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 />
<strong>College</strong> and <strong>Regis</strong> <strong>College</strong> Alumni—<br />
class notes<br />
Pat Grosz Korzendorfer ’68<br />
has persevered through<br />
cancer with humor: “I’m<br />
going to glow in the<br />
dark pretty soon!”<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 />
