Anne's Story
We moved away from South Orange after 7th grade, first to Valley Stream, Long Island, then to New York City, where I attended and graduated from the High School of Music and Art. I graduated from Oberlin College as a Sociology major in 1964, then obtained a second bachelor's degree in Nursing from Columbia University in 1966. From there I traveled, living and working for a year in Seattle, then 2 years in Philadelphia, where I taught Pediatric Nursing. After obtaining a master's degree in Maternal-Child Nursing from University of Colorado in Denver in 1971, I came to Madison, Wisconsin to teach Pediatric Nursing at the University of Wisconsin. I've been here ever since. In 1979 I got married to David Sulman, a physician and widower who had two young children, Rachel and Aaron. Rachel is a flutist, married and living and teaching in Jerusalem. Aaron is a physician, (Urology) married to a Pediatric ENT doctor. They live in Brookfield, WI and have 2 children, 5 year old Noah and 2 year old Jonah. David and I had another baby, Joshua, born in 1980, and then twins, Jonathan and Benjamin, born in 1983, so it was a very full and busy household.

itals and never returned to it. The demands of research, teaching and administration were too much to do along with parenting 5 kids. Jon and his wife (they met at Carleton College) now live in Minneapolis and are parents of 2 year old Eve. Ben completed his PhD in Atmospheric and Oceanic Science in May, 2012 and is currently doing a postdoc in Princeton, NJ. His girlfriend is completing her PhD in the same field. Josh has a master's degree in Botany. He and his wife live near us, and I help take care of their 2 year old twin sons, Jacob and Daniel while their parents are at work. In addition, I am an IBCLC (International Board Certified Lactation Consultant) and a La Leche League leader for a very active group of mothers all nursing twins and triplets. I serve on a number of local and statewide boards and task forces working to protect, promote and support breastfeeding. In my spare time we enjoy traveling (we are signed up to take a Road Scholar program this summer, hiking the eastern coast of Newfoundland), and participating in the U. of WI PLATO program for senior learning (Participatory Learning and Teaching Organization).
I often wonder what has become of my classmates at Montrose School. Would love to be in touch!
