2 FORTE ET GRATUM • AUTUMN 2014

What an honor it is to introduce this issue of Forte et Gratum; what an exciting time to be a part of the Columbus School for Girls community! The recent completion of a transformative building project has given our community the Wellness and Athletics Center and the Agnes Jeffrey Shedd Theater, significantly expanding the school’s options for its bright future. With its focus on the arts, this edition of Forte et Gratum highlights the accomplishments and endeavors of generations of CSG artists. Representing creative endeavors broadly, from experiences in stand-up comedy and playwriting to careers in filmmaking, art curation, and production management, the magazine showcases the deep and longstanding commitment to the arts that has been a hallmark of a CSG education since the school’s founding.

CSG alumnae discuss the many important qualities and traits they learned through their experiences in the arts. The ability to overcome both one’s fears and great adversity, the confidence to persist in the face of challenge and against all odds, and even the sense that one could “take on the world” are all lessons that alumnae learned as they pursued their artistic passions at CSG. As these thoughtful, articulate women often note, the teachers, muses, and mentors they encountered during their time at CSG were instrumental to their future success in the arts.

In addition to the voices of talented alumnae, you will find inside many examples of current students engaged in a wide creative spectrum of the arts at CSG. Playing the violin, creating a mural as a whole class, and working with an engineer to design a prosthetic dolphin tail, CSG students are as passionate about and as engaged in the arts as the featured alumnae.

Deep engagement in the arts is clearly not new to CSG. The school has always considered such experiences to be a core part of an excellent education. Today’s students are engaged in creative endeavors that represent a broad range of artistic expression. In addition to dedicated classes in the arts, girls collaborate across disciplines to solve problems in ways that call upon their ability to think creatively and to utilize artistic thinking as they do so. Using design thinking processes, the latest engineering and programming software, as well as more traditional art materials, our students are challenged to bring a multidisciplinary focus to the creative process. CSG teachers understand that they are not preparing their students for the world from which they, the teachers, have come; they must prepare their students for a world most of us cannot even fully envision: a complex, interconnected world that requires creative, flexible approaches to solving scientific, economic, and political problems that exist now, as well as those we cannot yet begin to comprehend but must face in the future. Incorporating the arts into an excellent, intellectually rigorous education enables students to be thinkers who will solve these complex, multi-faceted problems. CSG alumnae will be well equipped to do so, and they will have their creative experiences at the school to thank for that preparation.

Given the challenges and the opportunities that the world will present to our graduates, I can think of no greater way to equip them than to provide a range of artistic experiences reinforcing that for them, anything is possible!

Affectionately, Jennifer Ciccarelli

Several thousand students applied to be one of 100 flagship student ambassadors to China as part of President Obama’s 100K Strong Initiative, and CSG’s very own Michaela Milligan ’15 was excited to extend her knowledge of the Chinese culture as one of them.

As an ambassador, she will be sharing her transformative China experiences with students and writing for her local newspaper about the importance of studying Chinese abroad. In the summer of 2012, Michaela traveled with classmates to China with the HanBan and Confucius Institute. Michaela had

the opportunity to not only study at a Chinese university but also see major historical landmarks, like the Great Wall of China and The Forbidden City, and explore the bustling modern cities of Beijing, Changsha, and Shanghai.

Michaela has been a Mandarin student at CSG since Form VIII. Last year, she won the Upper School Mandarin award. She hopes to not only continue studying Chinese culture and language, but to also make documentaries about China to better educate Americans on this rising world power.

Young Women’s Leadership Network (YWLN) and National Coalition of Girls’ Schools (NCGS) launched the National Conference on Girls’ Education (NCGE) in 2012. The organization focuses on the healthy development of girls from public and private schools, in formal and informal settings.

NCGE 2014, with the theme “On the Forefront: Advancing Girls Together”, was a three-day forum held in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The conference offers educators, researchers, and advocates the opportunity to share resources and best practices from all sectors of girls’ education. CSG was honored to have three presenters at the conference:

CSG was involved in a wonderful opportunity that teamed with the Ohio Arts Council’s Riffe Gallery, the Ohio Arts Council, and visiting artist Kathie Johnson.

Form IV and an Upper School ceramics class gathered at the Riffe Gallery to visit the exhibition, “The Modern Table.” Interior designer, Fritz Harding, guided the girls through various works created by Ohio artists. The students learned about furniture construction and function, media choices, and visual presentation.

After the tour, students spent time with artist, Kathie Johnson, who was the artist-in-residence at CSG during the last two weeks of February. Johnson had the girls create table and chair designs, both individually and collaboratively. These designs were the springboard for the furniture that would later be constructed at CSG under Johnson’s direction.

The students met with Johnson on a regular basis to create furniture that connected with works seen at the Riffe Gallery. The Westwater Reading Room was converted into a studio space during the construction phase, and later converted into a display area to present their art. The final pieces were on display at the Riffe Gallery in May 2014. Form IV girls also gave a PowerPoint presentation about their art experience and shared their final pieces at Alumnae Weekend in April 2014.


PYC Collects Pennies to Help School in India Middle School Librarian, Beth Abramovitz, received the CSG travel grant to go to India to visit schools. As an extension of the Strong Girls Strong World program, the Program for Young Children organized a “Penny Collection” to raise money for school supplies for students in India. Abramovitz visited the PYC classrooms to show where India is on the map, showed them a rupee, and discussed what type of supplies the CSG girls thought she should purchase.

The girls made flyers with drawings to send home to the PYC families with information about the penny drive. The girls sorted and counted the money they received. The pennies and coins were converted into cash, which Abramovitz graciously and enthusiastically accepted.

Over spring break, Abramovitz made the trip to India and visited several schools. Using the money, she purchased school supplies and delivered them to a slum school where all they had was a broken chalkboard.

Upon her return, Abramovitz met with the entire PYC and showed the girls photos of a school that appeared similar to CSG where the students wore uniforms and had many resources. The girls were able to make connections in regard to the clothing, dining facilities and books. She then showed the school supplies she purchased and photos of the slum school that received the donations. The girls were touched when they were told that the teacher cried tears of joy.

The Form VIII students wrapped up their study of the Holocaust with a visit from John Koenigsberg, a child survivor of the Holocaust. Koenigsberg was born in Amsterdam, The Netherlands in 1937 and currently resides in Gahanna, Ohio.

Koenigsberg spoke extensively about how his parents tried to keep him safe during this terrible period in history, including the story of a fake appendectomy and how he eventually reunited with his family after the war. He also shared personal artifacts with the girls from his time in Holland.

In 2009, Koenigsberg returned to The Netherlands to participate in honoring the family who saved him with the Righteous Among the Nations Award. The award is the highest honor awarded to non-Jews who acted according to the noblest principles of humanity by risking their lives to help Jews during the Holocaust.

Author Andrea Cheng Helps Students Learn About Empathy

Significantly CSG

Author Andrea Cheng speaking to Form IV and Form V girls.

“ Empathy is something I have always had, but now it is stronger and I feel it more often.”

Parker Hirst ’21

Through reading and writing projects, author Andrea Cheng worked with the Form IV and Form V students last semester to teach empathy. The girls were asked to choose from a variety of topics and genres to articulate what empathy looks like in their own lives and apply these ideas to actual situations with peers in class, at recess, or on the athletic fields.

Students connected empathy with helping someone; how-ever, as the “Empathy Project” continued, the girls expanded their understanding to “walk in another’s shoes.” While girls often make judgments on someone’s physical appearance, clothing, socioeconomic status, etc., the project helped guide them to the point where they could understand that many people have other challenges and struggles that are not visible at school. Ultimately, each person wants to feel like people at school really care about them.

The girls learned to ask questions like “How do you think that person felt when. . .?” “What would make that person feel cared about in this situation?” and “When do you think you could show that person you are there for them?” The girls learned to think beyond the “me” and understand the “we.”

Form VI Studies Engineering Through Animal ProstheticsDuring fourth quarter, Form VI students completed an interdisciplinary project that began by watching the movie, “Dolphin Tale” and by seeing Winter, the dolphin protagonist in the movie, live via webcam at www.seewinter.com. The movie is based on the true story of an injured dolphin, named Winter, that is taken to a marine hospital, where a new prosthetic tail is developed, allowing Winter a second chance at life.

One of the tasks related to this project allowed the girls to learn basic geometry skills and design a simple dolphin tail using the computer program Geometers Sketchpad. The girls had the opportunity to Skype with Michael Carroll and have a live presentation from Nicholas Igel, both of Hanger, Inc., the orthotic and prosthetic company that engineered Winter’s tail. The girls got to hear first-hand about the design process for Winter’s tail from Carroll, see how the Komodo dragon at the Columbus Zoo has been aided with an orthotic by Igel, and watch as faculty member, Lynn Sweeney, had a 3-D image made of her face. This was a wonderful culminating activity exhibiting applications of engineering.

The PYC 4/5 class culminated a two-year mural project called “This Artful Journey of Color, Design, and Love” in late May. The project began when the girls were in the 3/4 class with three major interests: love of nature, delight in the large mural in the dining room titled “Maize” by Sarah Fairchild, and the complete redesign of the PYC playground.

As the girls began their CSG journey, their teachers introduced them to digital cameras to help them learn about their new community and environment. The classroom and playground became their first photography subjects and photography became an ongoing project of getting to know the spaces at CSG. It took the class to the dining room, where the children and teachers explored the artwork on both sides of the room. As the girls approached the mural titled “Maize” their energy and interest heightened.

In their art classes, the girls had been exploring the properties of paint through printing and painting a variety of black lines and shapes. Revisiting their designs, the girls filled the remaining white space with color, creating striking abstract paintings.

The girls spent a lot of time playing with ways to fit their works together, first by arranging the paper versions of their sketches on the floor, then using the overhead projector to play with different size relationships, fitting some designs within others and in some cases

LS Girls Create a Secret GardenIn the fall of 2013, the class of 2022, under the direction of Form IV teachers Tracy Kessler, Charlotte Stiverson, and Staci Schulte, took it upon themselves to reinvigorate a lesser known garden at CSG called the Children’s Garden. The Lower School girls have also nicknamed it “the Secret Garden” because it sits hidden, tucked away in the southwest corner of CSG’s Spirit Courtyard behind tall, older trees. Students also helped to revive another smaller garden space, the Peace Garden, which sits on the northeast corner of the Lower School playground.

Alumnae in the Arts


Jill Levy ’70 During the summer between her sophomore and junior year at the University of Arizona, Jill Levy ’70 participated in an apprenticeship at Otterbein Summer Theater. Little did she know that her life was going to change forever.

After spending three months immersed in the Otterbein Summer Theater program and working with Otterbein’s Dr. Frank Dodrel and Fred “Pop” Thayer, Levy went back to the University of Arizona and worked on every production she could get her hands on.

“I did everything, both behind and on stage. I loved working with lights and creating lighting effects, but did everything from acting to set painting. I even got to direct a production. College theater is an opportunity to play around with your knowledge and stretch yourself,” said Levy.

After graduating from the University of Arizona, Levy moved to southern California where she got involved with regional theater. She primarily worked on musical comedies like Promises, Promises and Once Upon a Mattress and eventually moved to Los Angeles, California where she took acting classes. It was at these acting classes that she met friend and fellow thespian, Arlene Goldbach, and her journey in stand-up comedy began.

The pair put on a duo performance and worked together for nearly three and a half years. They did a number of improv and comedy gigs including The Comedy Store and Improv in Los Angeles. During this time, Levy also worked as a lounge singer in small nightclubs throughout Los Angeles.

“I always knew I could sing. If the act went terribly bad, at least I could end with a song!” joked Levy.

Over the years, CSG has supported women in a variety of fields of study and many of our alumnae have gone on to do great things in their respective fields. In this edition of Forte et Gratum, we cast a spotlight on some of our notable alumnae in the arts. These talented ladies serve in very different roles and have enthralling stories of glitz, glamour, success, and even struggles as they made a place for themselves in the competitive field. From actresses in Hollywood to art curators here in Columbus, Ohio,

here are the stories of some of CSG’s most talented alumnae.

Jill Levy ’70


In 1982, Levy and a group of friends joined the Funny Boy Management Company, where she managed stand-up comedians, writers, and producers until 1990. Significant clients included Tannis Vallely who played Janice Lazzarotto in ABC’s “Head of the House”, Robert Morse, John Kassir, and Julianna Fjeld, Emmy-award winning producer of 1985’s “Love is Never Silent”.

Throughout her journey, Levy says that her time at CSG was very beneficial to her.

“The more you know, the better that you can write, the better that you can speak, the better that you can engage with other people. There is no doubt that CSG gave me that. My education was stellar,” said Levy.

In fact, a Form VII Greek and Roman Mythology class even helped Levy land a job. In 1990, she applied for a position as an assistant to Frazier Heston at Agamemnon Films, and knowing who Agamemnon was impressed Heston enough to give her the job. Levy went on to work at Agamemnon as an assistant and office manager from 1990-1994, participating in projects like Sherlock Holmes: The Crucifer of Blood starring Charlton Heston.

Levy has been an active member of the CSG community, serving as a community volunteer with Jubilee, on the Alumnae Board, and on the Board of Trustees.

For the last four years, Levy has been involved with Rwanda Women in Action, a non-profit that works with refugees who have been resettled here from Rwanda, Burundi and Congo, as a very active President of the Board of Trustees. Levy hopes to continue making a difference in the community, and still occasionally catches a local production with her husband, Steve Price, wistfully remembering her past in the glitz and glamour of Hollywood.

Julie Janata ’75 Julie Janata ’75 never dreamed that she would end up in Hollywood.

During Form XII at CSG, Janata was urged by her Form VIII English teacher, Jane Chamberlain, to join a group of first-time volunteers to create Public Access Cable TV at the Ohio State Fair.

On her very first day, Chamberlain involuntarily volunteered Janata to operate one of the enormous studio cameras without any experience. Impressed by her ability, the producers had her run camera that year and the next, which led to her first professional work as a camera operator.

“I wouldn’t be a filmmaker if it weren’t for Jane Chamberlain. She knew I was steeped in a love of story, novels, music, and photography. But more than that, she pushed me to try something completely new. She believed in me before I believed in myself,” said Janata.

After graduating from CSG, Janata attended the University of Michigan and double-majored in psychology and film, still sure she would need a stable career. However, when a summer internship after her junior year of college became a job as Assistant Promotion Director at Channel 6 in Columbus, Ohio, Janata resolved to go to Hollywood.

There, her journey began. Janata attended the American Film Institute as the only female Cinematography Fellow in her class. When the first two films she worked on in Hollywood were nominated for Academy Awards, her career took off. Janata was trained in editing and story by Oscar- and Emmy-winning filmmakers on productions around the world, working for Warner Brothers, Paramount, Universal, Fox, Sony and Disney, as well as ABC, CBS, ESPN and HBO.

“I am a story builder, molding picture and sound, music and movement, performances from actors and non-actors alike, into what I hope will be compelling stories that take the

Julie Janata ’75


audience on an emotional journey. Like the books I loved growing up, we get to walk in someone else’s shoes, to empathize with their heartbreak and their joy,” said Janata.

Janata is now an Emmy Award-winning producer, an editor and director of independent films that have won awards around the world. Two films, Getting To Know You and Bigger, Stronger, Faster* were nominated for the Grand Jury Prize at the Sundance Film Festival. Her films have been honored by the MacArthur Foundation, invited to the United Nations, U.S. Senate and Democratic National Convention, and toured the world with the U.S. State Department’s international American Film Showcase.

Five films she produced, edited, or both have sold to Showtime and three have sold to PBS.

Most recently, Janata wrote and edited Take Me to the River, winner of the Audience Award at South By South West (SXSW) in Austin, Texas. The film brings together legends of Memphis R&B and rap, including Snoop Dogg, Mavis Staples, Terrence Howard, the late Bobby “Blue” Bland, Bobby Rush, Charlie Musselwhite and Oscar-winner Frayser Boy. She is also one of the directors of the Go Public project that is playing on PBS and has been seen in 104 countries throughout the world.

Despite her success, Janata has not forgotten to give back to her community. She has volunteered to promote women’s voices and diversity in media by serving as President of Alliance of Women Directors. Currently, she co-chairs the Producers Guild of America’s Diversity Committee, where she trains and mentors female, LGBT, minority, and disabled producers in telling their stories and raising awareness for communities staggeringly underserved in film, television and new media.

Most of all, Janata is proud to have helped found CSG’s film class in collaboration with Upper School theater instructor, Janetta Davis.

“We need to give girls and women a voice in the world, and today that means being media savvy, equipped to tell a concise, compelling story no matter what field they choose. I’m so pleased our heads of school have so wholeheartedly supported this class, heading for its fourth year next spring,” said Janata.

Through her extensive experience from behind the camera through editing, producing and directing, Janata is now poised to direct her first feature film. To keep up-to-date about what she will do next, visit her website at www.juliejanata.com and find her on Facebook.

Rebecca McCabe Ibel ’84 Rebecca McCabe Ibel ’84 has been the director and curator of the Pizzuti Collection in downtown Columbus, Ohio for the past three years. Her responsibilities include organizing exhibitions exclusively from the private collection of Ron and Ann Pizzuti P ’89 and P ’94 and working closely with artists and art dealers throughout the United States and the world in support of these shows. This year alone, the Pizzuti Collection featured an exhibition that displayed the work of artists from Cuba, and in the fall, the Pizzuti Collection will be featuring a show called Nowism with abstract paintings by 51 different artists.

Prior to working with the Pizzuti Collection, Ibel owned her own art gallery in Columbus for 20 years. She graduated from the American University in Paris’s Art History program. Since college, Ibel has worked for Sotheby’s in New York City, New York, one of the world’s largest brokers of fine and decorative art, jewelry, real estate, and collectibles, and lived in Germany, working in various positions related to art and art conservation.

Ibel attended CSG for Form I and II, but nearly two decades later, when she returned to Columbus in 1993, she reconnected with some of her old classmates.

WE NEED TO GIVE GIRLS AND WOMEN A voice IN THE WORLD.


“My family and I left Columbus when I was eight but when I returned, CSG became a huge part of my community, both as an alumna and as a parent,” said Ibel. Her daughter, Sarah ’26, joined CSG’s Form I in August 2014 after having been a student with the PYC since she was one.

Ibel was also instrumental in the selection of the artwork on display in CSG’s newly renovated Ruch Dining Room, including the expansive mural on the far wall titled “Maize” by Sarah Fairchild.

“CSG is an extraordinary place and the opportunity to work on the art project in the Dining Hall was an extraordinary experience. I am hoping to work with CSG in the future to increase their art collection because it’s such an opportunity for the girls to be surrounded by real live art,” said Ibel.

Most recently, Ibel helped select the Kurt Lightner painting, “Cathedrals of Work Series #6” that is in the new Agnes Jeffrey Shedd Theater. As the school’s collection of art grows, Ibel hopes that it will serve as a platform to investigate and discuss contemporary art.

“As the school grows and changes, the art is just a small part that exemplifies our rich cultural experience and identity. Music and art enrich our lives, feed our souls and bring greater understanding to the world around us,” said Ibel.

Keely Ayres ’82When Keely Ayres ’82 graduated from CSG, she didn’t think that the 15-page term papers, experience as a self-proclaimed “theater geek” and encouragement to “keep reading” would lead her to a career in production management. It did, and she couldn’t be happier with the outcome.

Ayres went to The Ohio State University and graduated in 1986 with a Bachelor of Fine Arts, intending to pursue a career in modern dance. She danced with Ellen Rooney Dance Theater from 1987-1990 and Elise Long’s Spoke the Hub Dance Company in 1990, and was a company member with AfterImages Repertory Dance Theater for a year in Louisville, Kentucky.

After that, Ayres worked in New York City, New York as a theatrical electrician in off-Broadway productions and fashion shows and at the Papermill Playhouse in New Jersey, as a stage manager for the Martha Graham Dance Ensemble, and as an electrician for the Stagedoor Manor Summer Theater Camp. At CSG, her theater instructor, Edgar Fry, had encouraged Ayres to be creative with lighting and she gained a foundation for the skills that she later implemented into her everyday work.

“Mr. Fry provided an encouraging home and outlet, a place for kindred spirits to this theater-geek who didn’t always feel comfortable elsewhere. He supported me when I wanted to act on stage, and empowered me to be creative with lighting behind the scenes,” said Ayres.

In 1994, Ayres began traveling with the Third National Tour of Phantom of the Opera as an assistant electrician, hanging lights from the front of the house, operating the spotlight as needed, and ensuring the hair and wardrobe department had light and a power source for their tasks in the production. She did this for six years until she was offered a position as an assistant production manager at the Hopkins Center for the Arts at Dartmouth College in 2000.

Today, Ayres is a Senior Production Manager at Dartmouth College’s Hopkins Center for the Arts where she has spent the last 14 years working behind the scenes to present and sometimes produce events hosted at the Hop, as it is lovingly called. Over the years, she has overseen events like the 2007 MSNBC Democratic Debates, the 2011 Bloomberg Republican Debates, and the very successful 50th Anniversary Celebration of the Hopkins Center for the Arts in 2012.

Ayres credits her teachers at CSG for many important contributions to her life. Carol Clark, her art teacher, encouraged her visual creativity, helping her understand and appreciate art and taught her to look at it with an educated eye. Karen Kartsimas invited her to step out of her comfort zone when Ayres performed in the girls’ choir ensemble. Carol Visscher was her Senior May Program advisor, and Ayres described her as “supportive, creative, and encouraging”. Ayres’ work with the BalletMet during her Senior May Program opened the doors for her to work as an assistant stage manager and assistant electrician at the Ohio Theater. Ayres was also influenced by her chemistry and physics instructor Dr. Daniel Hall, her gymnastics instructor Karol Warden, her photography instructor Teresa Oreweiler, and her Summer Shakespeare Session instructor Dorothy Sehring.

“CSG has helped me all along the way to be unafraid, to be independent, think for myself, desire to achieve, have faith that I could do whatever I set my mind to and most invaluably, my CSG education taught me how to research well and present findings in a professional, thorough manner,” said Ayres.

Currently, Ayres is working on a number of upcoming projects for the 2014-15 year at Dartmouth, including a program with Kyle Abraham, and an Iliad starring Denis O’Hare. In the near future, she will be starting a syllabus for a portion of a new internship program that will feature experience with the events management, production management, and facilities offices for one senior.

Spoken like a true CSG Unicorn, Ayres said this about her vision for the distant future:

“My vision moving forward is to continue to endeavor to make our workplace environment positive, productive and welcoming and allow for creativity and difference while achieving a high level of professionalism and top-notch presentation.”

Katie Taub ’94As a little girl, Katie Taub ’94 would put on her Annie wig and climb onto the coffee table to sing, dance, and perform monologues and sketches for her family with dreams of Hollywood in her big, blue eyes. From the moment she began performing, Taub fell in love and when she came to CSG, she made a beeline for the theater department.

Too young to participate in any major productions, Taub patiently waited until Middle School, and participated in musicals like Annie and Peter Pan. When she got to Upper School, she worked hard with her acting teacher Nancy Montgomery, reading through scripts and learning to connect with the characters she wanted to portray. In Form IX, she was asked to be the understudy for Anenelle, one of the lead characters in the play Steel Magnolias, but she had to forgo the opportunity because of vacation plans. Later on, the understudy who did accept the role went on to play the part.

A confident CSG girl and propelled by the urging of her theater teacher, Taub persisted and auditioned for plays at both CSG and St. Charles Preparatory School, playing various roles throughout her time, all culminating in the lead role of Mrs. Gibbs in Our Town during her senior year at CSG.

When she started applying to college, Taub made a point to find a place with a strong theater program, and chose Tulane University in New Orleans, Louisiana. However, when she started college, she realized that the reputation of the theatre and dance program lay more in the dance department and wondered if she should have accepted her second choice offer in the theatre program at the University of Southern California.

Following the draw towards southern California and Hollywood, Taub decided to broaden her horizons by learning more about the film industry.

CSG HAS HELPED ME ALL ALONG THE WAY TO BE unafraid. . .

Katie Taub ’94


“For two summers, I moved to Los Angeles, [California] and took the Film and TV Internship course at UCLA. I had the confidence to take such a leap of faith because of the confidence that CSG instilled in me from my very first day. I got to work as an intern for production companies, and that experience made me realize that I definitely wanted to be in front of the camera,” said Taub.

During her senior year at Tulane, Taub dedicated her time to auditions and got to play the lead in a one-act play.

“I knew I was doing what I loved. I wanted to be acting, and I felt so confident about my passion. So many people had no idea what they were doing after college, but I knew exactly what I wanted to do: move to Los Angeles and become an actress,” said Taub.

For the past 15 years, Taub has lived and worked in Los Angeles, but the journey has been anything but smooth.

“I took multiple acting lessons, and the first year was probably the toughest. I went from classes to waitressing to auditions to rehearsals day after day and I finally had to take a step back and recognize that I was a human being first and an actress second and I had to have interests outside of just my career,” said Taub.

Taub worked on a few minor projects including voiceover gigs and a couple of roles in independent films, including the female lead in a full-length feature called Joe Dick. Still, Taub did not find the success that she craved. To keep herself going, she started a small self-managed bookkeeping business on the side. Her time in Los Angeles began to weigh heavily on her and she began to feel uninspired.

“I moved to Hollywood knowing I wanted to be an actress but after years of struggling I began to lose sight of the belief that I could actually do it,” said Taub.

Then, in 2011 tragedy struck. Taub’s father, Peter Taub, passed away after a long battle with cancer. The passing of her father was difficult for her, and she took a step away from acting for about two years.

During that time, Taub did a lot of self-development that involved being coached in self-growth and working on reclaiming her belief in herself.

“I remember as a kid at CSG I was taught that I could do anything I set my mind to. I was like the little engine that could. Women can rule the world, and I think I had forgotten that through my struggles and challenges. The coaching helped me reconnect with that,” said Taub.

Recalling one of her final conversations with her father, Taub pursued a lead for narrating an audiobook voiceover and landed the job without an audition. After that, she decided to focus on doing commercial work to gradually transition back into acting, and in February 2014, she auditioned for a national Dunkin’ Donuts Coffee Creamer commercial. The character that the company was looking for was a mother who could water-ski, and interestingly enough, Taub grew up water-skiing with her father.

“Things started looking up as soon as I shifted my mindset, remembering that this is what I am meant to be doing. Through all of it, I felt like my dad was right there with me. It all felt so right,” said Taub.

She was not the only one who felt it was right. Soon, Taub was offered the Dunkin’ Donuts commercial and had a lot of fun shooting it.

For now, Taub is moving forward, one step at a time, and is very excited for the bright, new chapter ahead of her. Through her triumphs and trials, Taub has been the resilient CSG girl she was taught to be, and continues to persist.

I HAD THE CONFIDENCE TO TAKE SUCH A LEAP OF FAITH BECAUSE OF THE

confidence THAT CSG INSTILLED IN ME FROM MY VERY FIRST DAY.


Elizabeth “Liz” Wheeler ’00 Elizabeth “Liz” Wheeler ’00 joined the CSG community as a student in Form IX. After that, she never ventured too far from home.

“Because of CSG’s rigorous academics and because of how well they prepared me for college, my college years were so much easier than I anticipated. I was able to focus on my core classes because general education courses were so easy. I felt prepared,” said Wheeler.

Wheeler was an active member of the theater department at CSG from her first day. During her time here, she played Kafka in CSG’s production of All in the Timing and took all of CSG’s acting classes. She credits Mara Silverberg and Janetta Davis for being great mentors to her during her Upper School years.

“At CSG, my acting teachers really pushed me. They didn’t just let me play; I was encouraged to think through the acting and apply my academics to theater,” said Wheeler.

After graduating from CSG in 2000, Wheeler attended Wright State University in Dayton, Ohio where she majored in acting with an emphasis on musical theater. At the time, Wright State’s acting program was among the top 10 in the country.

“While I was at Wright State, I realized that my experience at CSG really helped me learn how to interact with people socially, specifically with people from all walks of life. I could hold a conversation with someone regardless of their economic background,” said Wheeler.

Because of the competitive nature of the program, Wright State implemented a “cut system”, wherein students who did not meet the standards of the department were cut every year. Wheeler’s class started with 32 candidates and she was one of the remaining 10 at the end of her time at the University.

After graduating from Wright State in 2014, Wheeler spent a summer in Boston, Massachusetts performing Shakespearean plays with the Commonwealth Shakespeare Company. Notably, she played the role of Helena in A Midsummer Night’s Dream and Witch 1 in Macbeth.

Following that, Wheeler returned to Columbus, Ohio and became involved with the local acting scene. She started working professionally with The Actors’ Theater in roles like Rosalind in As You Like It, Barbara Allen in Dark of the Moon, and Olivia in Twelfth Night in Schiller Park. She also worked with The Human Race Company and Cincinnati Playhouse in the Park, taking on roles like Fermia in Human Race’s production of Man of La Mancha.

Eventually, she began working with Contemporary American Theater Company (CATCO) and loves the work she gets to do with them today. Along with instructing students on acting and dancing, Wheeler has the opportunity to perform in CATCO’s production of Dirty Rotten Scoundrels and occasionally direct shows like Go Dog Go.

Wheeler also runs her own studio where she gives private lessons in singing and acting.

In January 2013, Wheeler joined the faculty at CSG as the Middle School Theater Instructor. During her time here she has worked with her mentor, Janetta Davis, on productions like Honk Jr., Reach for the Stars, and School House Rock Live, Jr.

“As an instructor, I can push CSG girls because they want to work hard and they want to succeed. I am able to teach them more because they are like little sponges, soaking up everything that I can give them. It’s especially rewarding to work with the girls who are shy and see them break out of their shells, reciting Shakespeare and performing monologues. They’re growing in confidence and not just learning about the subject,” said Wheeler.

In the future, Wheeler hopes to continue working with CSG and CATCO, and is looking forward to getting married this fall and eventually starting a family.

Aileen Targett ’05When Aileen Targett ’05 joined CSG in Form IV, she was ready for a change.

Teased at her last school for singing in the hallways and being a young academic, Targett found CSG to be a welcome adjustment. She took strength from CSG’s motto, “Forte et Gratum”, and held her head high as she navigated the often confusing roads of Lower and Middle School. In Upper School, she met theater teacher, Janetta Davis, and things would never be the same.

“Ms. Davis was and is the most influential person I have ever met in my life. She not only taught me the ins and outs of theater, but also how to be a woman. She is the epitome of a strong CSG woman: passionate, independent, empathetic, and fierce about her convictions. In her, I saw the artistic woman I wanted to try and be,” said Targett.

In the fall of 2005, Targett joined the very competitive Bachelor of Fine Arts program at West Virginia University. The program’s structure featured a rigorous curriculum that made a very large cut at the end of sophomore year. Targett was among the only eight to 10 students that were allowed to complete the program.

During the summer between her sophomore and junior year, Targett participated in her first regional summer stock show in Palo Duro Canyon, Texas. This form of theater features productions that are only done in the summer and uses “stock” costumes and sets. Targett was cast in the outdoor show Texas: The Musical where she learned to dance, deal with tornado warnings, rattlesnakes and tarantulas, and most importantly, to be fearless.

“The most important thing I took away from that summer was to try everything, even if I was scared. I am a naturally timid person and am scared of everything from heights to the dark. When I was approached with the opportunity to learn a stunt by being set on fire, my first reaction was to run screaming all the way back to my bed in Pickerington, Ohio. After some thought, I came to a conclusion that dictated how I chose to continue on with my life: If you are scared of everything, you may as well try anything,” said Targett.

In 2010, Targett took on her next big adventure: up-state New York’s summer stock theater. Moving to New York City, New York with no idea on how things would pan out, Targett met comedic genius and improv master Gary Izzo and began working with his fair, The Sterling Renaissance Festival.

During her time at the festival, Targett joined a group called By The Mummers and began writing Blood. The work was a dark comedy musical that combined Twilight, MacBeth and Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and was accepted in The New York Musical Festival (NYMF). It was performed on an off-Broadway theater in Times Square until the end of the NYMF season.

Following that, Targett landed a national tour with Chamber Theater, where she was cast as Sarah in the play Eureka.

“I was paid to tour around the United States and do theater. It was a dream job, if not terribly tiring. A new hotel every night, driving long hours, and putting up sets is no easy task,” described Targett.

Targett met now beau Trenton Weaver during her third tour and they both made the decision to move back home to Ohio in 2013. Currently, Targett is working on completing her teaching license in intervention and theater. She also teaches public speaking to CSG’s incoming Form X girls during the summer.

“It is very odd roaming the familiar halls without my plaid skirt. I keep waiting for someone to tell me to tuck in my shirt. I have loved getting to know the incoming Form X class. They are intelligent, well spoken and encapsulate ’Forte et Gratum’. CSG is such a marvelous

IF YOU ARE SCARED OF EVERYTHING, YOU MAY AS WELL TRY

anything.

Aileen Targett ’05


jumping block for strong women and I feel so proud and fortunate to be teaching here this summer,” said Targett.

Targett’s journey, however, has not been without hurdles and rejection has been commonplace for her throughout her experiences thus far.

“Theater is an unforgiving love. Theater forces those, entangled by her siren’s song, to view themselves under the cold, harsh light of reality. After many rejections, you learn that one audition does not define who a person is. One ‘no’ does not mean I am talentless. One ‘no’, instead, means that I should keep pushing, keep trying. Then, one day you walk in a room and get a ‘yes’ and that one ‘yes’, that single affirmation, wipes away all the ‘no’s’ until they are as memorable as foggy breath on a cold window pane. Theater is a roller coaster,” said Targett.

Moving forward, Targett hopes to teach theater and work with children who are dealing with emotional issues. She also hopes to get involved with theater in Columbus and is looking forward to what the future has in store for her.

Yael Zinkow ’08 Yael Zinkow ’08 caught the theater bug as soon as she became an Upper School student at CSG.

“I did every show, every year of my Upper School career. Janetta Davis is a huge part of why I wanted to do theater. She was a great teacher and a great director,” said Zinkow.

During her time at CSG, Zinkow performed in dramas, comedies, and musicals, but it wasn’t just the theatrical experiences that kept her involved.

“I looked forward to those three hours after school every day. Even during my junior year, which was my hardest, I kept coming back. The best part was the amount of support I got from the rest of the school community. I had friends who played sports and were involved in other clubs that still came out to support me when I performed,” said Zinkow.

Zinkow went to Yale University after she graduated from CSG and was immediately drawn to its theater program. She began auditioning for shows during her sophomore year of college, and honed in on comedy. Zinkow recalled that she was always cast in comedic roles at CSG and, learning that she had an aptitude for comedy, began auditioning for those roles.

As junior year of college came around, Zinkow got involved with the campus standup comedy club. Initially, she remembers being apprehensive about joining, but once she started, she could not be stopped.

“I tried it once, and I was hooked! I loved the format of standup comedy, specifically because it allowed me to write and perform, two things that I love doing,” said Zinkow.

Zinkow remained a member of the club for both her junior and senior year, participating in and winning “Yale’s Last Comic Standing” both years. By senior year, Zinkow started to think about how she could make comedy a career and turned her attention to TV writing.

“I had never really considered that there was a room full of people writing every show on television,” said Zinkow.

Drawn by the collaborative effort that could fuse both of her passions into a career, Zinkow traveled to Los Angeles, California in August 2012. While searching for a job, she started doing standup comedy throughout Los Angeles at small shows and even joined a sketch comedy group called Pimm’s Girl.

In March 2013, Zinkow was hired as a writer’s production assistant (PA) on NBC’s comedy “Up All Night” starring Will Arnett and Christina Applegate.

I DID EVERY SHOW, EVERY YEAR OF MY UPPER SCHOOL career.

Yael Zinkow ’08


“Being a PA is probably the lowest wrung on the writing ladder. I had to handle menial tasks like grabbing coffee and running errands. All of it was worth it, though, because I got to step inside the writer’s room. I was blown away by the energy and collaboration I saw. That experience definitely validated my decision to move to Los Angeles and pursue this career,” said Zinkow.

After “Up All Night” was cancelled, Zinkow began to look for a new position and landed a spot as a writer’s assistant on Fox’s crime comedy-drama “Bones” starring Emily Deschanel and David Boreanaz in the fall of 2013. Her new position is a step up from the work she did at “Up All Night”, taking notes and doing research for the writers.

In the future, Zinkow hopes to land a position as a full-time staff writer for a comedy show. In the meantime, she continues to perform, doing standup, sketch, and improv throughout Los Angeles.

Piper Rasmussen ’12In 2011, Piper Rasmussen ’12 wrote her first play. It was 10 minutes long, and was about two young people finding their futures in a cornfield. Little did she know, it would go on to be selected for the Young Writers’ Short Play Festival at Madlab Theater and Gallery in downtown Columbus, Ohio offering her a new path for her life.

Rasmussen came to CSG in Form IX in 2008, where she quickly found a home in The Shedd Theater and the Upper School Theater department.

“I learned how to use bodies and objects to write stories in the air. My theater instructor, Janetta Davis, combined high expectations with a thoughtful curriculum, strong extracurricular play choices, and a dedication to developing young talent that has directed a flock of young CSG graduates to pursue theatre in college,” said Rasmussen.

In the summer before her senior year, Rasmussen began writing her first play, The Many-Splendored Thing. Rasmussen submitted her work to the Young Writers’ Short Play Festival and with the help of Janetta Davis and the other members of her advanced theater class, in addition to the Madlab Theatre and Gallery team, the script was revised and perfected. Its first performance received rave reviews, including the comment that her work was “subtly written” and that The Many-Splendored Thing was “a spooky metaphor for the rite of passage from childhood to adulthood.”

This triggered the idea to pursue playwriting. When Rasmussen joined the Theater Program at Barnard College of Columbia University in fall 2012, one of the first classes she took was a playwriting class with playwright Sylvan Oswald. During this course, she wrote her first full-length work, Rumplestiltskin, completing it before she turned 18.

“It’s since been revised and revamped into an entirely different, and better, piece of writing, thanks to the wonderful team assembled by Young Playwrights Inc. in New York, New York and their National Playwriting Contest, including dramaturge and playwright Daniel Pearle and director Portia Krieger. Young Playwrights has offered me an excellent publishing arrangement, which I’ve accepted,” said Rasmussen.

Acting editions of Rasmussen’s Rumplestiltskin will be available in July 2015. Since her freshman year at Columbia, Rasmussen has written a few short comedies for Columbia student theatre groups and a short political play for Planet Connections Theatre Festivity’s 24-hour eco-friendly play festival.

“Seeing my work on stage, performed by excellent actors for an audience, feels like hydroplaning. It’s terrifying, exhilarating, baffling, and sometimes so scary that I need to

Piper Rasmussen ’12


pull over and regain sensation in my feet. I’ve had the honor of being in the audience for my own work three times, and I hope many more opportunities will present themselves in the years to come,” said Rasmussen.

Currently, she is working on a one-act musical play set in a church, tentatively titled The 61st Coming.

“I like the idea of mixing up Christian and theatrical spaces – what qualifies an audience to be an audience, and a congregation to be a congregation? In what ways are they the same thing, and what do they expect when they enter their respective holy places? And how can I turn that expectation around?” said Rasmussen about her approach to this piece.

Rasmussen will be working with a graduate student mentor from Columbia’s School of the Arts to prepare her script for a staged reading this November.

While her plans for the future continue to form, Rasmussen says two things remain constant.

“I am sure that I love theatre, because it is the study of creative empathy, and I am sure that there is a need for that creative empathy outside of the $50-ticket-to-see-it-on-Broadway framework. That leads me to a variety of different visions for my future within the performing arts: arts administration for a theatre company that develops and/or produces obscure new stories, drama therapy, theatre for social justice, higher-level education in performance studies, and youth theatre education all spin by in rapid succession. The range of opportunities is exciting and sometimes intimidating. Regardless, I hope to keep spinning stories for a long time.”

SEEING MY WORK ON STAGE, PERFORMED BY EXCELLENT ACTORS FOR AN AUDIENCE, FEELS LIKE HYDROPLANING. IT’S TERRIFYING,

exhilarating, BAFFLING, AND SOMETIMES SO SCARY THAT I NEED TO PULL OVER AND REGAIN SENSATION IN MY FEET.

The brand new Agnes Jeffrey Shedd Theater is up and running! As part of CSG’s Landmark Campaign, the building features a contemporary design, complete with large glass windows, a limestone exterior, fashionable furniture in the lobby and 390 luxurious seats. This theater, however, is not just all beauty; it also has a lot of brains.

Jay Panzer, a cultural facility planning consultant who has helped plan nearly 250 arts facilities around the country, joined the design and construction team led by Design Group and Corna-Kokosing to enhance the theater and make it as potent of a facility as possible.

“This particular theater is different from others that I’ve worked on because it is specifically designed to be a place not

only to see theater and music, but also to see how it’s made. That has been a driving force for the layout and technology in this facility,” said Panzer.

The new theater will serve both a theatrical and musical purpose. Though these two types of programs are difficult

to combine in one facility, letting the form follow the function was key in achieving success in both. The acoustic needs of a theatrical production are very different from those of a musical performance; the Agnes Jeffrey Shedd Theater puts those differences on display, rather than concealing and minimizing them.

With the help of the team at Acoustic Dimensions, the same acoustic consultants that worked on the Peabody Conservatory in Baltimore, Maryland and the Southern Theatre here in Columbus, Ohio, the new theater is equipped with a series of reversible panels and acoustic drapes that can be customized for different types of productions. For musical performances, on-stage orchestra shell towers and ceilings can be set in various configurations, depending on the type of ensemble. For theatrical events, the proscenium opening itself can be adjusted for a more intimate stage setting.

“The theater is unique in this part of Ohio in its design. It is a very structured proscenium theater but also exposes the makings of theater, which is very rare. With the Agnes Jeffrey Shedd Theater this was done very intentionally,” said Panzer.

Along with state-of-the-art acoustics, the entire stage is equipped with two types of rigging technologies: counter-weight and motorized. Counter-weight stage rigging is ubiquitous throughout the world and is particularly important for students who intend to work in theater on the collegiate


and professional level. Motorized stage rigging is included in the design principally to reduce time and effort used in moving some of the larger equipment like the orchestra shell towers and the on-stage light pipes. This allows for the stage to transition from one type of performance to the next swiftly, safely and efficiently.

The electronic capabilities of the theater feature high-definition video projection, multiple loudspeaker clusters, wired and wireless microphones, and a variety of additional equipment that allows for maximum functionality and flexibility. Acoustic Dimensions’ David Robb, one of the world’s leading audio-visual system designers, planned the systems for the new theater. The audio-visual features can be controlled from the control room, backstage, or from a touch-screen console integrated into the lectern. This includes the projector and projection screen, house lights, stage lights, playback volume, and wireless microphone volume.

With all of the technology available in the theater, a specific effort was made to conserve energy use. The entire theater, including both architectural and theatrical fixtures, utilizes computer controlled LED sources. This provides a tremendous amount of functionality while cutting about 80% of the theater’s lighting energy load and significantly reducing the air-conditioning load. In total, almost 200 LED fixtures are in use in the new theater.

“This theater is one of the first all-LED theaters in Ohio, and CSG’s Agnes Jeffrey Shedd Theater is one of the earliest adopters of all-LED technology in the country,” said Panzer.

Recently, Middle School Grandparents’ and Special Friends’ Day and portions of Alumnae Weekend were held in the new Agnes Jeffrey Shedd Theater. During both events, students gave samplings of the work they did that year using PowerPoint presentations, speeches, musical performances and theatrical previews.

In the future, there will be plenty of opportunities to see the new theater in action. Be sure to visit the website for upcoming events in the brand-new, state-of-the-art Agnes Jeffrey Shedd Theater.

In the meantime, the Landmark “Take A Seat” Campaign is still in full swing! If you would like to purchase an individual or class seat, contact Karlene Yamamoto in the Development Office for more information, or visit www.columbusschoolforgirls.org/giving/take-a-seat-campaign.

“I’ve learned that you should not go through life with a catcher’s mitt on both hands; you need to be able to throw something back.” —Maya Angelou

These words were quoted at CSG’s 2014 Leaders Launch held on May 31, 2014 at Kirk Campus. This celebration, held just three days after the passing of the legend — Maya Angelou, a celebrated African-American author, poet, dancer, actress, and singer — was birthed three years ago to reconnect with some of CSG’s leaders who have been magnificent in pioneering the advancement of African-American women.

During the 2014 Leaders Launch, four CSG alumnae accepted the call to “throw something back” from their life journeys to the 2014 African-American graduating seniors, their parents, grandparents, and CSG African-American alumnae representing over 40 years of creating beautiful impressions of their own footprints. Among the alumnae in attendance was Denise Page Hood ’70, CSG’s first African-American graduate, who drove from Detroit, Michigan to attend the Launch. Leslie Sawyer ’71, CSG’s second African-American graduate, was also in attendance.

During the 2014 Launch, the alumnae shared with the senior honorees limitless possibilities to utilize as they embark upon their paths of education, exploration and excellence. Brittany Westbrook ’98, encouraged the graduates to take a “selfie” from

time to time, the kind that will allow them to examine their self-image to ensure that what they see continues to emanate “Forte et Gratum” throughout their career, financial and life choices. Secondly, Kay Bell Mason ’77 talked about the importance of not giving up on your passion and dreams. She also shared the importance of finding opportunities to give back and honor those who have planted seeds of possibilities in each of us. Chelsea Mondesir ’10 shared a beautiful message in song during her second year as soloist singing “For Good” from the Broadway production Wicked. Finally, Paula-Penn Nabrit ’72 participating in her third Leaders Launch, and shared a timeless message to the honorees indicating that no matter the path and choices we each make in life, “whereever we choose to enter, the whole race enters with us.”

The Leaders Launch ended with a fitting tribute to CSG’s retiring Head of School, Liza Lee, for her love and support over the years in promoting diversity and inclusion at CSG. As we welcome Jennifer Ciccarelli, CSG’s new Head of School, she too is equally excited to pick up the reigns and work to ensure that the Leaders Launch continues as an annual graduation tradition for African-American seniors. As Maya Angelou said it best, “Love recognizes no barriers. It jumps hurdles, leaps fences, penetrates walls to arrive at its destination full of hope.” At the end of the 2014 Leaders Launch, there were lots of conversations, hugs and laughter as the program concluded with pictures and sentiments of celebration because, through the love and sharing at this Launch, we each arrived at a new destination full of hope.

The essence of The Alumna of the Year Award is to spotlight a woman who stands out from others for her contribution in her chosen career or community life. Other than the fact that this woman attended Columbus School for Girls and thinks well of CSG, she need not be a contributor nor super active volunteer for the school. She needs to be a woman that CSG is proud to claim, but the award is meant to recognize the very high level of her adult accomplishments. If you would like to nominate a classmate for this award, please send a detailed resume to [email protected] or Jordan Hilbrands ’07, Alumnae Relations, 56 S. Columbia Avenue, Columbus, Ohio 43209.

A happy hello to my classmates!”

Helen Bliss Sheehan wrote a lovely letter to the school in 2014. She said, “In my ‘golden years’, hardly a day goes past that I don’t think about CSG. In 1934, I was one of the youngest girls that lived in the Lodge. The routine was strict, when the bell sounded at 7 a.m., you jumped out of bed and your daily routine was started. I know schools are different today, but I want to let you know how much I appreciate my school years at CSG.”

‘Stonemobile’ took off for California for the winter. There, I saw Carol Treffinger, spent a week in Costa Rica with family, and another week in Mexico with a friend. Overnights with Sudie Durstine Schumacher and Helen van Hook Spencer enriched my homeward journey. Lucky me to see four CSG classmates in six months, to travel over so much of our beautiful land, and to visit two other countries! If only Jerry had been with me.”

though. I walk with a cane, as the result of two broken femur bones in the last three years, and it is getting harder to travel. How are you faring, girls? I’d love to hear from you. Make sure to look at the ‘gone but not forgotten’ photo of our class from a past reunion.”

Betsy Blocker Kidwell was delighted to see the photo of her class, front and center, on the May edition of the online Alumnae Newsletter. She still remembers everyone’s names! It was such a journey down memory lane!

Sara Brackman Chandler writes “This has been a busy and sad year. Husband, George N. Chandler, died December 28, 2013. We

had six children and nine grandchildren in our combined family. We had a service in Vero Beach, Florida, at the Riomar Country Club, and in January, we had one at Kirtland Country Club in Cleveland, Ohio, for his many friends to celebrate his wonderful love of life.”

In the fall of 2013, Barbara Wagstaff Lowry’s bad knee necessitated spending her birthday in surgery. Since then, she has had several more surgeries, totaling 10 operations, on that knee! Physical therapy and riding an exercise bike daily are getting her back in shape. No more falls, Barb!

Sally Lane Crabtree gave a performance art presentation this winter involving her paintings and special music. She also organized another Christmas sale for the art center in Haiti where she and Doug have volunteered in the past.

Barbara Ratner is “simply enjoying retirement. Trying to do just what I want, when I want.” She travels as often as possible between her home in the Washington D.C. area to Portland, Oregon to visit family.

Your class secretary, Sue Brubaker Allen, continues to enjoy traveling. She writes, “In May 2013, I spent two weeks with my oldest son, an avid sailor, and his wife on the beautiful three masted Sea Cloud, sailing among the Greek islands. In contrast, in February, I flew to Cuzco, Peru with my middle son and his wife. We enjoyed the cool Andes mountain weather before heading down to the Amazon River for eight days, exploring back channels and small villages. This June, I traveled again with Andrew to Calke Abbey in the United Kingdom Midlands. When at home, which really is most of the time, I enjoy working on a volunteer committee for United Way, assessing the social service organizations that request their grants. I’m once again reading scholarship applications of foreign students, this time from very needy families in developing countries and as a Board Member of our local One World Library, I take part in bringing interesting multi-cultural programs to our rural Vermont community. Then there is gardening—which I love! Our local senior citizens are coming for Tea and Poetry in my garden just before I head for England.”

With great sadness, we report that Judy Sellers Irelan passed away on February 9, 2014 in Longboat Key, Florida.

Connie Aldrich Bodiker writes “It was so fun for me to be in conversation with so many of you, gathering information about you and your families. I have included interesting tidbits from some of you who were unable to come to Columbus, Ohio for our reunion.

“Since our 55th reunion, Ann Allison Johnson moved to Maryland to be near her children and loves her community of houses/row houses for people 62 and older. Her busy life is full of trips to the library, bridge playing, lunches and dinners with people in her community, and house- or dog-sitting for her daughter.

“Unfortunately, the plan for Gloria Grimes Creviston to return from Florida was scheduled for late May, making it too difficult for her to be in Columbus, Ohio in April for our 60th reunion. Next time!

wonderful. In a few short minutes, she tried to fill me in on what has happened over the past 60 years. Although she sounded good, sadly, I have to report that her son died last fall. We all send her our love and sympathy to her during these difficult days. Several of her children live near her, and she is in touch with them. Although Nancy seriously considered coming to Columbus, Ohio for the reunion, she was not able, and is looking forward to seeing everyone at our “mini reunion” in Florida.

“Nancy Russof Scovner sent a postcard regretting her conflict with the reunion dates, but she sent her best to each of us.

“Unfortunately, Mary Lou Wead Quillin’s husband, Bob Quillin, had a really bad case of the flu, which made it impossible for them to travel to Columbus, Ohio for the reunion. He was on the mend, but traveling was not an option. We look forward to being with them in the future.

“Susie Ziskind Portman lives in Israel, misses all of us, and was unable to make the trip to the United States, but sends her love.

“On Annabet Rector Delong’s return drive from Florida to Ohio, to the Cape, she stopped in Tennessee to visit Susannah Slade Pierce. Susie is doing well, but suffers from arthritis. She too, looks forward to our January “mini reunion” in Florida.

“Since our reunion, eight of us gathered in Circleville, Ohio to have lunch with Margaret Weldon Brown and are hopeful that we will gather for lunch before returning to Florida for the winter months.

She was laid up for weeks with a broken leg, back now and well on the way to recovery. Jane Peters Ward is birding and traveling like mad, as I write, she and Dick are in Michigan with Tucker Ayers Harris and Jack. Unfortunately, they will miss Esther Webster Summers who is in Montana visiting her daughter Sarah. Ann Blake Parsons wins my award for the most use of Facebook. She and Tom are also in the North Woods for the summer. Sylvia English Haller has been visiting her girls in Montana, and her boys in Arizona to say nothing about her little granddaughter, English Haller…isn’t that a cute name. I almost won a prize—story of my life—In March, Alan and I gained a greatgrandson, Isaac Weiler Fox…love it!, but Sally Schwarzell Luebbe beat me to it…she has several, I’ve lost count. Sally told me she is not able to go out much, she took a really bad fall and she has balance problems as well as loss of vision. Jim has been taking good care of her. June Loving has moved once more, her email address is [email protected].

“That’s about it for now, I’m warning you, send me some updates or you will hear more about Isaac than you ever wanted.”

Sarah Jane Stoneman Scuri ’55’s husband, Eli Scuri, passed away in June 2014. Eli was Cathy Jones Williard ’83’s step-father as well. Sarah Jane’s address is 7849 Jug St. Alexandria, OH 43001

1956Andrea Smith Lorig [email protected]

Andrea Smith Lorig writes, “Sue Andreae Brown and I, armed with an assortment of husbands, joined forces with New Zealand friends for an invasion of Turkey late April. It was a marvelous adventure in loading up on oriental rugs, purchasing ‘evil eyes’ by the gross, scrambling over ancient ruins, exploring the coast by boat and eating ourselves silly. We’ll cook up another sortie for next year. Meanwhile, we rendezvoused in northern Michigan in August. The mosquitoes are lined up in anticipation.”

Barbara Boothby Thun writes, “It has been a fast paced year, but a good one. Belize coast in January for snorkeling and diving – COLD! Also, on our second day I fell getting off the snorkeling boat on my tailbone – yikes, not able to walk – just hobble in great pain for the rest of the trip. However, nothing broken and with good physical therapy I am back to normal. In April, a much better experience – in Boulder, Colorado for the World Affairs

Conference – four days of panel discussions and every one of them terrific. I also got to visit with my brother, Bill who lives there. I continue to do studio work every day we are in town which will be sporadic this summer – back and forth to our Marion, Massachusetts house. However, I have a solo show of my work in September at The Hill School so I anticipate a lot of time working in August. My last exhibit was an installation on World War I – timely as I am also writing a paper on World War I for a group I belong to – life is NEVER dull! If you want to check out my work please go to my website – www.BarbaraThun.com or to see all the work done in the past five years go to www.soulimagery.zenfolio.com/barbarathun – my photographer’s website.”

Barbara Babcock Claypool writes, “On July 2 and 3, there were two severe storms in the Jeffersonville – Youngsville area of New York. We had major flooding. There is a brook across the street from me, and it became a major river. On Thursday morning, I awoke to being in a house that was an island surrounded by swiftly rushing water two to three feet deep. There was no way out, and no place to go, as all of the area was flooded, with swift running water full of debris. The house I am in is on a slight rise of land, about six inches above the surrounding homes, and this was enough to keep this house dry. My daughter, Andrea’s property was severely damaged, as a 100- foot-high hillside on a brook behind their house collapsed, bringing down the entire hillside with many trees. Thank the Lord my home and I are fine. Are we in the days of Noah? Thinking of my friends.”

Joanna Walz Foster has had lots of visits so far in 2014. In March, she and husband, Jerry, flew to Phoenix, Arizona to be with their son, Scott Montgomery and family. They saw their first grandchild, Haley Montgomery, graduate from high school in May. Son, Brad Foster, and his family visited them in San Antonio, Texas in April. They spent May-August in Ashland, Ohio where daughter, Sheila Foster Carder ’84, who lives with her family. They will be back in Columbus, Ohio in October for Jerry’s 50th reunion for OSU Medical School.

Judith Yenkin Brachman writes, “Merom and I were in San Antonio, Texas in March, and spent a delightful evening with Joanna Walz Foster and her husband Jerry. We went to a great restaurant away from the tourist areas, thanks to the Fosters’ guidance, and caught up on our families, grandchildren as well as current issues of mutual interest. For those ’56ers thinking about visiting San Antonio, Joanna has excellent suggestions about touring some of the lesser known historic places beyond the Alamo. It was wonderful to see both of them, and we hope to have another visit sometime soon.”

It is with great sadness that we report of the death of Patsy Soderstrom Shellie on June 28, 2014 in Columbus, Ohio. Patsy’s daughter, Karen, writes, “She loved CSG and was so proud to have graduated from there. Her mom, Claribel Leukart Soderstrom, a widow, worked hard so she could attend. After contracting polio, she [Patsy] spent her junior year in the hospital and was told she would never walk again. Well, she beat the odds, and when she graduated from CSG in 1956, it was written in the newspapers that she was walking with ‘human crutches’—her dear friends.”

1957Linda Gerstenfeld Cheren [email protected]

Class of ’57 has had two recent moves. Margie Barton Williams writes, “We finally sold our house and are living in an apartment until we find what we want. Our address is 2592 Marblevista Blvd., Columbus, OH 43204. We sold our house to Jeni of Jeni’s Ice Cream.”

Linda Gerstenfeld Cheren and her husband, Stanley, have also sold their house and moved permanently and happily to an apartment near Coolidge Corner in Brookline, Massachusetts — 1501 Beacon Street, Apt. 701, Brookline, MA 02446.

Judy Pass Redd writes, “I am fully recovered from my two surgeries — knee replacement in October and hernia repair in April. My garden is absolutely beautiful. Right now my son and I are relaxing at my daughter’s house

in Mt. Shasta, California. They had a big July 4th celebration, and we’ll all be camping for a couple of days. Other than that, I am enjoying my new normal life.” And like Judy, Linda is also recovering from a knee replacement — hers in late May.


1959Ramona Lopez Dreebin [email protected]

Monin Lopez Dreebin writes, “I had a lovely trip to Ireland this spring (2014) and enjoyed a Celtic rock music tour with the Young Dubliners. They are a local Celtic rock band. We traveled over much the Republic of Ireland with the band and went to the gigs. I guess I have become a bit of a groupie at 72. They play in pubs and the music is rowdy. We had a ball. Then, two friends and I rented a car and drove north for a few days to explore the North Antrim Coast and Belfast in Northern Ireland. Great trip.”

Monin had more news to share in June: “Grandson Levi Alexander Dreebin was born on June 14, 2014 to my son, Brian, and daughter-in-law, Sarah Dreebin, in Long Beach, California. Needless to say Mike and I are ecstatic over our first and, as yet, only grandchild. They are reasonably close by so we get to see him.”

Barby Park Goldschmid writes, “I got a new job last August and I am loving it so, so much. It is the best job I have ever had. I am running an After School Music Program at an Episcopal Church for economically disadvantaged kids in third, fourth and fifth grades. I just love them so much. The program is staffed with over 50 volunteers. The kids get help with homework, piano lessons, or chimes, and one hour of choral and voice lessons every day. I get to know all the families and the volunteers are amazing. We have retired elementary principal, teachers, college professors, reading specialists and just wonderful loving people. The program is totally free to the families. We get to really make a difference. We had one child finish in the top 10 in the state math contest. Who would have thought that at 72 I’d get to have so much fun every day? Also it is perfect for an old lady because it is four days a week, and school year. Perfect.

“Also we have been blessed the last three years by a winter visit from Peggy Matt Varnedoe. She and John now come with their camper and dog Barkus each winter for a couple of weeks to Tucson, Arizona and we get to have so much fun. A real blessing.

“Last but not least. We are renting out two rooms in our house on airbnb.com. It is a great site for traveling where you can get amazing places so much cheaper than hotels. It is so much fun and we get the greatest people and have so much fun. Look us up and come and visit.”

Members of the class of 1959 gather for their 60th reunion!


Six members of the class of 1959 returned to Columbus, Ohio for their 55th reunion in April. Toni Seymour, Betsy Kauffman, Lynn Haverick Ryan, Debby Dawes Fortkamp, Diane Tefft Young, and Linda Yenkin gathered to see the school.

1960Carolyn Thomas Christy [email protected]

Sally Seifert-Cohen went on a river cruise starting in Prague, Czech Republic and ending in Budapest, Hungary that took her along the Danube and through all of the river’s locks. One of the wonderful memories she enjoyed was a concert in Vienna, Austria and a huge shopping market in Budapest that gave her a chance to get to meet many local people. Then, she traveled to Hawaii in May 2014 and enjoyed her Hilton points plan in the Hilton Hawaiian Village in Honolulu, Hawaii. Sally is a board member of Las Commodoras at Bahia Corinthian Yacht Club and will continue serving in 2015. Every woman in the yacht club is a member and they have many interesting programs all year long. Sally keeps very busy helping at her church and volunteering. Don is active in several organizations and enjoys boating, swimming and bike riding. They will celebrate 48 wonderful years together in September. You can connect with Sally by requesting to friend Sally Seifert-Cohen on Facebook.

Missie Martin Perramond writes, “This year, the Perramonds celebrated another birthday milestone (Dany’s 70th) in March by gathering all in a lovely rental house in Sonoma, California. Lazy mornings over leisurely breakfasts, some excellent dining and ‘sipping’, and a good measure of hiking, too. Immediate departure thereafter from San Francisco, California to Barcelona, Spain for Dany and me, who continue to enjoy our ‘half-n-half’ life split between Vernet-les-Bains in France and Virginia, with frequent forays to Colorado and California when stateside.

“Our ‘kids’ and granddaughters (soon turning eight and six) are all doing well. Older son Eric led a group of 13 students from Colorado College on a three-week course of study of Mediterranean Environments, then came for a week of R & R with us. A special brag about his wife, Ann, who has been writing ‘cozy’ novels for several years and has just landed a three-book contract with Avon Books! We are so proud of and happy for her! Her first book will be published, under the pen name of Ann Myers, in the fall of 2015.

“Our health has been very good so far (knock on wood!), though Dany took a fall just 10 days after we traveled to France and fractured

his ankle. We feel as though we have just arrived here, since he was immobilized for two months. We are making up now for lost time! The Eastern Pyrenees are beautiful and great hiking awaits our itchy feet!

“Best to all my wonderful classmates. I will be excited to read about your lives.”

Molly Doyle writes, “All is well in California. I spent the first weekend of June in Vermont at a camp where I spent 11 summers. It was the first reunion ever and I had a fantastic time. Reunited with two former friends—had not seen them in more than 50 years. Completed my 11th year doing taxes and plan to continue to teach tax classes and do returns for a few more years. Last summer, four of us spent two weeks in China—an educational and enjoyable trip to say the least. Looking forward to our 55th next April in Columbus. The friend I used to stay with passed away a couple of years ago—however I will stay with her son/daughter in-law and get to visit the family. I trust all is well with you and retirement is treating you well.”

Sandra Ackley Kirk’s family is busy these days. Her daughter, Kristin Kirk Florey ’84 is raising all kinds of chickens and peacocks. Her son, Zac Kirk, is in the student housing development business with his uncle, Richard Kirk. Her daughter, Lindsey Kirk ’01 is teaching special education in San Francisco, California.

Bobbie Watson Neal reports that she has enjoyed a summer filled with grandchildren.

Carolyn Thomas Christy spent the summer in Good Hart, Michigan with her sister, Susan Thomas Logsdon ’64. Among their visitors were all of Carolyn’s grandchildren and children which include Louisa Lloyd Wood Shields ’89. Still being able to play tennis and zipline with the grandkids makes for a lively time when the summer proved too chilly for swimming on the beach.

Karen Tweedy-Holmes writes, “My big excitement in recent months has been two trips: The first was to the West Coast. I flew to Seattle, Washington in May to photograph a Barnard classmate’s huge family gathering celebrating three birthdays among her relatives. Katherine has remained one of my closest friends, and we see each other as often as our bicoastal residence allows. After the party, I drove to Salt Spring Island in British Columbia to visit another Barnard classmate, one whom I hadn’t seen in 40 years! Tamar is a wonderful sea-life photographer whose subjects, including whales, sea lions and dolphins that cavort beyond the doorway of a cabin she maintains on a promontory called Bold Bluff during part

of the summer to record marine wonders. We took an amazing and strenuous hike to the cabin through temperate rainforest terrain where I saw and photographed large spotted banana slugs for the first time and their invasive relatives, black slugs, that were as shiny as patent leather and very handsome (for slugs).

“The second trip was even more thrilling. For the fifth time, I visited the 13,000-acre Black Hills Wild Horse Sanctuary near Hot Springs, South Dakota, where I have become acquainted with a number of individual mustangs of the nearly 600 who live there and have photographed them extensively, first for my book, Horse Sanctuary, and now for pure pleasure. A couple of years ago, I participated in the rescue of three abused Spanish mustang mares who were starving and mistreated in Utah and who now are healthy and happy and enjoying their freedom for the rest of their lives. Seeing them running free is one of the greatest pleasures I have ever known.

“Lou and I are planning a 10-day photo safari in Kenya at the end of this month and will go if the State Department warnings do not become direr than they are now. We’re keeping our fingers crossed. I hope this note finds all our classmates well and enjoying the summertime.”

Penny Utley Shyjka and her husband have been enjoying this soft summer weather in Ohio and will do a Danube River tour later in the year. Their youngest is married and lives in Chicago, Illinois. Three of their grandsons are at Camp Kawanhee. The youngest delighted them by thinking that Bexley 4th of July celebrations were the perfect venue for his birthday. Penny continues to teach at St. Joseph Montessori.

Sally Bonney Proctor and her husband Charlie spent their year between Honolulu, Hawaii and Cape Cod, Massachusetts. Their girls live in San Jose, California and Roanoke, Virginia and they have two grandchildren. They spend time traveling, enjoying their two dogs and trying to keep their old houses in shape. A year ago last spring, they spent a few days in Savannah, Georgia and enjoyed seeing Peggy Matt Varnedoe ’59 and her husband, John, and dog, Barkus.

Neddy Slauson Mitchell has 19 grandchildren! Her son Brian and his wife have two—a boy named Jackson and a girl named Katie. Brian is a secret service agent attached to the president’s detail. Neddy missed the 50th reunion because her husband had a pacemaker put in, but she saw the pictures and wished she could have been there!

Diana Clatworthy Morgan’s husband, Kent, wins the prize for planning and successfully executing a surprise party. With careful planning, he managed to gather friends and family members at their home. He timed their arrivals so Diana could visit each guest before the next arrived. Diana has been recovering from a year of vertigo-like symptoms. Susie came from Paris, France and John came from Colorado. Marcus, their grandson, was there. He is recovering from a terrible auto accident last winter. All is “good” now.

Cherie Williams Lucks and Jack’s son, Tyler, and daughter-in-law, Cassie, had twins this spring. Needless to say the twins have added a new dimension to their lives.

Patricia Tice Offenberg celebrated her 70th birthday with her extended family by going to Durham, North Carolina for a Carolina Barbecue. She loved visiting with all the children, spouses, grandchildren and her siblings. “The weekend was filled with laughter and sunshine,” wrote Patricia.

Cynthia Yenkin Levinson’s younger daughter, Rachel, and her husband had a second baby, a boy named Eli, in April 2014, joining big sister Sarah. She is still writing nonfiction for kids, with four more books under contract. The next one, due out in March 2015, is about children’s circus as a form of multicultural social justice. The two after that are both scheduled for January 2016; one of those books is a biography of Hillary Rodham Clinton, Cynthia’s dorm-mate! Her husband, Sandy, has another book coming out next year, too, about the Federalist Papers, and they are working on a children’s book together about the Constitution. They need a vacation!

Joy White Culp traveled to Berlin, Germany, to visit her son, Bob, his wife, Sandra, and their little ones, Livia, who is turning five in August, and Aden, born November 25, 2013.

Helen Cummins Strahinich writes that she published her novel the end of last year, and it’s starting to take off. It is called The Secret of Jeanne Baret, the true story of the first woman ever to circle the earth. “My target audience is young adults. (But it’s an adventure tale meant for girls of all ages). I’ve had some recent ‘firsts’: My first listing in a

school curriculum; my first book club meeting, where members had read my book and I fielded questions; my first reading, scheduled for June 2014, in Boston, Massachusetts where I read a chapter of my book and signed copies; my first phone call from an unknown fan with a rave review. I have several more book clubs scheduled or requesting visits, and I’m exhibiting at the National Council for Social Studies in November. You can get the book on Amazon if you’re interested. One other thing: my sister, Lisa Cummins Kamieniecki ’75, is illustrating a middle-grade book that I wrote.” At the time of this submission, Helen was expecting to have She’s Just Too Funny ready for her first reading in June 2014.

Linda Krech Archer and her husband, Tom, announce the arrival of their fourth grandchild. Ryder James Archer was born to their son and daughter-in-law Chris and Christina Archer on March 4, 2014. The little lad weighed seven pounds and 10 ounces and is their first child.

Long ago classmate Nancy Benua, nom de brush “Benny Alba”, continues a dedicated career as an artist. Not only does she actively pursue an exhibition career of solos (this year it’s been a college in North Carolina, two libraries, etc. to the total of five) but a survey book of her artwork, Benny Alba: 1963-2013, is expected to be released late this year. CSG graduate, the late Marjorie Post Benua ’33 , and Nancy’s great grandmother will also be featured.


Hindi Lichtenstein Friedman is happy to announce the birth of her fourth grandchild– the first born to her daughter Alison–on September 14, 2013. His name is Jonah Irvin Kripke.

In October, Rosalind M. Mercier flew to Paris, France for the sad occasion of the funeral of close family friend Vicomtesse de Rosière (Harriet Moeller de Rosière ’46) at the American Cathedral. Rosalind landed, jet-lagged, and immediately took a train to Harriet’s former home, Château de Barberey, where Rosalind and her mother had so many happy times. Then, she reunited with Harriet’s son, Roland, and grandson, Paulo, for a gathering of family and friends at an elegant luncheon before the service. Rosalind then travelled up to Normandie to meet a long-lost cousin and stayed at his lovely château, a converted abbey from the early 1700’s, crossed the Channel to visit long-time friends from her years in England including her cousin, Lady Stewart who was 102 years old (and has sadly since died), and more French cousins in Aberdeen (with the oil business)—fascinating city with helicopters everywhere flying over castle ruins to the oil rigs.

Back in Columbus, Ohio, Rosalind is still an Honourary Whipper-In for Rocky Fork Headley Hunt and plays bad tennis (seeing various CSG alumnae at both), teaches the odd day of Zombie makeup at Columbus Academy and CSG, subbed for the Upper School Art Department (earning a new respect for the exhaustive dedication it takes to be a teacher), rescues too many animals, and tries to get her portraiture done.

Jill Levy writes, “Dear Class of 1970, you are the greatest group of women I have ever known. When you bought 24 seats in the new Agnes Jeffrey Shedd Theater, you honored Lisa M., Dana K., Patti I., Nancy S., Claire C. and Lisa L., supported our school, and showed why our class is so special. From my heart, thank you!”

Janie Aronson Baskin’s novel, Paint Me A Monster is in its second printing. In July, Janie went to One Step At A Time Camp, a camp for

1964 – 50th Reunion


children with cancer and leukemia, where she has run art programs for the past six years. As soon as she returned, she taught workshops in Expressive and Healing Art. The workshops are geared to women in transition, dealing with illness, or who want to learn about art and become healthier while they create.

Janie Marr Werum met with Babsy Summer Glazier and Susan Leach Madden for lunch on the Cape in Massachusetts this summer.

Lesley Wilson Schaab writes that the three Wilson alumnae siblings, Kit Wilson ’66, Kathy Wilson Muth ’68, and Lesley Wilson Schaab ’70 got together in Columbus, Ohio recently, to see their mother receive her 50-year pin from her sorority, Alpha Chi Omega.

It is with great sadness that we report of the passing of Lisa Lucas. She passed away in April 2014. Leslie Huntington writes, “I enjoyed chatting today with Jonathan Lucas, the darling nephew of our dear Lisa. Two weeks ago he went to a family celebration of her life in Phoenix, Arizona at the home of his uncle, Jeff. Her son and daughter were well, and there were good family remembrances.” Lisa has been remembered by her classmates with her name on a seat in the new Agnes Jeffrey Shedd Theater (row N, seat #24).

Sadly, Susan Wentz King’s husband, Larry, passed away of cancer on March 29, 2014 in North Oaks, Minnesota.

Sophie DeVennish Sisler became a grandmother on April 6, 2014 with the birth of Ruth Ann Waple to daughter, Kathryn, and her husband, Joe, in Wilmington, North Carolina.

Nancy Pace continues to live out her passion of delivering medical care and humanitarian aid to some of the poorest people in the world. She spent the month of May in Indonesia in meetings and visiting projects in Java and Sulawesi. This was followed by a visit to Morocco.

In December, she has been invited to the Rakine State in Myanmar along the Bangladesh border to deliver medical care and hold public health fairs.

When she is not traveling, she is working to raise $200,000 from Hawaii and International partners to build a school for 1,500 children in Angkor Thom outside of Siem Reap in Cambodia and in March 2015 she plans to take an international team of 30 to help build a portion of the school, hold medical clinics and public health trainings.

1972Class Rep.Needed

Paula Pen-Nabrit writes, “I was married for 36 years, 8 months and 22 days to an

incredibly bizarre guy who whizzed thru Dartmouth in three years, graduated with honors and a bunch of varsity letters and always knew he wanted a particular kind of life. So, no surprise that he directed ‘his little darlings’ homeschooling until Charles and Damon went to Princeton and Evan went off to Amherst. He also directed all marketing and sales for PN&A, Inc., the management-consulting firm we started back in 1986. The man was a force of nature! Sadly, despite a heavily organic diet, and weekly sessions with a personal trainer, Charles, “CMadison”, died on May 20, 2013 from diabetic complications. May 20, 2014 was the first anniversary of his death. We are still very sad and a piece of our hearts indeed went with him, but his sons and I decided to create The Charles Madison Nabrit Memorial Garden, a 50’ x 75’ (3,750 sq. ft) organic, self-sustaining garden in a food desert, on a fallow field donated by our church as a perfect, living example of his commitment to holistic spiritual, intellectual and physical health and well-being. A memorial service and grand opening was held Father’s Day Weekend 2014. Jenifer Sehring Alexander ’72 and Babette Gorman ’69 and my sisters Cheryl Penn ’76 and Courtney Penn-Blevins ’89 came.

The Wilson siblings: Kit Wilson’66, Kathy Wilson Muth ’68, Lesley Wilson Schaab ’70, and their Mother, Helen Wilson.

And CSGers have provided lots of financial support—big thanks to ’72 buddies Missy Morris Scheu-Octave, Kathleen Krueger Barrows, Lisa Morrett Reid, Jenifer Sehring Alexander, Lucy Joyce, Jeanne Ferguson Fansler and other Unicorns Babette Gorman ’69, Valeria Wicker ’98, Jane Wolfe ’76 and Elizabeth Wolfe Hamrick ’82.”

The following is an update that was accidentally omitted from the fall 2012 edition of class news: Molly Lambright Sills wrote, “Members of the class of ’72 attended their first official mini-reunion on October 4-7, 2012. This event was conceived by Lisa Morrett Reid and proposed at our 40th reunion in April. Sally Jeffrey O’Neil, Kathy Krueger Barrows, and I travelled from the east coast to Lisa and Chuck’s lovely property, which is located between St. Helena and Calistoga, California in the Napa Valley. We were met there by Caroline Farrar Orrick, who travelled from San Francisco, California and Anne Garden, who served as Lisa’s co-hostess. Anne had not attended our CSG reunion in many years, so it was a real treat to see her. Nancy Krueger ’74 drove Kathy out from San Francisco and ended up staying with us the whole weekend.

“On Thursday night, Lisa provided a wonderful dinner of London broil, salad, and pizza. She baked the pizza in her very own outdoor oven. This meal was served poolside with wine, of course, and revived those of us who had made the long trek across the country and driven through the San Francisco commuter traffic.

“Lisa’s property has a main house and a barn, which she has converted to her studio. Her plein air landscapes grace the walls of the studio that also serves as an expertly designed guesthouse. All of us stayed at Lisa’s except Anne, whose parents and sister live nearby.

“Having arrived in the dark, we were awestruck by the beautiful view the next morning. The sun was burning off the fog over Lisa’s vineyard, the vegetable and flower gardens, and the bocce ball court. Although spending the day at Lisa’s was tempting, we took off for the farmers’ market in St. Helena, California. In addition to produce and baked goods, local artists and craftsmen were in attendance. One of these craftsmen was Anne’s sister, Jen. Anne and Jen collaborate to produce letterpress and silk-screen broadsides, which were on display.

“Our next stop was the Domaine Carneros Winery. This winery makes a world-class sparkling wine. We took a tour and learned about sparkling-wine-making which involves many things including grapes, sugar, turning of bottles, some kind of plug, the passage of time, and inserting the cork. We tasted several sparkling wines and then continued on to a

below-ground tasting room where we were served a variety of red wines. The sampling went on for a while, after which we placed a large order. After loading up our purchases, we headed to a park for a nutritious alfresco picnic lunch provided by Anne. It was delicious, but my memory of the specifics is a little fuzzy.

“The Hess Winery was our afternoon destination. Swiss founder, Donald Hess, has an extensive art collection and some of it is displayed on the second story of this historic stone winery. We were given a tour of the art gallery which had some thought provoking exhibits. We then proceeded to the tasting room. This tasting was less raucous than the morning one, but I believe some purchases were made.

“After relaxing at Lisa’s for the rest of the afternoon we dined in St. Helena escorted by Lisa’s husband, Chuck. After dinner we met Kathy and Nancy’s cousin, who lives in the area. He is as handsome as they are beautiful and he seemed genuinely thrilled to see them.

“We awakened to another perfect day on Saturday. Anne arrived to take us to see her family’s property. Anne’s property has a vineyard, chickens, a vegetable garden, several barns, several houses, and a performance space for musical events. Our first stop was the large barn that is home to sister, Jen, and Anne’s studio. Jen’s first-floor living space looks like a sepia toned movie set, and Anne’s second-floor studio is light, airy, and immaculate. In addition to her paintings, Anne also creates images that she silk-screens onto linen, silk, and cotton. After viewing Anne’s remarkable work, we visited the performance space and proceeded up the mountain to a small lake that is featured in some of Anne’s paintings. I could have spent the rest of the day in this truly idyllic spot, but we had spa treatments booked for the afternoon.

“Calistoga is noted for its mud baths. The ‘mud’ is actually a peat, volcanic ash, and mineral water emulsion, or so they say. Getting into a bathtub full of it requires a leap of faith. Lisa, Caroline, and I took the mud bath, which was followed by a massage. Kathy and Nancy opted for other services, while Sally enjoyed the beautiful afternoon.

“On Saturday evening, we had dinner at Lisa and Chuck’s, where we were joined by Bill Orrick and Len Mastromonaco, husbands of Caroline and Anne. Lisa and Kathy had prepared Osso Buco and it was delicious. We also enjoyed some of the wine we had purchased. There was much laughter during dinner and general agreement that Lisa, with Anne’s help, had provided us with a marvelous experience and memories we would cherish.

“On Sunday, we packed up and sadly said our goodbyes. If Lisa ever invites us back to visit, I plan to clear my schedule.”

With great sadness, we report the death of Marianne Altmaier Coyne’s mother, Elaine McCune Altmaier ’39. Elaine passed away on June 7, 2014 in Cedarville, Michigan.

Susan Cutler Harris recently retired from 20 years of private psychotherapeutic practice. Her new career is working as Outreach Coordinator for www.jasonsconnection.org, a non-profit grassroots website to provide resources, services and blogs for the disability community and the community at large. It has been very exciting to help fulfill such a great need! She is also on the National Board of Reelabilities Film Festival.

Anne Dilenschneider made two presentations at the international conference of the Christian Association for Psychological Studies in Atlanta, California on April 4 and 5, 2014. Both had to do with recovery from trauma, and are based on my cross-cultural clinical psychology doctoral research. The first was “In Our Own Voices: Moving from Dissociation to Consciousness”.

The second was “Forgiveness as the Restoration of Love, Justice and Power: A Cross-Cultural Approach”. She has also asked to be one of the keynote presenters at the international symposium being hosted by the North American Institute for Indigenous Theological Studies (NAIITS) in Oregon in early June. Her presentation was on “Walking the Road of Forgiveness: The Restoration of Love, Justice, and Power.”

She also continues to teach courses in spirituality, pastoral care, and leadership. She taught for the California/Nevada CLayM program in January 2014 (a great time to be in California and away from the Dakota blizzards!), and taught a course on Spirituality and Pastoral Care in Sioux City, Iowa for Garrett Evangelical Theological Seminary’s Upper Midwest Course of Study for the United Methodist Church. In addition, she teaches psychology courses for the Masters’ counseling program at Sioux Falls Seminary.

Meanwhile, on a day-to-day basis, she is a part of the team at Sioux Falls Psychological Services. Anne provides ADHD/ASD evaluations for children, teens, and adults, with an additional focus on adolescents and women, and recovery from trauma.

Muffy Hamilton Parsons writes, “The Class of 1974 had a great time and it was wonderful

being together! We kicked off a fun weekend with a wine tasting at Wyandotte Winery attended by Stephanie Burchfield, Isabella Zsoldos, and Gen Anne Lanphere. They really enjoyed the variety of locally crafted wines.

“Our thanks and appreciation goes to Holly Schottenstein Kastan for hosting us Friday night. It was an opportunity to catch up, compare notes, laugh, tell stories and remember Lori Zeldin and Katie LeVeque, who we lost in October, as well as Teresa Fung, Toye Brewer and Cynthia Stallman Pacitti.

“Mary Jane Trapp (with her husband Mike Apicella), Jennifer Poulton Rose, Stephanie Burchfield, Debbie DuRivage Murray, Caron Zand, Laurie Aronson Starr, Gen Anne Lanphere, Debbie Sawyer, Sharon Stucker Weir, Beth Bridges, Paula Martin Fenner, Emily Minor Smith, Molly Lazarus,

Linda Turton Freilich, Patty Williams French, Isabella Zsoldos, Karla Johnson, Julie Mueller, Vicki Vaughn Drabick, Holly Schottenstein Kastan, and Muffy Hamilton Parsons celebrated reunion together.

“Saturday began with a bird walk and breakfast in Galena, Ohio then Cathy Zacks Gildenhorn joined us on Saturday at school as we celebrated Mary Jane Trapp’s selection as Alumna of the Year. After lunch we gathered in the new theatre to hear her inspiring and motivating acceptance. At the conclusion of the program, the Class of 1974 was presented The Red-Gold Award for the largest total reunion giving! After the program, several classmates went on a historical walk of Bexley while some of us attended the afternoon cocktail party.

“We had a special evening with Mrs. Lazarus ’58—who insisted we call her Mary—and Molly at their home. It sure brought back memories! Once again, we had a scrumptious dinner along with lots of conversation!

“The weekend was capped off by a personal tour of Ann Hamilton’s ‘Verses’ installation at the OSU Thompson Library led Ann herself. Now an internationally recognized artist, it was a special treat to hear about the exhibit and her career on a global level. What a way to end our fabulous weekend! Thanks to all who attended from near and far. We hope to see everyone again in 2019 for our 45th!”

Catherine Zacks Gildenhorn is honored to serve as Editor-in-Chief and designated spokesperson for the remarkable second book her dad, Gordon Zacks, wrote in January 2014 before he passed on February 1, 2014. “Redefining Moments End of Life Stories for Better Living” celebrates living every moment purposefully and lovingly. It starts a new conversation about end-of-life. Join the conversation at www.redefiningmoments.org.

1978Kate Estabrook Schoedinger [email protected]

Kate Estabrook Schoedinger writes, “I always love the American Library Conference. This year it was in Las Vegas, Nevada. It was great to meet authors and enjoy workshops. I’m looking forward to another year as reading specialist in the same district since 1984 and my second year teaching Adolescent Literacy at Saint Anselm College. Enjoyed nonfiction author Nathaniel Philbrick at our school: easy snag! His nephew is an eighth grader! Sigmund Brouwer is returning and he and I have co-authored a book! Stalking pays off! Daughter Liza is a junior at High Point University enjoying an internship in Washington, D.C. and Ferd IV is a senior in high school. All good things coming their way!”

Sarah Porter Good writes, “Our son, Thaddeus Davis, got married to Melissa Rhea Mullett on June 28, 2014 on top of the Painter Boy ski lift in the Hidden Meadow in Crested Butte, Colorado! Apparently in the state of Colorado, two people can marry themselves without any witnesses. We all decided that it wouldn’t feel real; so our nephew, Sam Porter, an attorney for Governor Kasich, officiated! So, the whole occasion was 100% joyful and 100% magical. And, that is not all! We, Sarah, Scott, Cameron and Eloise the dog are moving to Charlotte, North Carolina just because. Cameron will be a freshman at Myers Park High School and we are all looking forward to our new adventure! Sydney will be finishing her senior year in commercial photography at Ohio University....yea! She’s on time! And Corey is thriving in Knoxville, Tennessee.”

Lynda Lanphere Buel writes, “I purchased the company that I was working for last year. I am now the owner of Security Risk Management Consultants, an independent security consulting firm located in Columbus, Ohio. As a woman-owned business we provide security solutions to our clients through risk/vulnerability assessments, technology design, and RFP support. Other exciting news includes the graduation of my twins from high school in May 2014. I will have three in college in the fall, one in San Francisco, California and the other two here in Columbus, Ohio. Additionally, I just obtained my CPTED practitioner designation which is looking at Crime Prevention through Environmental Design from the School of Architecture, Florida Atlantic University in April 2014.”

Diane Smith Long writes, “This summer has been a traveling one for our family! We traveled to Belize with younger son, Nick (high school sophomore), while our older son, William (high school senior) traveled to Bali to compete in the International Biology Olympiad. He came home with a gold medal and lots of exotic and wonderful experiences. This year I also was able to travel with my sister, Marcia Smith Miller ’71 to Chicago, Illinois for her son’s graduation from the Art Institute of Chicago and to Yogaville, Virginia where she led an incredible yoga retreat! Last winter, our family was able to visit Kate Estabrook Schoedinger and her family in New Hampshire, where we all went snowmobiling on beautiful Lake Horace and enjoyed an incredible winter wonderland with good friends.”

Bridget Hart writes, “Your class rep has been very busy this year. The chef business is good, and I’ve recently added Pro Football Hall of Famer, John Elway and his wife as cooking clients. In addition to my regular practice as



a nutrition-centered personal chef in Denver, Colorado, I started as Nutrition Coach for an anti-aging and wellness medical clinic in St. Petersburg, Florida. I was also happy to travel to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania this spring for the American Society of Bariatric Physicians’ annual obesity conference as an associate member (doesn’t that sound like fun?). On the home front, husband Ken still eats Taco Bell on a regular basis, and the dog is still overly needy.”

Lisa Mueller Greene writes to say that her family just returned from vacation in April. They did a historic tour of Virginia including Colonial Williamsburg, Jamestown, and Monticello, and finished the trip with an overnight visit with her sister Julie Mueller ’74. In addition to touring all the great sights, they managed to come across people they know or people who know people they know at every stop. The Greenes ran into a cousin in Williamsburg, crossed paths with Neil Alexander, Columbus Academy ’83, in Jamestown, and met Fiona Horton Medich’s nephews’ eighth-grade history teacher en route to Monticello. Lisa reports that they are now in the home stretch for the school year and very much looking forward to summer.

Fiona Horton Medich wrote to say that her mother passed away in November, after a two-year battle with ovarian cancer. In keeping with her mother’s wishes, in April, Fiona and her family took her ashes to her parents’ beloved Isles of Scilly in England, where she, her dad and her siblings held a memorial service in the 1000-year-old church on the island. Joyfully, Fiona tells us that she became a grandmother last February when her stepdaughter Samantha, and husband, Jeff, had a baby girl, Harper. The doting grandma says Harper is an absolute delight, and they manage to visit her in Texas regularly and keep in touch by Skype! Fiona’s daughter Elena is graduating from high school this year and will be attending Ohio University in the fall. Elena is captain of the softball team and son Alex, a sophomore, is playing baseball.

Andrea Zid Salmi says that she just returned from the requisite junior-year spring break college touring with daughter Ava. She and her husband had to split duty (twins you know) and Semi took Otto college visiting. Ava wants to swim in college so they were meeting with coaches and checking out the schools and their swim teams – Andrea says that it was actually really fun. She reports that she’s also competing in the US Masters Nationals Swimming Championships—although she says it sounds like a bigger deal than it is (note from Bridget: speaking as someone who can barely keep from drowning at almost age 50—it IS a big deal!) Andrea is

excited to swim the 50 and 100 free and the 100 IM! She says there about 20 people going from her team so it will be tons of laughs. Apparently there are lots of Olympians racing at the meet so she says it should be really fun people-watching. Also worth noting is that Andrea trains with a guy who won five gold medals in the 1960-64 Olympics. Way to go Andrea, let us know how you do!

Joyous news from Jenna Ewart DenBleyker—the DenBleykers have recently welcomed their sixth child, Lauren Jazmin, into their family. Jenna says that other than a bit of sibling jealousy, they are all doing well with the transition. She continues to work part-time at a clinic just down the road, and says the family has enjoyed the recent beautiful winter in Utah (lots of warm weather, sunshine, and enough snow to enjoy their ski lessons). Congratulations Jenna and family!

Courtney Rice Bosca reports that she recently spent a week at a board retreat for Montana de Luz, a Honduran orphanage for HIV+ youth that she is deeply involved with, and writes that she is enjoying serving on the Board of Directors for the organization. She’s currently working on a fundraising campaign to take seven HIV+ Central Ohio youth (ages 18-25) to Montana de Luz, connecting Central Ohio HIV+ youth with the HIV+ youth in Honduras for a week filled with communication, music, and acting workshops specific to AIDS. She says the goal is to connect these two groups and increase understanding between cultures, and give both groups further connectedness in their lives living with this disease. Courtney said that more information about the organization and the good work going on there is available at www.montanadeluz.com and if you are interested in supporting this noble vision through donation, (Montana de Luz is a 501(c)3 organization), please contact her directly at [email protected]. She also says she had a great time watching the CSG versus Columbus Academy girls’ lacrosse game where her niece Meg Wilson ’17 played. Courtney also enjoyed a week in the Charleston, South Carolina area for spring break with husband, Chris, and boys, Mario and Nicholas.

Christine Thorne is still Staff Eye Surgeon at The Cincinnati Veterans Affairs Medical Center (CVAMC) and Assistant Professor (Clinical) at Case Western Reserve University’s School of Medicine. They are anticipating a gorgeous new Veteran’s Affairs Ambulatory Surgery Center this month—mainly for Eye. It’s been a good/busy year. She says, “Katy, Sarah, and I splurged on a Bajan spring break. Sarah received straight A’s in K12 and may skip to many high school classes. Katy is Laurel class president again and Branch Award winner times three. Currently Katy is in Beijing at the Middlebury Chinese immersion program. Sarah is enjoying relaxation, shopping, and braiding hair. Samson, my poodle, is still sweet. Lots of fun with my extended family. Great seeing everyone at the 30th! My CSG sticker is on my car. None of those up here in Shaker.”

Ann Johnston Wilde writes, “My oldest daughter, Adrienne is a rising senior at Baylor University. Blake, my son, will be a sophomore in the fall at University of the South (Sewanee). He currently plays on their tennis team and was undefeated in men’s singles last spring. Sewanee won their D3 conference last spring, and played in the national tournament in St. Louis, Missouri. My youngest, Cecile, completed her sophomore year. She is nationally ranked among the girls 18 division in tennis and competes in Texas as a Super Champ and will be playing national tournaments beginning this summer. Practically an empty nester, in attempts to


fill my spare time, I head up all the US Tennis Association’s Adult Leagues and Junior Team Tennis in the region. I also play tennis and earned the club singles title for the fith year. I also compete in USTA leagues and tournaments when time permits. The Wildes like tennis!”

Susan Weiler says, “A big thank you to our classmates Julie Schottenstein Saar, Colleen Duffy, Katie Kessler Chatas, Andrea Krupman Powell and Lolly Marks for working so hard to make our 30th reunion wonderful! I loved reconnecting with all those that made it back. Our class is filled with such inspiring, energetic and fun women. We had a blast together! I was happy to return to Columbus, Ohio again to celebrate my niece, Claire Weiler ’14’s CSG graduation in early June. For those classmates that missed our reunion, I hope you’ll make it next time or stop by if you are in Boston, Massachusetts where I live with my 15-year-old son who is a rising freshman at Belmont Hill School.”

Katie Kessler Chatas is still a foundation stone in the connection of classmates of the class of 1984. Class representative Julie said, “I, Julie, am writing this so I can tell it like it is. Katie enthusiastically helped Colleen and Lolly craft our wonderful gathering at Third and Hollywood. She helped garner support from some classmates for a lovely art piece outside the new Agnes Jeffrey Shedd Theater at the school. Katie continues in her devoted support of the school, and lends much time and attention towards its beloved staff and community. She holds a unique place in the

hearts of all classmates, in the hearts of Heads of School past and present, teachers, parents, families. This is unique and does not go unnoticed. Katie recognizes the remarkable community the school offers, and it seems they reciprocally sustain each other.”

Kristin Kirk Florey also enjoyed the 30th! She is currently managing life with lovely daughter, Audra, and sweet son, Lakes, and husband, Jeff, at their sort-of mini-farm/home in Blacklick, Ohio. Kristin recently helped rescue four baby raccoons at Katie Chatas’ home, as the mother raccoon had been hit by a car. Kristin also attends to a menagerie of peacocks, special chickens, birds, a goat, a turkey, fish, frogs and more. Her faithful people-friends stop by for a gander at the animals, but the truth is they are marveling at Kristin, who has a skill that few have; an appreciation for this good earth and an effervescence to help any poor creature who may need her good and experienced care. Class representative, Julie said, “We love you Kristin—you are an original and a wonder!” Special attentive friend Andrea Krupman has been a lifesaver helping the racoons survive by feeding and attending to them, and giving Kristin support for a special family getaway. Katie Kessler Chatas has also helped with the creatures.

Julie Schottenstein Saar especially enjoyed reconnecting with old friends at this year’s 30th Reunion. Great spirit and love still emanates from the class, and these gatherings continue to give her strength. Julie and Yoaz’s eldest, Maya Saar ’14, graduated from CSG

and will be attending Brandeis University, and their youngest daughter Ruthie is entering Form V. Julie participated in some reunion planning with friends Colleen Duffy, Katie Chatas, Lolly Marks and Andrea Krupman Powell. Thanks to all who rallied to make it meaningful (and memorable)!

Ellen Barber thoroughly enjoyed the 30th reunion. She’s so impressed by our class of amazing women! Ellen is still writing and editing in New Mexico. She and her partner, Bob, have just formed Condensed Light LLC, which provides both content and design services. Sign up for their newsletter at www.condensedlight.com!

Lena’s mom, Betty Lou, had dinner with them, and she looked just as great as ever and even made fresh peach pie.” Lisa was also fortunate to reconnect with Jayn Moore-Warner before vacation to celebrate her husband’s birthday with some friends. They enjoyed listening to Chris Logsdon, going down memory lane and made a pack to spend more time together over the summer.

Jessica Roby Hoffman writes, “I am so excited to share that I opened two new, top-of-the-line, organic, child care centers in Dublin, Ohio and Powell, Ohio: The Barrington School. I am a mother of a one and two-year-old, and I wanted to make a child care center that would make life easier on the parents and their families. I am a very picky mother and I picked everything I wanted for my children and offer it as part of the tuition. I used everything I learned over the years in the child care industry, as my family has owned child care centers for the past 35 years as well as what I learned while at CSG and during my undergraduate studies in Early Childhood Education. CSG was my inspiration for the education. I wanted hands-on learning like we received at CSG. We serve organic homemade breakfast, lunch and afternoon snacks. We offer Spanish, gymnastics, dance, music and soccer all as part of the curriculum and included with tuition. We include all diapers, wipes, blankets, organic sun screen and we add an extra teacher to every classroom over and above state law guidelines. The Dublin location opened in May and the Powell location opened in July.”

2013–2014 Columbus School for Girls


Dear Families and Friends of CSG:

I am delighted to extend many thanks for the generosity of the CSG community, which this 2013-14 Annual Report reflects. I hope that you share my pride and gratitude for our dedicated benefactors and volunteers and all they have done to advance and support the school’s mission and values.

The quality of a CSG education is made possible by the abundant and broad-based support the School receives from every corner of its constituency. From the smallest donations to the highest level of leadership giving, encouragement and help has come from countless members of our School community. It is gratifying to see the commitment of our current parents and that of the many alumnae, parents of alumnae, grandparents, faculty/staff and friends who have helped us to achieve nearly $1 million for our Annual Giving Campaign. We could not have accomplished all of this without the fine work of the many volunteers who helped to inspire others to join them in providing support for the School. They were tireless in their efforts to help CSG, and we offer our gratitude for their loyalty and perseverance. Thank you all for assisting this wonderful School in maintaining its celebrated profile while continuing to develop in exciting, innovative ways. Please take a look at just a few highlights and know that your funds have provided amazing opportunities for each one of our students.

2013-14 School Highlights• We celebrated our innaugural Scholars Gala in October with a crowd of 400 members of the CSG community and raised over

$244,745 in scholarships for girls who need assistance.• We completed construction and opened the doors to the new, state-of-the-art, Agnes Jeffrey Shedd Theater which holds 400

theater-goers and has equipment and programs that every student of the arts can experience, in front of a crowd or behind the scenes.

• The Program for Young Children students celebrated the 20th birthday of the Columbia House with a visit from a very special unicorn that allowed them to use their imaginations and be part of the rich CSG traditions.

• Lower School students had an opportunity to delve into the values that were most important to them as a community of learners during Counselor time. Each student started the year by reading the book, Only One You by Linda Kranz, to discuss important qualities that each person brings to the larger community. One student noted in the discussion, “If you are being someone else, you won’t experience the real you.” The girls voted on what values they wanted all Lower School students to live out at school and beyond. Each student has a significant role in creating a positive environment to learn.

• Middle School Form VIII girls from CSG and Columbus Preparatory School for Girls (CPSG) watched the documentary “Girl Rising,” a film about nine unforgettable girls living in the developing world: ordinary girls who confront tremendous challenges and overcome nearly impossible odds to pursue their dreams. Later in the week, girls from both schools shared lunch at CPSG and talked to each other about how important it is to be agents of change and take action in their own community

• The Upper School had many reasons for celebration. Nineteen percent of our graduating class earned recognition from National Merit and National Achievement, including six National Merit Finalists with one student scoring a perfect ACT score of 36. Our athletes had an amazing year and won the Central Catholic League in cross-country (ninth in state), swimming (sixth in state), and track (seventh in state). The Upper School FIRST Robotics Team had a wonderful season, highlighted by their participation in the 2014 CORI Robotics Invitational tournament at Dublin-Coffman High School, where they made it to the final round and earned a runner-up trophy.

Philanthropy of all kinds has been a hallmark of CSG since its inception: it has enabled an astonishing past and promises an equally exciting future. I am sad to leave this School that I have grown to love so dearly, but I am thrilled that it is on the brink of a new adventure with a wonderful new head and exciting new facilities to support its students and programs. As we review what we have achieved together in this past year, we can all be proud of Columbus School for Girls and of the way in which each of us has helped to keep it strong. Thank you for your dedication to CSG and to its mission.

Lovingly and Gratefully,

Head of School2009 - 2014
