Our wonderful Alumni Coordinator Gwen Marshall is leaving the area--heading to the southwest with her husband John**--and we wish her well, and thank her for all her efforts with and on behalf of alumni in the past year.It was just announced to the FV staff a few minutes ago that a new Alumni Coordinator has been hired. Many of us know her and already admire her: she's Melissa Pauls, who, despite her young years, has been pretty much everywhere around the U.S. and done many remarkable things (even worked for the N.Y. Mets for a season). We know her from two great summers as our waterfront director and, for the summer just ended, as Assistant Program Director. (She and Kam Kobeissi--shown in the above pic with Melissa--were both Assistant Program Directors, supporting Steve Parsley as Program Director.) Melissa's got huge stores of energy and is very, very, very smart (IMHO).
I personally am looking forward to working with Melissa in her new role. I hope you will welcome her to the alumni community: mpauls [at] frostvalley [dot] org.
** John Marshall is a Frost Valley guy, too, by the way. For some years in the early 70s John was one of the program staff at the Montclair Y and, as such, was in charge of the many large weekend groups (including the father-son program called "Indian Guides") that came to the valley in those years.
