A summer wedding on Cape Cod is<br />
planned. ¶ Maricarmen Rodriguez<br />
lives in Manhattan and works for The<br />
Burberry Corporation as a manager.<br />
Stay close to her for those Burberry<br />
discounts! She has fully recuperated<br />
from back surgery and is back to her<br />
old healthy self. Maricarmen also<br />
keeps in touch with Maria Carolina<br />
Ortega de Mora from Venezuela. They<br />
meet every year in NYC. ¶ Andrea<br />
Lyons Lawson lives in Billerica with<br />
her husband and 3 children. She<br />
started Lawson Bookkeeping Services<br />
2 years ago, working primarily with<br />
small businesses in various industries.<br />
She also volunteers for her<br />
kids’ 2nd- and 4th-grade classrooms,<br />
and she’s looking for tips from any<br />
classmates who teach Kindergarten<br />
so she can help out in her youngest<br />
son Michael’s class in the fall! The<br />
Lawsons also have a new addition to<br />
their family: Everest, an Italian mastiff<br />
puppy! Good luck with the puppy<br />
training, Andrea. ¶ Lisa Spadafora<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 />
website and the <strong>Regis</strong> <strong>College</strong> Class<br />

✒ Audrey Griffin-Goode, 90 Leslie<br />
Road, Waltham, MA 02451, audrey<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 />
Take care, all, and remember our 20th<br />
Reunion is less than 2 years away!<br />

your dancing shoes and dance to the<br />
biggest hit of 1996: the Macarena.<br />
Our 15th Reunion is quickly<br />
approaching and will take place May<br />
20, 21, and 22. Additional information<br />
will follow. Planning for this<br />
event will start this fall. If you are<br />

the Alumni Relations Office or send<br />
me an email. ¶ Congratulations are<br />
in order for Kacy Soderquist and Joe<br />
Zurkus, who were married this summer<br />
in Peru. It was a beautiful day<br />
for Kacy and Joe. ¶ I look forward<br />
to hearing from everyone and more<br />
importantly seeing you this spring.<br />
We have a great deal to catch up on.<br />
¶ Best, Tara<br />
