28 REGIS TODAY is her last column. Please join Regis in thanking her. If anyone would like to volunteer to be class reporter, please Advancement and Alumni Relations. 1945 ✒Annette P. Pendergast, 101 Weatherbee Drive, Westwood, MA 02090, 781-326-1230 I’d like to wish each one of you a happy and healthy New Year in 2013. During 2012, however, 2 classmates passed away, Jane Erickson Flanagan on March 27, and Frances Ford O’Toole on Dec. 10. In addition, Jacqueline Penez Criscenti’s husband Joseph passed away on Jan. 3, 2013. Let us remember them in our prayers. This past November 18, the Memorial Liturgy at the college chapel was crowded. Some individuals even stood. Three of us — Doris Lynch, Philomene Winchester Murphy, and myself — represented our class. The brunch was held in the Student Union Dining hall; it was delightful. At our table was Betty Cronin Crane’s stepson David Crane. We reminisced over Bett. Please note: The Annual Fund is now called The Regis Fund. the fund’s constant focus on Regis. As a member of The Regis Fund Executive Committee, I attend the bimonthly meetings held at the College. I still maintain my assignment of being the fund agent of the Class of 1945. I may be calling some of you now and in the future. Our goal this year is $1,102,500 for unrestricted annual giving. 1946 Longtime class reporter Elizabeth Brugman O’Brien passed away on Jan. 9. Regis is honored by her service to the College and prays that she rests in peace. 1947 ✒Phyllis Brosnahan Richardson, 3 Wingate Road, Lexington, MA 02421, 781-862-6262 As a group, we continue to travel and thrive. Marguerite Donovan and her family had a marvelous river cruise from Paris to Provence in late summer. After a beautiful fall on Cape Cod, she spent the winter months in Aruba and St. Maarten. Peg reports keeping up with the walking tours in France— sometimes miles a day! In July 2012, Alice Marie Noonan Cote moved to Bemidji, MN. Her Christmas note was penned on a typical winter day: 20 below and snow. Alice Marie is another one of our many classmates experiencing better living through technology — with 2 knee replacements! She misses FL yet enjoys being close to her son and his family. Rita Dailey Fahey and S. Dorothy McKenzie, CSJ, came to my home for tea over the Christmas holidays. Rita is back driving after a full hip replacement: the November Memorial Liturgy. Rita and her husband Frank celebrated Christmas surrounded by family. Her oldest grandchild is a practicing CPA S. Dorothy is active in the community at Bethany and is excited about her grand- and great-grand-nephews and -nieces. Now that all 7 grandnieces and -nephews have college degrees, the McKenzie Clan is nurturing 5 college-bounds, keeping up with 6 grade-schoolers, and delighting in the wonder of the “little ones.” Gertrude Breen Alfredson, S. Dorothy McKenzie, Jeanne MacDonough Cronin, and Phyllis Gallinelli Campbell gathered for a holiday lunch at Alice Dunbar O’Halloran’s home. Our new class president Alice way to share information about the Regis community and to keep us connected. Catherine Gately McGunigle had quite a brush with Hurricane Sandy. Her home in Far Rockaway, NY, is a mile from the ocean: She got 7 feet of water in the basement! With the help of her son, a pair of generators, and new basement windows, her home is now restored. She is lucky. As I write this, I am pleased to be spending the 2013 winter in Naples, FL, after a challenging 2012 that included extended periods in rehab for a shattered pelvis and then recuperation from heart valve surgery. Grateful for the thoughts and prayers of so many, my husband Al and I look forward to more fun and adventure in Naples and Cape Cod! Dorothy Mahoney McKenna continues to thrive in her new apartment living. Dot’s busy taking trips to theater and family celebrations. The Regis community remembered 4 of our classmates at the 2012 Memorial Liturgy: Catherine Doyle Curran, Patricia Baatz Murphy, Anne Whalen Owens, and Patricia Kelly Webb. Gert Alfredson said it was “a beautiful service,” followed by a brunch that gave our classmates a chance to reconnect. 1948 65th Reunion ✒Mary Lou Cooney Manning, 4942 Bel Pre Road, Rockville, MD 20853, 301- 460-5992, jemlmanning@msn.com We remember 2 classmates who passed since our last column: Rosemary Cheng Stowe on June 15, 2012, and Margaret “Peggy” Graney Lewis on Sept. 2, 2012. Ann O’Hare Smith wrote to tell us of her storm adventure. She chose to stay at home with no heat and light instead of going to son David’s house. She slept in her clothes on the living room sofa —and survived. I apologize for the brevity, but both John and I have had resisting all our efforts to get rid of it. So I say God bless us all, and return us to good health. 1949 ✒Betty Ann Hynes Elliott, 38 Oxford Road, Wellesley, MA 02481, 781-235- 4697, baelliott2@verizon.net As I write in Jan., snow is falling and most of the country is in the midst of a deep- time this reaches you I presume the weather will have improved considerably and we can enjoy spring at last! For our fall luncheon, held at the Marriott in Newton, only 6 braved the stormy day. Those who did “had a great time,” according to Cay Foley Hines. Marion Comerford Cowie drove up from the Cape, Betty Perrault Joyce from Weymouth, Mary O’Brien Pratt from Woodville, Mary Breslin from Charlestown, Eileen Dewire Locke from Billerica, and Cay Hines from Medford. There weren’t many taking in the lobster cruise from the Cape last summer either, but Lois Moulton McWeeney and Cay did and had a wonderful time. Again the Hollyfest in December was held at the Dan’l Webster Inn in Sandwich. Nancy Natoli Fay, Dot Costello Merrill, Dot Waldron Fitzgerald, Marion Cowie, Betty Joyce, and everfaithful Cay Hines attended, enjoying a delicious meal as well as remarks from Regis President Antoinette M. Hays, PhD, RN. Dr. Hays updated them on the latest developments at the College. Both Dot Fitzgerald and Jane Dawson McKearin have joined the leisure-living crowd. Dot and her husband Nick claim Heatherwood in Yarmouthport as their new home. Jane lives at Century Hill in York, ME, near the NH border area where she taught and brought up her family, some of whom still live nearby. Mary Hines Hodgdon leads a busy retirement after teaching in the Waltham Public Schools. She uses her teaching skills volunteering at St. Jude’s school in Waltham. Mary is active in her parish, Our Lady Help of Christians, in Newton. Meanwhile her 7 children and their families make sure she doesn’t get lonesome. Mary enjoys cheering for the Bruins, Red Sox, and Patriots. Ann Bolger Mangum’s husband emailed that Ann passed away on Dec. 20, 2012, at their home in Sun City Center, FL, after a long battle with gastric-esophageal cancer. He said “even though she had graduated from Regis over 60 years ago, it was always near and dear to her and she was very proud to have gone there.” Abie had 2 sons, 1 of whom died at 36 from
