hopes to complete her first half
marathon this fall. Neil Cremin,
happily married with daughters
Lucy (3) and Maggie (born June

Kristen Kelly Blankenship has
gone back to school in San Diego
to pursue a master’s in special
education and an Education
Specialist teaching credential for
students with mild to moderate
needs. Kristen’s daughter Sumner

was great to see him again after
all these years!” Maura Sinacola

sans children to Honolulu
and Lanaii for 9 days in July.
While in Honolulu, they ran into

exactly the same!” In May, Maura

MGM Grand in Las Vegas. Dyan
Perewicz Welch in Orlando has
had her 2nd baby girl. “I’m the
medical director for the Walt
Disney World Marathon,” Dyan
says, “so I oversee 1,000 medical
volunteers over the marathon
weekend! It’s an amazing event
with 50+k runners!” Dyan will
oversee full physicals for the top
75 athletes at the MLB pre-draft
physical camp. Jen D’Orazio
Hollingsworth took a trip north
to visit friends, including Beth
Sargent Fenton (whom I also
caught up with one Sunday
morning) and Jennifer Ellis
Vachon. Says Jennifer, “It was
great to spend the day with her
and the kids, watching them run
through the sprinklers and have
a water fight.” Jennifer added
another member to her family:
Delaney Mae, who arrived
on July 2. Andrea Hammond
Burke still lives in Milton Mills,
NH, and works as a part-time
speech pathologist for Early
Intervention. Her youngest of 4
children turned 2 in Oct. Sadly,
Andrea lost her mother in June
after a 5-year battle with cancer.
Says Andrea, “I share this as a
way of expressing my feelings
and how blessed I am to have
Beth Sargent Fenton in my life.
Beth made trips to spend time
with me at my parents’ house
during my mother’s last few
months. Beth, you are truly one
of my dearest friends and words
cannot express how much your
love and support has meant to
my family, my children and me.
We love you!” Andrea, we pass
along sympathy for your loss.

new position at Wellesley College
in Apr. 2009 as the inaugural
director of marketing and stewardship.
She celebrated 10 years
of wedded bliss with Che in Oct.
2009—or at least she thought
she had. Turns out that due to a
paperwork glitch, they weren’t
legally married. “A few bureaucratic
hoops later, we’re now
married,” she says. “Question
is, do we go on another honeymoon?”
She has been in touch
with Heather Stockford Van
Gelder, Charlotte Tims, Sarah
Clements Yoslov, and Brooke
Scarpa via Facebook. Rebecca
says, “Life is very good, although
I do still harbor fantasies of dropping
out of the rat race and moving
to the middle of nowhere ME
to raise Bantam chickens, Border
Collies, and goats. Maybe when
I turn 50?” Heather Stockford
Van Gelder graduated with
her master’s in education in
instructional technology from
Drury U in Springfield, MO.
She also spent time in Zambia,
Africa, where she stayed in the
village of Kaoma and produced
a documentary called “A WISE
Journey,” a case study about
the not-for-profit organization
W.I.S.E. (Women’s Initiatives
that Strengthen and Empower).
Says Heather, “It was one of the
most amazing things I’ve ever
experienced, and I got to touch
a lion!” Christine Boulanger
McCarthy is living in Frankin,
MA, and continues to work at
Liberty Mutual as a customer
service manager. She gave birth
to Andrew in 2006 and is enjoying
life with husband Kevin.

her master’s thesis while teaching

Reeds, I have moved to the creative
services department of the
Eagle-Tribune and have found it
a fantastic learning experience.
Once again I have enjoyed hearing
from all of you, many for the
first time in more years than we
all wish to count. Speaking to
you all has been one of the benefits
of writing these notes, and
I thank you all for sharing with
me and your friends from CSC.
