July 1, 2009. Elizabeth has her hands full with Bennett and his 3-year-old sister, Lilly. In January, Lizzie Wellons Hartman hosted Elizabeth, Wray Barber, Alyson Evans Beha, Margaret Kopp, and me for a weekend at her new home in Atlanta. Despite the absurdly freezing temps, we had a wonderful time catching up. Lizzie moved to Atlanta last summer and is working as a counselor at Skyland Trail, an adult mental health facility. Margaret is still loving her first year of law school at UNC. Wray is getting ready to graduate from Tuck School of Business at Dartmouth, and Alyson is preparing to make the move into a new apartment in Brooklyn. Nothing new from me – still writing, living in Richmond, Va., and waiting for warmer weather. I hope the rest of the Class of ’98 is doing well – if you haven’t updated us in awhile, you should be expecting the next “offensive” in a few months. (It’s not as bad as it sounds.) Until then, happy spring!

Schuyler Williams schuyler13@gmail.com and Maisie Cunningham maisie.cunningham@gmail.com 10th Reunion: June 11-12, 2010
As usual, the Class of 2000 has been busy and shared a lot of exciting news! This past fall and winter included many EHS gatherings, beginning in November with the fabulous wedding of Alicia Ravenel to Ed Boyd in her hometown of Charleston, S.C. If you can believe it, there were too many EHS graduates to even attempt to take an alumni picture! If memory serves, the following were present: Sarah
Ravenel Dollens ’97 (Alicia’s sister), Schuyler Williams, Hattie Gruber, Lillian Smith (one of Alicia’s bridesmaids), Eliza Smith ’02, Summers Clarke Lacey, Stuart Rhodes ’01, Shepard Rose ’97, Jean Prentice Manning ’02, Rawlins Lowndes, Ben Geer ’99, Lyles Geer ’02, Beverly Mebane ’02, Sara Caughman ’03, Katherine Maybank ’98, Elizabeth Pope Smithgall, Donnell “Beatle” Smith ’69, and Katie Rose Trotter ’95. And from the generations ahead of us: Peter Read ’56, Mayo Read ’53, Henry Smythe ’66, and Tom Waring ’62. Right after Alicia’s wedding, I made an inaugural, albeit last-minute, trip to Austin, Texas, where I had a chance to catch up with Tate ’95 and Alexis Lambeth ’95 and Anne Perry Swift and her husband at the UT vs. Kansas game. I even met a few of the cast members from “Friday Night Lights”…the one and only Tim Riggins (Taylor Kitsch), Landry Clarke (Jesse Plemons), and Billy

Riggins (Derek Phillips.) Needless to say, Austin definitely lived up to the hype, and I plan to get back there sooner rather than later! Hattie and I spent New Year’s Eve in Palm Beach, Fla., where we enjoyed several glorious days with big group of EHS grads including my brothers, Victor Maddux ’93 and Hunter Williams ’02, Cary Goodwin ’93, Tate Lambeth ’95, John Hooff ’95 and his wife, McLean, Winfield Sickles ’95, Philip Nuttle, and Elizabeth Hossfeld. It was quite an eclectic group running around town and a holiday tradition that we hope to maintain for years to come! Hattie and I continue to see fellow EHS grads in N.Y.C., including Allison Jones, who got engaged in December to Ryan
