of the Child Drama Program, began a
new career at Siena Heights this fall as
Dean of Students. In the new position,
Trudy—who has worked with Siena
students in the classroom and on stage
for 30 years—oversees a variety of
programming for students, working with
athletics, campus ministry, residence
life, counseling, campus wellness, and
student activities. Trudy sees the job as
an expansion of her role as teacher. “I
hope to reach a much larger number of
students and to explore how Siena students can be a positive presence in this
community in a much greater way.”

sons Jay (14) and Conner and Cameron
(12-year-old twins). All four kids play
baseball (or softball) and basketball, as
well as other sports and activities. John
reports: “We spend most of our vacations
doing travel baseball and basketball with
the kids. Kim is an elementary special
education teacher, so summers are free
to have lots of fun. I’m looking forward
to seeing some of my teammates from
my SHU years in basketball, baseball,
cross country and tennis.”
1980s
Mary Ann Linehan McRobert ’79 of
Adrian writes: “I am sorry that I won’t
be able to join in the Alumni Weekend
festivities. I will be in Chicago with my
daughter, Michele, and her family. She
is expecting twins in August and already
has 18 month old twin girls. Retirement
has been great after 20 years as a social
worker and another 20 years as a registered nurse. My husband, Roger, died
two years ago. I am blessed with a wonderful family and friends who have been
so supportive. I enjoy volunteer work and
my winters in Florida.”
Rachel DeLine Tobar ’79 met her husband, Carlos, while teaching school in
Quito, Ecuador. “Returned to Michigan
in 1985. Started a custom printing and
graphic design company called Good
Impressions Graphics here in Adrian in
1989. We have many good clients in the
Adrian area. I have two children, Ben,
who just completed his freshman year at
Kendall College of Art and Design, and
Lydia, who is in her freshman year at
Spring Arbor University as an elementary
education major.”
Lucia Westgate ’79/MA writes: “I’ve been
the teacher and program director at
Blissfield Preschool Cooperative Nursery for 16 years. Those classes are in the
morning and the afternoons I substitute
at various Lenawee County Schools.”
