In February, he wrote, “My last day was two weeks ago. I plan to take my boat on a one-year sailing trip beginning in April 2014. It will entail taking the Intracoastal Waterway from
Texas, around Florida, and up the East Coast to Massachusetts, or at least to Long Island Sound. When fall approaches, I’ll head back south in order to be in Florida at the end of hurricane season. I’ll then hop over to the Bahamas and spend the winter cruising in the Caribbean. I am also investigating various non-profits that I can devote my time to when I return from my trip.”

an independent school. Alixe wrote, “Although we are bummed to be leaving Concord and our jobs and lives here, it is an incredible opportunity for our family. Instead of four of us heading out in four different directions every morning, the boys and I will walk across the street from our on-campus housing to school. Ace is going to take a six-to-12 month sabbatical in order to get us settled (which will be no small feat) and then will begin to explore opportunities in the area for himself. The school is a dream. Ace described it as ‘Brown University in a high school’—pretty much the best compliment I can imagine! The chance to be part of the leadership of a school like that is a wonderful professional opportunity. To have our boys, Zander (12) and Miles (10), there is an incredible bonus. We don’t imagine that we are leaving the East Coast for good. Certainly, we will back every summer for as much time as possible. And then who knows where we will go next? For the moment we are thinking about this as a five-year adventure. With the boys the ages they are, it seems the perfect time to do it. We look forward to lots of hiking, camping, sailing, kite boarding, kayaking, cross country skiing, or mountain biking, and hope that many of you will come out and join us on these adventures.”
