br />
was not welcoming toward women.<br />
“A male professor said, ‘Nobody’s going to hire<br />
you because you’re a woman and you won’t be<br />
able to do the heavy barrel work,’” Crane recalls.<br />
A second opinion from a woman professor on<br />
the Davis faculty was more constructive. Her<br />
advice was for Crane to audit some classes,<br />
persuade someone to give her an entry-level<br />
job, then prove herself from there. “And that’s<br />
what I did,” Crane says. She was at Davis for<br />
all of four months, then landed work as a parttime<br />
tour guide at the sparkling-wine producer<br />
Chandon, in Napa Valley. When the winemaker<br />
there left on short notice, Crane was pressed<br />
into service in the lab—the proverbial break<br />
forecast by the woman professor.<br />
Crane’s time in the lab provided the immersive<br />
education in winemaking that she’d hoped<br />
for when she hopped in her Impala and headed<br />
west. It also introduced her to a small circle of<br />
California winemakers specializing in sparkling<br />
wine, or champagne. Of thousands of California<br />
winemakers to this day, Crane estimates only<br />
10 are in the fizzy business in earnest.<br />
Once in the club, Crane’s ascent was steep.<br />
From Chandon she was hired away by a Napa<br />
sparkling-wine producer, Gloria Ferrer, to<br />
build their fledgling facility from the ground<br />
up. When the French champagne-producing<br />
family Taittinger decided to establish a base of<br />
operations in the region, Crane’s name topped<br />
their list.<br />
That was in 1987, nine years after her<br />
first industry job as a tour guide. Crane and<br />
Taittinger, which still owns 50 percent of<br />
Domaine Chandon, remain happily entangled<br />
23 years later. “It’s been a very good match,”<br />
she says. “They’re interested in nothing but<br />
the very best quality; that’s what I’m interested<br />
in too. There’s no point in spending your life<br />
doing something that’s not as good as it possibly<br />
can be.”<br />
Sparkling tipS<br />
• most wine lovers know to fill a<br />
glass to its widest point for swirling<br />
and the release of aromas.<br />
But what about straight and narrow<br />
flutes? to enjoy a sparkling<br />
wine’s enticing aromas, only fill<br />
your flutes one-third full.<br />
• For top quality, the tinier the<br />
bubble the better. Bubbles help<br />
release the wine’s flavor and<br />
aroma—so more is better, and<br />
tiny bubbles translate to a creamier<br />
texture on the palate.<br />
• you say champagne, i say sparkling<br />
wine. Why? Because using<br />
the name of the place where the<br />
grapes are grown is the birthright<br />
of that region, in this case the<br />
Champagne region of France.<br />
• For optimal taste and cork<br />
removal, sparkling wine should<br />
be served at 40-45 degrees F.<br />
you can chill it in the fridge for<br />
two hours or pop it in the freezer<br />
for 20 minutes. But the classic,<br />
stylish, 10-minute method is in<br />
a wine bucket filled with ice<br />
and salt.<br />
• Brut to demi-sec, dry to<br />
sweet, sparkling wine<br />
styles depend on the<br />
amount of sugar that’s<br />
added to balance the<br />
wine. Brut has almost no<br />
sweetness and is very<br />
food friendly. Demi-<br />
sec pairs nicely with<br />
dessert and fruit.<br />

Max Gerber<br />
As for that Davis professor who had tried to<br />
talk Crane out of becoming a winemaker in the<br />
first place? Years later Crane appeared on a<br />
panel with him at a conference. Crane told the<br />
story of her rude introduction to the industry<br />
without naming names, then enjoyed the look of<br />
recognition that crossed his face. “I don’t think<br />
he remembered my name but he recognized the<br />
story. It was like, ooooh.”<br />
ThE wINE<br />
In a region awash in over-the-top architecture,<br />
Domaine Carneros’s Napa compound still<br />
manages to stand out. Visitor parking is at<br />
the narrowest end of the pyramid-shaped estate,<br />
with an uphill view<br />
of the gardens,<br />
grand staircase,<br />
The decision<br />
to initiate<br />
the harvest is<br />
hers alone.<br />
and main building.<br />
Climbing the<br />
broad stairs toward<br />
the pink and yellow<br />
manor is like<br />
approaching Oz.<br />
When Crane<br />
joined the company<br />
in 1987, the drawings<br />
were done but<br />
ground had yet to<br />
be broken on the building, which is modeled<br />
after an 18th-century chateau also owned by<br />
the Taittinger family, in Champagne. Crane<br />
oversaw design of the Napa facility’s interior<br />
spaces, which include the cellars and<br />
bottling plant, multiple tasting rooms,<br />
a gift shop, and offices.<br />
The interior is classic and elegant:<br />
lightwood furniture, limestone and<br />
marble floors, and floral tapestry<br />
dominate. Overseeing the entrance is<br />
a portrait of Madame de Pompadour,<br />
paramour of King Louis XV, who<br />
introduced sparkling wine (which<br />
was invented in England) and other<br />
fineries to the court at Versailles. The<br />
royals’ tastes ran toward “foofy stuff,<br />
but she was more restrained,” Crane<br />
says with a wink.<br />
photographs of "glamour girls" like elizabeth taylor<br />
adorn the visitor's Salon, along with quotations<br />
from several. Crane's favorite is from madame de<br />
pompadour, who said, "Champagne is the only wine<br />
a woman can drink and remain beautiful."<br />
Domaine Carneros is the second winery<br />
Crane has built from the ground up. Asked<br />
to point out something in it she’s especially<br />
proud of, she answers without hesitation: “The<br />
wines themselves.”<br />
Domaine Carneros makes sparkling wines in<br />
three primary styles: brut, brut rose, and blanc<br />
de blancs. They taste good, distinct from each<br />
other—and a far cry from the too-sweet wine<br />
served in plastic goblets that most of us know<br />
as champagne.<br />
Crane’s office enjoys a view of vineyards out<br />
one window and a patio out the other, where<br />
Domaine Chandon’s sparkling wines are served<br />
in single glasses or flights. She enjoys the surprised<br />
expressions on the faces of skeptics tasting<br />
high-quality sparkling wine for the first time.<br />
“You see the light go on,” she says. “Most<br />
people have never had the good stuff.”<br />
When she talks about sparkling wine, Crane’s<br />
calm voice gains speed. To this day, she loves it.<br />
“Sparkling wine seems to have a life of its own,”<br />
she says. “It’s the only one you can actually hear.<br />
It has such vibrancy.” Each weekend starts with<br />
a bottle shared with her husband, wherever they<br />
may be. “It’s a standard,” she says. “It separates<br />
the week from the weekend.”<br />
There are unglamorous parts of the profession,<br />
for sure. Crane’s office probably looks like yours:<br />
there is computer terminal on one desk and tidy<br />
piles of paper on another. The key difference is<br />
that grapes determine the rhythm of Crane’s<br />
days, not technology.<br />
“It’s glamorous from the outside looking in, but<br />
on a day-to-day basis it’s farming,” Crane says.<br />
“Luckily my job is not boring. I have a lot of fun<br />
at my job. And I’m very tied to the seasons.”<br />
“In reality, when it comes to winemaking,<br />
I’m not in charge,” says Crane. “Mother Nature<br />
is in charge.”<br />

Dear Alumni & Friends,<br />
I am pleased to share the Roll of Honor of our generous supporters<br />
in the 2009–2010 fund year.<br />
This simple list is a way to publicly recognize the many generous<br />
alumni, friends, trustees, students, parents, faculty, and staff who<br />
have contributed to <strong>Regis</strong> over the past year. We can’t thank you<br />
enough. The list also represents generations of <strong>Regis</strong> stories—some<br />
stories that have continued for years and some stories that are just<br />
beginning. All are about relationship. What is your <strong>Regis</strong> story?<br />
Does it acknowledge the Sister of St. Joseph who mentored you and<br />
stayed connected throughout the years? The professor who challenged<br />
you and pointed you down the right career path? Was it a<br />
<strong>Regis</strong> alum who gave you your first job? Perhaps a coach or a friend<br />
made the difference for you. Whatever your story, it has been a part<br />
of the important decision to contribute.<br />
My own story began sixteen years ago when <strong>Regis</strong> believed in me<br />
and awarded me a full-tuition scholarship. Little did I know that<br />
all these years later I would come home again to <strong>Regis</strong> to be a part<br />
of giving back to a place that gave so much to me.<br />
<strong>Regis</strong> continues to be a campus where students are given the<br />
opportunity of a world-class education in a caring and nurturing<br />
community of learners. Your support makes this happen and<br />
enables current <strong>Regis</strong> women and <strong>Regis</strong> men to create their own<br />
<strong>Regis</strong> stories. And so the cycle continues.<br />
As we embark on an exciting year, we look forward to celebrating<br />
and honoring Dr. England in the last year of her Presidency<br />
at <strong>Regis</strong>. We will be reconnecting with alumni and friends from<br />
throughout the years to share with them the future direction<br />
of <strong>Regis</strong>.<br />
Please feel free to be in touch with your thoughts and ideas at<br />
Miriam.sherman@regiscollege.edu or 781-768-7222.<br />
My deepest gratitude and thanks,<br />

down. We vacationed in Green Harbor, mA with<br />
them our whole lives. It was always a treat to<br />
spend a week’s vacation there.<br />
We grew up visiting sister Viterbo on <strong>Regis</strong>’s<br />
campus; I can still remember her as may Queen<br />
in a long lace gown. Betty and I were her flower<br />
girls. They both loved <strong>Regis</strong>, they really did.<br />
<strong>Regis</strong> became a part of our family too—my<br />
cousins went there, as did my sister Betty and I.<br />
I don’t think I applied to any other school.<br />
<strong>Regis</strong> was it for me.<br />
Q: Why was an annuity a good choice for you?<br />
Hl: It’s a great way to make sure you still have<br />
income coming in in case you have any unforeseen<br />
medical bills. so we continue to get a<br />
percentage of it each year, and when we die the<br />
remainder reverts to the college. It’s a win-win;<br />
it’s a healthy income and the principal reverts to<br />
the college in the end.<br />
In honor of her reunion and her family,<br />
an alumna gives back to <strong>Regis</strong><br />
madeline lynch ’55 was not unlike many other alumni celebrating their reunions<br />
in may 2010 when she made a gift to <strong>Regis</strong>. What was different, however, is that<br />
the gift was not only to commemorate 55 years of being a <strong>Regis</strong> alumna, but also<br />
in memory of her two cousins who were former <strong>Regis</strong> faculty members: sister<br />
Viterbo, a psychology professor, and sister margaret William, a music professor.<br />
she also chose to do an annuity, which provides a steady stream of income to the<br />
donor, but the balance is donated to <strong>Regis</strong> after the donor passes away.<br />
madeline’s memorial harkens back to a day when multiple members of one<br />
family came to <strong>Regis</strong> over the course of many decades—and were proud as<br />
anything to do so. Her gift not only shows her love for <strong>Regis</strong>, but how the college<br />
became a big part of her family history.<br />
Creating a Legacy<br />
Here’s a Q&A with madeline and husband Hugh on their reasons for giving, the<br />
timing of the gift, and why they love <strong>Regis</strong> so much.<br />
Q: Why did you choose to give at your<br />
55th reunion?<br />
Ml: We both decided—Hugh and I—to give to<br />
our alma maters: Hugh went to Holy cross, and,<br />
of course, I attended <strong>Regis</strong>. This year is his 50th<br />
—he had left school to go to the navy and later<br />
returned—and my 55th. It was important to us<br />
that we gave an equal amount to both.<br />
A reunion gets you reminiscing too. I was<br />
in the “Big 6,” one room that housed six girls.<br />
I still see most of my roommates regularly. An<br />
experience like that bonds you for life. When we<br />
graduated my sister moved into the same room!<br />
Hl: The essence of it is that it’s time to give<br />
before we’re too old to. It’s time to take such a<br />
measure while we can. We have three children<br />
in their 30’s and 40’s and they’re doing well.<br />
Ml: It’s a good time to give back to the school<br />
in honor of two wonderful family members.<br />
Q: Why was it so important to give an equal<br />
amount to both schools?<br />
Ml: It’s like our marriage, everything’s equal.

¶ It was with open arms that <strong>Regis</strong><br />
welcomed Roberta MacDonald back<br />
to celebrate her 75th Reunion. With<br />
much pride, Roberta, accompanied<br />
by her niece, Regina Butler-Lally ’79,<br />
walked in the “Parade of Classes”<br />
proudly carrying her class banner to<br />
the applause of all in attendance at<br />
the Alumni Luncheon in Alumnae<br />
Hall. President Mary Jane England<br />
recognized Roberta and congratulated<br />
her on this milestone occasion. ¶ You<br />
make <strong>Regis</strong> proud, Roberta!<br />

✒ Katherine Connolly, Providence<br />
House, 180 Corey Road, Brighton,<br />
MA 02135 ¶ I’ve talked to S. Alice<br />
McConville, and she is doing well.<br />
She expects to return to her former<br />
convent at Ron Kon Koma in Apr.<br />
2011, which is when it is expected to<br />
be completed. I want to make a correction<br />
to the spring write-up in <strong>Regis</strong><br />
Today in our class news regarding S.<br />
Alice. It incorrectly read that S. Alice<br />
lives with her sister, where it should<br />
have read that S. Alice visits her<br />
sister. Sincerest apologies on the miscommunication.<br />
¶ Everything’s going<br />
well for me, and it has been a wonderful<br />
summer. I hope you all have a safe<br />
and healthy winter!<br />

¶ Greetings to my classmates of 1940.<br />
I attended the Reunion Weekend 2010<br />
Golden Tower Luncheon on May 21,<br />
and the all-alumni luncheon and<br />
awards ceremony program on May 22.<br />
It was a most memorable and happy<br />
weekend. Ms. Barbara Clancy and<br />
Christina Aprea are to be congratulated<br />
for planning with perfection.<br />
All the details created an atmosphere<br />
of loyalty and pleasure for all in<br />
attendance at this gala affair. We<br />
thank you. Now for a little news about<br />
our classmates. ¶ When I called Mary<br />
McDevitt Hadley recently she was<br />
sitting and enjoying the cool breeze on<br />
the pavilion in Osterville, MA. She<br />
and her husband, Elinus, have been<br />
residents of Osterville for many years.<br />
Mary plays bridge and also enjoys<br />
bowling on a weekly basis. Elinus<br />
and Mary continue their interest in<br />
town affairs. The Hadleys have 1<br />
daughter and 4 sons, all residents of<br />
Massachusetts, 11 grandchildren, and<br />
16 great-grandchildren. They enjoy<br />
their 16th great-grandchild, whose<br />
name is O’Eoghen, Gaelic for Owen.<br />
¶ Martha Mitten Hosinski mentioned<br />
in our recent telephone conversation<br />
that she continues living in South<br />
Bend, IN, enjoys playing bridge,<br />
and is interested in cultural and<br />
community affairs. She keeps a<br />
busy schedule with her 5 children,<br />
grandchildren, and great-grandchildren.<br />
Her daughter Anne Hosinski<br />
Madden ’67, a <strong>Regis</strong> graduate, is most<br />
active in business, civic, and community<br />
affairs in Portland, OR. Her
sister Claire also resides in Portland<br />
and is active in medical affairs.<br />
Martha has 3 sons. One is in business,<br />
and 2 are attorneys, following the<br />
profession of their late father,<br />
William, who was a noted attorney<br />
and renowned judge in South Bend,<br />
IN. Recently a “Gala Birthday Party”<br />
celebrating Martha’s 90th birthday<br />
was held, with over 45 guests<br />
enjoying the occasion. Happy birthday<br />
to Martha, who was described in our<br />
<strong>Regis</strong> <strong>College</strong> Yearbook as “a flash of<br />
red hair and a peal of laughter.” ¶<br />
Gladys Kiely McMakin enjoys living in<br />
her family home in Arlington, MA,<br />
with a most beautiful manicured<br />
garden. Her son, Matthew, resides<br />
with her in the home, giving Gladys<br />
great care and comfort and taking<br />
over household responsibilities.<br />
Gladys’s 5 children, grandchildren,<br />
and great-grandchildren are most<br />
attentive, visiting and frequently<br />
calling. Gladys’s pet companions for<br />
many years are Dudley and Ilse;<br />
sadly, Ilse has been hospitalized with<br />
a fatal condition. We were delighted<br />
that Gladys attended the <strong>Regis</strong><br />
<strong>College</strong> Alumni Weekened on May 22,<br />
2010, with her daughter Marcie.<br />
Gladys and I represented our 70th<br />
Reunion Class. ¶ I called Yvonne<br />
Normandeau Oswald and her husband,<br />
Norbert, answered the phone. I knew<br />
that Norbert was a West Point<br />
graduate, and I commented that I was<br />
a military wife for 15 years, until my<br />
Robert retired from military service.<br />
We enjoyed chatting about military<br />
life long, long ago. Yvonne and<br />
Norbert reside in a retirement<br />
military residence in Melbourne, FL.<br />
When I chatted with Yvonne she had<br />
just returned from a two-week<br />
hospitalization. Being quite weak and<br />
not feeling well, she was hoping to<br />
regain her strength while getting<br />
better with care and relaxation at<br />
home. I will say a little prayer that<br />
you have a quick recovery. ¶ Helen<br />
Hogan Sullivan and her husband,<br />
John, a physician, resided in Carney,<br />
NJ, with their family for many years.<br />
Upon retiring, John and Helen<br />
returned to their summer home in<br />
Eastport, ME. Their 4 sons and<br />
daughter had established homes with<br />
their families before their parents’<br />
retirement to Eastport. I called Helen<br />
in March in reference to our 70th<br />
Reunion. Due to distance and medical<br />
problems, she was unable to attend.<br />
On April 7, I received a call from her<br />
daughter-in-law, Mrs. Dan Sullivan,<br />
that Helen had passed away peacefully<br />
surrounded by her loving family.<br />
Helen is rejoicing with her husband in<br />
their heavenly home in the presence<br />
of the Lord. ¶ There was a beautiful<br />
tribute to the late S. Therese Higgins<br />
’47 by special assistant to the<br />
president M.J. Doherty ’67, Ph.D,<br />
entitled “All, and in All” printed in<br />
<strong>Regis</strong> Today (spring and summer<br />
2010). ¶ In March I had sent a<br />
personal letter to Janet Ahern Rink in<br />
reference to our Reunion May 21–22<br />
at <strong>Regis</strong>. Janet said she was disappointed<br />
that she was unable to be<br />
present at this happy event. In April,<br />
I called Janet at her<br />
residence, “The Malter<br />
Place,” in Wilmette, IL,<br />
concerning our Reunion<br />
details. We discussed her<br />
daughters, Holly, who<br />
resides in Elkhart, IN, and<br />
Linda, in Oregon. They are<br />
most attentive to their<br />
mother, calling and<br />
visiting, including their<br />
children and grandchildren.<br />
Janet requested that<br />
I call again soon, and I am<br />
planning to in the near<br />
future. ¶ Margaret Madden<br />
Foley, aka Midge, continues to live<br />
by the seashore in Rye, NH, happy<br />
indeed that her daughter Patricia<br />
lives with her, caring for her needs as<br />
well as providing wonderful companionship.<br />
Due to an eye problem, Midge<br />
no longer paints or writes poetry,<br />
many poems being published. Midge<br />
has 5 children, 14 grandchildren, and<br />
6 great-grandchildren, many of them<br />
living in different parts of the U.S.<br />
The Foley clan frequently visits and<br />
calls Midge, a happy loving family.<br />
Midge commented she does not sing<br />
very often. At <strong>Regis</strong> a most talented<br />
and beautiful singer … “Indian Love<br />
Calls” always requested. ¶ Alice V.<br />
Herlihy continues to enjoy living in<br />
the family homestead in Florence,<br />
MA. She retired from the family’s<br />
successful retail business in Florence<br />
many years ago. Presently, due to<br />
breathing difficulties, she is now on<br />
oxygen, which restricts her interests<br />
and activities. As an “EC” receiving<br />
major at <strong>Regis</strong>, she was a volunteer<br />
for the Pioneer Group creating<br />
“Buy-A-Bear” doll-like creations for<br />
thousands of needy children and<br />
senior citizens. Although curtailed<br />
by her medical condition, she has<br />
continued assisting the Pioneer<br />
Group in certain easy phases. I chat<br />
frequently with Alice, always in a<br />
happy and friendly mood, particularly<br />
in <strong>Regis</strong> affairs. ¶ Geraldine Burke<br />
Morrill continues to reside in<br />
Plantation Village in Wilmington,<br />
NC, a beautiful retirement community,<br />
enjoying many cultural and civic<br />
activities. Gerrie is again the winner<br />
of the annual Spelling Bee at the<br />
Plantation. One more contest at<br />
another community and Gerrie will be<br />
number-one speller. Gerrie is involved<br />
with her 6 children, as several family<br />
members live in the Wilmington area,<br />
and calls and visits the Morrill family<br />
throughout the U.S. Gerrie has<br />
continued her friendship with<br />
Barbara Schiltzer since college days.<br />
A yearly reunion of the Morrill family<br />
is a very happy and gala event. ¶ Mary<br />
Sampson Schmidt has resided in San<br />
Jose, enjoying the sunny California<br />
weather, for many years. A recent<br />
family reunion was celebrated in a<br />
classnotes<br />
It was with open arms<br />
that <strong>Regis</strong> welcomed back<br />
Roberta MacDonald ’35<br />
to celebrate her<br />
75th Reunion<br />
beautiful seaside hotel in California.<br />
The gala affair honored their loving<br />
mother for her continued love and<br />
devotion to her family. Mary has<br />
continued her friendship since college<br />
days with Marion Quinn Clancy, Ruth<br />
Ferraro Tobin, and the late Ruth<br />
Monahan Savage. They all were<br />
bridesmaids at Mary’s wedding at<br />
St. Aidan’s Church in Brookline, MA,<br />
during the early war years. Mary’s<br />
interest in <strong>Regis</strong> affairs has continued<br />
since 1940. ¶ Many months ago,<br />
Marion Quinn Clancy was seriously<br />
injured in a fall. After a long hospitalization<br />
and rehab, she has recently<br />
returned to her Hull, MA, home with<br />
continued care and physical therapy.<br />
Marion is happy to be in her seaside<br />
home, enjoying frequent strolls along<br />
the Hull ocean walkway with her<br />
walker—use of a cane is anticipated.<br />
Known as the Clancy Singing Group,<br />
Marion and her late husband and<br />
children were well-known professional<br />
singers. Of their 9 children, sadly 3<br />
have passed away, and their families<br />
are dedicated with love and devotion<br />
to their lovely mother. ¶ Barbara<br />
Norton Schiltzer attended the Reunion<br />
Weekend 2010. The Golden Tower<br />
Luncheon in the beautiful <strong>College</strong><br />
Hall was attended to capacity with<br />
classes from 1935 to the present.<br />
Barbara and I represented our class<br />
of 1940 with our daughters. At our<br />
table was Eleanor Ryan ’39, Alice<br />
Sullivan Sheehan ’42 with friend Nan,<br />
and Mary Good ’42. President Mary<br />
Jane England enjoyed sharing her<br />
lunch at our table. Barbara has<br />
resided in Framingham, MA, for the<br />
last 43 years. Despite 3 hospitalizations<br />
in 2009, Barbara looks great<br />
and is enjoying her family. She has<br />
interests in local and world news, and<br />
enjoys reading <strong>Regis</strong> Today. Barbara<br />
as a student at <strong>Regis</strong> was involved in<br />
many class activities and had a great<br />
49<br />

REGIS TODAY<br />
interest in and dedication to her Alma<br />
Mater. ¶ Mary Hastings Kilcoyne has<br />
been a resident of Clinton, MA, since<br />
her marriage. John, her devoted<br />
husband, passed away in 2009. Mary’s<br />
son Timothy moved in to care for her<br />
and assist in household responsibilities.<br />
Daughter Julia and son John and<br />
their families live in nearby Sterling,<br />
MA. She and I enjoyed reminiscing<br />
about our happy <strong>Regis</strong> days and our<br />
classmates. I don’t believe I have seen<br />
Mary since our graduation, although<br />
we have chatted many times. ¶ Rita<br />
McNeil Schissel and her husband,<br />
Charles, a retired physician, have<br />
lived in Amesbury, MA, for many<br />
years. All their children grew up in<br />
Amesbury, MA, and all are in<br />
professional fields: 2 physicians, 1<br />
international pilot, 2 in business, and<br />
3 teachers (Mary, Jeane, and Susan).<br />
Betsy and her husband, both forest<br />
rangers, transferred from Yellowstone<br />
National Park to Clinton, NH. Rita<br />
and Charles’s recent visit to the<br />
Langley Lake region in Clinton,<br />
Maine, was most enjoyable. Rita<br />
commented that “she is blessed with<br />
her wonderful family”; they are most<br />
attentive and dedicated to Rita and<br />
Charles. ¶ Claire Griffin Deveny has<br />
been a resident of Clinton Township<br />
Retirement Facility for many years.<br />
She retired after 35 years in the<br />
teaching profession in Clinton<br />
Township. Her daughter Janice lives<br />
nearby, with 4 grown daughters and<br />
grandchildren. Sheila, residing in<br />
Battle Creek, MI, and Ellen, in Bel<br />
Aire, MD, visit and chat with their<br />
mother frequently. Paul, Claire’s<br />
brother, who lives in the family home<br />
in Jamaica Plain, also visits and chats<br />
with her frequently. ¶ A recent chat<br />
with Marie Dillon Doran Marcellino<br />
on Aug. 10 informed me that she<br />
attended mass with 17 relatives<br />
and friends in her home in West<br />
Yarmouth, MA. Marie has 4 grown<br />
children: Steven, Mark, Kathy, and<br />
Jane, as well as grandchildren,<br />
great-grandchildren, and 6 stepchildren,<br />
the children of her late<br />
husband, Bill Marcellino. With this<br />
extended family, Marie indeed has<br />
a very busy schedule, enjoying<br />
participation in their activities in<br />
Massachusetts and throughout the<br />
U.S. Marie continues interests in the<br />
cultural and religious affairs in West<br />
Yarmouth, MA, and in her winter<br />
home of Lexington, MA. ¶ Ruth<br />
Ferraro Tobin enjoys residing in the<br />
Dorchester Assisted Living Facility.<br />
Ruth taught in Boston for over 35<br />
years. Ruth’s son Jim and his wife,<br />
Anne, and their 2 sons, Jason and<br />
Adam, are most attentive to Ruth.<br />
Jason is a junior at John Hopkins<br />
University, and Adam is a UMass<br />
graduate. Ruth and family enjoy<br />
their summer home in Westerley, RI.<br />
¶ For several years Beatrice Cunniff<br />
Quinn was ill with cancer. During this<br />
period, I called her frequently. She<br />
never complained. We enjoyed<br />
chatting about our families, world<br />
events, and news concerning <strong>Regis</strong>.<br />
On Feb. 16, her daughter Judy called<br />
to say that her beloved mother had<br />
passed away peacefully at home<br />
surrounded by her children: Francis,<br />
Judy, and Mary Ann. A lovely lady is<br />
rejoicing with her husband, Bill, in<br />
their heavenly home. ¶ Due to a<br />
recent fall injuring her pelvic bone,<br />
Marie Scanlon Flaherty was hospitalized<br />
with a long period of rehab.<br />
During her rehab, her husband<br />
underwent heart surgery. Due to good<br />
care by her family, medication, and<br />
physical therapy, they are both back<br />
in their beautiful home in Scituate,<br />
MA. Complete recovery is anticipated<br />
in the near future. Marie’s nephews,<br />
Jay, Richard, and Eric, and niece,<br />
Elaine, children of Marie’s late sister,<br />
Joey Scanlon Carlson, have been of<br />
great assistance and dedicated to the<br />
comfort of Marie and Matt. Matt and<br />
Marie are looking forward to again<br />
actively supporting the Boston<br />
<strong>College</strong> Cape Club. ¶ As for me, Mary<br />
Kerr Lynch, my family was invited to<br />
the Alumni Luncheon, including my<br />
sons, Kevin, Robert, and Michael,<br />
Michael’s wife, Peggy, my daughter<br />
Mary, and Lisa Kerr, the daughter of<br />
my late brother, Peter Kerr, and Marie<br />
O’Leary Kerr. Gladys Kiely McMakin<br />
and her daughter Macia enjoyed<br />
having luncheon at the 1940 Reunion<br />
table. All were very proud that their<br />
mother was the recipient of the<br />
Loyalty Award 2010. President Mary<br />
Jane England personally presented to<br />
me a beautiful silver plaque inscribed<br />
“<strong>Regis</strong> <strong>College</strong> 2010 Alumni Loyalty<br />
Award ’40.” ¶ She announced that she<br />
was retiring as president of <strong>Regis</strong> in<br />
2011. She will be sorely missed as a<br />
great president. ¶ Classmates, be<br />
healthy and happy as summer ebbs<br />
into a surrounding world ablaze<br />
with fall color amid warm breezes.<br />
Bless one and all and <strong>Regis</strong> high<br />
on the hilltop.<br />

I’m writing these class news items, I<br />
am on Cape Cod on July 8, and it is<br />
96 degrees outside. What a hot and<br />
wonderful summer this has been! ¶<br />
It is with sadness that I report the<br />
deaths of Mary Osborn Rice on Jan.<br />
8, 2010, and Eileen G. McSoley on<br />
Apr. 19, 2010. Please remember both<br />
of them and their families in your<br />
prayers. They will be remembered<br />
at the Annual Memorial Liturgy on<br />
Nov. 14, 2010, in the <strong>College</strong> Hall<br />
Chapel. ¶ The news events are many<br />
on this writing. Our 65th Reunion<br />
in May was attended by Philomene<br />
Winchester Murphy, Doris Lynch, Doris<br />
Burns Sullivan, Mary Carr Simeone,<br />
Mary Foley Dowd, Betty McNally<br />
Finigan, Mildred Burns Sullivan, and<br />
yours truly, Annette Pendergast. True,<br />
there were only 8 of us, and we 8<br />
paraded and carried our 1945 banner<br />
proudly. The events of our Reunion<br />
were wonderful. The luncheons, the<br />
welcome reception, the dinners, and<br />
the parade of classes were noteworthy.<br />
Even our own 2 parties that we<br />
held were successful. They included<br />
Chuck and Mary Carr Simeone<br />
and their 2 daughters, and also<br />
from Chicago came Betty McNally<br />
Finigan’s daughter Anne and her<br />
husband, Carl. Anne was celebrating<br />
her 30th Reunion with the Class<br />
of 1970. I heard from Betty Cronin<br />
Crane from Naples, FL, that she could<br />
not make it, and the same for Mary<br />
Hannon Monahan of New Canaan,<br />
CT, and Rita Manion Ludlum of New<br />
Jersey. Doris Burns Sullivan made<br />
the Reunion all the way from Winter<br />
Park, FL. Her oldest son is a 3-star<br />
vice admiral in the Navy Air Corps.<br />
He is now the Military Representative<br />
to NATO in Washington, D.C. Also,<br />
her son Stephen is a pilot with<br />
Delta Airlines and is making runs to<br />
Tokyo. He was located in Brussels,<br />
and Doris and her husband had a<br />
great visit with him there. ¶ After<br />
our farewell party we had time<br />
for a class meeting when everyone<br />
pitched in to see what leaders in the<br />
class might keep the class of 1945<br />
together. No arrangement of class<br />
officers was recommended, nor were<br />
there any volunteers who would be<br />
willing to fill in. I’ll keep you posted<br />
and update you on any changes. ¶
The Annual <strong>Regis</strong> <strong>College</strong> Cape Cod<br />
Summer Luncheon took place on July<br />
29, 2010, at the Coonamessett Inn,<br />
located in Falmouth, MA. Dr. Mary E.<br />
Chamberland, Class of 1974, was the<br />
guest speaker. She had received her<br />
MD degree in 1979 and her master’s<br />
in Public Health in 1982. She discussed<br />
the U.S. Centers for Disease<br />
Control, the Health Protection Agency,<br />
and the World Health Organization.<br />
This was most interesting and informative<br />
news of her career and accomplishments.<br />
From the Class of 1945,<br />
only Philomene Winchester Murphy<br />
and I attended, but we thoroughly<br />
enjoyed the afternoon. Also, Barbara<br />
Clancy, Director of Alumni Relations,<br />
deserves another round of applause<br />
for the major part she played in running<br />
the luncheon. ¶ If you have any<br />
news, no matter how minor, please<br />
drop me a note. Girls of 1945 Class,<br />
stay healthy and happy!<br />

¶ Our class has had a very active<br />
summer season. At the annual <strong>Regis</strong><br />
<strong>College</strong> Cape Cod Luncheon, the class<br />
was well represented when President<br />
Mary Jane England shared the good<br />
news of increasing enrollment in the<br />
freshman class. Coonamessett Inn<br />
offered a delightful setting for the<br />
140 alumnae and friends to mix and<br />
mingle. Representing the Class of ’47<br />
were class president Gertrude Breen<br />
Alfredson, Jean Curran, Mary Reddican<br />
McEttrick, Alice Dunbar O’Halloran,<br />
and Louise McInernery Ryder. Also<br />
this summer, Phyllis Gallinelli Campell<br />
hosted a ladies’ lunch in Marshfield<br />
for Gertrude Alfredson, S. Dorothy<br />
McKenzie, Alice O’Halloran, and Jeanne<br />
McDonough Cronin. Dot reported<br />
to those gathered about the grand<br />
adventures she had during her summer<br />
visit to the St. Joseph’s community<br />
beach house in Cohasset. We<br />
hear that classmate Joan Moynaugh,<br />
who has been “artist in residence” in<br />
Ohio, plans to return to the Bay State<br />
sometime soon. We look forward to<br />
reconnecting! We also heard Catherine<br />
Pattavina was among the participants<br />
at the memorial mass for our recently<br />
deceased classmate, S. Therese<br />
Higgins. My husband, Albert, and I<br />
have been fortunate to spend Aug.<br />
and Sept. at our daughter’s Cape<br />
home, which has given me a chance<br />
to spend time with many of our Capebased<br />
classmates. During our stay,<br />
Elaine Richardson ’76 hosted a luncheon<br />
for Dorothy Mahoney McKenna,<br />
Peg Donovan, Rita Dailey Fahey, and<br />
me. It was a chance to catch up and<br />
share some news. Rita was passing<br />
through mid-Cape after a vacation<br />
with her husband, Frank, in Wellfleet,<br />
where her daughter Michelle’s family<br />
was summering. Dot, as always, was<br />
full of news. She has enjoyed visits<br />
by her children and grandchildren<br />
all summer long, and she reports<br />
that she’s back to full speed after a<br />
few readjustments to her replaced<br />
hip. I had occasion to welcome Peg<br />
Donovan into the “so you broke your<br />
hip club” earlier this summer (I’ve<br />
broken both over the years!). She and<br />
I have shared a few “physical therapy<br />
sessions” in her pool. Peg’s partial hip<br />
replacement has not slowed her a bit,<br />
and during our lunch she told us of<br />
her many travels this year, including<br />
the annual winter escape to St.<br />
Maarten and Aruba. Also in August,<br />
I had the pleasure of attending mass<br />
one Sunday morning at the home of<br />
Marie Dillon Doran ’40. At the gathering<br />
in celebration of the feast of the<br />
Assumption alongside the sparkling<br />
waters of Lewis Bay were Marie’s<br />
daughter, Cathy Doran ’74, my<br />
daughter Elaine, and Doris Tassinari,<br />
the sister of our classmate Eleanor<br />
Reagan Curran. Marie’s grandchildren,<br />
Katy and Dan Doran, and my<br />
grandson, Connor Patrick Richardson,<br />
participated as lectors and servers<br />
in the mass. Please drop me a<br />
line about your recent or upcoming<br />
adventures so that we can add your<br />
news to the next alumnae magazine.<br />
And of course I hope we will have the<br />
chance to convene in November when<br />
the <strong>Regis</strong> community honors those<br />
friends and classmates who have been<br />
called home to the Lord during the<br />
annual Mass of Remembrance. In the<br />
meantime, stay happy and<br />
healthy and stay in touch!<br />

¶ Present at the lovely<br />
Alumni Luncheon at <strong>Regis</strong><br />
in May were several of<br />
our classmates, including<br />
Marion Blue Brennan,<br />
Barbara Sullivan, Jane<br />
McGrath, Marie Fisher Lee, Ann O’Hare<br />
Smith and S. Regina Harrington, CSJ.<br />
Recently, Barbara enjoyed a cruise<br />
down the Atlantic coastline, and<br />
Marie Fisher Lee had a wonderful<br />
family reunion. She brought great<br />
pictures with her to the luncheon to<br />
share with her classmates. Nancie<br />
Turner Donelan, having just celebrated<br />
the birth of her second grandchild,<br />
has begun to think that Heloise needs<br />
help. She wanted to share her latest<br />
hint for cleaning a dirty microwave<br />
oven. Set the microwave to 2 minutes<br />
and nuke 1 cup of water and 2 or 3<br />
tablespoons of lime juice. Let stand<br />
until cool. Wipe with paper towel.<br />
Voila, spotless microwave. Use rest of<br />
lime to flavor a summer beverage of<br />
your own choosing (that’s my hint).<br />
Marion Mulrennan Graham reports<br />
that her family traveled en masse to<br />
County Mayo for the wedding of son<br />
Patrick and his beautiful Irish lass.<br />
Rumor has it that it was the best<br />
wedding ever on either side of the<br />
Atlantic. The Mulrennan family also<br />
has its roots in that same country.<br />
Our roving reporter met with Mary<br />
Jane Crowley Murray for brunch at the<br />
All Day Breakfast Restaurant, near<br />
Goose Rocks Beach. Her family felt<br />
she needed a break after a difficult<br />
year and made all the arrangements<br />
to allow her to have three days of visiting<br />
in the vacation spot of her youth.<br />
She was able to meet with a number<br />
of old friends. What a thoughtful<br />
family, and what a perfect gift. We<br />
received notice recently that our<br />
classmates, Mary Lou Queenan Borges<br />
and Mary Alice Scanlan Connelly, had<br />
passed away. May God grant them<br />
great joy and peace. We extend our<br />
deepest sympathy to their families<br />
and friends. Since news is sparse for<br />
this issue, despite the good work done<br />
by our constantly roving reporter,<br />
I thought I would reminisce with<br />
some thoughts from a talk I gave at<br />
our 25th Reunion, June 1973, titled<br />
“I Remember <strong>Regis</strong>.” ¶ Twenty-five<br />
years ago, the world was young, and<br />
so were we. We were, despite a World<br />
War, or perhaps because of it, a docile<br />
generation, steeped in innocence and<br />
naïveté. We had at <strong>Regis</strong>, this class of<br />
class notes<br />
I had the occasion to<br />
welcome Peg Donovan ’47<br />
to the “so you broke<br />
your hip club”<br />
earlier this summer.<br />

FALL 10

REGIS TODAY<br />
1948, a spirit that is often considered<br />
unusual today, in the same way that<br />
patriotism and love of country sometimes<br />
seem, to some, to be out of date.<br />
I remember <strong>Regis</strong> well, as everyone<br />
remembers any loved time of life<br />
which is past, with nostalgic affection<br />
and fond memories. I remember the<br />
first day as a freshman, full of confusion<br />
and uncertainty and amazement<br />
at the sophistication of every member<br />
of the upper classes. I remember the<br />
chugging blue buses which met the<br />
trains at Kendall Green station and<br />
I was more often<br />
than not, glimpsed<br />
running<br />
furiously in the<br />
wrong direction.<br />
brought us up to <strong>Regis</strong>, up the hill<br />
lined with poplars on the main driveway.<br />
They seemed to wave in happy<br />
greeting on good days and warn us<br />
to mend our ways when we had not<br />
finished assignments. I remember<br />
the mail room crowded with eager<br />
students anticipating a letter from<br />
an APO Box number, so much a part<br />
of our lives then. There were crestfallen<br />
looks on faces that found an<br />
empty box, and looks of relief when<br />
there was news that a brother, beau,<br />
or friend was safe, at least for the<br />
moment. I remember the lane, the<br />
very old lane with the large fallen<br />
log, way down past the athletic field,<br />
where the ground was always covered<br />
in damp leaves and the smell of wood<br />
almost but not quite obliterated the<br />
smell of smoke. I remember the new<br />
lane, down on the other side of the old<br />
gym, in the apple orchard, where for<br />
the first time smoking was permitted<br />
and therefore not quite so much fun.<br />
(We are a little bit smarter today!) I<br />
remember the walks and rides to the<br />
studio for those high-calorie Italian<br />
dinners, and the trips to Wellesley<br />
for slightly more upscale meals. Then<br />
there were the long walks to Weston,<br />
where we enjoyed ice-cream cones,<br />
with the admonishments about ladylike<br />
behavior ringing in our ears. We<br />
always were aware that our presence<br />
was only tolerated. I remember the<br />
field hockey in the hockey field and<br />
the race across campus to science<br />
class still huffing and puffing. With<br />
all that, I never did learn all of the<br />
field Hockey rules. No one wanted<br />
me on her team, as I was more often<br />
than not, glimpsed running furiously<br />
in the wrong direction. I remembered<br />
the library on the third floor, where<br />
we were always and forever, making<br />
too much noise no matter how often<br />
we were shushed by the person at<br />
the desk. Sometimes it was a fellow<br />
student, and, of course, then we<br />
would be even more noisy and more<br />
difficult to quiet. I remember the<br />
carpools disgorging their occupants<br />
as the sleepyheads, unlucky enough<br />
to have a first class, were racing in a<br />
usually vain attempt to be on time. I<br />
remember the Boat, that near<br />
bit of real estate on the prow<br />
of <strong>Regis</strong> Hall, with S. Caroline,<br />
CSJ, reigning on the third<br />
floor, and S. Monica, CSJ, who<br />
awaited our arrival back where<br />
we gave her reviews of what<br />
we had seen. We had only one<br />
complaint about those treats.<br />
They just did not happen often<br />
enough. Who could forget<br />
the dreaded World History<br />
course with S. Jacqueline,<br />
CSJ, which was the highest<br />
academic hurdle for everyone<br />
in the freshman class. We all<br />
really thought the world was<br />
much too large to be contained in one<br />
course. Then there were the dances<br />
where we pooled every male resource<br />
so that everyone who wished could<br />
have a date to fill in for the boys who<br />
were away. The song that exemplified<br />
this time was one we sang often,<br />
“They’re Either Too Young or Too Old.”<br />
We prayed for those in the service,<br />
we wrote faithfully, we truly missed<br />
them, but we really did love to dance.<br />
Any of the big band songs I hear,<br />
especially Glen Miller’s, takes me<br />
immediately back to those days and<br />
are still my favorite popular music.<br />
¶ I do not have enough space to finish<br />
this, so I will leave you wanting<br />
more, I hope, and will finish in the<br />
next issue. ¶ Please send me your<br />
reminiscences or old stories, your new<br />
news, or even (be kind) your criticism<br />
or corrections. Share some of your<br />
life with us or, I promise you, you<br />
will hear more than you ever need to<br />
know about me. You have the choice<br />
of email, snail mail, or phone calls<br />
to send information along. Become<br />
a roving reporter and bring us up to<br />
date about you. ¶ Au revoir for now,<br />
my good friends. May God bless us all,<br />

1949<br />
✒ Betty Ann Hynes Elliott, 38 Oxford<br />
Road, Wellesley, MA 02481, baelliott2@<br />
verizon.net¶ After an exceptionally<br />
hot and humid summer for many of<br />
us, I hope you’re enjoying a beautiful<br />
fall season as you read this. Sadly<br />
we lost our ever faithful, most loyal,<br />
extremely diligent fund agent of many<br />
years this past spring. Pat Molloy<br />
McDermott passed away in Apr. after<br />
a brief illness. Pat saw to it every<br />
year that each and every classmate<br />
was contacted regarding the annual<br />
fund. As a result, the class of ’49 was<br />
at or near the top in giving year after<br />
year. Pat leaves 5 children, their<br />
spouses, and several grandchildren.<br />
¶ Also in Apr. Barbara Calnan Murphy<br />
died. Barbara had been living at St.<br />
Patrick’s Manor in Framingham,<br />
MA, in recent years. Jean McKenna<br />
O’Keefe passed away in July. Jean<br />
and her husband had retired to Cape<br />
Cod. She leaves 2 daughters, 6 sons,<br />
and 19 grandchildren. We extend our<br />
deepest sympathy to Pat’s, Barbara’s<br />
and Jean’s families and friends.<br />
These classmates will be remembered<br />
at the Memorial Liturgy in Nov. ¶<br />
Four classmates lost their husbands<br />
recently: Shirley Hession Hendrickson’s<br />
husband, Robert, passed away in Apr.,<br />
as did Charlotte Malone Corcoran’s<br />
husband, Paul. Thomas Kilcoyne,<br />
husband of Maryann Boyce Kilcoyne,<br />
died in July, and also in July Ann<br />
McLaughlin Brodbine’s husband, John,<br />
passed away. We offer prayers and<br />
condolences to all of these classmates<br />
and their families. ¶ While trying<br />
to do a small amount of Pat’s expert<br />
fund-raising Cay Foley Hines enjoyed<br />
chatting with many classmates. These<br />
classmates are loyal contributors to<br />
the annual fund even though many<br />
are unable to attend our events. Mary<br />
Nelson Cobb, a home economics major,<br />
lives in Milton, MA, and continues<br />
to teach at Curry <strong>College</strong>. Her fellow<br />
teachers and students have been a<br />
great support to her following the<br />
loss not only of her husband but also<br />
of her daughter, who was her only<br />
child. Marion Comerford Cowie enjoyed<br />
a 10-day cruise on the Canadien St.<br />
Lawrence River and was looking<br />
forward to another cruise, this time<br />
in Italy in Sept. ¶ Norma Maloney<br />
Crowley was saddened and shocked<br />
to hear of the death of her dear friend<br />
Barbara Calnan Murphy. She was<br />
told the sad news when she called<br />
Barbara at St. Patrick’s Manor for one<br />
of her frequent phone chats. Norma<br />
is busy overseeing the care of her<br />
older sister. Barbara Phillips DiChiro<br />
still resides in her home in Bethesda,<br />
MD, where she raised her family.<br />
She traveled the world with her late<br />
husband, who was a physician for the<br />
U.S. government. Even though she is<br />
housebound with arthritis, Barbara<br />
was very cheerful and interested in<br />
her many classmates. ¶ Anna Marie<br />
Davis Nappa, who has been battling<br />
cancer for a long time, was also full<br />
of cheer and interested in her fellow<br />
<strong>Regis</strong>ites. She was at a rehab, sitting<br />
in a wheelchair most of the day, going<br />
to therapy and hoping to return to<br />
her new townhouse in Uxbridge, MA.
Her children are a godsend to her. Al<br />
Hanley McDermott still lives in her<br />
family home on Long Island, near her<br />
children. They keep her young and<br />
help ease the loss of her dear husband,<br />
John. ¶ Eleanor Melville Kilbourn has<br />
recently downsized to a townhouse,<br />
still in Bountiful, UT. Her husband<br />
died suddenly right after they moved<br />
there, leaving her with 5 young children.<br />
They all helped their mother so<br />
she could return to work as a social<br />
worker when the youngest went to<br />
school. Lois Morrison Steffensen still<br />
lives in her home of 40 years, located<br />
in Vienna, VA. Her husband, a West<br />
Point graduate, also died suddenly<br />
at the age of 53, leaving her with 4<br />
young children. She volunteers at a<br />
nearby hospital and is active with<br />
her West Point friends. Margie Sellers<br />
Fitzpatrick enjoyed our 60th Reunion.<br />
She still lives in Toledo, OH, but<br />
visits her sister on the Cape annually.<br />
While there she gets together<br />
with Nancy Natoli Fay, Ann McGrath<br />
Cullinan, Pat Cauley Ross, and yours<br />
truly. Margie’s daughter, Amy O’Neil,<br />
was honored to receive a Governor’s<br />
Award for Outstanding Women in<br />
New Mexico because of her work as a<br />
court-appointed special advocate for<br />
children. Margie was able to travel<br />
to New Mexico to attend the award<br />
ceremony. Congratulations to all! ¶<br />
Pat Foley Granahan was also saddened<br />
by the death of Pat Molloy and<br />
attended the funeral along with Mary<br />
Breslin, Kaye Barron Cox, and Rosemary<br />
McAuliffe. As usual several ’49ers<br />
enjoyed the Cape Cod luncheon at<br />
Coonamessett Inn in Falmouth, MA,<br />
in July. Charlotte Malone Corcoran<br />
and her daughter were scheduled to<br />
attend but were unable to at the last<br />
minute, as Charlotte suffered a fall.<br />
She has moved to Middlebrook Farms<br />
at Trumbull, CN, and is most appreciative<br />
of all the love and prayers she<br />
has received in the past few months. ¶<br />
I heard that Cay Foley Hines and Lois<br />
McQueeney Moulton had a grand time<br />
on the Cape Cod Canal Cruise in July.<br />
Lois’s granddaughter is still modeling<br />
as she continues her studies at<br />
Northeastern U. Also on the Cape this<br />
past summer a group of alums enjoyed<br />
Hairspray at the Dennis Playhouse. It<br />
was a wonderful performance: lively<br />
music, great cast and sets, and lots of<br />
laughs. I met a niece of Dottie Lewis<br />
Rose’s when we all gathered after the<br />
show, Rose Mary Lewis Irwin ’79. She<br />
said Dottie is widowed and has lost 2<br />
sons, is still in Topsfield, MA, and is<br />
busy as ever. ¶ Does any of the above<br />
inspire you to tell us something about<br />
yourself? I hope so. Don’t be shy. You<br />
know where to reach me. I hope to see<br />
many of you at our annual fall luncheon<br />
and/or at the Memorial Liturgy<br />
in Nov. Till then, good luck and good<br />
health to you and yours!<br />

¶ Our 60th Reunion on the weekend<br />
of May 21–23, 2010, passed ever<br />
so quickly, but our bonds of friendship<br />
have grown over the years. The<br />
weather was cooperative, just perfect.<br />
For people who haven’t been back on<br />
campus for several years, the change<br />
is most notable—many more buildings,<br />
lush green playing fields, and<br />
male students. It was summertime,<br />
but there were students on campus<br />
taking summer courses, notably in<br />
nursing. The students we encountered<br />
were as friendly as students were in<br />
our day. In our student days the foyer<br />
was sacrosanct, but no longer. It is<br />
used for a variety of events. In fact,<br />
our luncheon was held there. Golf<br />
carts were available for transportation<br />
on the hilly campus. Despite the<br />
many changes, one constant remains:<br />
the warm, friendly spirit. ¶ Seventeen<br />
of our classmates gathered for the<br />
Reunion: Mary Casey Acton, Marie<br />
Dillon Canane, Gerry Mullin Cornes,<br />
Beth Finn Deschenes, Dreda Kallaher<br />
George, Mary Buckley Glennon, Theresa<br />
LeBlanc Gray, Amy Chin Guen, Helen<br />
Konopacka Jennings, Helen Harty<br />
Keough, Nancy Gaynor McGuire, Mary<br />
Daily Neylon, Barbara Tyrrell Nugent,<br />
Alfreda Swiston O’Hara, Alice Boyce<br />
Smith, Cay Nolan Sokol, and Virginia<br />
Looney Weamer. We had a lot of fun<br />
reliving our student days, looking at<br />
pictures, and just reminiscing. We<br />
recalled our friends who have left this<br />
world and whom we miss. (I could<br />
not but hope that there was a class<br />
of ’50 Reunion going on in Heaven as<br />
we celebrated in Weston, MA.) Marie<br />
Canane came the greatest distance—<br />
California. Gerry Mullin Cornes drove<br />
up from Baltimore, MD, at 2 a.m.,<br />
picked up Nancy Gaynor McGuire in<br />
CT, and arrived at <strong>Regis</strong> at noon in<br />
time for the Golden Tower Luncheon.<br />
I call that a heroic effort. Gerry loves<br />
to drive and regaled us with stories<br />
of her trips with grandchildren and<br />
dogs. ¶ We heard from Dottie Higgins<br />
Conroy, who had planned to attend<br />
but was sidelined at the last minute<br />
with a very bad cold. Celia McCarthy<br />
Cleary was recovering from a broken<br />
hip, and both Barbara Shea Vines and<br />
Mary Kilcoyne Choquette were unable<br />
to join us because of illness but<br />
wished to be remembered to everyone.<br />
Claire McNamara Connell is having<br />
problems with her eyes and couldn’t<br />
make the trip. Lois Vachon Ward is<br />
in assisted living and sends her best.<br />
Anne Stingel Bolton, always a faithful<br />
attendee, missed Reunion because<br />
of back problems. Jackie Choquette<br />
Picard worked hard on the Reunion<br />
planning but was unable to attend<br />
because of a previously planned family<br />
event. We really missed all of you<br />
who were unable to join us and hope<br />
to see you at the next get-together. ¶<br />
Cay Nolan Sokol, our class president,<br />
conducted our class meeting, and<br />
we felt she has done such a good job<br />
that we asked her to continue. Alice<br />
Boyce Smith presented an impressive<br />
treasurer’s report and would welcome<br />
any math major to audit it. She also<br />
agreed to continue. Many thanks for<br />
all your hard work, Cay and Alice. ¶<br />
We received a lovely note from Celia<br />
Tseng Teng from Long Beach, CA; she<br />
sends her love and best wishes. Her<br />
husband has died, and she now lives<br />
alone but entertains her 3 children, 9<br />
grandchildren, and 1 great-grandchild<br />
often. She loves gardening and is<br />
mastering the computer. Alfreda<br />
talked with Margaret Coppinger<br />
Murphy from Naples, FL; her husband<br />
is not well. They have 7 children and<br />
5 grandchildren. Alfreda discovered<br />
that Margaret had worked summers<br />
in a hotel in Magnolia where Alfreda<br />
now lives. ¶ Alfreda flew to San<br />
Francisco in Aug. to attend the wedding<br />
of her granddaughter. She spent<br />
the rest of the time traveling the coast<br />
sightseeing with her family. ¶ Alice<br />
Boyce Smith’s oldest granddaughter,<br />
Lyndsay Mills McNiff, was married<br />
July 22 in a beautiful ceremony in<br />
CT. Lyndsay is the oldest daughter<br />
of Alice’s oldest daughter and had all<br />
nine of Alice’s beautiful granddaughters<br />
in the wedding. A few weeks later<br />
Alice had a pacemaker inserted in<br />
her heart; this came as a complete<br />
surprise and fortunately she is feeling<br />
well again. ¶ My (Mary) oldest granddaughter,<br />
who graduated Holy Cross<br />
in 2006, has left a promising business<br />
career in Chicago to enroll in graduate<br />
school at U of Pennsylvania. She<br />
is in a master’s program to prepare to<br />
teach history to inner-city high school<br />
students. She has 4 grandparents<br />
who were educators, so it was not a<br />
complete surprise that she decided<br />
on that field. And 3 of us taught high<br />
school. Another granddaughter, a<br />
2008 UMass–Amherst grad, received<br />
class notes<br />

her Ed.M in elementary and special<br />
education from Rivier <strong>College</strong> in<br />
Nashua in May. ¶ We haven’t heard<br />
from Marie De Montigny Murray in a<br />
long time. But no wonder: she, her<br />
husband, and their 5 children have<br />
been living in France, Germany, and<br />
Spain for many years but now are<br />
back in the States. What a wonderful<br />
opportunity they have had to learn<br />
different customs and languages! We<br />
hope Mary can join us at a future<br />
class meeting. ¶ And speaking of class<br />
meetings, Cay is arranging for us to<br />
get together on Thursday, Sept. 23, at<br />
the Student Union on campus. We all<br />
will be getting a letter soon concerning<br />
this. We hope as many of us as<br />
possible will attend. At this time of<br />
our life we should seize every opportunity<br />
to enjoy life and be thankful for<br />
our blessings. ¶ Jackie, Alfreda, and<br />
I continue to be class correspondents,<br />

60th Reunion Class<br />
✒ Marie Barbano Tassinari, 2 Bellevue<br />
Road, Arlington, MA 02476 ¶ The<br />
day was a glorious one, sitting at<br />
Lighthouse Beach in Chatham waiting<br />
a sighting of the great white<br />
sharks who were threatening the<br />
Cape shores and the innocent seals.<br />
A light breeze, bright blue sky with<br />
puffy white clouds, and a calm sea!<br />
All this put me into a reflective mood.<br />
Then it came, not the sharks but<br />
the reality that my copy for <strong>Regis</strong><br />
Today was due. Now this is reality.<br />
So here I am again. ¶ For the past<br />
4 years it has been my task to bring<br />
you a glimpse into the lives of some<br />
of our classmates. Perhaps this is the<br />
time to apologize that too few of you<br />
have made these pages. Forgive me;<br />
my successor will surely do a better<br />
job. ¶ Nonetheless, we have heard of<br />
the lives of some of our classmates.<br />
You have read of their joys and even<br />
sadness, and followed their delightful<br />
years with their beloved spouses,<br />
their pride as mothers and now<br />
as grandmothers. We have taken<br />
note of the achievements of those<br />
who pursued careers as well as our<br />
classmates who toil for the Lord. ¶<br />
In looking back we ’51ers have led<br />
varied and interesting lives as well<br />
as productive ones in our families<br />
and workplaces, and in the society<br />
in which we live. We ’51ers have left<br />
our mark! Who would have known<br />
back in those <strong>Regis</strong> days what would<br />
have become of that “class full of fun”!<br />
¶ I told you earlier that beach scene<br />
made me reflective—a look now at<br />
the present. Ann Brown Janes, we are<br />
happy to report, has survived a near<br />
drowning. Ann, do take care. We need<br />
our class historian. ¶ Margie Linney<br />
Carroll, although fighting a serious illness,<br />
did take her trip to the Passion<br />
Play in Oberammagau and enjoyed<br />
it immensely. But she did return<br />
to flood conditions at her Lakeville<br />
summer home. Margie continues all<br />
of her activities, grateful she can<br />
still do so. ¶ Our class baby, Barbara<br />
Coolen Corrado, recently celebrated<br />
her birthday with her family, who<br />
helped blow out all 80 candles. I<br />
presume most of us had that experience<br />
this year. Actually, being 80<br />
isn’t that bad at all. Maybe! ¶ The<br />
Boston area group attended the Tower<br />
Luncheon at <strong>Regis</strong>. It is an event not<br />
to be missed. The gals attending were<br />
Ann Downey Tierney (recovering from<br />
back surgery), Barbara Phair McCarthy,<br />
Florence Kelly McKenna, Ann Brown<br />
Janes, Barbara Palmer Schlichte, Pat<br />
Chisholm, Joan Williamson Horsman,<br />
and Janice McBride Power. ¶ Our class<br />
president, Janice McBride Power,<br />
presided over a class meeting; the<br />
main matter of business was our<br />
60th Reunion. You read it correctly,<br />
our 60th. Please pay special attention<br />
to future communications from<br />
the college containing important<br />
information about the college, a new<br />
president, and Reunion plans. Save<br />
the date, May 2011. ¶ This last report<br />
would be sorely incomplete without<br />
kudos to Mary Lee McLaughlin Girouard<br />
for her successful endeavors as our<br />
Class Fund Representative. No easy<br />
task! This year she continued to<br />
perform her job above and beyond—<br />
even through Armand’s illness. Mary<br />
Lee, you are a wonder! Let us ’51ers<br />
continue our support of <strong>Regis</strong> and<br />
put a large smile on Mary Lee’s face,<br />
especially in our Reunion year. A<br />
special thanks to Mary Lee from this<br />
class reporter for all your assistance—<br />
my dear ghostwriter. ¶ Living to be 80<br />
years old has taught us many lessons.<br />
We learned life can be beautiful, but<br />
not at all times or for all of us. Surely<br />
we have felt the threat of the great<br />
white shark. However, at the present<br />
time too many of our classmates and<br />
their families are actually experiencing<br />
the sting of the shark in the form<br />
of serious illness. I ask you sincerely<br />
to tuck these old <strong>Regis</strong> friends into<br />
your daily prayers. ¶ Thank you all<br />
for being you, the <strong>Regis</strong> Class of 1951.<br />
I look forward to seeing many of you<br />
at our 60th Reunion, May 2011.<br />

✒ Ann Purcell Macdonald, 2001 Falls<br />
Boulevard #455, Quincy, MA 02169<br />
617-479-0339 ¶ It is with joy that I<br />
report good news concerning a very<br />
special member of our class, Sister<br />
Mary Hart of the Sisters of Good<br />
Shepherd. Sister received an honorary<br />
degree at the 2010 Boston <strong>College</strong><br />
graduation. Tribute was paid to her<br />
for how she has “lived her life.” Mary<br />
worked for some years in an afterschool<br />
program for disadvantaged<br />
youths and dedicated her life to these<br />
young people, whom she considers<br />
her family. She is serving at St.<br />
Katherine Drexel Parish in West<br />
Roxbury. Mary also received an award<br />
in Nov. 2009 from Cardinal Sean<br />
O’Malley for her leadership in the<br />
African-American community. This<br />
award was given in recognition of<br />
the after-school program she started<br />
and for her dedication to education<br />
in the black Catholic community.<br />
Mary, we are proud to have you as a<br />
special member of our class. When<br />
I talked with Mary, she was looking<br />
forward to a vacation at Seabrook,<br />
NH, with her family. She planned<br />
to drive to Hampton Beach to spend<br />
some time with Mary Foley Noon and<br />
Patricia Hogan Hogan. ¶ I spoke with<br />
Sally Finnerty Tully in PA. She spends<br />
about 3 days each week helping her<br />
daughter, Beth, with her three children.<br />
Beth lives in upstate NY, but<br />
Sally happily makes the trip. ¶ We<br />
had a wonderful time at the Golden<br />
Tower Luncheon in May. About 14<br />
classmates showed up. However, I<br />
lost the list of names. Forgive me.<br />
Patricia Donovan Bondelevitch sat<br />
next to me, so I know that she was<br />
there looking especially well. She<br />
is happy with her new home in NH<br />
and is now a serious gardener. Well,<br />
maybe not too serious. It was fun to<br />
share some laughs and memories with<br />
her. ¶ A class meeting was held after<br />
the luncheon. The raffle prize, won<br />
by Jill McKearin Paredes, was a lovely<br />
painting done by Antoinette Navarro<br />
Campbell. The 2011 raffle will be for a<br />
fleece Red Sox throw donated by Marie<br />
Fleming Sisk. ¶ Marie Rizzo called and<br />
is serving on the Board of Morality in<br />
the Media. Her sister Rita is president.<br />
They work on violence in the<br />
media and its effects on family values.<br />
Marie was enthused about a dinner<br />
run in June 2010 where they had 3<br />
speakers, including the sheriff from<br />
her area. Marie keeps in touch with<br />
Antoinette Navarro Campbell, who<br />
devotes much of her time to her twin<br />
grandchildren, who are no longer at<br />
Perkins School for the Blind and are<br />
now doing well at Bunker Community<br />
<strong>College</strong>. Antoinette is very proud<br />
of the girls. It is very motivating<br />
to talk to members of our class. ¶ I<br />
reached Jill McKearin Paredes, who<br />
was enthusiastic about a meeting<br />
in May cosponsored by the Scituate<br />
and Weymouth Voice of the Faithful.<br />
The speaker was James Carroll, who<br />
educated more than 200 people with<br />
his talk on Vatican II, which Jill said<br />
was inspiring. He also referenced
his new book, Practicing Catholics. ¶<br />
Jill had recently spoken with Nancy<br />
Quinn O’Keefe, who came to the May<br />
Tower Luncheon even though our<br />
chauffeur, Jill, was suffering from<br />
painful back problems and unable to<br />
attend. Of course, we have our other<br />
South Shore driver, Marie Fleming<br />
Sisk—so we are always ready to go.<br />
¶ I would love to hear from other<br />
’52ers, so please call or write to me.<br />
¶ Before I close, I would recommend<br />
that you read the beautiful articles<br />
on Sister Therese Higgins in the<br />
spring/summer issue of <strong>Regis</strong> Today.<br />
Mention is made of Sister Flavia.<br />
I found the write-ups so touching<br />
and inspirational. Their lives are<br />
what <strong>Regis</strong> is all about. ¶ And so my<br />
friends, as most of us will be 80 this<br />
year, HAPPY BIRTHDAY… Exercise.<br />
Energize.<br />
1953<br />
✒ Shirley Connors Sardella, 52 Eunice<br />
Circle, Wakefield, MA 01880, 781-224-<br />
3468 ¶ As I write I hear midsummer’s<br />
gentle wind and cannot believe you<br />
will read <strong>Regis</strong> Today sometime in<br />
autumn. Thanksgiving and Christmas<br />
plans will undoubtedly be spinning<br />
around in our minds by then. ¶ We<br />
remember in sorrow our recently<br />
deceased classmates. Barbara Lynch<br />
Flynn died on Good Friday, Apr. 2,<br />
2010. Sister Katherine Higgins, CSJ,<br />
died on Apr. 14, 2010. Anne Ward Ward<br />
died on May 20, 2010. We will never<br />
forget their vibrancy and zest for life.<br />
May they rest in the peace of Christ.<br />
¶ Joan Carroll McAuliffe writes about<br />
her extensive travels, and I will share<br />
her experiences with you. “A year ago<br />
this Feb. I was on a cruise through the<br />
Panama Canal instead of waiting for a<br />
snowstorm! It’s amazing to see passenger<br />
and container ships being raised<br />
and lowered as they pass through the<br />
locks on their way east and west. In<br />
Costa Rica we toured banana plantations<br />
and went by boat through the<br />
rain forest, sighting monkeys, toucans,<br />
sloths, and crocodiles. We enjoyed an<br />
afternoon in an Embera Indian village<br />
and joined native songs and dances. A<br />
day in Cartagenia, Columbia, brought<br />
us to the historic walled city, the<br />
mighty San Felipe fortress and an<br />
ancient Spanish monastery. Of course,<br />
we shopped for emeralds. Stops in<br />
Aruba and Jamaica filled out our trip.<br />
¶ In Oct. of 2009 my friend (my son-inlaw’s<br />
mother) and I journeyed to the<br />
Mediterranean and Aegean seas. After<br />
4 days touring Rome, we sailed from<br />
the Port of Rome to the gorgeous Isle<br />
of Capri and on to the boutiques, cafes,<br />
and flower-filled streets of Sorrento.<br />
A stop at the Cameo factory near<br />
Pompeii was most interesting. On a<br />
walking tour of the ruins of Pompeii,<br />
we explored the villas, theaters, and<br />
baths of this buried Roman city. ¶<br />
We cruised the Mediterranean Sea<br />
and stopped in Athens, where we<br />
climbed the 80 steps of the Acropolis<br />
to the Parthenon. Later, we dined<br />
on a traditional Greek feast and<br />
then strolled the cobbled lanes of the<br />
Plaka, home to shops and boutiques.<br />
On our stop in Ephesus, Turkey,<br />
we walked the marble roads of the<br />
ruins of this Roman capital. Here St.<br />
Paul preached to the Ephesians in<br />
the Great Theater and St. John the<br />
Apostle was buried. We visited the<br />
House of the Virgin Mary, a shrine<br />
recognized by the Vatican as the final<br />
resting place of Mary. ¶ The Grand<br />
Bazaar in Istanbul, Turkey, was a<br />
shopper’s paradise. The Blue Mosque<br />
entrance, adorned with 6 minarets<br />
was impressive. The climax of our<br />
trip was docking at Port Said, Cairo,<br />
and traveling overland to the Great<br />
Pyramid at Giza. It was, indeed,<br />
an awesome sight to see the pyramids<br />
rising from the desert. We also<br />
enjoyed the view from on top of a<br />
camel’s back! We stood amazed at the<br />
sight of the Sphinx, thought to guard<br />
the Pharaoh. We relaxed for lunch on<br />
a Nile riverboat. It was a totally memorable<br />
trip.” Thank you, Joan, for your<br />
fascinating letter. ¶ Lenore Walton<br />
McCormack wrote from California<br />
about Anne Ward Ward’s death on<br />
May 20. Lenore attended Anne’s<br />
memorial mass and will deeply miss<br />
her. Lenore also wrote about her fabulous<br />
trip to MA for a reunion with her<br />
two younger sisters. They had<br />
a wonderful journey together<br />
through the Berkshires and<br />
southern VT. She enjoys reading<br />
<strong>Regis</strong> Today and hopes the<br />
northeast summer heat wave<br />
wasn’t too difficult. Palos Verdes<br />
had a cool summer. Thank you<br />
for writing to us, Lenore. We are<br />
always delighted to hear from<br />
you. ¶ Claire Russell Megan and<br />
Claire O’Connell McAuliffe hosted<br />
a luncheon get-together for our<br />
class on June 3 at the Woodland<br />
Country Club in Newton, MA.<br />
About 19 classmates attended,<br />
even a few from NH and the<br />
Cape. We thank both Claires for<br />
keeping our class together. ¶<br />
Last May, John and I attended our<br />
granddaughter Jennifer’s graduation<br />
from Bucknell University in<br />
Lewisburg, PA. In Aug., our 8th<br />
grandchild, 6-week-old Stephanie,<br />
visited us from Texas along with her<br />
older brother, 28-month-old Jason.<br />
Their parents accompanied them, of<br />
course. ¶ It is with great sadness that<br />
I report the passing of our classmate<br />
Elizabeth Devlin Kenney on Aug. 8,<br />
2010. ¶ Until next spring, please stay<br />
healthy and continue to send news.<br />

“What happened to Janet.” Well, she<br />
retired, and I have taken her place.<br />
I will try to fill her shoes, but it will<br />
be difficult. ¶ Our 55th Reunion in<br />
May was a great success. From the<br />
opening luncheon in the foyer on<br />
Friday to the final event on Sunday,<br />
it was fun. There were about 26 of us<br />
there, and it was good to be together<br />
again. As usual, Rosalie L’Ecuyer came<br />
the farthest. She reports that she<br />
stopped in at the Spellman Stamp<br />
Museum during her stay and a week<br />
later the museum posted a visit from<br />
a member from Alaska. We all know<br />
who that was! At our class meeting it<br />
was suggested that we might include<br />
more specific information about our<br />
classmates, so that will be added, but<br />
we will still focus on our thoughts<br />
and ideas. ¶ “If you could be any<br />
age, what age would you be? Why?”<br />
This was the question we asked our<br />
classmates. Nancy Roche Buckhoff<br />
says, “I really can’t decide on one<br />
time in my life because there are so<br />
class notes<br />
Living to be 80,<br />
we have learned that<br />
life can be beautiful, but<br />
not at all times, and<br />
not for all of us.<br />
many. I would love to be in college<br />
once again because I loved my 4 years<br />
at <strong>Regis</strong>. I would love to walk down<br />
the aisle with Buck because it was<br />
the beginning of our life together. And<br />
last but not least, I would love to be<br />
young enough to have more children.<br />
Might sound crazy, but that’s how<br />
I feel.” ¶ Nancy Goggin Lane writes,<br />
“In response to your question, I think<br />
I will stay where I am and ‘bloom<br />
where I’m planted!!!’ Happy that I am<br />
on my way out, and disappointed in<br />
the direction this country is headed.<br />
Our grandchildren deserve much<br />
better than this!” ¶ Janet Condrey<br />

REGIS TODAY<br />
Beyer tells us, “What age would I like<br />
to be? I would like to be a combination.<br />
I liked being 15 because of the<br />
fun and freedom I had biking and<br />
swimming, simple summer work,<br />
traveling in packs with friends, and<br />
being thin enough that ice-cream<br />
sodas were not a problem. But for<br />
mental age, I prefer the stability<br />
of being 60. By the time I was 60 I<br />
had the maturity to know what my<br />
Gloria Ricker Gramaglia’s ’57<br />
next trip is to Denmark<br />
and St. Petersburg<br />
bypassing the<br />
fires of Moscow.<br />
abilities were, what I was able to<br />
accomplish, and was secure in family<br />
and friends. So the body and freedom<br />
of 15 and the maturity of 60 would<br />
be a perfect combination.” ¶ Barbara<br />
Kelley Kelley says, “You have come up<br />
with a question to make us ponder.<br />
Thank you. My ideal age was 63.<br />
That began my retirement from the<br />
job which I had loved, teaching. A<br />
new world stretched before me. Now<br />
I could decide each day what I would<br />
do with my time. Thirteen years<br />
have elapsed full of faith, family, and<br />
friends.” ¶ Jacqui Cyr Lewis chimes<br />
in that she’d like to be 40: “At that<br />
point you have some maturity. You<br />
are your own woman; you’re secure<br />
in your own skin. Childbearing was<br />
done. I had a much better view of<br />
what made people tick. I was more<br />
tolerant of people’s differences.” ¶<br />
Peg Vincent Kelley believes it’s late<br />
50s, early 60s. “By then the kids were<br />
on their own, Jim was alive, and we<br />
were both healthy and living the good<br />
life.” ¶ This is our column. If you have<br />

foyer of <strong>College</strong> Hall in Mar. to celebrate<br />
the life of Pat Murphy Capone.<br />
Her devoted husband, Roger, other<br />
family members, and classmates<br />
Mary Rose Campbell and Pat<br />
Turner Kelley shared happy<br />
memories from Pat’s life. Pat<br />
will be remembered for the<br />
warm personality and sense<br />
of humor which she displayed<br />
even as her physical health<br />
deteriorated. We continue to<br />
pray for Pat and her family.<br />
¶ A strong <strong>Regis</strong> alumni<br />
presence was seen in Naples,<br />
FL, this winter. Pat Limerick<br />
Skelly, Carole Settana Scollins,<br />
Mary Keenan, and I were able<br />
to attend the Annual Alumni<br />
Reception at The Pelican<br />
Bay Club. A large contingent<br />
from President Mary Jane<br />
England’s 50th Reunion Class<br />
was also in attendance. Many of them<br />
had ridden on the “<strong>Regis</strong> Trolley”<br />
in the St. Patrick’s Day Parade the<br />
day before. Should we join them<br />
next year? ¶ Mary Keenan, Carole<br />
Scollins, and I were also able to catch<br />
up with Bunny O’Rourke Valente and<br />
Virginia Crago Roberts at the Naples<br />
Beach Club for what is becoming<br />
our annual luncheon. Hope we can<br />
expand the group next year. ¶ Candy<br />
Dillon Mattaliano proudly announces<br />
the arrival of grandchild number 11.<br />
Baby Elizabeth was born on July 2 to<br />
daughter Caitlin and her husband,<br />
Tucker. ¶ Foreign travel continues to<br />
attract many of our classmates. In<br />
between working and playing golf, Pat<br />
Kelley was planning a cruise in Oct.<br />
This fabulous 18-day trip was to originate<br />
in Rome and end in Istanbul.<br />
Sounds very exotic! Pat enjoyed an<br />
Aug. visit from Laurie Pickett Pinover<br />
and husband Stan, who were in<br />
town with their grandson while he<br />
interviewed at Boston area colleges.<br />
¶ Mary Lou Rawson is putting on her<br />
traveling shoes for an Oct. trip to<br />
Spain with her sister. ¶ Cal and Mary<br />
Keelan Hubbard were off to Turkey<br />
in Sept., planning to spend most of<br />
the time in Istanbul. In Oct.some of<br />
their work in acrylic painting will be<br />
included in an exhibit at the Encino<br />
Festival of Art. Carl and Mary are in<br />
their 5th semester of acrylic painting.<br />
Mary continues to conduct 2 programs<br />
at Holy Spirit Retreat Center: Women<br />
at the Well, a group that meets<br />
monthly for liturgy and small group<br />
discussions centered on spirituality;<br />
and her favorite, Crones at the<br />
Well, which celebrates our aging and<br />
experiences and gathers wisdom to<br />
pass down to our younger generations<br />
of women. What do you do in your<br />
spare time, Mary? ¶ Marie Vasaturo<br />
White was planning a trip to London<br />
in Aug. Her twin granddaughters will<br />
be graduating from Mount Holyoke<br />
the same weekend as our Reunion in<br />
May. Hope we can figure out a way<br />
to see her while she is in the area. ¶<br />
Carol Bonner Connell rented a house<br />
in Ireland in July, where she and 11<br />
members of her family spent 2 weeks.<br />
¶ Mary Jeanne Getzfread Sullivan was<br />
happy to report her husband was on<br />
the mend after serious heart surgery<br />
in July. Our prayers are with John<br />
for a speedy recovery. Mary Jeanne,<br />
the self-described “energizer bunny,”<br />

Healy Sawyer, Virginia Clark Kristo,<br />
Mary Rose Campbell, Mary Keenan,<br />
Mary Joan Coughlan O’Connor, and<br />
your faithful reporter. Dr. Mary<br />
Jane England’s announcement of<br />
her upcoming retirement came as<br />
a surprise. We are grateful and so<br />
proud of all that she has accomplished<br />
for the college during her tenure. She<br />
will truly be missed. ¶ Carol Hughes<br />
Hickey, Mary Keenan, and I were the<br />
only members of our class attending<br />
a delightful Cape Cod luncheon in<br />
July. Carol, who lives in Cotuit now,<br />
was enjoying a visit from her son and<br />
his family, vacationing with her from<br />
Africa, where he works for the U.S.<br />
government. ¶ On a personal note I<br />
had a wonderful visit with Dorothy<br />
Harrington Winrow in Aug. Dottie was<br />
on the Cape with 18 of her family,<br />
children and grandchildren. Her<br />
grandson had been married in NY the<br />
previous weekend, bringing the family<br />
together for an extended vacation.<br />
It was such a pleasure to meet them<br />
and to spend time with Dottie renewing<br />
our friendship of so many years.<br />
She has given up her office in New<br />
York City but continues her practice<br />
of family therapy in her Kingston,<br />
NY, area, a career she began while<br />
raising 5 children. ¶ By now you have<br />
received “Save the Date” notices for<br />
our 55th Reunion in May. Your class<br />
officers met in July to start planning,<br />
and they welcome suggestions from<br />
all of you. As this issue goes to press,<br />
Mary Lou was busily organizing our<br />

Pyne Kaneb hosted a party for our<br />
class at her Surfbreak home to honor<br />
outgoing <strong>Regis</strong> president Mary Jane<br />
England ’59. The surf must have been<br />
breaking that stormy night. But it<br />
was fitting to honor the woman who<br />
most likely saved <strong>Regis</strong>. Imagine if<br />
there was no <strong>Regis</strong>; we would not<br />
have a center to meet for such events<br />
as our fourth Golden Tower Luncheon.<br />
Several of our classmates attended<br />
this lovely <strong>Regis</strong> tradition. Among<br />
those attending were Pat McCarron<br />
Pettersen, Carol Noonan Driscoll,<br />
Carol Young Fradette, Isabel Long<br />
Chesak, Rosemary Weidner Mahoney,<br />
Elly Burke, Anne McNeil Hynes,<br />
Eileen Kelly Moynihan, Jean Volante<br />
O’Connor, Helen Graham McGonigle,<br />
Connie Fontaine Perron, Ginny McGurk<br />
Baker, Nancy Swendeman Loud, Mimi<br />
Iantosca Costa, Alice Scanlon Cogliano<br />
and her daughter Alice Collins, Bebe<br />
Gannon Brady, and me. ¶ Jean was<br />
looking forward to a family trip to<br />
the Berkshires to see her grandson<br />
perform at Jacob’s Pillow. It has been<br />
enjoyable following this young man’s<br />
growth from his days as a boy performing<br />
in the Nutcracker in Boston.<br />
Rosemary’s son was to race in the<br />
Pan Mass Challenge to Provincetown.<br />
And in California, Milda Jasins still<br />
is involved in gym. Not as much she<br />
emailed, but she still believes keeping<br />
fit keeps the years away. Pat also<br />
believes in this, so she must keep<br />
her travel mate on the go. They did<br />
miss the Paris trip I wrote about in<br />
the last column due to some unusual<br />
happenings in Iceland. I think you<br />
can guess its French connection. ¶<br />
Carol Hurd Green keeps mentally fit by<br />
teaching a course at Boston <strong>College</strong>.<br />
S. Caritas Geary helps many people<br />
to keep in good health through her<br />
award-winning role in health care. At<br />
present she is vice-president of the<br />
Sisters of Providence. It is too bad<br />
that Mac Hanlon O’Leary, who had to<br />
spend several months in a nursing<br />
home this past year for leg problems,<br />
did not have the care that S. Caritas<br />
has given. Reports of the good life<br />
come from both sides of the country.<br />
Gloria Ricker Gramaglia finds living<br />
in “Vacationland” an attraction for<br />
her 5 children. She and her husband<br />
find the winter, with its cross-country<br />
skiing, a wonderland. Still loving ME<br />
as they do, they still like to travel to<br />
cool climates. Next trip is to Denmark<br />
and St. Petersburg, bypassing the<br />
fires of Moscow. ¶ On the other end<br />
of the continent, Theresa Silvia Smith<br />
also reports on the good life. She has<br />
3 successful children, including a<br />
daughter who is a lawyer. She and<br />
her husband love to travel and have<br />
been everywhere except China and<br />
Australia. Right now she could use<br />
some of that ME cool air because Aug.<br />
is the hottest month in southern CA<br />
(which is when I am writing this,<br />
although you will read this months<br />
later). ¶ Elly Burke knows that I use<br />
mystery novels as a way of exercising<br />
the brain. So she enthusiastically<br />
advised me to see the film The Girl<br />
with the Dragon Tattoo. Some 2,000<br />
pages of Stieg Larson’s Millennium<br />
Trilogy later, I finally saw the film.<br />
It certainly does keep one thinking.<br />
¶ Sad news from California was the<br />
death of Jack Doyle, Elly Zee’s husband.<br />
He was a wonderful, charming<br />
man who loved to attend our class<br />
Reunions. ¶ Our next class meeting<br />
is a luncheon on Oct. 20. By the time<br />
you read this it will be over, as well as<br />
the Memorial Mass in Nov., a wonderful<br />
<strong>Regis</strong> tradition.¶<br />

MA 01824 ¶ <strong>Regis</strong> has provided our<br />
classmates with many opportunities<br />
to gather together this spring and<br />
summer. The Golden Tower Luncheon<br />
in May was a sumptuous feast in the<br />
foyer, and the only negative note was<br />
a horrendous traffic jam that those<br />
coming from the South Shore and<br />
Cape Cod encountered. In attendance<br />
were Paula Buckley Buckley, Carole<br />
Vannicola Clark, Gail Oliver Corrigan,<br />
Elaine O’Connell Fitzpatrick, Dottie<br />
Hogan Hennessey, Pat Salmon Hillmer,<br />
Joan Meleski Kenney, Mary Jo Kilmain,<br />
Pat Kelly McNulty, Nancy Burke<br />
Norbedo, Margaret Cahill Scanlon, Ann<br />
Smith Tobin, Donna Coffey Young, and<br />
our president, Lou Berube Williams,<br />
who dropped in from NY for lunch! If<br />
you haven’t attended this event in the<br />
past, be sure to mark your calendar<br />
for next year, on May 20, 2011. It is a<br />
marvelous party, always held on the<br />
Friday of Reunion Weekend. ¶ The<br />
next <strong>Regis</strong> gathering, held in July,<br />
was a Sunday afternoon cruise on the<br />
Cape Cod Canal, with a wonderful<br />
jazz band playing en route. George<br />
and Dottie Hennessey, Paul and Pat<br />
McNulty, Tom and Mary Reynolds<br />
Kennedy, and Joan Kenney and Kay<br />
Rosicky Devlin enjoyed the sun and<br />
fun. ¶ Two weeks later a full table<br />
assembled at the Coonamessett<br />
Inn for the Annual <strong>Regis</strong> Cape Cod<br />
Summer Luncheon. Paula Buckley,<br />
Carole Clark, Kay Devlin, Pat<br />
Hillmer, Mary Kennedy, Joan Kenney,<br />
Pat McNulty, and Mary Jo Kilmain<br />
enjoyed the festivities and were<br />
heartened by the positive statistics<br />
regarding enrollment and finances<br />
that President England shared<br />
with the group. ¶ Fiftieth wedding<br />
anniversaries were celebrated by 2 of<br />
our classmates. In July, the family of<br />
Jean Paul and Mary Downing Richard<br />
organized a celebration that included<br />
a renewal of vows. Cathy Crosby<br />
Thompson and Maureen O’Connor<br />
Fitzgerald were able to attend. Also in<br />
July, the children of Paul and Lea Toto<br />
Dmytryck surprised them with a family<br />
party, held a month before their<br />
actual anniversary to throw them off<br />
track. Lea reports that it was the biggest<br />
surprise of her life, and a grand<br />
time was had by all. ¶ Classmates<br />
who have email but have not received<br />
any communications from me during<br />
the past 6 months: this means that<br />
I have no address or a bad address<br />
for you (Marie Hutchinson Jefferson<br />

Paula Kirby Macione reports on some<br />
of our classmates’ travels. Frankie<br />
Boyle Nugent spent a week in Chicago<br />
at a conference for victims of sexual<br />
abuse; Frankie is a coordinator in this<br />
field. Vacation trips included Donna<br />
Young and family enjoying a week in<br />
Aug. at a ranch in CO; Peggy Mosher<br />
Melanson traveling from VA to NJ; and<br />
Maureen Fitzgerald from NH to CO,<br />
both to visit grandchildren. Maureen<br />
also met up with Paula in Palm<br />
Beach Gardens, FL, during Super<br />
Bowl Week. Carole and Paul Clark<br />
enjoyed a vacation in Williamstown<br />
that included the Degas and Picasso<br />
exhibit at the Clark Museum. Paula<br />
Buckley was in Germany in Apr. and<br />
PA in Aug., and in between hosted<br />
a huge 4th of July bash that Paula<br />
M. attended. Highlights of the day<br />
were a wonderful country fair and<br />
great music by the Marshfield School<br />
Bands. ¶ Paula thanks her <strong>Regis</strong><br />

services for her beloved aunt,<br />

saddened to hear this summer of the<br />
passing of our classmate Maryann<br />
Langan Kendrick. Our deepest sympathy<br />
to all her family and friends.<br />
Maryann had been living in AZ for<br />
many years. At <strong>Regis</strong> she was a<br />
beloved member of the West Roxbury<br />
carpool. ¶ Club’s annual Kentucky<br />

Judy, Peggy Harney Morrissey, Marie<br />
Cronin, Maureen O’Connell Palmer,<br />
Anne LaFay Flamand, Trisha O’Hearn<br />
Hilsinger, Janice Canniff Monteith, and<br />
Liz Russell Bilafer. The big winner<br />
this year was Trisha. A trip to the<br />
Herring Run in Brewster, MA, was<br />
disappointing. We thought we were in<br />
time but unfortunately missed it by a<br />
week. We did see one lonely straggler.<br />
¶ Ann Tiernan, who wrote us from her<br />
new home in the Smoky Mountain<br />
area of NC, has had some recent<br />
sadness. Our sympathy to Ann on the<br />
loss of her 2 sisters and her partner.<br />
Ann recently had a hip replacement<br />
but manages to keep herself quite<br />
active—camping in the Southwest<br />
and taking courses at UNCA. She<br />
also sends a message: “Aging is a<br />
delightful opportunity to expand—in<br />
so many ways.” ¶ Congratulations<br />
to Maureen Palmer on the birth of<br />
her new grandson. Welcome, Jack<br />
Palmer! ¶ The monthly luncheons<br />
have been well attended: Venezia in<br />
Dorchester, MA, Tom Shea’s in Essex,<br />
MA, Beacon Grill in Woburn, MA,<br />
and of course the delightful June<br />
lunch at Mary Jane England’s home on<br />
Green Pond in Falmouth, MA. ¶ The<br />
Annual Cape Cod Luncheon was held<br />
this year at the Coonamessett Inn in<br />
Falmouth, MA. As always, our class<br />
was well represented with 2 tables<br />
of ’59ers: Brenda Meade Doherty,<br />
Fran Kopka Parsons, Edna Soraghan<br />
English, Carol Donovan, Margaret<br />
O’Connell, Sherry Furlott Blanchard,<br />
Kay O’Connor Johnson, Barbara O’Neil<br />
Natale, Marilyn Lombardi Nicholas,<br />

Beauchemin. ¶ Jane Beauchemin, who<br />
was coming along so well after many<br />
months in and out of the hospital,<br />
fell at her home just a week after<br />
the Cape Luncheon. She broke her<br />
hip and was back in the hospital<br />
and rehab again. ¶ A couple of book<br />
suggestions from Liz and Maureen:<br />
Sarah’s Key, by Tatiana deRosnay,<br />
and The Forgotten Garden, by Kate<br />
Morton. ¶ <strong>Regis</strong> celebrated St.<br />
Patrick’s Day in fine style and the<br />
Class of 1959 made a great presence.<br />
Have you ever been to the St.<br />
Patrick’s Day Parade in Naples, FL?<br />
Forty thousand joyous folks lined the<br />
street to cheer us on. One man even<br />
hollered out, “I think I dated all of<br />
you!” Perhaps he did. Some ’59ers<br />
walked the route, and others rode the<br />
<strong>Regis</strong> Trolley. The night before the<br />
parade Jeannette Duffy Hartigan and<br />
her husband, Dick, graciously hosted<br />
a cocktail party for the ’59ers at their<br />
beautiful penthouse overlooking the<br />
Gulf of Mexico. On Sunday <strong>Regis</strong> held<br />
a luncheon at the Club Pelican Bay.<br />
What a fabulous weekend! Enjoying<br />
the festivities during the<br />

Schlueter, who has a home on<br />

luncheon on Sunday. Everyone<br />
is looking forward to the next<br />
parade in Naples. The parade is<br />
March 12, 2011, so get on your<br />
walking shoes and come down<br />
and join the fun. ¶ Our next<br />

about THE Reunion: A MARVELOUS<br />
TIME. Altogether there were about<br />
74 attendees from our class during<br />
the various activities. Now we are<br />
all members of the GOLDEN TOWER<br />
SOCIETY and are eligible for the<br />
Golden Tower Luncheons along with<br />
all the other 50-plus-year graduates.<br />

Memory, President; Ann Hynes, Class<br />
Fund Agent; me, Class Reporter;<br />
Geraldine Pucci Hayes, West Coast<br />
Liaison. Since we have many class<br />
members in FL and the Southeast,<br />
perhaps we can have a liaison from<br />
there. Email me if you are interested!<br />
The objective is to stay in touch,<br />
perhaps have some get-togethers, and<br />
continue the communications and<br />
bonding that began in college days<br />
and is renewed at Reunion and other<br />
gatherings. ¶ What do we remember<br />
from Reunion? The weekend<br />
began with a most moving Liturgy<br />
when a rose was placed on the<br />
altar in memory of the 27 deceased<br />
members of our class. The music of<br />
the Alumnae Chorus was wonderful,<br />
and how inspiring to have our<br />
classmates Anne McIsaac Sullivan and<br />
Clare Mullahy Mungovan as chorus<br />
members, along with Ann’s daughter,<br />
Eileen Sullivan ’85. ¶ Our condolences<br />
go to Louise McMurray Wishneski,<br />
whose husband, Larry, died on Apr.<br />
7 after a 7-year illness. Kay Memory<br />
remembered Nancy Sheehan when she<br />
invited some of the Psych Ed majors<br />
to prep for the Boston Teachers Exam<br />
at her home in West Roxbury, MA.<br />
A Reminder<br />

may be submitted to your class reporter or to<br />

alumni@regiscollege.edu. Notes received after<br />
January 12, 2011 will run in a later issue.<br />
“We practiced with the tests given in<br />
previous years, and all of us passed!”<br />
Our thoughts and prayers are with<br />
Nancy now as she faces serious and<br />
very unexpected medical issues. Her<br />
help and enthusiasm during the planning<br />
sessions of our class Reunion<br />
committee was much appreciated.<br />
¶ Joyce Kennerly Bohan found that<br />
part of the fun was discovering that<br />
classmates were the “same people<br />
with the same pleasant personalities<br />
that I remember from 50 years ago.”<br />
“It was very easy to slip right back<br />
in sync,” she said. ¶ “It seemed to me<br />
that although the <strong>Regis</strong> we knew has<br />
changed, it still remains a part of us<br />
all in so many ways.” Anne McIsaac<br />
Sullivan reported, “My favorite time<br />
was Friday night when everyone<br />
just relaxed. What was more amazing<br />
was to see classmates that we<br />
hadn’t seen or spoken to in 50 years<br />
and to catch up with their lives.” Kay<br />
Memory noted, “The stories about<br />
‘the way we were’ were so interesting!<br />
Having to wear a trench coat<br />
over our gym suits when going to the<br />
playing fields, the black lace mantillas<br />
required for chapel, dressing for<br />
dinner in the dining room, rushing<br />
back from a night out by 10 p.m. so<br />
as to not receive a demerit, etc.” ¶<br />
Maria Migliorini Bonaventura has now<br />
retired from a rewarding career as a<br />
professor at Suffolk University. Carole<br />
Riordan Ressler, who worked for a<br />
while at <strong>Regis</strong>, is now an attorney.<br />
Marcelle Lamoureux Connare looked<br />
the same as she did in her <strong>Regis</strong> days.<br />
She still lives in NH and proudly<br />
introduced her husband, to whom she<br />
was recently married. ¶ Eileen Smith<br />
Dragula made the long trip from CA,<br />
where she and her Marine husband<br />
settled to raise their family. Gerri<br />
Pucci Hayes also came from CA,<br />
where she lives an active life of with<br />
much singing and concert going. ¶<br />
One item of great joy was the smiling<br />
expression from Mary Jane Doherty<br />
Curran as she announced quietly that
she would be married on Aug. 1. A<br />
“surprise shower” for Mary Jane was<br />
held in Maria Hall late on Saturday<br />
night. The gifts were “unique,” the<br />
laughter outrageous. Good wishes<br />
flowed. It was hard to determine<br />
who had more fun, Mary Jane or<br />
those who planned and pulled off the<br />
surprise. On Aug. 1, Mary Jane and<br />
Donald Cameron (her fine, handsome<br />
Scot) tied the knot in Orleans. They<br />
danced, Donald wearing the Cameron<br />
kilt and MJ with his tartan scarf over<br />
her shoulder, and celebrated at the<br />
old boathouse on Wellfleet Harbor<br />
among family and friends. Brenda<br />
McCrann and Pat Kiley Murray were<br />
there. MJ’s only regrets were that<br />
all her <strong>Regis</strong> classmates couldn’t have<br />
been included. ¶ The Saturday night<br />
lobsterbake was memorable in many<br />
ways: the tent at the Tower Gardens,<br />
the plastic utensils augmented by<br />
bricks to open the claws, the fun<br />
atmosphere, and the band! Dancing<br />
and more dancing, even with the<br />
“young waiters” from the food service!<br />
But June Higgins Twinam truly set<br />
the pace with her amazing moves. A<br />
fitting end to a wonderful weekend.<br />
¶ Since then, I met with Ann Marie<br />
Volante O’Neill after her trip to France<br />
and further purchases of the Quimper<br />
pottery which she represents in the<br />
U.S., and with Marilyn Stasio, who<br />
enjoyed her 2 weeks in Truro on the<br />
Cape. Amazingly, Marilyn does not<br />
drive and manages to get around just<br />
fine. She recalled a statement from<br />
the 25th Anniversary grads as they<br />
visited in the dorm Saturday night:<br />
“We’ve been dying to meet the girls<br />
from the sixties generation.” To which<br />
Marilyn added, “What fun to wave the<br />
banner for our revolutionary generation.”<br />
¶ The column cannot be complete<br />
without a thank you, gracias, to<br />
Winnie Murphy and Brenda McCrann,<br />
who saw to the refreshments in the<br />
lounge. From coffee to sodas to other<br />
libations, we were all well cared for.<br />
Thank you again. ¶ Also, Angela <strong>Regis</strong><br />

job as co-chair of the Bayberry<br />
Quilt Guild Quilt Show, which is the<br />
major event sponsored by the guild<br />

¶ I am writing this in Aug. and<br />
thinking that 53 years ago we were<br />
preparing to begin our freshman year<br />
at <strong>Regis</strong> with all the expectations<br />
and anxieties that still accompany<br />
such a momentous occasion in one’s<br />
life. For most of us our years at <strong>Regis</strong><br />
proved to be personally and intellectually<br />
fulfilling, as well as a lot of<br />
fun. By now I hope you have received<br />
material about our 50th Reunion in<br />
May of 2011 and plan to come to some<br />
or all of the activities. Many groups<br />
of classmates have mini reunions,<br />
and one of the annual reunions takes<br />
place around St. Patrick’s Day in<br />
Naples, FL, where a <strong>Regis</strong> contingent<br />
marches/rides in the parade. ¶ Our<br />
classmate Judy Wilson Sullivan hosts<br />
a dinner party for a large group.<br />
This year Eileen Cannon showed up<br />
a week early at Ellie Donahue Foley’s<br />
looking for the parade and party. All<br />
of Eileen’s friends are SHOCKED by<br />
such a rare mistake! ¶ Judith Powers<br />
retired from the Nantucket school<br />

Before the eats and program, I shared<br />
a hug with Carole Kennedy Nassab’s<br />

’60 (who reported that all Nassabs<br />
are well). Then we of ’62 and others<br />
enjoyed the lunch and speaker<br />
before the 4 of us adjourned<br />
to Sue’s to do some planning<br />
for our 50th in 2012. Also<br />
caught a hug with Joan’s<br />
husband, John—and a little<br />
reminiscing regarding their<br />
and their children’s visit to<br />
Maui some years ago and<br />
mine to their Falmouth<br />
spot in 2005. All shared<br />
happy family, volunteer,<br />

for high school graduates entering<br />
accredited academic institutions. She<br />
is also a member of Communities for<br />
Restorative Justice, working with<br />

She and her colleagues help these<br />
offenders understand how their<br />
malfeasance affects other people.<br />

Virginia McNeil Slep ’64<br />
is now devoting her<br />

are indeed a concerned citizen! ¶ Jane<br />
DeMarco Wittreich and her husband,<br />
George, spent 2 weeks this past<br />
spring journeying through France<br />
visiting lesser-known villages and<br />
towns. Jane delighted in conversing<br />
in French with the local folk, while<br />
George enjoyed using the vocabulary<br />
and phrases that he had recently<br />
mastered during his crash course<br />
on Rosetta Stone. ¶ I, Jane O’Hearn<br />
Leger, have had a good summer. I<br />
do one third helping with child care,<br />
mostly camp drop-offs and pickups.<br />
Another third is volunteer work: I<br />
help at a local food pantry run by our<br />
diocese. There are several Haitian<br />
families who come in. Some are<br />
newcomers to the U.S. and have survived<br />
the earthquake. They are so<br />
resilient and strong; I have learned<br />
a lot from them. The last third has<br />
been fun activity. I took up golf upon<br />
retirement. Do not try this at home<br />
as it may be harmful to your mental<br />
health! It gets pretty ugly, but I figure<br />
I have earned the right to be awful.<br />

“You may remember me, Virginia. My<br />
name ‘was’ Sister Louise Melanson,<br />

Marie-Paule Couturier, f.m.a., both<br />
from Canada. Today, I go by Louise<br />
Melanson, as I left the convent in<br />
1983, but I have continued my profession<br />
in education. I taught English as<br />
a second language to French-speaking<br />
students in New Brunswick. In 1970<br />
I obtained my master’s degree in<br />
English literature at the University<br />
of Ottawa. In 1978, I received my<br />
master’s degree in Education from<br />
the U Ottawa, with a major in School<br />
Counseling. I was a school counselor<br />
for 6 years, after which I became<br />
school superintendent for a Sschool<br />
district in the northern part of the<br />
province. I greatly enjoyed all of these<br />
different areas of education: teaching<br />
and, especially during the last 7<br />
years, doing administrative work for<br />
the schools. ¶ I am now fully ‘retired,’<br />
but my agenda still commands many<br />
activities which I enjoy: new volunteer<br />
work with the Archdiocese in the<br />
field of translation, French to English<br />
and vice versa, and recently with the<br />
new project focusing on prevention<br />
of all abuse on children and special<br />
needs persons. My favorite hobbies<br />
are swimming 3 times a week and<br />
playing bridge once a week. Although<br />
advancing in age, I never married and<br />
therefore have no grandchildren.” For<br />

was great to catch up on everyone’s<br />
careers, retirements, and families. ¶<br />
I, Virginia McNeil Slep, have retired<br />
from teaching English and am now<br />
devoting my time to expanding my<br />
private practice in clinical hypnosis.<br />
I’m working with a number of doctors<br />
and therapists in the Boston area and<br />
running hypnosis groups at several<br />
schools, colleges, and hospitals. I’m<br />
also really enjoying taking classes<br />
at <strong>Regis</strong>, in the Lifelong Learning<br />
at <strong>Regis</strong> <strong>College</strong> program. It’s such<br />
fun to be a student at <strong>Regis</strong> again,<br />
and even more fun since there are<br />
no exams, no papers, and no grades.<br />
Last year I took Creative Writing<br />
and Latin Etymology; this fall I’m<br />
taking more Creative Writing and a<br />
course in the Culture of India. If you<br />
live near <strong>Regis</strong>, this is a wonderful<br />
program to become involved in. My<br />
husband, Gary, and I spend a bit of<br />
time traveling to NC these days, since<br />
both our sons and their families live<br />
there now. Brian and his family are in<br />
Charlotte, and Kevin and his family<br />
are in Durham. ¶ Our 50th Reunion is<br />
approaching, and we’ve decided that<br />
we’d like to have a large table with<br />
memorabilia from our <strong>Regis</strong> years. So
please, when you’re cleaning out your<br />
attics and cellars, don’t throw away<br />
anything that we could put on display.<br />
Save that old freshman beanie and<br />
the maroon gym suit and anything<br />
else you think we could use. In addition,<br />
plan to come to our Oct. class<br />
Reunion dinner. It’s always wonderful<br />
to see old friends, and it’s a special<br />
treat when one of our classmates<br />
comes for the first time in decades—<br />
or the first time ever!! Our class has<br />
evolved into a wonderfully caring,<br />
compassionate, supportive group of<br />
women, and you’ll be welcomed not<br />
because you’ve achieved importance<br />
or fame or wealth, but because you’re<br />
one of our own. Hope to see you there!<br />

want to thank Barbara Doran Sullivan<br />
and Marie Shatos for all their efforts<br />
selling the raffle tickets at the event.<br />
The raffle brought in an additional<br />
$2,000 towards our 50th Reunion<br />
class gift. The <strong>Regis</strong> <strong>College</strong> Class of<br />
1965 Fund was started at our 40th<br />
Reunion to fund our 50th Reunion gift<br />

time was had by all at our 45th<br />
Reunion this past May. The Friday<br />
night dinner was well attended, with<br />
about 30 of our classmates gathered<br />
in the faculty dining room at Alumnae<br />
Hall. Mary Lou Burke Stewart was a<br />
welcome sight for those of us who<br />
have not seen her for a while. Janet<br />
White Case will be moving to VA this<br />
fall ,so we will miss her at our Boston<br />
gatherings, but she hopes to make<br />
contact with classmates in the DC<br />
area. Saturday of the Reunion was<br />
a very special day for our class, with<br />
over 40 classmates attending some or<br />
all of the events. In the morning the<br />
2nd annual Barbara Kelleher Hyland<br />
(BKH) lecture was given in the Foyer<br />
by Dr. Carol Hardy-Fanta, Director<br />
of the Center for Women in Politics<br />
and Public Policy at UMass Boston’s<br />
graduate school. Joanne Massey Howes<br />
gave a beautiful tribute to Barbara,<br />
including a video put together by<br />
Patricia McCarthy Jacquart and others<br />
that introduced the program.<br />
After the lecture, we all joined the<br />
Parade of Classes into the Alumni<br />
Luncheon with our special roses<br />
provided by the Reunion committee.<br />
At the luncheon our class was<br />
honored for giving the 3rd largest<br />
class gift to the college from the<br />
Reunion classes, $34,365, just $2,000<br />
shy of 2nd place. Our class meeting<br />
included a talk by Naomie Lebon,<br />
first recipient of the BKH internship<br />
scholarship. She told us about<br />
her internship program at American<br />
University, including her travels to<br />
Syria, Egypt, and Jordan. Also at the<br />
alumni luncheon, Joanne Massey<br />
Howes was presented with the 2009<br />
<strong>Regis</strong> <strong>College</strong> Excellence Award for<br />
her leadership in establishing the<br />
BKH Internship Program and Lecture<br />
series at <strong>Regis</strong>. Donations to the BKH<br />
Internship and Lecture Series can be<br />
sent to <strong>Regis</strong> <strong>College</strong>; designate the<br />
gift for the BKH Program. ¶ Class<br />

night of Reunion included a fantastic<br />
clambake and band under a tent at<br />
Norman Tower. Barbara Milner Elwood<br />
and Lisa Brown Kane danced up a<br />
storm with the waitstaff, rumored to<br />
be students at <strong>Regis</strong>, male students<br />
at that! The lobsters were great and<br />
the music terrific. All of us who where<br />
there are looking forward to the same<br />
event at our 50th and hope more of<br />
our class can join in the fun. Special<br />
thanks to the Reunion committee,<br />
Pat Gaumond Kasierski, Deirdre<br />

Congratulations to Kathy Moynihan<br />

President of our class but also<br />
being elected to the <strong>Regis</strong> Alumni<br />
Association Board of Directors. Carole<br />
Groncki McCarthy and Sally Daily<br />
Buckler will be getting together in<br />
Maryland this fall with Judy Fallon<br />
Niner and, we hope, others from our<br />

and Kathy Henighan had a great trip<br />
to northern India in Feb. Anne Marie<br />
is a superb photographer, and Kathy<br />
has a memory for all the details of<br />
the trip, so the two together had a<br />
great travel adventure that they<br />
shared at Reunion. There is a cruise<br />
to Bermuda from Boston in May<br />

Smith Gunn passed away in Jan. 2010.<br />
She lived in Bradenton, FL, and left<br />
19 nieces and nephews and 19 greatnieces<br />
and great-nephews! She had<br />
been an executive at Sungard. Her<br />
husband, Lawson Gunn, predeceased<br />
her. ¶ Most of the news we received<br />
these past few months has been<br />
reflections about our professor, friend,<br />
and late college president Sister<br />
Therese Higgins. ¶ Marlena Belviso<br />
Santomero said, “I knew her as Sister<br />
Saint Theresa, and I always looked<br />
forward to her lectures on metaphysical<br />
poetry. She was an extremely fine<br />
professor, and like the subject matter<br />
she discussed, her classes were<br />
creative, thought-provoking, well<br />
structured, and witty. Although it<br />
was evident that she was comfortable<br />
in the world of Donne, Marvell, and<br />
Vaughan, it was equally obvious that<br />
she was a strong, capable woman of<br />
the modern era. I was proud to have<br />
majored in English, and I suspect<br />
that the path I followed after graduation<br />
was very much influenced by<br />
class notes<br />
61<br />

REGIS TODAY<br />
this exceptional woman.” ¶ Barbara<br />
Bouchard Haggerty, who sang at the<br />
services, said, “The several eulogies<br />
by friends and family were indeed<br />
very moving. The Alumnae Chorus<br />
sang ‘Holy Ground,’ which was the<br />
hymn requested by St. T. at the Fine<br />
Arts Center groundbreaking. It was<br />
one of her favorites.” ¶ Nancy Brine<br />
Frederickson was also present and<br />
said, “Sister Therese was always a<br />
source of strength and encouragement<br />
for many of us. She would want<br />
us to follow in her footsteps and<br />
help one another.” ¶ Adrienne Butler<br />
was prompted to write and recall<br />
some very happy times at <strong>Regis</strong>.<br />
“As a chemistry major, I never had<br />
the chance to have Sr. St. T in class,<br />
although I was very aware of how<br />
beloved she was by her students,<br />
especially her English majors. What<br />
is amazing to me to read and think<br />
about, is how much she shaped the<br />
lives of our class at a time when the<br />
women’s movement was only beginning.<br />
How many different paths we<br />
have taken! What an interesting journey<br />
it has been! And weren’t we fortunate<br />
to be in that place, at that time,<br />
with such strong women to mentor<br />
us! Looking back from the perspective<br />
of retirement, I am amazed that<br />
I was privileged to be there during<br />
such a remarkable era. Thank you<br />
Sister Therese, and all of the wonderful<br />
women of <strong>Regis</strong>!” ¶ Mary Beth<br />
Cormier said, “After reading all the<br />
remembrances … and yes, the Boston<br />
Globe article was wonderful, I had<br />
to add my memories of Sister. My<br />
background was not firmly planted<br />
in English Lit, although through the<br />
Sisters of Notre Dame de Namur I<br />
had a good base in Shakespeare, the<br />
Iliad, the Odyssey, Cicero, Caesar,<br />
etc. As a math major and then economics<br />
major, I was lucky enough to<br />
have Sr. Therese in English freshman<br />
year. I was having difficulty understanding<br />
and interpreting Sartre<br />
and Chekov, and probably at that<br />
point had no idea who John Donne<br />
was. I made an appointment to see<br />
Sr. and told her of my difficulties in<br />
her class, as if she didn’t know! She<br />
sat and talked, asked me if I liked to<br />
read modern novels, and I told her I<br />
seemed to like John O’Hara paperback<br />
novels. She told me to continue<br />
reading him, add John Steinbeck to<br />
my list, and pick up anything I might<br />
like for my own enjoyment. Through<br />
her, over a period of years, I became<br />
a voracious reader. Still haven’t read<br />
John Donne, or maybe I have and<br />
don’t know it. My career path took<br />
me from being a high school math<br />
teacher, a MOM, and I have been<br />
working in libraries for the past 20<br />
some-odd years. Because I see so<br />
many readers in a day, I’m often<br />
asked what to read next. I also see<br />
the homeless reading James Joyce,<br />
U.S. Civil Code, Bloom’s criticisms<br />
of major works. Sr. Therese Higgins<br />
led me on this path. I never realized<br />
how important she was/is in my life,<br />
and sadly, I never told her. Through<br />
her and her love of English, I have<br />
had an education that has brought<br />
me to meeting new people each day,<br />
people of all walks of life, and that<br />
has enriched my life. I will think of<br />
her as I help those on the other side<br />
of the desk.” ¶ We also had secondhand<br />
reports from the <strong>Regis</strong> phone<br />
bank, which are wonderful to pass<br />
along. Mary Leviness Jones is still<br />
living on Long Island and spends her<br />
time with her many grandchildren.<br />
Maybe she’ll be able to join us for the<br />
next Reunion. Tina Wende Knoll has<br />
2 grandchildren and keeps busy with<br />
her store. ¶ Kathy McFarland Kelly’s<br />
son has just made her a grandmother<br />
for the second time. ¶ Last but not<br />
least, Pat Grosz Korzendorfer is continuing<br />
her life with illness and is an<br />
inspiration to all. She has persevered<br />
throughout her diagnosis and treatments<br />
and has remained funny and<br />
positive. In her reports about chemo,<br />
clinical trials, radiation, tumors, and<br />
more consultations, Pat’s musings<br />
are, “I’m going to glow in the dark<br />
pretty soon! I should be popular at<br />
Halloween!” Pat’s son, daughter, and<br />
granddaughter are all doing well.<br />
Perhaps the lesson learned is that we<br />
are likely to remain the same 40 and<br />
45 years later as we were as college<br />
students, as we can all close our eyes<br />
and see and hear Pat as a teenager<br />
with a constant smile and laugh. ¶<br />

The last issue of <strong>Regis</strong> Today was<br />
excellent. I so enjoyed reading about<br />
Sister Therese Higgins ’47. Although<br />
it was a sad time, it was a celebration<br />
of her life. She was truly a shining<br />
star, and I’m sure we, as a class,<br />
have fond memories of Sister Therese<br />
before she became president of <strong>Regis</strong><br />
<strong>College</strong>. I think I still have a photo<br />
of Sister playing softball during one<br />
of the college picnics at the athletic<br />
field in the days before the change to<br />
street clothes. She left an impression<br />
on us all. ¶ I guess you could say I’m<br />
semiretired again. (I’ll get this right<br />
someday!) I’m more retired than not<br />
but still go in to work when needed.<br />
I’ve been trying to spend more time<br />
at home and with our grandchildren.<br />
What a joy!!! Ted and I are taking<br />
a 21-day trip to Europe, celebrating<br />
our 40th wedding anniversary.<br />
We are staying in Rome, going on<br />
a cruise of the Mediterranean, and<br />
then staying at a villa in Tuscany.<br />
I have tried to learn Italian but so<br />
far have only covered the basics. I’ll<br />
try to report on our trip next time.<br />
¶ I received a lengthy email from<br />
Christine Curran Brandt. She retired<br />
after 38 years in education, the last<br />
18 years as a school principal. After<br />
only 6 months of retirement Christine<br />
started her second career as a school<br />
reviewer for a local company as well<br />
as for the Department of Elementary<br />
and Secondary Education. Christine<br />
works with small teams inspecting<br />
charter schools in MI, NY, and MA,<br />
as well as traditional schools in MA.<br />
She has had the opportunity to work<br />
in Dubai, U.A.E., with the ministry in<br />
private and public schools. On a personal<br />
note, Christine married Jerry<br />
Peek after the death of her first husband,<br />
Rick, and gained two stepchildren.<br />
¶ I’m afraid that’s all I have to<br />
report this go-round. Please send me<br />
some information! I can only report<br />
the information I get. You must have<br />
something to share. We are all busy<br />
with a variety of interests. Some of us<br />
are still actively employed, and some<br />
are enjoying our retirement years.<br />
Have a second career? Traveling?<br />

nqwaystack@comcast.net ¶ With<br />
memories of our 40th <strong>Regis</strong> Class<br />
Reunion and summer activities<br />
behind us, we are looking forward<br />
to 2011. ¶ For this issue I decided to<br />
see what luck I would have seeking<br />
alumnae news via email only<br />
and was pleasantly surprised at<br />
my results. Only half of my contact<br />
information includes email, so please<br />
be certain the Alumni Office has your<br />
email if you have one or, better yet,<br />
send it to me! ¶ First of all, we’d like<br />
to send our prayerful condolences to<br />
Bruce O’Reilly and family upon hearing<br />
of the passing of our classmate<br />
Karen Porcella O’Reilly. ¶ Liz Carr<br />
Hamlin responded quickly to my email<br />
inquiry. She’s living near Portsmouth,<br />
NH, working as Director of Financial<br />
Aid at Great Bay Community <strong>College</strong><br />
in Portsmouth. She loves the area<br />
and invites any <strong>Regis</strong> alums passing
through to give her a call. She’s proud<br />
to say that her 3 children are all well<br />
launched on great lives, although<br />
sadly, all living in different times<br />
zones from hers! Karin lives in Baton<br />
Rouge with husband Neale and 2<br />
grandsons, Rainier and Emmett.<br />
Karin is almost finished with her<br />
PhD at LSU in Curriculum Theory.<br />
Kiley received her PhD from Yale in<br />
May and is now Assistant Professor<br />
of Psychology at the University of<br />
British Columbia in Vancouver. Adam<br />
is a lieutenant in the Air Force, working<br />
as part of the missile program in<br />
Great Falls, MT. He graduated from<br />
Purdue with a degree in Aerospace<br />
Engineering. She was sorry to miss<br />
Reunion, but it fell on the same<br />
weekend as Kiley’s Yale graduation.<br />
She frequently sees Fran Burns and<br />
occasionally visits with Terry Dolan<br />
and Patty Sheridan. ¶ Margot Cleary<br />
has been living in Austin, MN, since<br />
Dec. 1982 and continues to work at<br />
the Hormel Institute, part of the U<br />
of Minnesota. She continues to do<br />
research on the effects of body weight<br />
and food intake on the development of<br />
breast cancer. Her husband, Howard<br />
Brockman, also works at the U of<br />
Minnesota. In anticipation of soon<br />
retiring, they recently purchased a<br />
36-foot RV complete with dishwasher,<br />
washer/dryer, and central vacuum! So<br />
far they have taken some luxury RV<br />
weekend adventures. Son Stephen,<br />
age 19, recently finished his 1st year<br />
at Luther <strong>College</strong> in Decorah, IA,<br />
and Kevin, age 17, will be a senior in<br />
high school. Howard’s daughter Meg<br />
is an MD in the navy with a 1½-year<br />
old son. In considering what to do<br />
during retirement, Margot is taking a<br />
chocolate-making course at Burdick’s<br />
Chocolates in NH. She keeps in<br />
regular contact with Barbara Lipcan<br />
Bagley and last year visited with<br />
Margie Hogan Langelier and husband<br />
Ray while giving a talk at the cancer<br />
center in Albany, NY. Margot returns<br />
to MA several times a year to visit<br />
her mother and 2 sisters. ¶ Michele<br />
McFaull’s big news was about her son<br />
Bill McElnea’s recent marriage to<br />
Fallon Shields of Duxbury, MA. They<br />
now live in DC, where they both work<br />
in public policy. After the wedding,<br />
Michele visited friends in CT before<br />
returning to her home in Salt Spring<br />
Island, BC. She loves the good life in<br />
the beautiful Vancouver, BC, area—<br />
speaking of the sweet air, clear blue<br />
water, and “National Geographic”<br />
experience. ¶ Christine McGill lives<br />
in Newburyport, MA (practically my<br />
neighbor). She recently emailed me<br />
about her travels to Jamaica the<br />
week before the troubles erupted,<br />
speaking of the beauty of the country<br />
and warmth of the people. She<br />
did manage to drive through the<br />
affected neighborhoods and said the<br />
conditions reminded her of scenes<br />
from Slum Dog Millionaire. Chris<br />
was happy to say that her daughter,<br />
Makala, who is a pharmacist for<br />
Walgreens, just transferred from<br />
Portland, OR, to Portland, ME. ¶ Last<br />
Jan., Suzanne Gautreau moved into a<br />
newly built home at The Pinehills in<br />
Plymouth, MA, where she wants to<br />
live when she’s retired. She loves the<br />
active community there. Suzanne still<br />
works full time as Administrative<br />
Manager of the Vascular Surgery<br />
Division at Mass. General Hospital.<br />
She commutes by train each day from<br />
Kingston, feels the long commute<br />
is worth it as the area is so beautiful.<br />
She keeps in contact with Nancy<br />
Cotter, who retired about 4 years<br />
ago from teaching 8th-grade math in<br />
Walpole. Nancy now divides her time<br />
between Cape Cod and<br />
South Easton. ¶ Patty<br />
Hanifey and I had lunch<br />
with Nancy McCallum<br />
Brenerman and Kathy<br />
Dobbyn Bouchard in<br />
Portland, ME, just after<br />
Reunion Weekend. Their<br />
big news is that Nancy<br />
has a new position with<br />
Unum Insurance, and<br />
Kathy is finally retired<br />
after over 35 years in<br />
the Portland school<br />
system. Kathy was a new<br />
grandmother last year,<br />
and Patty’s daughter,<br />
Megan, just had twins<br />
last July to keep sister<br />
Sally, 2 years old, company. ¶ Peter<br />
and I traveled to Italy for 12 days<br />
last summer, starting out with 4 days<br />
in Capri to attend a family birthday,<br />
then on to Lake Como, Verona, then a<br />
final few days in Milan. ¶ That’s it for<br />
now.... I do hope to hear from some<br />
of you out there who have been too<br />
silent over the years!<br />

401-467-6316, smsaun@aol.com ¶ Last<br />
June we received the sad news of the<br />
death of our classmate Jean F. Ryan.<br />
Though Jean left <strong>Regis</strong> during our<br />
junior year I am sure she is remembered<br />
by many of you. Our sympathy<br />
is extended to her family and friends.<br />
¶ It has been suggested many times<br />
that we create a Facebook page<br />
for our class, and thanks to Patty<br />
DiNicola Douillet we now have one.<br />
Join us at <strong>Regis</strong> <strong>College</strong> Class of 1972<br />
to connect with old friends and post<br />
family pictures and old photos from<br />
our <strong>Regis</strong> days. Remember that <strong>Regis</strong><br />
also has Facebook pages—<strong>Regis</strong><br />

has persevered through<br />
cancer with humor: “I’m<br />

where you can keep up with news and<br />
events at the college. ¶ Patty Douillet<br />
had a busy spring and summer<br />
visiting with her children. Billy is a<br />
sommelier at the highly rated Alinea<br />
restaurant in Chicago. He planned<br />
to run the Chicago marathon in Oct.<br />
with Roger and Patty there to cheer<br />
him on. Patty regularly visits Nicole,<br />
a VP at Credit-Suisse, at her home<br />
in Manhattan and spent much of the<br />
summer at Nicole’s summer place<br />
on the North Fork of Long Island.<br />
Patty’s 60th was celebrated with a<br />
week of fine dining with family and<br />
friends and capped off with a very<br />
fine wine selected by her expert son.<br />
She and Roger were also planning<br />
to travel to France this fall to visit<br />
Roger’s relatives in Alsace. In June,<br />
Patty will be retiring as the library<br />
media specialist at Pittsfield HS.<br />
She wanted us to know that Helen<br />
McKenna Berube’s daughter Kathleen<br />
was married in Oct. 2009 and is an<br />
elementary school teacher in Queens.<br />
Like their mothers, Kathleen and<br />
Nicole are very close friends. Helen’s<br />
daughter, Mary Beth, is completing<br />
her nursing degree, and son Mark<br />
works in finance in Boston. He is also<br />
the father of a beautiful little girl.<br />
Helen would be so very proud of all<br />

of them; it’s hard to believe she has<br />
been gone for 10 years. ¶ A few other<br />
classmates shared their 60th celebrations<br />
with us. John and Kristin Jones<br />
Rulison, who both turn 60 this year,<br />
planned to travel to Italy in Sept.<br />
Last Mar., Fairlie Dalton lived out her<br />
fantasy to have dinner in Paris on her<br />
60th birthday. During their celebratory<br />
trip to London, she and husband<br />
Fran took the Euro star train through<br />
the Chunnel to Paris to have her official<br />
birthday dinner in Montmartre.<br />
Fran jokes that Fairlie’s first “senior<br />
discount” was for the Chunnel to<br />
Paris. Fairlie continues to work at<br />
the Northeast Housing Court as the<br />
Fairlie Dalton’s ’72<br />
first “senior discount”<br />
was for the<br />
Chunnel to Paris.<br />
First Assistant Clerk-Magistrate.<br />
Kathy Duggan Kattany and I celebrated<br />
our Aug. birthdays with<br />
“surprise” parties given by family and<br />
friends. The “girls” from Domitilla<br />
second floor front converged at Mary<br />
Basler Baxter’s lovely Cape Elizabeth,<br />
ME, home in June to celebrate<br />
their collective 60th birthdays. In<br />
attendance were Mary Baxter, Leslie<br />
Hyland Bennett, Rita Kennedy Burke,<br />
Jane Thompson Doyle, Kathy Markt<br />
Haddad, Maureen O’Malley Kelly, Mary<br />
Anne Thompson Razook, and Mary Lou<br />
Randall. The festivities included their<br />
own version of karaoke, a lobster<br />
bake, a walking and shopping tour of<br />
Portland, a flaming birthday cake, a<br />
Yankee swap, and nonstop laughter<br />
and reminiscing! They also did a<br />
photo shoot designed to match their<br />
group graduation photo—both of<br />
which can be seen on our Facebook<br />
page. Sounds like it was a fun weekend,<br />
ladies! ¶ Sharon McDede Kolor is<br />
expecting her 6th grandchild, a girl,<br />
in mid Dec. courtesy of her daughter<br />
Bonnie. The proud grandparents will<br />
make the trip to NJ in Jan. to meet<br />
her. That is, if Sharon can still walk!<br />
She and Rich plan to go to Peru to<br />
see Machu Picchu over Christmas.<br />
They apparently don’t sit still for<br />
long, having traveled to the Czech<br />
Republic, Slovakia, and Hungary last<br />
summer. It was a trip that Sharon<br />
says was awesome and finally made<br />
all those things she learned in history<br />
come to life. ¶ Linda Godoy has<br />
surfaced! She remarried 2 years ago<br />
and lives in upstate NY, where she<br />
works in sales and marketing for a<br />
regional health care system selling<br />
retirement community independent<br />
and assisted living apartments. She<br />
was eagerly anticipating celebrating<br />
the Sept. marriage of her oldest<br />
daughter, Leigh, and looking forward<br />
to 4 days of friends and family<br />
gathering in Saratoga Springs for the<br />
joyous occasion. Leigh and husband<br />
Keith will reside in Palo Alto, CA,<br />
where Leigh is a District Manager<br />
for Health Point Pharmaceutical Co.<br />
Linda’s youngest daughter lives in<br />
Boston and works in HR for Raytheon<br />
Defense Systems. ¶ Susan Dowd<br />
Stone has sold her home in<br />
NJ to live more full-time in<br />
her upstate NY retirement<br />
home. She will maintain a<br />
small apartment in Tenafly<br />
while she continues working<br />
for a few years. ¶ Since<br />
losing her mother and a<br />
brother several years ago,<br />
Kathy Ryan Niermeyer has<br />
been bitten by the bug—<br />
the genealogy bug! Last<br />
summer, she made her 3rd<br />
trip to Canada to research<br />
family history, meet distant<br />
cousins, and visit the farm<br />
once owned by her great-grandfather<br />
after he immigrated to Canada from<br />
Ireland in the 1800’s. Anyone who<br />
has done any genealogy knows how<br />
emotional it can be to stand on the<br />
same ground as family that came<br />
before us. Her research continues,<br />
but life went back to reality in Sept.<br />
with the start of a new job teaching<br />
French at Whittier Voc. Tech in<br />
her hometown of Haverhill. Kathy’s<br />
husband and sons are all doing<br />
well. Scott graduated from Western<br />
New England <strong>College</strong>, bought a<br />
house in Suffield, CT, and is doing<br />
inside sales at a company in nearby<br />
Windsor. Greg will be finishing his<br />
degree in Political Science at UMass<br />
Amherst in Dec. and Matt works<br />
as an engineering technician with<br />
his dad at a company in Billerica.<br />
¶ Maria Zodda married John Millar,<br />
her long time partner, on May 22 on<br />
Nantucket. She is also announcing<br />
the engagement of her son, Ethan<br />
Griffin, to Bridgette Hynes. They<br />
reside on Nantucket. Ethan works for<br />
Chip Webster Assoc. and is a licensed<br />
architect for the state of MA, having<br />
recently passed all his examinations<br />
for this distinction. Bridgette works<br />
for the Nantucket Artists Association.<br />
The couple is planning on a winter<br />
wedding. ¶ That’s it for this report.<br />
My thanks to all who sent news. I<br />
look forward to hearing from more of<br />
you. And, for the final time this year:<br />
Happy 60th everyone! Be well!<br />

of our graduation day in ’73 found<br />
her on a flight to Italy, where she<br />
reconnected with her Syrian beau in<br />
Florence, where she had spent her<br />
junior year. They were married in<br />
1975, lived 16 years between Calgary<br />
and Montreal, Canada; Dallas, TX;<br />
and back in her hometown of West<br />
Hartford, CT. They have 3 boys and<br />
2 girls, ages 16–30, and are the proud<br />
grandparents of granddaughter Aya<br />
and grandson Elias. Their children<br />
are in the worlds of finance and science<br />
and work in CT, AZ, Toronto, and<br />
MN. Since 1991, she has been faculty<br />
and primarily a college administrator<br />
in CT at Manchester Community,<br />
Central CT State U, Saint Joseph<br />
<strong>College</strong>, Wesleyan U, and currently<br />
Mitchell <strong>College</strong>, where her husband<br />
is a faculty member. She loves her<br />
work and feels she has been blessed<br />
with a wonderful family and charmed<br />
life. She hopes to read more about her<br />
friends of old. ¶ Nancy Doherty Kaplan<br />
has checked in. She reports that she<br />
has been teaching in Manhattan the<br />
past 9 years as the Dean of Discipline<br />
for a middle school and commuting<br />
to the Cape, where her husband,<br />
David, lives. She says it “keeps the<br />
relationship fresh!” They have two<br />
sons, Casey, who is 29 and lives in<br />
Burlington, VT, and Daniel, 2 years<br />
younger and getting his master’s at<br />
the U of Washington in Seattle. ¶<br />
Pamela Sampson Manozzi contributes<br />
that she is employed part time as<br />
a case manager for the Natick Service<br />
Council, having finished her MSW in<br />
2007 at Salem State School of Social<br />
Work. She has 2 grandchildren in<br />
Natick: Brandon, age 5, and Molly,<br />
age 2, who are wonderfully vibrant<br />
and who keep her very busy. ¶ Jane<br />
M. LaBarbera celebrated 35 years of<br />
marriage to Stephen Murphy, whom<br />
she was dating at <strong>Regis</strong>. They have<br />
3 children between the ages of 25<br />
and 28: Philip, Andrew, and Sarah.<br />
Jane says she is very fortunate<br />
in that her job is challenging and<br />
always interesting, which fits her<br />
personality. She is managing both the<br />
Association of American Law Schools<br />
and an International Association of<br />
law schools in Washington, DC, and is<br />
fortunate that she is never bored with<br />
her personal life or in her career.

well represented at the Annual Cape<br />
Cod luncheon, as 10 of us turned out<br />
to hear Dr. Mary E. Chamberland give<br />
the keynote speech. Mary retired<br />
several years ago from the Centers<br />
for Disease Control, but she still<br />
does consulting for CDC and for the<br />
World Health Organization. Her field<br />
is epidemiology, specifically emerging<br />
infectious diseases. She and her<br />

¶ Mary McAvoy is a newly published<br />

from her. This is what she had to<br />
share: ¶ “I am a member of the <strong>Regis</strong><br />
<strong>College</strong> Class of 1977.<br />
I came into <strong>Regis</strong> as a<br />
transfer student during<br />
our junior year. While<br />
I didn’t stumble into<br />
friendships with mem-<br />
bers of my own class,<br />
I am still close friends<br />
with a group of women<br />
(6 of us) who were in<br />
the classes of 1978 and<br />
1979. We try to get<br />
together at least once a<br />
year for a weekend. ¶ I<br />
always scan the Class<br />
of ’77 notes and then<br />
read on through the ’78<br />
and ’79 notes. Now and<br />
then I’ll see news about<br />
someone I remember. ¶<br />
This letter is sent in the<br />
event you might want to<br />
record in the ’77 notes<br />
that I have recently published a book,<br />
Love’s Compass. I’ll share here bits<br />
of my journey to becoming a writer.<br />
¶ My major was one of the first, if<br />
not the first, ‘individually designed’<br />
majors at <strong>Regis</strong>. It was a combination<br />
of English and the Classics, with<br />
a secondary focus on biology. I was<br />
grateful to <strong>Regis</strong>, and specifically<br />
Sr. Joan Murray, for encouraging<br />
me to follow my interests. ¶ I loved<br />
studying literature, philosophy,<br />
mythology, and science at <strong>Regis</strong>, and<br />
my teachers and class work left a<br />
lifelong impression on me. ¶ For the<br />
record, I’ll note that I was the first<br />
<strong>Regis</strong> student in memory at the time<br />
who removed the 3 tiny bones of a<br />
dissected cat’s ear (the anvil, the<br />
stapes, and the …?) with each bone<br />
fully intact! My teacher, whose name<br />
I can’t remember now, was one of the<br />
dearest women I’ve ever met. I loved<br />
her, and she had great affection for<br />
me, her ‘English Major’ as she called<br />
me—though the department itself<br />
was a bit peevish, as I recall, that a<br />

nonscience was mucking around their<br />
turf. She, however, fully appreciated<br />
my curious mind. She made a<br />
dramatic announcement to my fellow<br />
biology classmates (which did not<br />
endear me to them) when I removed<br />
the final ear bone during the dissection.<br />
And she preserved the bones<br />
in a jar as an example of exemplary<br />
work! ¶ After leaving <strong>Regis</strong>, I entered<br />
the workforce in an administrative<br />
capacity and was Senior Contract<br />
Administrator for NEC (then in<br />
Boxborough) when I left the workforce<br />
for 15 years to raise my 2 children. I<br />
also had begun taking courses toward<br />
an MBA at Babson when family life<br />
called me away from that, too. ¶ I<br />
returned to work at Oak Meadow<br />
Montessori School in Littleton, MA,<br />
when my children were older. After<br />
6 years, the last 2 as Director of<br />
Admission, I left Oak Meadow when<br />
life threw me an unexpected change.<br />
After 3 years of diminished energy<br />
and strength, I was diagnosed with<br />
fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue. ¶<br />
By nature I’ve always been active. So,<br />
I immediately began to try to find a<br />
way to still be productive. I started a<br />
business, Syntax and Style, through<br />
which I offer content management<br />
websites to small businesses, and content<br />
writing and editing. I learned the<br />
craft as I went along. ¶ I also began<br />
fiction writing, hoping I could make<br />
a living at something that I could do<br />
when my energy and focus allowed.<br />
¶ My first book, Love’s Compass, is<br />
a timely tale—the story of a woman<br />
who finds herself in a marriage in<br />
which her husband has veered off<br />
their path, for no great reason—his<br />
life has just unfolded in a way other<br />
than hers. The story is an intimate<br />
look at her as she comes to the realization<br />
of her unexpected place in life<br />
after a long-term marriage, how she<br />
comes to terms with her new situation,<br />
and, ultimately, how she finds<br />
her footing. ¶ Love’s Compass is being<br />
received well. Book clubs find it to<br />
be a contemporary and thought-provoking<br />
look at love, marriage, family,<br />
and divorce in our time. Its reception<br />
is encouraging to me as I complete<br />
the writing of my second book, I’d<br />
Love You There Again. I have ideas<br />
sketched out for a 3rd and 4th book. ¶<br />
My writing style is simple—short and<br />
direct sentences, simple word use.<br />
But what people tell me is that I have<br />
an uncanny ability to put into words<br />
things that they think about but could<br />
never express verbally. ¶ And many<br />
people identify with the characters—<br />
men and women alike. ¶ If you are<br />
interested, you can read more about it<br />
at www.lovescompass.com.” ¶ Thank<br />
you, Mary. It was great to hear about<br />
your new success! To the rest of the<br />
class of ’77, we’d love to hear from<br />
you, so please send news!<br />

Hello, Class of ’82. ¶ Hope you all have<br />
had a nice summer. No notes to give<br />
you. I am still very busy working in<br />
the Financial Aid Office here. We are<br />
expecting one of our largest classes of<br />
300 Freshmen! And approx. 98 of the<br />
students are athletes. ¶ Speaking of<br />
athletes, I just spent the first weekend<br />
in Aug. volunteering at the 31st Pan<br />
Mass Challenge to raise money for<br />
cancer over at Babson <strong>College</strong>. Cancer<br />
has touched everyone. I have been<br />
volunteering for about 5 years now for<br />
the weekend, helpingto register the<br />
riders. So if you ride or know people<br />
who participate, let me know and<br />
maybe we can get a <strong>Regis</strong> group to<br />
cheer the riders on. ¶ Have wonderful<br />
fall, and I hope to hear from someone<br />
soon. I know you are out there!<br />

Hello, Class of ’85! ¶ Lots to<br />
talk about—starting with<br />
our Reunion! It was way too<br />
much fun for one weekend.<br />
We had nearly 50 classmates<br />
participate throughout the weekend,<br />
from the Friday night cocktail reception<br />
in the ’85 lounge (aka Domitilla)<br />
to the dinner at Morrison House to<br />
the post-dinner party back in the<br />
lounge. And for a bunch of mid-40’s<br />
women, we stayed up WAY too late<br />
chatting and laughing on Friday<br />
night. And yes, the dorms are exactly<br />
as we remembered them. Many common<br />
themes: kids, careers and career<br />
changes, family updates, births,<br />
marriages, passings, divorces—lots<br />
to catch up on after a few decades.<br />
It was amazing how easy it was to<br />
reconnect. Many new friendships as<br />
well—just a terrific time. Our class<br />
was well represented in the Parade<br />
of Classes on Saturday, and we have<br />
posted some pictures on our Reunion<br />
fan page on Facebook. The Alumnae<br />
Luncheon was great the next day,<br />
where several of our classmates<br />
led the group in singing our Alma<br />
Mater. Sheila Prichard was so glad<br />
to see some former RCGC members<br />
(including Lisa Dupuis and Janice<br />
Flynn) join the Alumnae Chorus at<br />
the mass on Saturday afternoon, and<br />
what a surprise to see Deirdre Fahey<br />
at the lobster dinner on Saturday<br />
night! She gets the prize for traveling<br />
the farthest. Melinda Powers gets<br />
the hop-skip-and-a-jump prize for<br />
coming all the way from Weston. Our<br />
classmate Holly Kendrick was in Iraq<br />
—she manages public relations for<br />
the army brass. Getting a direct flight<br />
from Baghdad to Boston was tough,<br />
so we’re hoping to see her at the next<br />
event! Kim Lewis had just had knee<br />
surgery but is now doing well, and<br />
we are looking forward to seeing<br />
her soon. When we see everyone in<br />
person, we’ll fill you in on the lobster<br />
dinner and post-dinner events. We<br />
can’t publicly disclose what actually<br />
happened. Let’s just say we let<br />
our hair down a bit with the 2005<br />
and 1960 Reunion classes back in<br />
Maria pit. Too many people to list<br />
who attended the Reunion fun, but<br />

Hello, classmates! ¶ Today was a<br />
perfect summer-weather day for New<br />
England, with no humidity! Mary<br />
McSoley Ohrn and her husband, Bob,<br />
were visiting the Boston area this<br />
week, so I spent the day with her<br />
family as well as Jen Oteri Sarrasin’s<br />
family visiting the Old North Bridge<br />
in Concord, MA. We had a picnic<br />
lunch with our 13 children: 5 Ohrns,<br />
4 Henehans, 4 Sarrasins. The kids<br />
had a ton of fun getting to know each<br />
other, which gave Mary, Jen, and me<br />
a little time to catch up. All in all, a<br />
fun day! The Ohrns and the Sarrasins<br />
have seen quite a bit of each other<br />
lately. Jen’s family visited Mary’s<br />
family in PA earlier this summer.<br />
¶ I had a chance to catch up with<br />
Barbara L’Heureux Murphy a couple<br />
of weeks ago over lunch. Barb has<br />
been working as an actuary for about<br />
16 years … could even be longer as<br />
we had so much to catch up on and<br />
so little time to discuss! She now<br />
works 3 days a week so that she can<br />
spend more time at home with her<br />
two daughters, Bridget and Caitlin.<br />
Barb was getting ready to take a<br />
family road trip to Myrtle Beach<br />
soon after we caught up. I guess you<br />
didn’t learn anything from our road<br />
trip to Florida, huh? I have also seen<br />
Moira Doherty Manning a few times<br />
over the summer, as we belong to<br />
the same boat club. Although neither<br />
of us has a boat, we like the swimming<br />
and fun factor for our kids,<br />
as well as the socializing! ¶ Terri<br />
Labounty-Rodriguez, Nancy Antonellis<br />
D’Amato, Marie de la Bruere, and Joan<br />
Fellows Madden ’90 got together for<br />
their annual family camping trip<br />
When you hit your 40s,<br />
if it isn’t fun, it just<br />
isn’t worth it!<br />
on Lake Champlain, VT. Terri says,<br />
“There is nothing better than good<br />
friends, fireworks, and, of course,<br />
Vermont.” I think she may have left<br />
“fun drinks” out of that statement! ¶<br />
Congratulations to Elizabeth Cannon<br />
Dimovski and her husband, who<br />
welcomed their 2nd child, Michael,<br />
on Apr. 30. Michael joins big sister<br />
Ana, age 3. Stephanie Chung Gouveia<br />
married Jason Gouveia on May 29,<br />
2010, in Sonoma, CA. The couple<br />
met while volunteering back in Jan.<br />
2008 and now live in San Francisco in<br />
Pacific Heights. Stephanie works for<br />
PG&E as a Human Resources Policy<br />
Program Manager; Jason works in<br />
<strong>Business</strong> Development for UPS. I<br />
did see some of the wedding pictures<br />
on Facebook … gorgeous setting,<br />
gorgeous bride! Congratulations! ¶<br />
On a sad note, Kerry Kehoe Battles’s<br />
husband died suddenly in Mar. Kerry<br />
reports that she and her daughter,<br />
Abby, recently moved into a new<br />
house, which has been keeping them<br />
busy. Please keep them in your<br />
thoughts and prayers during this difficult<br />
time in their lives. ¶ I hope you<br />
all enjoy the remainder of 2010. I am<br />
off in a new direction, as I have not<br />
only reentered the workforce full time<br />
but also made a career change! I will<br />

Thompson lives in Medfield, MA,<br />
with her husband, John (a Babson<br />
guy), and her 2 kids – Matthew, age<br />
8, and Ella, age 5 (going on 30). Lisa<br />
stays close with her old crew, Kathy<br />
Bouchard Sanger, Kathleen Thompson,<br />
Patti Chiasson, Stacy Erikson Osborne,<br />
Kristen Muckian Giovanniello ’90,<br />
Noreen Kelliher, and Mary Ellen Gillis<br />
DuBois. She also lives in the same<br />
town as Kathleen Feeney Farris and<br />
Nicole Amnott. Lisa recently visited<br />
Sr. Rosenda Gill ’38 with Sr.<br />
Mary Oates at the CSJ home in<br />
Framingham, MA. If you remember<br />
her well, you’ll be happy to hear<br />
that Sr. Rosenda is still a spitfire! ¶<br />
Lisa’s Medfield, MA, neighbor, Kathe<br />
Feeney Farris (who also married<br />
a Babson boy—Is there something<br />
about that town?), and husband Jeff<br />
celebrated their 17th wedding anniversary<br />
with their 2 daughters. Kathe<br />
is well connected with Dawn Polito<br />
Morris, Meg McWilliams Garvey, and<br />
Laura Fahey Murphy. ¶ Dawn-Marie<br />
Polito Morris is living in Burlington,<br />
MA, and has been married for 14<br />
years to husband Derek. Like so<br />
many, Dawn is sad about how fast<br />
her children are growing up. Michael<br />
is 12 and Erin is 10. She now works<br />
at MIT Lincoln Lab in Lexington,<br />
MA, as an SAP Training Consultant.<br />
She keeps in touch with Adrienne<br />
Hammel Aaronson, and Dawn. Meg<br />
McWilliams Garvey, Nicole Amnott<br />
Tongue, and Kathe Feeney Farris<br />
get together every 6 weeks, which is<br />
not an easy task these days. ¶ As for<br />
myself, <strong>Regis</strong> lost one of her proudest<br />
parents when my father passed<br />
away suddenly after a brief bout<br />
with cancer last Oct. With a wife<br />
and two daughters having graduated<br />
from the <strong>College</strong>, he was one of the<br />
school’s greatest fans. God bless my<br />
dad. Other than that, life is good, and<br />
I look forward to seeing you all. ¶<br />
Please keep in touch! Remember that<br />
it’s not too early to start thinking<br />
Reunion! Stay tuned to the <strong>College</strong><br />

griffin04@yahoo.com ¶ Hello,<br />
classmates! I hope the spring and<br />
summer have treated you well. I keep<br />
up with many of you on Facebook<br />
and know that many of our New<br />
England classmates have had fun<br />
keeping cool in what is now the 3rd<br />
hottest summer on record. ¶ Two of<br />
our classmates are returning to the<br />
classroom. Diane Lawton Robillard<br />
might be heading back to our alma<br />
mater. She hopes to earn a master’s<br />
degree in Health Administration<br />
from <strong>Regis</strong>’s new program. Diane<br />
and her family visited Williamsburg,<br />
VA, this summer on vacation. “What<br />
a great trip,” she said, “The Great<br />
Wolf Lodge was the favorite part.” ¶<br />
Duyen Lorette Higginbottom is also<br />
heading back to campus, but not<br />
<strong>Regis</strong>. Duyen is studying at Regent<br />
University’s School of Divinity.<br />
While she hits the books, she is<br />
also planning for her wedding. “On<br />
my birthday my prince charming<br />
asked me to marry him,” she wrote.<br />
“I have less than 12 months to plan<br />
a wedding. Say a prayer for me!”<br />
Duyen also has a great outlook on<br />
life: “When you hit your 40s, if it<br />
isn’t fun, it just isn’t worth it!” Can<br />
I say, “Amen!?” ¶ Maryann Whitman<br />
Zujewski just accepted a new position<br />
as the Education Specialist for Salem<br />
Maritime National Historic Site and<br />
Saugus Iron Works National Historic<br />
Site. She loves her career with the<br />
National Park Service and is excited<br />
to take this next step. Maryann<br />
has been at the Tsongas Industrial<br />
History Center in Lowell for the last<br />
14 years. The new position means she<br />
will be returning to the workforce full<br />
time. Maryann was working 3 days<br />
per week since her 1st child, Emily,<br />
was born 9 years ago. She writes, “At<br />
least our youngest, Adam, is starting<br />
full-day kindergarten this year. We<br />
are excited to go camping in Acadia<br />
National Park at the end of the<br />
month. Then, on to Salem/Saugus!”<br />
¶ Lise Lague is also on the move<br />
again. Lise and her family have been<br />
transferred to St. Louis, MO, for<br />
the next 2 years. Lise writes, “We<br />
are looking forward to yet another<br />
adventure. If any of you live in the<br />
St. Louis area, please let me know, I<br />
would love to be in touch!” Her youngest,<br />
Caroline, celebrated her 3rd<br />
birthday this summer, and her oldest,<br />
Annabel, will be entering second<br />
grade in the fall. Lise adds that the<br />
girls are “still young enough to make<br />
all these moves without complaining<br />
too much.” ¶ Lynne Frodyma Turmel<br />
is consulting in loyalty marketing<br />
and will launch an innovative loyalty<br />
program for a large convenience<br />
chain in the Southeast. Lynne writes,<br />
“Consulting fits my lifestyle and<br />
provides the necessary flexibility with<br />
the boys. Other than that, built a<br />
must-needed garage in New England<br />
and enjoying the lake.” ¶ As for me<br />
… Well, the big 4-0 came in May,<br />
and my husband, Adam, surprised<br />
me with a party. His secret helper<br />
was Sharon Mulcahy, who graciously<br />
opened her unbelievable design studio<br />
and offered her magical touches for<br />
the event. <strong>Regis</strong> grads in attendance<br />
were Michelle Barczykowski, Kristen<br />
DePonte, and Jill Rynkowski Doyle<br />
’91. I was totally surprised and had a<br />
great time catching up with everyone.<br />
But I still can’t believe I am 40! ¶<br />

role model. For me especially,<br />
Lynn was also a dear friend. She is<br />
missed by us all, but her impact on<br />
our lives and time at <strong>Regis</strong> will never<br />
be forgotten. In the spirit of our Alma<br />
Mater, I feel compelled to say that<br />
we will continue to feel the impact of<br />
Lynn Tripp Coleman on our lives and<br />
will evermore “twine in our hearts for<br />
you, undying flowers.” Until we meet<br />
again, Amy.<br />

Clinician ME/NH Region, where they<br />
help brain tumor cancer patients.<br />
Laurie says she loves working for the<br />
company and finds it very rewarding.<br />
Laurie is also an Adjunct Professor<br />
at Manchester Community <strong>College</strong><br />
in the <strong>Business</strong> Studies Department<br />
and Great Bay Community <strong>College</strong><br />
in the Hospitality Department. She<br />
teaches 5 different courses, anywhere<br />
from 1–3 classes a semester,<br />
and she really loves working with<br />
the students. Finally, Laurie is an<br />
event planner and an entrepreneur.<br />
She owns a company that specializes<br />
in event planning called Everyday<br />
Details, where she has a lot of fun<br />
helping with and planning all types of<br />
events, from fundraisers to weddings.<br />
Out of all of these, however, Laurie<br />
says that being a mommy is by far<br />
the most rewarding and favorite<br />
job! She feels very lucky to have the<br />
flexibility to work her hours around<br />
Amelia and her husband’s job, so they<br />
can avoid daycare. We are glad to<br />
hear things are going so well, Laurie!<br />

¶ What a momentous occasion we had<br />
this last May. Can you believe we just<br />
celebrated our 5th Reunion? For<br />
those of you who weren’t able to<br />
attend Reunion, I must inform you<br />
that you missed one heck of a party!<br />
A handful of us even stayed in the pit<br />
for the entire weekend! Those who<br />
stayed over included Michelle Class,<br />
Sharon Lemay Ploss, Amy<br />
Shoemaker Bucelewicz,<br />
Emily Hall, Ellen Blaney,<br />
Kelsey Raga, Meghan<br />
Sullivan, Kathryn Bloomquist,<br />
and Kathleen Stuart. For our<br />
luau under the tent at the<br />
Tower Garden, Meghan<br />
Beck, Mandy Fleming, and<br />
Cate Howley McLaughlin and<br />
her hubby joined us on<br />
Friday night. Cate let us<br />
know that she left United<br />
Way after 5 years and got a<br />
new job at Tufts. She’s the<br />
director of the Dental Fund<br />
at Tufts University School<br />
of Dental Medicine. Congrats, Cate!<br />
It was great to catch up for a few<br />
minutes at dinner with everyone.<br />
After enjoying the buffet and DJ, we<br />
made our way down to the Fine Arts<br />
Center for a wine tasting and more<br />
desserts. ¶ On Saturday morning we<br />
trekked in our PJs to the cafeteria for<br />
breakfast. At noon we took part in<br />
our first parade of classes! Although<br />
we were at the end of the line, we<br />
proudly wore our American Flag<br />
Ribbon Pins, put together by Michelle<br />
Class, to represent September 11, that<br />
horrific day during freshman year.<br />
United as a class, we listened during<br />
the All Alumni Luncheon that<br />
followed the parade as other alumni<br />
who received the awards shared with<br />
us their stories of <strong>Regis</strong>. ¶ Saturday<br />
afternoon consisted of lazy walks<br />
around the campus, checking out the<br />
new fields, and really soaking in the<br />
beautiful weather we had. During our<br />
class meeting, Michelle Class was<br />
appointed our new President for the<br />
next 5 years. She will serve with Amy<br />
Shoemaker Bucelewicz as our Vice<br />
President; Meghan Sullivan will serve<br />
as Secretary; Emily Hall, Sharon Lemay<br />
Ploss, and Colleen Jaeger will b our<br />
Fund Agents; and lastly, Kathryn<br />
Bloomquist and Kathleen Stuart will<br />
join me as Class Reporters. Sarah<br />
Staunton will serve as our Reunion<br />
Chairperson in 2015. Thank you,<br />
ladies, for stepping up to the plate!<br />
¶ The high point of Reunion Weekend<br />
for many of us was the lobster bake<br />
held under the tent in the Tower<br />
Garden on Saturday evening. The<br />
Mark Greel Band provided live<br />
music, and all Reunion alumni<br />
gathered underneath the stars to eat,<br />
drink, and dance! Meredith Creeden,<br />
Danielle Lewon, Lauren Pullia, Bonnie<br />
Woolfrey, Susan Walley, and Kaitlin<br />
Damon Muzrall joined Reunion that<br />
evening. For anyone who missed it,<br />
check out the pictures on Facebook to<br />
see just how much fun was had! ¶<br />
Speaking of Facebook, it seems to be<br />
the easiest way to stay in touch these<br />
days. I got to catch up with Caitlin<br />
Connolly, who’s son Colin and I share<br />
the same birthday! He turned 1 as I<br />
was turning 27 on Aug. 9, reminding<br />
me of how old I do feel. I’d like to<br />
send congrats off to Cait, who left<br />
Daniel Webster after 4 years to come<br />
back to our neck of the woods and<br />
work for Lasell! Who knows, Cait,<br />
maybe I’ll get you back on campus<br />
yet! ¶ We missed Melissa Curry at<br />
Reunion because she was traveling<br />
for work, but through Facebook she<br />
reports this: “Nothing really new<br />
here. Bought my house 2 years ago<br />
and just refinanced at a super rate.<br />
I have been slowly working on<br />
renovating my house. The next room<br />
we are working on is the kitchen!<br />
Let’s see, who else, Kim Valentine<br />
Malynn had a baby boy named Connor<br />
with her husband in June, and he is<br />
the cutest thing ever. That’s all that I<br />
got! Hope everyone is doing well and<br />
enjoying this summer.” Thanks for<br />
checking in, Melissa, and congratulations,<br />
Kim! ¶ Kellie Marren Rowland,<br />
my old freshman roomie, is another<br />
glowing mother! She gave birth to her<br />
second child, Alice, in June, and her<br />
first daughter, Mollie, is already 2<br />
years old! They just bought a house<br />
in Scituate, MA. Congrats, Kel! ¶<br />
Speaking of Mollies, I had the<br />
pleasure of sitting with Molly Vollmer<br />
and her husband, Adam, at Evan<br />
Rufo’s wedding. Afraid I couldn’t buy<br />
her a drink this round, as she was<br />
pregnant with her newborn, Brady,<br />
who I’m happy to report is doing very<br />
well! Despite the rain at Evan’s<br />
wedding, it truly was a beautiful<br />
ceremony. Many <strong>Regis</strong> alums were in<br />
attendance, including Colleen Jaegar,<br />
and all were seen enjoying the dance<br />
floor after dinner! By the time you<br />
read this, Evan will a proud house<br />
owner in Woburn, MA. ¶ In other<br />
wedding news, I will be attending<br />
Michelle Class’s wedding on Sept. 18,<br />
2010; she and Brian Petersen will<br />
finally tie the knot. Her bridal party<br />
will include Sharon Lemay Ploss, Amy<br />
Shoemaker Bucelewicz, and Sarah<br />
Staunton. I’ll make sure to fill you<br />
all in with the next round of notes.<br />
¶ Kemi Akinribido is currently<br />
traveling the world and enjoying life!<br />
In the past few years she’s been to<br />
the UK, the Netherlands, Belgium,<br />
Italy, Greece, and Costa Rica, and she<br />
just came back from Japan a few<br />
weeks ago. ¶ Liz DeLise is having an<br />
“off-pregnancy” year since her son,<br />
Tedy, was born. Tedy is now 1, and<br />
Sophia is 3 (both are Jan. babies).<br />
Liz truly has her hands full! Her<br />
husband, Troy, joined the army and<br />
left for training in Apr., so he’ll be<br />
done in Nov., meaning another move<br />
for Liz’s crew by the end of the year.<br />
Maybe they’ll bring you back to our<br />
neck of the woods, Liz! She said she is<br />
excited for the new adventure, seeing<br />
as she grew up as an army brat and<br />
is now a proud army wife! She also
mentioned she quit her job to be a<br />
stay-at-home mom but started her<br />
own business! DeLise Inc. consists<br />
of mainly bows and bow holders,<br />
and her main product is called a<br />
BOWUTIFUL. The mission behind<br />
the bows is that each month an<br />
organization has a featured collection<br />
and proceeds from the sale of those<br />
bows go to benefit that collection.<br />
The big kickoff for that is in Sept.<br />
for the Leukemia and Lymphoma<br />
Society. Best of luck, Liz! We’ll make<br />
sure to update the class in the next<br />
issue of <strong>Regis</strong> Today, raving about all<br />
of your success, I’m sure! ¶ Liz also<br />
mentioned that she’s become a crazy<br />
runner. She did the 10K that ended<br />
in Gillette Stadium with her sister,<br />
Cait Connolly, and Isabel, claiming it<br />
was amazing to run through the<br />
tunnel and onto the field to finish at<br />
the 50-yard line! Liz’s oldest, Sophia,<br />
did her first kids’ race; she got to run<br />
the field the day before, “running in<br />
Mommy’s footsteps.” Liz’s next big<br />
race is Oct. 31, for the Marine Corps<br />
Marathon in DC, and she will also do<br />
the James Joyce Ramble in Dedham<br />
the last Sunday in Apr. When discussing<br />
all of the races, Liz had a great<br />
idea! She thinks we should do some<br />
kind of race at <strong>Regis</strong>, and I’m all for<br />
it! Anyone else interested? Let us<br />
know! ¶ Emily Hall is sad to report she<br />
lost her job at the end of June and is<br />
anxiously looking. She went to the<br />
Cape in June to go camping for a few<br />
days. She keeps in contact with<br />
Bobbie Finnochio ’04 and Aroostine<br />
Brown ’04, who are both doing well.<br />
Emily’s also very happy to have her<br />
brother home from London for a visit.<br />
¶ Speaking of coming home, we’re<br />
happy to have Roxanne Griffin back<br />
on U.S. soil. She had a fantastic time<br />
visiting her brother in Australia! Fill<br />
us in, Rox, we’d love to hear all about<br />
it! ¶ Meg Sullivan is still living at<br />
home on the Cape. She said she had<br />
a wicked awesome time at Reunion.<br />
We all agree! She happily took on<br />
the role as our Class Secretary. She’s<br />
also been teaching pre-K on the Coast<br />
Guard base for a year and half and<br />
just received a promotion! Lastly,<br />
she got accepted to grad school for<br />
elementary education and is looking<br />
forward to Michelle Class’s wedding<br />
in Sept. I’ll see you there, Meg! ¶<br />
As for me, yes, I’m still here at <strong>Regis</strong>,<br />
hiking it down from Londonderry,<br />
NH, every day! As crazy as it may<br />
sound, it is still worth every mile. I<br />
am constantly racking my brain on<br />
what events I can throw to entice<br />
all of you back on campus. I know so<br />
many of you receive my regular event<br />
invitations through email—and if you<br />
don’t, send me your emails, because<br />
that means we don’t have you<br />
updated in the system! Life on<br />
campus, however different with each<br />
new class, still feels the same. I<br />
watch the excitement bottled up with<br />
nervousness in the new freshmen as<br />
they walk the halls during orientation,<br />
and I see the restlessness of the<br />
seniors each year as they get ready to<br />
depart. This year, as the leaves start<br />
to fade and cover the campus, the<br />
staff and faculty embark on servicing<br />
the largest incoming class yet. Kudos<br />
to the Admissions teams for all their<br />
hard work in recruiting! ¶ Lastly,<br />
we’d like to send our condolences to<br />
2 classmates who lost very important<br />
men in their lives. Both Kathryn<br />
Bloomquist and Olivia Robinson Kelley<br />
lost their fathers this year. We send<br />
our prayers and sympathy to their<br />
families. ¶ Please send in your news.<br />
I know 5 years doesn’t seem like<br />
enough time for things to have<br />
happened, but we’ve all been so busy<br />
that we’ve missed out on what’s going<br />
on with everyone else! I hope you all<br />
enjoyed your summers and are ready<br />
for the holidays.<br />

✒ Erin Campbell, 6 Newport Street,<br />
Arlington, MA 02476 ¶ Ryan Carney<br />
moved to Wellesley, MA, in June.<br />
She works in Corporate Marketing<br />
at women’s health company Hologic<br />
in Bedford, MA, and loves it. Ryan<br />
and I get together for lunch when<br />
we can, and I can personally attest<br />
that Hologic keeps her busy traveling<br />
the U.S. I get a little jealous but am<br />
always very happy for her. ¶ Kristen<br />
MacKenzie spent the majority of her<br />
summer tutoring and preparing<br />
for her brother’s wedding. She was<br />
lucky enough to see Keri Bertorelli,<br />
Lisa Crowley, Cathy Onasanya, and<br />
Colleen Hill when they all went to<br />
see Boston’s Grown-ups premier in<br />
June. My first question was how they<br />
made it through the entire movie<br />
without getting kicked out. Colleen<br />
and Kristen also saw Bon Jovi in<br />
concert on the 50-yard line at Gillette<br />
Stadium. She plans to return to her<br />
Pre-K classroom in Mashpee, MA,<br />
this year. ¶ Melissa Gonzalez actually<br />
left Puerto Rico to visit friends<br />
and family in MA. Though everyone<br />
missed her I could not believe she<br />
actually left the beach. In Apr. we<br />
celebrated in true <strong>Regis</strong> style at<br />
Margaritas, followed by a barbecue<br />
in June. Melissa and her fiancé are<br />
doing well and have officially set a<br />
wedding date for July 23, 2011. Even<br />
though she has wedding planning<br />
ahead, she will still be buried in her<br />
studies as she continues the road<br />
to her master’s degree. ¶ A common<br />
topic sweeping our class is real<br />
estate, as a few alumni have bought<br />
homes or are in the market. Veronica<br />
Coles and her fiancé closed on their<br />
house in Aug. and are very excited to<br />
start making it their home. Kimberly<br />
Luciani and her fiancé closed on their<br />
condo in Boston, and Caitlin Clark<br />
Seaman and her husband are house<br />
hunting in NH. Best of luck, ladies!<br />
¶ Taryn Face moved to Arlington, MA,<br />
this past May and also started a new<br />
job. She is now a Senior Marketing<br />
Associate at Vistaprint in Lexington,<br />
MA. In June, Taryn became part<br />
of the Alumni Association Board<br />
of Directors at <strong>Regis</strong> <strong>College</strong>.<br />
She played in 3 different softball<br />
leagues this summer and prepared<br />
for the arrival of her nephew.<br />
Congratulations, Auntie Taryn! ¶<br />
Nicole Messuri has been running all<br />
over town! She did 2 half-marathons<br />
this summer: the 13.1 Boston Series<br />
in Blue Hills, and Boston’s Run<br />
to Remember. She’s not stopping<br />
there and is determined to tackle<br />
a triathlon next. She also just got<br />
promoted to Operations Supervisor<br />
at MIT. Congrats, Nickelmama! ¶<br />
As for me, Erin Campbell, I am living<br />
the late-20s dream in Arlington,<br />
MA, with my amazing dog, Doc. I<br />
had quite the road-trip summer, as I<br />
traveled to Topsail, NC, with Nicole<br />
Messuri and Christina Aprea ’05 for<br />
vacation in late Apr., and then down<br />
to Baltimore, MD, to see the Red Sox<br />
play. My personal recommendation<br />
is that everyone needs to experience<br />
Camden Yards at least once, as it<br />
is definitely Fenway South. In my<br />
professional world I still work as<br />
a Project Manager at Boston Color<br />
Graphics and coach basketball part<br />
time. I look forward to seeing everyone<br />
for our 5th Reunion in May.Until<br />
then, if you wish to send any of your<br />

REGIS TODAY<br />
A New<br />
Perspective<br />
in Abu Dhabi<br />
bY HEIDI GoMEZ ’06<br />
I have been in Abu Dhabi for a year now,<br />
and I love every second of it. Well, all but the<br />
extreme heat.<br />
I am working with Muslim girls and boys<br />
ages 6 through 11 at the New England<br />
Center for Children–Abu Dhabi, a private<br />
school for students with autism. It’s an<br />
amazing experience, because you get to<br />
help kids practice traditional routines, and<br />
at the same time you learn so much about<br />
the Muslim culture. We help some children with<br />
mealtime prayers, wearing a shayla (the fabric that<br />
women cover<br />
their hair/face<br />
Most women hold on to their<br />
traditional family<br />
values and that is something<br />
I admire.<br />
with) bathroom<br />
routines, etc.<br />
Here in Abu<br />
Dhabi, the<br />
school has six<br />
classrooms right<br />
now. We all work<br />
in one-to-onebasedclass-<br />
rooms, however we are now grouping the children.<br />
This hopefully can prepare them to share their teacher’s<br />
attention, and interact with each other in a public<br />
school setting. We work on basic skills of identifying<br />
objects, multiplying, dividing, graphing, etc.<br />
The United Arab Emirates (UAE) is a Muslim<br />
country, so it is quite a culture shock. However,<br />
once you go to a restaurant, malls, or just out in the<br />
streets you realize that Abu Dhabi is full of people<br />
from different parts of the world (Australia, New<br />
Zealand, Canada, England, etc.). You see women in<br />
their abayas, men in their kandooras, and expats<br />
walking around in jeans, shorts, T-shirt, or tank top.<br />
The best part is that most people I have encountered<br />
are so respectful to each other.<br />
During Ramadan, we cannot eat or drink in public<br />
before the sun goes down. It’s a bit hard during<br />
the summers, when the temperature can reach<br />
118 degrees, but I respect their beliefs. And during<br />
December there are Christmas celebrations here.<br />
I think it’s a mutual respect.<br />
The only thing that has been put into perspective<br />
is that the UAE is a very traditional place … but not.<br />
You see women everywhere wearing abayas, but a lot<br />
of them have jobs or are going to school now. I know<br />
that at our school a number of our students’ moms are<br />
working hard. So, as much as people make it seem<br />
as though it is crazy that women still have to cover<br />
themselves up, women are working hard.<br />
Yes, most women hold on to their traditional family<br />
values, and that is something I admire.
Celebrating Our innOvative leader<br />
Endowed Scholarship Fund<br />
Like the Sisters of St. Joseph, Mary Jane England, M.D.,<br />
is a woman who is often ahead of the times. She<br />
pursued medicine when women were just beginning<br />
to break into the field. She chose a specialty, psychiatry,<br />
that had been dominated by men. In government,<br />
business and academe, she has stood out nationally<br />
as an innovative leader. Medicine, public health, and<br />
education have all benefited from her vision and so,<br />
especially, has <strong>Regis</strong>.<br />
To honor Dr. England’s achievements in health and<br />
in positioning <strong>Regis</strong> for the 21st century, as well as to<br />
celebrate her 10-year presidency at <strong>Regis</strong> <strong>College</strong>, we<br />
are pleased to announce:<br />
THE PRESIDENT MARY JANE ENGLAND ’59, M.D.,<br />
ENDOWED SCHOLARSHIP FUND<br />
In keeping with Dr. England’s lifework and her allimportant<br />
focus on the advancement and well-being<br />
of students, this endowed scholarship will be given to<br />
<strong>Regis</strong> <strong>College</strong> students who are innovative leaders in<br />
the School of Nursing, Science, and Health Professions.<br />
As we embark on the final year of Dr. England’s<br />
remarkable presidency, we look forward to celebrating<br />
the milestones of the past decade and honoring her<br />
achievements. We hope all alumni, friends, and supporters<br />
will join us at special <strong>Regis</strong> events throughout<br />
the year to commemorate Dr. England’s service and<br />
rejoice in <strong>Regis</strong>’s future.<br />
