REUNION UPDATES

ALISON BAKER ’95 reports that her daughter has just completed her first year in Life Sciences at Trinity.

SUE TAYLOR ’92 writes: In June 2023, I left my full-time job at Meta as Chief Accounting Officer to spend more time with my parents, who were then still living in B.C. I continue to pursue a semi-retired portfolio career as an Independent Board member of Pure Storage. After a spectacular year of travel in 2024, my long-time partner, Sam, and I plan to spend more time close to home and working on our golf handicaps. I likely will not make it to the 9T0 reunion but wish you all the best.

THE REV’D BOB BETTSON ’75; MDiv ’01 writes: I am a retired priest living in Toronto. Previously I had a 20-year career in journalism. I have been ordained for 24 years, now serving in my sixth appointment as interim priest in charge of the Toronto Diocese of the Anglican Church of Canada.
