How I spend my waking hours (work, volunteering, hobbies, etc.):
I retired from full time work in January of 2010. I continue to teach courses at the local community college,
adjunct, as enrollment permits. I am an ordained minister, and I serve as an assistant Pastor at my church. I am a
certified life coach, and I work about 10 hours per week in my coaching business, KEM, Inc.
I lost a sister to breast cancer in 2009, so my remaining four sisters and I are very close and spend as much time
together as we can. One has Alzheimer's, and I manage her finances and care for her jointly with another sister.
I have a HUGE extended family. My mom was one of 13 children, and I have one aunt and two uncles remaining.
One is aging and ailing, and I spend time caring for him and his wife. In addition, my husband is the eldest of 13
children. He is very close to all of them. So I have a HUGE extended family that leaves me no time to feel bored
or unfulfilled.
I feel greatly blessed.

I would tell them that their Mount Holyoke education will open many doors for them. Every door might not be the
best door. Choose wisely. Life goes by really fast.
I would tell them to pursue their dreams, and that the best barometers to measure success are inner peace and
happiness.

Inner Circle (spouse, children, grandchildren, significant others, pets, plants, etc.):
There's the family of my oldest brother Doug (now deceased) in Boulder, CO. I try to stay in touch with (Doug's
son) my nephew Sean and his wife Patricia and daughter Elsa. Then there's my second brother Bert who now
lives in Maine. I spend holidays (this year it was Thanksgiving) with his family. I keep in touch with his oldest son
Danny in Charleston, SC and with his oldest daughter Caitlin in Madison, NJ. Bert and his wife Marilyn have two
children still living at home: Tim (freshman in high school) and Kristin (seventh grade). I live in the same town with
my best friend from high school, Krystyna Koski Budd. It's great to have a least one close connection living
nearby. I miss my work colleagues since retirement, but luckily for me one of them lives a few houses away
across the street so I can stay in touch that way. I'm also in touch with a few other friends from high school and
last year worked on a class-sponsored scholarship committee with them.
How I spend my waking hours (work, volunteering, hobbies, etc.):
Nothing too exciting to report here. Due to back troubles, I need to do some stretching exercises almost every day
upon getting out of bed (some of it in bed, actually). Twice a week at least I go to the gym to improve my fitness.
This year I'm going to try for three times a week. Besides an occasional classical music concert with my friend
Krys, I have only one regular outside activity: I belong to the Fanwood "Hook and Needle Club", a group of mostly
women--we do have one man--that meets weekly in the local library to work on knitting and crocheting projects.
Some of these projects are personal, but many of them are for donation. We have made baby hats, sweaters and
blankets; hats for veterans; lap-ghans (small afghans) for wheelchair patients at local hospitals, and a variety of
scarves. I can't name all of the groups we have given to or even come up with the number of items donated, but
with at least twenty of us, I can say that the donations were numerous. I spend some time on household
maintenance, fixing up the house. Now I am thinking about possible renovations--to enjoy while I am here and to
prepare the house for eventual sale. I have hopes of planning some travel with Krys, now that we are both retired
and her children are almost independent. I get regular emails from Road Scholar about educational trips, and I
imagine that's what we'll go for when we're ready. In summer, when in Maine, I also go to a similar craft group
that meets in the local library. Up there I have some small yard work and cottage maintenance tasks, too. Hope to
cross paths with Susan Ellis when she's in New Hampshire and I am in Maine--next summer. Oh! And this year I
have spent a good deal of time trying to plan this upcoming 45th reunion. I've enjoyed having the contacts with
classmates and with the staff of the Alumnae Associ ation. One way to keep from feeling too isolated. I hope to
renew my MHC connections in May and carry on with them in future.

I can't imagine that I could have much to say to any eager young graduates--and I dislike public speaking--so I'll
have to pass on this option.
I tried to upload a photo below but my photos are all at least 3 MB. So I'll just say that I go to Center Lovell, Maine
in the summer. It's only about 10 or 15 miles to the New Hampshire border. The family cottage is on Kezar Lake.
We're on the east side and have a spectacular western view of the White Mountains and of the sun setting behind
the mountains on clear days. Last summer I discovered a wonderful place in Maine--the Coastal Maine Botanical
Gardens. I recommend it to anyone who can get to the Boothbay area.
If anyone is thinking of visiting Maine or already lives in Maine and wants to get in touch, I would love it. Just
email me before July at khkendall@Comcast.net and we can plan to meet.

Retired for just one year, I now have time to go walking and hiking with my husband. I continue my volunteer work

our thirty-eight-year-old son with Asperger Syndrome become an independent adult. Recently we both signed up
to be reading volunteers at one of our local elementary schools. After nearly thirty years working with extremely
high needs, differently-abled students in the public schools, I am not yet sure what the next great passion will be!

I would repeat the reminder sent by one of our nineteenth century alumnae, Emily Dickinson, in a letter to her
friend, Mary Bowles: "The Heart wants what it wants - or else it does not care." We often think that the activities
and studies we engage in are preparing us for a certain path. Listening to our hearts can help us find our way and
lead us in new, exciting and unexpected directions.

way to COMMUNICATE. Your friends and family support groups are the most important people through the
coming celebrations, and disappointments.

Inner Circle (spouse, children, grandchildren, significant others, pets, plants, etc.):
My husband, two sons, daughter-in-law, and three grandchildren form my inner circle. We are a very close family
and regularly spend together a significant amount of time. Our older son lives in Brookline, MA, where we have
our primary home; our younger son and his family reside in NH less than a mile from our other house. We enjoy
frequent family dinners and gatherings in both locations, and love to vacation together in interesting spots. We are
very active and take pleasure in hiking, cross-country skiing, and water sports with our family.
I also consider my old and dear friends a part of my inner circle. I take great pride and pleasure in maintaining
friendships formed as a young girl and in college. These close friends and confidants become increasingly
important to me as I age.
How I spend my waking hours (work, volunteering, hobbies, etc.):
In December 2007, I retired from thirty-five years in public education, mostly as Elementary Mathematics
Coordinator in the Brookline Public Schools. By that time, I was no longer raising two sons, one of whom was a
two-time Olympian, and the other who had special needs. I was able to immerse myself in many activities that I
could not attempt before that time. My husband and I had always done extensive travel, but starting in 2008 we
added some even more exotic adventures. We boarded an expedition ship for a month-long journey to Antarctica,
South Georgia, and the Falkland Islands. We spent a week in Denali National Park at the end of the ninety-mile
road into the park. We explored Tasmania, and culminated that trip on a party boat in Sydney Harbor where we
witnessed a spectacular fireworks display to ring in the new year. Next year, we are off to Patago nia for what we
hope will be another memorable vacation.
In 2008, I became a master gardener, and eventually served a two-year stint as the Education Coordinator for the
Massachusetts Master Gardener Association and as a member of the MMGA Board of Directors. I joined a book
group comprised of Brookline teachers and librarians, and began to participate in the Osher Lifelong Learning
Institute at Brandeis University. In my NH community, I train and lead a group of twenty weed watchers who
monitor our lake and small ponds for potential invasive species; as of now we are grateful that we have no
invasives in our water bodies.
Since the birth of my first grandchild, I have devoted a full day a week to babysitting for the grandchildren. I love
that I know my three grandchildren so intimately, and that I keep involved in their daily activities. They are truly a
special joy.

Inner Circle (spouse, children, grandchildren, significant others, pets, plants, etc.):
A retired and supportive husband of 34 years, beloved son in graduate school, 93 year old mother who needs
support, scattered friends also coping with transition to old age and retirement, with whom we are reconnecting.
And the increasing joy of mentoring younger - now much younger! - colleagues. I supervise three young Chinese
women, for whom my husband and I are the "modern" parents they don't have. My work relationships, which
cross cultural and generational divides, continue to enrich my life in unexpected ways.
How I spend my waking hours (work, volunteering, hobbies, etc.):
In 1970 just after graduation I joined the Peace Corps and went to live in a small farming village in South Korea,
where I worked on a rural community development project. After a reasonably successful career as a college
professor, and another ten years in international education, my life has now come full circle. In 2010, I took a job
with the Quaker-affiliated American Friends Service Committee, and my husband and I moved to China, from
which I manage AFSC's agricultural development assistance program in North Korea. The chance at my age to
be back working at the grass roots level, mucking about in rice paddies on the other side of the DMZ, is an
enormous challenge and an unexpected blessing.
I travel alot - to North Korea, and around China organizing study tours and exchanges for North Korean partners,
to Southeast Asia for business and pleasure, and to the US to do advocacy work and visit family and friends. I run
an office in China and manage a program... actually, I'm rather obsessive about my job and pretty much all I do is
work. My husband, on the other hand, is very happily retired from college teaching and does all the cooking,
laundry, cleaning, and household management. We both think we have the better part of the bargain.

I would quote from a poem - To be of use, by Marge Piercy:
The work of the world is common as mud.
Botched, it smears the hands, crumbles to dust.
But the thing worth doing well done
has a shape that satisfies, clean and evident.
Greek amphoras for wine or oil,
Hopi vases that held corn, are put in museums
but you know they were made to be used.
The pitcher cries for water to carry
and a person for work that is real.

There is no one path. We are in a period where individuals will have the opportunity to do many things in their
lives, before and after worklife. Find a hobby now which will carry you through this period. Find friends who enjoy
what you do and will be with you throughout your life. Find a partner who will work with you throughout your life.
Have children. Hope to have grandchildren. At the age of 66 these are the things I value.

I retired at the end of the 2013-14 school year after 20 years as a librarian at a Pre-K through 6th grade
independent Montessori school in Manhattan, and I'm still finding my way into/through this phase of my life. I
spend a lot of time procrastinating about finally organizing my environment, some time catching up on reading
and movies that didn't seem to fit into my working life schedule, and less but every-increasing time trying to visit
museums and other cultural institutions in the city. I'm playing an absurd amount of Scrabble on my iPhone---it's
addictive! I'm also visiting my mother once or twice a week in the assisted living facility to which she chose to
move after she was flooded out of her home in October 2012 by Superstorm Sandy. I'm cooking more, lunching
with friends on an irregular basis, and playing social bridge (yay MHC!) about once a week with a group of women
(and some of their friends) from the various schools that my children attended. Altogether, so far, a relaxing life--still room to figure out what I want to do "when I grow up."

Very limited. I have two friends from Brown University and Colby that I am corresponding toregularly. I have had a
number of cats and dogs, and of course, horses, but have gotten away from all this moving to Sarasota. I am not
married and have no children, and because I have no sisters or brothers, have no close relatives, but my general
family keeps in touch by letter and email.
How I spend my waking hours (work, volunteering, hobbies, etc.):
I live in an assisted living facility but am never there once the day begins. I always do an hour of walking. Also, I
volunteer at the Selby Library for Friends, and also the Opera House helping with costumes and ushering. I also
usher at both the Symphony and FloridaStudio Theatre. Also, I attend CCMH Prospect House in Sarasota, and
the Women's Resource Center, using the computers. I like to get out and visit the art galleries, and have been
doing some studio art as a spin off from my work in photography. Having the beaches close by really doesn't
make that much of a difference to me, surprisingly enough, but Siesta Key is a really nice beach. I still miss New
England, particularly the falls and springs.
I think if I were talking to graduates, I would tell them to be patient. So often we assume opportunity is just waiting
for us, and we fail to realize that delaying a bit longer can lead to more fulfilling opportunities. I am not sorry I am
still single, but I certainly did enjoy the time I spent dating. I still love to get out when I can.

You can create change. We helped end a war, open up opportunities for women in the work place, and further
civil rights. But there is still so, so much to be done. You will face many challenges, especially if you want to
combine work with family. We were wrong - you can not have it all. You will have to make hard choices. Which is
why it is so important to be politically engaged and continue the work we started. Through your efforts (and the
many personal decisions you will make from recycling to buying from family-friendly businesses to healthy
eating), your daughters and sons, and our grand-children, can grow up in a world where "women's concerns" are
everyone's concerns.

have served on the vestry. The days are never empty.

I would tell them to go walk a dog and notice the eager way the dog appreciates the little details in its path.

How I spend my waking hours (work, volunteering, hobbies, etc.):
This past year seemed consumed mostly with property related issues on all fronts. The good times were visits
with family & friends, weddings, and travel - the highlight being our family trip to southern Africa for three weeks
with OAT. Right now I am spending most of my time preparing to sell some land in the Exumas. I read for
relaxation and have only used a paint brush for house projects recently, but hope to get back to watercolors soon.
Two years ago I took my mom to her 70th MHC reunion - what a treat for me!. When she moved into a retirement
home in Meredith NH, we moved into her home on Lake Winnipesaukee for more than half the year (my sister
has the other half). We winter on Staniel Cay in the Exumas, Bahamas, and spend the shoulder months in our
home in Lincoln MA where we raised our family. Our daughter lives in Brazil and our son in CA. No grandchildren
yet, so hopefully we have that to look forward to one day.

I was president of my class of 1970 because i could never have accomplished all i have had the opportunity to
do in my life without my four years at MHC.
I feel it was an education and exercise in building self- esteem to graduate from MHC.
My Washington DC internship opened many doors for me in Law which ended up combining my interests in
both art and law for the rest of my life.
i feel you have to be grateful for everything that comes your way, and MHC has been a part of the life of 5 in my
family.
