Columbia University-Presbyterian Hospital Summer 2010School of Nursing Alumni Association, Inc. Vol. 103, No. 1

Stepping off the elevator at the New York Athletic Club, we spotted a manikin dressed in a

blue and white striped uniform with a starched white bib and apron, its nurse’s cap displayed on its right shoulder. The sight brought back memories of fifty-three years ago when we were in Maxwell Hall as students. Today we gathered for our 50th reunion and the 117th Annual Meeting and Reunion.

What a significant day for the Class of 1960, marking fifty years since each of us received our diploma in the hospital garden and our degree at the University campus! Truly this was a

day of celebration for fifty-six of us from the class, along with members of other classes. Unfortunately, two of our classmates had to cancel at the last moment. Nineteen states were represented, with one member traveling from far away London.

The business meeting highlighted the Distinguished Alumni Awardees -Barbara Whelan Decker and Virginia Schulz Humphrey of our class. This year there were ten scholarship students, eight currently at Columbia. Our own Dr. Mathy Mezey’60 presented the keynote address, challenging us to look to our history, our present, and our

future with her message: “Aging Baby Boomers: Can We Help Them?”

5x7’s. Enjoy viewing the events of the day while selecting photos to remember our special time together.

Luncheon gave us the opportunity to renew old friendships, revisit our stories of student days, and recognize those who worked so diligently planning the wonderful celebration. The luncheon buffet was delicious and accompanied by laughter and energetic conversations.

Following lunch, a few class members made a private visit to the new Morgan Stanley Children’s Hospital walking through PH’s hallways we knew so well years ago. As we left, we once again saw the words carved over the entrance, “From The Most High Cometh Healing.” The group also visited the Georgian, home to the School of Nursing where we discovered talismans that reached back to our student days. Remember the stately mahogany clock that stood near the sign-in desk of Maxwell Hall? The beautiful picture Jean Monahan’s mother painted, “Senior Seminar”? Seven of our classmates are in her painting: Pam Scott Heydon, Patricia Gleason Daugharty, Margaret McEvoy, Jean Monahan Kelly, Yvonne Corpuz Conrad, Lois Mueller Glazier, and Paula Grossman Mosher. For years it hung in Maxwell Hall’s dining room. For those remaining at the NYAC, two videos were shown, one of the Class of 1960 and the other “Nurses of Valor” followed by a wine and cheese and the day was almost over.

Well, almost…Peggy McEvoy invited our class members to join her at her home, not far from the UN, allowing us to visit with each other a little longer. It was a lovely night spent with dear friends, enjoying delicious food under the stars of the City. What a grand finale to a wonderful day! Thank you, Peggy. For those of you who could not be with us, we want you to know that you were present in our minds as we reviewed our class Memory Book. It is our hope that you might join us for the next alumni celebration.

For all of those that missed the 117th reunion of this Association, you really missed it! As you can see, the Class of 1960 is tying the record of alumni returning to the

reunion, both had 56 attending. Had not two cancelled for health reasons, they would have been ahead. Members of the next 50-year classes are gearing up already for their big day; will they set a new record?

It is my hope that this coming year we can see substantial progress in joining the two alumni associations in some way. We have already met the new Dean and she comes to our School with excellent credentials and collegial support. When she arrives in the fall we are eager to speak with her to determine her interest and concerns and to share ours.

On another note, if you read the Class Notes, you cannot help but be impressed with your “Neighbors!” From every class there are demonstrations of altruism, successful families and alumni that did it all – career, family and community service. It is a legacy worth noting. Of particular interest were the Class Notes from 1942. When we think we are getting on in years, we just have to look and see what wonderful role models they are for successful aging and contributions to society. Imagine celebrating your 70th as did Lee Lane and Eva Ketzel this year when they attended the 2010 Reunion!

Lee KUHNT Lane and Eva KOHLER Etzel came down from Connecticut to share their 70th reunion with us! With them came wonderful stories - of World War II, the School and its faculty and what nursing was like post war and beyond. What a treat it was to have them!

AADDISTINGUISHED ALUMNI

AWARDS

Barbara Whalen Decker’60Distinguished Alumni Award in Nursing Education

An inspired educator, Dr. Barbara Decker is recognized as one of the leading educators in the field of midwifery. She has influenced the

practice of nurse-midwifery through education, innovation, curriculum development, distance learning programs, academic administration, and policy and accreditation activities. A variety of nursing positions provided a base for her career in nurse-midwifery education defined as a steady trajectory of leadership in this field. As faculty of the Columbia’s School of Nursing in 1976 she was an active participant in School committees and assumed leadership in revising the graduate curriculum and shaping one of the largest and most respected nurse-midwifery programs in the country. She also developed a part-time program for those unable to pursue full-time study, enabling physically disabled students to become nurse-midwives, and increased access of foreign-educated midwives to US nurse-midwifery practice. As Program Director, Barbara joined both a regional consortium for education in Nurse-Midwifery and the national program directors group, participating in developing nurse-midwifery education on a national level.

During her career, Barbara Decker’s commitment to her students has motivated and enabled them to become excellent and competent nurse-midwives and many are now leaders in education and clinical practice. She served on the National Education Committee of the American College of Nurse Midwives from 1981-1995, chairing the Committee for nearly a decade. Under her leadership the committee revised core competencies for nurse-midwifery practice for the first time and this document is the basis for accreditation of nurse-midwifery programs across the country. In 1981, the Education Committee also developed criteria for accreditation of distance learning programs and innovative programs in nursing education. An active member of the Division of Accreditation and member of

the Board of Review, Barbara also was a site visitor with the responsibility of reviewing and evaluating midwifery education programs in the United States. Always to be counted on to mentor and support colleagues, she willingly shares her experiences with others, understanding the larger accreditation issues.

In 1986, Barbara became a Yale University faculty member. In 1989, she earned her Ed.D. from Teachers College and in 1990 she became the Director of the Nurse-Midwifery Program, Primary Care Division at Yale. At Columbia and Yale, Barbara designed self-directed learning modules which supplemented classroom seminars and care presentations in conjunction with problem-solving patient management approaches. A proponent of mastery learning, she demonstrated that her students are to be respected for their ability to manage and direct their own learning. In 1997, she joined a clinical practice in women’s health as well as serving as a Midwife Tutor for the Institute of Midwifery, Women and Health, Philadelphia College. Her work in the community after retirement is also remarkable. Barbara serves, by appointment of the Mayor, as a Commissioner for the Stamford, CT Health Commission. She has also been teaching English as a Second Language in Stamford.

Barbara’s resume simply says ‘retired nurse midwife and educator’. Very few Nurse-Midwives have achieved as much as Barbara in her chosen field. We are particularly proud to bestow on Dr. Barbara Whalen Decker the Distinguished Alumni Award for Nursing Education for her numerous and substantial contributions to nurse-midwifery education.

SUMMER 201012

Virginia (Ginny) Shultz Humphrey is truly a powerful advocate for nursing and home health care - an innovator, energetic leader and a steadfast proponent

of home care, hospice care, community, and public health nursing. By example, she created and promoted a culture of caring and excellence in every position she held, traversing her illustrious career. When not administering home health care agencies, she was lobbying either at the Legislative offices in Hartford CT or in the Congressional offices in Washington. As the Executive Director of the Connecticut Association for Home Care, colleagues are in awe of her leadership, one saying that Ginny had responsibility for serving the interests of nearly 100 diverse members of the home care association as well as advancing its interests. Humphrey is respected for her ability to be persuasive, especially when dealing with lawmakers, power brokers, business leaders, and other people of influence.

Ginny served on the Columbia University School of Nursing Board of Directors and the Yale University Public Health Alumnae Association, having completed the MPH degree from the Yale University School of Epidemiology and Public Health and has received much recognition from public health associations and her various awards. She has had the ultimate administrative authority and responsibility for the hospice home health care services provided by VNA. Under Ginny’s leadership, positive change and clinical protocols led VNA to be the first Medicare Certified Hospice Home Health agency in the State of Connecticut.

We are delighted with this year’s scholarship winners – ten in all and eight of them are attending Columbia! Stephanie Bellini, Danielle Foti,

Tarquin Gil-Kehoe, Karen Hiensch, Joanne Kim, Tiffany Lai, Sara Markt, Nicholas Perrino, Meghan Vita, and Kathy Wu.

Almost all of this year’s recipients completed the Entry to Practice Program (ETP) and are continuing on to Master’s Degree program this fall. They hail from undergraduate programs as near as New York, Vermont and New Jersey and as far away California.

The experience they bring to nursing is also quite diverse; some have been in management and consulting, one graduated magna cum laude from the Fashion Institute of Technology, and one graduated cum laude with a degree in Fine Arts.

Their academic achievements are also numerous and include various publications and presentations. One recipient was also awarded the Excellence in Childbearing Families

S C H O L A R S H I P W I N N E R S

A dynamic leader, with strengths in leading change, managing teams, listening and respecting thoughts of others, superior communication skil ls , fortitude to achieve desired results; these qualities define her style of administration. Throughout her successful career, she consistently demonstrated an ability to understand and articulate the importance of creating an optimal patient experience. She is a people-person whose communication and collaboration skills and commitment to nursing and to the health of the community are unmatched. In retirement, Ginny aspires to use her clinical and administrative skills to address the nursing shortage and other health/home care issues when she performs clinical audits of a statistical sampling of emergency room patients receiving free care at all hospitals in Massachusetts for the Massachusetts Office of the Inspector General.

A notable career in home care administration and practice – a distinguished career in Nursing; it is our privilege to recognize and celebrate the career of Virginia Shultz Humphrey. The Columbia University-Presbyterian Hospital School of Nursing Alumni Association is proud to call you our own. Thank you for honoring us.

award, presented to one student who excelled in Women’s Health Nursing at Columbia.

Two candidates are working on their Master’s degrees at other universities. Danielle Foti is pursuing a MSN as an Adult Nurse Practitioner in Cardiovascular Care at Duke University and Nicholas Perrino is in the MS program at the University of Wisconsin at Milwaukee.

and lived in Hartford prior to moving to Simsbury 60 years ago. Virginia first worked as a visiting nurse in Hartford, later at the Simsbury Visiting Nurses Association; she also worked as a nurse with Upjohn. She was also a dancer on a Scottish country dance demonstra-tion team, a hiker in the Marching and Chowder Society and a ringer in the First Church hand-bell choir. She vol-unteered with the Girl Scouts, Roaring Brook Nature Center in Canton, the Simsbury Historical Society, and the Simsbury Public Library. She was an avid bird watcher and greatly enjoyed traveling, hiking, ice-skating, swim-ming and beachcombing. Besides her husband of 60 years, she is survived by her daughter and son-in-law, Allen and Richard O’Brien; her son and daughter-in-law, Philip and Alina Knight; three grandchildren.She was predeceased by her son, Christopher Knight.

1946Patricia HAYES Keough - “When I read your call for old PH uniforms I was delighted. After 57 years and raising six children in this house I am finally selling and moving to an apart-ment; my husband died four years ago. Downsizing is a tremendous challenge - especially parting with my PH uni-forms. If you remember, PH had the unique tradition that graduates continue to wear their stripes, but with changes to indicate their status e.g. a gathered apron, white cuffs, and of course white shoes and stockings. Only if you were a head nurse (or more) did you wear a white uniform. These came in two choices. I have wonderful, happy memories of student days in Maxwell Hall and then as a graduate living in Harkness Hall. I was head nurse on PH9W (H West when we arrived in 1943). My very best wishes to all, and have a grand reunion.

1948Virginia DRUGG - “I am retired on Social Security and small annuities

from previous employment. I live in Seattle and enjoy it very much. I was born and raised in Alaska and like to be close enough to that state that friends from Alaska can visit me fairly easily if they are “coming outside” - which was the expression when I was living in Sitka and Alaska was not yet a state but a territory of the United States. I keep busy with my friends and my church. Still singing in the choir and enjoying it very much.”

1949Mary Jane WHITESELL Mogavero - died on April 17, 2010. She is survived by one daughter, three sons and eleven grandchildren. She was predeceased by her husband of 58 years. She joined the Navy WAVES in November 1944, and served as a Pharmacist First-Class at Bethesda and Bainbridge Naval Hospitals during World War II. After her discharge in 1947 graduated from Columbia University - Presbyterian Hospital School of Nursing. She was employed as a registered nurse by Mary Imogene Bassett Hospital in Cooperstown, New York and then the University of Cincinnati, Wyoming Medical Center, in Cincinnati OH. She volunteered in the St. Petersburg (FL) Beach City Offices for many years; she also volunteered at the Gulf Beaches Historical Museum.

1950Virginia JONES Derderian - “I am alive, well and retired. Best wishes to all. ”

1951Patricia BRISCALL Hennie - Pat’s son, Chip Lanfer wrote to tell us that, “Pat passed away January 3rd, 2010. We will miss her dearly.”

1953Isabel TOTTEN McLendon - “I live in an independent living retirement and life care community in Wilmington NC. I am blessed to have my three sons and their families also living in Wilmington.”

1954Helen SEARLS De Groot - “We have five children (two doctors) and 11 grandchildren. Dr. DeGroot and 81 is editing two website textbooks and one written Endocrine text I am busy and healthy at 80.”

1955Mary MARCELON Avallone - “Sorry I won’t be able to attend our 55th! Duty calls at the Durmont Animal Hospital where I currently work for my son-in-law. We are enjoying our 15 grandchildren ranging in age from two years old to 20! That’s the secret for staying young!”

Gail GANTER Meier - “We are hap-pily retired in Florida enjoying the sunshine and friends. Our three chil-dren: Linda Meier, RN working at San Francisco State University, Richard Andrew Meier working in PA, and Carol Frank Meier working for IBM in the Baltimore area. Husband, Carl, a retired physician and teacher of Family Physicians at Somerset Medical Center, Somerset, NJ, is now involved in our church.”

She was born Au-gust 14, 1936 in Brooklyn, New York and spent most of her early years with her family in Lynbrook, New York. Poppy attended Mary Washington Col-lege, Fredricksburg, VA and graduated from Columbia University School of Nursing in 1959.

Poppy remained in the Boston area for more than thirty years and together with Karl raised her five children there. She worked from time to time as a school nurse and in retirement homes. She loved her patients, young and old. Later Poppy moved with her husband to Binghamton, New York and finally retired to Tucson in 2001 where two of her children resided. She was a remarkable woman dearly loved by all who knew her.

Jennifer HOFFMAN Mangles - “I retired in 2006 after 40 years of criti-cal care nursing, 24 in a busy ER. Our youngest son Christopher died in 2007 and is survived by two brothers. I am currently at home caring for my hus-band and two great-grandkids.”

professor in the honors college/FIU for Advanced Students learning the art world. His three children, all to go to Italy for three weeks in May and three months in France -- his summer schedule.

Nell VAN WIE Eden - “We have five married children and 13 wonderful grandchildren.”

Mathy DOVAL Mezey - “Andy and I celebrated our 50th wedding anni-versary this past August with a small party of family and friends (I was one of the first in our class to get married in August of our senior year). We split our time between our house in Ardsley NY and a small apartment in Greenwich Village. Our four daughters, all now in their 40s (!), work (a pediatrician, lawyer, administrator for programs in alcohol and drug abuse, and sociology professor) and live within 90 minutes traveling time from us, so we see them often. Our nine grandchildren range in age from 24 to 9 years old, with all but three of college age. Andy and I each work three days a week (more below) and, luckily continuing to enjoy good health, travel quite a bit. Since 2002, we have ramped up our lifelong interest in hiking, climbing Kilimanjaro, and hiking in the Everest region of Nepal, in Machu Picchu, and in Patagonia. We spend two months in France near my family every three years. This Febru-ary, we snow-shoed in Yellowstone. I have been on the faculty of the NYU College of Nursing since 1991, becom-ing Emerita and moving to three days a week in 2006. Since 1996 I have directed the Hartford Institute for Geri-atric Nursing (for anyone interested, see our websites; www.HartfordIGN.org and www.ConsultGeriRNJerryRand.org). My job allows me to continue to sit on national committees, participate

in grants and publish, but because I am not teaching, it provides the flexibility to spend time with family and to travel. I continue my over 15 years of service on the board of the Visiting Nurse Service of New York, now chairing their executive committee. Andy sees patients and teaches nurse practitioner and medical students and house staff at Maimonides Hospital in Brooklyn.

1961Isabel MCALOON Conroy - “Sorry to miss the reunion, already talk-ing up our next one (50 years). I’m having company from England who can’t attend this year. On a sad note, my husband of 48 years passed away 2/6/08 as a result of a car accident in Florida. Most of you remember him as I was married as a senior and gradu-ated being pregnant. We all miss him as he was bigger than life and most of the time jovial. My three children have produced seven grandchildren and only one granddaughter. She, the oldest, is a second-year student at the University of Illinois and doing well. The other six boys age from 18 to 9 and are all involved with various sports and school related affairs (band, plays, honor society etc.). I’m blessed to have my daughter only one and a half miles from me. She keeps me busy with her family and dog. I also volunteer at a local thrift shop and that keeps me in touch with people and makes me smile and laugh a lot. Hope you all have a wonderful day at the Reunion and am looking forward to the 2011 Reunion.”

Doris WALDRON Leech - “Bob and I were married in 1965. Our son,

SUMMER 201016

Seth, was born in 1970. I worked in all kinds of nursing, last was as manager of a home health nursing organization. Seth is now married with two children, Isabella 11, Ryan 7. I put together a health program for a company in New York City, and was assistant director of nursing for a hospital in New Jersey. While our son was a baby, I took home decoration courses. While we lived in La Jolla CA I did all kinds of decorating for clients, wall covering, furniture, and beautiful Chinese rugs.”

Carol MCKINNIE Rodseth writes, “Until my retirement in 2004, I worked as the Director of Community Edu-cation & Program Development for the Visiting Nurses Association in Santa Barbara, California, as well as in the Parish Nursing Program at St. Francis Hospital in Santa Barbara. I was a “stay at home” Mom, raising 3 children prior to that. They have given me seven grandchildren. I married my current husband, Richard, six years ago and moved to Minnesota. We have a blended family of seven children and 13 grandchildren.

1962Diana VIETOR Mundy - “Currently have four grandchildren - Two live in Australia with our son and daughter-in-law (boy 4, girl 2). The other two

(girls 5 + 2) live in Stamford CT with our daughter and son-in-law. I live in northwest Connecticut with my hus-band and two parrots.”

1963Clare WARREN Gordon - “Married in 1965 - two daughters, Jennifer and Allison. Two grandchildren, Connor and Madeline live 15 minutes away from us. Retired from nursing in 2005 - worked part-time in the emergency department at Children’s Hospital

Los Angeles for 23 years. Worked in three private pedi-atric offices before retiring. I volunteer at the Pasadena Hu-mane Society and the Pasadena Police Department.

Anne ALBIEZ-Clocher - “Sorry to miss our 40th Reunion, but will be in St. Martin with two grandsons and their parents. Enjoying having five grand-

sons and one granddaughter, McKenna. Her mom is a nurse too. I will be pre-senting again at the regional Perinatal Consortium of Monmouth and Ocean Counties NJ. With my psychiatric NP and my substance-abuse certification, LCADC, the past 40 years of nursing were between mental health and addic-tion. Never dull!

Suzanne M. SAVOY - “Defended dissertation on March 16, 2010. As of graduation from Loyola Univer-sity Chicago on May 13 will be “Dr. Savoy”. Thank you for the graduate scholarship. It really helped. Disserta-tion title was, “Depressive Symptoms in Women Being Screened for Cardio-vascular Disease.”

Olga BROWN Vanderpool will be honored in June at the Yale School of Public Health Alumni Day 2010 as the distinguished award recipient of the Public Service Honor Roll. She received her MPH at Yale in 1974.

Mary Sue MARBURGER Hunia - “Living half the year in Fort Myers FL, half the year in Bloomfield MI. Please call and visit if you are ever in either area. Also, from the class of 1970, Suzanne Savoy very recently was granted her PhD from Loyola Univer-sity in Chicago.

Cynthia BOYD Tuck - “Great reunion with 14 members of the class of 1970! 40 years! There were 56 members of the class of 1960s so we have a ways to go in 10 years to involve more members!! I still live in Zanesville OH where I work as a PNP for a federally qualified health center. My husband, Rick, is a pediatrician. Our three daughters are grown and involved in their busy lives in Washington, DC, San Diego, and Richmond VA. It’s a wonderful life!!

Nancy SWENGEL Wilson - “Great to be at our 40th reunion! Let’s get our whole class to #45.”

They’re already looking forward to their 50th Reunion. Members of the Class of 1961, Patti SMITH Langley, Carol MCKINNIE Rodseth, and Barb DALE Carter, got together in North Carolina with Meredith RAPP (not pictured).

Sending your remittance by check will help us to avoid those pesky fees. Thank you for your cooperation.

MOVINGWe have changed our address to 7070 Xavier Drive, Suite 314, Yonkers NY 10704 –but it is only a change of num-bers not of places. Please make note of the change and be sure to let us know if you change your mailing address.

We are a transient society, changing ad-dresses, phone numbers and email ad-dresses frequently. Unfortunately, we do not have enough staff to keep track of where everyone goes, so would you help us out and let us know your new addresses if you are moving, please? It costs a great deal to do the mailings only to have the returned because the addressee is no longer there.

One alumnus returning for the reunion summed up what our Alumni Association is all about:

My gratitude goes to all those who were responsible 50 years ago for our graduating with such in-depth knowledge and experience and, more importantly, with the ability to think and to ask the how and why questions. I especially echo the statement of Louise Malarkey who said, “We all can feel proud to belong to an association that has an impressive heritage and unique history of helping fellow alumni.” Thanks to all who “promote the fellowship.”
