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 />

I was able to spend time with<br />
Annette Nieves ’82 and her daughter<br />
Nicole, as they stayed with me and<br />
my family between moves. It felt like<br />
we were back in the dorms at <strong>Regis</strong>! ¶<br />

hear from you and share your news.<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 />
many, many thanks to Eileen Sullivan,<br />
Sarah Wharton, Melissa DeRusha, and<br />
Gail McDonough Mulani<br />
’83 and her family are<br />
looking forward to<br />
a family wedding in<br />
a palace in<br />
Jaipur, India.<br />
Melinda Powers for making<br />
the Reunion a success! Be sure<br />
to join the group on Facebook for<br />
updates, upcoming events, and<br />
news, news, news!<br />
