Rosemary Nesbitt was honored on Saturday, May 3 at a banquet in celebration of her retirement as the H. Lee White Marine Museum's Founding Director. In the late 1970's the Port Authority of Oswego charged Mrs. Nesbitt to "oversee the creation of the museum" and she was appointed to the position of museum director. The museum opened in the summer of 1982. Mrs. Nesbitt's interest in preserving and promoting local and regional history, her gifts as a storyteller and her personal vision that helped to shape the unique collection made her the ideal driving force for this endeavor. Over 100 people attended the banquet in Mrs. Nesbitt's honor at King Arthur's Restaurant. Among the many accolades of the evening, Mayor Randy Bateman proclaimed the day to be Rosemary Nesbitt Day in the City of Oswego and the Port of Oswego Authority made her an honorary Harbormaster. Mrs. Nesbitt will continue to serve the museum as an ex-officio member of the museum board.

Sandy Sternlicht continues to teach American, British, and Irish drama in Syracuse University's English Department. In May he was one of three adjudicators (one from Ireland, one from Canada, and Sandy) at the 15th Annual Acting Irish Theatre Festival held this time in the GEVA Theatre in Rochester, NY. 10 Irish plays from companies in the three countries were adjudicated and prizes awarded. Connor McPherson was strongly represented. Early this year Sandy's recent critical study MASTERPIECES OF BRITISH AND IRISH DRAMA (Greenwood, 2005) was republished in China in a paperback with the original English text and Chinese notations. The publisher is the University of Renmin Press (Beijing). Having directed Cabaret some 25 years ago at Oswego, (with Soluri, Minchner, Medici, and Macey doing their stuff), Sandy came up to see the new Oswego production in May and enjoyed it very much. Regards to all.

Jon & Carol Vermilye would like to announce they finally have a grand daughter - Valerie App, born December 18th, 2007. Like everything else, photos are on the website at http://lakeshoreimages.com/valerie.html

Other than that, not many changes from last year. Although still on oxygen, Carol is doing well, and we plan to spend early August in Nantucket with Don & Anne Guido.
