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 />

Jennifer Morrissey Irizarry changed<br />

jobs and now works for Tufts Health<br />

Plan as a Clinical Pharmacist. She<br />

of the veterinary pharmacy<br />

elective at MA <strong>College</strong> of Pharmacy<br />

and Health Services. In her spare time<br />

she trains to compete in the Foam Fest<br />

5K in July. Lisa Morrissey Wu had<br />

her second son on November 5, Aiden<br />

YuJing. She has a 3-year-old named<br />

Avery DaJing. Lisa just left her job<br />

as a Nurse Manager to work for Blue<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 />
