In addition the Nathan "Midget" Ireland and Justin Boyce, two young men who used to play realms have grown up. Nate graduated from college and Justin graduated from 8th grade with an award from the teachers at his school for best exemplifying the traits they like to see in their students. We wish them both the best.

Just a reminder that Bethany "Freesia" Tozier is skating with New Hampshire Roller Derby as "Irate Pirate" for her 6th year.  Consider checking out a game and cheering her on. They are a lot of fun.  For more information visit http://www.nhrollerderby.com/


Welcome back to Michel "Jace" Venne.  He has been doing a direct exchange from UMass Amherst to the University of Copenhagen since February.  During that time he took three classes, the main one was a Fieldwork Methods and Analysis class.  It involved a group of five students volunteering and studying at a fieldwork site. Michel's group studied the organization Trampoline House a non-profit, self-organized, user-driven culture house, where asylum seekers, Danish citizens, and anyone else can meet, share experiences, and learn from each other on equal terms.
