class notes 1973 Barton Cameron Diana Lee Crew reconnects with fellow alumni with her latest update. "I attended Latin from kindergarten through fourth grade and wonder what my elementary school friends are up to. I have been living in Denver and working for Dr. Robert Ballard, on ocean exploration programs. Interestingly, I have been in Chicago quite a few times working with Chicago Public Schools and the Field Museum at various points in the past 10 years. I am married, and have two great kids; my son, Robby, is a sophomore at Santa Clara University. My daughter, Katherine, is in her senior year at East High school in Denver. She is an avid skier and just won the Canadian Open Extreme Skiing Junior Women's Championship in Red Mountain, skiing for the Vail Ski and Snowboard Club. She is looking forward to college." Renee Edelman reports: "I live in New York City, and my parents and younger brother John and his wife Suzie Krohan live in Chicago." Barb Mandle Feld lives in Colorado and has three children, a 24-year-old son who is in graduate school, a 20-year-old son in junior college, and a 15-year-old daughter who's in high school and says she is never leaving home! Barb's husband is a film producer. Gregg Ferguson was sorry to miss the 35th reunion this fall. He is still in high-tech (computer storage), though he left Hitachi last fall. Greg and his wife, Lucia, live just south of D.C., off the water. They have a grandson, 10, and a granddaughter in kindergarten. Ruthee Jonas Goldkorn writes: "Hey Chicagoland! I miss you all and I miss my hometown. You can take the girl out of Chicago, but you can never take Chicago out of the girl! We ate authentic Chicago pizza to break the Yom Kippur fast. We do every year. We have an old-time, multigenerational Chicago family restaurant here in 1 Moreno Valley. Of all places! I tell all these fair weather sports fans out here in So Cal (you know the ones who leave at half time or the 7th inning?) we Cubs fans can always have our sanity checked but never our loyalty. My family had to go to Arizona for a high school girls travel club basketball tournament so I took myself to the UCLA/Washington State football game that was the same night as the Cubs game at Chavez Ravine and I wore my Cubs shirt and my Cubs jacket and my Cubs hat. My one night out and my one chance to show off my team and . . . well, you know what happened. Peter is happily teaching government, history and college prep at Colton High School for the sixth year, Sasha is a fifth year senior and playing her last college basketball season at Claremont McKenna College and she will start either Arizona State University or San Diego State for her MBA in the Fall." Pieri Orfei Murphy was a corporate lawyer for 12 years and then stayed home with three kids. "I am now looking for legal work but it is not easy reentering the profession so I am working as a location manager in the film business. Very fun." April Swenson writes: "October 11, 2008 was our class' 35th Reunion, at the middle school. It was very strange for me, as I haven't been back to the school for at least five years. What was fun was knowing that my nephew (Mark's sister, Janet's, son, Alex) now attends the middle school, and how different, yet the same it all is. Brave attendees came from far and near: Carol Detweiler McClellan came in from Oakland, CA, and Kate Weese came from Kensington, CA. Michael Pink, Bob Weiss, Tom Garmisa, Jerry Meites and I were the locals. As for me and my family, my kids are getting older (Tom will be 25 and Julie will be 22 this year!), both are still in school and 2 1 Diana Crew '73. 2 Robert Van Mell, Jimmy Adinamis, Abbe Anderson, and Lawrence Hedblom (all '74) at our second annual New Year's Luncheon. 34 Latin Magazine
