Conn., where her daughter Leighton is in the same first grade class as the son of Dan Weiland ’90. Although Dabney is no longer in Portland, Ore., she and Jamie Skeen SchumannDahlberg continue to stay in touch, and she enjoys keeping up with Carla Perry Paisley and Shawn Peterson on Facebook. As of May, Elizabeth Shaum Delfosse was hoping to make the move to Baltimore County in the summer before her son Aidan started high school. Elizabeth graduated from the University of Maryland School of Nursing in December and became an R.N. on March 23. She says the licensing exam was “the worst test ever!” She’s working in the surgical acute unit at University of Maryland Medical Center and is relieved to not to have to study for a while. Her daughter Gwyn is now in the fifth grade. Sarah Taylor completed her time with the Army, and recently joined a private dermatology practice in Evans, Ga. Working part time and only seeing patients three days a week is a dream for her. Her kids — “two big girls and one last baby boy” — are now 9, 6, and 3. Her husband is still active duty in the Army as an allergist/immunologist physician. They travel when they can, enjoying Hilton Head, Atlanta, and Disney World.

her own social media consulting company, specializing in the culinary trades. Kristin and her husband have two beautiful girls, ages 11 and 14. As a family, they’ve started an exciting collaboration of documenting the stories and recipes of immigrant and refugee families living in their community. On the side, Kristin is a running team captain for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society, which raises money for blood cancer research and treatment. She started running to honor her dad, who is in treatment for Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia, and completed her seventh half-marathon on Mother’s Day. Kristin welcomes all Friends Schoolers to reach out when they are in Maine. Email her at kafcooks@gmail.com. My wife Wendy and I sent our daughter Emmy, 5, off on the school bus to kindergarten this fall. Her sister Kaitlyn, 8, is in third grade. Both attend Oak Hill Elementary School in Severna Park. I’m busy and at times overwhelmed with Lord of the Pies, the business I started two years ago. Our pies and cheesecakes are now in 30 grocery stores and steadily growing. As the years pass it has been more and more gratifying to keep up with classmates. We’re missing about 20 people from our Facebook group so please let me know if you want to join.

carolinemallonee@gmail.com Save the Date! Alumni Weekend 2018 and 25th Reunion Celebration: May 3-6, 2018 The Class of 1993 lost Jessica Harrison Belzberg on February 24, 2017. She is survived by her husband Adam and their three children, Elias, Asher, and Ayela; her parents, Bruce and Marlene, her sister, Tracy Harrison Garcia ’95, and her grandmother. Jessica believed in the importance of visual arts to the development of children, not just from an educational perspective but as a platform for creative and emotional expression. She loved volunteering in art activities at the kids’ schools and did so with passion and vigor. Her family has established the Jess4KidsArt Fund to provide children in the Seattle, Wash.-area with positive exposure to the visual arts.
