CLASS REPS: Catherine (Cathy) Robinson Clark and Jennifer Carter Special thanks to Catherine (Kathy) Martin and Susan (Susie) Wright Gooderham for coordinating our 45th Reunion. Judith (Judy) Davidson Whitehead arrived from Nassau with Alannah Campbell Kearns in time to join us for dinner. At the Miller Tavern, we had two special presentations. Gail Sinclair recounted some of the insights she has gained as Janet Ritch ’s executor. They were all about Janet’s support of Indigenous people and her writing. Catherine (Cathy) Kennedy enlightened us on the wonderful dance career of Laurie McLeod as well as her love for her young son. Kathy Martin ’s second grandchild, Fred, was born in

January 2019, and her son Taylor married Jordan Booth in Squamish, B.C. in July. She and Bob had plans to cycle in Croatia in May. They were to return via Paris after a visit with her sister, Sue Vernon Pellerin 1980. Elizabeth (Liz) Saunders has a new granddaughter Leah Melissa, born January 10. Her daughter Olivia now works with her and is taking the business in new directions. Gillian (Gil) O’Reilly is chair of Telling Tales, Canada’s only all children’s book festival, and plans to finish several writing projects. She and Tony took a trip to Ireland and Northern Ireland; she was delighted to discover that the ghost that haunted her ancestor’s church (and caused his death) is still around, but now safely in a jar! Cynthia Kane Quigley has officially retired.
