She went on to roles on Australian TV, most notably a series called, of all things, Heartbreak High School, where she played the Principal. Her most recent foray on the big screen was in a movie called Strange Planet. Click here to watch the trailer.

The Month in Review

Here, we will post comments we've received from classmates about the activities and direction during the past month or mention some noteworthy events that occurred.

Happy Ending

Mary Shoemaker weds Stewart Mittnacht, Jr. April 10, 2004

Mary Shoemaker Mittnacht (formerly Case) and Stewart Mittnacht, Jr. had either one of the shortest or longest of courtships, depending on how it is viewed. They first met in 1972, when Stewart then a junior at Princeton University interviewed Mary then a junior at Princeton High School as a prospective American Field Service exchange student. The interview was successful in all respects Mary went with AFS to Morocco in 1973, and Mary and Stewart became fast friends, then fell in love and dated for about a year. The relationship fell victim to distance and what then seemed like an enormous age gap, as Mary went off to Harvard and Stewart graduated from Princeton (Ivy League rivalries had nothing to do with it) and started working in Philadelphia. 28 years passed with no contact.

Then on Christmas Day, 2003, Mary and her sister, Barbara Shoemaker (also a Princeton alumna) stumbled across an old picture of Stewart. In response to Marys nostalgic I wonder whats hes doing and how he is, Barbara found Stewarts email address on the Princeton alumni website and goaded Mary into sending him a note, which he received when he returned to the office on January 5. A few emails and phone calls, a get-together in New York the weekend of January 10, and the 28-year hiatus was over. They married in New York on April 10, and will reside there.

Happy Couple
