REGIS TODAY 

Last spring, the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith 

(CDF) in Rome questioned the Leadership Conference of Women 

Religious (LCWR) for some of its work with a social justice lobby, 

Network. At the same time, although unrelated, the CDF also 

questioned Sister Margaret Farley, RSM, a Yale ethicist, for her 

book Just Love, saying that her academic inquiry did not convey 

Catholic teaching. 

Across the Atlantic, people felt, at the very least, that the timing 

of the CDF was off or that it lacked communication sensitivity in a 

Church wounded by the clerical sexual abuse crisis. 

Catholics of all stripes around the United States affirmed the 

value and importance of religious sisters in our religious history, 

talking with love and affection about the work they have done 

in this country teaching, healing, and helping countless human 

beings. Both Catholic and secular media picked up the story. 

To his credit, while many bishops were silent, our own 

Archbishop, Cardinal Seán O’Malley, OFM, Cap., lamented the 

perception that the Church does not welcome women. “It’s a great 

concern,” he said to a Boston Globe reporter. “The last thing the 

church needs is more controversies. As we try to evangelize people, 

we are trying to get them to focus on the centrality of Christ and 

trying to promote family life and service to the poor, and I see 

these things as great distractions sometimes.” 

This summer, Sister Simone Campbell and other Sisters from Network launched “Nuns on 

the Bus,” a lobbying campaign that traveled from the Midwest to Washington, D.C., visiting 

soup kitchens, homeless shelters, and congressional offices to point out the social service work 

of Catholic sisters and protest the House Republican budget. On September 5, Sister Simone 

made a well-received presentation at the Democratic National Convention in which she 

affirmed Catholic social teachings the bishops also affirm. 

I thought of the Dominican sisters who taught me in my childhood and the Sisters of Saint 

Joseph I have known in over 27 years of service at Regis College. I also thought of the Sister 

of Notre Dame who serves on our Board, and of Sister Clare Dawson, C.P., whom our students 

have known in her mission in Villa El Salvador, Peru, through seven years of community 

service trips. Recently I had the pleasure of meeting Sister Mary Owens, IBVM, who operates 

the pioneer and premier orphanage in Nyumbani, Kenya, where a number of our students and 

faculty visited in May as part of the Christian Immersion experience sponsored by our friend, 

Kathryn Erat. 

Politics aside, the Sisters we know are highly educated and accomplished women who, with 

faith, hope, and charity, address the realities of families needing food, children and elders who 

have been socially abandoned, immigrants caught by human trafficking, the poor trying to 

make ends meet, and generations of students struggling to get an education, accepting all, as 

the CSJs put it, as “dear neighbors,” without distinction. This work, too, is what American religious 

freedom is about and holds a worthy place among the aims of Catholic liberal education. 

I am proud to be one of the Sisters’ heirs in the great transition from religious orders to lay 

leadership in American Catholic colleges and universities. Here at Regis, we all salute you, 

Sisters. You are the salt of the earth and we strive to follow in your footsteps.

Dressing 

for Meaning 

Early this fall, the Carney Gallery exhibited 

two artists who reinterpreted familiar 

objects in a new way: Virginia Fitzgerald 

and David Lang. 

Fitzgerald, who in 2006 began The 

Dress Project, has created well over 

400 dresses in wildly divergent media. 

Many of the dress sculptures have deep 

meaning for her and others. “In Memory 

Of,” on exhibit at Carney [right] contains 

dog tags and photographs of soldiers 

killed in Iraq. Another, “Dear Jeff,” 

[bottom right] was commissioned by a 

man whose wife was killed in the Twin 

Towers during 9/11. Others are more 

whimsical. Fitzgerald has recently been 

making little origami dresses on which 

she writes fortunes, like “May this dress 

bring you peace,” and she places them 

in random public spots. 

“The dress is my soapbox,” said 

Fitzgerald. “I hope to add a little joy, 

happiness, lightness into our life.” 

“Eat Your Vegetables,” 

went in the crock pot 

for dinner. 

“Wedding Dress,” the 

first official dress of The 

Dress Project, was made 

on Wells Beach, Maine. 

Inset: The bottom of the 

dress is a tangle of wires 

adorned with mini dog tags 

onto which are attached 

photos of dead soldiers. 

“Dear Jeff,” is made 

partly of notes written 

by a woman killed in the 

Twin Towers on 9/11.

Kenya Connection 

This fall, Regis welcomed special guest Sister Mary Owens, 

IBVM, a psychologist and the director of the pioneer orphanage 

for children with HIV in Nyumbani, Kenya. It is the largest 

such facility in Kenya and offers unparalleled medical, educational, 

and social benefits to the more than 100 children who 

live there. 

A Regis group had visited Nyumbani 

in the spring as part of an academic 

seminar with a focus on health. They 

were led by Professor Nancy Bittner, 

Associate Professor Lauress Wilkins, 

and former lecturer Lorna Rinear. 

Father Angelo D’Agostino, SJ, 

founded the orphanage 20 years ago 

in the village of Nyumbani and, 

Sister Mary Owens 

despite many obstacles, he succeeded in developing a thriving 

home for children and in keeping the village and its network of 

families intact. At the time of the founding, the village had lost 

many adults due to AIDS, leaving only elders and children. 

As Sister Mary Owens put it in an anniversary newsletter, 

“through Father D’Agostino’s faith in God’s guidance, courage 

in the face of misunderstanding, and perseverance despite 

betrayal, his vision for Nyumbani has been realized beyond 

what even he envisaged at the foundation.”

PRAYERS & CONDOLENCES 

During the week of 

September 20–27, the Regis 

College community suffered 

two devastating losses and 

undertook a remarkable 

journey of grief and love. 

A car accident on the evening 

of Thursday, September 

20, took the life of Darner 

Alteon ’14, a well-known 

and well-respected junior 

and track runner, on his 

way home to Milton after 

attending a poetry reading 

on campus. A week later, 

a Thursday afternoon 

motorcycle crash on nearby 

Chestnut Street killed 

much-loved biology major 

and lacrosse co-captain 

Michael Kaplan ’13 from 

Braintree. Peter Leighton ’15 

of Wilmington was seriously 

injured in the motorcycle 

crash but is recovering, and 

we will soon welcome him 

back to campus. 

The College has experienced 

a great outpouring 

of faculty and staff concern. 

Our students’ outreach to 

each other, both undergraduate 

and graduate, united 

them in community participation 

at memorials on 

campus and wakes and 

funerals in greater Boston 

and in the embrace of 

Darner’s and Michael’s 

families. On October 2 we 

postponed the celebration 

of Founders’ Day and the 

Cap and Gown Investiture 

of our senior class, which 

mark the heritage and values 

of the Sisters of St. Joseph. 

In reality, however, our 

grieving campus has been 

living those values of inclusiveness 

and excellence with 

gentleness that come from a 

profound encounter with the 

love of neighbor and what 

it reveals about our humanity 

and the love of God. May 

Michael and Darner rest 

in peace.

“Watershed Moment” 

for Haiti Project 

Twelve Haitian nursing professors have 

returned to Haiti after spending six weeks at 

Regis taking master-level courses and shadowing 

nurses at local Boston hospitals as part 

of the Regis College Haiti Project. After two 

years, the project is still going strong; and with 

a grant from the Clinton Bush Haiti Fund, its 

future is assured. 

A collaboration among the Regis College 

School of Nursing, Science and Health 

Professions, Haiti’s Ministry of Health, and the 

University of Haiti, this innovative program’s 

goal is to educate nursing leaders in Haiti, who 

will go on to continue to teach the next generation 

of Haitian nurses. 

“It has been a personal honor to work with 

such an incredible group of global nursing 

leaders, and I am incredibly pleased that— 

thanks to a generous $462,800 grant from 

the Clinton Bush Haiti Fund—we will have the 

opportunity to continue this partnership for 

years to come,” said Sheila Davis, Director of 

Global Nursing for PIH. 

“ Take a leap! Be open to 

leaving your comfort zone 

to seek growth opportunities 

to become all you can be.”

An App for the Pap 

Women’s Health Goes High-Tech 

By RACHeL MORTON 

6 

REGIS TODAY 

For 23 years, Stacy Christensen has heard just about 

every misconception in the book about Pap Tests. 

Does cervical cancer run in the family Many 

women think it does, but it does not. 

Does a Pap screen for STDs No, it only screens 

for one STD—HPV (Human Papillomavirus). Women 

contract that virus through unprotected sex, and 99 

percent of all cervical cancer is caused by HPV. 

Will a Pap screen for cancer of the ovaries or the 

uterus No, it only screens for cancer of the cervix. 

A nurse practitioner in Connecticut, Christensen 

has done “probably thousands” of Paps. She is 

also in a tenure-track teaching position at Central 

Connecticut State University, and she has a family— 

a husband and two boys, 15 and 18. 

So her plate is full, but she has made it even fuller. 

For the past two years, Christensen has been commuting 

to Regis to attend the DNP (Doctor of Nursing 

Practice) program. For her Capstone Project this 

year, she decided to address those common Pap Test 

misconceptions by creating an informative tool to 

help women understand the Pap and their gynecological 

health. Her teaching vehicle is not a book or an 

article, an infomercial or a website. It’s a mobile app. 

Called “MyPapp,” it helps educate women about 

the Pap Test and teaches them about female anatomy. 

It is an easy to use, interactive application that 

is free and can be used in the privacy of one’s 

own home. 

Christensen is by no means a computer expert, 

so creating an application was a difficult hurdle 

to surmount. But a nursing informatics class spurred 

her interest in the project—health informatics is 

all about technology and health, two fields that 

are rapidly intertwining as the health profession 

attempts to improve patient outcomes through the 

use of technology. 

To build a computer application, most people 

hire programming professionals and pay many thousands 

of dollars to turn their ideas into applications. 

Christensen didn’t have those kinds of resources, so 

she sought help from a professor at Trinity College, 

Dr. Ralph Morelli, who had experience with a program 

called App Inventor. He helped her work her 

way through programming a computer application. 

“I never thought I could do it,” Christensen admits. 

“But I did it with a free program and I did it myself.” 

She also created the app in Spanish because in her 

culture class she learned that Hispanic women have 

a much higher chance of dying of cervical cancer. 

The result received immediate attention. 

Christensen was invited to present MyPapp at an 

App Inventor Summit at MIT this summer. “I’m not 

a computer geek so I was living proof that someone 

like myself could use this programing platform.” 

She coauthored a paper with Dr. Morelli that 

was accepted for publication in CIN: The Journal 

of Computers, Informatics, and Nursing. Christensen 

recently presented MyPapp in a poster presentation 

at the national DNP conference in St. Louis. And 

MyPapp was recognized among the “100 Best of 2012 

Nurse Practitioner Round-Up” by the Online Nurse 

Practitioner Programs website. 

People involved with health education understand 

that this kind of private, personal access to sensitive 

health information could be of great benefit to women. 

For where do women learn about their bodies, about 

what happens in a gynecologist’s office Some women


“MyPapp helps educate 

women about the Pap 

Test and teaches them 

about the female anatomy.” 

might have attended health classes when they were 

girls, but most depend upon the information they 

get at a doctor’s office. And the atmosphere could not 

be less conducive to learning there—especially for a 

young woman going in for the first time. 

“You go in for your first exam,” Christensen 

says. “you are sitting on crinkly paper and you are 

a basket case.” 

She explains that patients retain probably 10 to 

15 percent of what they hear in a doctor visit. So even 

if the Pap is explained, the chances that a woman 

remembers and takes that information away with 

her is remote. Plus many women are reluctant to ask 

questions regarding the gynecological exam because 

of embarrassment. 

So there’s a lot to learn, and to un-learn, and 

Christensen has got that covered with her friendly, 

interactive MyPapp application, which can be downloaded 

for free onto a smartphone or other electronic 

device via the Android program. (It is currently not 

yet available for download on Apple products.) 

The informal feedback has been very positive so 

far. “One woman said she learned things she’d never 

dared ask her provider because she was so embarrassed 

by what she didn’t know,” says Christensen, 

who thinks women like the privacy and ease of use. 

“It’s not your Angry Birds or fancy apps like 

that,” she laughs, “but it is very interactive. you 

tap on the ovary and it says, ‘This is the ovary—it 

releases eggs.’ ” 

Christensen’s Capstone Project represented a 

great blend of nursing knowledge and technology 

expertise—the kind of interdisciplinary effort that is 

becoming increasingly important in the health field. 

“This Capstone has been a phenomenal experience,” 

says Christensen. “It exceeded all my expectations.”

REGIS TODAY 

What got you interested in studying history 

I grew up on Federal Hill in Providence which 

(although it’s pretty trendy now) 40 years ago was 

what I guess you’d call a very ethnic neighborhood. 

I was always that kid that actually wanted to hear 

the older generation tell their stories about their 

experiences in diverse regions of southern Italy. This 

was a tremendous cultural experience for me that 

certainly had an impact on my own sense of identity. 

By the time I was in high school it became pretty 

clear that the study of history would become my path. 

I was an active member of the local historical society 

before I could even drive. I was fascinated with 

things like landscape as a form of memory and began 

to really see the importance of historic preservation. 

But at the same time I always knew that it was the 

stories that gave life to these things. Objects do tell 

stories and as long as there were people willing to 

add to the narrative which might help uncover those 

stories, I was willing to listen. 

Was there a moment when history became personal 

I think the experience that changed my life forever 

was my summer in Italy. I fell in love with the history, 

but more with the heritage. You just can’t escape 

it there. Everyone and everything has a story to tell. 

I found that those old timers in Providence who told 

stories of the old country weren’t “Italian”—they were 

Neopolitan, Sicilian, Calabresi, etc. Even the language 

we spoke in the neighborhood—which I always 

believed to be Italian until I travelled through Italy 

trying to use it!—barely resembled Italy’s national 

language. It was a linguistic hybrid of southern dialects—which 

my later studies revealed to be hybrids 

of the dialects that preceded them—and broken 

English. I was a hybrid. We were a hybrid. Yet we all 

had this odd notion of collective identity, even if it 

was in many ways invented and in a sense connected 

back to what is essentially an imagined geography. 

When did you decide to become a teacher 

Italy opened my eyes to a whole new way of viewing 

history. It also caused me to hate just about 

every history course I took after that point. Though 

I completed my degree a few years later, the following 

September, rather than going back to Providence 

College, I started working in construction doing 

mostly carpentry work and painting. With construction 

paying the majority of the bills, I tried my hand 

at several things—teaching middle school social studies 

for a few years, designing educational technology 

for a software developer, taking on historic preservation 

jobs, starting an interior design business which 

focused on historic reproduction, teaching in a tech 

school, and eventually teaching in college (at Salve 

Regina University and Community College of Rhode 

Island). It stopped there. I knew I had found it. And 

other than a minor setback—a year of treatment and 

recovery for cancer in 2005—I made it work. 

Why is Regis a good fit for you 

I was asked this question when I first arrived here 

and jokingly I responded that the two faculty members 

who interviewed me, Sister Betty Cawley and 

Ernie Collamati, “had me at hello!” 

I dropped everything for Regis. It was one of those 

indescribable moments when you sort of just know. 

I guess I should apologize up front for my romantic 

view of life, but I saw this opportunity at Regis metaphorically 

as someone handing me a blank canvas 

and a set of brushes directing me to create what I had 

always envisioned, or to paraphrase Thoreau, to build 

foundations under the castles I had built in the sky. I 

remember Russ Pottle, the dean who hired me, said 

in my last interview: “Now you need to understand, 

this isn’t your garden-variety faculty position.” And 

all I could think was: “SOLD!”

questions & 

answers 

10 

REGIS TODAY 

Can you describe your approach to history 

In the first couple of years my program’s motto was: 

“Regis College is changing history!” 

And it really was. My approach to history is based 

on a hybrid model that borrows heavily from the 

field of anthropology, but really stretches across the 

traditional liberal arts disciplines. My own graduate 

education was an interdisciplinary one and my most 

influential professors and mentors were very progressive; 

their courses were based largely in post-modern 

theoretical models, and this approach becomes very 

visible in the work I do. I try to engage the historical 

narrative holistically. 

I see the written record as one form of historical 

artifact and believe that it is essential to put that 

record in conversation with other historical artifacts 

—things like material culture (art, architecture, 

landscape, textiles, archaeological artifacts, etc.); 

alternative forms of written culture (literature and 

poetry); and cultural artifacts, essentially cultural 

memory (folklore, oral tradition, and personal narratives, 

prayers, rituals, etc.). This approach brings the 

study outside of the archives and requires fieldwork, 

ethnography, and oral history in addition to a different 

kind of interpretation—a more open-ended, 

holistic one. 

If you could live in another culture and another time, 

what would that be and why 

Okay, this is totally a selfish reason. I’d love to go 

back to the Cilento Coast of Italy in the ninth century. 

I’m dying to know if my theories about the 

religious culture of that place and time are even 

close to what was really there. Who knows I could 

be way off base! One caveat—once I have my answer, 

I’d want to come back! 

If you were analyzing your own personal history, what 

threads would you identify and study 

Oh my goodness! God bless the person who would 

have the ill fate of analyzing my personal history! It’s 

just so, I don’t know, circuitous I guess you might say. 

I’m a strange mix of curious—adventurous even, academic, 

yet totally blue collar, both intellectual (even 

contemplative at times) and downright silly. I am not 

sure I know what I want to be when I grow up! My 

circle of friends contains the most ridiculous cast of 

characters—of course I use that term in an endearing 

way. I think I’d confuse the daylights out of anyone 

analyzing my history. 

What is your current research project 

Years ago, I started working on a project in an amazingly 

picturesque fishing village, Castellabate, in 

southwest Italy. I was there researching the Castle 

of the Abbot, a typical Norman-era fortified settlement 

built in the early 12th century by a Benedictine 

Abbot who served as the ecclesiastical baron there. 

The region was essentially untouched by American 

scholars and I was there to tell the story of power 

relations between the Normans, their Benedictine 

administrators, local merchants, and the town’s 

inhabitants. I found everything I needed to tell this 

story but it was in every way your standard “garden 

variety” historical narrative.

“This approach brings 

the study outside of the 

archives and requires 

fieldwork, ethnography, 

and oral history.” 

After speaking with some of the elderly fishermen 

who, from nearby benches, gazed out at the 

boats pulling in the day’s catch, I stumbled into the 

historical conundrum that forever changed me as 

a scholar. These men told me tales of mermaids, 

shipwrecks, and a courageous mariner who was cast 

into the sea only to be saved by the town’s patroness, 

Saint Mary of the Sea. One guy, who voluntarily 

disclosed himself as illiterate, essentially recited, 

in the Cilentan dialect (which is an amazing sociolinguistic 

study in itself), book five of Homer’s 

Odyssey. I spent the next year studying the earliest 

Greek settlements on that particular coast and 

traced some of the cults and rituals associated 

with that area through the Roman period and into 

the early Medieval. The written record essentially 

begins with the Benedictine arrival, and as one 

might guess the material record confirms major 

changes in terms of veneration at that point. I guess 

the rest is history—for me anyway. 

I began employing the methods I had learned 

from anthropology and using some of the models 

employed by the early ethnohistorians who were 

working with the Native American populations in 

the southwestern United States. Over the years 

I’ve adopted, perhaps adapted would be a better 

term, these strategies hoping to fill in the very 

obvious gaps in written history and attempting to 

circumvent some of the particularly lopsided aspects 

of the formal narrative. It fit. It worked. It became 

the model I use with my students today at Regis. 

A few years ago Castellabate was named as one 

of UNESCO’s World Heritage Sites, and almost 

immediately following a very influential movie, 

Benvento al Sud (Welcome to the South), was 

filmed there. What resulted is a researcher’s dream; 

although, it might also be seen as a native villager’s 

nightmare. The landscape, at pace with the new 

economy, is changing drastically. The marina is full 

of foreign yachts while small fishing vessels, once a 

source of self-sufficiency, have disappeared. The language 

has changed. Sustainability in both cultural 

terms and economic terms is challenged. Even the 

public historians there have begun marketing their 

books on “local history” to the tourists. The poetry, 

the music, and the festivals all tell a rather lamenting 

tale. What was gained And at what price 

The project does more than provide context for 

our students. It provides tools that can be adapted 

to life in New England and beyond that. Last year 

we found similar conditions right here in Gloucester. 

Our students responded to the call for help. They 

collected the oral histories and recorded the narratives 

describing the plight of New England fishermen 

and the impact of tourism on the landscape. 

This history was then converted into a musical by 

Professor Wendy Lement and her theatre students 

here at Regis and it was a huge success. 

When you are not involved in history (teaching, 

researching, etc.) what do you like to do 

I can say that family is the most important thing 

in my life. I am fortunate that my wife and 10-year 

old son share many of the same interests—and my 

one-and-a-half year old daughter is too young to 

argue about it! They entertain my tendency to drag 

them around to various museums and heritage sites. 

When it comes to eating dinner, I’d like to think they 

get their reward for putting up with me. I love to 

cook and will actually spend hours food shopping. 

I pride myself on putting on the table (again, what 

I’d like to believe is) a gourmet dinner every night 

(unless of course if I’m teaching a night course— 

then it’s take-out!). 

Besides that I really love the outdoors. I enjoy 

the landscape and find something to do in just about 

every season—whether it’s fishing, hunting, mushrooming, 

or something more mundane like riding my 

Harley through country roads, or even just chasing 

my beagles through the woods! 

But I’d argue that even these things connect back 

somehow to my heritage. These are things that 

I’ve inherited. One of my favorite, in fact, is wine 

making. I am happy to know that I am carrying on 

something that would have otherwise been lost in 

my generation.

Her dream 

for 

Liberia

in the dark on a cold street bench, 

numb inside and sad to her core. 

It was November 1985, and the 

new college graduate and aspiring 

banking/finance professional 

had just finished a routine work 

day in downtown Boston while 

at that very moment, in a cruel 

twist of fate, her father was being 

buried thousands of miles away in 

Monrovia, Liberia. 

Over the next two decades, 

Liberia would continue to be a 

source of unimaginable heartache for Harmon-Rogers. The West African country, created 

with promise by freed American slaves and characterized by lush tropical rainforests 

and a colorful indigenous culture, would be nearly destroyed by two horrific 

civil wars and rampant government corruption. Fourteen years of strife would leave 

Liberia’s economy in ruins, healthcare and education at a standstill, the capital city 

without water or electricity, and 250,000 people dead. But the women of Liberia never 

gave up hope during those tumultuous years. Under the leadership of Liberia’s first 

female president, Nobel Peace Prize winner Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, 

elected in 2005, Liberian women fought peacefully for their beloved 

homeland. They are credited with Liberia’s fragile rebirth and tenuous 

stability. Harmon-Rogers is one of these women. 

Her journey began quietly enough, in typical teenage fashion. 

“Buff,” as Harmon-Rogers is known to family and friends, was living 

in Liberia and deciding on a college. Her police director father, 

a Michigan State University alumnus, wanted something small and 

safe for the third of his eight children. 

“My aunt graduated from Regis in the 1950s and the wife of 

Liberia’s former secretary of state was a graduate,” said Harmon- 

Rogers about the Liberia-Regis connection. Two cousins, Sharon 

Cooper and Lafayetta Harmon, graduated from Regis as well. 

(Lafayetta is deceased and Sharon is currently the UNHCR special representative 

to Ghana.) “I wasn’t thrilled about the all-girl thing,” she laughed. “But I had never 

ventured outside of Africa and was ready for an adventure. I was excited to go to 

America, a place I had heard about my entire life. We grew up reading about the U.S. 

and watching American TV shows. I visited Regis in March and still remember my tour 

guide vividly and how beautiful the campus was. I was so excited when I received my 

acceptance letter.” 

REGIS TODaYCecelia Harmon-Rogers ’85 sat alone 

her family was 

Part of liberia’s 

americo-liberian 

grouP who 

descended from 

freed slaves.

Harmon-Rogers’ family was part of 

Liberia’s Americo-Liberian group, an 

estimated 5 percent of the population who 

descended from freed slaves. Her ancestors 

trace back to a plantation in Delaware 

and Gibson Island and South Baltimore 

in Maryland. In 1819, the United States 

Congress appropriated $100,000 for the 

establishment of Liberia by the American 

Colonization Society, led by prominent 

Americans such as Henry Clay, Daniel 

Webster, and President James Monroe, 

for whom the capital city is named. 

The first group of settlers arrived in 

1820 and in 1847 founded the Republic of 

Liberia, establishing a government modeled 

on that of the United States, one that 

advocated freedom and equality. Liberia 

continued to modernize throughout the 

20th century with American assistance 

and displayed high rates of economic 

growth throughout the 1950s, thanks to 

foreign investment. Actively involved in 

international affairs, Liberia was a founding 

member of the United Nations and a 

vocal critic of South African apartheid. 

The political and economic climate in 

Liberia remained relatively calm throughout 

Harmon-Rogers’ youth. She recalls a 

middle-class upbringing filled with laughter 

and delicious African cuisine courtesy 

of her mother, Sylvia, a professional chef. 

Later, as Harmon-Rogers settled into college 

life in tranquil Weston, Mass., turmoil 

began brewing in Liberia. In a military 

coup, Samuel Doe of the Krahn tribal 

group overthrew the Americo-Liberian 

leadership in 1980, murdering President 

William Tolbert and executing his cabinet. 

Far from the upheaval of her homeland, 

Harmon-Rogers felt the personal pressure 

of familial expectation. “My parents 

made a major financial sacrifice so that I 

could study abroad and I didn’t want to let 

them down,” she said. “The last words my 

father said to me in person were: ‘We are 

depending on you.’ ” This sentiment resonated 

with Harmon-Rogers and gave her 

strength during the four years she lived 

apart from her family. 

“Holidays were hard,” she admitted, 

recalling classmates such as Mary 

Crimmins Adgate ’84, Linda Moroni ’83, 

Sarah Harpley Brukilacchio ’85, and Peggy 

Keegan ’84 who opened their homes on 

Thanksgiving and Christmas. During the 

summer months, Harmon-Rogers scrambled 

to find a place to live, writing letters 

to extended family members in New York 

and Virginia in search of a place to stay. 

“This was very unsettling. I couldn’t wait 

to get back to Regis where life was stable,” 

she said. 

She flourished there, majoring in economics 

and establishing close friendships 

with classmates and faculty. Sister Zita 

Fleming, then dean of students, provided 

much-needed guidance. “She made my 

experience bearable and became a motherpresence 

to me,” Harmon-Rogers said. 

Sister Zita remembers a young woman, 

“full of light and love and fun.” Classmate 

Keegan was struck by Harmon-Rogers’ 

inquisitive and pensive nature and 

Harpley Brukilacchio recalls a chance 

meeting freshman year that developed 

into a lifelong kinship. “Harpley/Harmon: 

We shared a mailbox,” she said. 

Ever self-reliant, Harmon-Rogers 

secured a part-time job as a bookkeeper 

with a Boston real estate firm and 

learned to navigate the MBTA with ease. 

Sometimes exploration was necessary. 

“There weren’t any Weston hairdressers 

who could cut black hair so I had to find 

one,” she said of her trips to an ethnic hair 

salon in Copley Square. On other occasions, 

she served as the unofficial tour 

guide for her American and Puerto Rican 

friends. “There I was the foreigner and 

the Boston expert,” she chuckled. 

Graduation was bittersweet. Harmon- 

Rogers reunited briefly with her visiting 

mother and then moved on to the 

next phase of her life in the States. She 

accepted a permanent job with the real 

estate company and moved into a sixbedroom 

house in Newton with Harpley 

Brukilacchio and several Regis classmates. 

And then the news arrived that 

Harmon-Rogers’ father, Edwin, had died. 

“My mother told me not to come home 

for the funeral. It was unsafe to travel in 

Liberia after another attempted military 

coup. I hadn’t seen my father in four years 

and now he was gone,” she said. Harmon- 

Rogers detected loneliness in her mother’s 

voice when they spoke by phone every 

Sunday. She quit her job and booked her 

airline ticket.

REGIS TODAY 

Rebels had hand 

grenades strapped 

across their chests, 

waving machetes in 

the air, high on drugs, 

and dressed crazily in 

women’s dresses and 

army boots. 

Rebels dRagged 

thousands of 

people into the 

stReet. along the 

Road, people lay 

dead and dying. 

Though waves of discontent echoed 

throughout Liberia in the late ’80s, 

Harmon-Rogers was happy there and 

acclimated quickly. She got a job with 

Citibank in customer service and was 

promoted to the treasury department. 

She married William Rogers. But life 

was about to change forever. Rebels from 

the National Patriotic Front of Liberia 

led by Charles Taylor launched an insurrection 

against Doe’s government in 1989, 

leading to the first Liberian civil war. 

The economy came to a grinding halt, 

Citibank closed down, and the capital 

city of Monrovia, where she and her 

family lived, fell under siege. 

“Overnight our community became 

a war zone,” she said. “Armed rebels 

pulled us from our homes by force. 

They were fully armed—hand grenades 

strapped across their chests, waving 

machetes in the air, high on drugs, and 

dressed crazily in women’s dresses and 

army boots. They dragged thousands of 

people into the street, people from different 

neighborhoods and tribal groups, 

and forced us to walk miles in a single 

line. Along the road, people lay dead and 

dying, bodies bloated and unrecognizable. 

But we couldn’t react, couldn’t grieve, or 

the rebels would kill us. They didn’t want 

witnesses. I kept my expression passive 

as I memorized the faces of the dead so 

I could tell their families.” 

Harmon-Rogers trudged along with her 

mother and husband, their only solace 

that the two youngest Harmons were not 

with them. “I sent them out of the country 

before the invasion,” Harmon-Rogers 

explained. “I’d heard that rebels were 

abducting and raping young girls and my 

sister was a teenager. My brother was 6' 4" 

and often mistaken for an American. 

He would be killed on sight.” 

As the ragtag army led the terrorized 

Liberian families, one of the rebels took a 

closer look at William and pulled him out 

of line to be shot. “He accused my husband 

of being from a particular tribe, said his 

features resembled that group. Another 

rebel pointed out scars on William’s ankle, 

insisting they marked him as a government 

soldier,” she recalled. “He’s no 

soldier,” she told them with a laugh. “Just 

a clumsy soccer player who was kicked 

in the ankles.” Seven times she boldly 

intervened, Bible in hand, and with humor 

convinced them otherwise. 

Harmon-Rogers and her family, along 

with 30 other people, were sequestered 

in a 10-by-15 foot office at the overtaken 

University of Liberia’s Fendel Campus. 

They remained there for four months with 

no electricity or running water. Day and 

night they heard piercing screams and 

constant gunfire. There was no privacy 

and rebel interrogations were frequent. 

“We pooled our money and gave it to my 

mother. She scrounged for food and tried 

her best to make our one meal appetizing. 

But there was never enough,” said 

Harmon-Rogers, who was pregnant with 

twins. “I had no medical care and terrible 

morning sickness,” she said. 

Harmon-Rogers’ one possession, her 

Bible, became the kidnapped groups’ lifeline. 

Using her trademark sense of humor 

and enthusiasm, Harmon-Rogers taught 

an informal Bible studies class. “I became 

the encourager. People depended on me to 

keep them going,” she said. “Knowing that 

I was needed lifted a weight off my shoulders. 

I had a job to do.” 

Charles Taylor’s rebels soon split into 

opposing factions and in-fighting broke 

out. The Economic Community of West 

African States, led by Nigeria, intervened. 

They organized a military peacekeeping 

force and released the campus captives. 

Harmon-Rogers and her family returned 

to their desolate Monrovia neighborhood 

and found their home empty. “There was 

nothing left. The rebels had stripped it 

bare. They’d taken everything: our cars, 

furniture, clothes,” she said, noting with

surprise that her wedding dress remained, 

hanging alone in a closet. 

With no functioning medical facilities 

and a blossoming pregnancy, Harmon- 

Rogers knew she must leave the country. 

Her aunt struck a deal. “She gave 

a group of soldiers her house in return 

for transportation to a port where we 

boarded a ship to Ghana,” said Harmon- 

Rogers. When they got to Ghana, the 

twins, Leopold and Maggie, were born 

and the Rogers family eked out a meager 

existence with financial support from 

family living abroad. 

But they always wanted to return home. 

So when word reached the Rogers’ that 

Monrovian banks had reopened, they 

returned to Liberia. It was a brief landing. 

Every time a new chaos erupted, they 

went back to their rented house in Ghana. 

“After our third child, Edwina, was born 

we realized we couldn’t continue this upand-down 

life, as much as we loved our 

country,” she said. 

The family moved to the Ivory Coast 

after another eruption and then immigrated 

to the United States in 2000 

where many Harmon siblings lived. 

William began working at the Ryder 

Transportation System as a diesel 

truck technician, Harmon-Rogers at the 

University of Maryland and later at the 

Liberian Embassy in Washington, D.C. 

She is still there today, serving as the 

finance and administrative officer and 

overseeing human resources. Responsible 

for issuing visas and renewing passports, 

she is a staunch advocate for Liberia and 

is filled with hope for the country’s future 

and her place in it, due in large part to 

the 2011 re-election of Sirleaf, who also 

happens to be her godmother. 

Under Charles Taylor’s dictatorship, 

Liberia had gained a reputation as a corrupt 

country where brutality and anarchy 

reigned. He stepped down as president in 

2003 and in a landmark ruling in 2012, an 

international tribunal found Taylor guilty 

of aiding and abetting war crimes in neighboring 

Sierra Leone’s brutal civil war. He 

was sentenced to 50 years in jail. 

Taylor’s fall from power was hastened 

by intense pressure from the international 

community as well as the Women of 

Liberia Mass Action for Peace movement, 

a group of 3,000 Christian and Muslim 

Liberian women who staged nonviolent 

protests. Documented in the film, Pray 

the Devil Back to Hell, these ordinary 

women, dressed in white to symbolize 

peace, became an unshakeable political 

force and spurred the democratic election 

of the first female president in Africa, 

Ellen Johnson Sirleaf. 

Harmon-Rogers attributes her country’s 

resurgence to the peaceful negotiations 

of Harvard-trained economist Sirleaf. 

“After accumulating three billion dollars 

in debt, Liberia is now a credit-worthy, 

debt-free nation,” said Harmon-Rogers. 

“Development and reconstruction is happening. 

Liberians who were forced to leave 

are returning, reconnecting with their 

communities and bringing back the professional 

training they’ve received in other 

countries. The infrastructure of roads, 

electricity, hospitals, and schools are being 

rebuilt. Progress is slow and sometimes 

frustrating, but it is steady.” 

From her Maryland home, Harmon- 

Rogers reflected on her war-torn years in 

Liberia. Now a senior pastor with Harvest 

Ministries International, Harmon-Rogers 

is philosophical and grateful, and said 

her first-hand experience with civil war 

changed her life. “Tension always existed 

between indigenous tribal groups and settlers 

like me, but war brought us together. 

In that tiny university office, we suffered 

as one, we became allies.” She is confident 

that Liberia is, as she writes, “on the verge 

of redefining herself as a nation of people 

emerging from a critical historical correction 

that should realign her destiny in a 

very positive way.” 

President Sirleaf echoed this belief in 

her commencement address at Harvard 

University’s 2011 graduation: “Today, we 

are proud that young Liberian children are 

back in school, preparing themselves to 

play a productive part in the new Liberian 

society. Our seven-year-olds do not hear 

guns and do not have to run. They can 

smile again,” she said. “We can thus say 

with confidence that we have moved our 

war-torn nation from turmoil to peace, 

from disaster to development, from dismay 

to hope.”

Finding 

Herself 

Crane Fahey ’64 was absently thumbing through a 

magazine when she came upon an image that made 

her do a double take. 

The photograph by Garry Winogrand was entitled World’s Fair, 

New York 1964, and it showed six young women sitting on a bench, 

waiting for a bus. 

What drew her eye was a dress. “It was blue with a Kelly green stripe 

down the center. She recognized that dress—“I wore that dress to 

death.” She also recognized the handbag—her first Etienne Aigner bag. 

“Oh my God, that’s me!” she thought. “That’s us!” 

Seated on the bench with Fahey 

was her Regis roommate Barbara 

Bye, and their classmates Louise 

Brennan, Karen Johnson, Audrey 

Dalton, and Fredda Callaghan. 

It was 1964, and they had just 

graduated from Regis and were on a 

whirlwind one-day trip to New York 

City to see the World’s Fair. 

“We were all exhausted,” she 

remembers. “It was a full day, coming 

from Boston to New York, doing 

the Fair, and going all the way 

back. On the bus ride home, we all 

conked out.” 

Fahey tore the photo from the 

magazine, tucked it away, and eventually 

lost track of it. 

A few years later, while visiting 

her daughter and son-in-law, who 

is a photographer, she was reading 

an issue of Aperture—a photography 

magazine—when she saw the 

photograph again. This time Fahey 

did some research and called the 

Fraenkel Gallery in San Francisco, 

where Winogrand’s work is represented. 

She told them who she was. 

“I am not a nut,” she recalls telling 

the curator of the gallery, “but 

that photograph is of me and my 

Regis College classmates.” 

Winogrand is widely regarded as 

one of the premiere “street photographers” 

of his time. He liked to 

shoot in cities, in crowds, snapping 

moments in time. And he liked 

shooting women. 

“I am subjective in what I photograph,” 

Winogrand said in a 1982 

WNYC series called Creativity 

hosted by Bill Moyers. “Women 

interest me. How they look, how 

they move, their energy.” Many of 

his photographs of women were 

gathered in a book called Women 

are Beautiful—a book Fahey hopes 

to add to her collection one day, 

since this photo is among them.

FALL 12 

Unlike many photographers 

of today, he never asked for his 

subjects’ permission, and probably 

most of them—like Fahey—had 

no idea they were even being 

photographed. 

So that should have been the 

end of it. But it wasn’t. 

Last year, Fahey was reading 

The Boston Globe and there it 

was, World’s Fair, New York 1964, 

illustrating a photography exhibit 

opening at the Museum of Fine 

Arts. This was obviously a message 

from the universe for Fahey 

to get to the MFA and see the 

photograph in person. This time, 

Fahey asked to meet in person 

with the curator, Karen Haas. 

“You have to know that this is a 

very, very famous picture,” Haas 

told Fahey. “It has hung all over 

the world.” The curator suggested 

that Fahey gather as many of her 

old classmates as she could for a 

photograph at the MFA exhibit. 

Only two of her friends— 

Barbara Bye Murdock and Karen 

Johnson Celi—were able to 

make the trip to Boston (Freda 

Callaghan Megan is deceased). 

The three women posed in front 

of the famous photograph, 

and The Boston Globe ran the 

photograph with a little story 

on June 19, 2011, entitled 

“Fair Reunion.” 

So what does it feel like to be 

the subject of a famous photograph 

“It’s fun and so amazing 

to know that we six Regis girls 

have ‘traveled’ all around the 

world!” says Fahey. 

Though he died in 1984 at the 

age of 56, Winogrand’s works are 

still widely exhibited, and his 

photographs are the subject of 

art scholarship. 

Nearly 50 

years after she 

and her Regis 

classmates 

went to the

A New Day 

dawns 

for Regis 

By Rachel Morton


Thinking forward. A look at 

Regis College’s strategic plan.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Thinking forward >>>>

REGIS TODAY 

he past quarter century has been a tough 

time for many small liberal arts colleges. 

Many of those who have not adapted 

have been forced to close their doors. 

Others are surviving, barely—a shadow 

of their former selves. 

Though Regis went through its own difficult years, the 

college is now thriving and ambitiously moving forward 

with a new strategic plan that presents a clear vision for 

the future. 

“There has been a culture shift in the way Regis is 

doing business,” says President Toni Hays. “We are in a 

strategic planning mindset versus a surviving mindset. 

We look for opportunities. We are thinking forward.” 

President Hays presented her vision recently in a 

five-year plan that would build on the core identity and 

mission of Regis, while initiating some exciting new 

areas that position the college well in a changing world. 

“Who is Regis What is Regis” asks President Hays. 

“It’s the sum of its people and their experiences.” It is 

facilities and curriculum, athletics and outreach, and 

charisma. “It is what makes up Regis as an entity and 

an experience.” 

She articulates three main goals that intersect and 

overlap and all work together to define and build Regis’ 

character. Those goals can simply be described as enlarging 

and strengthening our community, cultivating and 

building on our mission, and creating a strong fiscal 

underpinning for both. 

Regis already has a vibrant and diverse community 

of students and faculty. President Hays wants that 

community to grow and she sees new opportunities to 

expand Regis’ works and horizons with partnerships— 

in education, nonprofit, 

and business sectors—and 

in the local communities and 

abroad. These partnerships 

will increase internship, 

service, and mentorship 

opportunities for students. 

Because students are 

increasingly drawn to interdisciplinary 

programs, and 

this blending of disciplines 

is becoming more relevant 

in the job market, President 

Hays’ plan calls for the creation 

of new interdisciplinary 

graduate programs. She also 

envisions new, incisive strategies 

in Catholic and interfaith 

studies to help ease interfaith 

conflict here and abroad and 

a new Institute for Global 

Connections. These initiatives 

will expand the expression of 

the character and community 

of Regis. 

This fall, President Hays 

has also begun the massive 

technological upgrade that 

will make the whole campus 

a classroom without walls by 

distributing iPads to all faculty 

and students and upgrading 

the Wi-Fi by 500 percent.

Her plans for upgrading 

the facility itself are also 

ambitious, including developing 

the East Campus and 

modernizing existing buildings. 

Maintaining a beautiful, 

modern campus will help 

attract new students. 

But to attract those students, 

Regis needs to tell its story, 

and for that a strong communications 

component is part of 

the president’s vision for the 

next five years. 

“We need to get our light out 

from under the bushel basket,” 

she says. “The world needs 

to know about this wonderful 

institution.” 

President Hays’ enthusiasm 

for Regis and for its future 

is evident. 

“I can see clearly how this 

all fits,” she exclaims, pointing 

at the start of the fall semester, Regis College, in one 

giant digital leap, purchased 1,250 iPads and distributed 

them to all full-time students and faculty. The half-amillion-dollar 

investment will increase collaboration 

among students and faculty and turn classrooms into 

dexterous labs of learning. needless to say, recipients 

of the iPads were enthusiastic. 

“The way I see it now is that the iPad is groundbreaking 

in the classroom for those who take advantage of 

it,” says Jonathan Chen, a Resident assistant. He cites 

its convenience for note-taking, organizing material, and 

as a small repository for everything necessary for class. 

“The convenience is just priceless.” 

But it goes way beyond mere convenience. More than 

a dozen faculty have been working with iPads to incorporate 

digital pedagogy into their curriculum design. 

The iPads handed out this fall came with apps tailored 

to the Regis learning community to make them useful in 

course work, interactive class discussions, and in-class 

research. 

“It’s not only about the tools, it’s about the pedagogical 

innovation,” says President Hays. She says that 

“Interactive and participatory teaching and learning are 

part of the new digital world, and Regis is positioned to 

become a leader in this arena.” 

andrea Humphrey, a professor of English at Regis, 

plans to use the iPads to conduct instant surveys of her 

class with a group polling app called eClicker. They’ll 

also use the Keynote app to produce multimedia presentations 

on the material they’re learning, Humphrey says. 

Even more apparent is its usefulness in the health 

fields, where nearly all aspects of a patient’s history and 

treatment are part of a digital record. “Higher education 

is catching up to the interactivity of healthcare and business 

in our digital age,” says Dean Penelope Glynn of the 

School of nursing, Science and Health Professions. 

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> 

Grow 

total voluntary support to 

$5 million 

annually by 2014 

to those three goals—community, 

character, and financial 

support. “Developing these 

centers and programs, creating 

the international footprint, 

building relationships, becoming 

a sophisticated technological 

institution—it’s all part of 

our character, part of our community, 

and will ultimately 

bolster financial engagement. 

“I don’t think our alumni 

are as afraid of change as they 

are of not changing. There is 

enthusiasm and excitement 

as they see Regis thriving,” 

she says. “The vision is that 

Regis will become a signature 

institution in New England 

and beyond.”

move-in day

By ANDReW ClARk 

Every timE a car put on its blinker, poised to enter campus from 

Wellesley Street, the group of maroon- and gold-clad students erupted 

into cheers, waving pom-poms in the air. Did the high spirits and rah-rah 

atmosphere signal a Homecoming game No, but Sunday, September 2, 

was a homecoming of sorts—it was move-in day for 200 incoming freshmen 

about to make a new home at Regis College.

The morning began with 

families lining up at Angela Hall, 

mountains of clothing and furniture 

in tow. Students and their 

families lugged suitcases and 

backpacks, cartons and trunks, 

as well as basketballs and assorted 

sporting equipment, some flat 

screen televisions, and of course 

the occasional teddy bear. 

Bill Fontes, a father from South 

Hadley, Mass., surveyed the twodays’ 

worth of packing wedged into 

his van, musing on the unpacking 

yet to come. “At least I have a 

13-year-old who can do a lot of the 

carrying,” he observed wryly. 

Don Raucher of Florence, Mass., 

helped his daughter Taylor move 

her belongings, including quantities 

of snacks. “My wife seems to 

think that they don’t sell snack 

foods here, so she really stocked 

up,” Raucher joked. “We have a 

lot of Goldfish to unpack.” 

While parents were understandably 

sad to say goodbye to their 

children, many of their children 

were eager for that first taste of 

independence. 

“I really can’t wait to get in there 

and get started,” exclaimed Molly 

Landis as she walked through 

the parking lot towards her new 

dormitory. Landis, who grew up in 

Natick, plans to major in nursing. 

Diante Hopkins was also excited 

to move into his new digs, eager 

to start the next chapter of his life. 

The Milton High School graduate 

says he was drawn to Regis 

because of its location and financial 

aid. His plan is to immerse 

himself in business classes. One 

day he hopes to open his own 

clothing store. 

For some families, move-in 

day was not a simple trip down 

I-95. Some had day-long journeys 

to make. Even though it was 10 

a.m., it had already been a long 

day for the Stimas. They had 

driven up from Edison, N.J.— 

nearly 250 miles away. As Amanda 

Stima stood in line to register, 

her aunt and grandmother waited 

anxiously for instructions about 

what to do next. 

“It was actually a very smooth 

process for us to get here,” said 

Dana Stima, Amanda’s aunt. “And 

the set-up has been great, where 

they have all of these people running 

around to help you move in.” 

Shawn Edie, Regis director of 

housing, says that a well-organized 

and upbeat move-in day is 

important for both students and 

families. Regis did its best to give 

the campus a festive atmosphere— 

a DJ manned a table, blasting 

out throbbing tunes, and a 

refreshment table was set up 

for weary movers. 

For parents and students, the 

atmosphere at move-in day made 

quite the impression. 

“I really like the way things 

are looking here,” said Federico 

Sanchez of East Boston as he 

walked toward registration. 

Sanchez plans to study a combination 

of sports management and 

psychology. For him, the diversity 

of the Regis campus was a crucial 

draw. And though moving out 

of the city was a taxing process, 

it is all going to be worth it in 

Sanchez’s eyes. 

“Before moving out, you 

have to go through everything 

and figure out what you need 

and what you’re missing. But 

I’m really excited to move in 

and get started.”

Dear Alumni and Friends, 

28 

PHILANTHROPY 

I can’t believe another year has passed! Again I have the 

privilege of thanking you for your generosity and support over 

the past fiscal year. I am so pleased to present this to you, the 

Roll of Honor for the 2011–2012 year. As you can see, we are 

truly “Building Regis Together.” 

For the College as a whole, so many important things 

happened in the ’11–’12 fiscal year: we completed a strategic 

plan, gave iPads to all full-time students and faculty to enhance 

learning opportunities in and out of the classroom, increased 

enrollment, and added many new interdisciplinary programs 

for undergraduates and graduates alike. In the Office of 

Institutional Advancement and Alumni Relations (our new, 

expanded name), we celebrate that we exceeded our yearly goals 

for the Annual Fund. Thank you for making this year successful! 

I’m also excited to announce that the Annual Fund has been 

renamed The Regis Fund. We want to make “Regis” front and 

center in all we do. Like the Annual Fund, The Regis Fund 

supports so many crucial initiatives on campus: student financial 

aid, faculty projects, campus maintenance and improvements, 

extracurricular activities, technology advances, and much more. 

As we move forward into the coming months, I am optimistic 

for The Regis Fund and all the other special initiatives our 

creative donors design to build legacies for themselves and their 

loved ones. I also hope we continue to shatter records, especially 

by increasing our alumni participation. We’re way above national 

averages, but we can always do better. 

I look forward to seeing you at our many events. This year, we 

have a focus on networking events even as we continue to hold 

our signature Regis events. I love being a part of this dynamic 

and visionary Regis community. 

Please be in touch with your thoughts and ideas at 

miriam@regiscollege.edu or (781) 768-7222. 

My deepest gratitude and thanks,

Tribute 

Jean Ryan McCall ’55 

Alumna Jean Ryan McCall ’55 passed away on July 21, 2012. Despite suffering 

20 years of illness, Jean lived every day with cheerfulness, dignity and grace. 

She will be remembered as a true lady and generous friend, having brought 

much joy and happiness to those whose lives she touched. 

“Jean was such a dedicated member of the Regis community,” said Christina 

Duggan, Director of Alumni Relations and Annual Giving. “She just loved 

Regis and was so generous with her time and spirit.” 

Jean’s family requested that donations be made in her memory to The Regis 

Fund. Because of their generosity, more than $21,500 has been donated in 

her honor. 

Jean was the loving wife of William F. McCall Jr., of Winchester, beloved 

daughter of the late Warren and Anna (Galvin) Ryan, cherished mother of 

David and his wife Roberta of Burlington, Linda Parkins and her husband 

Thomas of Manchester-By-The-Sea, and Karen Fagan and her husband 

Timothy of Winchester, beloved grandmother to Erin Michelle, Matthew 

William, Anna Kathleen, Catherine Jean, Emily Anne, Ryan Pimenta and 

William Marcio, and sister of the late Warren J. Ryan Jr. 

Regina Koch ’48 

Regina m. Koch ’48, PhD, a longtime Regis supporter and friend, passed 

away May 9, 2012. Not only was Regina an alumna and generous donor 

to Regis College, but she was also Academic Dean from 1970-1973, a 

member of the German Department from 1964-1970, and a former Sister 

of St. Joseph. Her family and friends held a celebration of her life in the 

Regis College Chapel in August. 

“It was beautiful to be a part of her memorial,” said Tara M. Brady, 

Director of Development at Regis. “Regina gave so much to so many 

people and places, including Regis. She will sorely be missed by many.” 

Regina graduated from Regis College and received her master’s from 

Boston College and her doctorate from Harvard University. She dedicated 

more than 25 years of her life to the Sisters of St. Joseph and 

as a faculty member at Regis. She also served on the faculties of the 

University of Maine and Purdue University before starting a second 

career with Ameriprise. Regina loved her dogs, enjoyed traveling, was 

an avid reader, collector and made a difference in this world through 

her philanthropy, giving annually to more than 400 charities. She will be 

missed by her sister Elizabeth and brother-in-law, Philip Bryan, nieces, 

including fellow Regis alumnae Patricia Koch, O.D. ’75, Donna Bryan 

Barinelli ’83, and Katherine Fredette ’80, grand-nieces and grandnephews, 

extended family and friends in the United States and Germany. 

Her final resting place is with her parents, Joseph and Eva Koch in the 

Gardens of Gethsemane Cemetery, West Roxbury, Mass.

✒ Mary Kerr Lynch, 275 Mirick Road, 

Princeton, MA 01541, 978-464-5611 

Greetings to our classmates from 72 

years ago. Happy days with wonderful 

memories! I attended the annual 

Golden Tower Luncheon at the Fine 

Arts Center on May 21. Lunch was 

served to alumni and friends present. 

At our table sat Mary Hurley 

Good ’42 and her daughter, Lily Pereg 

Achein ’44, Doris Lynch ’45, Philomene 

Winchester Murphy ’45 (sister of late 

classmate Eileen Winchester Young), 

Annette Pendergast ’45, and my 

daughter Mary Lynch Cadwallader. 

President Antoinette M. Hays, PhD, 

RN, commented with pride that Regis 

upholds its educational excellence and 

religious principles set by the Sisters 

of Saint Joseph. Mary McDevitt 

Hadley’s daughter Pat reports that 

Mary’s beloved husband Linus passed 

away on Feb. 5, 2012. Mary moved 

and is a resident at Harbor House in 

Osterville, MA. She misses Linus but 

is acclimating to her surroundings 

and has many visitors. The Hadley 

family—consisting of 1 daughter, 

4 sons, many grandchildren, and 

great grandchildren—all reside 

in Massachusetts Mary Hastings 

Kilcoyne resides in the family home 

with son Timothy. Daughter Julie, and 

sons John and Charles reside with 

their families in Clinton, MA. Mary 

sees her children and grandchildren 

frequently. Marie Dillon Marcellino 

enjoys her summer home on Cape 

Cod, and returns during winter to her 

condo in Lexington. Marie’s 4 children 

all reside in Massachusetts. Her 6 

stepchildren, the children of her late 

husband Bill Marcellino, reside across 

the US. Marie keeps busy with her 

family and extended family. Daughter 

Kathy, whose husband Felix passed 

away, assists her mother. Marie’s energetic 

spirit prevails. Geraldine Burke 

Morrill resides in Plantation Village 

in Wilmington, NC. Diagnosed with a 

clogged heart condition, she refused to 

undergo surgery. Her physician suggested 

a new heart procedure without 

surgery at U of NC hospital. She 

successfully underwent the procedure 

and returned home within 10 days. 

Gerrie’s 6 married children are attentive 

to their mother. Janet Ahern 

Rink resides at the medical facility 

at Mather Place of Wilmette, IL, an 

assisted living complex. Her caretaker 

Kristen reports Janet does not 

answer the phone. Holly Rink Troeger 

(Janet’s daughter) and family are in 

constant contact with Janet and visit 

frequently. Rita McNeil Schissel’s 

son Dr. Stephen, daughter Jeanne, 

and husband Dr. Charles, report an 

arthritic condition that limits Rita’s 

activities with her 9 children. She is, 

however, in constant touch with them. 

She is blessed with her wonderful 

family. Barbara Norton Schlitzer’s 

daughter Jean reports Barbara was 

hospitalized for over a month with 

pneumonia. On Aug. 6, she returned 

home with continued nursing care. 

With son Victor and family in attendance, 

Barbara will recover. Barbara’s 

granddaughter Jane graduated 

from Stanford Medical University, 

is assigned to Children’s Hospital in 

Boston, and sees Barbara often. 

Mary Sampson Schmidt lives in San 

Jose, CA, where her 5 children grew 

up. Her husband passed away years 

ago. Mary was a Brookline resident, 

where she attended St. Aidan’s High 

School. She did not meet Mary Lynch 

of Brookline’s St. Mary’s High School, 

however, until arrival at Regis in 

1936. Mary was married at St. Aidan’s 

with Regis classmates as bridesmaids: 

Ruth Monihan Savage, Ruth Ferraro 

Tobin, and Marion Quinn Clancy. 

Mary’s interest in Regis continues. 

Due to a home accident, Marie Scanlon 

Flaherty was hospitalized at Harbor 

House in Hingham, MA, for several 

months. She returned recently to her 

Scituate home, where her dedicated 

husband Matt was happy. Marie’s 

grandnephew and niece are attentive 

to Marie and Matt. Their grandmother 

Joey Scanlan Carlson ’45 is Marie’s 

sister Yvonne Normandeau Oswald’s 

husband Norbert is a West Point 

graduate. The happy twosome enjoy 

residing in their military retirement 

residence in Melbourne, FL. Yvonne’s 

past medical health problems have 

improved. Martha Mitten Hosinski 

has resided in South Bend, IN, since 

her marriage to the late lawyer, Judge 

Bill Hosinki. Martha is a WWII Navy 

Wave Veteran. Her 5 children grew 

up in South Bend and 2 sons still live 

there. Daughters Anne and Claire 

live in Washington State. Martha is 

still her vibrant self. A description in 

the Regis yearbook ’40 reads “a flash 

of red hair and peel of laughter.” I 

(Mary Kerr Lynch) enjoy my country 

in-law apartment in Princeton, MA, 

in the home of my daughter Mary 

and her husband John Cadwallader. 

I play bridge, read, and follow the 

Presidential election. I chat often 

with my children and grandchildren 

in Boston, daughters Kathy Lynch 

O’Donoghue ’67 and Maureen in 

Florida, and grandchildren and 9 great 

grandchildren in Washington and 

Colorado. I celebrated my 95th birthday 

with my children at Legal Seafood 

in Boston, and received many flowers 

and cards from my large, extended 

family. I wish my classmates happiness, 

health, and smiles. Bless one and 

all, and Regis “High on the Hilltop.” 

1942 

✒ Mary Hurley Good, 228 Woburn 

Street, Reading, MA 01867, 781-944- 

2683, marygood11@live.com This 

year’s reunion united many happy 

graduate classes. I was proud to represent 

Class of ’42 at our 70th Reunion. I 

am sorry to say only 2 of us attended. 

Classmate Alice and I were asked to 

lead the parade; it was an honor. The 

parade began with a 3-piece band, 

playing beautiful music and crossing 

over the exquisite campus. Alice and 

I held our Regis signs proudly as we 

listened to the beautiful music. I said 

to Alice, “Let’s dance,” so we did. The 

parading classes laughed and clapped. 

The campus looked beautiful; we both 

enjoyed the special event. I’d like to 

share a story that is pertinent to this 

point in time. In my role as Alumnae 

President in 1956, I appeared at many 

Regis gatherings and meetings. The 

one that afforded me the greatest 

pleasure was the 1956 Ring Ceremony. 

The event welcomed students into 

the membership of the Regis College 

Alumnae Association. It was traditional 

for members of the junior class, 

upon receiving their rings, to become 

associate members of the Alumnae 

Association. It was my joy extending 

the welcoming hand of the Alumnae 

Association. In attendance that 

day in 1956 were Sr. Alice and Fr. 

Harrington, members of the faculty 

Class of 1956. I extended warmest 

welcome and our prayerful best wishes 

for the future. The Class of 1956 

was fortunate to receive their rings 

on February 12, 1956. It was 56 years 

ago. On that day, the Commonwealth 

of MA granted Regis its charter. In a 

sense, we were celebrating the birthday 

of Regis College, by welcoming

the Golden Tower Luncheon on May 

18th at Regis. It was great to see the 

sports field house, courts, and additional 

parking areas on the campus. 

On Aug. 9, with 160 other alumni, 

I attended the Cape Cod Luncheon 

at the Willowbend Country Club in 

Mashpee, MA. It was delightful. Our 

new President Antoinette M. Hays, 

PhD, RN, shared her vision for the 

future of Regis College. Also Dr. Hays 

introduced two new deans at Regis: 

Penelope Glynn, PhD, ANP, Dean of 

the School of Nursing, Science and 

Health Professions, and Malcolm 

Asadoorian, PhD, Dean of the School 

of Liberal Arts, Education and Social 

Sciences. Both spoke on their new 

assignments, which was interesting 

and added much to the luncheon. In 

August, Mary Foley Dowd returned 

from a 3-week trip visiting her son 

Chris in California and her daughter 

Martha in Chicago. This is an summer 

annual visit. Mary lives in Needham. 

All is well with Clare Dunn Hern 

and her family. She has many grandchildren 

and 5 great grandchildren. 

Doris and Philomene spent the 

afternoon visiting Elizabeth “Betty” 

McNally Finigan at the Charwell 

House in Norwood, MA. Betty was a 

great hostess and they had a fun time 

together. If you have any news call 

or write a note to me. Stay happy 

and healthy.

Wingate Road, Lexington, MA 02421, 

781-862-6262 We send our condolences 

to Dorothy “Dottie” Gibbons 

Sullivan on the passing of her husband 

John. It also saddens me to report that 

earlier this spring we lost another 

friend, Patricia Baatz Murphy of York, 

ME. S. Dorothy represented them 

well at her service. It was a glorious 

80-degree day for our 65th Reunion. 

Attending weekend festivities were 

classmates Gertrude Breen Alfredson, 

Alice Dunbar O’Halloran, Jeanne 

MacDonough Cronin, S. Dorothy 

McKenzie CSJ, Rita Dailey Fahey, Ruth 

Barry McCoy, Catherine “Kay” Gately 

McGunigle, Patricia Curtin Mahoney, 

and Phyllis Gallinelli Campbell. Just 

before the parade of classes, a special 

side trip was organized and a fleet 

of golf carts transported the Class of 

1947 delegation to a new rock garden 

remembering Mary Jane Connor 

St. Germain. This peaceful place for 

reflection was made possible through 

a generous gift of the St. Germain 

family. Visit next time you are on 

campus. It is behind the library, close 

to the Tower. For Kay McGunigle 

it was a weekend of college graduations. 

Kay was visiting from Long 

Island to attend reunion and her 

grandchildren’s college graduations 

at Providence College and Boston U. 

Class of ’47 continued our tradition 

of a high percent of class giving to the 

Annual Fund (now called “The Regis 

Fund”). This year, ’47 is second highest 

of all classes! At our class meeting, 

we elected Alice O’Halloran Class 

President for the next 5 years; Jeanne 

Cronin remains Treasurer; Phyllis 

Campbell and Gert Alfredson continue 

as Fund Agents; and I am pleased to 

remain Class Reporter. In the “better 

living through technology” department, 

several of our classmates have 

improved their gaits: Rita with a new 

hip; Dorothy Mahoney McKenna with 

an improved hip; Jeanne with a new 

knee; and I am walking again after 

3 months of rehab for a badly fractured 

pelvis. Patricia “Peg” Donovan 

Morton reports crystal clear vision 

after cataract surgery. In the “long 

time no see” category, several of our 

Cape Cod classmates got together for 

a mini reunion in July with Virginia 

“Ginnie” Demeo Prieto, who was visiting 

from California. Peg Morton, 

Dot, my daughter Elaine Richardson 

’76, and I reconnected with Ginnie 

after many years. Our conversation 

started with life after Regis, continued 

through the years of raising our families, 

and migrated to a lively conversation 

about Nuns on the Bus. It was 

wonderful. We always look forward 

to hearing news about Regis and our 

classmates from our “Ladies Who 

Lunch,” the monthly get-together of S. 

Dorothy, Gert, Alice, and Jeanne. Be 

sure to send me your news for the next 

time. In the meantime, keep happy 

and healthy!

Sadness always follows the arrival of 

those small cream-colored envelopes 

from Regis. This winter we received 

the news of four deaths: M. Patricia 

McGillicuddy Bowen, Mary Donelan 

Geraghty, Sarah Barry Callahan, and 

Regina M. Koch. We mourn their passing. 

Our next report reads like an 

emergency room file. Jean McDonald 

Snyder helped a friend with heavy 

lifting; shortly thereafter she was in 

frightful pain and could not walk. 

Jean was relieved when the MRI 

showed the stress had just triggered 

her arthritis. The back pain will go 

way with PT and the arthritis, well, 

that will return to its previous state 

but at least it will be no worse. Jean 

is improving in both body and spirit. 

Following a slip, Jane McGrath’s 

left arm is in a sling. Other than the 

restriction on her drivin which she is 

fighting tooth and nail—she is going 

about business as usual. She commandeered 

nieces and nephews to 

move her household goods to New 

Hampshire for her annual month 

in Rye Beach. Nothing keeps Jane 

down. Joan Doherty Mahoney had 

a severely injured rotator cuff, which 

doctors said would not be helped by 

surgery. Somehow Joan connected 

with a French doctor who had perfected 

a surgery and replaced the 

whole rotator cuff. Joan is without 

pain and went to the theater within 

3 weeks Our wonderful roving 

reporter, Ann O’Hare Smith, was 

unwittingly playing hostess to some 

“guests” who moved in last fall and 

wreaked havoc in her attic. When Ann 

came up to the Goose Rocks in the 

spring she discovered a raccoon family 

residing in her upper level. It took 

Ann until end of July to remove the 

inhabitants and clean up the mess. 

Sr. Regina Harrington, CSJ, sent along 

a copy of CONNECTING, the magazine 

of the Sisters of St. Joseph of 

Boston. In it is a wonderful review 

of the ministries she embraced as a 

nun. Sr. Regina does not see herself 

as “retired,” but simply changing ministries. 

Our class was blessed to have 

gentle and caring women to inspire 

us. I have my own tale of woe. 

Driving en route to Florida this year, 

a large piece of equipment bounced 

out of the car in front of us and shattered 

the windshield. We stayed in 

an Econolodge for 3 days, feeling very

class notes 

sorry for ourselves. Then it occurred 

to us that we had had a narrow escape 

from death and we were thankful 

we had survived a potential tragedy. 

Another plus was that John started to 

tell everyone what a super driver his 

wife is. 

1949 

✒ Betty Ann Hynes Elliott, 38 Oxford 

Road, Wellesley, MA 02481, 781-235- 

4697, baelliott2@verizon.net The 

Golden Tower Luncheon in May 

brought out many ’49ers as usual. One 

highlight of the day was receiving a 

copy of Katherine “Kaye” Barron Cox’s 

latest achievement: getting published 

in her local Belmont newspaper. The 

article, titled “Giving thanks for the 

time I had with my mother,” covers 

the trip Kaye and her mother took to 

Bermuda for her mother’s 95th birthday. 

Kaye’s mother was the life of the 

party; many hotel guests fell under her 

spell. Lovely story, Kaye, thanks for 

sharing it. Kaye has become a student 

again and is taking a class in memoir 

writing at the Lifelong Learning 

Program at Regis College. Sadly we 

lost two classmates recently: Pauline 

McCarthy in May and Ann McGrath 

Cullinan in July. Pauline had an 

interesting background. She attended 

Regis for 1 year, then left to serve in 

the Navy during WWII. After 5 years 

in the Navy, she returned to Regis in 

1946 to join our class and graduate 

with us. Kaye, Mary Breslin, Catherine 

“Cay” Foley Hines, and Rosemary 

McAuliffe attended her funeral in 

Belmont while Nancy Natoli Fay and 

Marion Comerford Cowie were at the 

National Veteran’s Cemetery on the 

Cape for her burial. Ann Cullinan 

passed away July 31 after a courageous 

battle with cancer. Ann and I 

became friends freshman year and 

remained close. I will miss her terribly. 

Once Ann settled in North Conway, 

Nancy Fay and I (with Jims Murphy 

originally) spent a few days with her 

every fall: enjoying the mountain 

views, shopping the outlets, and enjoying 

each other. Joe and I drove up for 

Ann’s wake and funeral at Our Lady 

of the Mountains’s beautiful church 

in North Conway. Ann was buried 

with Arthur in the North Conway 

Cemetery, looking out on the mountains 

she loved. She is survived by her 

5 children and 10 grandchildren. 

Mary Breslin gathered a group of ’49ers 

for lunch at her summer home in Hull 

again this August. She’s most gracious 

and hospitable; everyone there enjoys 

this get-together so much. All in attendance 

are doing well and enjoying life, 

for which we were very thankful.

REGIS TODAY 

thanks to Ann Purcell MacDonald and 

Catherine “Cay” Deveney Kaladin 

for their years of faithfully reporting 

news. Our 60th reunion was a 

delight. The campus looked beautiful 

and the weather was perfect. Those 

attending were Sally Finnerty Tully, 

Mary Elizabeth “Zay” Dunphy Hyde, 

Marie Rizzo, Dorothy Holley Connors, 

Marie Fleming Sisk, Pat Wentworth 

Delorey, Pat Arroll Gradone, Lois 

Brigham Saltalamacchia, Carlotta

O’ Rourke, Mary Gallagher Watts, Ann 

Geisel, Pat Hogan, and Joan Hartley 

Meagher. Mary Foley Noon had 

planned to attend, but was not feeling 

well that day. Nancy Boland Johnson 

was unable to make it due to a minor 

accident she had the day before. She 

was not injured, fortunately, and is 

doing fine now. Many who would have 

otherwise attended were busy with 

weddings and graduations of grandchildren. 

Perhaps the highlight of the 

event was the address by our new 


RN. Pat and I met Dr. Hays and her 

husband as we roamed the corridors of 

College Hall. It was a privilege to have 

a 1-on-1 conversation with her. She 

has wonderful ideas for Regis—look 

for great things to come! On a sad 

note, Kara Kosmos sent word that her 

mother, Mary Azzarito Kosmos, passed 

away in January. Our condolences 

to Kara and her family. Marjorie 

MacKenzie Williams expressed her 

regret at having missed the reunion. 

She is remarried to J. Carl Pellicane 

and lives on the same street as her 

brother near Richmond, VA. Her successful 

children are scattered: Boulder, 

Minneapolis, LA, and Hamden. Her 

daughter in LA writes scripts for 

children’s cartoons and has received 

two Oscars for her writing. Marjorie’s 

new address is: 8303 Buckeye Drive, 

Henrico, VA 23228. Pat McNerney 

Kelleher and her husband Jim visited 

with Sally Tully at the Cape this summer. 

They explored the area, including 

sighting whales in Provincetown. Pat 

teaches an online course for the U of 

Dayton, training religious education 

teachers. Sally, Cay Kaladin, and 

Catherine “Kate” Molloy Rowe, who 

had been on a cruise at the time of 

our reunion, all met up at the summer 

Cape Cod Luncheon. Pat Arroll 

Gradone enjoyed her trip with her 

daughter to Poland where they stayed 

with a friend. They visited Pope John 

Paul’s home, concentration camps, 

and the salt mines. Marie Rizzo 

vacationed at Chatham and at Stowe, 

VT, with family. Pat Hogan enjoyed 

her beach house at Hampton Beach. 

October marks the 20th anniversary 

of Richard’s and my retirement 

and move to California. Although 

we miss our family and friends in 

New England, we do not miss the 

winters. Life is good here: We have 

2 children in CA, and our son has 

16-year-old twin daughters, who live 

close to us. Our oldest is a Professor 

at U of Scranton. I keep busy going to 

Aqua-aerobics and I am active in the 

Renaissance Society, which is a learning-in-retirement 

organization located 

at Sacramento State U. We also participate 

in church activities and play 

bridge. We travelled to Argentina and 

Chile last winter and we enjoy annual 

trips to Hawaii. This January we 

hope to visit our daughter Sharon in 

Mexico, where she will spend part of 

her sabbatical year.

Kay and John attended the Kennedy- 

Manny Wedding in Hyannis Port on 

July 7, 2012. Kay loves to reminisce 

about our daily campus walks after 

class while at Regis. Last summer, 

I enjoyed a marvelous conversation 

with Frances Florencourt from 

her home in Arlington, MA. Frances 

works untiringly for the Flannery 

O’Connor Foundation. Her picture 

and remarks concerning her famous 

cousin appear in At Home With 

Flannery O’Connor, a book published 

by a grant from the Watson-Brown 

Foundation. For good reading Frances 

recommended The Complete Stories 

of Flannery O’Connor, especially 

“The River” and “The Revelation.” 

Frances is a Eucharistic Minister at 

St. Eulalia’s Church and at the Gables 

in Winchester. Mary Jane O’Connor 

Lee hails from Grand Blanc, MI, and 

vacationed recently in Arizona. In 

spite of painful arthritis, she enjoys 

dancing, line dancing, and clog almost 

every day. She works out at the health 

club and swims 3 days a week. Mary 

Cahill Byrne lives in Pinehurst, N.C. 

and recently underwent successful 

bladder surgery. Mary lived most of 

her married life in Chicago where 

5 of her 6 children still reside. One 

child lives in Maryland. Two of her 10 

grandchildren recently graduated from 

college and 3 from high school. Mary’s 

husband died 2 years ago. Marcia 

McPherson Keiley and husband Bill, an 

attorney, live in Gloucester, MA, and 

have 5 children and 13 grandchildren. 

They originally lived in Framingham, 

MA, but vacationed in the Gloucester/ 

Rockport area and decided to retire 

there. Kate Barker of Marshfield, 

MA, served 20 years in the US Navy 

as a personnel manager. In civilian 

life Kate worked in medical technology. 

She enjoys her retirement. Our 

granddaughter, Jessica, spent a week 

last summer in Cusco, Peru, teaching 

English to homeless students. Jessica 

is a senior at George Washington U in 

DC. Our Texas grandchildren spent 

last summer in Rockport and Beverly,

Happy fall. Sadly, we have 

lost 6 of our classmates since last 

summer. Carol Sherman Ryan and 

Mary Sherry Kuppens passed way in 

April; Mary Hefron, Jean Ryan McCall 

and Catherine Dowd Ward all passed 

away in July; and Barbara Thompson 

Granger passed away in August. Our 

prayers and sympathy go out to their

who have lost members of their families. 

Peace. Barbara Kelley Kelley 

had a hip replacement last summer 

and reports she is well. Barbara 

suggested we highlight “it’s a small 

world!” events that have happened 

to us. Pat Thalheimer King was 

delighted to discover halfway through 

a flight home from England that Sr. 

Marie Therese Martin, CSJ was on the 

same plane! Grace Cronin Godefroy 

was in Massachusetts for a family 

wedding this summer and came to 

the Vineyard to spend the day with 

me. Recently, while waiting for a ski 

tow up a mountain in California, she 

turned around and Maureen Donnelly 

Carlson was behind her! I had a

reminders of how close we can be to 

other people. Do you have a favorite 

Send it to me and we’ll publish it! 

Rosalie L’Ecuyer, in Fairbanks, is 

doing OK, but her years are beginning 

to show up. I assured her that we all 

are having the same problems. She 

also admits she still can’t get used to 

men at Regis! Jacqui Cyr Lewis has 

come up with a great idea: Why don’t 

we do some class day trips (with lunch 

of course) We might get together and 

go on a museum tour like the Peabody 

Essex Museum and the Heritage 

Museum in Lawrence. Janet 

Condrey Beyer was at Lake Tahoe in 

July—that’s probably why we have no 

other news from her!

Kelley once again hosted a luncheon 

at Woodland Country Club. Emily 

Melo, the recipient of the Sister John 

Scholarship for the past academic 

year, was greeted by 19 members of 

our class. Mary Keenan highlighted 

Emily’s accomplishments as an excellent 

student (majoring in Spanish and 

education), her musical talents, and 

devotion to her church and to Regis. 

She is a delightful young woman with 

a promising future. We are proud to 

contribute to her education. The 

Sister John Scholarship was established 

at our 50th reunion. You may 

designate your contributions to the 

Annual Fund (now “The Regis Fund”) 

specifically for this scholarship, if you 

desire. We congratulate Carol Bonner 

Connell for her work as Class Fund 

Agent this past year. Our total gift 

to the college was $26,702.01, representing 

donations from 60.2% of our 

class. Good job! Ten of us met at 

Regis on a glorious May afternoon for 

the Golden Tower Luncheon. College 


RN, presented a positive account of 

Regis’ progress: increased enrollment, 

international outreach, and receipt of 

a major grant from the Clinton Bush

Walsh, Bea Pattavina Sloan, Virginia 

Clark Kristo, Ann Marie Healy Sawyer, 

Margie Casey Mulcahy, Carol Bonner

speakers were our dynamic Dr. Hays; 

Penelope Glynn, PhD, ANP Dean 

of the School of Nursing, Science 

and Health Professions; and newly 

appointed Dean of the College’s School 

of Liberal Arts, Education, and Social 

Sciences, Malcolm Asadoorian, PhD. 

Their presentation of the Strategic 

Plan for Regis through 2016 gave the 

audience the impression that Regis 

is definitely “on the move.” Several 

class members had summer travels. 

Mary Rose Campbell visited friends in 

Ireland in July. On an overnight visit 

to Killarney, she shared the town with 

9,000 bicyclists who were preparing for 

a charity bike ride around the Ring of

Our big news for this issue was 

our 55th reunion. Thirty-nine of 

our classmates attended, and two, 

Elly Z. Arotschenzeff Doyle and 

Ruth “Spud” Sanderson Kingsbury, 

attended all activities. Many flew in 

for the occasion: Elly from California; 

Jane Denmark Maher from Florida; 

Mary Lyn Eagan Whittaker from 

North Carolina; and Sheila Cruchley 

Campbell from Ohio. Thanks to Spud 

and her husband Bob, and Virginia 

Pyne Kaneb and her husband Jack, 

for their many generous contributions 

to Regis. Suzy Treacy McGovern 

felt the drive to reunion was too long 

for her. Others had health considerations. 

Elaine Govoni Mclaughlin has 

serious heart problems, which have 

kept her close to home. Fortunately 

she has been a lover of reading since 

childhood; it keeps her busy. After 

reunion, Elly went with her brother 

to Canada where they spent their 

summers during their childhood. 

Mary Lyn recently returned from the 

Holy Land. She made the pilgrimage 

after the death of her husband Robert. 

Her sorrow was softened by the large 

number (600) who paid their respects 

at his funeral at the cathedral. 

Cathy Stanley Buehner and Maureen 

Staunton Crowley have been traveling 

together in the US and Europe. Cathy 

is a great driver, making the trip east 

from Ohio twice this summer. I also 

discovered at the Regis Cape Cod 

Luncheon in Mashpee that Maureen 

is a humorous storyteller. Anne 

Fox Fitzpatrick and Linda Aimone 

Donovan also attended the excellent 

luncheon. Kathy Speer Howrigan 

and her husband travelled to Ireland, 

Florida, and the Cape. Marilyn 

Napierski moved from Brewster to 

Quincy. Suzy and Marie Nadeau

messages. Isabel Long Chesak had a

heavy pressure, I salute our classmates 

who went into religious life. To 

Vicky Alexander who spent decades 

doing medical research in Africa and 

Southeast Asia, at times ducking bullets 

to get medical supplies. She now 

has lupus and lives in India. To Maria 

Lynch who labored among the poor in 

Latin America for decades, sometimes 

during unrest. She is now retired (do 

nuns ever retire) in the Maryknoll 

home base in New York. To Marty Hohl 

who has shared her well-known gift 

of laughter with the thousands for 

whom she has done social work in the 

eastern states. To Carol Fitzsimmons 

for her years counseling and providing 

spiritual direction as a member of the 

Sisters of St Joseph. To Mary Geary for 

leadership of hospitals, which brought 

her many honors, honorary doctorates, 

and a lifetime achievement award. In 

her senior years, she has chosen an 

area of our interest: running a retirement 

facility.

to Pat Kelly McNulty on the death 

of her brother Charles, and to Joan 

Gorman McCue on the passing of 

her husband Frank. Universidad 

Académica Carmen Pampa, the 

school in rural Bolivia founded by 

Ann Maloney Leahy and her husband 

Dick, celebrates its 20th birthday 

this year. Ann’s work was recognized 

at the Cape Cod Luncheon by Dean 

Penelope Glynn, PhD, ANP. There 

is strong potential for a partnership 

between the universidad and the 

Regis School of Nursing, Science and 

Health Professions. Congratulations, 

Ann! Also attending the luncheon 

at the Willowbend Country Club 

were classmates Kay Rosicky Devlin, 

Pat Salmon Hillmer, Mary Reynolds 

Kennedy, Joan Meleski Kenney, Mary 

Jo Kilmain, and Pat McNulty. A congenial 

group gathered for the Golden 

Tower Luncheon at Regis in May. The 

old Pub in the Lower Student Union 

was transformed; food and surroundings 

were exceptional. Paula Buckley 

Buckley, Tish Albiani Carney, Carole 

Vannicola Clark, Lou Berube Williams, 

Kay Devlin, Pat Hillmer, Joan Kenney, 

Mary Jo Kilmain, Ann Smith Tobin, and 

Donna Coffey Young attended. A class 

meeting was held after to discuss our 

55th Reunion next May. Our Class 

President, Lou Williams, will send 

more information in the fall. Both 

luncheons were good sources of class 

news. Tish and husband George 

enjoyed a winter in Florida with golf 

and good friends. Mary Kennedy 

and husband Tom also enjoyed their 

Florida respite, but are happy to be 

back home, close to their sons Patrick, 

a social worker from Wollaston, and 

Michael, owner of a high tech firm in 

Washington DC. This summer Paula 

Buckley entertained her son Mark and 

his family, who live in Germany. They 

love the Marshfield beaches. John 

and Donna welcomed a new grandson 

in July: James Weston Young joins two 

older siblings in West Chester, PA. 

Teacher’s College Press has published 

Joan Kenney’s 3rd Mathematics book,

Sheehan, Laura Allen Rushton, Angela 

Regis Kravchuk, and I attended the 

Regis Cape Cod Luncheon on Aug. 9. 

To our delight and surprise, Elaine 

Sobolewski McMahon was already at 

our table. Elaine had been a resident 

her 1st year at Regis and after that a 

commuter. We were delighted to meet 

her and hear her story. After Regis she 

became a Medical Technologist, beginning 

her career in Lowell. In 1970, 

she moved to Cape Cod for her husband’s 

job and worked at the Cape Cod 

Hospital for 29 years. Her 3 children 

and 4 grandchildren all live on the 

Cape. After her husband’s passing 7 

years ago, Elaine convinced herself to 

join Curves, the Academy of Lifelong 

Learning, and other groups. Now she 

feels that life is good. Angela continues 

on the Board of the Bayberry 

Quilt Guild on Cape Cod. Thankfully 

she is no longer in charge of the large 

quilt show put on by Bayberry every 

year. This year, however, she is in 

charge of Programs for the Guild, a 

challenging task at times. Officially 

retired, Lucy now volunteers 1 day a 

week at the school where her daughter 

teaches. She will spend a week in El 

Salvador, working with children at an 

eye clinic. This is her 3rd time volunteering 

there. Laura is busy making 

a tee shirt quilt with memories of her 

travels. She enjoys working on fabric 

selection and color blending. She and 

husband Bob enjoy life in Rockport, 

MA. From Willy’s Gym in Eastham, 

Mary Jane was part of a team of 8 

who went to the USTA Super Seniors 

Tennis Finals in Phoenix. Despite 

temperatures of 110 degrees and play 

postponement, Mary Jane and her 

team came in 3rd! She then visited 

children in California.

Spring Break road trips from Regis 

to Florida. In those days, we drove 

day and night, slept in the car, ate 

junk food, and partied on the beach 

for hours. Well, Barbara Hoyle Healy, 

Ellen Kelleher Guillette, and Judith 

Powers recreated the trip this March, 

visiting family and friends along the 

East Coast and joining Regis’s St. 

Patrick’s Day celebration on Naples. 

All agreed that the trip was fun, but 

they plan to fly to Florida from now 

on. Since the trip was so successful, 

Mary Doane Cassidy, Joan Murray, 

Judith Powers, and Barbara Hoyle 

Healy flew to England in September 

to visit and tour London, Dorset, 

and Sussex. Many classmates are 

dealing with health problems, either 

their own issues or those of spouses 

and other family members. Agnes 

O’Hara Barrett, who spent several 

months recovering from a serious fall, 

is almost as good as new. She found 

that yoga is the perfect exercise for 

her and enjoys twice-a-week classes. 

In Swampscott, Mary Doane Cassidy 

teaches yoga at the Senior Center 

and also gives private sessions. 

Carroll Beegan Follas and John had a 

delightful evening with Lolita deLeon 

McKenna and Stephen at the Isles 

Club in Punta Gorda this past winter. 

She notes that many Regis alums are 

making Florida a destination during 

the winter months. Among them will 

be Joan Murray, who just purchased 

a condo for use should she ever 

retire from teaching at Regis. Four 

members of our class attended the 

Cape Cod Alumni (I still want to type 

alumnae!) Luncheon at Willowbend 

in Mashpee in August. Diane Doherty 

Anastasia, Agnes O’Hara Barrett, 

Virginia Bishop Carroll, and Carroll 

Follas commented that 3 of the 4 were 

sociology majors and obviously learned 

to be social from Mr. Overcliff. Diane 

golfs at Woods Hole, often with Nancy 

Fay ’49. Diane’s husband Lou also 

golfs and fishes. Since Diane belongs 

to a Falmouth gourmet group, she 

appreciates what he brings home from 

the sea.

the class raised $108,936.75 for Regis 

during our 50th Reunion Celebration 

Year! Many classmates contributed to 

this success: Our participation rate 

was 66.13%. Congratulations! Thanks 

to all who were able to contribute 

to Regis. A reunion highlight was 

our own Mass celebrating our 50 

years and remembering our beloved 

deceased classmates. Pat Crosby 

Pemberton’s daughter and granddaughter 

brought up the rose for Pat. 

The next poignant moment was the 

distribution of the “Tower Pins” by 


RN at the end of Mass. Maureen 

Connelly made the banner for the 

Parade of Classes, modeled after the 

original that hung in Boston Garden 

in 1960 proclaiming, “Yes, We Did Put 

a New John in the White House!” It 

got many laughs! At the Saturday 

dinner, Dr. Hays announced over the 

mike that the Class of ’62 should get 

up on the dance floor and dance! We 

did the Twist! As you can imagine, it 

was quite a sight. On Sunday morning 

at brunch, several younger alums 

came up to me and asked if our class 

met often during the years because 

they said, “You seem so close, and so 

young!” Hooray for us! Mary Higgins 

requests we keep our pill box hats and 

wear them again for our 55th in 2017!

all over the country and the world. 

Luckily, both of my children live 

nearby. I just finished our summer 

“Beach School,” which I have for my 

granddaughters, Ava (10) and Anya 

(8). Our informal curriculum consists 

of beachcombing, baking, arts and 

crafts, computer activities, dressing 

up, and having fun. I am “retired,” 

taking 4 courses in a Learning for 

Life Program, and working on my 

“bucket list.” If I find another interesting 

business adventure, I would 

do that. Nancy Collins Edwards

a summer home. Their daughter, 

Nancy, sold her house quickly; Nancy 

and her family are living with them

her husband Bernie spent last winter 

in southwest Florida. While there, 

she rode the Regis float in the Naples 

St. Patrick’s Day parade. She and 

Sharon Gibbons Reardon attended a 

President’s reception in Naples where 

Regis’s new President Antoinette M. 

Hays, PhD, RN, gave an enthusiastic

in Falmouth last August for potluck 

and conversation. Travel, grandkids, 

and retirement were popular topics. 

Libby Chamberlain Houlihan, now 

living in Middletown, RI, brought a 

discussion topic to the get-together 

“What’s saving your life right now” A 

member of the Leadership Conference 

of Women Religious, Nancy Corcoran 

discussed what religious orders are 

going through with the Vatican, saying 

in her usual feisty manner, “I am 65 

years old, and I will not be complicit 

in my own oppression!” Susan Doyle 

Callahan retired from the library reference 

desk in Fairfield, CT. She visited 

Ireland in July and France in October. 

Susan Airoldi Kalloch travelled to 

Easter Island in May. Lida McMahon 

Harkins greeted her 11th grandchild 

in July (now 8 girls and 3 boys). In 

Sicily last year, she was impressed by 

the strong ancient Greek influence. 

Lida works for the Massachusetts 

Secretary of State’s office. Pat Boyle 

Buckley and husband Jerry are still 

working, Pat in real estate. Their 6th 

grandchild was born in July. They 

spend time in Naples, FL, though 

too infrequently for Pat’s taste.

Greene Barry and Anne Bernson (an 

avid bridge player) in Hawaii last 

winter. Nancy works part time at

Connie Alexander Giorgio, husband 

Peter, and the Ostersons traveled to 

Yellowstone National Park, Alberta, 

British Columbia, and Portland, OR, 

where Connie’s son Matt lives. Connie 

said that, like all Cape Codders, 

she had visitors from June through 

August. Annie Bernson and Mary

and reported that Mary is as ebullient 

as ever. Retired from a banking 

career, Mary lives in Berkley, CA, and 

Phoenix, AZ, where husband Michael

Lee and Nancy Mytkowicz Sullivan 

spent two weeks touring Poland; 

Nancy said now she understands her 

heritage. Young people there speak 

English, Poles love Americans, and the 

country is being westernized rapidly, 

Nancy observed. Mary Lou Collins 

wrote, “Italy last April, Barcelona 

and Malta in August.” Although 

retired, she’s a consultant for MITRE. 

Eleanor Merrigan Olsen lives in 

Virginia and works as a director of a 

senior retirement facility. She is married 

to George (42 years) and has 4 

grandchildren, with another coming 

soon. Kathy Frost Burke recently 

cruised the English Channel with 

her siblings and respective spouses, 

then visited daughter Deb in London. 

Elaine Falcione Wallace volunteerteaches

teaches Physics, and she stayed with 

Paula Beauregard. Paula sold her 

home in Sutton, and she and Jim 

are building a new one in Millbury. 

They enjoy time in Harwichport with 

daughter Danielle and grandchildren 

Adrienne and William. Paula retired 

as Chairperson of the Department 

of Foreign Languages in Grafton, 

and works January to April with Jim 

during tax season. She keeps in touch 

with the sons of our late classmate 

Mary Holland Norris. Ellens Kearns 

and Patti Morley are past members 

of the Regis Board of Trustees and 

Ellen O’Connor is a current member. 

Both Patti and Fran Hogan served as 

Presidents of the Alumni Association. 

Mary Jane Doherty transitioned 

as Special Assistant with former 

President Mary Jane England’59, 

MD, to that of President Antoinette 

M. Hays, PhD, RN. We are well represented 

at Regis! Combinations 

of full-time work, retirements, new 

ventures, part-time careers, and volunteer 

work were mentioned, along 

with caring for the generations before 

and after us. Patsy Deveaux shares 

that breast cancer survival will soon 

be 5 years of clear scans. She works 

4 days and loves life. All grandkids 

are well. She can’t believe 1 will be 

a high school senior since she feels 

so young! Check with Patti Morley 

if you want to know how to sell your 

home in one day. She and Don prepared 

extensively, and did just that 

with their Belmont home. They are 

now in Waltham and Maine. Master 

gardener Frances Waht Lewis has 

beautifully designed the grounds of 

her homes in Essex Junction, VT, 

and Eastham. She and Scott are in 

the process of selling their Vermont 

home. It was a full house this summer: 

daughter Amanda and her family 

visited from Brittany, France; son 

Jonathan with his family; and son 

Nathaniel. It brought all 4 grandchildren 

together. Frances cared for her 

mother who died peacefully at age 100 

the day after spending Thanksgiving 

with her family. Peggy Gigante and 

Mike welcomed their first grandchild, 

Oscar Michael James Campbell, and 

report that he is adorable. They wish 

that they lived closer to see him more 

often. Rosemarie Dittmer and Myron 

enjoy grandson Joshua. Rosemarie 

retired as College Dean, and is now 

Director of Faith Formation at her 

parish church. She sees Fran Hogan, 

who travels annually to meet with the 

Pope in Rome as a long-time member 

of the Pontifical Academy for Life. 

Susan Lang Abbott is Director of the 

Office of Religious Education for the 

Archdiocese of Boston. She travels 

to California to visit son John and 2 

grandchildren; closer to home she sees 

6 grandchildren by her 3 daughters. 

Mary McLaughlin attended her nephew’s 

wedding in California. Former 

roommates Mary McLaughlin, Rachel 

Gustina Shea, and Mary Elinor Untiet 

Dagle celebrated the retirements of 

Mary McLaughlin and Rachel. Each 

spent 43 years in Catholic education, 

Mary McLaughlin most recently at 

the Jackson School in Newton, and 

Rachel at Arlington Catholic. Rachel’s 

daughter Nora is now 28. Mary Dagle 

is working for the Essex Police, and 

enjoys her 3 daughters and 4 grandchildren. 

While listening to WBZ 

radio news around July 4, I heard 

the familiar voice of Mimi Bowler, 

US District Court Magistrate Judge, 

swearing in new citizens. During a 

visit to New York’s Museum of Modern 

Art, I came across a book of photography 

by Joyce Tenneson. Paula, 

Marlene, and I were at the Cape 

Cod Luncheon, and met Dr. Hays; 

Penelope Glynn, PhD, ANP, Dean of 

Regis College’s School of Nursing, 

Science, and Health Professions; and 

Malcolm Asadoorian, PhD, Dean of 

Regis College’s School of Liberal Arts, 

Education and Social Sciences. Regis 

appreciates and encourages our generous 

support as it ventures into new 

programs. Additionally, remember our 

faculty like Sr. Jeanne d’Arc O’Hare, 

our Government Teacher and later 

President. Her sister and niece were 

at the luncheon and report that Sr. is 

doing well at Bethany in Framingham. 

S. Cecilia Agnes Mulrennan, our 

Biology Teacher, visits her often from 

a nearby building. Thanks to Ellen 

Kearns and her reunion committee 

of Mim Flecca, Peggy Gigante, and 

Charlene Niles. Ellen and Mim are 

our new Class Presidents, and welcome 

your suggestions as we plan 

our 50th. Thanks to Charlene who 

prepared our booklet, and Pat Driscoll 

Egan, our prior scribe. I welcome your 

contributions so that I may continue 

to bring you our news.

Greetings, classmates. Sincere 

condolences to our class president 

Nancy Brine Fredrickson who lost 

her dear husband Gary suddenly in 

July. I attended the Regis Cape Cod 

Luncheon in August. Our charismatic 

new President Antoinette M. Hays, 

PhD, RN, and deans shared exciting 

plans on Regis’s future. It was great 

to catch up with Mary Beth Govoni 

Cormier who enjoys art classes and 

retirement. We admired pictures of 

her daughter Stephanie’s beautiful 

wedding, and of her son James who 

will be married next year. Mary Jane 

Maciewicz Fernino impresses classmates 

with her recent article and blog. 

She lives in North Falmouth and has 

2 sweet grandchildren Lauren, 5, and 

Michael, 2. Marcia Carey Walsh, our 

class fund agent, enjoys spending time 

in Naples, FL, after retiring from a 

career in accounting. She has 4 children 

and 2 grandchildren. She likes 

oil painting, knitting and her book 

club. Mimi McDonald Concannon

REGIS TODAY 

spent her birthday with us at the 

luncheon and took the centerpiece 

home! Mimi retired from teaching 

and spends the summer in Cotuit, 

MA. Husband Bill commutes from 

Newton. Her lovely daughter, also 

a Regis alum, came to the luncheon 

with Mimi; she visits Mimi during 

the summer with her 2 boys. Mimi 

and Bill have 3 girls and 6 grandchildren 

(1 girl and 5 boys). Judy 

Murphy Lauch makes our class proud 

as a Board of Trustee member and 

supporter of the new president. She 

is proud of all that Regis has accomplished 

especially in the last decade. 

The Regis Cape Cod Luncheon also 

served as the first Committee Meeting 

for the 45th Reunion. Watch for more 

information to come and save the 

date: Reunion Weekend, May 17-19, 

2013. How can that be possible Jo 

Sullivan, who retired in June 2011 

from the Randolph, MA, public schools 

says it was “a great privilege” being 

with teachers and students every day. 

Jo served 2 years as the Assistant 

Principal for Teaching and Learning 

at Randolph High School. Irene 

Shea McGee retires after 42.6 years of 

teaching. She said she didn’t want to 

hear students say, “My great grandmother 

told me about YOU!” Irene 

moved to The Villages in Florida, 

an over-55 retirement community of 

80,000. She will be taking iPad and 

Mac classes, and, as soon as her knee 

allows, line-dance, clown, and batontwirling 

classes. If she takes up golf, 

she’ll wear a bike helmet. Marion 

Marascio Vorheiss has recovered from 

2 broken femurs and hopes to come to 

Boston to see everyone at the October 

Breast Cancer Walk. She recently 

retired from South Burlington High 

School after a stellar career as Biology 

Teacher and Science Department 

Chair. Her achievements include 

Science Teacher of the Year of VT and 

educational foreign travel, culminating 

in her election as commencement 

speaker at graduation. Marion had 

a “great send off and feels blessed.” 

Congrats, Marion. Granddaughter 

Addison is adorable and they just 

got back from Bethany Beach, DE. 

Joanne McKeough Eldred saw the 

picture of the ’68 ladies at the Cape 

Cod Luncheon and was delighted that 

our class was represented. She met 

Dr. Hays as they have a mutual friend 

and agrees she is quite impressive. 

Last October, Joanne and her husband 

bought a home in Asheville, NC, and 

now divide time between Savannah 

and Asheville. They will travel to 

Massachusetts to visit daughter 

Elizabeth, her husband, and 5-monthold 

grandson, Tim. Her other daughter 

Susie will graduate and receive her 

Doctorate from St. Andrew’s, Scotland, 

in spring 2013. She hopes to attend 

the next Regis reunion and connect 

with old friends. Tish Brush Peske, 

her husband, and son Tim recently 

vacationed in Skagen, the northernmost 

part of Denmark. Always interesting 

geography from Tish! The year 

has been full for her, work-wise. Her 

coaching business is thriving and she 

has taken on the leadership training 

for Hofmann La Roche in Basel. 

Son Martin finished his PhD in the 

spring and teaches Sociology at the 

U of Lucerne, Switzerland. Tish will 

be in the US in September, which will 

give her the opportunity to see a few 

“Regisites and hopefully lure a few to 

Frankfurt.” She plans to attend our 

45th reunion next spring! As for 

me, after my retirement, I cared for 

my father, who died last fall. He was 

a great husband, father, dedicated 

teacher, administrator, kind friend, 

and neighbor. We miss him. Colin 

still works on jet engines at GE. Peter 

is a bartender in Boston; he and his 

girlfriend Jade were engaged this 

spring. Last fall, I traveled to DC to 

participate in the Friends of Liberia 

activities for the 50th anniversary of 

the Peace Corps. It is hard to believe 

that it was 44 years ago that we first 

went to Liberia. The Liberia events 

in DC were moving, and fun—lots of 

grey hair and tie-dye! I finally feel 

retired. I relish seeing friends (and on 

weekdays!), visiting museums, reading 

lots and lots, being in my own home in 

the daylight, and sleeping past 5 am. I 

was never a morning person.

comcast.net I hope the summer 

months offered family fun and restful 

getaways. I spent the summer at 

our house on midcoast Maine, with 

husband Peter, family, and friends. 

We ate lobster, played tennis, boated, 

and chilled out. Regis roomie Patty 

Hanifey visited. She sold her home in 

Marblehead this August, and loves her 

new status as roving Irish traveler, 

staying with various friends while she 

decides where to next lay her head. 

I stay in touch with my freshman 

roomie Kathy Dobbyn Bouchard and 

Nancy McCallum Brennerman. Kathy 

is in her 2nd year of retirement after 

various teaching and administrative 

assignments with the Portland School 

System. Kathy delights in her role as 

Grammy and occasional Substitute 

Teacher. Daughter, Amy, has a daughter, 

Campbell Paige Kennedy (3), and 

lives in Falmouth, ME. Son, Kevin, 

and wife live in Melrose, MA, and are 

the proud parents of Kathryn Marie, 

born in March. This past July, Nancy 

retired after 26 years with Unum 

Insurance as an Underwriter. She 

loves retirement, is busier than ever, 

and travelled with a group of women 

to the Stonehenge/Glastonbury area of 

England this year. Her summer activities 

concluded with a family vacation 

on Great Diamond Island in Casco 

Bay, Portland, ME. Maryann Shebek 

Korona, from Alexandria, VA, retired 

6 years ago from her position as a 

Federal Agency Attorney, though she 

still teaches legal courses. Although 

Maryann only attended Regis through 

her sophomore year, she speaks fondly 

of her time with our class as an 

English major. Husband John also 

retired 6 years ago from employment 

with the federal government. They 

recently vacationed in Costa Rica to 

celebrate daughter Betsy’s 30th birthday. 

Betsy works for MSNBC in NYC 

as a Senior Producer and is completing 

her MBA at NYU. Maryann’s son 

Michael is completing his last year 

of law school at Roger Williams U in 

Rhode Island. Dyanne Russet Ridill 

resides in Needham, MA. She and husband 

John retired 2 years ago. Dyanne 

taught art for several years while her 

sons were young, but most recently 

worked in landscape design. They 

winter at their home in Palm Harbor, 

FL, where they golf. Dyanne and John 

have two sons, Park and David. Park 

recently was married this past June. 

David is 28 and lives in Idaho in the 

Teton Valley on the Wyoming border. 

Dyanne says, “It is God’s country without 

a doubt.” Dyanne visited David for 

2 weeks this past summer participating 

outdoor activities she’s always 

loved. Dyanne occasionally runs into 

Sara Donaue Jakobek, who also lives 

in Needham.

First, as a class we extend our most 

sincere condolences to Mary Ellen 

Moran Suidut on the death of her 

husband, Ed. Ed was not just a star 

athlete, he was a stellar man. Our 

love and prayers are with you. Anne 

DeRusha Meade wrote to share the 

death of her beloved mother-in-law, 

Hazel Meade. When you can describe

class notes 

your mother-in-law as an inspiration, 

a joy, a gift to all who met her, the 

embodiment of grace, courage and 

love, and the person you want to be 

when you grow up, you are one very 

lucky daughter-in-law. Our prayers 

and support to Dr. Doug and Anne 

on this great loss. Sheila J. Murphy 

recently lost her sister-in-law, Karen, 

in a scuba accident. Karen was a 

beloved member of the Murphy clan 

and will be very sorely missed. Love 

and prayers to all. Shelia H. Murphy 

Cerjanec has taken up residence in 

Indian Rocks Beach, FL this summer 

and has proven herself to be quite the 

interior and exterior designer since 

moving in. She is also a killer Words 

with Friends player on Facebook. 

Sheila J. Murphy continues to teach Art 

at Matignon HS in Cambridge. She is 

a world class travel companion and is 

most gracious in pushing me around 

on our annual trips somewhere with 

Linda Faldetta. Dr. Linda is still 

a psychologist with the Comm. of 

MA Department of Developmental 

Services. Linda and I had a great 

weekend up in Kennebunkport 

doing the accessible trails and eating 

fresh caught seafood. Linda and 

her husband, Tom Lepisto, continue 

to organize and lead cross-country 

skiing treks in the winter and hike 

the rest of the year throughout New 

England and the Southwest. They also 

have fabulous vacations to the South 

Pacific, Egypt, and South America and 

anywhere there are wonderful astronomical 

event sightings. Cathy Stare 

has retired as Asst. Superintendent of 

the Rockville NY Diocese Dept of Ed. 

She has recently finished an advanced 

certificate in educational leadership 

from St. John’s U, NY. She is leading 

some groups in medical ethics at the 

medical school at SUNY Stony Brook. 

She is supervising student teachers 

for St Joseph College on Long Island 

NY. For fun, she continues to hike the 

Adirondacks. She has bagged all 46 of 

the highest caps and most of the less 

lofty. She loves hiking Long Island and 

attending theater, when not working 

on community issues for her congregation, 

The Sister of Charity of Halifax. 

MJ Curtain May dropped a note to 

say Kathy Moore Donohue and her 

family visited Skaneateles, NY twice 

this summer. Kathy was on her way to 

participate in a pilgrimage to Camino 

de Santiago de Compostela. MJ had 

wonderful trips to California and 

Cape Cod to visit with family with a 

focus on spoiling grandchildren. She 

also is a terrific Words with Friends 

competitor. I wish I could spell as well 

and had as good a vocabulary; she 

slaughters me regularly. Anne and 

Doug Meade will be celebrating their 

25th wedding anniversary in October.

Hello from your new class reporters! 

We would like to thank Sukey for her 

15 dedicated years as our reporter. We 

only hope we can be half as good. 

What a great reunion we had celebrating 

40 years! Thirty-five classmates 

attended reunion, with several of us 

staying over at Domitilla Hall. Friday 

night was the class party at Morrison 

House. After a wonderful dinner, we 

were entertained by Kathy Edwards 

Hall and her rendition of “Heard It 

Through the Grapevine.” Backup 

singers/dancers were Sharon McDede 

Kolor, Paula Downes Vogel, and Janice 

Carragher Charles. Mary Lou Wenthe 

added her version of the “Regis Girl” 

showcasing 4 decades in 4 minutes. 

Janice Charles played guitar and sang 

songs we all remembered well. It was 

a fun night. We thank you all, especially 

our reunion committee, Marie 

Sullivan, Ann Hafey O’Neil, Mary Lou 

Wenthe, and Kathy Edwards Hall. 

Saturday was the Alumni Luncheon, 

class meeting and catch up with old 

friends. At night the International 

dinner was served under a tent at 

the tower. Dancing went well into 

the night and the class of ’72 showed 

off our stuff! We even group danced 

with our dynamic college President 

Antoinette M. Hays, PhD, RN. 

On Sunday we departed and vowed 

to meet again in 5 years, hopefully 

with more classmates. Check out 

some of the posted pictures on www.

Walsh Davidson reports on Facebook 

that 2 of her 3 children are married 

and 1 is still at home. If you are on 

Facebook, please join the Regis Class

empty nesters, kids off to college and 

married, and even a few grandchildren 

in the mix, it seems strange to report 

that my daughter is in the 2nd grade. 

My husband Ira and I adopted AiLi

at rest. I went hto San Francisco and 

Sonoma over Labor Day weekend for a 

family reunion and a wedding (and a 

much-needed vacation)!

Web and cat Bailey. She and Web 

celebrated their 20-year anniversary 

this summer, spending a week in 

Lancaster, PA, which they love. Heidi 

works at Canandaigua National Bank

quilting group at her church, and volunteers 

at a local food bank. She hopes 

all is well with her classmates! S. 

Cabrini greatly influenced Annamaria 

Cobuccio Paone’s (my) career path. 

Biotechnology was just emerging 

during the 1980’s, and Sr. saw the 

future of science in the biotechnology 

industry. She would take any opportunity 

to tell me that I must consider 

a job in biotechnology. I recall a time 

in the mailroom when she appeared 

opposite my mailbox unexpectedly and 

said only, “Biotechnology.” I followed 

her advice and accepted a research 

position at a biotechnology company 

in Cambridge after graduation. Four 

years ago I accepted a position at a 

biotechnology company in Woburn 

as a Sr. Clinical Project Manager in 

Drug Supply. I have been working in 

this industry for the past 25 years and 

find it very rewarding. I live in North 

Reading with my husband Peter (we 

celebrated our 23rd anniversary in 

August) and 3 children: Cristian (18) 

will be attending UMass Amherst in 

the fall; Julian (16); and Sofia (12). I

cookout at chez moi! Several Regis 

girls and their families joined us. 

It was fun to catch up with Barbara 

L’Heureux Murphy, Christine Enwright 

Wilson, Jen Oteri, and Briege Walsh 

O’Connell. We had a lot of laughs, but

youth who suffer from mental or 

poverty obstacles and need a place in

wrote, “I was happy to be part of this 

special volunteer team of over 300 

volunteers and 170 campers. My special 

camper was Kathy, who has Down 

Syndrome. What a remarkable young

At our 10th Reunion this past May, 

high on the hilltop in sunshine and 

shadow, 10 years felt like a mere 10 

minutes. Our love for Regis College 

was evident, as we had a strong showing 

throughout the weekend. Kathryn 

Phillips Livingston even flew from 

Albuquerque, NM, to attend. One of 

the many highlights of the reunion 

was an unexpected rivalry with the 

class of 2007—you may have won 

the ping pong battle in Maria Hall 

this time, ladies, but we’ll win the 

war! Our class certainly hasn’t lost 

our ability to party: We danced the 

night away under the tent at the 

Tower Garden. Class President Karyn 

Lessard received the Young Alumni 

Award during the reunion luncheon 

for her contributions to Regis. She, 

Kelly Linehan and others were instrumental 

in orchestrating the unforgettable 

weekend. The 10 years 

since graduating Regis College have 

brought about many changes, not only 

within our class, but in the world. As 

the senior class during 9/11, we have 

come into our womanhood during 

turbulent times. Despite difficulties, 

within the warmth and love of the 

Regis College community during our 

reunion, we were innocent and carefree 

again. When the reunion ended, it 

was difficult to say goodbye. I cannot 

wait to see everyone again for our 15th 

reunion. Congratulations to Angelita 

Salazar Gonzalez and husband Joseph 

who welcomed their 2nd daughter, 

Avery Johanna, on April 5. Avery 

joins her sister, Adrian Josephine, in 

a growing, happy family. Hillary 

Carpinella and husband Paul welcomed 

twin boys, Jacob Anthony, born 

June 15 and Thomas Benjamin, born 

on June 16. They join big brother 

Isaac in the Carpinella clan. Ewa 

Cybulski Wlaz received an MBA in 

May from the U of Hartford alongside 

her husband Krys. This superwoman

REGIS TODAY 

July—much to the disappointment of 

brother Aiden who has to share his 

toys. Kellie Marren Rowens is married 

living in Scituate, MA, with 2 

girls: Mollie (4) and Alice (2). They are 

about to add a 3rd girl in December. 

Kel is still working as a Nurse on a 

Pediatric Oncology floor, and enjoyed 

the beach with her beautiful daughters 

all summer. It has been an 

extremely exciting 2011. As for me, 

Christina Aprea Young, yes, now— 

Young! I got married in late June, 

with 2 Regis bridesmaids by my side: 

Nicole Messuri ’06 and Erin Campbell 

’07. The wedding was amazing, and I 

was thankful to have planned so many 

Regis events in the past: Our day was 

a piece of cake compared to Reunions! 

I bid Regis a bittersweet goodbye in 

2011 for MIT’s Alumni Association. I 

completed my Master’s at Regis, and 

we bought a house in Litchfield, NH! 

Lastly, I’ve begun a photography business, 

Moments Captured Young. So, if 

you’re in need of a lifestyle photographer,

The Results Are In! 

Information from the Alumni Survey 

Susan Gelmini Tammaro, PhD ’77 

Dean of Institutional Research and Assessment 

The last issue of Regis Today contained an alumni survey. We 

asked you to tell us a little bit about yourself, about your experience 

at Regis, and to let us know how much emphasis you think 

we should place on various things. We heard from 798 of you! 

These responses will guide us as we work to provide an engaging 

and valuable educational experience for our future students. Your 

input will have a major impact on our strategic plan, and on our 

day-to-day decisions. You told us what we are good at: Regis is a 

welcoming community, Regis empowered you to challenge yourself 

academically, and the education you received at Regis made 

a significant contribution to the general quality of your life. You 

also told us what we should improve: you reported that we should 

emphasize skills valuable in the workforce, career advising, and 

academic advising. We are focusing on precisely those three things. 

You will be hearing and reading about the changes we are making 

in those areas in the near future. 

Regis was your launch; you have taken that education and gone 

on to do wonderful things. You have lots of accomplishments to 

be proud of, for all of us to be proud of, because they reflect the 

strength, heritage, and charism of the Sisters of Saint Joseph. 

Fifty-nine percent of you have a graduate degree, or are currently 

enrolled in a graduate program. You are teachers, attorneys, 

CEOs, international sales officers, business owners, and ski pros. 

You are Fulbright Scholars, citizen of the year, and library trustees. 

You are very active in service to your community. You sit on 

boards, building committees, have served in the Peace Corps, and 

volunteer at your local schools and parishes. 

You are generous toward Regis. Eighty-one percent of you told 

us that it is important for you to contribute financially to Regis. 

You are committed to ensuring an excellent education for future 

students. In addition to financial contributions, 79 percent indicated 

that it is important for you to contribute in other ways. 

We are a strong and caring community. Your responses to the 

survey show that. Your help, your advice, and your opinions all 

make Regis the incredible place that it is. You continue to be an 

important part of Regis and for that, we thank you.

REGIS TODAY 

Funeral Reflection 

for Our Mother 

BY JUDITH KInG WeBeR ’61 

Our mother, Lillian Marie Snell King ’34, was a 

remarkable and accomplished woman by any standard. 

Mom’s lifespan of 100 years and 52 days is, 

in and of itself, remarkable. During Mom’s century 

the world literally transformed itself. 

Mom was born two months before the Titanic 

sank on April 12, 1912. She died in the month Apple 

Computer rolled out the iPad 3. In between, she 

experienced the Great Depression, two world wars 

and several armed conflicts. She saw women gain the 

right to vote, the Civil Rights movement, the Atomic 

Age commence, and man walk on the moon. She saw 

telephones go from operator-dependent crank boxes 

to the wireless cell phones attached to the ears of 

almost everyone. She saw transportation by horsedrawn 

wagon and foot, to motor vehicle travel for 

almost all. She saw the computer development that 

has transformed communications. 

Mom was never just a passive observer: she 

actively embraced the entire world that surrounded 

her with fascinated curiousity and enthusiasm. She 

was vitally interested 

in it all. She made it 

“I have had a happy life, 

if I had to do it all over again, 

I would do it exactly 

the same way. 

” 

her business to learn 

continuously, virtually 

to the end. She was a 

teacher by profession 

and it was her core 

belief that education 

was a lifetime process, 

and that it was both 

your duty and responsibility to yourself and to your 

fellow travelers on this earth to be aware and keep 

abreast of the world around you. 

Her faith was the alpha and omega of her 

existence. Until her final breath her faith was 

unwavering. Mom’s faith was a silent and deeply 

personal faith. She did not wear it on her sleeve. 

She was never “preachy” nor was she sanctimonious 

or maudlin about her faith. She had scant patience 

for those who were. Rather, she lived it every day, 

teaching by example. 

For many, many years, she kept a small wooden 

cross on her night table. In the past months, the 

cross migrated to her hands. She was holding it 

when she died. She is holding it now. It was not that 

her faith was unchallenged. She lost her mother at 

age 5 to tuberculosis, and her father died months 

before her wedding, at age 25, having struggled with 

Multiple Sclerosis for 14 years. She lost our dad at 

age 56, a loss she never quite got over. Ultimately, 

she came to terms with her losses. She knew how 

to make lemonade out of lemons better than anyone 

I ever knew. 

Family meant the world to Mom. She had a thirst 

for the tight bonds of a real nuclear family. Perhaps 

that is why she was drawn like a moth to the flame 

to the rollicking, frolicking, 10-sibling Irish immigrant 

family of my dad. It was so different from the 

solid and supportive, but serious adults-only home 

of her childhood. Her marriage filled in a space in 

her life. She adored my dad and they shared a fine 

and happy marriage. Lillian remained until the end, 

“Leo’s girl.” 

In the past few years, Mom was well aware that 

the sand in her life’s hourglass was rapidly dwindling. 

She accepted this fact with grace and dignity. 

She reminisced about her past, sharing a myriad 

of memories. It was one of her last, best, and most 

valued gifts to us. 

It seems fitting and appropriate to close this 

reflection with Mom’s own words spoken to me not 

so long ago: “I have lived a very long life. I have had 

a happy life. I went to all the places I wanted to go. I 

did all the things I wanted to do. If I had it to do all 

over again, I would do it exactly the same way. I am 

not afraid to die. I am ready to go.” 

Folks, life does not get better than that!
