Georgia
Lyman:
1991
Georgia Lyman starred as Maggie in the Lyric Stage Company production of Tennessee Williams's ''Cat on a Hot Tin Roof.'' (From the Boston Globe 2/18/09): "Lyman's Maggie is often just mesmerizing to watch. Maggie's expert baiting of Brick (and her undisguised glee when, in a rare outburst, he responds to it), her cruelly funny imitations of her nasty-sweet sister-in-law, her physical longing for the husband she knows doesn't want her - Lyman finds specific, precise, and fully believable ways to inhabit each of these mercurially shifting moods. She is, as Maggie must be, absolutely pulsing with life. Link

Doug
Corey:
1977
(From Brooke Corey ’81):
It is with great sadness we report the passing of Douglas MacKenzie Corey, FSS ’77, who died unexpectedly on December 17, 2008, at home in Arlington, MA.
He is survived by his parents, Donald and Susan (Duerfeldt) Corey of Bedford, MA; two brothers, Matthew Corey of Los Angeles, CA, and Peter Corey of Lunenburg, MA; a sister, Brooke Corey of Jamaica Plain, MA; his close companion, Donna Little; and a number of aunts, uncles and cousins.
Douglas was a graduate of Bedford High School and earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Resource Management from the University of Rhode Island. He worked on environmental remediation of properties contaminated with oil or hazardous materials and on cleanup of spills of such materials. He was licensed as a Hazardous Waste Site Cleanup Professional (LSP) by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, and managed a number of such projects during his career.
His favorite hobby was barbequing with the Bastey Boys, a local group that had won awards in barbeque competitions in recent years throughout the country. In accordance with his wishes, tissue donations were made to the N.E. Organ Bank to hopefully save or reduce the suffering of others.
In consideration of his lifelong concern for the care of animals, donations in his name may be made to animal rescue organizations such as MSPCA-Angell, 350 S. Huntington Ave., Boston, MA 02130, or Animal Rescue League of Boston, 10 Chandler St., Boston, MA 02116.

Alexis:
1969
I'm 46, and editor of the Tampa Bay Business Journal. Blessed to have had a lot of exciting experiences in a range of media, from photography and film to journalism, radio and TV. Was at Fayerweather in the year at the Armenian Church in Watertown and then watched the school being built in Cambridge...my mom played a role as an admin. Had some formative memories, especially as it relates to experiences like drama, dance and watching Apollo missions on small TVs. Felt like reaching back a little. Thanks.
