workshops. It would be so fun to come back to KPS and speak about health and wellness! Check out my website (www.destinationwellness.us) if you wish.
Judy Joo took center stage as one of four (and the only female) Iron Chefs stepping up to the plate this April for the Iron Chef UK competition. I was thankful to Kris Juncker who provided a delightful recap (complete with screen captures!) for those of us following along in the States. The text can be found here, and I believe you can catch Judy on YouTube: http://krisinnotts.wordpress.com/ 2010/05/07/daily-iron-chef-uk-judyjoo-rocks-kitchen-stadium/. Judy also made her famous boozy bacon doughnuts on one of the last shows of Market Kitchen, on the Good Food Channel in May. Many alumnae write to say that both Judy and Maria’s success is so amazing and so exciting – the Class of 1993 is surely cheering for you both!

1993 Suzy Spressert 10 Hatch Street, Apt. 1 South Boston, MA 02127 kentplace1993@yahoo.com Many thanks to all who have submitted notes for this issue! It really is wonderful to hear from everyone, so thank you for continuing to fill my inbox! As many of you already know, we had two very exciting “celebrity moments” in our class this spring. Maria Dizzia was nominated for a Tony Award for best featured actress in a play for In the Next Room, Sarah Ruhl’s dramedy about sexual attitudes toward women in the Victorian Age. Maria rocked the red carpet and came in second in the best dressed category. Way to make an outstanding impression, Maria! You won first place in all categories in our minds!
Speaking of Kris Juncker, while busy providing commentary and PR for Judy, Kris and her husband moved to Nottingham, England, and now live less than 500 meters away from the city’s famed castle. Sounds charming! Stephanie Burlington Daniels writes that she is also “currently starring in the role of my lifetime!” Stephanie
