for granted for a long time and now cherish. I wish I lived closer so I could send my own boys. As a middle school teacher, I am inspired by the teachers I had at Fenn and hope that I can matter one day to others the way that they did to me. I appreciate what you have done for generations of boys and am proud to be one of them. Even though I left after 7th grade to attend Groton, in my heart I am still a Fenn boy. Every year I bring my 7th grade students on a three-day Boston trip that begins with an early morning in Concord at the Old Rude Bridge [the North Bridge]. As we walk down the path I make it a point to wander off the main part so that I can show my kids my old school and tell them how great a time I had ‘just over there.’ It is one of my favorite parts of the whole trip and the kids love telling their parents that they saw where Mr. Mitchell went to 7th grade.”
1987 Jim Lichoulas writes, “My wife, Shannon, gave birth to our third child last May. We are the proud parents of James (Mac) age 8, Hannah (5), and Allie, soon to be 1. We are living in New Hampshire, but I still work in the field of real estate development in Massachusetts.”

Charlie Kessler was one of two boys to receive the Austin Fox Riggs Award at Prize Day this year. Here he is shown with his dad, Nat Kessler ’86, who was presented with the same award 34 years ago.
Ned Jastromb reports, “Having recently moved back to Boston, we’ve enjoyed getting reacquainted with family and friends while living in Waltham. Madina, Eric, and Jack were all disappointed by the mild winter, so I guess skiing will have to wait. Let us know if anyone is moving. (Ha!)”
