Many classmates shared that they keep in regular touch via Facebook, something I am committed to doing more frequently to stay in closer touch with you all! I continue at Children’s Hospital Colorado as clinical nurse ethicist and co-chair of the ethics committee (first time a nurse has served in the role in the history of the institution. Wild!) and am delighted to serve as one of your class captains. I love hearing and sharing your news!

Class Captain Reed von Gal Donahue writes, “I am still co-directing a preschool in Newton, MA, where I live with my husband Mike, son Connor, daughter Mackenzie, and our two dogs, Fletcher and Wilson. Connor graduated high school and will be attending NYU in the fall. Mackenzie will be entering her senior year in the fall, and then next year we will be empty-nesters.”
Hilary Healey Watson writes, “We are moving back to Greenwich in July after three years in Zug, Switzerland. Jane will be back at GA in Group IX and Josie will be a freshman at Tufts. It’s been an unbelievable adventure for all of us, but we look forward to being back stateside.”

Stacy Rukeyser writes, “Clark and I welcomed our second son, Whitman Louis Peterson, on May 19, 2014. He was a big baby, 9 pounds, 9 ounces, and the labor was super short (2 hours, 10 minutes). Certainly an exciting combination, and a fitting beginning to what we promised Whitman would be

a very adventurous life. Big brother Truman is also doing well. I will soon return to work on my latest TV writing gig, Unreal, coming sometime next year to Lifetime.” Alexa Whyte Cedolin shares: “I’m currently working in the investment office at Boston Children’s Hospital, and we are living in Charlestown. My husband Brad is from Putnam Valley, NY, but relocated to Boston in 2012 for his job, and we met here. He works as an operations manager at Diversified Automotive, a shipping and transport company in Charlestown. His family has a place down on Anna Maria Island, FL, where we were married in May, and we hope to move down there sometime next year. I am ready for a change from the Northeast! My (now our) dog Blu (7-year-old Black Labrador) walked me down the aisle. He’s a certified therapy dog who works with autistic kids and hospice patients.”

Maggie O’Sullivan writes, “I am a founding school leader of a charter school called Rainier Prep, and I am so proud to announce that the Washington State Charter School Commission approved Rainier Prep’s proposal to open one of the first public charter schools in Washington State. We are excited to begin the journey of opening a rigorous college prep middle school serving the families and students of Highline. We are looking forward to the next phase of work as we prepare to open our doors in September 2015.”
Annabelle Whitby Zastrow is doing great! She recently spent an afternoon with Kim Schwarzkopf in Seattle. She continues work as a veterinarian at Diamond Veterinary Associates in Everett, where she has been since 2000. She and her family live near Puget Sound with a distant view of the Port of Everett. On a gorgeous day, there’s no place Annabelle would rather be, although she admits the rainy gray winters are tough. A tradeoff for the fabulous bluebird days! Debra Phillips Leppla shares, “I live in Riverside, CT, with my family. I have two children, Olivia (9) and Reed (5), as well as one neurotic beagle. I work in real estate for Berkshire Hathaway in Old Greenwich, and I get to run into some GA and Brunswick friends here and there.” A big thanks to Christy Luth Andrisen for collecting this news. Christy writes: “Thank you so much for your responses to my email messages! I love receiving your updates and colorful pictures to share with our classmates. We are grateful for your gifts to Greenwich Academy. It is an honor to be your Class Captain since 1988!”

Class Captains Meredith McLean Gramelspacher and Ali Gianinno send this news: “As hard as it is to believe, we celebrated our 25th year reunion this year. We had about a third of our class attend the events starting on Friday evening at GA, then on to a dinner at Missey LaBov Dweck’s. On Saturday there was a BBQ and lacrosse game followed G R E E N W I C H AC A D E M Y.O R G
