Tell us what you're doing now:
I am especially enjoying my family. Two of Jim ('76) and my daughters attended Le Moyne, married classmates and were married at the college chapel. We now have 7 grandchildren and I am pushing for a fourth generation Dolphin. I am very involved with an organization concerned with the condition of women and girls in developing countries. A niche, for sure, perhaps because I have daughters.

Share one person, place or thing that defines your Le Moyne experience:
The sense of camaraderie within my major in the 1970's was a very special thing. It is very hard to quantify something so significant and lasting as that relationship.

What has a liberal arts education meant to you:
 My Le Moyne education has, over and above the opportunity to earn a living, connected me to the wider world in many ways. I feel that that becomes more important as I get older.
