Jackie St. Martin ’85 says that Cab Bennett was married in April to a local television entertainment reporter in Las Vegas, where Cab has lived for 15 years. The celebration was attended by several Mary Washington alumni including Barry McCormick, Gordon “Chip” Wood, Dan Ratner ’87 and Todd Vecchio ’87.

Patti Covington Petrone still is in Florida. She is the financial systems manager for the City of Orlando. R. Lee Wheless lives in Fredericksburg, where he is a self-employed goldsmith and gemologist. He graduated – again – from Mary Washington in May 2003 with a master’s degree in liberal studies.

Ginny McNeill Poindexter sends kudos to Chris Mastal Winicki, who has been very involved with a support group for military families. In addition to helping others, Chris managed life with three boys while her husband was deployed. Ginny is now senior trial counsel for St. Paul Travelers in Richmond. She and her husband, Gordon, an editor for Style Weekly, have two daughters and live in a 100-year-old house in the Fan District. She frequently runs into Donna Metzger Lantagne and her family.

René Thomas-Rizzo ’87 dropped a line about several members of our class, reporting that Dorothy Rounds Blagrove and husband Peter were expecting a little boy. Rene was honored to be part of Marykate Behan Dougherty’s wedding in October 2003.

Kathy Murphy Ramsey and husband Steve, as well as Helen Morrow Worst and husband Jeremy also attended the wedding. Kathy, who lives in Connecticut, has two boys who keep her very busy. Helen, who lives in Rockville, Md., works for the Food and Drug Administration. Helen and Dorothy’s husbands work for the same company.

Speaking of Connecticut, Deb Hass McKinney bumped into Lisa Harvey last winter at a UConn Huskies women’s basketball game in Hartford, Conn. It turns out that Lisa and Deb are both avid fans.

Irene Thomaidis Cimino and husband Bill took a fabulous trip to Hawaii. Tracy Greener Hollan is teaching at daughter Reagan’s school this year, and Ann Stack got married in July 2004. Lisa, Tracy, Rene and Ann rented a Delaware beach house in June along with Jocelyn Piccone Allgood, Stephanie Doswald Sebolt, Michelle Runge, Kristi Williams McCune and Brenda Thier Evans to celebrate their collective 40th birthdays.

Mina Holden Horn and husband Todd ’84, who were staying nearby with their children, Grayson, Silas and Scarlett, also joined in the week of fun. Kathy Powers Cunius ’87 made a day trip from Connecticut to visit with the crew and Kelly Suda White, who lives in nearby Salisbury, Md., dropped by. Kelly, who now has two children, operates her own day care center.
