Mary currently lives in Germany with her husband, who is in the US Air Force; and they will live there until 2013. She founded the AIS-Calcutta alumni program, “GoAISC,” in March 2004 and still actively runs it single-handedly. Simultaneously, since June 2005 she has been our AIS Class of 1974 secretary, publishing class newsletters once a month - and organized their first class reunion July 2007 in Philadelphia. She created and is still the coordinator of the AIS/AES Alumni Class Secretaries Program. She took the lead as the reunion manager for the AIS/AES Alumni Association-hosted 2010 All-Classes Reunion, which was very successful. Read more about Mary.

During her total six years spent in India (in two increments, 1963-65 and 1970-74), Julie and her family (siblings Kathy, '71; Eric '74, and Robin '76) took in as many signs and sounds of the country as possible.
