30th Reunion: June 11-12, 2010
Hello. I hope all is well with everyone. Please take the time to update your contact information via the Web or over the phone with The High School in order to make sure that your contact information is current and up to date. We will be receiving information soon regarding our 30th Reunion to be held on June 11-12, 2010 – yes, I did say 30th. I heard from the following Old Boy classmates: Greg Green, George Ibrahim, Nick Landi, Pierre Manigault, and David White. David White writes, “I have published a third book, titled ‘A Man of Character,’ about an inner-city Los Angeles basketball coach, who tries to build a program from scratch. It is a fictional piece but based on my reporter’s coverage of basketball in innercity Birmingham and particularly a coach named William ‘Cap’ Brown, who was an inspiration to so many kids in the city. You can get it on Amazon.com. I have a fourth book, titled ‘A Stroke of Genius,’ coming out in the spring.” (David, I hope my punctuation is correct or at least you can see my attempt.) Greg Green writes, “Got your EHS e-mail about the reunion. I hope to be there, as well as many others. I am living on the Outer Banks of North Carolina now selling real estate at a snail’s pace these days at www.landandsearealty.com. I have been managing/waiting tables at a very popular restaurant called Pamlico Jack’s Pirate Hideaway in Nags Head. For the past 10 years, I have also been a federal agent with FEMA, which has been most of my income recently due to the amount of disasters and such that we have incurred. Times are okay. I am still single.” George Ibrahim writes, “Great to hear from you. You have the correct e-mail obviously. I have
30th Reunion: June 2011
The Taylor family had a mini-EHS reunion in Burlington, N.C., on June 21 with (left to right) Clayton Simon, Crystal Taylor-Simon ’96, Martiez Taylor ’91, Alyce Marie Taylor (Class of 2027), Deirdra Taylor, and Juergen Taylor ’81.
two girls (Taylor ’10 and Khoury ’10), who are seniors at The High School. I am hanging out in Asheville, having practiced urology for 15 years, and now am a wine distributor. I have a son, George, who is at Christ School in Arden, N.C., where he is a thirdyear boarder now in 10th grade.” Nick Landi writes, “I hope all is well with you. My year is busy. I opened an Edward Jones office this summer. (I have been with them for two years.) My son is a senior at UNCG and my daughter is a sophomore at N.C. State University. I do see Hamilton Baird one to two times a month, and he and I rode (with my wife, Tracy) up to the Woodberry game. I am looking forward to the 30th Reunion, and if I can help, let me know. Take care. I hope to see you next summer.” Pierre Manigault reports, “Hope and trust you’re well. I’m still in Charleston, with a million other Old Boys. Two daughters: India (11) and Gigi (8). Lights of my life! Remarried after five years divorced. Kris Brewer’s her name. We were married April 25 of this year and spent the summer honeymooning in Africa, Holland, Costa Rica, and New England. Travel bug kind of bit us. I’m still chairman of Evening Post Publishing Co., our family-controlled media biz. I also own and publish, independently, Garden and Gun magazine, a celebration of Southern culture. Hope you get it!

Juergen Taylor reports, “Deirdra and I announce the birth of our daughter, Alyce Marie Taylor, on April 7, 2009, shortly after celebrating our first wedding anniversary on April 2, 2009. (See photos.)

not, do. I catch up with the usual EHS suspects whenever possible: Fran, Gilly, Moultrie, Buist, Wilson, Grimball, Ingle, Allston Moore ’83, etc. The economy stinks and I’m getting grey ... Otherwise, life is grand.” Jeff Flynn says, “All’s well in Baltimore. Just trying to manage (or at least my wife is) two knucklehead ADD teenagers. We spent some time on Martha’s Vineyard this summer with T Bird and his bride, Dianna. I see Todd Gray ’82 every now and then, when I’m looking for a good meal after work in D.C. It would be fun to get a good crowd for the 30th Reunion!” Thanks to you five for responding and sending in some news. It is always nice to hear from everyone. Please make an attempt to get some news to me or the Alumni Office so that I can include the information in an
