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

Atkinson, NH 03811-2146 ¶ It was
great catching up with friends at our
20th Reunion in May. Hopefully we’ll
see more of you at our 25th! ¶ Anne
Marie Walsh Salvon was busy over the
summer, as she co-facilitated 2 online
courses for iEARN: Adobe Youth
Voices and a Fulbright online course.
International Education and Resource
Network (www.iearn.org) is the world’s
largest nonprofit global network that

¶ During the school year, Anne
Marie teaches middle-schoolers
the importance of understanding
and embracing technology.
¶ Margaret Pothier was recently
promoted to Director of the Creative
Writing Center at Northern Essex
Community College and is enjoying
her new post. ¶ We heard that
Nancy McSweeney Pastore is heading
Nationals in Tucson with her tennis
team! Go, Nancy! ¶ Nancy Scott
recently joined Ektron in Nashua,
NH, a web-solutions company, as
their Director of Public Relations.
Nancy is living in Georgetown, MA.
¶ We heard from Kerry Ann Munroe
Madden, who has had a terrific
year with Pampered Chef and has
earned many awards. Here’s what
she had to say: “This year actually
marks my 15th anniversary with
Pampered Chef, which we celebrated
in Disney and Universal at the new
Harry Potter theme park (thanks to
PC!). I am an Upper Level Director
with the company and have enjoyed
many wonderful awards and perks,
my favorites being all-expense paid
travel awards to Paris, Hawaii,
Vienna, Disney, and more. I was
recognized at our national conference
for having over $800,000 in career
sales and earning the prestigious
Excellence Award for having over
$55,000 in sales for the year. I have
been asked numerous times by the
home office to lead workshops at their
national conferences to help train
other consultants across the country.
The highlight of my career was
being awarded the peer-nominated
Hospitality Award. I still love sharing
the great products through cooking
shows, alongside my leadership
position, having trained over 100
people to have their own successful
businesses.” ¶ Please drop me a note

Everett, MA 02149-5329, rosemary
hughes@aol.com ¶ Hello, class. ¶
The big talk with our class right now
is the Big 2-0 Year Reunion. Once
you get over the shock of how much
time has passed and how old we are,
you can check out the steps being
taken to plan May 2011. ¶ Thanks
to Pattyanne Lyons, the Regis College
Class of 1991 now has a Facebook
page (listed that exact way on FB).
Pattyanne started this up to get
some interactive Reunion planning
and dialogue in the works. Please
take some time and check it out, and
of course post any notes for Regis
Today there as well. Great move,
Pattyanne! ¶ Tricia Sullivan moved to
Westfield, MA, 2 years ago, and she is
pretty sure there are still unpacked
boxes in her basement! She and
Pattyanne Lyons were attending the
Regis Cape Cod Luncheon last July.
With Pattyanne and Tricia as two of
the “younger” alums attending this
event, something tells me that it
did not include hitting Happy Hour
with Gorde Milne & Jim Plunkett ...
Or did it ? ¶ Congratulations are in
order for Tara Philbin on her recent
