Jason Regan ’88 and family on their recent trip to Croatia
Congratulations, Alex! Every time I read a note/email from you, Alex, it takes me right back to OB; let’s climb all the !&*!*% mountains!! … Cricket Kelleher Braun is “in the process of finishing up my doctorate in clinical psychology (ABD, as they say) and working as a Predoctoral Intern in Counseling and Psychiatry Services at the University of Vermont. Our family life seems to get busier as the kids get older: Cally (16), Tatum (14), Walter (12) and William (12). We are enjoying Vermont and managed to get a lot of skiing in (both nordic and alpine), despite our low-snow winter. I haven’t been back to Holderness in too long but had fun cheering for Holderness students at NENSA Nordic races this past winter.” … Ace Eaton and his family recently moved to Attleboro, MA: “Pamela and I moved with the kids (Chip, five, and Mason, four) when she started work with Colgate Palmolive last fall. We found a terrific home and love the area. It’s not quite as pretty as New Hampshire, but there are lots of fun activities for the boys! I’m still in the energy business working for Standard Power, and I’m looking forward to a good golf season.” … . Nothing really new to report from me; most of you know that I had a difficult year losing my Dad somewhat unexpectedly. Thank you for all the nice notes; it seems that many of us have been dealing with the loss of family members over the recent years. My father had a favorite quote that my family keeps using as a touchstone for strength and remembrance of his val-
finer things: The Red Sox, The Ramones, and reggae music. … Erika (Ludtke) McGoldrick and family logged 4,800 miles on the road this summer, traveling up and down the East Coast from South Carolina to Maine and back. Much of the time was spent at her old stomping grounds in Waterville Valley. … Will Northrop and his wife Patty were gracious enough to host an alumni gathering this summer up in Sun Valley. Will finds himself busy with the usual mountain activities: cycling, running, and backcountry adventuring. … I ran into Chris Stewart this summer in East Hampton. He had just returned from a surfing excursion in Indonesia with his son JB who is an active athlete, as well an aspiring commercial actor; he can be seen in the recent IKEA campaign. … Lauren (O’Brien) Smith is enjoying her new private practice MeWe Relationships, life and relationship coaching, and juggling a family of three that includes Tague who is three, Jack who is a freshman at Duxbury High School, and her stepdaughter who just graduated from high school. … Hans Schemmel and family are busy with the birth of their new daughter Serena Avery, who was born on June 10. … David Warren made it to Rye Beach for Norm Walker’s Memorial Service. … Geordie Elkins has one Twitter follower: Brett Jones. … Renee Dupre still lives in Steamboat where she teaches yoga and is hooked on zumba. Her two daughters Berit (6) and Mia (4) are on track for a little Nordic Combined this Winter. Renee’s husband Eric plays

ues and beliefs: “The wilderness will lead you to your heart where I will speak –Hosea.” I thought there may be some of you out there who would appreciate that sentiment as well. I hope that everyone had an amazing summer—it went by too quickly—and that everyone is happy and healthy.

’88 Matt Schonwald skied powder this summer on Mt. Elbrus in Russia, aka the Roof of Europe. … Liz Ganem hung out with Renee Dupre in Malibu last spring, and recently spent some time with Nina “Ninja” (Bradley) Smallhorn. Nina continues to enjoy living in the Bay Area. She writes: “There are occasional run-ins with Ellyn Paine Weisel ’86 and Tegan Hamilton Hyunga ’90. We had a great East Coast tour this summer which brought up great memories of times past. Nantucket is a little different since the days of Grove Lane that is for sure. We were close but not close enough to visit Holderness, but next summer it’s on the list! I am planning on coming back for our 25th at the very least.” … Jake Eismeier has been schooling his 17-month-old daughter Josie Flynn Eismeier on some of the
mandolin in the bluegrass band, Old Town Pickers. They are headed to Ireland to tour the country for the International Horse Festival (Renee is their number one fan.). … Jason Regan writes: “We just got back from Croatia with the kids. Very cool country. We moved to Santa Cruz, CA in 2010 from the NYC area. It has been a great change. My youngest son has enjoyed learning to surf in the cold water. If anyone is out this way, please look me up.” … Peter Driscoll writes: “I am enjoying life in Annapolis with my sixyear-old Donovan and being a Partner in my own business in the financial services Industry.” … Alex MacCormick continues to enjoy life as an under-achieving golfer. He had seventy-five rounds in the books by mid-August; breaking last year’s record of 104 rounds seems likely. His new favorite course: Fisher’s Island. Alex is also looking forward to winter and some skiing and hockey.
