She just fell in love with the school on her first visit and is excited about her first- year curriculum. Jane Barstow Scalli retired on July 1, 2015, from Rockland Trust after 25 years. She enjoyed the beautiful Cape Cod summer by tend- ing to her garden, seeing long lost friends, enjoying the family home in Florida left to her and her siblings by their parents, visiting her son and family in Texas, and traveling. She says, "Life is good. Relax, renew, and enjoy every moment!"Ann Murray Boyle shared that her daughter, Bridget Boyle Stegman, received her Doctorate in Education, EdD, from Kansas State University in May of 2014. 1965 Patricia Geci Menger and her husband, Tom celebrated their 25th wedding anniversary on May 19, 2015. Tom has been listening to stories about her time at Bay Path Junior College for many years. In May, while visiting family in Florida, they visited her first-year roommate, Paula Kassover at her lovely condo in Boca Raton. Patricia says that Tom was finally able to put a face with a name! Lorraine Festa Roseman's new granddaughter, Juliet Roberts Dori, was born on January 13, 2016. 1966 50th REUNION % Noreen Giering Endriss retired three years ago from Quest Diagnostic Lab where she was a cytotechnologist for almost 40 years.

Gail Heubach Young was recruited during her time as a Bay Path student to work for the government and went on to earn multiple commendations for her service.

She serves on the board of directors for three not-for-profit organizations, has taken up oil and acrylic painting, traveled to Aruba, New Orleans, and is looking forward to visiting Charleston, SC. Time spent with her husband, three children, and seven grandchildren is priceless! 1968 Barbara Hitchcock Class Agent 102 Paradise Ln., Fiskdale, MA 01518 860.741.2991 bhlake8@aol.com Deborah "Deb" Huck Kermensky was delighted to get the reunion brochure and see her classmates Barbara Hitchcock and Ellie Gay '62 on the cover! She remembers when, about eight years after she graduated, she went to visit campus and Ellie Gay walked past her and said "Hello, Deb" as if she had never left. Deb says it is "one of the advantages of attending a small school!" Deb thinks it would be fun to support the Carpe Diem Dash even though she cannot walk in it due to two broken ankles from horse injuries. The "Mimosas Down Memory Lane" means a lot to Deb because she and her husband served mimosas at their wedding breakfast 27 years ago. They married at sunrise to symbolize a new beginning, but had such thick fog that they could not see each other during their vows. Deb says, "I could speak knowingly on a life well lived." By age 10 she knew she would have her own farm to provide the environment she wanted for all the animals she intended to have. She says that was the reason she was the very best at everything she did including: top of her Bay Path graduating class, starting her own secretarial firm, and becoming the number one realtor in her office until she was able to buy the Wilbraham farm at the age of 36. She talked to women who, when they were young, didn't know what they wanted in life. Deb feels that having an early, clear goal gave her better trajectory on her life, and how 'WELL' Bay Path prepared her for it. Deb and John are enjoying retirement on their 47-acre horse farm in north- east Tennessee. They are happily surrounded by deer, turkeys, hawks, owls, woodchucks, bobcats and, of course, horses! Deb shares that her region has a mild four season climate with rare, mild snowfall. She says what she misses most about "up home" is the Bay Path community—"FABULOUS New Englanders!" 1969 Carol Paddock Goodspeed Class Agent P.O. Box 26, Wales, MA 01081 413.245.3082 gdstd@aol.com Carol A. Goodspeed said that she truly enjoyed her time at Bay Path and comments on how much the college has grown since her time here in 1967. Carol went on to work in Worcester, MA, for a number of attorneys and since December of 2007, Carol has been working for the Water and Sewer Commission as a department assistant for the town of Charlton, MA. She will be retiring in 2018. Mary Torza retired as an executive assistant at the Connecticut Transit. She is loving retirement and splits her time between Windsor, CT, and Calabash, NC.
