REGIS TODAY<br />
Medicine, in a solo practice, doing<br />
hospitalization, and attending on a<br />
Family Practice Residency. Her<br />
husband Raul, who works in this<br />
business too, helps her wonderfully<br />
raising their wonderful daugthers:<br />
Yuliana, 16, who already got her<br />
driver’s license (“going nuts”) and is<br />
planning to study International<br />
Relations, and Vera, 12, who plans to<br />
be a chef. She is still involved at Girl<br />
Scouts. Krista Barnes Condon had a<br />
baby girl on January 14, 2013! She<br />
named her Kensington Victoria<br />
Condon, nickname “Kensie.” Katie<br />
Sheehan O’Brien just accepted a new<br />
full-time position as an Account<br />
Executive in the Federal Employee<br />
Program at Blue Cross and Blue Shield<br />
of Massachusetts. She has been<br />
working part-time for the past 12 years<br />
since having kids. Now Katie is making<br />
the leap back to full time. Yikes! As<br />
for myself, Catherine Froio, I “retired”<br />
as the Manager of Patient Access for<br />
Norwood Hospital this fall. After 7<br />
years there, it was time for a decision<br />
and I chose my family. Jack is now in<br />
6th grade, Lillian is in 3rd, and<br />
Caroline is in 2nd at the Foxboro<br />
Regional Charter School. I now spend<br />
loads of time with the kids (which they<br />
are “thrilled” about of course! ha!).<br />
Jeff and I have been married since<br />
1997, a wicked long time. I stopped<br />
counting the blissful years after 10.<br />
<br />
getting done thanks in part to more<br />
rest and Pinterest. I hope to learn<br />
how to use an electrical saw and other<br />
power tools this year, so that the<br />
answer to “what did you do at home all<br />
day?” can be more entertaining. As<br />
you remember (or not, ha ha) our<br />
Reunion was a blast. This year on May<br />
18, every <strong>Regis</strong> alumna/us is invited to<br />
celebrate under the tent for a night of<br />
great food, fun entertainment, and live<br />
music. I say we should go back and<br />
meet up again. <strong>Regis</strong> will send out<br />
more details but in honor of all of our<br />
alumni returning to campus, they will<br />
have an all-inclusive party with a<br />
delicious dinner buffet and dancing<br />
and a hosted bar featuring the college’s<br />
signature cocktail, the Towertini. (They<br />
have a cocktail?!) To top it off, they’ll<br />
have a photo booth! Plan for it. Watch<br />
for details on our Class of 1991<br />
Facebook page as well.<br />

Cross Blue Shield of Massachusetts<br />
as a Nurse Case Manager. She and<br />
her sister Jen are constantly together<br />
and Jen’s 2 girls are Lisa’s son’s best<br />
friends. Paige Eaton has a new<br />
job/title at work. She is now a Web<br />
Developer at Digital Loom. In Feb.,<br />
Jennine Giaquinto Lesser and Trinity<br />
Hurlbut Edwards traveled together, with<br />
their clans, to Disney World! Looking<br />
at their Facebook posts, it was clear<br />
that a magical time was had by all! <br />
<br />
the Disney World Wine and Dine, in<br />
November. It was the hardest and most<br />
rewarding physical challenge I’ve ever<br />
done, so I signed up for the Disney<br />
<br />
end of Feb.!<br />

Sarah Gagnon Kravchuk recently<br />
<br />
There’s So Much More to Wear Than<br />
Hair. Sarah wrote and illustrated this<br />
book for young children who have lost<br />
their hair due to medical treatment.<br />
Each page incorporates a creative idea<br />
of something to wear instead of hair.<br />
Her goal in creating this vivid book is<br />
to make the readers, both children and<br />
adults, laugh and let their imaginations<br />
carry them into a fantasy world<br />
for a moment. She was inspired to create<br />
this book after completing her own<br />
brain cancer treatment. Sarah hopes<br />
<br />
their battle, with strength, courage,<br />
and a little creativity. Rosie Martone<br />
and Miriam Finn Sherman visited Marie<br />
Hoegerle in San Antonio, TX for a<br />
fun weekend in Feb. It was Domitilla<br />
Hall all over again!! Marie moved to<br />
San Antonio a few months ago with<br />
Marriott. She will be celebrating her<br />
10-year anniversary with the company.<br />
Nice going Marie! In Oct., Amy Clines<br />
became the Director of Undergraduate<br />
Recruitment at Columbus State U in<br />
Columbus, GA. She and husband Mike<br />
now live in Hamilton and enjoy a more<br />
laid-back living and working environment<br />
in Southwest GA.<br />
