Starting with “Maus,” David Lynn ’76 is rereading — and reconsidering — books he read long…
“We need humanists conversant in AI who can critique and shape the future that AI may restructure. AI forces us to ask questions about what it means to be human.” — Professor of Comparative Literature and Humanities and Artificial Intelligence Scholar Katherine Elkins, delivering the 2023 Meredith Donovan Lecture at Mount St. Mary’s University in Los Angeles, in November

Knitting. Possibly lost in transit from a Fiber Arts Club meeting, the yarn-deprived owner described the missing craft project as being housed in a special pouch. “With a sheep on it,” of course.
A black kitten. Found wandering outside the bookstore on a cold November evening, the feline was taken in by some students for the night.
Invisalign retainers. A self-described “Tooth Cinderella” announced her discovery of the dental gear “still wet with your spit” on the path to Peirce Hall. If the correct owner didn’t come forward, the finder declared that she would “have no choice but to visit the dwelling of everyone in the kingdom and put them in the mouth of every eligible creature until I find the perfect fit.”
Make way for ducklings. A Hydro Flask water bottle, bedecked in “a plethora of stickers” that includes a flock of baby ducks, was misplaced in the library. The stickers are still at large, though there have been occasional reports of quacks in the stacks.
A plastic possum. A slightly terrifying marsupial figurine was last seen on north campus, somewhere between the first-year quad and the NCAs. “It’s actually so sentimental to me,” said the owner, offering reward money in exchange for information about the possum’s whereabouts.
A jean jacket. Last seen outside Gund Commons. In the event of foul play, the jacket’s owner offered the thief a warning. “It may seem generic,” she wrote, “but I know what my jacket looks like and will not hesitate to catch whoever is wearing my jacket on campus.” The denim garment was quickly returned.

Shelley A. Hainer, New York City, conducts sensory awareness sessions online and in person — in Berkeley, California, last spring; New York City last fall; and next fall in Spain. See Shelley’s “Leaders in the Spotlight” inter-view with the Sensory Awareness Foundation on YouTube or visit shelleyhainer.com. Shelley enjoyed meet-ing Leonie J. Deutsch, JoAnn and Christopher A. Bloom, Jeffrey A. Wolin ’72 and John M. Himmel in Chicago; Jack Y. Au and Marcia Barr Abbot in NYC; and Colleen Kelly-Eiding. “Shimmers remain in the wake of our 50th reunion afterglow. I loved being in Gambier, in the community of like-minded humans. Rekindled, refreshed and newly engaged connections with Thomas E. Allen, Katie Fishman Eastridge, Bonnie Levinson, Katherine Cushman, David W. Cronin and Kerry H. Pechter among them, and a beautiful in-person visit with my freshman advisor, Professor Emeritus Robert Bennett. As a practicing meditator of four decades, the middle way resonates powerfully with Middle Path, my time at Kenyon and beyond.”
Taryn A. Myers is now full professor and chair of the psychology department at Virginia Wesleyan University. She continues to publish scholarly journal articles, including a recent collaboration with Professor Sarah Murnen.
Kelsey (Rotwein) Schagemann sends “Greetings from Chicago! I live in the Lakeview neighborhood with my husband, Joe, and our kids Talia (just started kindergarten) and Will (3½).” Kelsey writes for colleges and universities, a higher education and nonprofit marketing company, and a regional travel magazine. “This summer, I took Talia and Will up to Michigan for an amazing beach vacation with Dylan E. Rudmann and her family. It was fantastic to chill on the beach while the kids played and had adventures. Later in July, I had a birthday party to celebrate turning 40 (how?!), and Kathryn Cameron McMillan and her boys were among the guests!”
