Polly Joseph writes to us that her 91 year-old grandmother died last
year. Polly is living in Santa Cruz, CA, doing fine, and wondering where
in the world her peers were during last year's reunion. She will soon
be opening a pottery store, selling plants, and importing garden pottery
from all over the world! She invites every alum in the Santa Cruz area
to check out Pottery Planet and BUY! Alison Hormel Webb visited Tandem
late last year and left us with a fabulous gift: a series of photos in
which she and two others use their bodies to spell "T-A-N-D-E-M." It's
a priceless piece and you can see it on display at reunion in June. Every
once and awhile a Tandem alumni surfaces from the missing list. This
December Trina McLaughlin attended the Holiday Party and is back on the

news about several 76ers.
Donald Dreifuss:
Donald is married to Mimi Harrison
and lives in Unity, N.H. with children Max (8) and Olivia (4) where he
breeds goats and cultivates hybrid plants. Writes Diana, "it's a life
that Donald, an artist, says he finds more satisfying than competing full
time for gallery space." His goat milk can be found in the products from
Vermont Butter & Cheese Co. Diana will be visiting him this Spring while
promoting The Essential Vegetarian Cookbook. As an expert cook and cookbook
author, Diana was featured in an advertisement for Tandem which read,
"What do these three successful chefs have in common?.....Tandem."

The light bulb joke aside, one of the many concerns alumni seem to share
is that of Tandem's changing physical plant. The new Community Hall is
already in place and an athletic field house is in the works. Tandem's
little plot on the hill seems smaller and smaller as the Willow Lake housing
development creeps down the ridge. As I write this, the bulldozers turn
the red clay up on itself, preparations for the new county road moving
through the woods. Within a couple of years, the bells at Jefferson High
School will be heard through the surrounding trees. It is a little scary
to smell the burning of trees and know that the rest of the world has
finally found us tucked up on this mountain. However, I am writing this
to allay some fears, not to encourage them. Tandem has worked hard to
hold on to the land and will continue through landscaping (and beautifying)
the grounds we have. Take a look through these pages. Details on the
construction are inside (see
