CLASS REPS: Linda Oland, Melinda Taylor and Mary McDerment Wellner In keeping with the Chronicle ’s theme of longevity and the upcoming celebration of our 35th Reunion, we asked our class to share what they have been doing for a long time. Fahmida Bhabha has been a Pilates instructor for 14 years, showing people how to stay healthy physically through movement. As a dōTERRA wellness advocate and educator, she supports people’s health physically, emotionally and spiritually. MaryAnn Curtis celebrated her 10th wedding anniversary. She enjoys semi- retirement post-IBM and a leaner version of herself due to a new health and fitness program. Jennifer Dolman celebrates 30 years since she graduated from the faculty of law at McGill, 20 years since she made partner at Osler. She is a member of Women Get on Board, is involved with the Ontario Bar Association and recently joined the University of Toronto’s College of Electors – with Mr. Wilfert! Barb Fallon has been promoted to a full professor in the department of social work at U of T. Liz White Fedryk is senior HR business partner at RBC Capital Markets. An Achilles tendon injury has her off the squash court and into yoga, spinning, cross country skiing and sailing with her husband Mike. They are empty-nesters, with Kevin in Waterloo engineering and Jeremy, an aspiring music producer, in pre-Ivey business at Western. Rosemary Leslie has been running long distances since Grade 5. She recalls being excited to compete on the Havergal cross-country team at the Ontario regional level in Grade 13. Graydon Moffat is partnering with a venture capital firm specializing in female-focused health and wellness packaged consumer goods and is entering the world of cannabinoid skin care with her Graydon skin care line. Cathy Shamie celebrates her 19th anniversary in legal at BMO Capital Markets. Nicola Von Schroeter engages in various advocacy projects for the Arrowsmith

School to spread the word about how the program helps to influence neurocognitive and behavioural outcomes in children diagnosed with learning disabilities. Cindy Hayhurst celebrates her 30th wedding anniversary this fall. She shared a sentiment hopefully shared by many classmates: “I know there’s no more longevity in my life than in my Havergal friends, whether I see them every week, once every five years at our reunion or in pictures on Facebook. Some of us went on to university together, lived together after graduation, travelled together, were in one another’s wedding parties (#throwback to ugly bridesmaid dresses). We have celebrated the births of our children and now their graduations; we are godmothers to one another’s sons and daughters; we have seen one another through marriages ending, battles with illness and the deaths of parents. I could go on, but it’s simple: Havergal gave us a very special gift – that of our fellow Old Girls, and as we rapidly approach those all-too-familiar 40 years on, we’re so lucky to be able to count on those friendships.” On a sad note, our friend Lisa Wellman passed away in 2018. In tributes on Facebook, Sheena Robertson said, “beautiful, and lovely, and talented… I remember her exuberant laugh,” and Delia Grenville wrote, “what I loved about Lisa was that she was cool with everyone. She laughed with everyone.” Together we will honour Lisa at our reunion, so please bring photos and memories. Hope to see everyone at our 35th Reunion!
