Responses continue at a steady pace, with five more alumni checking in. Steve Kerwin is still working in the energy industry and getting his son (and his checkbook) ready for college. Ann Pope is very recently retired from Bay State and is looking forward to spending time with the grandkids and traveling the world. Gerry Doherty is still technically not an alumnus but, with his close to 30 years of service, who's complaining. He brings us up to date on his family, work, and volunteer efforts. Kristin DeSousa is also still working in the energy business, raising a family, and contemplating a return to school. And Wayne Jewett brings us up to date on his kids, his chores, and his work. A big Thank You to Wayne for providing the emails of so many of our alumni, allowing us to spread the word about the site.
