Karen (Kistner) Morris :: Steve and I just finished shooting an independent film called The Assistants. It was written and directed by Steve, who is also editing the film. I was the casting director and a producer on it. We had an amazing cast comprised of a bunch of young actors who you probably would not recognize, and rounded out by Joe Mantegna, Jane Seymour and Stacy Keach. We are just getting started on the post-production process and hope to get a cut done soon to start shopping around on the festival circuit.

Lindsay Firth :: I’m living in Oakland and working in San Francisco. I’ve been in corporate-landia for almost three years now, prior to which I was an avowed nonprofitista with some grad school thrown in for good measure. I find ways to alleviate my existential anxiety by volunteering for cool causes, traveling, exploring art, community, and spirituality, making music, reading, laughing hard, and spending time with my dear ones.
1996
Saheli Datta :: I teach chemistry and physics at Athenian! Bruce Hamren shows me how to blow things up and Megan Leich ’94 gives me pointers on just about everything. It’s a little crazy to be back, but surprisingly fun — if also surprisingly busy. Previously I was a business reporter at TimeInc’s Business 2.0 (now folded into Fortune Magazine), with a stint of freelancing before that and a year in journalism school before that. Still very interested in writing and journalism. Please look me up if you’re in town or in Berkeley, where I live.

I have spent my first summer working for two constitutional law professors on issues of children’s rights, abortion and city/state relations. Additionally, I am training for the Chicago Marathon and continue to ride and train horses as my schedule allows.
