Our sincere condolences to Don Draper and sister Sandra Draper ’79, whose mother, Mabel Draper, died on May 16, 2011. Thespian Paul Giamatti came back to New Haven last April to receive the first-ever Louis Award from Mory’s. Haven Tyler reports, “The kids and I are still in Mass. Finn is entering 8th grade next year which is incredibly hard for me to believe! His interests are magic and karate. We are pulling for the magic scholarship to Harvard. Isabel is entering 7th grade next year, she is a budding thespian and athlete. She also has a very distinct fashion style — a mix between eighties neon and Punky Brewster. I always look forward to seeing what she will come downstairs wearing. Robyn is six and

Jim McCullough ’83 married Michelle Wiles on April 23.
is still waiting for his highness to arrive to whisk her away. Typical days entail multiple tiara changes. (All OK as long as she does not borrow mine!) I started a new job with a UK based consultancy in the winter, which is exciting and has me traveling all over. I saw Stephen Holt a few months back in NY; we had a great dinner together. Hope everyone is well; if you’re in Boston, give me a holler.”

Bun Lai, owner of the renowned Miya’s Sushi restaurant in New Haven, was honored with an alumni achievement award from Hamden Hall. Bun was recognized for his ecological activism and increasing awareness of sustainable food practices. John Wareck’s family company, Wareck Real Estate, has acquired Audubon Associates Real Estate, after its owner, beloved former Foote teacher and parent Margaret Brooks passed away in November 2010. John adds, “in addition to my involvement and Margaret’s estate’s involvement in this deal there were two other Foote related people involved. Kathy Priest (mother of Claire Priest ’86 and Juliana Priest ’93) was the attorney who oversaw the deal. Prish Pierce (mother of Nate Tyler ’84) was one of the Realtors who worked part time with Margaret and now part time with me. My point is that this was really an ‘all Foote’ deal.” Will DeVane writes, “Shari Birnbaum (wife) and I had twin girls on May 16. If any classmates are in Dallas we would love to see you.” See photo, above.
