Next Reunion in 2008. Got news? Tap out a note to magazine@bates.edu! In November, Rob Center and Kay toured Botswana, Tanzania, and Kenya for a month, visiting Victoria Falls and climbing to the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro. Stateside, they are actively involved in protecting the Northern Forest Canoe Trail, 740 miles from Old Forge, N.Y., to Fort Kent, Maine.... Insurance sales keep Kaylee Masury busy but it is her extracurricular activities that she finds most rewarding. She is on the board of directors for the local affiliate of Habitat for Humanity and serves as co-chair of development. She just planned and executed her first major fund-raiser. She has also been asked to join the Cocheco Arts Festival Committee — a summer-long schedule of cultural events at Dover, N.H. In her spare time, she volunteers at Dover High School.... Martha O'Shea Staskawicz has two children in college. Son Liam will graduate from Pomona College this spring, and daughter Kerrin is a first-year student at Bates. Martha and husband Brian '74 planned to be on campus in April when Brian delivers a lecture in the biology department. They'll also have a chance to watch Kerrin play softball.... Chris Terp Madsen has joined Soleil Lifestory Network as an editor. The company helps people write their memoirs. One of its founders is Martha Blowen '75. Chris also edits all of these class notes, Class Letters, and writes the obituaries for this magazine. A fiction writer, she is working on her second novel.
