    Please be sure to submit your personal notes at the website https://apps.carleton.edu/curricular/arts/alumni/boliounews/ Alums interested in connecting with students http://apps.carleton.edu/career/students/networking/guides/ Alison’s festschrift online: https://apps.carleton.edu/kettering/ Our sincere thanks again to Kristina Eldrenkamp, ’10, who edited our alumni notes for this year. She’s at MIT working on her master’s in architecture. Department News -2013-14 Baird Jarman, Chair The biggest news from Boliou this year is the retirement of Alison Kettering. She taught her last class this past spring, appropriately one of her favorite seminars on “Rembrandt, Vermeer and Netherlandish Art.” Also in the spring, the Department and the Dean’s Office co-sponsored a retirement celebration for her, called Midwestern Arcadia. We were pleased that so many of her colleagues and students, past and present, attended this event. In conjunction with these festivities, several of Alison’s colleagues and protégés provided essays for an online festschrift, which Heidi Eyestone expertly published online. Please take a look at the result at https://apps.carleton.edu/kettering/. Special thanks to alumnae Dawn Odell and Jessica Buskirk for organizing these essay submissions. Directly relating to Alison’s retirement is the big news that we have recently completed a tenure-track search for an art historian specializing in Early Modern Europe. We were especially pleased that many of our current undergraduates actively participated in the search. Starting this fall we will be joined by Jessica Keating, who comes to us from Los Angeles, where she has just completed a two-year postdoctoral fellowship with the Early Modern Studies Institute at the University of Southern California and the Huntington Library.

I lived here my first 18 and last 3 years, and in between I came back continuously. But I really only remembered one small orchard, the one next to our house on CR85C near CR23.
