like 30 years had passed. Greg and Rob are exactly the same. Chris is staying in touch with GEORGE KANDO but getting together has proved difficult. • ROB BOLLER lives in Tenecula, CA (SoCal) with his wife and two young sons. He is president and general manager at Wilson Creek Winery as well as senior fellow at Eneref Institute. Rob and Caroline are both avid runners and also enjoy skiing. Some other recent activities he has enjoyed with his family include: sampling home brew root beer with the boys, enjoying local beer brew, hot air balloon rides, gourmet and reasonably priced food at his winery, visit to USS Midway Museum, and trips to the beach. • TIM HERBERT AND SALLY ’84 have been blessed with living in beautiful Plainfield. They run their farm and the KUA Equestrian Program. All three kids are now graduated from KUA. ADDIE ’09 is in Burlington working and pursuing her music passion. CHARLOTTE ‘11 is at St. Lawrence University and will be spending the summer in DC for an internship in entomology at the Smithsonian. JIMMY ‘14 will be a freshman at Bard College. • ROB MARGETTS: “I still keep in contact with WHITNEY, SHOKI and IAN and see them from time to time. Whitney and I both lived in Atlanta, GA, for about 10 years until I moved to Waco, TX, this past year. Whitney attended my son’s graduation from college last month in North Carolina. I am an international franchising and operations specialist and am still working on becoming a mad scientist. I also have a few websites and tons of blog sites: www.batkar.artistwebsites.com (I try to do some art crud/try is the word).” http://rmargetts. blogspot.com. • JON JOHNSTON lives in Fulton, NY, with his wife and three children. He and his brother are owners of Johnston’s LP Gas Service, a propane gas business. • SUE KNAPP: “Last year, I started my second stint on the KUA Alumni Council, so I’m able to catch up on KUA news and events regularly. The campus looks great, and the community is thriving. I’ve lived in the Upper Valley since early in 2001 when I started working at Dartmouth. I live in Wilder, VT, and I have an eight-year-old son. We spend our time bouncing between swim lessons and karate classes. I work at the Tuck School of Business handling communications for their Center for Global Business and Government.” • ELIZABETH GORIN ALLEN: “My husband and I live above Malibu in the Santa Monica Mountains close to nature and the ocean and enjoy daily hikes. We work in Hollywood and have a company that specializes in design and visual effects, www. cinergycreative.com. We just completed construction on a new home and hope to 94

reinvent ourselves as winemakers starting a vineyard on our property.” • EMILY MOORE DEVEY: “I work at Salisbury School, an all-boys boarding school in Connecticut where I am the associate director of College Advising. My husband is the head of school across town at the Indian Mountain School, a PK-9 school. My daughters also attend IMS, although the eldest just graduated last Friday. We spend a lot of time in Jamestown, RI, over the summers to enjoy some time outside the school bubble.” • ELISE STIGUM: “I am relocating to the New Hampshire Upper Valley along with four dogs, two cats and a horse. I have secured a nursing position at the Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center.” • NICK SONDER: “I have been living in Truckee, CA, for the past 18 years. It’s a small ski town just 13 miles north of Lake Tahoe. My family and I love it here. My wife, Chelle, and I have two teenagers that keep us very busy. I own a very small architectural practice specializing in high end custom home design around the lake, ski areas and golf communities in the area. I do think of KUA often as it was such a great experience. One of these days I hope to make it to a reunion and see all my old friends.” • KIRK MOORE: “I am living in the Salt Lake Valley, loving the skiing, mountain biking, road biking. Best in the world. We have two kids: Sydney, 11, and Michael, 6. Trying to keep up with all their activities in the summer, all while also trying to stay busy at work. As we all do at times in our lives, we go through some struggles and ours right now is my Dad coping with some significant medical issues, Mom trying to come to grips with it, looking for a bigger home to meet all our needs, adjusting to the different social situation, and so on. Also, has anyone heard from HELEN (ROSEMARY) TULLOH ’82? We were in Navy Flight training together and it would be great to reconnect. Last I heard she was in Maine. I might be heading that way to ‘learn’ something new from a Plastic Surgeon in the Portsmouth, NH, area.” • NED TROUP: “I’m doing great living back in my hometown of Berlin, CT. Recently remarried and loving my “Brady Bunch” family- which consists of four kids (ages 19, 15, 9 and 6) and two dogs. After this seemingly never-ending long winter, I’m enjoying the long awaited warm weather playing golf with my wife and kids and spending time at our family cottage in Westerly, RI, and swimming with our dogs. I’ve been trying to get together with HUGH CUSHING but busy schedules have proven it difficult. • CHRIS TRIPP: “I live in West Roxbury, MA, with my wife Kelley and three children. Aidan is 11, Evan is 9 and Lia is 7 and by far the toughest one in the house. The boys play lacrosse and
baseball. Lia has been performing Irish Step for three years now and is also involved with gymnastics. Yes, we are busy people but love it all. Looking forward to fun weekends over the summer; the boys begin their Junior Bruins hockey season on August 10; as much as I love the game, that is much too soon. I see PETE FRIEDMAN occasionally as he lives nearby. I also speak with and see TIM BROWN and TOM GRADY on occasion; they are in the area as well.” • PERRY ROTH lives near Lincoln Center, opposite the ABC building where they film The View. He is a true New Yorker without a car for over 15 years. This independence allows for the wonderful spontaneity of meeting friends and social acquaintances on the street. At 40, Perry made a career change from stock analyst to real estate broker. After nearly 10 months he received his first commission check, and is now one of the top brokers in Manhattan. He is working for Halstead Property, a leading residential real estate firm, and leading a team of five brokers. One thing that Perry has not mastered is the art of living with someone or something. He is single and without a pet or a plant in his spacious, by Manhattan standards, one-bedroom apartment with terrace. He has signed up for Netflix, so maybe there is a light at the end of the tunnel. As the saying goes, you’ve got to walk before you run! • PETER FRIEDMAN: “We live about a mile apart from Chris and get the families together when we can. I, Tim Brown, Tom Grady, and TRIPPA all went to UConn after KUA. We all get together over the summer when JEFF NELSON comes to visit. Everyone looks great, and is doing well. I live in Brookline with my wife Pam, and three kids, Jack (13), Anna (10), Julia (6). All are active with busy schedules so we divide and conquer. Hockey is still a big part of our lives as I coach and still play to stay in shape. • STEVE COOPER reports, “I live and work on Cape Cod. I work for an underground utility construction company that specializes in horizontal directional drilling. It is very challenging and rewarding. I have a 14-year-old son who is the best. It’s interesting how he keeps everything in perspective for me, as I see him grow up. I haven’t been to KUA in a long time, or even an alumni outing. I did play in a golf outing about 10 years ago and it was great to catch up with a bunch of people.” • LAUREN MUNRO DOLE— “My husband, Trux, and I have lived in Oregon for 17 years. We have enjoyed exploring the Northwest through camping, hiking, downhill and cross-country skiing, fishing, mountain biking and sea kayaking. We are parents to an amazing little boy, Gage, who would be 13 years old this year. Gage spent 6
