From Lorna Wenzel Peachin (’73):
Hello! I am a Nottingham Alumna (class of 1973) who recently received my copy of the Nottingham Connection (thank you!)  I'm writing to give you an update on me! My name was Lorna Wenzel then (it's Lorna Peachin now) I was recently hired as Chief Librarian at the Kristine Mann Library in NYC at the Carl G. Jung Center in New York City. This is a special library focusing on the works of psychiatrist/analyst Carl Jung and consists of works of psychology, psychoanalysis, philosophy, mythology, symbolism, creativity etc. (Very cool) I am also a holistic psychotherapist (20yrs). I have my MSW from New York University (1989) and my MLIS from the Palmer School of Library Science at LIU (2007) I fondly recall my years at Nottingham and regret never being able to attend reunions..perhaps for our next one?  I can be contacted at lpeachin@wlsmail.org

Robert Streeten (’73):
I have taught American History at Corning East HS for the last 26 years, just like my hero Bob Gaw. I have also coached varsity boys’ lacrosse like my other Bulldog mentor Jim Palla. I will never forget great memories with friends like Pat Moore, Matt Steenberg, Steve Snell and so many great guys and girls from the class of 1973. I will look forward to seeing everyone at our next reunion.
