64 Student Essay

Connor Fitzgerald ’16, now a student at Bates College in Maine, wrote this sparkling personal reflection on his childhood for his college applications.

OUR MISSION In 1896, the Rev. John Byron Diman, founder of St. George’s School, wrote in his “Purposes of the School” that: “the specific objectives of St. George’s are to give its students the opportunity of developing to the fullest extent possible the particular gifts that are theirs and to encourage in them the desire to do so. Their immediate job after leaving school is to handle successfully the demands of college; later it is hoped that their lives will be ones of constructive service to the world and to God.” As we begin the 21st century, we continue to teach young women and men the value of learning and achievement, service to others and respect for the individual.

We believe that these goals can best be accomplished by exposing students to a wide range of ideas and choices in the context of a rigorous curriculum and a supportive residential community. Therefore, we welcome students and teachers of various talents and backgrounds, and we encourage their dedication to a multiplicity of pursuits—intellectual, spiritual and physical—that will enable them to succeed in and contribute to a complex, changing world.

LETTER FROM HEAD OF SCHOOL ERIC PETERSON

st. george’s school

//

Thanks to You

FA L L 2 0 1 6

Looking out across the sweeping curve of sea and sand that brackets the eastern edge of campus, I am reminded of the ways in which the passage of time is visible in the world around us. The day’s tides rise and fall, the sunrise moves southward along the horizon through the fall and back towards north as the spring unfolds – each year leads on to the next. In this, my 13th and final year as head of school, I am especially mindful of the rhythm of the years, and of the ways in which time passes on even as the school itself endures and evolves.

The year gone past has been a challenging one in many ways for St. George’s, as we sought to understand the truth of our history as fully as possible, and to attend as best we could to the needs of our alumni. Facing these difficult and painful aspects of our past has not been easy, but in the end it has made us a stronger school, and has helped underscore the efforts we have made over many years to bolster and support the safety of our students and to encourage a community culture of kindness and respect.

At the same time, last year was a tremendously successful one as well. Our admissions numbers were exceptionally strong, and we opened the year slightly overenrolled with some of the most highly qualified new students in our history.

We had an excellent year in college admissions, with graduates enrolling at many of the most selective colleges and universities in the nation, and we had what was probably the most successful athletic year in St. George’s history with two New England Championships (football and girls hockey), a national championship (sailing), and five ISL league MVPs. We opened the new academic center, rolled out unique curricular

01

programs like SGx and continued to be one of the most innovative, leading schools in the world.

All of these accomplishments have been made possible in some measure by the incredible support of those donors listed in our annual report.

No matter the measure of an individual contribution, all of our parents, alumni, faculty, staff and friends who donated to the school have helped every student at the school gain access to the classes, skills, experiences and perspectives that will enable them to live the “lives of constructive service” imagined in our mission, and for this we are thankful to you beyond measure. I am also grateful to have witnessed throughout my time here at St. George’s the incredible bonds that endure among our alumni, and I hope you enjoy catching up on news from your classmates and fellow Dragons in the Class Notes that follow the Report of Donors in this publication.

So, as my family and I prepare to say farewell to the Hilltop, we do so with deep gratitude for the opportunities we have had to contribute to the rhythm and work of the school across the years. The tides and months and years have rolled past, and sunset approaches. That said, it has been the singular privilege of my professional life to serve this school, and I know it will remain a part of me, my family and our hearts forever. I thank all of you for your support, encouragement and friendship over so many years. 

The school is eternally grateful for any and all giving, to be sure, but when a donor’s participation spans five or more years of uninterrupted support, the message is clear: St. George’s matters and it matters all the time.

Recognition is based on gifts and pledge payments received for five consecutive fiscal years, July 1 through June 30; unpaid pledges are not counted. Recognition remains in place until a fiscal year passes in which the donor does not make a gift to St. George’s. These special alumni donors are recognized with a ◆ (5–9 years), ◆ (10–19 years), or ◆ (20+ years) after their name.

There are only two surviving members of the Class of 1939 — just Lynde McCormick and me. We do not need the Bulletin to keep in touch with each other. ■ But, I do wish to take this opportunity to thank other writers of class notes who have been kind enough, over the years, to comment on my reports. ■ As I look back, it amuses me to share one occasion when quite a few reporters made comments that were both interesting and revealing. It was one summer when I innocently proposed a variant concoction for martini cocktails that suggested a generous base of vodka with just a splash of gin rather than dry vermouth. On my part, it was all a matter

Here is a photo for you to peruse and drift down “memory lane.” The picture including wives was taken at our 50th reunion, which fortunately coincided with St. George’s 100th anniversary, a really grand celebration in which we were able to partake. As for the rest of us, a belated thanks to Ace Adams, Jon Isham and Bob “Eusty” Hempstead for bringing me up to date on their later lives. I have not heard from Kohlberg or

Merrill but trust that they are well and may yet catch up with us one way or another. At last word, Adams, Isham and Hempstead were still “up and running,” and I am happy to report that with the exception of an irregular heartbeat, your “correspondent” continues to defy the odds and so, with any degree of luck, we may continue to contribute to the class notes in the future. ’Til then, all best, Dave

The cold weather lasts a mighty long time and the summer vacationers are long gone. So, we hopped in the car for the Florida Keys. I do hope we can do a repeat performance next March.” ■ Tom McLane reports he and Judy are doing well.

John T. Bethell, 59 School Street, Manchester, MA 01944, 978-526-1104, john.bethell@ verizon.net ■ “I was saddened by the adverse publicity that has fallen on our school, but the institution will survive,” writes Joe Burnett. Joe and his wife, Kitsie, claim to have checked out the last destinations on their bucket list. In the fall of 2015 they traveled to Paris, the Loire Valley, Normandy and Brittany, arriving in the capital the day the terrorists struck. “It was quite a memorable trip, which we both highly recommend,” says Joe. “Not too tough, and the people were wonderful.” In other news: “We are going to downsize within a year, so we got a downsized dog. Playing with her is a lot of fun. We have been seeing our children in Austin, Texas, and WinstonSalem, N.C. We are looking forward to a nice summer at Gibson Island, in the Chesapeake Bay. There is lots of room, so come see us.” To which Kitsie adds, “You would love to see your old buddy totally besotted with his new baby. Whimsy is a Cavapoo, half Poodle (smart) and half Cavalier King Charles Spaniel (lapdog), carefully designed to see us through the next transitional years of … whatever. I really think we are courageous to get into the puppy thing once more, but as we have always had dogs — 85 pounds, 55 pounds, 40 pounds, all too heavy to lift into the back of our SUV — we are at it again. Whimsy will probably top out at 20 pounds, but with hybrids, who knows?

We will have a funny companion for whatever lies ahead.” ■ “We continue to flourish here at Glenridge, our retirement

community in southwest Florida,” writes Howard Crowell. “Busier than ever with invitations for dining, partying and playing at one activity or another. Hard to keep up! Great food, wonderful company and terrific service create an incomparable environment. I sound like a marketing dude, but those our age who don’t consider something like this are really missing out. I am planning to visit Cuba as part of a scientific excursion with Mote Marine Laboratory this coming December.

Sarasota Military Academy is growing and ‘standing tall’ — told them I’d stay one more year as chairman. Kids and grandkids thriving.” ■ From Jerry Ford: “Thanks to Dad’s genes, I’m still here, and thanks to [SG art teacher] Bill Drury, I’m still an architect. Also, thanks to Class Secretary John Bethell, I am still in touch. George Wheeler would be pleased to hear that I am chairman of the board of the French American School of Princeton, N.J. (190 pre-K-to-8th grade children who are bilingual).” Jerry adds, “Tell Kent Turner that I am writing my autobiography and he’s in it.” Classmates have a standing invitation to let Ford 3 Architects “design a house for your children, your grandchildren or an old age home for you!” ■ Jack Hopkins and his wife, Judy, proudly announce the birth of a great-granddaughter, Vera Marie Hurley: “Our first great-granddaughter, born to our second grandson, Sean Hurley, and his wife, Fauna Shaw Hurley. They are living in Burlington, Vt., so it is Vera of Vermont.” ■ Ted Hussey and his wife, Nancy, continue to travel. “Flew Atlanta to London on British Airways 777 with seats that become beds — very comfortable,” writes Ted. “On to Budapest. Eight days on the Danube with Viking River Cruises.

Excellent ship, crew and chow. Birthday in Vienna. Lovely weather and great tours: Bratislava, Linz, Melk and Passau. Many locks at night, but never felt them. Three days in Prague — forsythia and cherry blossoms were gorgeous. Chilly in Prague, with a snow shower. Best to visit in the spring; tourists inundate in the summer.

Wonderful trip.” ■ From his Gloucester, Mass., homestead, Jay McLauchlan reports that he’s branched out from woodworking to masonry and gardening: “When I built my house on a corner of the foundation of an old barn that burned down in 1980, a lower courtyard 65 by 50

feet remained. This past year I have built a granite stair and a wall for a two-tier planting area, using about 50 tons of acquired stone with only my Kabota 71 excavator for help. Now for the planting!”

■ Ted Robb and his wife, Minney, are in their second year of residence at the Beaumont Retirement Community in Bryn Mawr, Pa. Ted is “still very active on the board of The Nature Conservancy of Pennsylvania, where we are working with Gov. Tom Wolf and major corporations on how best to mitigate the effects of climate change and move to cleaner forms of energy.” ■ Ted Tansi, who had undergone a long recuperation from heart surgery, was hospitalized after a car accident that injured his pelvis. “I have been out of commission for the past six weeks,” Ted emailed in May. “Am in a rehab hospital and will be here for some time, as my injury was quite severe.” Ted and his wife, Mary, moved from Port St. Lucie, Fla., to Naples, Fla., two years ago.

He can be reached at tedtansi@gmail. com. ■ From Kent Turner in Binghamton, N.Y.: “I enjoyed our recent class notes; sorry to hear word that Dave Beardsley has passed. Al Lewis visited their Montana ranch in 1949. Barbara and I are staying close to home in this Finger Lakes Region — lots of great restaurants. Our family is doing well, getting bigger and older.

Fortunately I am not getting bigger, just older. I hope you all will join me in continuing to support SG.” ■ Our spring 2016 class notes column, posted online when the Bulletin skipped an issue, reported the death of David Beardsley on Feb. 19, 2014.

A leading member of our class, Dave was a prefect, captained the swimming team, was co-captain of soccer and played end on the football team. He also sang in the choir and was president of the Acolytes’ Guild. After serving in the Navy, he took a degree in animal husbandry at Montana State College and managed a ranch in Ennis, Mont. He later moved to Scottsdale, Ariz., and then to Encinitas, Calif., where he spent the last 20 years of his life. Three sons and a daughter survived him.

Carl H. Grashof III, 113 Old Orchard Road, Coatesville, PA 19320-5903, P: 610384-2330, F: 610-384-1589, realseller@ aol.com ■ First of all I wish to extend our congratulations to the 2015 St. George’s School football team for their magnificent undefeated, untied season, topped off with a bowl game lopsided victory. Our class was the last to go undefeated in the fall of 1951, but we had the blemish of one tie game. During our four-year span, we had two undefeated seasons and dominated the opposition with one exception we don’t wish to discuss. Jerry Ford was our coach for three of those years and his single-wing, no-huddle offense was lethal. In those days every boy played football unless he had a doctor’s excuse because it was the only fall sport in town. Mr. Ford left in the spring of 1951 to become the director of athletics at Penn and Mr. Rothermel replaced him and installed a standard “T” formation. We never thought it would be 64 years before another undefeated football season, and I recall John Morton expressing his displeasure more than once at reunions.

Today there are several fall sports for boys and girls, which makes it much more formidable to go undefeated and we doff our hats in respect for the 2015 football team’s accomplishments. ■ Over the years I have formed a special attachment to many of you who make it a point to attend reunions and we are coming up to our 65th next year. As we climb into our mid-80’s it becomes rather prominent that a precious few remain. Mark your

Kudos to Fred who came all the way from Santa Barbara, and Warren who made it from Dallas. A disappointed Todd Breck proposed a novel idea: Why wait for another five years? Why not return next year for a 61st reunion? Why not indeed!

Any comments on that proposal? Todd also writes: “I’m still at it doing architecture and engineering and still playing and writing lots of music. Hope all of you out there are holding it together and being vibrant.” And from Montana, Jay Doolittle writes: “Greetings from Pray, where all the children are above average and the rest of

has done everything possible to correct wrongdoing and the present administration has left no stone unturned to assure strict attention to any problems that may occur in the future. My analysis of the administration is very positive and I consider Eric Peterson to be the best headmaster we ever had and if Jack Doll were here today he would be in full agreement.

calendar, May 19–21, 2017, and plan to attend. ■ How many of you remember the time Mr. Kimball’s wife happened to notice six boys parading around Newport without a pass and reported it to the headmaster who promptly sent five of the six permanently home? Only Jim Witker was spared by the grace of God and he became one of our most accomplished graduates. One of his accomplishments took place in the early 1970s when he and Henry Weldon purchased a rather shabby building on 50th Street in New York City.

It was the home of the Beekman School, founded in 1925 as a tutoring school for students in grades 9–12. The school was uncredited for college and it was struggling to attract students and teachers. Jim and his partner proceeded to step in and correct the problem by attracting students and faculty until it met the requirements needed for college accreditation and Jim became headmaster for 12 years. He finally stepped away and sold his interest to Henry Weldon. Today the Beekman School is one of the finest preparatory schools in the country. ■ Randy Brown’s wife reports they have just sold their home in Annapolis, Md., due to escalating taxes.

The property had been in the family for over 200 years. They plan to find a smaller place nearby and will report the change of address when they relocate. ■ I caught up with John Livermore who lives on a ranch in Cody, Wyo., near the entrance to Yellowstone National Park. John raises show horses but arthritis has kicked in, as it has with most of us, and he is not as active as he once was. His last visit to the school took place at the funeral for English teacher Norry Hoyt and he expressed his concern that the religious aspect of school life at St. George’s School was not as strong as it was when we were there.

I assured him that religion is alive and well and that the mixed choir of boys and girls is so much better than it was in our day. What a pleasure it was for me to join the baritone section during Jack Doll’s funeral service. It is evident that unless you see for yourself at reunions just how much better life is at St. George’s School than it was in our time, you can’t appreciate fully the progress, which has been made. ■ Regarding the sex abuse scandals reported at many elite preparatory high schools I will simply state that our school

Jeffere F. Van Liew, P.O. Box 570, Saint James, NY 11780, 631-584-5933, comrepro@ aol.com ■ A most interesting email from Kirk Hudson regarding his whereabouts: “Jeff, my apologies also for not having responded before now to you. I’m at the point where I don’t know what I do all day, but it takes me all day to do it. ■ “After working in various finance-related functions, I retired from Pitney Bowes in 1999. Barbara and I moved to the small town on the eastern shore of Maryland where she grew up. One nice thing about being in a small town is that when you forget what you are doing, everyone else in town remembers. Since being down here I have been involved in various charitable activities (twice in a thing called the Delmarva Chicken Festival) and other non-income producing activities.

The latter included a long stint as head of the condominium association in nearby Ocean City, where we own a unit. During my tenure we undertook some major renovations and I became much more

familiar with the construction trades than I really wanted to. Fortunately I was the only owner who lived close by so I could make most decisions on my own without a lot of assistance (grief?) from others. ■ “Other activities have involved traveling to New York, Michigan and Oregon to visit our children. We liked visiting our son now living in Michigan a lot more when he was in Paris on a three-year stint. Often times on the trips to Oregon I could combine them with trips to other parts of the West to indulge my love of fly fishing. In that regard, I had a most enjoyable trip many years ago with Leff Lefferts to the Rapidan River in Virginia. Also I had several conversations with Dick Strawbridge about our mutual love but never could hook up to go out with him. I was really saddened to hear of his passing. ■ “Recent milestones include Barbara and I celebrating our 50th anniversary in New York with our children, and a granddaughter born last June to our oldest son. Two other grandchildren live in Oregon with our daughter. Also, in March we are going to Disney World for our Michigan son’s wedding. ■ “Hope all is well with you and hope all of us left make it to the 60th.” ■ And a letter from Warren Wheaton: “Dear Jeff, my apologies for such a late response to your nice letter. I salute you for assuming the duties of class correspondent and am hoping you can facilitate our reunions. After St. George’s, I went to Middlebury College (B.S. in economics), then Navy OCS and Long Beach, Calif., for three years of active duty.

In 1965, Barbara and I were married, and we moved from California to Hunterdon County, N.J., where I worked for a small oil field equipment manufacturer. ■ “In 1973 we moved to Dallas, Texas, where I joined another company, and we raised our two children. We also discovered and moved to Santa Fe, N.M., in 2002. ■ “Retirement in Santa Fe is more fulfilling and rewarding than the business world. Charity work is devoted to the animal shelter and therapy dog visitations to schools and hospitals with my golden retriever and briard. Travel is mainly to see my daughter and her family in Park City, Utah, and my son and his family in Dallas. ■ “Hope you and your family are well and look forward to any opportunities to reunite with our classmates in the future and certainly in 2018.

However, I have had a few responses to my appeal for news, which I will include herein along with some news acquired from other sources.

pack, unpack, etc., on a frequent basis is quite appealing. In the past 12 months we cruised from Barcelona to Stockholm (to include the Baltic Republics and St. Petersburg) and more recently from L.A. to Fort Lauderdale. My parents had sailed through the Panama Canal years ago on their ketch while I was not aboard, and I had always wanted to make the passage.

This December, Susie and I will redo the Caribbean, which we last did aboard the yacht more than 50 years ago. I dare say that there will have been some changes from 1963-64! ■ I would like to personally comment about the year-long sexual abuse “scandal” about which all of us have been deluged with communications from victims, the SG Board of Trustees, the media, and attorneys over the past year or so. The reports have been alarming, to say the least. What alarms all of us, I think, is obviously the abuse itself, but also the less than forthright response by the school’s leadership including the failure to notify authorities as the law requires.

SG and other similar schools have always held themselves as functioning in loco parentis, but seem in many cases to have failed to live up to this duty. Legal advice has furthered the concept of “CYA,” which has apparently trumped a higher duty. I earnestly hope that the school can end this sad chapter in its history and ensure that remedies are in place to prevent reoccurrences. It seems to me that there is an honest effort “to make things right,” but that may not be totally possible for the victims. St. George’s has played a major role in my life and taught me many valuable lessons, and I hope that it will continue to do so for others years on into the future.

■ Best wishes to the entire St. George’s community on behalf of the Class of 1960.

except that he finds it is hard for him to get his head around the sexual abuse issue at SG, since our days there were fairly monastic (my word) and uncomplicated.

He looks forward to our 60th in 2020; hopefully there will be sufficient numbers of us hale and hearty enough to attend. ■ Chad Gifford and his family have been in the news over the past eight months or so. Chad retired as a director of Bank of America in late April after more than 10 years on the board. He had been serving over the past year on a dispensation since he had reached retirement age at Bank of America. The board of directors wanted another year of his counsel given his past service as chairman and of more than 50 years in the industry. What Chad would probably rather recognize is that his son, Rufus Gifford, has served as the U.S. Ambassador to Denmark for more than a year. I saw Chad interviewed on PBS on the occasion of his son’s marriage to a Danish veterinarian in September of 2015; it was quite an event in Denmark and included diplomats, politicians, royalty and other public officials. Rufus has become a Danish celebrity and media sensation that is widely admired by and familiar to most Danish citizens. I would encourage any of you readers to Google “Rufus Gifford.” You will be impressed! ■ George Crozer reports that he continues to rock along. While he remains “of counsel” to his old law firm, it doesn’t interfere with his fishing. [One has to have one’s priorities straight!]. He does indicate that for some time he has been having a “dialogue” with John Robb on many subjects.

George characterizes the discussions to be very “intellectual” on John’s part, but he characterizes his own contributions to be less so. And speaking of Chad Gifford earlier, George reports that he had dinner with Bambi Gifford Mleczko (Chad’s sister) and her husband, Tom, at Camp Micmac, a salmon lodge located on the Grand Cascapedia River in Quebec last summer. Richard “Dick” Verney ’64, who graduated from SG after we did, and his charming wife were also present. George credits Joe Wright with introducing him to Camp Micmac. George spent last winter in Surfside, Fla., and was fortunate to miss the heavy snowstorm up north. ■ My wife and I continue to travel, largely on small ship cruises. Not having to unpack,

Warren has forgotten was when I was married living in L.A., and going back to college (1962/63) after my tour in the 11th Armored Cavalry in Germany (1959/61), my then wife Marcia (we were married in 1961 and divorced in 1995) gave me a surprise birthday party. Low and behold, when I arrived home (we lived in an apartment near fraternity row — managed her mother’s apt. house leased to the Betas), Warren was there. His ship was in a slip at Long Beach Harbor. What a wonderful surprise that was! We had a great time with Warren (he gave us a tour of his ship, a mine sweeper I believe, and then we took him out to dinner). Oh to be young again! ■ Jeffere F. Van Liew

with small pieces of student art. These projects were completed from 1992 to 2007. Last year, she returned to all five sites to open the capsules and celebrate with students and other community members. The five pieces are in Hawaii, New Zealand, Japan, Norway and Quebec.

I accompanied Kate for the return trips to Quebec (just across the Vermont-Quebec border) and Hawaii and New Zealand. I must say the Kiwis know how to have fun.

Among their favorite activities — riding high-speed powerboats through rocky canyon rivers, with just inches of clearance from the bottom.

That means he would fill in if one of the actual GOP delegates from Pennsylvania were unable to perform his role. Like many Republican conservatives, Hanna went into the convention with misgivings about the presumptive nominee, Donald J. Trump. Hanna called Trump repugnant and possibly dangerous.

But he viewed Hillary Clinton as worse — certainly “bad for the country,” and especially the Supreme Court. Hannah is president of Let Freedom Ring, a conservative advocacy organization that highlights demands to rewrite the tax code. ■ Hanna’s distress with the presidential choices offered American voters was shared by many of our classmates.

Despite misgivings, a few found Trump’s politically incorrect campaign attractive.

Mike Morris was completing his book, “Fit for the Presidency? Winners, Losers, What-ifs and Also-rans,” on the qualifications of 15 presidential candidates. Morris derided Trump as a “demagogue and a buffoon,” yet sounded like he would vote for the man. Right-wingers are not strangers to our class — Morris recalled he and Hugh Nevin worked for Barry Goldwater’s 1964 election campaign.

1966 50th Reunion — The class of 1966 are joined by their spouses for their 50th Reunion at the Alumni Weekend dinner.

Top to bottom: Hamilton Helmer ’65 and “Inside Out” producer-writer-director Pete Docter with his 2016 Oscar for Best Animated Film. Helmer teaches an economics course at Stanford that features prominent invited guests. “My take-away from that class was: Forget carefully nuanced pedagogy. Forget compelling concepts. Forget insightful analysis,” he said. “An Oscar trumps it all.” / Steve Livingston ’65 and wife, Dianna, beside the Blue Mosque in Istanbul.

to resist its siren song to seniors, three more classmates have put down roots of some sort in Florida. Lanse and wife, Kathy, spent February and March in Vero Beach, playing golf and having dinner several times with Mark and Bonnie Earle, who have had a place there for years. The Offens also spent a weekend with Rex and Megan Murphey, who have moved their primary residence to Englewood, on the state’s west coast. Rex and Skip, longtime winter resident of nearby Boca Grande, met frequently for what they referred to as dinner. Pictures showed that cocktails were more the main event.

Chip and Courtney Luddecke have a new place in Ponte Vedra, but live slightly more challengingly, since they also spend wintertime at their house in Park City.

Summers, as always, are on Shelter Island, and Chip says the welcome mat is out to all and sundry at all three locations.

Lanse also reports that granddaughter Cora Offen (their second) turned 1 on April

29, just before the Offens’ 44th anniversary, and that they had a Rhine cruise on their summer agenda. ■ More news from the patriarchy: Nicholas Michael Zampetti III, son of Nicholas Michael Zampetti and Allison Robin Zampetti ’00 celebrates his first birthday Nov. 13, 2016. Little Nicholas is the eighth second-generation member in the family of Tim Robin, whose stepson, Lincoln Evans-Beauchamp ’88, has four children. ■ Steve Livingston sent a picture of him and his wife, Diana, in Istanbul, declaring that she “hauls me around the world to places almost too thrilling (for me.)” The two were wed in 2008. Standing second in his accomplishments after his marriage, Steve says, is a run of sobriety that will reach 30 years this St. Patrick’s Day. ■ Also hauling to distant climes: Dave and Gee Wakelin, who spent three weeks in New Zealand.

One highlight, despite a high level of sogginess, was a three-day trek on the Routeburn Track in the mountains of the South Island. “We recommend this trip to anyone willing to sit on planes for 19 hours in the air,” says Dave. “The Southern Cross is as good as CS&N said it was!” ■ John Morris checked in from Nashville, where, he says, there is always an open invitation at his house.

Morningstar row for the University of Michigan in the NICC Regatta in Worcester. The following weekend we were at it again in Philadelphia for Dad Vail, where I also enjoyed dinner with Susie Morse ’76 and her husband David.

(Very grateful for that diversion.) My husband Miles and I continue our search for the perfect property in Rhode Island to transform into a B&B that operates in harmony with the planet.” ■ John Beattie writes: “Hi Cliff. Thanks for your perseverance. I have nothing to report at this time.

Thank you, John.” ■ Vicky Bippart writes: “Alumni Weekend was both incredibly fun as well as poignant. So nice to see all of you, and to have meaningful conversations about the school and its future path.

But especially nice to see you all. Thank you to Cliff, Marian and Alan for making it all happen. It was a TON of work to wrangle all of us, I’m sure. As for me, I’m still making movies, and my girls are doing well. Emma just finished her freshman year at Barnard, and Mae, a junior at high school, is about to go to Amman on an Arab language scholarship.

dozen new songs of mine. I’m very excited about this project and look forward to playing this material live at clubs in and around New York City through the fall and into the new year. In August, my wife Kim and I will take our two kids to Sicily where we plan to renew our vows — 10 years of marriage! I know that’s nothing for many of you, but I started late. Hopefully you all will get to meet Kim at the next reunion.

She is definitely my better half.” Cheers, Bill. ■ Charley Bowditch writes: “The 40th reunion was important to me. The 70s were a rough period and SG was not immune. Although I did not make the final stretch, I do appreciate and value my experience at SG. I sincerely apologize to my classmates, the faculty, alumni and friends of the school for the embarrassment caused by my actions. If there was ever a chance to turn back the clock and change the course of my life that would have been it. The repercussions were enormous and maybe in the end a blessing in disguise. I’ve landed on my feet and managed to persevere.” ■ Michel-Pierre Ceas writes: “It has been 40 years since our time at SG, a lifetime really. I have received news from the school regularly, checked on the ’net’ but have never

(shame on me) sent any news about myself. All is well in my life: happily married to a Yorkshire lass for the past 35 years, blessed with two gifted children.

My daughter, born in South Africa where we lived for many years, is a cultural manager and my son, born in France, is a talented professional musician. We live in the Serre Chevalier Valley ski area (yes, I do ski quite a lot) and I work as an educator for underprivileged kids and as a language trainer for the ski industry.

As you can see, a pretty simple but good lifestyle in the beautiful mountains of the Southern French Alps.” ■ Luke Durudogan writes: “Just back from our 40th on the Hilltop. So proud of our cohorts. They are brilliant, dynamic and caring classmates.

My spouse, Elizabeth, and I remain in Akron, Ohio, and busy ourselves with work, paid and unpaid! Our daughter Hayley ’14 is thriving at the University of Richmond. Summer is on the way and the golf course beckons, so my classmates are hereby invited as travels hopefully bring them nearby.” ■ Jay Edwards writes: “It was great to see that our class has not only come together at this critical time for SGS but, also that despite a few gray hairs you all haven’t changed a bit. Since my last update, my son John became engaged to Brittany; my daughter Kelsey graduated from Rhode Island College and was accepted at Wheelock for her master’s; and my youngest daughter, Mae, just came back from a semester in Cork, Ireland.” ■ Abby Ehrlich (with Bill Clark) writes: “While visiting my son Sam in Seattle, I called Bill Clark, rumored to be living the good life, Pacific Northwest style, in beautiful Lakewood, Wash. Bill and I had lunch at a favorite haunt, Mama’s Mexican Kitchen, a Seattle musicians’ favorite due to its Belltown location near the small clubs that continue to be great venues for local talent. (My friend’s kids perform there now). It could have been the fish tacos or the Jimi Hendrix booth and tropical murals, but it was really fun. Bill and I spoke again on Alumni Weekend, thinking of you all at Norman Bird Sanctuary during a rare 85 degree sunny day here. Bill’s family of five and mine are doing well. We send greetings from Puget Sound.” ■ Scott Eliot writes: “If I’ve learned anything it’s that the spirit dwells within. Are you the bulb

or the light within? When I visit with my SG friends we pick up right where we left off so many years ago: a little wiser, more circumspect, boatloads of cool — all goodness. Son Nick is in LA living the life of a videographer at 19 — bolder steps than I ever could have taken at that age.

I still have Elizabeth, my 14-year-old at home where she must laugh at my lame jokes for room and board. Sister Caroline ’77 splits her time in Maine writing grants and maintaining a Navy Seal-like fitness regimen. Older sister Barklie is still pursuing her teaching career that started at SG in ’78 at St Edward’s School in Vero Beach.” ■ Alan Fleisig writes: “My wife Maura and I enjoyed our reunion immensely. We hope we played some small role in making people feel at home again in Newport — or really, Middletown, but who’s counting? Or just that there was coffee and yogurt (Lise?) in the morning at the Norman Bird Sanctuary. And many thanks, too, to Cliff, and locals Marian Smith and Chad Loebs, for taking on the responsibility for so much of the logistics.

That we continue to feel and think of each other as brothers and sisters even as we collectively and individually confront some hard truths, speaks to the power of those bonds that we long suspected exist but that have rarely been foregrounded or come up for challenge as they have recently. In our discussions this May, we felt united in our commitment to taking an active role in making St. George’s an even better school than ever, in the name of those whose experience at school, and in consequence in later life, was darkened by misdeeds and dishonored by denial and silence — for the benefit of future schoolchildren not just at St. George’s, but everywhere. My heart overflows with gratitude at knowing all of you — those both present and absent from this latest assembly — and with hope that we will get to know each other even better as we carry forward the work to which we have committed ourselves. Our next — soon — will be a meeting I will very much be looking forward to. Until then, fortissimos!” ■ Rodney France writes: “I am loving being back here in Southern California, living in Redondo Beach, Calif., again. I continue to nurture my coaching/speaking business and it grows accordingly. I love going to the beach on a regular basis —

so grateful to Marian, Alan and Clifford for their supreme efforts to bring us back together for the 40th reunion. I can tell you the smile is still on my face and the joy is still in my heart. An energy has been rekindled that will bring much to the lives of so many of us in the class and to many others. What it will bring as a class by sharing the gifts of our souls for the good of many is very exciting to me.” ■ Martha Dykema Frost writes: “I am still living in Lincoln, Mass., working as a psychotherapist with adolescents and adults. I am still married. My husband Rainer and I have four kids, and the exciting news is they have all graduated from college and are mostly self-supporting. Life is good.” ■ Charlie Gledhill writes: “It was great to see so many SG ’76 classmates at our reunion in May. It seemed like we picked up right where we left off 40 years ago. As I mentioned to many of you at the reunion, my wife Linda and I recently abandoned New Hampshire, leaving behind its cold, harsh winters (and our jobs) and relocated to Durham, N.C. We feel like we ‘caught a wave’ because Durham is undergoing a cultural renaissance, giving us plenty of

the ocean and me are soul friends for sure.

I attended the 40th reunion of our class during the first weekend of May. Fantastic time reuniting with about half of our class.

Marian, Alan and Clifford led the organization of bringing our class back together for our SG class reunion. It was tremendously special reuniting and connecting with so many from our class. The fabric of our bond woven in timeless friendships started from our shared experience as classmates at SG. I can’t begin to put into words how wonderful it was being together with our class again. Great, great times. I even felt the bond with several others who wanted to come and could not make it. It is amazing how in an instant of meeting a classmate that I have not seen since the day I left SG for college, that I instantly went back to the unique energy and memories that connect all of us, that bond us in a very unique and very special way. Classmate X says, “I am ____”; I respond, “ Yeah, I know you.” For me it is a soul knowing, not just a knowing from that great time we shared at SG, as great a time as that was. Mentioning 30-plus classmates would take a while, and I am

new amenities to explore. Our oldest daughter Sarah, 23 and a 2015 summa cum laude graduate of the University of South Carolina, is convinced that we left New England just as she landed her new job as a marketing/PR associate at Boston Ballet, so that we would be closer to our ‘favorite’ daughter Rachel, 21, who is finishing her junior year at Elon University in Burlington, N.C. Of course, one event had nothing to do with the other. Anyway, I continue to look for a new job in the Research Triangle area, but having spoken with many of you at the reunion and read about your creative accomplishments in the last Bulletin, I am motivated to look beyond traditional employment and consider something more entrepreneurial.

Right now I have no idea what that will be, but I look forward to sharing updates with you in future editions of our class notes.

Thank you for being the talented and inspirational people that you are.” ■ Matt Hall writes: “I’m still having fun taking pictures underwater. Here’s a recent one from the Western Pacific.” ■ Mike Hansel writes: “Hi, Cliff, I am finally back from my journey south and back into the frying pan!

Grades for seniors are due in the morning and Prize Day is quickly approaching. As I’m sure you remember, this week is quite frantic with last-minute preparations for the big day. It’s always amazing to witness how much each student grows and changes in their four years here; that aspect of teaching never gets old. It was great to see you and some of the class in King Hall during Alumni Weekend. It’s remarkable that you guys were able to organize such a well-attended event.

Also great to find that everyone is still so friendly and welcoming even after 40 years has slipped by. It’s really good to hear how there is such a supportive and optimistic sentiment in terms of a bright future for SG. Since I’m living and working on campus, I would gladly offer to assist the Class of ’76 in staying informed about current events. If I can help facilitate communications in any way, please don’t hesitate to give me a call. If I don’t feel qualified to help, I can certainly connect people with someone who can. I admit that I am looking forward to the end of this tumultuous school year. In a couple of weeks I will regain some time with my wife and three daughters and also try to

re-establish a working relationship with my artwork. If interested, check out my recent installation at www.rosensculpture.org. Best to you Cliff and all of the 76ers!” ■ Howie Hersey writes: “Really enjoyed reconnecting with everybody at our 40th reunion! Life is good, and I’m doing my best to stay physically active.

Currently training for my first triathlon as well as a 100-mile relay race in Vermont this August! Would love to see any friends or classmates who find themselves in the N.H., seacoast area, and would offer a guided tour of the Portsmouth area’s finest craft breweries to anyone interested!” ■ Carol Johnson writes: “I am so sorry to have missed our reunion. I understand there is a possibility of our class getting together before 2021 — I would love that. I saw the photos on FB and it really made me miss all of you.

After taking the last six years off from work I’m starting a couple of new projects.

My daughter is off to college in September so the timing seems perfect. My son is in ninth grade and definitely doesn’t want me hovering around — unless he needs a ride. Pretty soon he’ll be driving and I’ll be completely obsolete. For the last several years my weekends (and David’s) have revolved around rowing regattas and soccer tournaments. At least someone in our family is getting some exercise.

Although I always miss my friends on the East Coast, life in L.A. is pretty great.

Come visit!” ■ Beth Josephson writes: “It was really wonderful to see everyone at the reunion. What was thoroughly heartwarming and stood out to me is how many genuinely nice people there are from our class. I think our class is very cool that way and we all recognized it and appreciated it. I’m proud of just about everyone I talked to. As for me, I don’t think anyone was surprised to know I’m a working artist living in New York for the past 35 years.

Art was never much of a choice for me; more a ‘have to’ than a ‘want to.’ I’ve also been teaching adolescent inmates on Rikers Isand for the past 15 years.

I’ve loved my job and learned much from my students. Last year was extra special — I was on sabbatical in Nepal doing research for the prison in the monasteries — both places highly regulated and restricted. Why so much more happiness in the monastery? As for my happiness:

Thank you for living your lives the way you are, Class of ’76!” ■ Edie Woodland Kilchenstein writes: “Still living in Park City running a ski factory. Everything’s good — I’m alive and happy. If anyone is in the area and needs skis, please feel free to get in touch.” ■ Fred King writes: “I don’t feel like I have any update-worthy news to share at this time. Things are good here.” ■ Catherine Lambert writes: “It was a magical weekend and it reminded me how strong and how close a class we were: true friendships. I want to let you all know about my company Mediatrix 360.

I left Merrill Lynch on May 13 and started my own company, which specializes in public relations. I have also been hired to be the director of fundraising for Nathan Wilson’s 2018 campaign for Governor of Florida.” ■ Bar Gooding Littlefield writes: “Kudos to our fearless and dedicated class correspondent, Cliff.

After all the ‘electronic dialogue’ it was wonderful to see people in person instead of reading about them. And, of course, as many of you realized, we have not aged a bit. Amazing. I wish I had been able to share more of the weekend, and I was thrilled to learn that I am not the only one

still with a high schooler. Bill, enjoy your preschoolers! I am well and living outside of Boston about to celebrate my 25th wedding anniversary. Bart and I were married at the school’s chapel! We are blessed that our four kids, with the exception of one who is in college in Pennsylvania, are in the general New England area. They are all perfect, which is why I, too, look the same as I did in 1976: no wrinkles or white hair — stress free living — the hallmark of parenting. I have pursued a career in energy and am currently working with the same group of people I have worked with for close to 30 years. We are building water infrastructure projects in the U.S. — our desalination plant in San Diego supplies about 10 percent of their drinking water. The facility just came online in January. It has been very cool to be a part of a transformative process in an industry in transition. Water is so basic, yet complex. Along the way I started and ultimately sold a yoga studio, On the Mat Yoga, in Concord, Mass. Some 76ers have taken classes there, including Joanna and Martha. I am a yoga devotee and think it helps while navigating an always-challenging life. I look forward

to our next gathering and to sharing lots until then.” ■ Chad Loebs was very active in helping with logistics for the Class of 1976 40th reunion, which he also attended and seemed to enjoy very much.

I did speak with Chad on the phone, but he has nothing to report for an update at this time. ■ Lisa Walsh Lovering writes: “It was great catching up with old friends at our reunion in May. Crazy how it took no time at all to be right back where we were 40 years ago — lots of laughs as we caught up about kids and careers, life! And, no doubt it has been reported by others in attendance, the dancing on Saturday night was truly epic. I continue to enjoy my work at Educator’s Ally (connecting teachers and administrators with jobs at independent schools, including SG) and my husband, Joe, and I will celebrate our 30th anniversary in September. Our kids are doing well — happy and healthy and following their paths. Our youngest just graduated from Middlebury so we are officially moving into a new chapter of

Great chocolate chip cookies. Wow, Newport is way different. Everyone at the reunion asked about how legalized weed is going and now you know.” ■ Susie Von M. Morse writes: “What a delightful Big Chill-style reunion! I still miss everyone. I took no pictures, sorry. Favorite memories: the bike ride, for sure — somehow I had been obsessing over the 18-mile component and completely forgot how much the beautiful scenery and stellar company would make it go altogether too quickly.

And the Saturday morning meeting — the thoughtful insights, the support. I’m really glad we did that and look forward to more.

I regret missing the dancing, but still, the dinner kerfuffle in downtown Newport was very happy-making. Because Cliff insists we share: Since my last minimal update I have supervised a bathroom renovation and continued on my Bridge journey. Most recently my team qualified for a national championship in D.C., this summer, which is exciting. I’ll be there in July, and off and on in Pittsburgh this summer with husband who’s working on a series there all summer. (Anybody in Pittsburgh?) Grown up kids (I still call them the teenagers even though they’re all in their mid-20s) will join us in Maine eventually, and at some point I’ll slow down with the cards and get back to writing.” ■ Jo Walsh Olsen writes: “Well, we celebrated our 40th reunion and it was more fun than I ever thought us ’76ers could ever have. Between the intense discussions on the present issues to wine tasting and then on to dancing the night away, I have to say it was quite a weekend!

Lasting memories … now moving on to my life in a nutshell: We are still living at Lawrence Academy in Groton, Mass. My year was filled with highs and lows. My 17-year-old broke her neck in August, but we were so very lucky. After a long recovery she is doing great and almost back to normal. Within that same week I welcomed two more grandbabies into my world. I now have three in total. My son Luke moved to Napa to work in the wine industry and Maddie will be going to UMaine next year. It will be strange being empty nesters but I look forward to lots of travel and relaxation: 36 years of raising kids is a long time but I wouldn’t trade it for the world! And so for now, life is good. I can’t wait to reconnect with classmates! If

parenting. If the past few years are any indication, it should be a fun one!” ■ Paula Marks writes: “I am completing my 21st year teaching at the Groton School. We have a new state-of-the-art science facility and the curriculum options seem endless now. I am still running an upper-school dorm but have relinquished my coaching gear. My youngest just graduated from college and my middle daughter is engaged to be married! Yikes!

■ “It is a challenge to find the words to describe our memorable and emotional 40th reunion organized by our fearless leaders: Cliff, Marian and Alan! The general consensus was that we are nicer to one another now than 40 years ago. This is important as we face the scandals and dysfunctions of St. George’s and acknowledge the havoc wreaked on our class members by once-trusted adults. There is no question that we are stronger together and I encourage all alumni to follow our lead.” ■ Jody Martin: In May, Jody was named facilities manager for U.S. Lacrosse in Sparks, Md. He oversees building operations, field scheduling and on-site events for the sports’ national governing body. Also, Jody is in his sixth year as a member of the game-day guest services group for the Baltimore Ravens. ■ Alexandra Dix McCabe writes: “I’ve been working on checking off my 100 things to do in my lifetime and accomplished No. 76: ‘Return to SG for the 40th reunion.’

And I will certainly add another reunion to the list before the big Five-0. It was a wonderful weekend on the Hilltop and great to reconnect with dear friends.

Thanks to all who made the extra efforts to get us together and organize a host of fun activities (Marian, Alan, Cliff and everyone who attended). We are an amazing class; none of us has aged or gotten any wiser. Must be something about that fresh sea air in high school!

Back to the list: I am now working on becoming proficient in emoji, planting a garden and attending music festivals.

Boston Calling is calling May 28 and we are planning to make the most of summer in Maine.” ■ Jon Meredith writes: “Ever since they legalized the evil weed in my home state of Colorado, I haven’t done too much. Just been sittin’ back and chillin,’ catching the jam bands that come through town. I think I went to our 40th reunion.

Contact me anytime.” ■ Katie Pratt writes: “Dear Dragons of ’76, I was so sorry to miss seeing everyone at the reunion weekend. I continue to enjoy my life in Napa Valley, Calif., which, despite the millions-of-grapes-to-only-thousands-of-humans ratio, is surprisingly interesting. It is the Silicon Valley of grapeland, where countless entrepreneurs seek to find ways to live in this beautiful part of the world, capitalizing on the local food, wine and travel industry. I am joining the ranks of ‘winemakers’ and will be making my first wine this fall. Granted I am beginning with one barrel, but it is a start! I still do my art consulting and am involved in publishing a book — more details at the next writing. Give me a jingle if you are near San Francisco for a West Coast catch up.” ■ Kim Morse Roell writes: “I am teaching middle-school science in an inner-city parochial school and loving it. I recently started a little side business doing wedding flowers for brides on a budget: a chance to be creative and spread joy. I also head a pastoral care team at my

Thanks for a great reunion.” ■ Jo Mathie Salmon writes: “I haven’t got much news. I’m looking forward to hearing all about the reunion and seeing all the pictures. Life is just so busy. My husband’s father who celebrated his 90th birthday in January has been doing very poorly after a series of falls; my husband is in the process of moving his business to a new site and our younger two boys have just moved in together in London so ‘mum and dad’ removals service has been busy collecting belongings from their two flats at either end of the city! In between I’m still fortunate to be playing lots of tennis in addition to my coaching. I’m still hoping that if any classmates are over in the U.K., they get in touch. It’s a long time to the next reunion. Best wishes to all.” ■ Tracy Schach Simpson writes: “I have to say that the highlight of my last few months has been, albeit vicariously, being part of all the momentum building up to our 40th reunion, which ever so sadly for me, I was unable to attend. I feel the energy of our glorious Class of ’76 over the cyberwaves,

and believe we’ll find ways to reconnect before the 45th; at least I hope so. Our door in Toronto is always open to any and all of my classmates, or their kids, if ever your travels bring you here. I have so loved seeing the photos. Everyone looks truly wonderful and each image brings an enormous smile to my face — remembering how each of you were such a unique and positive force in my adolescent development. As to news, we’ll be empty nesters next year, as our baby will be off on a gap year before attending Yale-NUS in Singapore in 2017! Heading to Bolivia this summer to climb all together. Yay! Our eldest is moving to Chicago. Any classmates or progeny there? Let’s keep that FB class page active!” OXOXOX to all, Tracy. ■ Marian Smith writes: “What spirit, ’76! We positively flocked, drawn to each other, moved by our days on the Hilltop, resolved to help. Having had to relocate the very day we parted, I’m ready to herd us back to R.I. Just shout when! And to advance our collective efforts to effect change. Now. Until we speak or meet again, with exuberant affection, Marian Smith ’76 … P.S. — Please do call if on Cape/Chathamabouts (401-243-3377).

the movie ‘The Great Gatsby’, said: ‘The town feels exactly the same after so many long years with its very warm spirit.’ I would echo the same comments about the Class of 1976 from our recent reunion!

It was an amazing weekend with so many good memories, strong laughs, and seeing that we all look pretty good after all these years! On a personal side, I just attended my daughter Emma’s graduation at Washington & Lee. She had a fabulous four years there and will be attending graduate school at UVA in the fall. Son Alex is home from the University of Alabama and working in Charleston this summer. We hope to escape Charleston’s heat for a week this summer to get back to Martha’s Vineyard. ■ “In the meantime, please look us up if your travels take you to South Carolina.” ■ Julie Pullman Wilson writes: “Had a great winter. Lots of skiing, hiking, etc. Trying now to survive the mountain spring weather. Snow into Memorial Day! Spending lots of fun times with Edie. If you visit us, you achieve a twofer!” ■ Peter Wilson writes: “It was great seeing such a good number of classmates back at SG for our 40th reunion. Time, age, (maybe even a little wisdom) make it so much easier to laugh about our awkward years and talk about life. And in light of recent revelations of dark doings on the Hilltop in our era, the ’76 gathering to talk about next steps was welcome and provided me some hope for real change — both at SG and in wider society. Now that I’ve returned home to the Adirondacks, I’m pursuing my project to bring a community-supported movie theater back to my hometown, Saranac Lake, and am about to play a role in the regional professional theater’s summer opener production of ‘Art,’ a comedy of

all of you dearly. I hope the reunion went well, and when you get the chance, send my love to all. If we host a 50th, I will definitely be there.” Love always, “bro bert” ■ Larry Webb writes: “Aloha old friends. I am sorry that I was not able to make the reunion due to a new business venture I am trying to start in Hawaii.

For those I have not been in touch with: I spent 25 years in California working in the software and then bond business, living on the beach in L.A., and Marin County in the Bay Area. Years of traffic and big cities found me looking for something simpler and I was drawn to the rural, open spaces of the Big Island of Hawaii. Year-round ocean sports, mountain adventures and lots of golf courses proved too much for me to resist.

Now in Hawaii for 12 years, I work in solar energy and volunteer, managing our only island PGA golf event as a fundraiser for the local Rotary Club. For my friends that think Hawaii is paradise, I remind everyone that we have lots of problems here, it’s just that the weather is not one of them. I enjoy living where I know my neighbors and the community leaders by their first name. Like each of you, I have wonderful memories of our time together at St. George’s and feel blessed that I was exposed to the individuals and the opportunities it provided. Nothing will compare to the friendships we forged there. We are all bound together even though many years have passed since. I wish everyone my best and will make sure to be there next time. ■ “Until then, come visit me in the islands!” ■ Toby Welch writes: “I really enjoyed myself at our 40th reunion!” ■ Bob Whittemore writes: “Like Robert Redford, who recently returned to Newport after 40 plus years since filming

manners, or lack of same. Trying new things sure keeps boredom at bay. Any former SGers venturing through the northern Adirondacks, feel free to get in touch!” ■ Heidi Winslow writes: “Dear Marian and Cliff, I really want to thank you guys again for all of the efforts you each made to bring our class together and create such an incredible weekend for us! Our class saw this reunion as an opportunity to congregate and connect with each other to process all of the tragedy that has occurred at St. George’s. ’76 class members came together in Newport from near and far, after 40 years, and immediately formed a conglomerate of hope, healing and solidarity! It was heartwarming to feel the outpouring of compassion, and empathy we all shared for the victims of these events, and it was equally impressive to see the eagerness and enthusiasm that was displayed by all, to commit to doing everything that we can, as a class, to create a positive change for the school. The letter that we decided to create, to send to St. George’s, is such a powerful step in the healing process and creating a renewed state of trust. By asking St. George’s to take responsibility and ownership for the tragedies that have occurred, to apologize and be accountable for their actions, is what is right and just.

It is what the school would have expected of us. Thank you both, and all of our classmates who came, for everything you shared this weekend! Friendship, smiles, stories, memories, love, laughter, dancing, and hope! I feel so incredibly grateful to be a part of this class and proud to stand with you in an effort which will help bring affirmative change for the betterment of St. George’s and all who are part of it.”

Love, Heidi ■ Cliff Dent writes: “The achievement of a nearly 10-page spread in the Class Notes section of the Summer/ Fall 2015 edition of the St. George’s Bulletin will probably never be equaled by the SG Class of 1976 again — but I have a feeling that other cohorts will have an equally difficult time beating that record as well (57 respondent updates out of 65 graduates who have possible contact information — a formidable record by any standard!). Nevertheless, in my opinion we came pretty darn close (after only 20 submissions in the intervening issue) by reaching a grand total of 45 Class of ’76

37

alumni who wrote in for the current issue.

And once again this astounding total was achieved not only by my own hard work, but by some pretty fancy arm-twisting behind the scenes — not only by the Big Guns whom I’ve previously mentioned in this respect (Jody Martin, Lise Anderson, Marian Smith and Katie Pratt), but also by influential individuals like Vicky Bippart, who (back when I only had three updates in hand — hers was No. 4) complimented me by saying, ‘Wow — you’re really good at this!’ Then proceeded to rope in three of her best cronies to submit their updates posthaste. (Vicky, I love you!) So no, it wasn’t record breaking, but it was a darn fine achievement by the members of my cohort — and I am VERY proud of both the achievement and of them. The big event that happened in both my life and in the lives of 32 other members of the Class of ’76 was our 40th Reunion over Alumni Weekend this past May 6–8 in Middletown. We ended up staying in several different places, but the bulk of us took up residence for the weekend at the Norman Bird Sanctuary in Middletown, which turned out to be an inspired choice for a place to stay, congregate, party, meet as a group and reconnoiter. I am very much indebted to my 40th Reunion Committee co-planners — Marian Smith and Alan Fleisig — for doing the bulk of the legwork, fundraising and organizing of activities for our glorious weekend, and to Chad Loebs for aiding Marian in the local logistical operations for our ‘days in the sun.’ And once again I owe a great deal to fellow Dragons for contributing generously to Alan Fleisig’s class agent travel reimbursement fund (www.gofundme. com/tp9shsc). Much gratitude to Mike Hansel, Susie von M. Morse, Charlie Gledhill, Luke Durudogan, Fred King, Lisa Lovering, Chris Lirakis ’77, Peter Massey, Bar Gooding Littlefield, Vicky Bippart, and to whomever is responsible for a couple of massively generous contributions to this fund in the past six months.

Once again, thank you all very much! The fact that the often-unpredictable Rhode Island weather did not cooperate during our desired ‘days in the sun’ and provided us instead with plenty of rainfall for most of our first two days in Middletown did not put a permanent damper on the spirits of 33 lively ’76ers determined to make the

best of the weekend. The walk to Sachuest Point on Saturday morning, and the bike-riding and wine-tasting activities on Saturday afternoon went nearly flawlessly and on schedule. The attendance at the gala Saturday night featured some 30 of us trying to fit into a photographic booth that could only comfortably accommodate 25 or so bodies. We managed, but came close to tearing down the booth in the process. Also on Saturday night there was dinner and dancing for those who chose to stay, and an initially frustrating time caused by a cancelled reservation for those of us who chose to eat in town, but the situation was saved by a nearby accommodating restaurateur who was glad to have our business. Prior to the activities on Saturday afternoon, we attended to the serious business of meeting as a cohort to discuss the deeply disturbing events which underlie the sexual abuse scandal at SG, many of which occurred during our time as students at the school, and both before and after that time. We had a serious discussion of the events and their aftermath, which was moderated by Peg Langhammer of Day One. I can’t speak for everyone in the Class of ’76, nor can I predict what the outcome of the meetings of the committee to deal with these matters will be in terms of tone, direction or emphasis in that committee’s actions going forward, but I can say that in general we did resolve to have individuals from our cohort meet to craft a response to the situation that we can present to the current administration of St. George’s School, and we ended on the very positive note that we, by our collective action, can help in redressing past injuries, meeting with survivors to help them to come to terms with what happened to them, and providing some impetus to ensure that policies are in place and are being enforced that will (insofar as this is possible) prevent such incidents from ever happening again at SG. Many of us also attended the service in the “new” school library that was coordinated by several of the survivors along with Peg Langhammer. It was a very simple and short service that many survivors have said served their needs, despite its having been considerably shorter and much less in depth than our Class of ’76 meeting.

Two of the most emotionally fulfilling

moments of Alumni Weekend for me were connected with meals. The sight of over 30 of my erstwhile classmates and teammates eating lunch together in King Hall on Saturday — taking over three tables near the entrance to accommodate our numbers — provided me with a strong nostalgic rush of emotion and a sense of fulfillment insofar as the responsibility of being able to assemble 50 percent of the surviving members of our cohort lay in my own labors and in those of individuals with whom I have been in close cooperation.

Several old classmates mentioned this time and time again: ‘You know, Cliff, that all of this is because of you, don’t you?’

And even though I still insist that these SG Bulletin extravaganzas and the outstanding turnout for our 40th reunion are collective achievements, I would be lying if I didn’t acknowledge that I do feel a tremendous sense of gratification in being identified as the major catalyst in the realization of these awesome achievements. My second emotional mealtime moment occurred during our class luncheon on Sunday as I said goodbye to so many members of my cohort whom I have only corresponded with by email or talked with by telephone in recent years.

Nothing can replace being able to shake the hand or give a hug to classmates or teammates who meant so much to me during my formative years at St. George’s School — people whom I have come to like, respect, care deeply for, and, yes, even to love. Over and over, we resolved to meet again before our next scheduled “BIG” landmark 45th Reunion in 2021 — and because of the exigencies of dealing with the current crisis in the history of the high school alma mater that so many of us both revere and love, I really believe that we will do it. In my personal life, I have continued to do substitute teaching, but at a steadily diminishing rate. I am still much more involved in after-school tutoring, ‘Read Better Be Better,’ driving for Uber, Lyft and Amazon Prime, income-tax preparation and other incipient entrepreneurial activities. I am also scheduled to go back into the classroom full-time in the fall, working as a paraprofessional in reading intervention for Champion Schools, a charter-school system in the Phoenix area that combines the character-building aspects of sports for

David A. Todd, 709 East Monroe Street, Austin, TX 78704, P: 512-442-3130, F: 512-4160900, dtodd@wt.org ■ I have the big job of taking over Peter Barbaresi’s stalwart work from the past decade-plus of keeping up with our Class of 1977. Our class would probably fit neatly, standing up at least, in a single subway car, but we’re now so scattered hither and thither, doing so many interesting things, with spouses and partners and children and parents and friends, that it’s daunting to report on everything. Fortunately, I have Peter ably showing me the way, plus my dad, Anderson Todd, secretary for the Class of 1939, egging me on. With their help, and your tolerance, I hope it works out OK. It has been a real treat to catch up with many of our far-flung classmates, and I hope I get to visit with each of you soon. ■ Speaking of Peter Barbaresi, he says that he and Kathleen are gradually making the nest-emptying move, shifting over to a house in Dana Point, Calif. Maybe the nearby beach and soothing sounds of the ocean will help ease the farewells to his daughters now- and soon-to-be far away (Natalie, Pomona ’16; Alexa, Trinity ’18; and Liz, Washington ’20). ■ John Barry is a man in motion these days, en route between Washington, D.C., San Diego (near his daughter Erica at Pomona), and Newport (near his mother and the Folk Festival). He tells me that he has gone “over the wall,” leaving the vineyards of the law after 30 years and now looking for new challenges. I understand that he’s also left behind that classic powder blue VW beetle of yesteryear, leaving it in the hands of a bug-aficionado eager to restore it to its days of 1977 glory. ■ Jim Brady is in New Jersey, that Garden State, where he and Ann have raised two girls.

Meanwhile, he has worked in real estate, volunteered with land trust efforts, played and coached hockey, and helped schools for kids at risk, including the Newarkbased Philip’s Academy, led by our

elementary- and middle-school students with rigorous academic preparation for high school and beyond. I like to think that the late, great Ted Hersey would be proud of me. In spite of some emotional adjustment and other personal issues, I learned to love the St. George’s School of my time and the classmates and teammates who provide me with the major reason that I am still involved with the current institution. The core of the physical plant of St. George’s looks essentially the same as it did 40 years ago — but on the inside and in the incredible developments outside of that core area, it is not hard to recognize that the St. George’s School of today is a very different place from the high school that my cohort Class of 1976 attended. St. George’s has gone from being a respected but still in many ways second-tier college preparatory institution to being one of the major power players in the Ivy-League-feedercollege-preparatory-school sweepstakes.

It is possible to love the St. George’s of the past AND to wish the present institution well in its quest to be the best college preparatory school in the nation; however, I think that it is first necessary to recognize that these two avatars of St. George’s are not really the same school. Nevertheless, I very much believe that there is something about the spirit of a St. George’s School education, which transcends time and continues to endure. We who love (or loved) the St. George’s School of yore must come to grips with the sordid aspects of a numerically small number of transgressors in the past who have left a terrifying bleak path of destruction in their wake in the lives of those survivors who once played, lived, loved and learned among us. We have a responsibility to those survivors to insist that the current administration of St. George’s follow through on its commitment to provide transparency, openness, honesty, solicitude, compensation and — eventually — reconciliation, healing and closure.

These are huge tasks, but we dare not falter in our commitment to help the current St. George’s School fulfill its mission to provide the core element of St. George’s education as it has for the entirety of its 120 years of existence as encapsulated in the words of the founder of St. George’s School, the Rev.

that a number of us are tiptoeing into. ■ Caroline Eliot is living sustainably in bucolic Maine with her husband, Ben, and some bees and chickens, but minus her two sons, who have fledged successfully. She manages conservation acreage for a local land trust, and enjoys hiking and biking. ■ Paul Gregory is still based in the Boston area, but has somehow managed to regularly bring his band and instruments all the way to Austin, letting us enjoy the joyous, wake-you-up, foot-stomping music of the Second Line Social Aid & Pleasure Society Brass Band.

■ Margot Johnstone appeared at an otherwise sad funeral I attended for my aunt Emily Lynch in Stonington, Conn., this past fall. Margot definitely brightened my day! ■ Bob Linville is in Littleton, Colo., where he works in the financial industry, sees his post-college kids, camps, hikes and runs (years of playing and coaching soccer, dating back to Hilltop days, are in the past). ■ Chris Lirakis is up in the Hudson River Valley, working at IBM’s Watson research lab and minding the high-tech things he was always good at, though now they include quantum computers and no doubt other devices that would make George Jetson proud.

■ George Lloyd is happy to report that his daughter Olivia is graduating from Princeton, at the same time that he returns for his 35th reunion. George’s father, Wingate Lloyd ’48, another Dragon/Tiger hybrid, with his mother Janet, and George’s other two children Graham and Cecily, will also be cheering Olivia on. Graham and Cecily are living the dream working for venture-backed software companies in San Francisco, while Olivia is starting at an independent film company after graduation. George returned to NYC from Boston in 2011 to work for Royalty Pharma, and is delighted to be back in the Big Apple. ■ Jay Pierrepont is investing in sustainable strategies for getting us food to eat and water to drink and other niceties. His and Lisa’s life is spread far and wide, living in San Francisco and visiting in Maine, with Jack at Colgate and Bea at Thatcher.

Look up — maybe you will see Pierreponts flying back and forth. ■ Shelley Randall says that the black flies are back out in Holderness, N.H., where she is now retired from 20 years of practicing child

protective law, and is now moving on to enjoying hiking and kayaking with her multitalented, all-terrain dog. ■ Janet Geschwanter Thomas is in Virginia, juggling working for The Gecko (GEICO), learning new computer languages, getting visits (and dance performances) by her grandkids, and hanging out with her husband, Dan, and her mother and daughters. ■ Errol Train Giordano and her husband, JC, are living in New Jersey, where they often see Jim Brady and Jimmy Walton. Her kids are away from home now, with the twins living and working in the Big Apple, and her youngest at Lawrenceville. Errol is staying busy as an advocate for children in the state’s foster care system. ■ Donald Van De Mark is out in beautiful Sonoma Valley dealing in real estate and in mounting a new startup, a digital bank called Varo Money. ■ Jim Walton continues to produce and direct video, especially sports, and is excited about heading to Rio this summer for his umpteenth Olympic show, this time covering rowing, canoeing and kayaking. Back in the states, he has a son carrying on the fine Walton hockey legacy at Lawrenceville, and a daughter exploring New Orleans at Tulane. ■ Rufus Williams has put his stakes down in “blue-fingernail” Rockport, Maine, but he and Susan recently had the chance to explore warmer climates in Austin, Big Bend and out to California, where both their kids, Margaret and George, live. He is returning to the fine artwork we remember him for, and is compiling pieces from his sketchbooks for publication. ■ Jay Wilsey reports in from Denver, where he and Susan live. Jay has worked in the electrical contracting industry, helped raise two kids, volunteered with his local food bank, hosted touring kids through a program called Up with People, and kept up with the bicycling he did back at SGS. ■ After returning safely to his nice life in South Freeport, Maine, with lovely wife, Lisa, and daughter McKenna, Peter Troast reports that he had a “wonderful April visit with George Todd (and his humans David and Wendy),” while conferring with his fellow building efficiency experts. He says that, “George and Katie are fetching Australian shepherds that run the Todd household.” He is nice to add that “the humans are nice too, and awfully darn

hospitable, to put it in Texan.” That translates as an invitation to come visit, for any Dragons who don’t mind dogs and who might be considering an Austin visit.

Leslie M. Greene, 37 Woods Grove Road, Westport, CT 06880, lmg4187 @optonline.net ■ Hello Classmates! As I write this it’s the start of a hazy, hot and humid summer weekend. The perfect time to be on the Hilltop, with the breeze from Second Beach wafting up to campus. But since none of us is right now staring out at the Atlantic from the Hilltop lawn, this column will have to conjure that sandy, sunbaked day-at-Second-Beach feeling for you. ■ Actually, at least one of us has been back to the Hilltop quite recently: at this May’s Alumni Reunion, classmate Welles Orr received the Howard B. Dean Service Award at a ceremony held at Merrick House. Welles was recognized as one of Washington’s foremost international trade experts, but was honored specifically for his dedication to St. George’s, having served on the Board of Trustees, the Alumni Board of Visitors and the advisory board of SG’s William S.R. Rogers Endowment for Public Policy Studies.

It was noted by fellow Washingtonian and alumnus Tucker Carlson ’87 that in D.C., “Welles knows every person in the zip code and everybody loves him. I doubt he’s had a single enemy, ever. He’s the greatest party guest in Washington, the most faithful godfather (to a dozen godchildren) and a beloved husband and father including daughter Cheka ’18. Fellow alum and D.C. colleague Jeff Kimbell ’89 notes that Welles “will take any meeting with any graduate of SG. He’s an absolute Dragon, through and through.”

For “channeling his success back to the Hilltop with the fruits of his professionalism, talent and appeal,” Welles is one of this year’s recipient of the Dean Service Award. Congratulations, Welles. You make us proud! ■ Other updates from classmates: Joan O’Neill writes that “after 25 years in Old Lyme, Conn., we moved back to Stonington, and I get to see Andy Griscom and Jim Buffum around town.”

How lucky all of you are to live in such a great area for summer fun! ■ Always nice to hear from Peter Rothermel, who

writes: “My daughter Breezy just graduated high school, was in the play and made the all-star soccer team. We are so proud of her. She will be a lifeguard at the county park this summer and then join her brother for college at Biola University in Southern California. Our son P6, for Peter 6, will be working at downtown Disney and hopefully with Quicksilver Surf and Clothing Store. He starts his third year at Biola this summer, with a double major of broadcasting and political science. Both kids love God and they care for each other. My wife, Jackie, and I will be married 30 years on Feb. 14. She is an ER nurse and I am one who networks with resourcing churches with the hope of strengthening marriages, families and faith. The Lord Jesus pulled me out of the messes I had created and He has given me new life and new hope.” Peter, it sounds like life is going beautifully.

And congratulations on the wonderful milestone of 30 years of marriage! ■ Jon Isham writes, “It’s been so gratifying to catch up with Lisa Birmingham, Joe Kettelle, Willard Sistare, Welles Orr and Cameron Reynolds Hardy in the last few months. I just missed opportunities to see Ellen Foster and Philip Reynolds (our time will come!). Like so many members of our class, I am thankful for the voices and actions of the courageous survivors of sexual abuse at St. George’s in the 1970s and 80s. Our community must do our best to help them heal even as we build the best possible school for the decades ahead. As an outgoing board member, I am in awe of the school that St. George’s has become. It’s gratifying to see so many of our contemporaries sending their kids to SG and to know that the best traditions of our school are shaping a new generation.” Thanks for expressing these sentiments, Jon! ■ He adds: “And on the personal front, the Isham family is packing up for a one-year stint in Ghana, where I will be on a Fulbright at Aseshi University College, the first liberal arts college in Sub-Saharan Africa. Come visit!” How exciting! Safe travels to Ghana, and do keep us informed of your experiences there! Wishing each of you many similar excellent adventures over the summer, too!

Sheila Elkins Baltzell, 18 Willow Place, Brooklyn, NY 11201, 718-222-8414, sbaltzell@ nyc.rr.com ■ Greetings classmates, 30 years later — that went fast! I’m (Kate Zernike) subbing on class notes for Sheila Elkins Baltzell, who was unable to escape the frenzy of her twins’ sports schedules in Brooklyn to attend our big reunion in May. ■ For me, the week of reunion started with a huge treat. I was lucky to be the guest of our very own Mel Osborne at the annual fundraising dinner for Beacon Academy, where he is head of school, honorary founder, and clearly, a rock star. (Also, he’s Mervan there, but old habits died hard.)

Beacon selects eighth graders from Boston’s less privileged/more challenged neighborhoods and prepares them to attend private schools by repeating their eighth-grade year in an intense 14-month program. It’s the only school of its kind in the country — though it has plans to expand to Baltimore and Washington.

What makes it remarkable is that it doesn’t just focus on academics (though there is that) but also on teaching what

the school calls “cultural fluency and social confidence” to ease the students’ way into the private school world, and, as Mel says, to “change the trajectory of their lives.”

They travel to Washington and Martha’s Vineyard and meet with a variety of big intellects; they are assigned coaches who give them a glimpse into professional success. At the dinner, I sat next to a student from Lynn, Mass., who will be a third-former at SG next year. He told me how excited he is to study marine biology there. (But mostly, he said, he was looking forward to finishing his classes at Beacon, because they were hard.) I recently began covering education again for the national desk of the New York Times and I think it’s safe to say there’s no bigger issue in education than overcoming barriers of race and class. Mel (Mervan!) is right there doing the real work, and I was unduly proud watching him command the crowd of donors, students and alumni who clearly share his love for Beacon, and the mission. ■ In other news, Mel recently surrendered his seat on the Cambridge School Committee and moved to Milton, Mass. — where Todd Bland is, of course, head of school at Milton Academy, and where I had my first real newspaper job — with his wife, Lucy, and their two boys, Moses and Atticus, (who at last glimpse of Facebook, had taken his first steps). ■ On to reunion: Friday evening, I spoke at an event held by the SG Women in Leadership group, which I am happy to report includes one forward-thinking young man on its board. We talked about journalism and politics and (the elusive) work-life balance. I came away really energized and impressed by the curiosity

of the students and the thoughtfulness of their questions. I was especially happy to see Alix Horne Coolidge ’85 in the audience, on campus for the reunion and to see her daughter, Sophie Coolidge ’18.

And I was delighted to meet the oldest daughter of our classmates Blair and Eddie DeJoux, though it reminded me how much I miss our Blair, with her one-of-a-kind spark and infectious laugh.

■ Just seven of us — ahem! — showed up for reunion festivities, not including Steve Connett, who made it to the Candy Store for late night after dinner on campus Saturday. Two of those — April Anderson, who is living in Atlanta but spending much of her time at SG working overtime as a trustee, and Todd Wetzel — will have children at SG in the fall. Paget Reed Bahr had her middle child, lacrosse star and recent eighth-grade graduate, Wiley, in tow. (Her husband Chris, in the ultimate act of devotion, spent his birthday at our reunion.) Paget, ever the pot-stirrer, made us all some friends at the Candy Store after dinner Friday and Saturday. There might have been some dancing, and there are pictures, but I am not sharing. Jim Munsell, who lives in NYC, gave us a tour of all the roofs and towers he climbed while at SG. As for the rest of the weekend, I had to send out an email to fellow revelers to remind me of the details.

From Sarah Weston Orr, who was in from Chicago, with her husband, San. ■ “Great to see Kate, Paget, April, Jim, Jim and Todd and their significant others at the 30th reunion. It was fun to hear how many alums will have kids attending SG next year. We all took the tour of the school and were amazed at all the improvements, particularly the new Academic Center. ■ “All is well in Lake Forest, Ill. I see a few SG alums around town: Caroline Masterson ’98, Will Georgi ’98 and Jenny Brown ’97.

And I run into Paget at our boys’ lacrosse games. Still spending any free time with my horses while managing a house full of boys.” ■ Jim Gellert, who, like the rest of Manhattan, has recently moved to Brooklyn, updated us on the success of his company, Rapid Ratings, which is giving the Wall Street ratings firms a run for their money: ■ “Basically, Rapid Ratings continues to grow and I’m having fun in the financial technology world.

administrator and moderator, although most of my time is spent behind the scenes talking to hundreds of SGS alumni across the decades from the 1950s to 2015, and I look forward to welcoming the 2016 SGS graduates at the end of May. It’s been a wonderful way to connect with Dragons from other classes we wouldn’t have normally met otherwise. It’s amazing the instant bonding across the decades, like finding hundreds of long-lost siblings.

I found that John Ward ’75 has first cousins that are my second cousins. It’s been a safe place in which alumni can support our survivors and each other through this challenging time. I have been told that the only reason many alumni joined FB was to join the SGS Alumni FB Group and that is something of which I am quite proud to have played a part in. I was thrilled when people started asking me to ask the Alumni Office questions or make requests to the Alumni Office that they normally wouldn’t have been comfortable to do otherwise. Say what you will about FB, but it has been a real Godsend, a marvelous tool of cohesion for many SGS Alumni during a really tough time. I have met too many SGS alumni at many events, this year’s Alumni Weekend and one-to-one face-to-face meetings to list them all so I will continue to focus on ’87. Mostly, if not all who are on FB are on in the SGS Alumni FB Group and the ’87 FB Group started by Laura Foulke in 2012 in preparation for our 25th reunion that spring and with whom I have talked fairly regularly. In March I had dinner with Lesley Humphreys in Baltimore where she lives and flourishes.

What a delight to catch up with her in person after nearly three decades. In April, I had dinner with Jo Jo Hardy Willegalle, her daughter and her husband who were doing an NYC tourist long weekend; and where there is Jo Jo and I, there is always Veronica Toro Pritchard, whose husband and two sons had to fend for themselves that evening while Veronica joined us for a night on the town. Veronica’s eldest son and my godson, Alexander Pritchard, is going to be a freshman at Penn State next year. I can’t believe the sweet baby boy and godson, whom I used to rock to sleep in my arms, is in college. Yowza! At the SGS reception at the NY Yacht Club in NYC last October, which was packed, I saw Hannah Swett, Paul “Kek” Kekalos

called one of the year’s “blockbuster” fashion exhibits, a retrospective of the work of the late Oscar de la Renta curated

by Andre Leon Talley. (Search for red carpet photos of Jill and Talley, they’re fabulous.) The Journal called it “ideal for ball gown junkies” and quoted Jill singling out the feather print dress de la Renta created for Marissa Meyer to deliver a keynote address: “Mr. de la Renta showed how a woman can be powerful and beautiful.” ■ Dede Gardner, our star in Hollywood, was recognized in May with one of the 2016 Bear Awards from the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence, at a ceremony that also honored former president Bill Clinton. Adam McKay, who directed and wrote the screenplay for “The Big Short,” which Dede produced, introduced her as a “humble and amazing and tenacious person,” In her remarks, Dede pushed for a change in personal attitudes in addition to “changing the laws and the loopholes and the lobbies.

■ “The thing that I keep thinking about is how to get to the beginning,” she said, according to the Reporter. “How to get to the beginning of abuse. How to get to the beginning of bigotry. How to get to the beginning of degradation. How to get to the beginning of marginalization. How to get to the beginning of lonely. How to get to the beginning of sorrow. ■ “I think we’ve forgotten the power of witness,” she said, urging people not to turn away from things that made them uncomfortable, to listen to “faces of despair.” “Then maybe a woman in a ferociously dangerously armed household, rather than feeling ashamed, announces to this new community, ‘I am scared. I have fear. Will you help me?’” ■ You’re an impressive bunch, 1986. See you in 2021!

I may have to send him to Camp Zulli for summer training. Loved hitting SG for reunion and catching up with classmates, Kate, Paget, Sarah, April, Munsell, Stevie Connett, Wetzel and respective partners/spouses.” ■ And from those not able to attend — Lilie Clark Van Arsdall writes from Washington: “I can’t say I have any ‘news’ per se, other than the familiar marathon of keeping lives and obligations afloat, and wishing I could have made some hazy memories with you all in May! From the pictures on FB it looked like you all had a lot of fun, and well represented us! ■ “Since you asked about kids and their shocking rate of growth, I know I am not the only one of us to have teenagers at home — one finishing 10th grade, and one finishing seventh … holy cow, time is speeding by! It still is a mind twist to think they are around the same age we all were when we met. Hoping they are making the great friendships we did. ■ “I can’t help but mention the events at school this year, and how deeply upsetting they have been, especially for those people on the front lines. My heart goes out to our community whose lives have been touched by recent and past events, and like so many of us, I continue to hope for courageous leadership and healing.” ■ Lilie, a closer reader of Facebook than I, also reports that Paul Tullis won the award for the best magazine profile of 2015 from the NYC chapter of the Society for Professional Journalists for his profile of Jane Goodall in the New York Times Magazine.

Congrats Tullis! ■ Merrell Cherouny, also in Washington, was unable to attend reunion because she was welcoming her daughter, Grace, home from college. Her son, Hayden, is a rising junior. “Yikes time is moving way too quickly,” she writes (speaking, I think, for most of us). ■ Finally, stealing a bit of news from other media sources: Jill D’Alessandro, who is the curator of costume and textile arts at the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco, presided over an exhibit at the DeYoung Museum that the Wall Street Journal

It’s been interesting at Bloomberg these days with Mike returning to the company. I now report to him directly working on clean energy project development for company operations as well as building financial-analysis tools for sustainable investing. It was super interesting getting a bird’s-eye view while he considered running for president. In the end, he still feels that third-party candidacies — despite all the turmoil in this cycle — are not viable.” ■ Mahlon “Lonnie” Stewart: “I suppose the cat is out of the bag. I want to thank my friends and family who have supported me through the process, ’cause I don’t care what you say — it does take a village (Greenwich Village, specifically). I just accepted the position of assistant professor of rehabilitation and regenerative medicine at Columbia University Medical Center, and director of clinical education at the Columbia University Program in Physical Therapy. ■ Polly Walldorf: “After more than 15 years designing for the hospitality industry, I’m starting my own design business — Walldorf Design Studio LLC.

I’m looking forward to inviting myself over for a dip in her pool this summer.” ■ Clymer Bardsley: “As for me, I just started my own practice, The Bardsley Group, which works with individuals and organizations as a coach, facilitator and trainer to improve their productivity and engagement by increasing their conflict-management skills.

And, we missed the deadline again even after we were given an extension. Some things never change. We hope to get back on track next time. In the meantime, we give you something completely different …

Sundays with your scribes, Michelle Doty and Jay Sweet. ■ Sunday with Michelle: “In the Doty-Bernstein household we think of early Sunday morning as special family time. The boys, Asher, 6, and Nico, 8, wake up at 6 a.m., and both Leo and I are overjoyed to greet them. They climb into bed and we snuggle. By 6:30, I’m out of bed, making coffee and setting up the dining room table for some epic Lego building. We build Legos for one hour and then get ready and head for our vigorous 50-block trek to Union Square market.

The whole way down the boys walk calmly side-by-side and chat about types of trees, bird species, the zombie apocalypse and other outdoorsy boy stuff. At the market, we get our organic, free-range, gluten-free and naturally grown provisions and hail a cab back to our home (some of you may

recall a certain graduation party held at said house). The first thing we do when we get home is make crepes and use our fresh fruit from the farmers market for the fillers. I love it when the boys help out in the kitchen particularly when it involves mixing ingredients such as eggs and milk into a big bowl of flour. They make a huge mess and it’s awesome because I’m really in the moment and I know these moments are fleeting. ■ “By 11, we are out of the house and ready to take advantage of all that NYC has to offer. We’ve culled through the Friday weekend section and have circled at least three things we will do around Brooklyn, Queens, Manhattan and occasionally Staten Island. Until 5 p.m., we are on the go! We head to Chinatown and eat deep-fried squids (Asher, in particular loves that), tapioca ice tea (still not a favorite) and other street food. We then head to Little Italy and stuff ourselves with Italian pastries and coffee. We then head over to the East River ferry and go to Williamsburg to catch the latest video installations, which are usually really weird but since they use ‘old-fashioned’ TVs, the kids think they are funny. ■ “When we get home, we all plop on the couch and chill.

Leo and I may, on occasion, have a glass or two of wine while we make dinner and the

My what an interesting political year we’ve had. ■ We welcomed Avery Leigh Kimbell in September 2015, completing our triple threat to the future of America. She has joined her two brothers, Hunter, 6½, and Cooper, 3½, in our new house in northwest Washington and already seems very expensive. I was honored to join the SGS Board of Trustees last October, which has already been an incredibly rewarding experience. I was also elected to the board of directors of Safari Club International in June. We are heading to Alaska for three weeks of fishing in August. We are hoping some of the diapers can be used as halibut bait. ■ Anne Wells: “We are organizing a group climb up Mt. Kilimanjaro — led by my husband, David, for his 50th — next June 2017 to support the orphanage and school we built in Tanzania through our Unite the World with Africa Foundation.

kids play quietly and nicely together. They are so respectful of letting Leo and me have quiet alone time. They never pester.

A few minutes before dinner is served, the boys set the table and then we all sit down for a quiet Sunday family dinner. The kids tell us, in great detail, about what they are learning in school, who is super cool (everyone is), and talk about how much they love Sunday because the next day is school. No Monday blues here! ■ “After dinner we’ll play some board games — Clue and Risk are currently our favorites.

And then the kids get ready for bed (unprompted). They tell us they are tired and head off to sleep by 7:30 all by themselves. We kiss them goodnight and we are done with parenting for the day. Leo and I then finish off the bottle of wine, tell ourselves it was a perfect day, aren’t our boys awesome, and aren’t we glad we are raising two active boys in NYC.” ■ A typical Sunday with Jay: “Noises emanate from downstairs alerting me that it may indeed be morning. Grinding coffee beans, violin practice, the BBC, it’s all blurring into one pulsing sledgehammer to my gray matter.

Usually I’ve gone to bed a mere three hours beforehand, after subjecting myself to some new artist who’s being promoted as the musical love child of (insert recently passed musical legend) and (insert Hippest Brooklyn Band you can’t admit you don’t know), but really came across sounding like a Yanni v.

Where is South Danbury Road when you need them? ■ “Bring the boys, Hugo and Graham, to the dock to check on the boat, which is hopefully still afloat. Chide them mercilessly until they jump in.

As always, love seeing Whitney Smith Schrauth and Katie Michel in Nantucket — added bonus of lunch with Libby Nissen as well. We had an outstanding weekend in Narragansett with Brooke Connell and his clan for our annual visit. SGS girls weekend in Vegas to celebrate our joint 45th year (we really will go with any excuse) was great fun.

And what’s a girls weekend without Ceebs Hartmann and Nick Varney? Then onwards to the Bahamas to witness Larus Shields as a happily married man as well as doting new dad. Who knew?

I started it about eight years ago after traveling to Latin America for work quite a bit, which didn’t work anymore with young kids. I am still a big skier and play tennis, and coach both my kids in hockey and my daughter in lacrosse. We spend a lot of time on the Northern Neck/Rappahannock River at our property there running and hunting our new(ish) chocolate lab, Wallace. Many of you may remember my dad, John Ariail P’89, ’94, from the board of trustees at SG. He passed away suddenly about five years ago, so it has been a long five years.

I see more people with kids at SG than I do actual people that went to SG, with the exception of a few. Most likely because no one has my email — allisonerdle@gmail. com — self-inflicted isolation. I am on Block Island every summer in July, so I am easy for anyone in R.I. to get to. There are several SG alums at the Block Island Club where we sail. My brother Shreve Ariail ’94, is in Brooklyn with one daughter, Lourdes, 2, and a son on the way! Since this will probably be in the fall notes, y’all will miss Block Island so just look me up if you are ever in D.C. Would love to hear from you.

I’m nationwide.” ■ BJ Miller: “Correction, Ruma: You are huge in Columbus, but I am global, baby.” ■ Kimbell comment: BJ gave an absolutely incredible TED-style talk at SGS for the opening of the new Academic Center in February. ■ David Dickenson: “Hello from Cleveland, home of the champion Cavaliers and site of the Republican National Convention/Trump Reality Show ... I will see much of my favorite trustee and former roommate — The Kimbell — during this period. Our children are making us very proud with their schoolwork, genuine interest in kindness and peer support, and motivation for employment.

Thank you, Leslie Bathgate Heaney, for your dedication to this matter. ■ In May, Ginny Flower Marvin, Heather Bond Weisenfluh, Katie McKelvie Backfield and Amy Barclay Stiga joined Heidi at her home in Marion, Mass., for a Mother’s Day girls’ weekend. Sadly, she said they were having too much fun to take pictures. She also learned that Amy is moving to Sudbury, even closer to her, so that’s very exciting news! But overall, Heidi reported that she and her family survived another school year and were looking forward to summer. They were in Marion for most of it, and their son, CJ, attended Tabor camp (still not as beautiful as our beloved SG). She hopes to see many of you in 2017 at our reunion — “I’ve lost count as to which one it is.” May 19–21, 2017 — Save the date! ■ Ginny Flower Marvin chimes in that she is also looking forward to the reunion next year! She is still living in Portland, Maine, and says she sees a few SG alums around town and on the water. ■ Whit Rugg and his family are still living in Newport and regularly get to appreciate all the beauty of the SG campus — especially the chapel. Whit’s daughter, Morgan, is now convinced that the spiral staircase leads to the North Mountain from “Frozen.” ■ Susanna CraibCox Rosenblatt and her husband, Jason, happily celebrated their daughter, Minka’s first birthday with a trip to the aquarium and trying out strawberries in her yogurt.

And even better, he says, that means count him in for the reunion next summer! ■ Lastly, I am sad to report the passing of Milo Ryan ’91. His family held a memorial service in the SG chapel on June 27. It is at times like these that we remember fondly all the great memories we shared together. In keeping with that spirit, I hope people will be able to take the time and come to our 25th reunion next spring. I have just been told the dates will be Friday, May 19-Sunday, May 21, 2017. ■ That’s it for now — please keep the updates coming! Sara Hulse

experience the world calling. I started by walking the Camino de Santiago and realized travel was my passion and that life was too short to deny it. I continued down to Africa and from Spain through Italy and the Balkans to Istanbul. On New Year’s Eve I flew to Ushuaia and went overland (with the exception of some seriously lawless areas of Panama) to Carmen del Playa.

Met so many amazing people, pushed the limits of comfort aside, challenged my fears, saw far too much impoverished suffering and too few virgin forests, but am resolved to keep exploring. Asia awaits! Minor clarification: I only walked the Camino (from St Jean Pied De Port to Santiago) — not to Africa or Istanbul!”

■ Mary Friberg Wilson and her husband, Robert, have happy news to share — they welcomed their first child, Elle McGowan

Wilson, on Feb. 18. They are so in love with her, and I’ve seen pictures; she’s beautiful! Congrats, Mary! ■ Jesko von Stechow returned to Munich about a year ago after four great years in the U.S., where his company had sent him. During their time here, they lived in Indiana — and yes, they liked it! — and Boston, which they obviously loved. Jesko, his wife, and four children (aged 2–9) are enjoying being back closer to family and friends having more profound discussions about soccer.

Anyone who happens to be in Munich, feel free to stop by. ■ Ann Hurd (Peter Hurd’s mother) would like to put in a suggestion that those of us who can and who would like to: Try to visit Machu Picchu in Peru sooner rather than later in life. She reports that it is a strenuous climb, but truly spectacular scenery and Incan ingenuity that should be experienced by the young and energetic. ■ Patrick Beau Ferchill and his wife, Emily, were expecting their first child on June 6, a little girl. Congrats, Beau! Her name is Emory Paige Teas Ferchill and they are both truly excited!

Beau is not sure how their dogs, Kayo and Routt, are going to take the new addition!

Paige will have an SG connection though.

Shreve Ariail has agreed to take on the duties of being her godfather. That said, they are back in Fort Worth due to the cliff dive oil took last year, but very settled.

Travis Peterson and his daughter visited them in January for the rodeo. They had a great time at the opening parade and the barns. The jean jackets they brought were not suitable for Texas in January!

Californians! Their plans include Newport with family this summer; Paige will decide though! Beau wishes everyone the best.

■ Lindsay Duxbury McNulty and her husband, Jeff, welcomed their second son, Matthew Douglas McNulty, on March 31, 2016. Congrats, Lindsay! Big brother William loves his new baby brother so far! ■ Blair Olcott de Zagon shares what Kristina Smith Gates was going to write in, so thanks for helping Blair! Sara Selbert Savov, Elena Kavanagh Phillips, Kristina Smith Gates, Brogann Tassie Sanderson Bowden, Courtenay Cooper Sicre, Charles Rose, Shreve Ariail, Sebastian Varney and George Patrick Harvey Ingalls Sloane and I had a very fun night out in NYC celebrating our collective 40th birthdays! It was wonderful seeing everyone, and I am happy to report that all of us have held up very well! ■ Shreve Ariail and his wife, Carrington, are living in Brooklyn with their daughter, Lourdes. Shreve is still at the U.S. Attorney’s office. He had a great time catching up with the whole crew last month. ■ Sara Selbert Savov enjoyed dining with some Dragons at The Breslin in NYC and is amazed at how everyone pretty much looks the same, even while turning the big 4-O. (Picture included of the festive get-together, during which she stayed out way past her bedtime) Their little guy, Stewart, is expecting his little brother to show up this Thanksgiving, just in time for Dad to carve the turkey. Other than that, summer will be in Sweden with Mormor, where there will be lots of wild strawberry picking in clogs. ■ Tris Millard is still in New Orleans and still at JP Morgan. The ravages of middle age are upon him and to fend them off he rides motorcycles at high rates of speed on a local track on the weekend and to and from the office during the weekdays. His wife, Meagan, is doing well as are Gus (2 on July 23) and Ozzie (8 on Aug. 4).

Ozzie wrapped up second grade at Lycee Francis and speaks French better than Mr. Horowitz ever did. Tris will be up in New Hampshire for a two-week stretch at end the of June/early July with the family to escape the swampy summer climate in New Orleans. Not much else to report on. ■ It’s a boy! Ashley Gough and Susee welcomed their first child, Alexander, on Feb. 12, 2016, and couldn’t be happier with the little guy. Parenthood

And before we left England we were able to have a wonderful evening out in London with Serene Murphy and her husband, Colin. It was a wonderful send off and great to spend time with such an old friend. We welcome anyone to visit us in N.M.” ■ Barbara Romero says, “Middlesex people now surround us! In December we moved less than 30 minutes away from the school and with my husband being an alumnus we know a lot of Middlesex people in the area. Hopefully this means that our newborn (James “Jamie” Norton Romero, June 10, 2015) will want to get away and go to St. George’s! I caught up with Melissa Mitchell Slattery while in Fla. and the next generation got to meet.” ■ Melissa Mitchell Slattery says, “I spent almost 10 years as an academic tutor, and I loved it! I started off with just a few clients and other miscellaneous jobs to make ends meet, but with time and experience I was able to transition to tutoring full time. Along the way I met Ryan, and after four years of dating we

found out that we were going to have a baby! I continued tutoring until I was about five months pregnant, which was a really special time for the families I worked with and I. Our baby girl was born in October 2015, and I have been a full-time mama since. She has already become buddies with Lis Garassino and Barbara! I am now living in Jupiter, Fla., if anyone is ever in Palm Beach County and wants to catch up.” ■ Allison Robin Zampetti says, “Our baby boy (Nicholas Michael Zampetti) was born on Nov. 13, 2015. I can’t believe how quickly the time flies! We are doing well here in NYC. Auntie Caitlin Robin ’99 tries to visit once a week for cuddles and to make us dinner.” ■ Chrissy Colon Bradt says, “David, Macéo and I are doing well.

Macéo has fully moved into toddlerhood!

He’s walking, communicating and throwing the occasional tantrum. Since January of 2016, I have been serving as the education director of a nonprofit I helped launch — the Courage of Care Coalition. We are committed to empowering caring individuals and communities through sustainable compassion training.

As the education director I work with educational communities, providing professional and personal development to teachers, students, administrators and parents. It’s been quite an intense 2016 as we get the nonprofit off the ground, but an incredibly rewarding and exciting experience.” ■ Tyler Steffey says, “Joanna and I are excited to be contributing. We are well! We are still in Boston and loving the city life. We have two kiddos: Ellie, 2 1/2 and Nico, 10 months. We drink a lot of coffee.

This summer and fall, Dorothy looks forward to traveling and catching up with SG folks at various weddings. ■ Gerrit Lansing got married in July 2015 in Georgetown, D.C., and he and Christyn are living happily in a new place on Capitol Hill, right near the Supreme Court. It was a strong showing at the wedding that carried late into the night. Ryan Vaillancourt, Trevor Farmen, Karl Mollohan, Todd Curtin, Henry Sheehan, Logan Unland, Dana Ross and Dorothy Billings from the class of 2002 were there, as well as Katherine Nielsen ’01, Will Georgi ’98 and Jeff Kimbell ’89.

Gerrit and Christyn are looking forward to getting through a crazy election year and then travelling and adventuring as much as possible in 2017. ■ After years of living in Brooklyn, Whitney Garland Guhin and her husband bought their first home in a family-friendly town in Central New Jersey in 2014. Shortly after they moved, their daughter Fiona was born. With a dog, two cats, a train-loving 3-year-old and a feisty 16-month-old, she said “I’m in full mom/zookeeper-mode these days and despite all the diapers and snotty noses, I’m loving it!” ■ Nick Young is moving back to the New York City area with his wife, Tracy, and son, Graydon, after two years in Hong Kong. Graydon was born in Hong Kong on Nov. 10, 2015. ■ Stef Smith Ryder is another current New Yorker.

■ Bradford de Peyster says, “After leaving SG and heading back to California, I matriculated to Stanford and stayed in the Bay Area to work in tech after graduating. I ended up moving eastward four years ago and am currently the VP of product at a tech startup here in NYC. Just bought a place in Williamsburg as well — hipsters be damned.” ■ Todd Curtin is living on the East End of Long Island practicing architecture, and living with his other half and “too many dogs.” His projects are mostly local at the moment, but he will shortly start ones in California and Quebec. ■ Ryan Vaillancourt and his wife, Uli, welcomed their beautiful daughter Fiona Banu Vaillancourt on Oct.

Heath Patenaude, son of Jeffery Patenaude ‘02, is rocking his new SG T-shirt

I’m still practicing labor and employment law in Tampa. I had a lot of fun following the SG football championship run with Val, Archer, Sessa and Farmen.” ■ Kate Harvey Anklowitz is back in the States and working as a first-grade teacher at Carlthorp School in Santa Monica, Calif.

She is taking night classes at Pepperdine University to receive her master’s in psychology. She and her husband, Jason, bought a place in Marina Del Rey, and try to watch as many beach sunsets as they can, although she says, “They still don’t compare to the sunsets out of my Hafner dorm room!” ■ Charlotte Botsford Getz and her husband, Alex, are moving with their two kids Margot, 1, and Ford, almost 3, to Southern California this summer where Alex has accepted a job with Clark Construction. Charlotte is currently a part-time mom, part-time writer and part-time editor-in-chief for Rooted Ministry. ■ Ashley Platt Woodford and her husband, Michael, moved to Southern California a few years back and live in Orange County. Ashley works in technology for a Boston company, Pega. She finished her MBA from Babson’s Olin School of Business and is working with some Babson guys on a tech startup in the

restaurant industry. She and Michael welcomed a baby boy in September: Fintan Patrick Woodford. ■ Elliott Perry is living in Dallas and has entered the construction world. He co-founded a construction group, which builds high-end homes in the Dallas market. He no longer lives with Alex, and has replaced him with a basset hound (Waffle) that “now follows” him everywhere. ■ Adam Roberts is living in Western Massachusetts and working as a national organizer with Resource Generation, which organizes young people with wealth and class privilege to become transformative leaders working toward the equitable distribution of wealth, land, and power. He’s in Newport often to visit his family, including his 16-month-old niece, Luna! If you’re interested in leveraging privileged networks (like other SG alumni!) toward movements for social justice, or just want to reminisce about your time on the Hilltop, hit him up!

■ We were pleasantly surprised to hear from Nicolas Bellieno all the way from Germany. He has been living in Hamburg, Germany, since he finished University, and is currently working for Ernst & Young in transaction advisory. Last year he got married, and he and his wife, Annika, are expecting a daughter in September. He says, “Always happy to think back to SG and all the great people and memories!

Unfortunately, I am not in the States much. Last time was 2011, where I had a chance to stay at Ryan Vaillancourt’s place in L.A. and see Peyton Wallace as well, which was great!” ■ We love hearing from everyone — and encourage you to reach out to one or all of us. Next year is our — eeek — 15-year reunion and we hope to see you all up on the Hilltop!

September and changed careers! Hallie is selling real estate in Boston for William Raveis. ■ Colby Brown got engaged in October and his fiancée graduated from Case Dental School this past May. Colby is finishing up his second year of residency. ■ Is there a doctor in the house?

Yes! Shannon Karpovitz-Pereira graduated from school in May so you may now refer to her as Dr. Shannon KarpovitzPereira! She still has much studying to do, however, before taking her boards in July. Earlier this year Shannon caught up with Geoff Kearney over daiquiris. That’s Geoff’s favorite beverage. ■ Bill Nordlund and his wife, Cassandra, have a baby girl due in September! Bill sold his tech startup to Google for $1.4 billion … “Wait … that didn’t happen … nor does he have a tech startup …” ■ Settling into his venture capitalist shoes is Inbae Lee. Inbae has been going on a lot of business trips lately traveling to many places including Hong Kong, Jakarta, San Francisco, Shanghai and Frankfurt. ■ Eliza Ross is working as the event coordinator at Walker Fine Art in Denver, Colo. ■ Currently 300 miles into thru-hiking the Pacific Crest Trail is none other than Dave Sayer! Dave reports that it should take another 4-5 months to complete … so that is pretty much all that is going on with him this summer. ■ Geoff Kearney reports that the highlight of the past few months was the nuptials of the curator of these fine class notes. Geoff got to see Brad Hoover get hitched and meet his lovely new bride. “The ceremony was beautiful, and the reception was a blast. A bunch of us even got Brad’s dad to do a shot.” Geoff enjoyed catching up with Pavan Dharwadar, Tom Weismann

RodriguezMcGill, 4 Eld Street, New Haven, CT 06511, mrodriguezmcgill@gmail.com ■ After a decade of hype, our 10-year reunion came and went very quickly this May. About 25 classmates returned to Newport, bringing vitality to an otherwise overcast and poorly attended alumni weekend. When we all get together, it’s like going back in time. There has always been, and still is, a lot of love among the Class of 2006. Highlights from the weekend include: spending lots of time with the Petersons, running long tuck, a visit to Meryl’s bench, climbing the chapel tower, eating meals in King Hall (but also ordering Ming Moon), seeing half of “The Chase” and 25 percent of the “Top Ten,” listening to Sung Jun Hong’s hilarious commentary, Adam Choice’s stylish dance moves, Alec Brown’s topless dance moves, Mike Robey’s early bed time, Sarah Coffin’s Red Sox World Series ring, Beau Hill’s ripped pants, Jared Watson’s Snapchats, and Caroline “Cuca” Guenther buying champagne for all at the Clarke Cooke House. ■ There were a lot of singles-ready-to-mingle at the reunion, though we did get to meet Beau’s fiancée, Lemise, and Ian Cook’s fiancée, Jane. Mac Branin also brought his very tall and very beautiful, long-term girlfriend, Lindsay.

Others left their significant others at home (as per Field Osler’s instructions).

The open bar and amazing band had us dancing with the Classes of 1976 and 2011 all night. As always, Alec Brown was a delight to reunite with, having driven to Newport from Buffalo, N.Y., in Niagara Falls souvenir sandals. Wearing both a key to the school and an academic pentathlon medal from his St. George’s days around his neck, he performed a version of Beyonce’s “Halo” on the banjolin that will never be forgotten. ■ Some updates: Patrick Ehart is living in Cape Cod and running his family’s dry-cleaning business.

Mike Robey is finally quitting his finance job in NYC and moving to Boston to be an oyster farmer, furniture maker, historian or barista. Mac Branin is going to Fuqua School of Business at Duke University in the fall. Sid Richardson is also at

Westley A. Resendes, 200 N State Street, Unit 101, Ann Arbor, MI 48104, west.resendes@gmail.com ■ Hi all!

Here’s a big update from our class: ■ Benni Bilsing reports, “After my time at SG I finished my two last high school years in Düsseldorf, Germany. Following high school I decided to study a B.Sc. in Industrial Engineering in Karlsruhe (GER) and Linking (SWE). After several internships in the consulting and automotive industry, I then decided to change universities for my graduate/master’s program. I did a double degree in technology management in Munich as well as strategic management in Paris.”

Earlier this year, he visited South America and the United States, and is now working at The Boston Consulting Group in Germany. He also shares, “In relation to St. George’s, I recently had the chance to meet Patrik Herweck ’07 and his wife as well as my former host dad, Eberhard Rohm, in Paris, both of whom I was very happy to have seen again after many years. Still, I am very much in contact with Alex Layton ’09, and, of course, my good old roommate Giuseppe Cicero. I hope you

and the rest of the SG crew are doing great!” ■ As for Giuseppe Cicero, he has been quite busy since graduation. He graduated cum laude from the University of Tor Vergata in Rome, completing his dental education and graduating with a DDS degree. Following graduation, Dr. Cicero practiced for one year as a general dentist in his family offices in Rome, Palermo and Marsala. Dr. Cicero has done extensive research on dental pulp stem cells, currently directing two research projects on dental pulp stem cells and bone regeneration. He has lectured throughout the United States, Italy and Spain. He is one of the first experts to apply 3D printing in oral bone reconstruction. Giuseppe is currently completing his residency in the post-graduate periodontics program at NYU. ■ As always, we have a large contingent of our class in New York City. Alex Merchant got married this past June to Madeline Lagattuta, whom he met working on the Obama campaign during his gap year in 2008.

Samantha Moran is working in the tech space and loving it. Betsy Stavis is continuing to work in food and beverage PR as a senior account executive at Lane PR, a boutique firm based in Portland,

Hwang is in Seoul, South Korea, where she continues to work in her studio on her art — in particular, painting, drawing and printmaking. She celebrated her recent birthday by baking a cake with her mom for the first time in her life; she reports that the cake “didn’t turn out as perfect, but it was still very delicious.” ■ Mariana Tellez has relocated from Tokyo to Sydney, and Stockton Bullitt is halfway through law school at Michigan. William Bruce reports that he is still in Atlanta and now has three nieces and nephews! ■ Julian Ciany is keeping up his well-known passion for music in Nashville, where he plays in a couple of different projects.

He reports, “I’m working numerous day jobs to save up and start my own business, which will be a combination of a record store, practice space and venue here in Nashville.” We’ll have to watch out for Jules’ music business someday! ■ Kimberly Drew is working as the associate online community producer at The Metropolitan Museum of Art. According to Kim: “It’s a funky title ... in other words I manage the Museum’s social media channels.” What Kim fails to mention is that she’s kicking butt in the art world, as she is bringing black contemporary art to the forefront of the public consciousness.

She has delivered lectures and participated in panel discussions at the New Museum of Contemporary Art, the Performa Biennial, The Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture, Art Basel, the Brooklyn Museum and elsewhere.

Check out her Instagram @museummammy! ■ Will Westerfield writes, “I left my job as a geologist in the Colorado oil and gas industry early in 2016 after three years in order to pursue fresh tracks in thigh-deep powder wherever I could in the western United States — ‘Powder Chasing,’ as it is commonly referred to.

After many successfully powder-chasing missions during the course of the winter, I studied for and took the GMAT before once again heading out on the road.

I am currently on the southern coast of Oregon, four weeks into a camping road trip with plans to return to Colorado to once again seek employment.” ■ Will Mason recently founded UploadVR, a virtual-reality company based in San Francisco. Established in 2014, UploadVR has grown into the leading publication

O’Rourke shares, “I live in Charlestown, Mass., and am working for Putnam Investments as a wholesaler covering the Philadelphia market. Got to see Ollie Scholle a good amount over the winter while he was home — needless to say we had a few late nights. Looking forward to playing a lot of golf this summer and spending time down in R.I.” ■ In Florida, Sofia Covarrubias shares, “Recently my husband and I got hooked on rugby, and I never knew how much I loved the sport until my husband started playing! While I am not about to become a rugby player myself, I am very happy to be a #rugbywife!” ■ Ellie Myers reports, “I met up with several SG ’08 grads for Allie Boynton’s wedding to Bertie Cayzer in August including Allie, Kathryn Connor, Alex Regan, Harriet Manice, Alia Eads, Peter Miller, Angus Anderson, Chris Swanson and Michael Miller!! The wedding was beautiful and Allie snuck in a few St. George’s tunes into the ceremony (“Jerusalem” and the “Hymn for St. George’s Day”).” ■ Geoff Pedrick hasn’t been back to the Hilltop recently, but was still able to hear some of the exciting things going on there at the recent SG reception in Chicago. He had a good time catching up with the Petersons, as well as Field Osler ’06, Darcey O’Halloran ’06 and Cole Weil ’05. ■ Still headquartered in D.C., the globetrotting Will O’Connor writes, “I’m currently the weekend editor for The Daily Beast and am still writing about books, art and travel. In the past calendar year, I have been to Uruguay, Argentina, Brazil, Mexico, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Finland, Sweden, Italy, France, Morocco, Spain, Croatia and Ukraine and nine new U.S. states. Feeling a bit nostalgic as the fifth and final O’Connor (Jack) ’16 graduated from SG this spring.” ■ Charleen Conlogue reports, “I traveled around Australia for two months this winter, went scuba diving, hiking and camping in the area. It was amazing! Right now, I am in graduate school at USC for marine biology and GIS. I have started my own nonprofit that focuses on educating high-school students in Southern California about marine conservation, environmental management and scuba diving. I am also working as an environmental marine consultant for an organization.” ■ Si Yeun

Bend, Ore., where she has been living with her boyfriend, Sam, who is a firefighter, since college graduation. At presstime, Hilary reported, “I either want to go into emergency room nursing or pediatrics (maybe work in the PICU as a combo of those areas?!)” ■ Eliza Foster is now working at Lawrence Academy where she is teaching history and coaching field hockey, hockey and lacrosse. She reports that she “actually coached against Mrs. Richards last weekend — that was funny!”

Not too far away, Ellie McDonald is at Deerfield Academy where she teaches AP Spanish and Spanish 3 and is coaching JV lacrosse and varsity field hockey. Ellie is living with freshmen girls during the school year, co-led a June trip to Granada, Spain, and enjoys “living the teacher life with time off!” Also teaching is Kelsey Crowther, who is working as a second-grade teacher in Melrose, Mass., and as an RA for A Better Chance of Andover. ■ We have an update from the male counterpart of our SG class lovebirds, Chris Fogg and Allie Conti: “Allie is doing very well. She just finished her second year of law school at Stetson University in Gulfport, Fla.; one more to go. She made honor roll and competes on the Alternative Dispute Resolution Team.

She is also finishing her MBA through the same school. This summer she landed a great internship with a medium-size firm in Sarasota (I can’t remember the name!)

I finished my own graduate program in December 2015, a master’s in mineral economics from the Colorado School of Mines. I’m currently working in strategic analysis for a large mining company in Denver. Allie and I visit each other often, and though the distance is tough, we are both very happy pursuing our respective passions. After she takes the bar, we’ll decide where to settle. Targeting a wedding next summer/fall.” We wish you two the best of luck in the next year to come, and we look forward to the wedding! ■ Brian Lowry recently started working as an associate at Crestwood Advisors, and is “still living the dream” in Coolidge Corner (Brookline), Mass., and “continues to kill Angus Anderson on the squash court.” Angus is still living in the Seaport of Boston and working at a rapidly growing software company as a manager of financial planning and analysis. ■ Devin

in the industry, recently raising a $1.5M seed to expand their efforts into coworking with the Upload Collective and developer education initiatives with the VR Academy, which hosted its first class of developers this summer. The company opened their first space in April of this year and it is already full. Congrats, Will.

Things are really taking off for you! ■ As for me, I wrapped up my paralegal position in Ann Arbor and went with my brothers on their first trip to Disney World (and, of course, terrified 9-year-old Landon by taking him on rides he wasn’t ready for). I also briefly bummed around this summer between various cities in the U.S., including a road trip with my college roommates from Las Vegas to Los Angeles with a long stop at the Grand Canyon, and am now in New Haven where I am starting my first year at Yale Law School.

2009

Isabel H. Evans, 447 East 57th Street, New York, NY 10022, 212-371-1193, Izzyevans22@ gmail.com ■ Hi everyone!! It is May 2016 as I write this but by the time you are reading this Donald Trump has probably been elected our president and most of us have fled the country (Ahem, note most. I know some of you are really on the Trump train. Just admit it, sickos!).

Anyway, sorry, I didn’t mean to start on a partisan note. Lots to report on from the last few months! ■ I’ll start with the biggest news. Lulu Keszler has given birth to a beautiful baby girl, Nadine Nicki Manley! Congratulations! Lulu is the first mother of our class, which means she’s a MOTHER OF DRAGONS! Get it? I know you do, Clay Davis. ■ I see Campbell McNicol and Tutti Davis often for drinks, which is very fun. Tutti is still teaching and has a heart of gold and Campbell is still a shrewd, witty woman with a very attractive boyfriend. Christina Haack and Annie Warren were supposed to join us once but both bailed shortly before so, whatever, no updates on them … lolol (They’re both doing cool things, too, but I shan’t include them.) ■ Callie McBreen and Meredith Kaufman are each finishing up their 1L years at law school. Meredith somehow found time between studying to engage in many mountainous activities. In case

you were unaware, she loves Colorado and hates the East Coast! ■ Diatre Padilla now works at the Architectural League of New York and moonlights as Beyoncé’s part-time publicist. Paige Ehart is now working at an investment-banking firm in Boston after finishing up courses at Harvard. Justin Hoffmann is a full-time member of the Sanders campaign and an unapologetic Bernie Bro. Between us, it’s rumored Justin was the first person to throw a chair at the Nevada convention!

■ In other news, for this edition I received a beautiful compilation of updates from many young men in our class. In the past, I have had to rely on my well-honed, time-honored social-media sleuthing skills to gain insight into their lives. Sadly, this often yielded some less-than-accurate results or what those in the legal profession may call “hearsay.” Here are some of their recent updates for real (summary: they’re all super outdoorsy): ■ Peter Lawson-Johnston worked for two years in the real-estate development business in Charleston S.C. He has since moved on to pursue a career in the outdoor industry, working for a multiplatform fishing and outdoor network in Charleston called Badfish TV. ■ Drew Miller has been working for an investment and trading firm in New York City. An outdoorsman at heart, he loves getting out to the Western U.S., and spending time fly fishing, hiking and shredding bumps. ■ Nate Pearson is living in Denver working as a policy and budget analyst in the Office of Governor John W. Hickenlooper. He focuses on natural resources and transportation issues, and performs in-depth cost-benefit analysis in a number of other policy areas. No doubt he’s fighting the good fight. ■ Doyle Stack recently moved to New York City from Los Angeles where he had been working and living for the past two years. He started working at the United Talent Agency and is often witnessed pretending to be Ari Gold. ■ Teddy Collins has been guiding for the last three years for a fishing lodge in Russia and will continue to guide in the western U.S., starting this summer. He plans to work in the ski industry during the winter months, likely in Colorado or Wyoming. ■ Sam Kinney has been living in Colorado and started his path down what looks to be a promising career as an entrepreneur. Taking advantage of Colorado’s

recent law changes, Sam co-founded 4-2Oh, a wholesale producer and distributor for the state’s new “blossoming” industry.

■ Nick Baker currently resides in San Francisco where he works in insurance.

He enjoys the beautiful parks, long walks on the beach and is exploring all California has to offer. ■ Patrick Guerriero works for an investment management firm in New York City. On the weekends he enjoys roller blading with his squad referred to as the “Blade Runners” and occasionally falling in love. ■ Thomas Growney moved into NYC in January and lives with fellow SG alum Kyle Corkery ’08 (both new members of the Blade Runners). He works at a mortgage investment firm in Connecticut. Last winter he was an assistant coach for a youth Squirt hockey team that went on to be runner-up in their state tournament. ■ Halsey Landon recently moved to Denver after living in Telluride, Colo., for the past two years. He works at 1908 Brands, a brand-management company focused on promoting natural and sustainable products. ■ Nick Biedron lives and works in New York City doing commercial real estate sales. He looks up to Donald Trump whom he models his behavior after, although was devastated to hear Ralph Nader was not running this year. ■ After living with Drew Miller for a year in Manhattan, John Harris moved out to Brooklyn where he has been working for Union Beer, a craft beer distributor serving all five boroughs and representing 80 domestic and import brands. He enjoys regularly spending time with his former SG classmates living in NYC. ■ OK, that’s it for now. Hope this many notes means we can extort the alumni office for gear and treats!

But, hey, who’s really keeping score here.)

Would love to meet up with any alums in the area!” I was relieved to find out later that Hillary is recovering well and will be back in action soon. ■ Victoria Leonard is also on her way to an exciting post-grad opportunity abroad: “I’m moving to Dar es Salaam to work as a Princeton in Africa Fellow at Comprehensive CommunityBased Rehabilitation in Tanzania (CCBRT), an organization that provides corrective surgery, rehab and child and maternal health services. So pumped! Open invitation to all for visits!” ■ Caroline Miller’s adventures continue to entertain. She wrote, “So my plans post-Cusco are still in the making, but I’ll be coming home at the end of July and working with the R.I. International Film Festival in August.

Then I’ll just be home working odd jobs that could include (but are not limited to) driving a Zamboni, lifeguarding, bartending, trying to get paid as a DJ, coaching field hockey at my old middle/elementary school and really any interesting part-time work. I’ll also be applying to graduate schools for screenwriting with the intention of starting graduate school in the fall of 2017. I am planning to head out to Utah for the winter to work a ski season and try to get an internship with the Sundance Film Festival. “Cooking with Carla” will certainly continue wherever I end up :-).” If you haven’t checked it out, I highly recommend Caroline’s Snapchat cooking show, featuring dance breaks and her cute

You’ll have to cross the Mason-Dixon line if you plan on seeing him in the next seven years. When I asked him what he’s studying in school, he said, “I’m learning about breathing ... which is really annoying to learn about because you become hyper-aware of your own breathing.” ■ Rachel Sellstone said, “I am living in Maryland with Dr. Second Lieutenant Chuck,” i.e. our own Chad Larcom. She’s working in the Global Health bureau at USAID on maternal/newborn/child health policy — and she can see the Pentagon from her window! ■ Linnie Gummo is getting her master’s degree in “medical laboratory sciences,” which she explained as similar to a master’s in microbiology. ■ Emily Adams is also in the health and medicine field — “I’m working as a research technician in a neurobiology lab at Mass General Hospital researching frontotemporal dementia,” she wrote. ■ Rachel Asbel is working as an assistant in interior design at a small firm in Providence. Most of the work involves designing local restaurant interiors, but her most recent project was the redesign of all the dressing rooms at “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon” in New York. ■ Graham Anderson kept it brief and efficient, as always, with: “Living

in NYC (ppl, come visit me) working many hours in finance at Bank of America.” ■ And I’m excited to be combining health research and writing. I recently started working as a research consultant and writer for a small office in Massachusetts that focuses on corporate accountability, workers’ rights, and environmental and occupational health. My first case involves researching the largest swine factory farm operation in the country and its effects on human health.

John Jongmin Kim, 1237 Main Street, Concord, MA 01742, 978-371-3461, jjk90@georgetown.edu ■ Hope all is well, Class of 2014. Another year has passed, and many of us are now rising juniors.

Anyway, here we go. I basically asked around for kids in our class to update me on their life, including any summer internships, travel plans and reflections on the past year. Sadly, response rate was very low this time (less than 10). But those who did message me had interesting stories to tell. I also had the chance to catch up with some of you guys in more detail. ■ For me, Georgetown has been great. I still see the SG crew quite often, some more often than others. Luc Woodard is killing it as always. I had one finance class with him this spring, which he almost never came to, but I’m pretty sure he did much better than I did in the class. Thomas Kits van Heyningen is also doing great stuff on campus. I saw him a couple weeks ago taking a midnight nap on the grass in front of my dorm.

He is going to Barcelona over summer to study marketing and entrepreneurship at ESADE. He recently declared a finance and marketing major at Georgetown. Lexi

Roger Dorr joined the Georgetown crew from GW, and he still sails.

arts classes, so my overall portfolio has greatly improved! I also got into electronic music and was able to perform for a big audience for my electronic music class’ final project. It was an amazing experience!” In terms of SG at MICA, she mentioned that she’s the only one since Keaton Johnson ’11 graduated. She added, “I still talk to quite a lot of people from SG. Friends from the same grade, CJ Park ’13, Hikari Hasegawa ’13 and so on. I keep in touch with Mr. Mudrak, too. I used to keep in touch frequently with Ms. Wilber. It was devastating to learn that she passed away.” ■ Grace Polk, as many of us know, transferred to Notre Dame for sophomore year. She mentioned that her transfer from GW went really well. She also said, “I’m interning for the Brewster Whitecaps, a Cape Cod League baseball team. I’m still in touch with lots of SG alumni and faculty. We need more SG people at ND though!” Grace is majoring in American Studies and Spanish. ■ Drew Duff is a frat star. ■ Finally, Lexi LaShelle, in addition to preparing for her study abroad in Florence, is keeping the SG connection strong. She said, “I hosted an SG get together, ‘Christmas in Connecticut’ at my house in New Canaan. Twenty-two members of the Class of 2014 and three from the Class of 2012 came from all over.

There was Christmas ham and homemade mac and cheese and it was very festive and merry!” She added, “The SG network at Georgetown is ‘tight’ as everyone knows.” Lexi also mentioned something about a love affair between Caroline Yerkes and Avery Dodd. Not sure about the details. Also apparently lots of crystal glasses were broken. Not sure what that means either. ■ That’s it for now. It’s great to hear that a lot of you are having a blast in college. Keep in touch, and make sure to FB message me for the next Bulletin!

the same city as her. I see Bethany Fowler ’13 every once and a while at Rice as well!

I hope to do my best to stay in touch with all of you wonderful people and am grateful for social media and cellular devices that allow for birthday texts and Snapchats to keep the SG network intact despite many miles between all of us.

I’m also still in touch with Mrs. Sabourin, the best advisor ever. Finally, I was lucky enough to get breakfast with the lovely-as-always Mulligans (Father Ned and Pam), as Father Mulligan now works at St. John’s School, a private Episcopal school here in Houston. So fun to have a little bit of SG all the way in Texas!” She continued, “Sophomore year was hard but good. Despite a few existential crises, too little sleep, and a bit of an over commitment problem, I am really happy at Rice.

This past semester, I had an internship at the public policy think tank on campus, Baker Institute for Public Policy, where I worked as a fellow in disease and poverty researching physician awareness of neglected tropical diseases (i.e. Chagas disease, West Nile virus, dengue fever). I got to go to Cuba through a Spanish class over spring break, which was an incredible experience. I am student association external vice president for the 2016-2017 year and am excited to be site-leading an alternative Spring Break to San Francisco focused on HIV/AIDS and stigma and other sociocultural components of biological diseases that impact patients’ mental health. I am thankful to Mr. Evans for starting my interest in this complex condition in microbiology and AP biology senior year. I also love my weekly Sunday morning visit to Texas Children Hospital where I get to color Superman and Spiderman pictures, talk to amazingly tough and adorable kids, and get outside the Rice bubble. I am pre-med and majoring in policy studies in healthcare, Latin American studies and Spanish.” ■ According to Veronica Tsai, summer is off to a great start. She said, “This summer I’m back home in Taiwan. I’ll be interning at an architecture firm called Q-Lab. I’m studying architectural design at MICA so it’s very relevant. I’ll be traveling to Tokyo in August after my internship.” She went on to say, “Sophomore year has been a great year; I did a lot of great projects both in architecture and interactive

st. george’s school

from Philadelphia University to Johnson and Wales University this fall to be closer to home. I’ll be going to the same school as my brother, Billy Reed ’15, so that should be exciting, too.” ■ Christian Anderson is doing great things, too. He said, “I’m going to be coaching football and lacrosse at a camp up in Maine to high school-aged kids this summer. I’m looking to teach and coach at a prep school so I think this is going to be a really good opportunity to get some experience working with high school athletes and learning how to teach and coach them as well as transition from being a prep school student to being a prep school faculty member.” He continued, “I see Will Nyamwange ’15 all the time since we’re both at Hamilton and playing football and we see Katherine Bauer from time to time as well. Morgan Buffum ’13 came up to visit and I go down to R.I., with him every break.” With regard to sophomore year, he said, “It was very solid. I declared as a history major with economics and government minors and worked as the campus rep for Yik Yak, Belltower books, managed girls hockey games and was elected as vice president of member ed in my fraternity as well as the chair of social media for the Student Athlete Advisory Committee, which helps share information and initiatives between colleges and the NCAA.” ■ Hannah Todd updated us, too.

She said, “I am in Austin this summer with an internship for the city/county medical director working on public health initiatives (unsure as to what exactly I’ll be doing!). I will also be a counselor at a sleep-away-camp for children with muscular dystrophy for a week and am taking the second semester of organic chemistry at University of Texas (Yay, pre-med requirements!). I am still really interested in medicine/public health and am excited to be pursuing them through career.” She’s also remained well connected with the SG crowd. She said, “I am actually on my way home from a trip up East where I got to relive my roommate glory days with Norah Hogan, who is unbelievably cooler than me, in New York and then caught up with Josephine Cannell ’13, who seems to be killing it at Davidson, in Boston. I see Margaret Cardwell sporadically during visits home but am looking forward to a summer in

Man of the House My family is different than most. It is just my mother, my four sisters and me. When we were younger, my mom worked as a part-time teacher and basketball coach, a garden center manager, and a bartender simultaneously just to be able to put us through school and keep food on the table.

All five of us knew how much she sacrificed.

We moved often, and as a result, I had attended five different schools in five years. I became a master of change and adversity. While it seemed like everything was unstable, the one thing that never changed was how close we all were. Not only were we a family, but we were best friends.

I would look out for my sisters and they would watch my back. They would tell me their secrets and I would tell them mine. More than anything else, growing up in a house with five women has shaped the man I am today.

I always get asked the question, “Don’t you wish you had a brother sometimes?” The thought never really crosses my mind. When I was younger, I never struggled to find someone to play catch with, because at least one of my sisters was already nagging me to come outside and play. They would be the first ones to start up a game of kickball or Wiffle ball, and quite honestly, they were better than any of the guys in the neighborhood. Now I could pretend like all I did growing up was play sports in the park, but that was not the case. My older sisters refused to acknowledge my masculinity, and when it was time to come inside, I was often subject to makeovers and games of hair salon. As we all got older, my sisters began having crushes, and I really got to see things from the other side. I often saw tears and had to listen to them vent or gossip and it shaped my understanding of what it means to be a good man. Sure I may not have played as many video

games as the average boy, but I wouldn’t change it for the world. How many teenage boys can say they know how to braid hair or can recite half of the lines from the movie “Mean Girls”?

As I got older, I felt a growing desire to become the man of the house. A wave of responsibility crashed over me. I had to help with the things that my sisters could not. If something was broken or needed to be moved, I would hear my mom yelling out my name from down the hallway. I was skeptical of each and every boyfriend, because how could anyone be good enough for my sisters? I became very protective of my family, and did not take it lightly when someone insulted them or tried to take advantage of our situation. I knew that my mom sacrificed everything for us, and I wanted to do everything in my power to help out. Seeing how hard she works motivates me, and it is because of her that our family stayed so strong against all odds.

Growing up with all females has defined me. I have a sensitive side far greater than the average varsity linebacker and a sense of responsibility shaped by the experiences of my life. This year, my sister, Sarah, is getting married and not only will I be there when she goes wedding-dress shopping and picks out her shoes, but she has also asked me to walk her down the aisle — and that will be one of the most honorable and proud moments of my life. The best part about the wedding is welcoming another girl into the family: my new sister-in-law. 
