CLASS NOTES
summers in Nashville. I am pumped about David Lambeth’s engagement to Warner Underwood. Tracie and I are still teaching at Rabun Gap-Nacoochee School, and we are expecting a baby in early January. Hopefully more good news to come on that front.” More on the baby front, Anne Womble Hobart writes, “I had a baby as everyone should be well aware because I’m constantly posting Insta snaps of her…it’s basically my new job. I had Simms and am loving staying home with her. I enjoyed having Sarah Montz Harcus and her baby Parker come to visit this summer. Hoping that Parker and Simms will be future roomies at EHS. John and I recently went to Bermuda and we had a grand time with Nea and Lily Fowle ’09. She picked us up on her boat and we did Bermuda Nea-style for a day. It was truly amazing. She took us to see a shipwreck, we fed some fish, went snorkeling, and even parked the boat to swim in for lunch on the beach. I also enjoyed riding the Vespa with Lily. I refused to drive :) After years of waiting, I finally got to hear Nea say ‘round de corner up de hill’ in her homeland of Bermuda!!” Honor Alston Thornton just finished her masters in nursing from Duke this summer and is now doing a post-graduate certificate in cardiology through Duke to further specialize. Kind of impressive, I would say. She’s also expecting the birth of her second nephew over Thanksgiving, and loves being an aunt. Spencer Brown reports: “I’m finally back on the east coast coaching football at NC State. Love the south and happy to be in Raleigh. This is my second season, and we’re hoping to make a run at the ACC title.” Since I have no sports allegiances, I can safely say that I wish your team the best Spencer, no conflicts of interest here. Cate Smythe writes, “No puppies, babies, or engagements here, but my boyfriend Troy did just take me skydiving for my 29th birthday!! Huge check off the bucket list! Also, I’m slowly but surely starting up my own private dinner/catering service called Traveling Home Cook. If anyone is looking for private dinners or meal deliveries in the Charleston area, hit me up!” We do have a couple of brides-to-be, though. Carrie Coker is an English teacher 78
in Nashville and is getting married next May, and Peyton Killeen got engaged in September to a wonderful Sewanee guy. Wishing lots of happiness to both of them! Kingsley Trotter just started her third and final year at Vanderbilt Law School after spending the summer working in Brussels and having the opportunity to do substantive work in the international human rights law world. Though she found the work exciting and professionally fulfilling, she would prefer that I report only that her French bulldog, Margot, is very cute and is her best friend. I can say first-hand that Margot is very pleasant to hang out with but not super good at breathing quietly. Frances deSaussure Murray and her husband Billy just got a very cute golden retriever puppy named Auggie (after the main character in Wonder, an amazing book that she recommended to me and that everyone else should read, too.) Frances and Billy moved onto the EHS campus in July and are living in the second-floor apartment on Evans Dorm as she continues to teach math and work in admissions here on the Holy Hill. More news to come in the spring! I would love to report on a more diverse group of classmates than the ones I happen to be in closest touch with, so please reach out. If you ever have news, or questions about Episcopal, or want to hang out in DC, email me at margaretvonw@gmail.com.
