Kim Keim Laub ’84 with Hayden.
28
Down the road in Tulsa, Kim Keim Laub is living a great life. Married 6 years to Mike, they are having a blast with 3-yearold Hayden. There hasn’t been much peace and quiet since he was born, but Kim is loving every minute. Mike also has 12 and 10-year-old girls who visit, so their days are quite full at times. Other than her work in the lending business, Kim has a hobby of constantly doing home improvement projects. Michele Walters and her husband, Mark Carey, are busy in Arlington, VA, raising 5-year-old Matthew and 3-year-old Julia. Their trip to Bethany Beach, DE, in July was a blast with Michele’s parents, Kelsey (Price) ’61 and Roland Walters ’61, and sister Allison Walters McElhaney ’87. Michele regrets missing Laura Wilkinson Gable’s summer trip to Baltimore and Washington, DC, which led Laura to see Lisa Thompson Campbell and Lisa Larragoite Kohn.
Bryan Weidner ’84 with wife Tiffiny and their son Repp David Dean Weidner born Sept. 19. Bryan Weidner writes the cliff notes version of his life… Dartmouth, University of Pennsylvania Med School, Duke residency, stops in Seattle, Birmingham, Albuquerque… and they’ve all led him to his current role as a Pediatric Surgeon at Florida Children’s Hospital in Orlando. Dr. Weidner also has a Mrs. as of last February when he and Tiffany said I do in Fiji. New word is that they just had a baby, Repp David Dean Weidner born on Sept. 19. Bryan is the Godfather to Jay Henry’s son Lucas. And he still keeps in touch with Charlie Walker, who he spent a summer traveling with in Australia. (Charlie, I still have our prom picture!)
Mike Johnston ’84 and daughters Lilly and Abby.
Kristin Davis ’84 with daughter Lara. The big news for Kristin Davis is that she’s dating again, after finding the courage to divorce her ex after 22 years of marriage. She’s happy with her new status, but finds dating hilarious, not like it was decades ago! Kristin is working for a start-up women’s health web site called EmpowHer.com.
Also living with a new addition to his family, Mike Johnston writes from Nebraska. Lilly is now 2, joining big sis, Abby, who’s now a 7th grader. Mike sold his piece of the direct marketing business and has a new career, heading up sales for an HR outsourcing company for small businesses. Mike and Jenny will head to OKC for Thanksgiving and look forward to catching up with classmates! Sixteen years later, Traci Rose Graham is still in Houston. She and Todd are raising 3 daughters, ages 16, 13, and 10. All are athletes, so you know how Traci spends her days! Her middle child just went to Casady’s field hockey camp!
And better late than never, Suresh Dutta writes in for the 1st time! He says he’s a cancer specialist in San Antonio. (He’s being pretty modest, I must say. Just Google him.) No kids yet, he writes. Younger brother, Anil Dutta ’87, is a surgeon in San Antonio, raising a little boy and girl. Thanks for writing in Suresh. Don’t miss the next reunion! As for me, life is good after television. I am now the Chief Detail Diva (I swear, that’s what it says on my business card!) at sparkspace, the business conference center Mark started 8 years ago here in Columbus, OH. That means I am the list-maker who carries out his dreams (he’s the chief imagination officer)! Our desks touch each other, which usually makes most people say, “I could NEVER work with my husband!” But it works for us. He’s the boss at work, and I’m the boss at home, where I am loving so much extra time with our 8-year-old, Hunter, and our 7-year-old, Marissa! I can always go back to TV, but I can’t go back to their childhood. Hope you are all happy and healthy!

Shelby Sullivan 11133 Springhollow Ct. Oklahoma City, OK 73120-5057 shelbyelaine@cox.net John and Ellie Lunde Shorb had a busy summer: “Catherine, eleven in 6th grade, went to Camp Medolark in Maine for 2 weeks. John and I drove up to retrieve her and then spent a week with John’s parents in Maine. On the way back, we stopped to enjoy waterskiing with friends on Lake Winnipesaukee in New Hampshire, which was lots of fun. As of this writing, son Jack, 13 in 7th grade, is away at TASIS camp in Lugano, Switzerland. I wish I could be a camper myself – they take acting, public speaking, sports, and then they travel around Italy and Switzerland 2 days a week. Jack is loving every minute. His roommates are from China, Egypt and the Dominican Republic and he says there are few Americans there this year. Truly, he is having a fabulous experience. Longtime friends of ours celebrated their 10th anniversary in Galicia, Spain, in August, so we all went to enjoy that time with them. John is happy with the landscaping business and I have been working as chair of the 15th Annual Washington Monuments Lunch to benefit the Alzheimer’s Association to be held Nov. 12 in Washington, DC. We expect 500 folks, so I am scampering around getting
