THE KINKAID SCHOOL

Dear Kinkaid Community,

I

want to thank our entire community for the warm welcome you have given my family and me. Through daily interactions, I have seen the strength and compassion of the Falcon Family, and I feel fortunate and honored to have the responsibility to lead our great school. We have been challenged this year, and no doubt this academic year looks unlike any other in our history. It is important, however, to recognize the good that has come out of the many sacrifices made as a result of COVID-19, and the strides we have made to ensure all our students feel welcome, safe, and accepted in all aspects of campus life. We know we have asked a lot of our students and families this year. From masking up and physical distancing to hybrid learning, to cancelled or reimagined events, to quarantines, our students have accepted these disappointments and difficulties with a strong spirit of togetherness and consideration for the needs of their fellow students and the community as a whole. Through these ever-changing realities and constant demands that have at times pushed us to our limits, we have witnessed a resolve and resiliency in our community that will endure long past this pandemic. I am so extremely proud of our students for the courage they have shown in setting a high bar for themselves, and frankly for us – the adults who support them. I also extend my admiration and gratitude to our faculty and staff who have adapted, recreated, and reimagined how school looks. I am heartened as I walk our campus grounds that I hear laughter from the Lower School to the Upper School, I see creative and collaborative work undertaken by young, developing minds, and I witness learning at its full capacity in academics, arts, and athletics. Thank you for your support and partnership - always - but especially during this remarkable time that is 2020. Through it all, we are meeting our important mission to promote educational excellence and balanced growth in a challenging, safe, and inclusive learning environment. When we reflect on this time in years to come, I believe that the missed or alternative events and the masked smiles will fade a bit in our memories. It is my hope what we will remember is how individually and collectively we grew in character during this period of uncertainty, how we adapted to new and changing circumstances, and how we came together as one united community during extraordinary times. Our students, our families, our faculty, and our staff are Our Kinkaid, and I consider it a privilege to be a part of this community and to be on this educational journey with you all.

Sincerely,

Jonathan Eades Head of School

THE KINKAID SCHOOL

Anything but Ordinary Head of School recounts his first 100 days Contributed by: Dr. Kimetris Baltrip, Upper School Journalism and Yearbook Teacher

t’s in the stillness that Mr. Jonathan Eades relishes a palpable sense of isolation. Daily, he awakens in a quiet home, which lends an opportune window for him to enjoy a couple of satisfying rituals: drinking his morning coffee and corralling his three dogs. “Routines are important to me, particularly the way I start my day,” Mr. Eades said. “I am consistently the first one up in my house. I’ve got three kids and my wife Elizabeth. We also have three dogs and those dogs are a big part of my morning routine.” With his dogs at his feet, he uses the solitude to read a book or collect his thoughts while his family continues to sleep. And when time permits, he walks his pack before his schedule begins to unpack in every step that he takes from his home address to 201 Kinkaid School Drive. He lives close enough to walk to work. “I honestly don’t drive a car much Monday through Friday,” he said. “On that short walk opportunity, again, I kind of collect my thoughts, get my day in my head, how I want to attack the day, so that’s also a special time.” Around 6:30 a.m., Mr. Eades reaches a campus that is placid. In fact, the dawn of his tenure was met by an aura of stillness so familiar that it has become emblematic of his first 100 days at Kinkaid. “It was a surreal first day,” he said. “That first day, the students weren’t here and walking the hallways at 7:30 in the morning. I did. I walked the entire campus for my first day, and I didn’t interact with one student.” Since then, the School has transitioned from virtual to hybrid to in-person learning, and Mr. Eades has capitalized on his chances to interact face to face with the school community. He draws fulfillment from relationship building, a hallmark of his leadership style, and greeting carpools of students, parents, faculty and staff as they arrive on campus energizes his day.

WINTER 2020-2021

Q. What gets you motivated to start your day? “Truthfully, what motivates me is every aspect of working in the School. I enjoy working with all groups that are a part of the School: the faculty, the staff, obviously the parents, but it’s the students… So what motivates me is making a difference for the students here as well as supporting the faculty and staff and all that we’re doing here at Kinkaid.”

Q. How have you managed to navigate the crossroads of information you’ve needed to digest and disseminate? “It has been like drinking out of a fire hose. There’s been a lot of information, a lot to learn. Just simple things like terminology, even the names of our classrooms, our buildings, our hallways, our fields, our courts, etcetera. There’s a learning curve there, our policies, our procedures. And so, I did as much of that as I could before I even moved to Houston...I am a voracious reader. I love to read. The history major in me, in addition to being able to read pretty quickly, I’m able to hear things and – I wouldn’t say I have a photographic memory, but I’m definitely able to process pretty quickly – key details and retain them, which has definitely helped me. But the other way that I’ve been able to do that is asking for a little grace because there is so much information that I’m digesting as I’ve met with all the different groups here at the School and learned how we do things here at Kinkaid.”

Q. What did you hope to accomplish in your first 100 days? “To relationship build, to become known in the community… The aspect that I pride myself on most in my leadership style is community building, being a connector. So, when you talk about keeping the community together, that’s something that’s vitally important to me. I’m not perfect in that regard. But that is something that really is important to me, and so the best thing that I can do as I begin my time as the Head of School here at Kinkaid is to get to be known in the community, and that has been an admitted challenge during a pandemic. It started because we as a school started in full distanced, remote learning, and so I had to do that almost exclusively over Zoom. For example, my first all-staff meeting, with all employees of the School, was over Zoom. I have no comparison in my career to something like that, where I’m meeting with hundreds of employees, but they’re all in the little ‘Brady Bunch’ squares on the screen. That’s a very difficult thing. But what I had wanted to do, I feel like I’ve been able to do, but I certainly will also candidly acknowledge that I’m not necessarily as far along as I like because of the pandemic, because of the inability, at first, to have the community here on campus.”

communicator, not make people read your mind and wonder what you’re thinking but to be consistent and regular in your communication but also to be approachable…Being a regular communicator and listening to the needs, surrounding myself with a great team has also been really paramount, I think, to that ability to keep the community together. Because, again, I’m new. I’m one person joining a community of almost 1,500 students, but the admin team has been wonderful in making sure that I am aware of different strengths, challenges, concerns in different areas of the School, so that I am aware and so that I can then support those areas and improve as needed.”

Q. How have you seen students be adaptable? “I would pair the question about how I’ve observed the students; I would pair it tightly with the faculty and staff. That flexibility. Fluid is such an overused word, but it’s actually a good one because both the students and the faculty have had to completely adjust the teaching and learning model, and it is understandably a heck of a burden. And the flexibility, the creativity, the hours that the faculty and staff have put in preparing for multiple modes of learning. I’ve said it, and it’s authentic, it’s not hokie when I say they’re my heroes. That’s been exceptional. The same can be said about the students, their resilience in being able to also change the modes of learning. It’s been hard. Social and emotional learning in a remote environment is a difficult one, but their willingness to adapt to this circumstance has been impressive to me.”

Q. What do you hope to achieve in your next 100 days? “A hundred days goes quickly. It’s something that I have learned…I definitely want to continue to relationship build. It’s only recently that I’ve been able to really in person start to connect with the parents. And we’ve obviously had the students here and we’ve had a closed campus and so that has been wonderful, so I see that as something that I will continue to have this opportunity. I think that it is really important as I relationship build with the community that I get to be known by our parents and continue to do that with our students. I would also tell you keeping Kinkaid open in a pandemic. If you were to take my day and make a pie chart and divide it up percentage-wise where I spend the bulk of my time here at the beginning of my tenure at Kinkaid, it is related to and mitigating the risk of COVID-19 and keeping Kinkaid open. That is definitely demanding from a time standpoint and an emotional energy standpoint because, ultimately, I got into education because I love working with students, and while meeting and exceeding the mission of Kinkaid is my ultimate charge, keeping our community safe is No. 1. That is paramount over any other goals that can be set, any other thing that can be measured.”

Q. What’s been your strategy for keeping the Kinkaid community united during this very challenging time? “I think the best way to keep a community united during such an exceptionally stressful time is transparent communication. I think that’s the best thing that you can be: Be authentic, a regular

We love leftovers! During the Holidays, which is a special time for sharing gratitude, here are some things to think about. Once you have provided for your children and grandchildren through your estate, consider leaving Kinkaid whatever might be left over! It is as simple as adding language in your will to give the residual of your estate, instead of a specific amount, to Kinkaid. It would be a meaningful addition to your legacy of kindness and generosity. So this Holiday season while you enjoy time with your family and friends, please pass the leftovers! Wishing you every happiness this season!

A residual bequest comes to The Kinkaid School after your estate expenses and specific bequests are paid.

Suggested Language: “I, [name], of [city, state, ZIP], give, devise and bequeath to The Kinkaid School (EIN 76-0295523) of Houston, TX the rest, residue, and remainder of my estate, both real and personal, to be used for its unrestricted use and purpose.” For more information on types of gifts that can be made through a bequest, visit kinkaid.planmylegacy.org or contact Lisa Wood at 713243-5023 or lisa.wood@kinkaid.org.

To Excel in All Aspects of Student Life Susie Adams Smith ’69 and her husband, Tommy, have been faithful supporters of The Kinkaid School. Susie remembers fondly John Cooper who was headmaster while she was a student. “He set the template for growth and quality education at Kinkaid”, she says. Because of his example, “Tommy and I believe in the mission of the School, and we support Kinkaid because we want the School to excel in all aspects of student life.” The Smiths feel that the quality of the education and the facilities is what makes Kinkaid special. So it is not surprising that they have generously supported every major capital campaign in recent years. “It is exciting to see the expansion of all the facilities, and we are pleased to contribute to enhance the student experience.”

However, the greatest impact Kinkaid has had on Susie’s life has been the lasting friendships she made as a student and parent. Susie came to Kinkaid in the second grade along with her two siblings. She was a cheerleader, active in Student Council, and also played basketball, volleyball and softball. While the Smiths’ children, Nancy ’03 and Stuart (fs), attended Kinkaid, Susie and Tommy were active volunteer parents. Susie also served as President of the Alumni Association Board and Tommy was a member of the Kinkaid Endowment Board of Directors for many years. It was Kinkaid’s sense of community that provided the opportunity to form those cherished friendships.

Susie enjoys art and spending time traveling with her family. She and Tommy are new grandparents to Arden, daughter of Christina and Stuart Smith, and look forward to traveling often to North Carolina to see her.

Houston, TX 713-569-2194 allan.port@att.net Sassy English Stanton

Houston, TX sassy@stanton-pinckard.com Our class had planned a gala reunion in April for the 60th anniversary of our graduation. Included was a dinner gathering in Houston at the home of Sassy English Stanton. Guess what happened to that. Now we find ourselves at the head of the class notes section. It is a feature of our stage in life that much of the news is about family, primarily the following generations, rather than about our own activities. Marilyn Lee Pierce reports that granddaughter Macy Urrutia will graduate with a PhD in Physical Sciences in December. Her fiancé Alec Basterrechea, med student, performed his first surgery recently, and they will be married at year-end. Covid-19 has slowed things for them, but not shut them down. Stuart Davis Blackshear writes that she and Gus have three new great-grandchildren. Son John Meador and his wife Cheryl have four daughters, three of which had babies this summer, boys in June and August, and a girl in September. They have five in total, as their daughter’s son and wife have two boys ages 2 and 4. Conversely, here’s news about a beginning. Following a fifty-year courtship, Bob Cronin and Anne Woodhouse were married on May 31 at the Stone River outdoor art installation on the Stanford University Campus. Anne and Bob met in 1970 when they were grad students at Stanford. It was a wedding in the age of Coronavirus. Participants and guests wore face coverings and observed social distancing. A reception will wait until things are a little more normal. In a follow-up more age-appropriate, Bob reported later “I had successful cataract surgery. It’s very nice to have 20/20 vision without glasses.” Reporting another youthful pursuit, Harvey Kincaid says that he completed a two plus year assignment in LA on a project to build a new anatomical

pathology-histology lab for his company. He and Nancy are now back home in Indiana, and Harvey is learning a new job in the field of early drug development, which is a hot topic these days given the focus on getting vaccines approved. They are glad to be back in their own home. Skip Hamilton is hibernating in New Braunfels, playing the video game Zelda (another youthful pursuit) to pass the time until a vaccine is available. Skip had an angioplasty to open an artery but feels “good and peaceful.” John Parks came back to Texas after a long hiatus and a career in medicine. He returned with his wife Catherine Anne “Cat”, who is vice-chair of the Republican Party of Texas, and his son Pierce Parks (10). John now lives in Hico, TX raising, training and helping people enjoy their horses. It’s another beginning. And Virginia Howe Kincaid reports the following: “Now that I’m not able to be on stage during this pandemic which has closed down every theater in the nation, I have used the time to continue polishing my one-woman play Behind Every Bush and to write a new play titled Crossing the Barre which features six famous dead women living together and carrying on the struggle for women’s rights during a pandemic. Who knows whether either one will get anywhere, but it’s kept me productive during this isolation. As my children would say, ‘it’s kept me off the streets’.” As for your scribe Allan Port, the days slip by with reading the newspapers much of the morning, having a long walk or bike ride in our lovely Memorial neighborhood, hitting the weight room at The Houstonian or The Forest Club, sorting the daily barrage of e-mails, watching the always-disturbing evening news reports and settling in with a book or the Kindle. We have not done a thing since this disease became alarming, but I hope to be in Aspen in January.

WINTER 2020-2021

Greetings to the Class of 1962! The following are a few replies to my request for good news from the past unusual year: John Butcher reports that thanks to the opportunity to practice golf, he has reduced his handicap to nine! (For those of you that are not golfers, that is really good.) John finally got to spend some time with his grandson Nathan towards the end of the summer. Earl Hankamer (fs) and his wife Bettie used the time to build a “raised garden”. It seems like a worthy project, even though he laments that the cucumbers took over everything! Susan Cooper Gaudet has been busy ridding her study of two decades of paperwork and books, and she plans to take on the basement next! Her husband Bob has started a newsletter entitled “Bob Held Hostage in the Basement”. (His office is in their basement, but we all know the feeling.) They haven’t seen much of their girls, other than FaceTime, but all are doing well. Susan said that they did see Sandra Moffett Provost and her husband Bob recently in Massachusetts, where Susan lives and the Provosts have a part-time home. Van Russell and his wife Catherine still live outside of Austin in Bee Cave. He has retired from Golf Operations at Barton Creek Country Club due to health issues. He had a “Hole in One” (golf lingo again) late in 2019, but didn’t get to spread the news to us until now! Catherine, a chef (who HEB tapped to help start “Cooking Connection” years ago) has had a lot of time to prepare excellent meals. Lucky Van! They have a Shih Tzu Pearl that is now 14 years old that they enjoy spending time with. I understand that many of us have pets that certainly have helped fill the time that we would otherwise have spent away from them. Claudia Turner Aycock, Vicky Schnorbus, and George Schudy all replied that they have nothing new to report—we will assume that “no news is good news”. I appreciate your replies. With apologies to our Kinkaid Latin teachers, I will close with Gibson Carothers’ astute summary of 2020 “Veni, Vidi, Vino” Translation: “I came, I saw, I had some wine”. Best wishes to all in the New Year.

far. Lots of masking and hand wipes have been in order. I’m sorry not to have written personally but I had a problem navigating the Kinkaid website, which gets revamped fairly regularly! Sweet Carly Gray Lukefahr ’12, the new Alumni Activities Manager, rescued me. Thus you have her email instead of mine. Dave Shaver wrote about his two awesome grandkids David and Sam and the expected arrival of two more! Wow! Wonderful! Congrats and love to Dave! Ronnie Hankamer (fs) wrote that he and his wife Kathy spent the summer in Beaver Creek, CO again. Their granddaughter Lauren Hankamer ’20 went on to TCU where she pledged Tri Delt. Grandson Garrett ’23 is a 10th grader and granddaughter Kate ’27 is a 6th grader at Kinkaid! Keeping up the Kinkaid tradition! Good to hear from Ronnie! Our classmate Art Beane wrote very touchingly about his Kinkaid journey and how it had positively impacted his life. Bob Morse wrote that he and his wife continue to be retired but with various projects. Since late May, they have mostly been at their summer place on the Western shore of Seneca Lake in the Finger Lakes of NY state - smack dab in the middle of the wine country. Although there are a number of tourists who come through for the wines, the county they are in is very rural, family farms, many owned by the Mennonite community. In mid-October, they shut up shop there and went back home to DC. Their three children are all in the Boston area and mostly working from home but have made a few forays out for brief, careful visits. Well, I guess that’s it for now. I sincerely hope that all of you and yours are well and happy. By the way, we now have the option of a Zoom mini reunion if anybody is interested. Think about it and let me know if this sounds good for our class. Please stay safe and let me hear from you. Love and best wishes to all!

1964 Claire Andreae Murray

Silver Spring, MD 301-946-2184 claire.murray@verizon.net What a year to remember or allow to slide into oblivion. Hopefully by the time of the Alumni News being published we have secured a trusted vaccine. In the interim, we can but grieve the loss of so many lives and support the families as they heal. Also, we can but hope we have begun to heal our divisions and are in the process of becoming a more enlightened and compassionate people to all on our sweet planet. I cannot believe all our classmates have put their lives totally on hold a la Corona and have found ways to enjoy their life, family and community even if zooming happy hour and holidays with loved ones. Who knew how creative neighborhoods have gotten in keeping traditions afloat. Ours did a Labor Day Passeggiata (Italian walk about greeting neighbors) where neighbors stroll the perimeters with delectable libations in hand, sporting masks and social distancing, but alas nary a tipple to be shared. Not quite the raucous Labor Day picnic of years gone by but not bad either… Ted Greacen does a valiant job of maintaining normalcy as he shares, “I work 15-20 hours a week taking care of disabled people who live together in a house. We do lots of fun things, like visiting nature centers and arboretums. Get outdoors and get some exercise and enjoy the company of housemates. At the condominium, I am chair of a committee assisting the HOA Board with a large project that involves stucco, brick, windows, and water intrusion. My girlfriend is a little Baptist girl from Sioux Falls. We just returned from a two-week car trip to Montana and Wyoming sightseeing, visiting her relatives and staying out of the way of bison in Yellowstone Park. Looking forward to autumn, cold, snow and watching our 0-2 Minnesota Vikings on TV.”

Rocky McAshan reports he and his family “have been at home since mid-March. Only excursions are to McDonald’s and other drivethroughs, doctors appointments (some virtual), grocery store 1/2 hour before closing. We do have Zoom type meetings with daughter and family in Orlando. We play the Harry Potter board game with one camera on the board at her house and a matching board at our table. Another camera watches the Florida players and baby Hallie on Hangouts or Skype video. Son David and family come to swim and have dinner on weekends. He works from home and the girls have been in school virtually since mid-August. We are getting along with only a few tension/frustration conflicts. I just started with a get out the vote campaign sponsored by Beto O’Rourke. I use Spoke to send texts to selected addresses and reply with mostly canned responses.” Like Rocky, Tog George says he has been “hunkered down for the Covid-19 quarantine and like everyone, this mask wearing is getting a little old, and I would like to be able to hug my grandchildren again; however, every time we’re around them, they act like we have the plague, so hopefully I’ll get to see them again before they graduate from high school. We have a new granddaughter (number eight). She is actually two years old now and the daughter of Emily George Seiders ’96, who is currently climbing mountains in New Mexico and Utah. One granddaughter is at Alabama, one granddaughter is at TCU, three grandchildren are at Kinkaid and one grandson is being homeschooled which has been great. I’m glad we bought some recreational properties so our children will have someplace to go during the quarantine. Otherwise all is fine. Everyone is healthy for which we are thankful.” Bonnie Brigance Leadbetter is still able to have some contact at least with the young ones: “Our three grandkids in Vestal, NY are now old enough to hop in the car and come visit us on their own for a few days, which they did twice this summer. We took the opportunity to show Delaney around a couple of local colleges – hard for

high school seniors these days with Covid-19 restrictions on travel and campus visits. Last weekend, we took the little ones out to Bucks County to make scarecrows and get waffles and ice cream which was lots of fun. Otherwise, just playing golf and working. Healthy but as you can see, we have gone stir crazy enough to give a birthday party to our dogs who turned 12 and 1 in September.” Missy Wood sends her well wishes: “Hope all my classmates are safe and dry from the flooding. Think of y’all all the time.” Like Missy, I am sure we are all sending each other hopes to fully reemerge from these turbulent times and be able to gather in person once again with family, friends and classmates. A little pandemic, flood, fire, drought or pestilence cannot hold a good Geri down. Be well and stay safe!!!

Austin, TX tazmazan@gmail.com Jay Jorns reports “Sujay” is taking a sabbatical due to Covid-19. However, Jay and Susan Lorino LaCoste did have a chance to enjoy a rare dinner engagement. Rick Sline reports he and his wife Annette are enjoying their extended staycation honeymoon. The two were married August last year and had a trip to the Northeast planned for late March this year. They both have been retired since before they were married, so ‘work’ now is household chores and some carpooling with Annette’s granddaughter. Like many of us, they have been staying at home with a few exceptions and are spending a lot more money on Amazon. Rick’s pandemic report really hit home and pretty much describes what a lot of us are experiencing as a ‘new normal.’ Rick writes, “It’s a rare day that we’re not expecting a delivery; a lot

of household repairs, some new neat tools for me and a bunch of cooking items. Our favorite new cooking item is an Instant Pot - use it at least once a week. Our regular ‘supper club’ used to meet in person monthly at different restaurants...now we’re getting together from home via Zoom. We’re watching a bunch of TV. I got hooked on several of Annette’s favorites on the Hallmark Channels and Midsomer Murders on Tubi. My pick is the newish Ron Howard series Mars on Amazon Prime Video. I don’t want to spoil any suspense for those who might watch, but it’s awesome in its message. Now I’m recommending it to most everyone.” Rick Horsey writes from their house in Glorieta, NM, a small town 20 miles southeast of Santa Fe. He says, “It’s early October. The sun is out and the wind is blowing some and it is a perfect 65 degrees at 10:17 am. Life is good! Maybe that is what I really want to say today. No matter the pandemic, no matter the election cycle, life is good. Things tend to be never as bad as we fear nor as good as we hope. We have six grandkids, ranging from 2 to 16 years old. Four boys and two girls and they are all healthy and doing well in school and in life. Our three children are all married and happy it appears and everyone has a good career they are pursuing. My wife Marleen and I are happy and financially secure and life is good. I began to close my engineering consulting company 18 months ago and started to turn down projects for the first time in my life. That was hard to do. As I began to close that chapter of my life, I returned to a desire to become more spiritually active. I entered the Ministerial program of the Unity Church that we belong to and that I have pursued off and on for the last 33 years. I am now far into the study side of the program and have given two sermons at our Unity Church in Dallas and loved every minute of it. When I have been on stage speaking, it has felt like I have been doing it all of my life. I am

past the time of my life when I want to run a church anywhere, so this passion is really just for me I think, and hopefully it will lead me to be able to give back to the community that I live in at a different level in the future. I think that I will be a licensed and ordained Unity Minister within another 12 months. So, we are never too old to take on a new challenge, are we? Find your passion and go for it, why not? Here is to a great new year of 2021.” Anne Garwood Conner (fs) writes, “Tom and I are very happily enjoying our home in Santa Fe where the stats on Covid-19 are much lower than Texas. Our children are doing well in Houston, both working from home. We plan to be home in Houston for Christmas with our children and their families.” Tommy Lee, Jr. is doing well. I had a nice chat with Tommy but he did have some sad news to share. Clare Judd (fs) died in Austin. A classmate during middle school years, Clare went to St. Mary’s Hall with Norie Kerr Baldwin (fs) and Carolyn Cain (fs) where she graduated. Unfortunately, we have no further details. Anne Cronin has news to share. When I talked with her, she was in the midst of getting her house ready to sell and packing up. She’s moving to Austin to be closer to her sons, who both live in the area. Anne has already bought a house and might be moved in by the time this news reaches our class. It will be great to have another classmate in the Austin/ Central Texas area. Speaking of moves…I’m all moved into my new house. And when I say new, it’s builder new. I’m still working out the kinks with the builder and trying to get some decorating done during a pandemic. It’s a bit of a challenge, but going well. I have been working on various community endeavors and hope to complete a few pet projects around the house. I’m definitely looking forward to the holidays and a NEW year. Hope everyone stays safe and well.

are allowed to sing on Sundays, distanced and masked until the moment we sing. Kinkaid has begun in-person classes while continuing distance learning for some, and the Falcons football team is playing again! I pray that each of you and your families are healthy and safe. I heard from a few of our classmates who, despite the worry and inconvenience of the pandemic shutdown, have managed to carve out some meaningful fun. David Boldrick writes that he went to Alaska to visit his family. With only 65 people on the plane, he got an entire row to himself! He has done some census taking, volunteers with Meals on Wheels and SMAA Farmer’s Market and is still working on his sailboat (a three-year project). Finally, he gives a shout-out to Stan Erck whose company is working on a Covid-19 vaccine. “That Mr. Perkins science stuck with him!” From Gibbs Bauer (fs): “Greetings Kinkadians! All is well with me personally. Living and practicing law in Alpine, TX and loving it. Staying in shape with high protein diet, lots of bike riding and hundreds of weekly push-ups and pull ups. In about 196263, my Dad gave his four children the ‘Royal Canadian Air Force Exercise Plans for Physical Fitness’, told us to read it and do what it said, and I’m still working on that! Otherwise, thinking a lot about Kinkaid, St. Martin’s, Camp Longhorn, the day John Kennedy was shot during Mr. Boles’ Mid-term Geometry exam and wondering what the world would be like now if we could have skipped that day altogether. Have a lot of ideas about how we can make the world a better place and working on those as well. Finally, it’s hard to imagine things around the world getting much worse, but just in case, I highly recommend Dan Crenshaw’s book FORTITUDE: American Resilience in the Era of Outrage. None of us really know when we might be required to go beyond our comfort zone, and it’s a good thing to be prepared for any eventuality. Hope everyone is well, staying motivated, and looking forward to the next phase of our lives with maximum enthusiasm. GO

FALCONS!” Jim Tang shared the happy news that, after practicing plastic surgery for the past 37 years at Cy Fair Plastic Surgery Center, he retired as of May 31, 2020. Since then, he joined the Royal Oaks Country Club and has been playing more golf, going on hikes with his wife Elizabeth and enjoying being with their 17-month-old granddaughter. It’s always good to hear from John Diffey. “When our daughter and her fiancée were planning their July wedding in the Colorado mountains, it never crossed our minds that they would be married in his parents’ back yard and that we would give her away via Zoom. Even so, we are thrilled that they went ahead with their marriage on schedule, and did so without putting themselves or others at risk. And not to worry—there will be one great party in the Rockies when it’s safe. We hope that you, our fellow Falcons, are staying safe and well also.” Thank you, Bubba Koenig, for this update. “Linda and I are fine but so regret having to cancel two trips we were going to take this year – one to The Holy Land and a cruise along the east coast of the Adriatic Sea. We consider ourselves so lucky compared to so many who have been far more seriously impacted than we have. Since the onset of the pandemic, we have played it “close to the vest” and are only now beginning to venture out a bit and get together with friends. We plan a short trip in November to a ranch in northern New Mexico for some horseback riding and snow mobile riding. We have had a few friends test positive for Covid-19 but all have recovered with no long-term negative effects. Sadly, we have lost some friends to other causes and have been unable to celebrate their lives with their family members due to the restrictions in place against large gatherings. We pray daily for those who have been impacted by the virus and for those first responders who are on the front lines of containing it and abating its effects. Prayers also for those involved in trying to develop a vaccine and that they might find a solution soon. Hope we can get together in 2021. My best wishes to all our classmates.” Tua Smith Burke has lots of news. “Ernie and I are great-grandparents to a little boy! Also, one of my grandsons Preston Bied, started his first year at A&M in the Engineering Department. My other grandchildren are all in high school, except one in elementary. My mother turned 96 in June and is doing very great!”

Margaret Frederking Barton wrote that she and her husband Richard read, agonize over current events, enjoy Zoom calls with family and friends, delight in watching birds at the backyard feeder, take long walks, participate in somewhat fewer volunteer activities and dream of the time when travel will again be easy. While they can’t visit, they share books with their older grandchildren and bedtime stories with their 2 1/2-year-old grandson who recently moved to Paris. Margaret is working on the plot of her second children’s story. She also struggles with piano lessons. She remembers with admiration how well our friend Pat accompanied the chorus when we were all in high school! As I imagine all of you know, our classmate Stan Erck has been in the news lately! Stan is the President and CEO of Novavax which is developing a vaccine for the coronavirus. They are in the final stages of testing their vaccine. Novavax is supported by Operation Warp Speed, the federal effort to speed a coronavirus vaccine to market. The New England Journal of Medicine reports that volunteers in the Stage 3 trial produced high levels of antibodies against the virus. We are all so proud of your work, Stan, and are filled with gratitude for the Herculean effort of Novavax. I, Pat, stay in regular touch with Becky Witmer Lorino, Karen Liedtke, Meredith Austin and Diane Martin Tomlinson, Margaret Frederking Barton, John Diffey, Rod Crowl, Jim Tang and Liz Respess (Dick Respess’ widow). All of them are well as are their families. I started taking piano lessons again in January. I wish I could play the way I did when I was 18, but between trifocals and arthritis, my pace is much slower! But, it’s fun to play again, this time for my pleasure only. By the way – Margaret had no idea that I would mention my piano lessons here and I had no idea she would mention me in her memories! Thanks to Covid-19 with no gym or yoga studio open, I have walked hundreds of miles, doing my best to stay in shape. With some wonderful walking friends, if my mouth is moving, my feet are moving! Our 55th Kinkaid Reunion is scheduled for April 2021. Whether there will be a reunion weekend is still questionable, so stay tuned. I will keep everyone informed as soon as I know something. Blessings and love to each of you, Pat

Albuquerque, NM lauryert@yahoo.com Buddy Trotter married Jeanie Rosenberg on August 1st. It was a family-only wedding due to the pandemic. They met at the dog park, when their two dogs got to playing intensely together, despite the fact that there were 25 other dogs there for them to play with. Buddy and Jeanie first just talked, eventually meeting each other there at specific times. Finally, they started dating. Divinely arranged, Buddy thinks. To see their marriage, go to YouTube and search for “Trotter Rosenberg wedding”. Ann Abercrombie can finally report that her ranch has sold, and she will be moving back to Houston by mid-October. A new chapter equals something entirely new, living 33 floors above downtown Houston. Albeit, her views will not be green pastures with cows grazing but a view of Discovery Green, Toyota Center and The Texas Medical Center. She will relish the noises of the city after having lived in silence for 20+ years. When she sold real estate, she always wondered how people could live on a busy street. She now realizes that she is that person! She wrote she would take volunteers to help her unpack. Ann Lents proudly announced their second grandchild James Robert Ziccardi was born September 28 here in Houston. She and David are thrilled that both he and his mom Elizabeth Heaney Ziccardi ’03 are doing fine. Lizzie and her husband Andrew live a few blocks from them. They have been in a Covid-19 “pod” with them since March. David and Ann have taken over full time nanny duties for Patrick (2), so that Lizzie and Andrew could work full time. She writes it’s been an adventure to have the family together so much. Her family even lived in the same house for two months when the whole team decamped to their place in Telluride, where they were joined by their son and his significant other for almost a month. They are all heartily sick of Covid-19 and ready to get back to real life, but it’s been a blessing to have so much family time, to be able to help the kids and to be so close to little Patrick. Carter Hood Cunningham is busy taking care of her new granddaughter in Maryland, while her son and

daughter-in-law work from home. She is going back and forth between Princeton and Maryland every couple of weeks. She reports that she does not get out of the car coming or going. Laurye Rutten Tanner reports that she has been mostly homebound since the second week in February. It has been the hottest and driest year. She is lucky to back up to the Sandia Mountain and the hiking trails. Oh no, she is not hiking on those trails. She just sits in her chair and enjoys all the hikers and pets. She also watches the deer, coyotes, bobcats and twice saw a cougar but no bear sightings. Memories of the 1960s Carter Hood Cunningham and Laurye Rutten Tanner double dated a lot. Their boyfriends were best friends. For homecoming, they both gave Laurye and Carter a 3 mum Homecoming corsage to wear. Those corsages were so huge and so heavy that the top of our dresses were being torn. No way could they dance with those on. The after-game party was at River Oaks. Don’t forget to go to the awards assembly the very last day of school, because Laurye did not. She had never won an award. She decided to skip the senior award assembly. She got a call a few days later to be told she had won Mr. Holder’s Spirt Award. She still has it to this day. Steve McCary remembers many positive things happening in the 1960s. However, it also was a period of great societal turmoil and discord. The Vietnam War and the Civil Rights Movement had tremendous impact on our society. For Steve, the most positive and heroic figure of the 1960s was Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Many positive things have happened in modern times. However, this modern time period also is a period of great societal turmoil and discord. Politics and journalism have contributed to disunity and hostility in our society. For Steve, it is difficult to discern who is our most positive and heroic figure today. Until that positive and heroic figure emerges, he fears our society will remain in disarray.

1969 Bonnie German Chandler Harvard, MA bchandler1@charter.net After all the activity and excitement around our 50th Reunion, our class has been quieter lately. Except of course for one piece of news, but it is a doozy! Yes, Judy Neun (fs) and Don Pickels got married – briefly. I’ll let them tell you in their own words: “Guess by now you have heard the rumor,” Judy said. “Well it is true, I did get married on May 1 to Don Pickels! It was a ‘socially distant’ relationship. All done by phone, text and email. I got engaged and married without leaving my house! The judge even came to my house to perform the ceremony. I had it annulled two days later for reasons known only to myself and Don. This is my quarantine story. Can anybody top this? One thing I learned from this debacle was that I’m still too young to get married!” Judy has more recent news as well: “Now that travel restrictions have eased up in Florida, our Naples house is getting finished. All work had stopped for months.” Don’s statement on the subject is, “My marriage to Ms. Judy Neun did not work out and was annulled by mutual consent.” Don was more loquacious about his other news: “You may recall my rock band contains three lawyers of different politics. We have contacts from both political parties. Our music people put us in touch with local Republicans who heard one of our CDs and recommended us to the White House. We had written and recorded snappy campaign songs for both parties. We made a good impression, so if the Republicans win, we’re scheduled to play at the January 2021 Inauguration, either at the White House or some nearby hotel. We are honored they loved our Sixties songs so much, along with a couple of original tunes. We’ll be enthusiastically performing the songs we all loved in high school! I’d love to see some ’69ers in the audience. Any requests? We’ll open with ‘Gloria’ and go out on a message of unity with ‘Get Together’ by The Youngbloods, a.k.a. The Hippie National Anthem. And yes, expect from us the full Woodstock look. Come and make great new memories!” Jeff Cross writes, “I am hesitant to report on a recent trip to Glacier National Park in Montana for fear of being accused of spreading plague

across the country. The trip was in July and to my knowledge there have not been any reports of spikes in Whitefish, MT, so I believe all we took with us from Houston was our golf clubs and some warmer than usual temperatures for a couple of days while we were there. My wife Elise and I have enjoyed getting to know Judy Neun a little better as a result of our 50th reunion planning and her marriage to Don Pickels that lasted for one weekend. Since neither had been married before, those of us who have been lucky enough to be married for 44 years feel sorry for both that this didn’t work out. Just 3.5 years until our 55th reunion, assuming I am still on this side of eternity, I will be glad to host another event at the Briar Club. Hope we can meet together in person again by then!” Marcy West has been as busy as ever: “Transportation is an ‘essential’ industry, so selling truck tires has continued relatively unabated. The quarantine created an unexpected benefit – Kelley and Wesley and their families have been spending nearly every weekend at the farm, so we have had a lot of quality grandparent time with the three grandchildren. Everyone in the family has had Covid-19. Kelley and I are growing our beef herd – up to fifteen cows, with five heifers to add in ’21. Will have six steers for sale as grass-fed, all-natural beef. Added ducks and geese to the poultry population, so the orchard is not only being grazed and fertilized, but we hope also to eliminate the bug problem. There haven’t been many dog shows, but we did manage to show our young Kangal, who did very well. David’s health has been on the mend since the prostate cancer surgery three years ago – fingers remain crossed, with daily prayers. Of course I have not aged a day, except for the knee that threatens me with replacement, discs that bulge from time to time and a stubborn extra fifteen pounds that I desperately need to lose!” Lynne Barlow Bentsen writes, “Covid-19 put the brakes on the more adventurous side of my life. I had the virus in February and have been treated like a leper ever since. People recoil when I proudly announce I had it and I’m still alive. With no ranch or lake house to retreat to, I have been in H-town, continuing to work with start-up ventures. Zoom meetings and yelling at people across the room are now the norm. No more than four people at a conference table that seats twelve is common, and my associates scream at me because they say I mumble through my mask. I’ve been accused of doing it on purpose just to irritate everyone. Maybe I have. My grandkids, Sydney

(12), James (11) and Sam (3), are all back in school in Austin. Sam calls me on the way to school every day and FaceTimes me, usually when I’m reaching to turn the alarm clock off or just after I’ve washed my hair in the kitchen sink. He thinks it’s so funny to ask me what I’m doing to look like that. Yes, Sam, it’s Halloween every day at my house. My son turned fifty this month, so now I have a child who gets mail from AARP. I could go on forever, but I have to get back to binging reruns of Gunsmoke…” Sam Wright has been “super busy.” He came out of retirement to work in Washington, DC, at the United States Office of Personnel Management on June 30. He was soon promoted to be OPM’s Deputy Associate Director for Outreach, Diversity and Inclusion. He plans to retire again to Waco in January, regardless of the outcome of the election. “And I will likely be getting married early in the new year. I hope that the third time is the charm.” Murphy Lents is ensconced with his fiancé Stephanie Black in Salt Lake City. “If one is to lead a quarantine-ish existence, Salt Lake is a pretty good spot – lots of easily accessed outdoor activities and generally great weather, if you ignore the smoke from California. And, at least in my case, good company. I’ve been retired for a couple of years with no regrets.” Rick Frachtman says he hasn’t retired yet but plans to do it soon. Other than that, “I went to Kroger and CVS. Sorry, not much is going on in my personal life.” Marianne Tatum is living in New York City, waiting for television production to rev up again. “Hoping it’s sooner rather than later! Central Park has kept me sane through Covid-19. Supposed to begin work on a new series Dr. Death about the Dallas surgeon, next month. I will be playing his OR nurse. Lots of blood and gore for Halloween!” Sheila Holloway says her life in England has been quiet. “I’m lucky that my son Dan decided to come back to live at home at the beginning of February to save some money, so I’ve had company. He’s been able to carry on working (as a music producer and writer) from a studio in the loft. We’ve both kept well so far. Now the Covid-19 rates are rising again in our area, so it’s likely that soon we’ll be more confined to home again. It was fine in the spring but not such an attractive prospect with winter around the corner. I’m lucky that I live in a comfortable flat in a leafy suburb and have a regular pension, but life is tough for many in the UK, just like in the US. I spend far too much time following the news, both ours

and yours. On a cheerier note, very best wishes to you, Sam, for your forthcoming marriage. I made three bottles of sloe gin yesterday, so when they are ready to drink at Christmas I will toast the health of you all. Happy memories!” Martha Adger Madget has been in the residential real estate business for 44 years, primarily in Houston, but with four years in New York. She is married to James Madget and has two step children Austin and McKenna. “Austin lives in Houston and is a personal trainer. McKenna is married, and now we have an adorable grandson, Francis Appling. They live in Austin. James and I have two fabulous English cream golden retrievers that we adore. We also love to play golf, walk daily and read. We spend a great deal of time with my three brothers and their families who all live in Houston.” Mary Lou Peckham Cozean is retiring after 35 years in the property tax consulting business and looking forward to spending more time with her granddaughter Elizabeth (10). Kenny Meyer and his wife Debbie have been married 44 years and have two children (a boy and a girl) and four grandkids. “I have spent the past 40-plus years working in our family’s real estate business along with my brother Fred, my son Dan and Fred’s son Frank. We are in the fifth generation of the operation; for the most part, it has been a joy and blessing to be at our company with family! Technology has definitely passed me by, and the youth around the office are hinting I take a break and head to the farm in Round Top, TX. At the farm, Debbie and I raise a few cows; have a couple of longhorns (we met at UT, otherwise these bovine creatures are useless), a couple of old horses, two little donkeys and a few bee hives. During this Covid-19 mess, we have spent more and more time at the farm and recently built eight raised garden planters to replace a traditional garden (getting too old to bend over to till, weed and harvest). Note we are growing all legal crops, which may disappoint more than a few in our iconic Class of ’69!” “Tom Moore asked me to join the Kinkaid Alumni board a few years ago; it’s been a great experience, but a reality check since there is only one other board member who is older! Kinkaid of today is nothing like it was when we were there. I remember some of us had keys to the high school so we could clean beakers and test tubes for the memorable and geeky-cool Ray Peach. More than once several of us spent a few evenings inside the halls hanging out - and not performing our sworn duties. I doubt anyone, today, could get past the guard house without

N O T E S

WINTER 2020-2021

an ID and a thorough car inspection! The education one can get at our school today is stunning with all the advancements – remember that same Ray Peach taught us how to use a slide rule; now the students use handhelds with more power than the computers that sent us to the moon. Take some time to visit the school online and checkout all that the students have to make learning a great experience. The kids today should thank all us ’69ers for helping make their education such a memorable experience!” Bill Liedtke writes, “Adelaide and I are empty nesters, with two dogs and a cat who collectively seem to be in charge. Not travelling at all, and we have adjusted life to fit these challenging times. Literally the week before my son’s wedding, originally set in mid-March in New Orleans, he rescheduled it to November and now has pushed it to next March. Being in the restaurant business, back in March when the pandemic first hit and retail commerce came to a crashing halt, like many others, I got a good but fortunately short look at what an abyss looks like. Since then, we have been saving restaurants that could be saved and shedding those that could not. Things seem to be improving in this part of the country, but the same cannot be said for the restaurants in the New York/New Jersey area. I still play tennis four days a week and get to vent frustration by hitting a tennis ball hard – sometimes with control and sometimes not, and I play guitar most evenings. Focus on the micro to avoid dwelling on the macro. I think we are all coming to the same epiphany voiced in Pleasantville: ‘So, what’s going to happen now?’ ‘I don’t know. Do you know what’s going to happen now?’ Onward into the fog.” Peggy Whitmore Douglass writes that she and Jim remain healthy. “My son Rob and girlfriend came to our cabin in Ligonier, PA, to quarantine for a month from Tampa. I see my daughter Jill, her husband Justin, and grandson Will often as they are all in Pittsburgh. My therapy dog Bailey hasn’t been able to visit medical facilities since March. She clocked in over 400 hours before the quarantine. Although we have done multiple Zoom visits! She’s quite a talented lab performing a little ‘show’ for nursing home and rehab patients in the Pittsburgh area.” Carole Smithwick-Kiebach is “avoiding everyone and everywhere these days to protect David’s health. We commute between Katy and our farm in Willis, Texas, to keep from being bored out of our minds. David has developed an interesting eBay “store” selling a truly eclectic inventory. We haven’t seen the grandkids

since Christmas and won’t for the foreseeable future as the Air Force has assigned our daughter-in-law to NATO in the Netherlands to work on the international formation of space policies. The kids are already learning German and loving the exotic house with an indoor forest to play in. Andrew Kiebach (fs) is remote-working with a Warren Buffett company. Son Eric and wife L have successfully survived the pandemic while living in Kirkland, WA (first epicenter of Covid-19). My time is completely focused on trying to finish the retirement house we were promised in June. Anyone know an 800 pound DTP lawyer out there? Mostly, we are grateful for our good health as we celebrate our 47th wedding anniversary.” Carol and David have a new address: 1331 Old Salem Church Road, Willis, TX 77378. Gary Wilkerson has a new grandbaby, born September 11 to his daughter Christy. “He was 10 pounds 10 ounces at birth with a full head of hair. I told my son-in-law that I was already shopping for a new Harley for him. The model I chose was a Harley Fat Boy. I feel he will eventually fit it just fine. My son Stephen is in Fort Worth and started his own drilling company. Looks like he will get married next spring.” After 47 years of building houses, Gary is retiring. “Dorothy and I have decided to retire to Manitou Springs, Colorado, at the base of Pikes Peak. We bought a lot in the Crystal Park subdivision. It is a 2,000-acre gated development; however, the largest lot you can buy is .70 of an acre and there are only 263 sites, so the rest of the land is common area. Two sides of the project are abutted by National Forest. I decided to build my own house, and I am getting a whole new education in building because Colorado has an absurd amount of paper work required to just get a building permit. We both are looking forward to riding our bikes in the mountains and seeing new places.” As for your class correspondent, I have been enjoying seeing a lot more of my family. My husband now works at home on the computer seven days a week instead of only four, and my daughter Holly, whose work is also all on the computer, decided to give up her lonely apartment and move home since she doesn’t need to commute any more. We go for a walk most evenings, cook dinner together and watch reruns of shows like “Deep Space Nine.” My son and his family come by for a visit every Saturday, and they have just informed us that a second grandchild is on the way! The experience of a few Zoom meetings led my brothers and sister and me to set up weekly sibling meetings by Zoom. After many

68

N O T E S

years with a continent between us, we have a lot to say to each other. Since I have been essentially a fulltime farmer for more than ten years now, my daily slog has not changed during the quarantine. The demands of farming are eternal! I do miss singing in my chorus and going to dog shows on weekends, though. Thank you to all the class members who stepped up with such heartwarming enthusiasm after my emergency call for more contributions to this column!

1970 Malcolm Waddell Houston, TX mwaddell@sba-skincare.com Dear 1970 Classmates, A year like no other is the best way to describe 2020. Despite a Covid-19 outbreak and a delayed in-person celebration of our 50th high school reunion, our class answered the call by providing more news than any time in my 28 years as class correspondent. So, let’s get to it! Right off the bat, I heard from Leslie Buchanan. She wrote in response to my how’s life in your Covid-19 world, “During the isolation of the pandemic, we are doing our best to stay on two feet raising our new black lab puppy. Lincoln is now 8 months, 57 pounds and a handful! When he gets the zoomies, he thinks nothing of body slamming us or his older lab sister. Who thought raising a puppy at this age was a good idea? But then the other 23 hours of the day he is Mr. Sweetness. Other than that, our church vegetable garden and golf have been our sanctuaries.” Next, Janet Lee Cohen checked in writing, “We’re okay. New Hampshire’s numbers are pretty low on Covid-19. There just aren’t that many people where we live. That makes it relatively safe to go out for a walk without bumping into hordes of folks. We know how lucky we are. We also got to spend July and August in Maine, where the caseload was also low. Our youngest Rachel, her husband and two little boys moved in with us for the summer after a two-week quarantine required by Maine law. Our son-in-law Dan worked remotely all summer, and I got to play a lot of ‘trucks’. It was a bit of heaven amid a sad cycle of events. I hope our classmate Sandy/Lorna is safe and that the fires raging out west are put out ASAP. I wish everyone a safe fall and winter.” I, too, was concerned about classmates who might be in harm’s way due to the devastating West Coast

fires. I got a quick, short response from Sandy Stebbins Fossand in Portland, OR. She was okay and shared: “In answer to your question regarding fires, no fire threat right here, but we’ve had many days of harshly debilitating smoke during the worst of it.” She promised a longer update next time. Spencer Clark (fs) also checked in with a thumbs up from his home and winery in CA: “We have had two very close calls this year with the Hennessey fire that became the giant LNU fire and then 6 weeks later, the Glass fire. I called in the Hennessey fire at 6:25 a.m. after a lightning strike hit about a mile east of us. I saw the strike while standing at our octagon window watching the storm that morning. Unfortunately, the firefighters did not get there quickly enough and that fire grew from about 75 acres when I first spotted it to torch over 192,000 acres in Napa and Lake Counties. We harvested some grapes and made wine throughout with an ag work permit but were evacuated and stayed the evenings down in Saint Helena with my son, daughter-in-law and their family. The Glass fire started to the north of us about 8 miles away, and the same thing happened where it was called in by someone at 2:00 a.m. and at that time was only 50 acres. But once again, they couldn’t put it out quickly enough and that fire grew to burn 65,000 acres in Napa and Sonoma counties. Once again, we harvested and made wine throughout with work permits, but we were evacuated again. However, this time St. Helena was evacuated, too, so we had to stay the evenings at the Amizetta Farmhouse B&B in Yountville for a week. The fires burned about everywhere, but here in these eastern mountains above Lake Hennessey, we were definitely saved by the wind gods. The Hennessey fire winds blew to the east blowing the fire away from us. The Glass fire winds blew predominantly to the north keeping the fire pretty much away from us in the direction of Calistoga. Wines have been tested for smoke taint, and amazingly we’ve only had one batch that has tested positive. What can I say? God and a little luck have definitely been with our family during this unsettling year.” In this same “Mother Nature gone crazy” vein, I checked in on Bonnie Robbins Coburn. She’s lived in hurricane alley in the Beaumont-Port Arthur area for a long time with husband Mickey. With Hurricane Laura, she headed to a hotel in Spring, TX, and I assumed her family and home had dodged a bullet. Bonnie corrected me: “You know what assuming does? You are correct about Hurricane Delta, but a 65-year-old

tree fell on our roof from Laura. We had a whole lot to do as far as cleanup. Our son-in-law came and helped Mickey cut the oak tree off the house and burn the limbs. A new roof was put on at the end of September. We are currently in Florida for son Keith’s 40th birthday. Fortunately, we got here before Delta came in and kept us from flying out. Unfortunately, no cruises, so we have been staying pretty close to home.” Irene Moody Riviere shared what life in Austin with a pandemic is like for her family: “Despite Covid-19, Rob and I have continued to see our kids and grandchildren. In June, we flew to Iowa to see son Ryan, Annie and Vivi for our anniversary. We were two of maybe 15 people on the flight, so it felt like a private plane, very weird! We had a blast celebrating our anniversary with them! More recently we have been having sleepovers with our local grandkids. I can’t believe it, but our oldest grandson Leyton is a freshman in high school and also the starting quarterback, so we’ve been enjoying his football games. Nolan and Colton are also quarterbacks on their football teams, so we’re seeing plenty of football. Our youngest granddaughter is busy doing ballet and cheering on her brothers whom she absolutely adores! Anyway, I hope everyone has escaped Covid-19 and can help celebrate our reunion in person next spring. Love to all.” I reached Phil Salvador and inquired if he was enjoying retirement. He wrote, “I am totally addicted to retirement. It gets worse all the time. My son is working as a mechanical engineer for a Dutch company called ASML. Its main U.S. office is in Connecticut. They are the largest supplier in the world of photolithography systems for the semiconductor industry. Photolithography is the process of burning patterns onto thin substrates, such as burning circuit patterns onto silicon wafers for computers. In short, it’s pretty high tech. He is living in a shared house with three other young engineers. He seems to be really enjoying both his work and his social life. He hopes that ASML will eventually give him a foreign assignment. He has always loved foreign travel. He seems to have made a good start in his working life.” Katherine Thompson Jordan (fs) also had family news. “We have had some good things happen despite the virus. Before and during the start of the pandemic, my son Chris went through a tough time for more than a year while working for a company in California designing missile parts. His


C L A S S

wife and baby were back in Panama awaiting the correct papers and proper spousal visa and passport for their baby. With all the immigration problems going on, it seemed like they would never get here, but God is sovereign, and the documents came through. Daughter-in-law and our grandbaby both were able to arrive in Los Angeles just days before the borders were closed in Panama and the first days of the pandemic hit here in the States! The great news is they are here in Canyon Lake, five minutes down the road in a condo that overlooks the lake. My son Cal was able to stay here with us this year and is able now to get back to work having been in Alaska last year working through the University of Colorado on the Air Force base for the training mission. Now at FEMA, he will be sent to disasters using his past skills and learning new ones in the logistics division. I’ve really enjoyed having him here with us. I think he can remain as long as there are no disasters in this vicinity! That is a blessing. Daughter Katie and her husband Spencer have just moved to New Bern, North Carolina, where he will be the resident colon and rectal surgeon, and she will continue with her own child psychiatry practice. The grandkids are getting big: Luke is 8, Logan is 6 and Liam is 3. They bought a really nice house on the river opening to the Atlantic. It’s perfect for keeping their boys busy with a little beach and some piers on which to fish and crab.” Here’s some calmer news from a properly distanced, outside mini-reunion in early October. Anne and Tio Suman, Sherry and Tom Hale (fs), Carolyn and Ron Bernell and Robin and Browne Baker joined Suzanne and me at our home. Tio shared that they had made their annual trip to Boulder, CO. This year with the pandemic they drove instead of flying for their 3-week stay. The Sumans have 3 grandchildren thanks to son McLean ’87 (fs) and his wife who live and work in Houston. Tom and Sherry had also vacationed all over Colorado and beyond this summer again via auto. Tom fills in the details: “We went to the World Heritage Site at Chaco Canyon Indian ruins in New Mexico. Sherry climbed mountains outside Ouray, CO, made it to St. Elmo mining ghost town, Aspen, digging fossils in Kemmerer, WY, stayed with friends near Jackson, WY, went to Yellowstone and the Cody Firearms Museum, found the National Museum of Military Vehicles near Dubois, WY, visited my friend’s dinosaur site near Medicine Bow, WY, made it to the Stanley Hotel, found Tom Horn and Sacagawea’s graves, Garden of the Gods, and much more on our trip.”

And not to be left out of their own Rocky Mountain High, Ron and Carolyn had recently returned from a stay at their home in Arrowhead, CO. Browne is still working and playing golf regularly. It also turns out that Robin and he live in the same apartment complex as the sister of Cecilia Haas Barnes, one of my favorite classmates. Browne reported having a nice chat with Cecilia on one of her visits to see her sister. According to Browne, all is well with her family. Selby Schwend reported in with “Kathie and I are sequestered at our home on Smith Mountain Lake in southern Virginia and have been since March. We’ve had some occasional visits to see grandkids from a distance. We’ve got seven of them now and a new boy coming in late November. I’m sure that all this hysteria will probably evaporate after the election, so we are ready for that. All our five kids and their families are doing well, so we are thankful that their gainful employment and health continues. I hope this note finds all my classmates in good spirits and healthy. Happy Fall!” Ted Barrow dropped me a quick note: “Only big news from me is our third granddaughter arrived September 23, the first child for our daughter Jane.” As for his other grandchildren, “Harper, son Thomas’s eldest is 4½ and has started Pre-K. Audrey just turned 2 a couple of months ago. Both are doing famously.” Frank McGuyer also dropped me a short note: “Not much to report, I’m slaving away as an essential worker building homes. Our son Bart and his family are on continual lockdown in California and daughter Brooke is getting kids back to school here. Kinkaid finally opened back up. It will be very interesting to see where all this goes post-election.” Neal Anderson, whom I’ve seen a couple of times during the pandemic at one our mutual favorite Mexican restaurants here in Houston, shared, “Life is about as good as we could hope for in 2020. We just had our fifth grandbaby. Everyone is doing well.” I keep up with a lot of our classmates via Facebook. Cindy Brown, who lives in Boerne, is quite the naturalist and her garden has been officially recognized as a Hill Country Pollinator Garden by the Texas Master Naturalist, Hill Country Chapter and Native Plant Society of Texas. Just after Cindy earned this distinction, I spoke with Sheryl Lynn Coles Jones, who lives in New Braunfels with husband Jack. She had just added some acreage to her property and true to her environmental engineering background was set on turning this new land into a Master Naturalist site.

So, I connected her with Cindy, and hopefully Jack and she are well on their way on this worthy project. I tracked down Bill Blomdahl since I hadn’t heard from him in a while. Bill shared. “The latest with us is we have a new grandbaby girl. Our oldest daughter Elizabeth Blomdahl Spivey and her husband have a 5-month-old little girl, their first, and she is absolutely beautiful. Our other daughter Amanda Blomdahl Weathers and her husband have given us 3 grandchildren with the last one a grandson named after me. I am still working some oil and gas deals and also working with a new company in Tyler spraying for Covid-19 and other viruses. We have nailed down some large contracts in the East Texas area so we’re doing well with that business, too. I am currently sitting in our Cottage at Bluejack National waiting on some of my guests to come play golf with me on Tiger Woods’ Golf Course. If we do not get much rain tonight and tomorrow from Hurricane Delta, we should be able to get in some great golf this weekend.” Bill and I are Facebook friends as well, and on his page, I saw that he and Glenn Smith were “Friends”. I reached out to Glenn and got this update: “I’m at the same address (in Freer, TX). Cherry, my wife of 34 years, passed away in 2012 after battling breast cancer for 18 years. I’m content being an old bachelor grandfather. I have bought more ranchland and minerals, so life is good.” Glenn shared his email address, and I promised I’d be in touch. I still need to make good on that promise, but I’m so glad to have reconnected with him after so many years. With the reunions cancelled in April, I decided to put together a week-long emailed-to-everyone trip of the full week leading up to our graduation on May 22, 1970. As the week progressed, I heard from a lot of our classmates. One was Trish Houck (fs), who now lives in Dallas. Trish didn’t graduate with us but was a Kinkaidian from kindergarten to 9th grade. She reacted to the “In Memoriam” piece about the 9 members of our class who left us too soon. She wrote: “That is very sad about Toni Lazzari. Toni, Cindy Brown and I were good friends through 9th grade when I left for Lamar. I really didn’t stay in touch after that.” After getting her and Cindy reconnected, I inquired about her daughter. She wrote back, “Thanks for asking about Reilly who is 24. She graduated from the University of Oklahoma in May 2018 and has been working as an RN at Baylor, Scott and White in Plano for the last two years. She loves her job and loves her apartment in Oak Lawn about 15 minutes from our home in

Oak Cliff; both are neighborhoods in Dallas.” Speaking of reconnecting, Ellen Ginther Reifslager has checked in twice since our trip down memory lane in May. She wrote, “First of all, you did such a great job of helping remind people of our time at Kinkaid, including our graduation. Your emails that week had me smiling as special memories were brought up. I did very much love those years with my classmates. During this interesting time of pandemic concerns, our family has been blessed with good health and some continuity in our lives. When the shutdowns began in March, (husband) Walter and I happened to be visiting our son and daughter-in-law in Santa Fe, and we ended up under their roof for almost three months. We all enjoyed the unexpected extended togetherness. Upon returning to Austin, our home sold this summer, and so we will be spending more time in Santa Fe. Meanwhile, we have been enjoying several weeks of fall colors in Colorado with all our kids and their families. We have always loved our time in the Rocky Mountains. We are feeling grateful about so many things during these chaotic and unpredictable times. Of course, I was disappointed that our 50th reunion was postponed, as many must have been. Growing up in Kinkaid’s nurturing environment provided me a strong life foundation. Malcolm, thank you for helping us look back happily on our years together there.” I heard from so many of you when we celebrated our 50th reunion via email. Shelly Cain Caldwell (fs), who like many was with us from elementary to middle school and then finished at Lamar, shared “I have a funny Kinkaid story. About 25 years ago, I was teaching 2nd grade in Alief, and I team-taught with a darling younger woman. We started talking about our families, and I found out her father was Van Russell, and Mrs. Russell (my 5th grade Kinkaid teacher) and Mrs. Horsey (our Kinkaid music teacher) were her grandmothers! Small world! I saw her again about 5 years ago at a volunteer event. I just loved Mrs. Russell.”

After 50 years, I caught up with Phil Colvin. We had a great conversation. He has 8 grandchildren and 1 on the way! We talked about our years together at school. I remembered how he and Mr. Weld were like oil and water, and we had a good laugh about that. Phil and wife Nancy live in Santos, TX outside of Ft. Worth. They have 3 children. Daughter Ruth is an attorney, daughter Lydia is raising 4 of those grandkids and is expecting her fifth. Son Philip has the other 4 grandkids. Phil graduated from Sul Ross University with a degree in Accounting. He spent 17 years with Mitchell Energy in Mineral Wells which is where he met Janet. The last 21 years before his retirement were spent as controller for a utility company near their home. Janet’s career was in insurance, but when she tried to retire and hand over the reins, her clients preferred her over her successor and coaxed her back. Phil said she’s wonderful with people and has been willing to put up with him for all these years. I hope Janet and he will join us for the reunion next spring. Sam Collins checked in with his news. He wrote “It goes without saying that none of us expected that we’d be living through a world-wide pandemic at this stage of our lives. I’ve moved out of my office and am now officing from home. I have pared down my law practice dramatically which was where I was heading prior to Covid-19. Andi and I are pretty much staying inside, working from home, and watching a lot of TV. Emily ’02, her husband Lance and granddaughter Poppy moved from Ohio back to Houston, so we see our new (and first) grandchild often. She turned one-year-old in August. Everything everyone said about having a grandchild is true – she is a smart, happy, cute, fun kid – a real joy. Emily and Lance bought a new home and are very happy to be back in Houston with family where all the grandparents are. Jordan ’00 just moved permanently from San Francisco to San Juan, Puerto Rico, where he heads up a team doing renewable energy and other projects. Wish we could visit him. We usually start going to our second home in Asheville, NC, in April but due to the virus, our first trip was in August. We’re heading back in October for the fall colors for a few weeks. We’re now driving to Asheville, a two-day trip, but with semi-retirement, we have more time. We hope to be staying longer for each trip although the pull of Poppy is pretty strong. Be well, stay well and be safe.” I was pulling out the stops and all the heartstrings to hear from as many of you as possible. So, I asked everyone on National Teacher Appreciation Day to reflect on their favorite

70

N O T E S

teachers. I got too many responses to go over here, but I did get Charla Haas Bauer from Florida to chime in on this subject. Charla said, “I loved learning from all my teachers at Kinkaid. Particular favorites who come to mind are John Germann, Barry Moss and Senora Edith Carroll. Since February, I have been at home in Floral City. Nothing interesting to tell. It will be nice to see the news from the rest of the class!” Betsy Mickley Sheets, a teacher herself, reacted to that email and the May graduation week string. Betsy wrote, “The trip down Graduation Memory Lane was awesome. As usual, thanks again for your hard work. You’re right about an unusual year. What did I do during the pandemic?? Well, I couldn’t work, so I moved. I moved back to Houston (actually Spring) to be closer to the boys and grandkids. I’m still spending time in New Mexico at (boyfriend) John’s. I’m substitute teaching when I’m home. It is nice to be back even though I can’t find my way around with all the new buildings, toll roads, etc. I’m spending a lot of time with grandkids, too!! Oops, almost forgot! My favorite teacher was Mrs. Miller for Middle School Science. I kept up with her until she passed away. I still refer to her on occasion with quotes!” Alan Gerger responded oh so briefly to the favorite teacher request with “Malcom, this is great. But how are we to think about the forgotten and belittled Mr. Stendig and Mr. Cromack?” I didn’t have Coach Stendig, but I did have Dan Cromack for World Cultures. He lasted only a year. We were merciless to him in that 10th grade class. He went on to work for Houston Lighting & Power, I believe in its corporate communications area. And he never forgave us for our rebelliousness during his one-year tenure at Kinkaid. In September, Ron alerted me to some sad news. Long-lost classmate Giny Crain (fs) passed away in September. Like Shelly, Giny was with us from elementary school through 8th grade, and as Ellen Wadsworth shared, “I’m sorry to hear about Giny. She was a friend in 6th grade, and I spent time at her house often during the two years I was at Kinkaid. We lost touch after she moved.” I, too, lost track of Giny, so I reached out to brother Jim Crain ’69 to fill in the years after Kinkaid. Jim wrote “My sister left to go to Rosemary Hall in Greenwich, CT. She did not want to go. Her brilliant idea was to fail everything, so Rosemary Hall would not accept her. It didn’t work! She did indeed fail everything, including gym class! That’s really hard to do. She was accepted anyway at RH and did not enjoy her time there; she even ran away twice.

Still, she did graduate!” Giny went on to study art at Rhode Island School of Design and California College of the Arts. She married Walter Hogan and moved to Galveston Island. They had two children and two grandchildren. Giny enjoyed creating art, taking long road trips, and listening to Bruce Springsteen. She loved sunsets, particularly over Offats Bayou. I had often thought of Giny over the years. I loved her feisty, outgoing spirit in our days together at Kinkaid. I didn’t know she was so close down on the Island or I would have reconnected. I will let everyone know if and when an in-person celebration of her life is scheduled. Lisa Tuttle (fs) wrote expressing her sympathies upon hearing the news about Giny and remembered her fondly from elementary and middle school. She also provided some news on her home front: “What a strange year! Not much news to report except that in late September I made a virtual appearance before a virtual audience in Italy (with some stopping and starting due to internet problems and the need for a translator) where a new book of mine was just published. In a world without Covid-19, I would be looking forward to being a guest at a literary festival in Milan in October, but, well, it is what it is. Here’s hoping 2021 will be better.” In March, I officially retired after 23 years of working with Suzanne in her dermatology practice. This is actually my second retirement having done it in 1993 when I sold our industrial cleaning company to Waste Management. I am already enjoying the new freedom to pursue other interests including completing my last year on the Board of the Houston Area Women’s Center (HAWC). The pandemic has caused a 40% increase in reported domestic abuse cases, but this extraordinary organization has risen to the challenge. Demand for temporary housing for survivors has risen accordingly with the higher incident rate due to being sequestered with their abusers. Despite having to pare down the number of available units at our shelter, HAWC has worked with area motels to provide the safe havens needed for our clients, usually women and children. I want to share a link to a 60-Minutes piece that highlights the work HAWC is doing in all of our hometown: https://youtu.be/vXDmuCOrXg8. The most exciting personal news is we are FINALLY grandparents. Grandson Owen Mori was born in April during the height of the Covid-19 outbreak in NYC to our daughter Amanda and her husband Yusuke. Like all of you with grandkids, we are over the moon in love with this guy. Our other daughter Julianne lives in Denver, and I recently reached out

to our classmate Robin Singer Mowrer (fs), who with her family has a real estate firm there, to perhaps consider buying a home near the Denver Zoo where she works. Robin wrote: “Hello class of 1970. We started out this year with an awesome surprise 40th wedding anniversary for Dale and me. It’s a long story how he was able to surprise me with that (lots of white lies), but we had a wonderful time with our whole family out in California. All of my kids and their spouses and my four grandchildren (ages 1, 3, 4 and 6) are doing wonderfully. We had a little setback with our business in real estate during the first couple of months of Covid-19, but we are moving along in a very hot real estate market right now in Denver and in Dallas with my partners there, due to historically low interest rates. Healthwise, my husband, my kids, my grandkids and I are enjoying good health with our whole-food, plant-based diet and lots of exercise. Wishing everyone a happy, safe and healthy rest of the year.” Thanks to everyone for all this news. Enjoy your holidays in person or over Facetime as the case may be. For sure mark your calendars for the weekend of April 15-17, 2021, when we will celebrate our 51st reunion in person – CDC guidelines permitting!

1971 Claudia Wilson Frost Houston, TX cfrost@orrick.com The Back to the Future quote: “Marty, whatever happens, don’t ever go to 2020” is one many may not have remembered from the films, but one we will never forget. Focusing on the future and looking positively forward, the Class of 1971 is busy planning our 50th Class Reunion in April 2021. It will likely be with the Class of 1970, who had to postpone their reunion in light of the pandemic. Please be sure and let us know if you would like to join the reunion committee or otherwise be involved in the reunion planning. In the meantime, we have heard from a number of classmates, some just checking in to say, “we are ok” and others sending news. Everyone we heard from is looking forward to 2021 and the thought of our getting together. Marilyn Bellows reports from Austin that she is doing well. As for our class and the upcoming reunion Marilyn remarked, “I treasure these lifelong connections and hope to be able to see whoever can come.” Kim Norris advises that she relocated from Massachusetts to Austin last year to establish and head up a medical writing group at a small biotech.

Her brother Robert ’69 sold his property and together they have a few acres in an unincorporated part of Austin where they live with his ducks and dog and Kim’s 2 dogs. Kim reports that the pandemic has disrupted her recreational travel plans but other than working from home full time it has had no effect. Marilyn and Kim still get together and Kim enjoys hearing how others are doing. Lisa Morris Clements let us know that she is well and is chairman of their family commercial real estate investment company, Morris Strategic Investments. Her son Glenn Clements Jr. ’99 is president. Her daughter Camella Clements ’98 now resides in New Orleans with her family. “She is a Montessori teacher through and through!” as Lisa says. She further shared that “My husband, Jerry Simon and I are chairing the American Heart Association Heart Ball for 2021, but have shifted To “Hearts Across Houston” Campaign to conduct a series of virtual Zoom calls to introduce the expansive reach and community benefit that the AHA is practicing. We have been renewed to learn that such an effort exists by this expansive national organization to help with social inequities, and helping to minimize so many health issues related to the number one killer, heart disease! My dad Stewart Morris turns 101 in October and is in remarkable health with such a positive attitude! I extend a virtual hug and am forever thankful for my Kinkaid friends!” Marisue Dougherty Tallichet let us know the following: “George and I are well. We enjoyed the slower pace of life in Houston in the spring and then retreated to Montana for the summer. We’ve been able to see two of our four children during the pandemic.” Darrell Bock reported, “I am well. Covid-1919 grounded me. No travel since early March (to Canada to teach), but active teaching online (Albania, Philippines, India, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and Philippines) and an online meeting with a Houston group where Milton West is a participant.” Milton West shared some uplifting and positive news. “Since the last time I reported to Kinkaid, my youngest daughter Michelle West ’09 graduated from Georgetown Law Center and accepted a position with Kirkland & Ellis in their Houston office. Very proud of her, of course, and very happy to have her back in Houston. But not so fast. Her fiancé Michael Bertenthal who she met at the University of Michigan and re-connected with in Washington DC, graduated from medical school this March and got his residency match at the University of Chicago Hospital. Luckily, Kirkland & Ellis’s home office is in Chicago. So, we had a goodbye

party for them on June 5, 2020 and off to Chicago they drove the next day! Hopefully, they will return in three years. In the meantime, they are scheduled to get married at Pippin Hill Farms just outside DC on February 6, 2021 and with a little luck, I will walk her down the aisle that Saturday.” Danny Carroll checked in sharing some milestones and happy news. Danny told us that “I was appointed recently to the Scripture Press Ministries Professor of Biblical Studies and Pedagogy here at Wheaton College. I also had a book published in May, The Bible and Borders: Hearing God’s Word on Immigration, and a major commentary on the Old Testament book of Amos will appear in November. I am on sabbatical this fall and will be working on a few other writing projects. On August 7, my wife Joan and I celebrated our 44th anniversary, and on August 20 our younger son Adam and his wife Sarah had their first child David Luis—our fourth grandchild.” Laura Liedtike Bucholz reports from Wyoming that “The benefits of Covid-19 for me have been having my family back on the ranch for several months...plus my new (and first) grandchild Hank who is 9 months old. Living in the middle of nowhere has made this all very bearable! Right now. we have a massive wildfire burning to the east of us. Hoping for a little rain/snow to slow it down. We are safe as the winds are favorable.” Laura hopes to get to Houston next Spring and that “all this mess is under better control!!” In the meantime, Laura extends the following: “Stay safe and hope to see everyone at our 50th.” As for me, the Frost family is surviving in the new normal. I am working from home and finding a remote, yet very active trial practice challenging, unorthodox and often inefficient. I am trying to see it as a positive stretch and growth experience. The notion of an “old dog learning new tricks” has real meaning to me. I am looking forward to 2021 and our 50th Reunion. Stay safe out there.

1972 Lewis Luckenbach Sugar Land, TX lluckfam@aol.com Allan Tang Houston, TX allantang@earthlink.net All is well on my front (Lewis Luckenbach). I was a financial first responder working on the PPP loans for my business clients in late March

through early May earlier this year. Two of my grandchildren play for the Albion Hurricanes Soccer Club on Campbell road. There are no retirement plans in my future. My job has become in many ways my social life. I drive around and visit my clients. I have been self-employed since November 1981. I own a bookkeeping and tax service. My firm services 60 clients. Most are in the Houston area. I have two up in Austin and two in New York. My family still lives in the Sugar Creek neighborhood in Sugar Land. I have been there since 1975. Jeff Baker and his family are safe and well during the pandemic. He and his daughter are continuing their respective careers both virtually and in person, while his other daughter is completing her graduate degree both in person and virtually. They hope everyone remains safe and healthy. “We are looking forward to resuming social interaction and seeing everyone when the Kinkaid events resume in person.” Ellen Carrington King’s family business King Family Vineyards in Crozet, Virginia just outside of Charlottesville had a roller coaster of a year like so many others. “We were closed for several months at the outset of Covid-19. We applied for and received funding which helped us maintain our payroll and health insurance for our staff. Then we had a series of devastating frosts in late April and early May and lost most of our Chardonnay crop. We were able to partially open the tasting room in June and have thankfully been busy since then with online sales, wholesale distribution and in person sales as well. We had a good Roseland Polo season here on the farm as well. Our daughter-in-law Ali King is playing polo as is our granddaughter Stuart (12). All three of our sons Carrington, Stuart and James are full time here in the vineyard/winery business. They are all married to terrific gals. I am blessed to have eight grandchildren ages 1 to 14 and to be living surrounded by all of them.” Ed McFarlan reports his Covid-19 year was spent sheltering in place in San Francisco with plenty of smoke-filled skies during one of the worst fire seasons in California history. Fran Williamson reports that she is doing her best dealing with the virus hunkering down in the Hill country while catching up with fellow Falcons Cathy, Judy, Tracy and Marcia nearby whenever possible. David Hessel, our class contemporary jazz musician, reports that he plans to retire in March and move to New Orleans for most of each year teaching music and continuing his work with jazz. Son Max will be graduating from the University of Rhode Island and David hopes to

spend family summers on the coast in the Northeast somewhere. David graciously sent me a few copies of his CD last year entitled Leeward by the David Hessel Quartet. Lewis and I are still looking for a CD player and an opportunity to round up some Falcons from the class of ’72 for drinks and some contemporary jazz. Let me or Lewis L know, if you have a loaner CD player and want to join in for some cool tunes. Barbara Hall Bourland, MD lives on the water in Clearwater, FL and is busy working on the opening of a virtual Functional Medicine practice. She also stays involved with church during Covid-19 by teaching online Bible studies as well as busy keeping five grandkids happy. Nina Zilkha and her husband Michael have three granddaughters Cecilia (6), Imogen (4) and Genevieve (1). They spent the summer at their house in Maine and are looking forward to being in Houston during the holidays. We now have a friendly banker/loan assistant at Prosperity Bank where Cathy Loucks Mullett has taken on a new position. Cathy is also busy with five grandkids which may be the record number of grandkids for the class of ’72. Cathy, Lewis and Allan all look forward to seeing everyone at the upcoming 50th class reunion. In the meantime, stay healthy and stay in touch.

1973 Pam Dilworth Kissiah Houston, TX pkissiah@gmail.com Chris Jones reports that his daughter Elise ’13 moved home from Dallas in late March while KPMG’s offices are closed, so he has enjoyed having her as a housemate for the last five months. Chris is proud to report that Elise passed all four parts of the CPA Exam on her first try and won an Elijah Watts Sells award, which means she had one of the top 75 scores out of the 85,000 people who took the CPA exam that year. (Point of note: Her grades were about 20 points higher than Chris’ and it took him 2 1/2 years to pass the darn thing!) Chris celebrated July 4th at Beaver Creek with Elise and a couple of her friends. They had great weather, fishing and golf. No fireworks but plenty safe. He also spent the last full week of August visiting his son Camden (fs) in Kerrville. He’s in the roofing business and has been working 12 hour days, 7 days a week since Memorial Day to recover from three hail storms in Hunt that weekend. Chris finds watching the weather report for the

Hill Country of Texas to be kind of like watching a good football game! Although Chris has no grandkids yet, he does have two grand-dogs. Chris also has two golf trips planned for fall 2020 (Scotland and South Carolina). Robert Bradley moved to the Texas Hill Country from Houston where a Kinkaid contingent lives part-time including Jane Staub Towler and Susu Zimmerman Meyer and Fred Meyer. Rob also says he needs a Dan Hart and Leo Chaney gym class to get in better shape. John Knight and wife Susan who live in Tucson, took a road trip to visit their two daughters in California recently. With 100+ degree temperatures every day for months at home, they were beginning to feel like a couple of rotisserie chickens. So, they packed up and drove to meet one daughter and her family in Palm Springs for a few days and then visited another daughter in fire and black-out country in the Sierra Nevada mountains. Both visits were fun. They were careful with masks and sanitary procedures and returned home without catching Covid-19. John also reported that he has become disabled with end-stage arthritis in almost all major joints. This takes a real toll on his activity level but he faces it down every day and still enjoys a quality life. Although he can no longer exercise, John goes out every morning to patrol about 4 miles of rural highway near home, picking up litter. Some people do Tai Chi. John does Tai Trash in the spirit of a bumper sticker he saw recently. It says “Don’t Be a Trashhole.” (I love that! And I love that in spite of severe arthritis, John has not lost his keen sense of humor!) Jerry Maltz (fs) is doing well and living the Corona dream. Jill Mussman contracted Covid-19 during the summer. Fortunately it was

a mild case, but she found the isolation during recovery to be most difficult. Jill sends everyone a reminder to take all precautions to keep yourself and your family well. Scott West says that his firm has been able to work remotely for three years now, so the pandemic has fortunately had little impact on his insurance brokerage business. Since the office has four to five people who do regularly come in, it’s easy to remain distanced. They have been able to travel for work and fun and took a summer road trip driving around northwest TX, northern NM and Colorado Springs. Scott still enjoys his work and has no plans to retire. He is looking forward to getting back together socially in the city when it’s safe to do so. Sam Siegler finished building a frontrow view deck on Buffalo Bayou just days before Tropical Storm Beta hit Houston. As parts of the city flooded, the overflowing banks of the bayou washed well over the platform and railings, but the solid deck prevailed and withstood a powerful test of structural integrity. Hooray! Susu Zimmerman Meyer and Fred Meyer have been in the Texas Hill Country most of the time since March. A great place to isolate. They enjoyed lunch with Rob Bradley recently as he has moved up there permanently and is building a new home. Susu has been doing lots of printmaking this year, and Fred has been attacking cedar on his beloved Bobcat. They are both making slow but steady progress! Morgan de Marigny reports that two of his daughters graduated from the University of Texas in May with a Bachelors and a Ph.D. respectively. Neither had a ceremony. One left to go! Jane Staub Towler got together with Susu Zimmerman Meyer, Lisa Bernell Rostad and Missy Baker Jones in Hunt for a much needed visit! Great to have a meal together and sit by the Guadalupe River. Robert Bradley dropped by to say hi also. It was a great time in the hill country visiting family and friends. Fortunately, Jane did not have to quarantine for two weeks before returning to work even though she had been in two Covid-19 hot spots, Texas and Tennessee! Chuck Blanton canceled two trips to the beach in Mexico and then canceled the two-week vacation in Taos, NM and then canceled a trip in September to Iceland. He still has Rome on the books for Christmas but even the Italians may not let Americans in by then? So, 2020 has been a year of travel plans dashed to bits and suffering from house fever! Hopefully we will look back on 2020 as an inconvenient memory and everybody stays healthy.

Craig Anderson ’73

Judy Sud Morris has enjoyed socially distanced visits with not only her high school friends but also the adult kids of her high school friends! Judy, Lisa Bernell Rostad and Pam Dilworth Kissiah have all had our adult kids home with us in Houston during the pandemic. Since none of us raised our kids in Houston, the Morris, Rostad and Kissiah kids have spent this year socializing with 60-somethings rather than 20-somethings. What a treat to get to know the next generation! I agree, Judy! Having Ben, Jenna, Laura, Clark and Annie joining our gatherings has added a new dimension! Lisa Bernell Rostad is sighted often by our Kinkaid class in Houston at small, outdoor, socially-distanced gatherings. She has even been known to move the cocktails into the garage when the rains pour down, rather than end festivities early. Lisa is still caring for her mother, who recently celebrated her 97th birthday with mimosas and masks at home in Houston. Dana Lyon and I recently caught up for an outdoor lunch. She is doing well, still enjoying Houston and especially enjoying spending lots of time with her six active grandchildren (all of whom fall between the ages of 6 and 9). In finding the silver lining of the pandemic, Dana has enjoyed having a big block of uninterrupted time to focus on disposing of storage and boxes full of other people’s stuff! Pam Wilson Francis is another dear member of the Fabulous Class of ’73 that we lost much too soon. Due to the pandemic, we were not able to gather as a class to honor her, so I will just say here: Cheers to you, Pam! So many great memories! You are missed! As for me, Pam Dilworth Kissiah, 2020 began on a heavy note with the loss of my mother. She battled pulmonary fibrosis for several years. I am grateful to have had the past two years living in Houston near her and am especially grateful that she passed in January before the virus hit. Like everyone else, my 2020 vacation plans were nixed. I was headed to Switzerland for the Tour de Mont Blanc trek last summer, but alas, a

Marion Perryman ’73

no-go - so we also opted for western bound road trips instead! In addition to winding up mom’s estate matters, I spent 2020 undertaking a smallish remodel project at our ranch house on the Blanco River. Country remodeling always has its challenges! Gary and I will spend the holidays at our home in Berkeley, California; and although we are gradually moving back out there, I will always keep my touchstone in Texas. Our son Clark decided to return to New York in August to join the culinary team at Blue Hill at Stone Barns in the Hudson River Valley. This is a personal pursuit, as well as having some business purposes buried in there somewhere! And our daughter Annie is a Berlin DJ and music producer who is on hiatus until Germany lets Americans return. We have loved having both Clark and Annie home this year! At 29 and 25 years of age, we never thought we’d have them staying with us for more than a holiday or summer vacation! I certainly did not foresee that a global pandemic would bring us all together under one roof at this time in our lives. A blessing. Stay well everyone!

Vita has created a meditation garden at home and has recently started designing gemstone jewelry, soon to be found on Etsy under MJT Design Boutique. She can’t wait to see if anyone likes her pieces! Her two lovely daughters both work for CBRE in property management. Sara Morse Bettencourt is a world-travelling birder, an unbelievably complex knitter, wears good luck baseball shoes for the Astros to win and she hasn’t aged at all! What’s her secret, I wonder? Kari Cole Duncan remarks on what a strange year this has been for everyone. She’s thankful to be in Georgia so she can spend plenty of time with her daughter Taylor Ann and her beautiful granddaughter Avery (2). Kari reports that real estate is strong there and that it’s a sellers’ market. Bobby Goldstein now has his second grandbaby Silas Dane James. Sally Green Griffin has made at least 30 handmade queen-sized quilts during the pandemic! She says to get in touch if you’d be interested in one possibly for a charitable fundraiser. The workmanship is outstanding! One quilt is a Covid-19 quarantine

Carol Eckelmann Marshall and husband Bill have sold their lovely historic home in Montrose within about an hour of listing it(!) and then they drove North. They stopped in Eagle River, WI where Carol spent her summers growing up. Just like that, they became Wisconsin residents! They live on the lake and try to spend as much time outdoors as they can. Carol still works remotely for Texas Children’s Hospital, and Bill has retired. Their first grandchild Marshall Miller was born in February, and he’s discovered that he loves splashing. Nanette Cooper-McGuinnes became Artistic Executive Director of the contemporary chamber music group, Ensemble for These Times (E4TT).

Andrea Vail Reed is enjoying her job as Director of Texas Children’s Hospital Investment Administration. She is working from home and is about to launch a gorgeous remodeling and home addition project. Andrea and husband Bill Reed ’75 have spent much of their time in Crested Butte at her sister Susan Vail Ackerman ’77 and husband Asche’s stunning mountain house. Bob Snyder is enjoying his retirement and is doing cool stuff such as competitive shooting, making one of a kind knives, doing leatherwork, fishing and just enjoying life. He pitches in at his lovely wife Sandy’s antiques shop “Junk and Disorderly”, and he is doing some fantastic paintings. As for me, I am very grateful and blessed to report that, at least for now, I am cancer free! Thanks to my devoted family and friends, I was able to ring the bell at MD Anderson during the peak of the virus. If you are lucky enough to not know what that means, it means that you have completed your chemo and/or radiation

treatments. In other news, after 62 years, I’ve started exercising! So it’s never too late to try something new! One final and very sad note. Our dear classmate, Matt Thanheiser passed away recently. Please keep his wife and high school sweetheart Giggy Martin Thanheiser ’77 and their three children Will ’05, Hall ’07 and Ellen ’13 in your prayers.

1977 Jane Van De Mark Houston, TX janevandemark@yahoo.com Friends in the Class of 1977, here’s what is going on with our classmates! David Morley and his wife Anne became empty nesters in 2011 when they decided to leave “big city life” in Houston and moved to the north shore of Lake Travis. Anne is semi-retired from her career in personal fitness and physical rehabilitation and returned to UT-Austin for a couple semesters to finish her accounting degree. As David says “Go Longhorns!”. In 2013, David retired from his 30-year career in environmental engineering and consulting as a geologist. He then he joined TxDOT for a “semi-retirement” career managing consultants and contractors who provide the services which he previously provided as a consultant. David said he might retire again in a couple years! He shares that they miss their Houston friends but love the “lake life.” In their time off, they are frequently on Lake Travis where they enjoy racing sail boats and try their best at water skiing, wake boarding, kite boarding, wind surfing and about anything that involves the wind and the waves. Since moving to Lake Travis, they have enjoyed seeing classmates Brad Armstrong, Bob Roberts, Jay Chernosky and Steve Dunn. David and Anne have two daughters. Jen ‘10 (fs) married Clay Burner in 2018 and they are living in Fort Worth. Daughter

Kristin ‘11 (fs) has been working in South Africa for the past year. The five of them enjoy some international travel every few years together as a family. David and Anne are enjoying the “good life!” Since 2011, Clark Ervin has been a partner in the Washington office of the global law firm Squire Patton Boggs. After having been appointed by President Bush to be the Inspector General of the State Department of Homeland Security Department, Clark specializes in representing clients which are being investigated by federal Inspectors General, the Department of Justice and other federal agencies, as well as Congress and State Attorneys General. Clark also conducts internal investigations on behalf of his clients, and has served as a Monitor for both the Department of Justice and the Department of Education. He also does lobbying for clients before the State Department of Homeland Security and other national security-related agencies. Clark’s wife Carolyn Harris is an education consultant based in Washington. They have a daughter Callie (14) who is a 9th grader at the Holton-Arms School in nearby Bethesda, MD. Sadly, I share the news that Giggy Martin Thanheiser’s husband Matt ’76 passed away at the end of August. I know we will all miss our fellow Kinkaidian with the kind and gentle heart. We are all thinking of Giggy and their three adult children Will ’05, Hall ’07 and Ellen ’13 and wishing them peace and comfort. Until next time, enjoy your holidays! Wishing you all well, Jane Van De Mark

1978 Sarah Deal Frankenfeld Austin, TX sarahf422@me.com Hello everyone! I certainly hope that you are doing well. I first want to honor two of our classmates who we lost during 2020. Sweet Joyce McCarter passed away on August 18. After Kinkaid, Joyce continued her education at the University of Houston, graduating with a Bachelor of Science in Petroleum Land Management. Joyce very successfully ran a personnel consulting business for many years until she retired to spend her remaining time with her loving family. Randy Kemper passed away on September 12. Randy earned the title “Handy Randy” for his skilled handyman work. He had many hobbies including fishing, guitar, reading, welding, admiring art and cycling to name some. He and Roxann made their home in Rockport.

We will miss these classmates and are thinking of their families. Thank you to those who sent something in! Let’s get right to it – Jennifer Justice Bowen and sister Amanda helped their mother and daddy move out of their house of 54 years this past summer to a swanky new retirement center next to Second Baptist on Woodway. Lots of great memories on Tilbury but they love the new place. Jennifer, who works for St. John’s School, is happy to have students back but is ready for 2021!!! Bill Bruce reports that he and Clare are GRANDPARENTS!!!!! (The caps and !!! are his so I think you can say they are a little excited!) Anna Page Hill Denby was born in August. Welcome to the world, Anna Page! Daughter Katharine (fs) & husband Tim thankfully live maybe a mile away from Bill and Clare. They are very happy about that!! (I think I see some babysitting in sight!) Heather Fichter Cassidy unfortunately broke her leg quite severely in June. She spent 15 weeks in bed healing, then on to rehabbing and hopefully will be back to almost normal by the time we are reading this! Youngest son Michael proposed to his girlfriend of eight and a half years in August, and she said yes! Heather and John are expecting two more grandbabies, a girl and the other sex unknown at this writing, due in March!!! Scott Lucy is still working with brother Mark Lucy ‘76 focused primarily on the roofing industry. When their company survives 2020, they will celebrate their 80th year. They recently moved their office into the same office as Johnny Byrd, Jimmy Byrd’s little brother. Scott’s youngest Olivia moved from the American School of London to the American School of Milan after completing her Masters at University College London last fall. She is teaching 3rd graders and assistant coaching the girls’ varsity soccer team. Fortunately, Sherrie and Scott were able to meet her in Madrid for a long weekend and then work their way up Italy to put the “Dad stamp of approval” on Milan and her new apartment BEFORE COVID-19! Scott used the Covid-19 “down time” to get a new roof, a new hip, two new feet and elbows... it’s a long story, but he is doing great and ready for the fall hunting season and 2021! Mark Hancock wanted to catch us up on 40 years (at the prompting of a very impressed classmate who thought the purple and gold would want to know about Mark’s adventures)! Anne and Mark are still living in Bronxville, NY with beloved family member Lucy, their 14 year-old Shiba

Inu. When they moved there 18 years ago from Greenwich Village, where they had lived for 12 years, the quiet and space was a little unsettling. They were able to survive and, for the time being, are very happily settled. Both kids have recently graduated college and moved away. Fred graduated from Binghamton University with degrees in English, philosophy and anthropology and is now living in northern Vermont working as a wilderness therapy guide until going to graduate school. He loves it up there and sporting a full-Vermonter beard appears to have gone native. Joan graduated from Johnson and Wales with a degree in equine business management and now lives in Maryland where she is business manager for a veterinary practice. Over the years they have enjoyed all manner of mountain sports. The gateway-drug for this addiction was a 1988 trek in Nepal and every trip taken since has involved some form of mountain activity. Mark and Anne spent a number of summers climbing 4,000 meter peaks in the Alps and winters were spent in the Adirondacks hiking and climbing frozen waterfalls. When the kids came along, they fell into a routine of summer hiking in the Alps and winter ski racing all over the Northeast. One highlight was the 5-week trek in western Nepal along the Tibet border that Mark and Fred made together in 2018. Looking back, Mark said it is remarkable that they managed to raise two kids without ever setting foot in a Disney theme park!! (Note from Sarah: Not sure I can see this mountain-climbing family riding on It’s a Small World or Peter Pan rides?) Mark had to recount one epic moment which occurred when crossing a steep slope while descending a mountain on the Swiss-Italian border. The snow broke loose under his crampons and he found himself sliding at an ever-increasing speed toward the glacier far below and not able to self-arrest the fall. Anne reacted instinctively and expertly drove her ice axe into the snow and secured herself to the mountain just before the rope jerked tight to her harness, thereby, saving the day (and Mark)! Mark says that although Anne is exceptionally fond of enthusiastically telling this story, he suspects that over all the ensuing years there may have been an exasperated moment (or two) that caused her to wish she had opted for the Whymper technique and simply cut the rope! Notwithstanding, he is very happy they tied-the-knot. As for me, Sarah Deal Frankenfeld, I have nothing that comes near to Mark’s story but here goes. After living in downtown Austin for three months,

we moved into our downsized new townhome closer to where we lived before. Mid-March everyone came home! Daughter Caroline to finish her senior year at UT, husband Ken to set up his new home office and son Kevin and his girlfriend from NYC. Thankfully, our other son Kyle lives in Austin in his own home. We made the best of it with the furniture we brought from our previous home, thinking we would be purchasing some new items for the house. Did you know that moving blankets make great rugs?? All in all, we had a great time together! We spent the dog days of summer in search of cooler temps. We even did some hiking in New Mexico and Colorado, although I will spare you my hiking experience since it doesn’t compare to Mark’s above!! Like Scott’s daughter, our daughter was also bitten by the global bug and moved to Madrid in September to teach English. We are waiting until a vaccine and the allclear to go see her! All I can say is thank goodness for What’s App and FaceTime!! I am adjusting to this new normal and hope that you are also!! Stay well and take care! Here’s to moving into year 61 with grace!

1980 Tom Dunlap Houston, TX 619-929-1413 td@tomdunlap.com Seems like our heads our spinning. Plan a reunion; don’t plan a reunion. Of course, we did plan April 2020 which was cancelled at the 11th hour. Ever stalwart, your leadership team went back and forth about planning a redo in 2021. As you know, and if not, now you do, the next reunion for the Class of 1980 will be at the regularly scheduled interval in 2025. A dear member of the class lost her brother this year. Our prayers and thoughts go out to Adele Thanheiser on the passing of her brother Matt Thanheiser ’76.

Always fit and athletic, Mike Ereli shares this unusual experience: My wife began to feel bad on July 5, the Sunday after the whole family had spent a great Fourth of July weekend together at home. She had full on, flu-like symptoms the next day. My daughter started to feel run down on the 7th. They both got tested and both came back positive for Covid-19. By then we were all isolated from one another, but I started to feel bad on July 11, although my son never had any symptoms. We all had slightly different symptoms and cases, but the general experience was the same: two-three days in bed, followed by two-three days of generally feeling run down. After a week, my wife and I were both back to 70-80% but were still pretty wiped out and taking a nap every day. My daughter felt fine. For the next few weeks, I did not improve much at all. I was still very tired, felt extremely weak and had a constant brain fog. Focusing on anything was an effort and after an hour or so of concentration I would have to lie down and close my eyes for 15-20 minutes. I had some mild improvement by week six, but the gains and setbacks came in waves. I could have two or three “good” days, followed by having to be on the couch for pretty much an entire day. The symptoms would come and go headaches, sore muscles, dizziness and the constant fatigue, especially after any type of physical or cognitive exertion. I started to do my research at this point and learned that my experience was not at all unusual. About 30% of all Covid-19 patients had lingering symptoms after three months, with fatigue and brain fog being the most common symptoms. The medical community is still debating whether the long-term effects are caused by the lingering virus or by a hyper-active immune response. Either way, the post-viral syndrome was primarily a neurological issue. I suffered from fatigue; my wife had still not regained her sense of smell, others had tingling in their hands, blurry vision, trouble balancing or shortness of breath. I got blood tests to rule out anemia, thyroid problems or vitamin deficiencies. There was nothing to do but wait for improvements. At 10 weeks, I still had to take a nap every day and anything harder than a three mile walk would take me hours to recover. In week 12, the brain fog suddenly lifted. I woke up one day and immediately felt the difference; I could think clearly, felt motivated and had a bit more energy. I am starting week 13 now, sleeping lots, conserving energy and remaining optimistic that I’ll be back to 100% soon.” We are glad that he is on the mend after an unusual encounter.

Marilyn Huggins Goettee shares that Pat Paukune Berry’s husband John was recently diagnosed with cancer. Surgery then chemo. Prayers heading that direction. Anne Elise Mumford is loving this new chapter in her life and being back in Houston after 25 years on the East Coast. She bought a home in The Heights last December and is doing lots of walking with her six month old (very energetic) Schnoodle puppy. Her kids are 24, 22 and 18. The oldest teaches school in Boston and the younger two, who are with her some of the time, are in school in CT and FL. Welcome Back, AE! In September, Larry West celebrated his four-year work anniversary. It has been four years since he opened the doors to his law firm West Mermis located in the Fulbright Tower in downtown Houston. Among other matters, the firm handles a decent case load involving construction disputes. Great job, Larry. Elton and Ginny Barret Arceneaux sold the ranch in Texas. “We now call Sparks, NV home. Instead of whitetail deer in the yard, we get mule deer! Loving it.” I recall Ginny sharing it was about 9 large trucks with 11 drivers Mark McMurrey sends from Austin that last year he founded an initiative that utilizes various technologies to expand the availability of mental health services over a wide range of platforms. Happily sharing Austin with daughter Stella who is a sophomore in fine arts student at UT and hoping that son Belton will soon be able to get started in the film production business after recently graduating from USC. Lots of yoga, biking, swimming and of course golf! Marilyn Huggins Goettee reports: “We are well! My twins are both back at school. James at Washington & Lee actually going to class, and John is back at Princeton but only doing online classes. Both are seniors, and John actually landed a really good job at Barclays in NYC. One down and one to go! We moved back to River Oaks which has been great. Jimmy remains busy but we enjoy being empty nesters. Eager to get some safe travelling up and running.” Cliff Roberts shares that he is handling personal injury cases across the country. Angie is helping the Mission of Yahweh, a shelter for homeless women and children. Cliff and Lee graduated from TCU and are working in commercial real estate. Joe Jaworski (fs) splits time between Houston and Galveston. He continues to mediate Defense Base Act claims arising from the Global War on Terror. He is still playing drums in his Houston garage to his favorite classic rock songs… and to his

neighbors’ lament. Joe and Rebecca just celebrated thirty years of marriage, and their son Lee is a junior at Boston College and daughter Becca (fs) is a sophomore in high school. Joe added a new job: he is a declared Democratic candidate for the 2022 Texas Attorney General. The campaign is already underway. Learn more at www.JaworskiForTexas. com. Robert Sorley has been studying Spanish during the quarantine. His daughters are on the West Coast. Ariel is in Seattle with Microsoft and Olivia in film production in Los Angeles. His wife Carole is an entrepreneur selling her masks on Etsy. Robert continues to operate a geophysics company in Houston. Caroline Baker Hurley and her husband Bruce have been married for 21 years and have three children, all of whom are Kinkaidians. Grace ’19 (19) is a sophomore at University of South Carolina majoring in Marine Science; Emma ‘22 (16) is a junior in high school and Bruce ‘23 (15) is a sophomore. Caroline retired as a state district judge in Harris County after serving for 21 years. She continues to sit by assignment and also serves as an arbitrator and mediator. Bruce is a partner at King & Spalding, with a national trial practice in complex litigation. Their family loves to spend time together in Montana and at home with their menagerie of three dogs, three cats and a rabbit. I had great conversations with Katy Liedtke Bade, Emily Tuttle Wilde, and Shannon Wills Webb and all send best wishes.

1982 Maria Semander Crawford Redondo Beach, CA msemander@yahoo.com Hello Class of ’82! By the time you read this we will be well into our 10th month of life with Covid-19 and my 10th YEAR (at least) of writing this column! Remember, if anyone has a burning desire to take over, the job is yours. Like many other classmates, I have spent the “Covid Life” in different stages and have learned many things along the way. I’ve taken advantage of open middle seats and cheap

airfares on Southwest to travel to Texas multiple times to see my mom and aunt, who aren’t able to get out and about as much as they should. I spent 14 days in quarantine, after our older son tested positive for Covid-19 this summer and learned how hard it is to keep a college student isolated. Luckily he was fine, and none of us caught it. I discovered how much of a germaphobe I really am after realizing that most companies didn’t actually sanitize things before Covid-19. “Really? You didn’t wipe those things down BEFORE???” And I confess that I absolutely do not take after my dad’s teaching abilities, and I am definitely not a fan of virtual learning. But even pandemics have silver linings and spending so much time with my family reminded me of what is really important in life. 2020 has taught me that it’s OK to pause our lives every once in a while for a greater good. Other pandemic lessons I learned came from my fellow classmates. Jimmy Michaels made it to his son’s high school graduation this summer without a walker, which he thought was a possibility when he did the math after he was born. Jimmy and wife are now “free birds” (Lesson #1 – “free birds” are the new “empty nesters”.) and were planning on traveling with both kids finally out of the coop including nice seats to the US Open, but so far Covid-19 has blown up all their big travel plans. Their daughter is back in New York for virtual law school but no visiting there either due to quarantine rules. Hopefully by the time he can visit, he won’t need a walker! Melissa O’Toole Smith and her husband Paul are almost “free birds”. Their older son Ryan graduated from the business school at UGA in May with a degree in Risk Management and Insurance. He was hired after graduation (thankfully!) and is working in Houston at a firm called Insgroup. Their younger son Kyle ’21 is a senior at Kinkaid. While stuck at home during Covid-19, Paul and Melissa have been enjoying their pool, playing backgammon and cooking and baking. Susan Schwarz Cornett has also been “Covid-19 cooking” with her husband Casey. They have been trying lots of new recipes to make sure they are ready to entertain once they get the green light again. Susan confesses that she really misses making and enjoying a big charcuterie board! (Lesson #2 – I need to try one of Susan’s charcuterie boards.) Susan has also been traveling to Colorado Springs to see her Mom. Not to leave any free time, she has also taken up golf and bought a cruiser bike. If you see her riding around Memorial, wave hi! Michael Guerriero lives in Jonesboro, AR (the state college town) with his

wife, a girl well above what he deserves (his words not mine!). They have two boys, one at A&M and one at UC Boulder. Michael reports that with two college students they have been lucky not to have had any Covid-19 cases in their family...yet. Michael has also been taking advantage of an empty nest and the empty middle seats on Southwest, spending half the year in Arkansas and the other half in Steamboat Springs, CO. Curt Alfrey is also shuttling between two states. He still lives in Texas but travels to Colorado for court now and again. Most of court is done via Zoom meeting these days, and he admits that the top half of his suits are getting lots of use. (Lesson #3 – some people actually only wear the top half of clothes for Zoom meetings.) Curt has two teenagers who are acting like….well, teenagers. Curt and his three sisters were happy to be able to have a family reunion in Galveston to celebrate his mom’s 88th birthday! It was the first time they had all been together in quite a while so it was a special celebration. Speaking of celebrations, Bo Winston and wife Stacy celebrated their 30th wedding anniversary in March. Stacy is a saint to be married to Bo (his words not mine… I see a pattern here). They have enjoyed living in Boerne, TX for the last 18 years, and their kids range in age from 22 to 28. All of them are out of school and three out of four are married. Grandpa Bo has three grandchildren (two girls and a boy) and like all the other classmates who have grandkids, Bo says it’s GREAT….and BO KNOWS! Grandpa Mike Curran and his wife Kristin took a trek across the US to North Dakota in early May to do a “wellness check” on Kristin’s mom. It was early in the pandemic so they rented an RV and drove across California, NE, Utah, Wyoming, South Dakota, Idaho, and Montana! Mike now goes by the name RV Cowboy. David Frame and his wife Jenny have also been “trailer traveling” in their resto-mod 1967 Airstream to visit their youngest Colin at Texas Tech. They also enjoy an occasional camping trip to relax and get away. Their next adventure will be with two other couples (social distanced in their own trailers) for a week long camping trip to the West Texas area to climb Guadalupe Peak. (Lesson #4 – that is the highest peak in Texas.) David realized a big personal benefit to the pandemic is that he and Jenny do a lot of walking now. Annelise Bovet found the same silver lining in all of the madness by getting out and walking 10,000 steps every day. (Lesson #5 – I need to walk more.)

Linda Lyons Ewing (fs) reports that she hunkered down during Covid-19 and went nowhere. And she loved it! While on lock down, she and her business partner developed a new e-commerce website for their store, ThreeDoorsHouston.com. She is hoping it will boost the retail side of their construction and design business. Like many small businesses, she says they are “hanging in there”. She added, “I’m not one to rush time but I’m ready for 2020 to be done”. We can all agree with that! Another “free bird” in our class is Michelle Rogers Rogers who always gives me the scoop on other classmates. She reports that Laura Wynne Cale’s daughter is getting married next year, Waverly White Gage is going back to work for Jana Fay Bacarisse’s law firm, Marilyn Taylor Phillips and Bruce Phillips now have two grandsons and Fay Monsen Kirby has been back in Houston for a year now and is loving it. Dewey Gaedcke didn’t email but when his post showed up on my Facebook feed and showed him doing a back flip off a rope swing and a yoga pose on top of a large boulder, I couldn’t resist! (Lesson #6 – I need to work on my back flips and yoga poses.) And finally, although I wish I did not have this news to report, we lost a very special classmate this year. Rusty “G” Johnson passed away in May after a long battle with cancer. His family asked everyone to “gather your friends and family, pop a cold Coors Lite or New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc, put your feet up by an outdoor fire (preferably an excessively smokey one, built with random objects the fire department would prefer you not burn), and tell tall tales of fishing exploits or exotic street meals from far flung lands” in honor of Rusty. And with that special request, we all decided to do just that and held two Zoom “gatherings” to toast his life and share stories. Classmates who were able to Zoom or emailed a memory were Corkie Stallings Aragon,

(I hope I didn’t miss anyone.) Michael Guerriero shared some special memories. Martin Brock remembered “G” as a super nice guy with a kind smile. Ray Gregory talked about how much G loved to travel, fish, play tennis, golf and hunt. Bruce Phillips shared a story about being a doubles partner with G on the tennis team. G was left-handed and he had a wicked spin serve that took the returner way off the court on the “add” side. It was a huge advantage for their team. G taught Bruce how to serve the same way right-handed so they dominated the court. Bruce remembered G was slow footed but quick witted, which made the time they spent together on the court fun and memorable. Rusty was truly one of a kind and he will be missed immensely. Rest in Peace, dear friend, may your memory be eternal. (Lesson #7 – Life is short, so enjoy every moment.) I hope by the next column we are back to some sense of “normalcy”. In the meantime, treat each other with kindness and respect. I’ve said many times what a special class we have and I truly mean it. With so much division in the country and so many different opinions and political views, it’s nice to know that the Class of ’82 will always rise above the negativity and put friendships above politics. Which brings me to my final pandemic lesson – there really is “no place like home”.

1986 Julie Templin Berman Houston, TX julie@thelimogeslady.com Class of 1986! Save the date for our 35th reunion on April 17, 2021! Sergio Amelio and his wife Elizabeth ’92 have settled nicely back in Houston since their move back in 2018. They have two kids at Episcopal High School (Christina, a junior and Alex, a sophomore). They are also proud parents of a new falcon with Nico ’27 entering the 6th grade at Kinkaid this year. Sergio runs and bikes for fun and throughout the Covid-19 shut down he tried to fulfill his New Year resolutions to learn to cook better and to learn to play the guitar (he confides neither is going too well!). Susie and Chris Cone started the year as empty nesters until Covid-19 hit. Since then, they have experienced two virtual graduations from UT and A&M, had their TCU student at home for the rest of the spring semester and summer, one working in Dallas, and now have one living at home with them while searching for full time employment. Chris shares these are all good things as they have enjoyed the family together time, but ready to put 2020 in the rearview mirror! Chris looks forward to seeing everyone at the 35th reunion. Ric and Karen Lee Davis bought an air conditioning company almost two years ago! It has kept them super busy, especially during the summer! Their oldest Barclay graduated from SMU and works for Momentum Minerals in Houston as an analyst. Philip attends East Texas Baptist University where he plays ice hockey with a bunch of Canadians who somehow find themselves in Marshall, TX. Alyssa is in 6th grade at St. Francis Episcopal. Karen reports all is well! Rob Devlin is in his 16th year as the Head of St. George Episcopal School in San Antonio. Rob shares this year has been the most interesting and challenging yet! Valerie Khuri Hale writes they sold their house in Pearland and moved to

College Station after her daughter’s graduation in 2019, as her husband is a professor in the Mays College of Business at Texas A&M. Heather Ledbetter Kearney (fs) is splitting her time between Houston and Crested Butte. She and Wayne are enjoying being empty-nesters! Tommy Lamme writes: “My son Charlie ’21, who is a senior at Kinkaid this year, and I spent time during the Covid-19 quarantine watching a Jack Chiprock video from April 11, 1986. Charlie was impressed with my front-man skills, Drew Burch’s “first bassman” chops and awesome blond wave, Chris Beeley’s stick work (basically pro-level), Chris Gillett’s overall mastery of the guitar (at age 18!), and of course amazing solos by Soozi Graf Kershner ’88. I think he may have even complimented the band and his old man. I don’t know what “it’s lit!” means. I can say 34 years seems like yesterday. We haven’t changed a bit!” Tim and Tonya Kafoglis Lemoine report to be sort-of empty nesters, as their last child graduated this spring from Episcopal School of Acadiana and headed to LSU, their eldest graduated from Hillsdale College and took a job at a classical school in Alexandria, VA, and their middle child returned to Hillsdale College for her junior year, but they rescued two mostly-Lab puppies. Tonya hopes Daisy and Rocky will keep them grounded and moving!! She looks forward to seeing everyone in April. Steven Livitz writes his daughter Lindsey graduated from Alabama in May and lives in Dallas. She works for a women’s clothing line, Koch (@ shop’koch), heading up online marketing and social media. Steven’s other daughter Ashley lives in NYC working at Bellevue in the psych ward as a therapist. Steven started a new company, Ironclad Strategies, two years ago. Ironclad Strategies specializes in estate planning, business consulting and asset management. Steven and his wife Stephanie are enjoying the empty nest with their quarantine acquisition Pickles the French Bulldog! Elizabeth Gottlieb Pavel is happy to report all is well. She is still living in California, having moved there after college to do her Ph.D. at Stanford. She somewhat recently joined her husband Tom in early retirement after 20 years of working in Silicon Valley high tech. She has no regrets, and they haven’t looked back. It’s been really great having the time to travel and visit family (pre-pandemic…) and to pick up some old hobbies again. These days, Elizabeth shares she is spending her time gardening, cooking, making jams and pickles, doing needlepoint and catching up on reading, among other things. That

said, Elizabeth sure looks forward to when we can travel again. Stay well and safe, my friends! Gincy Carrington Plummer has moved eight times since 1986! She is currently back in Virginia. Her two oldest kids are in Boulder! Gincy sends well wishes to all! Steve Rogers (fs) says, “When we were at Kinkaid, Vice President Bush would come to Houston on a pretty regular basis. I used to watch the Chinook helicopter come down a deserted 610 freeway, quickly followed by a line of cars with the Bushes in the middle. They must have flown Air Force Two into Hobby or somewhere besides Intercontinental because they came from the south. I have always had an interest in elective politics, since everyone in our class voted for President Ford except Amy Webb in our class mock election of 1976. From our social media posts, that ideological makeup has changed. I retired from the practice of real estate/tax law a year ago to run for Fort Bend County Attorney. I am the Republican nominee and I’ve never enjoyed work this much. The county attorney is really a middle management gig. He or she directs the civil legal work within a scope defined by the County Commissioners. My wife of almost 20 years and I (or me - heck English class ruined my sense of grammar) have four kids ages 5 to 15. I’ve seen your kids going to or graduating from college. As with most things in life, I started late.” Mary Lou Smulders was back in Houston briefly following Hurricane Harvey to assist her parents with their completely flooded home. She met Anderson Cooper right in front of their house! Mary Lou writes they got lucky in Silicon Valley and were able to move to Park City, UT. She skied, hiked, biked and ran for two years straight until she got a little bored. Mary Lou is now CMO of another Silicon Valley startup (from Utah thank you, COVID-19.) They moved to Salt Lake City to be closer to their four girls’ school but kept the house in Park City. Mary Lou says before COVID-19, her husband of 23 years traveled every week Monday through Friday. Their longest stint together was 21 nights in a row during their honeymoon. Now he is home every day, and they are still getting along! Pippa Sorley is a Sustainable Business Consultant who works with non-profits, B Corps, NGOs and conscious businesses that have paved the way toward transforming business from extraction-based to regeneration-based. She is a consummate entrepreneur who has founded several businesses and has worked for cutting edge sustainable companies such as Whole Foods Market, Wild Oats Markets, Elephant Journal,

Pangea Organics, Slow Money and others. She currently serves as Deputy Director at Earth Guardians, one of the oldest and largest youthled non-profits globally, whose mission is to provide a platform for millions of youth to tap into their well of power to create solutions to the most pressing issues of our time. Pippa is deeply passionate about economic systems and using the platform of commerce to shift the paradigm towards a socially and ecologically regenerative economy. She co-founded one of the first and largest online eco-market places, eConscious Market, which was founded on triple bottom line standards. She lives in Boulder, CO with her wise-beyondyears son (11) and her insanely smart border collie Yoda. After over 25 years Courtney Tuttle has left New York City. She writes she is living in a house for the first time since graduating from high school! The silver lining in the time of COVID-19 is that she doesn’t have to commute! She hopes everyone is staying safe. Scott Weinert is in private practice as a psychotherapist in Dallas. He specializes in conflict resolution, reconciliation after infidelity and recovery from substance abuse. Mollie Anderson Whisler writes: “Where to begin this update! I am just wrapping up the craziest, busiest, wild quarter of my life 2020 style! After diligently staying home and “Covid-19 cleaning” for months and even celebrating my son’s high school graduation via a drive through ceremony, we departed home to drive Austin to college in Montana. On the drive, we enjoyed being out of the house for the first time in months. Along the way, we attended the socially distanced memorial service for my mother-in-law Lucille in Wyoming and enjoyed getting Austin settled into his dorm. Then our leisurely empty nest trip home turned south in a big way. My mom fell, and I ended up needing to fly to her from the road. This started a series of trips between Northern California and Southern California for me. During these trips, I helped her sort through everything in the house, was there when my stepfather Dan passed away, which prompted packing everything left and moving her back to Texas a week ago. One of these trips was extended “a while” due to the CZU Lighting Fire that had us evacuated from our home for 32 days. The house survived!! The fire line goes right up to our retaining wall 4 feet away from the house, only the gazebo was singed. So besides being on a first name basis with the TSA at SNA Airport…what’s next… cleaning the house again! It smells like the inside of a BBQ without mesquite due to all the ash. So if you find

yourself in the Santa Cruz Mountains, come grab a rag and I’ll have a cold Shiner ready for you. Greetings from Nashville! Doug Whitman shares “What’s going on? Oh...just a pandemic, social unrest, and an election. Although it’s been a crazy, crazy year, my family and I are healthy and doing well. I worked remotely from about mid-March until late-August, but I’ve been going into the office 2-3 times per week since then. I’m still working at a healthcare real estate company that owns physician office buildings across the country. While it’s been a brutal year for many types of real estate (hotels, malls, retail), I’m fortunate to be working for a company whose tenants (hospital outpatient departments and all sort of physicians) have generally fared well during the pandemic. My wife is a physician at Vanderbilt’s student health center, so she’s been treating COVID-19 patients since last March. We’re fortunate that both of our kids are in school and classes have been in-person. My daughter is a junior at Colby College in Maine and the school has had a very small number of COVID-19 cases. She was very happy to return to campus this fall! My son is a sophomore in high school, and he’s also been on campus taking classes since late August. Working at home has forced me to brush up on my IT skills. We’ve had to get better WiFi and a new computer to replace the seven year old “antique” that I’d been using. No more watching the spinning wheel!” I (Julie Templin Berman) agree it has been a crazy Covid-19 year! My daughter (Katherine ’18) is a junior at Washington & Lee University in Virginia and has returned to campus. My son Matthew ’25 is in 8th grade at Kinkaid. David and I celebrated our 28th anniversary this summer. I really enjoyed having our family back together but also grieved the loss of many plans and events over the past months! Bring on 2021! Helen Burt, Sergio, and I have been working hard to ensure Kinkaid has the most current contact information for everyone in our class! If you have moved recently or you are in the process of moving, please update Kinkaid with your new mailing address! Save the date for our 35th class reunion on April 17! More details soon! Keep the personal updates coming! Don’t you love reading them?! Take care! Julie

1988 John Semander Redondo Beach, CA cperiod@hotmail.com Yup, it’s official. I’ve never been more terrified to write something in my life. It’s only the third sentence, and I’ve already had to check my “Do Not Joke About” list five times. Ummm... okay, let’s proceed carefully. I’d like to start off by saying [POSSIBLY INSENSITIVE JOKE REDACTED BY AUTHOR] but I was afraid I would be [POTENTIALLY OFFENSIVE COMMENT REDACTED BY AUTHOR] by the Thought Police and then [DEFINITELY DIVISIVE POLITICAL STATEMENT REDACTED BY AUTHOR] just to wind up a viral YouTube sensation. Wait, can I use the word “viral” anymore? Hang on, I hear a knock at my door. Moving right along, the following is an exhaustive list of Kinkaidians whom I have physically seen faceto-face in the depressing entirety of 2020: 1) Maria Semander Crawford ’82, 2) JoAnna Semander Nicolaou ’84), and 3) Harriett Semander (Honorary Class of ’17). Which, it should be noted, is eerily similar to the list of ALL the people I physically saw this past year due to the viru – er, the thing, you know, uh... that beer we used to drink with a lime. Obviously, such an admission of antisocial behavior does not exactly inspire confidence that a very detailed update will be forthcoming but in my utter defense, I can’t imagine anybody else in my position faring much better, socially speaking – not when simply venturing outdoors in my home state of California was considered to be as irresponsible as throwing a keg party in Europe circa 1350. Alas, I could have had some fun and followed through with my “Class Election Recall Vote” idea, but in these politically charged times, I was concerned that [REST OF ENTIRE SUBMISSION REDACTED BY SUPER SCARY SHADOWY UNKNOWN GOVERNMENT ENTITY]. Post-Script: As fate would have it, I was actually able to meet up with a bunch of fellow ’88ers (plus a special guest 89’er) in Houston on the eve of this submission’s deadline. Everyone in attendance was given a stern warning that I had no substantive material for this installment and anything said within ear-shot of me would most definitely be held against them. Unfortunately, a common ailment associated with nights like this includes memory loss, so my original update has been left intact.

1989 Elizabeth Oxford Pagan Houston, TX elizabethpagan@me.com Hello Class of 1989! Thank you to those who wrote in this time. It is always a such a treat to hear from you and about you! Nicole Glanville Ederle: Our son Pierce is a senior at St. John’s, and we’re definitely going through the same craziness as far as college searches in the time of Covid-19. Daphne Nizza Shaw has a senior Brenda as well up at Trinity in Ft. Worth. It’s some comfort that we’re all going through all the emotions together! It’s exciting but bittersweet. Pierce’s younger brother Cameron is a sophomore at St. John’s, and their little sister Genevieve just started at St. John’s this year in 6th grade. Because they’re all together at the same school, we decided to move a little closer and should be in our new house in West U in a couple of months. I completed my three year term as a trustee on the St. Francis Board. One of my favorite parts of serving the community was working alongside fellow ’89ers Webb Jennings and Fred Brazelton. All three of our kids had wonderful years at St. Francis. It was sad to say goodbye, but we’ve been very happy with the boys’ experiences at St. John’s and know it will be a great fit for Gen. With the kids getting older, I’m looking to dust off my JD and get back into some type of part-time work. Still training and running. I ran the iconic Western States 100 miler in California last year (Squaw Valley to Auburn, CA)—this is like the Boston Marathon of 100s. It’s the original 100 miler. Two months later, I ran the Leadville 100 miler in honor of a friend who died in a military training accident on Mt. Massive (on the Leadville 100 course) 10 years before. I’m currently training for the USATF 100 mile trail championship (Dec 5-6) and a multi-day race called the Cocodona 250 (mile) through the Arizona high desert and mountains next May. Keith Gottlieb: A lot of changes have

happened while working in the vaccine industry this past year. A year ago, I was working for Vaxart, managing clinical laboratory testing for oral table vaccine candidates in influenza and norovirus. We completed the largest ever flu challenge study and successfully showed better results than the current flu vaccine. It was a challenging time for the company, so last summer I started a new job at Emergent BioSolutions, managing scientific operations for the clinical immunology group for the vaccines division. Flash forward and now vaccines and Emergent are at center stage, manufacturing COVID-19 vaccines for AstraZeneca/ Oxford, J&J, Novavax and Vaxart and developing and testing many other essential vaccines in areas of bioterrorism and travel health. Lynn Rothermel Neligan: No news here in Boston, other than it’s already sweater weather, and the pumpkins are out, and everyone is healthy and smiling. Bronwyn Burke Tilton: We have two sons at Memorial High School. Connor is in 10th grade and Burke is a Senior. Beth Young Young: I will leave the mundane to myself but my eldest Jack just started TCU this Fall. It has been super exciting even in amidst COVID-19 times. Fun fact: Mary Louise Rogers (Jennifer Deal Rogers’ daughter) is a freshman there too and they are good friends from Atlanta. Jen and I couldn’t be happier to go back to college together again. I know Bonnie Burch Ward has a daughter there too, so I’m hoping to run into her as well. Needless to say I’m ecstatic that my boy is back in my home state and he loves it! As for me, I am working with Kinkaid a lot this year volunteering for the Parents Association. It has been an interesting challenge for the volunteers to try and reimagine our PA events like Book Fair and Homecoming, but I have been so impressed with the creativity, positivity, patience and resilience that people have demonstrated. This is our last year as parents at Kinkaid, as Charlie ’21 is a senior. Go Class of 2021!! It is bittersweet, but our family is savoring every last second. Go Falcons!

Save the date for our 30th Reunion Weekend April 16 and 17, 2021. If you’re interested in helping plan the weekend, reach out to Elizabeth Litton Hogan, Courtney Marinis Swanson or Josh Zeller. Amalia Maislos Stanton and her husband Brian recently celebrated their 12year anniversary. Twins Sophia and Olivia (10) started 4th grade virtually with the hopes of returning in-person sometime mid-October. Amalia just celebrated a 14-year work anniversary at Memorial Hermann Health System where she is the Vice President of Marketing, and she was recently appointed to the Board and Executive Leadership Team of the March of Dimes. Bryan McMurrey (fs) is living in Austin and working as VP of Retail for CBRE. He has been married for 19 years to Shelby Wade from San Antonio. They have two children son Braedon (11) and daughter Blakeley (14). Bryan says “I love to play tennis, wakeboard and collect old classic Jeeps and Land Cruisers. I love my family and miss my Kinkaid friends.” Amy Mehta and her husband Ashi Parmar were married in 2017 and are living outside Philadelphia. She is working for Superior Energy managing ERP migrations and upgrades. Amy has started a new business as a dating coach and is a monthly contributor to an online magazine and other publications. Amy says that they “are doing our best to stay social as we continue to be at home a lot. Some days are easier than others!” Jennifer Roberdeau Cripe moved last summer to the Seattle area. “It seems everyone around me is aging, as my kids are now 13 and 15! As far as news though, there’s absolutely nothing to report, unless you want to hear about working from home, parenting, and spending way too many hours of togetherness...” Rebecca Brunson Flannery writes, “While 2020 has turned life upside down, for me it has been a gift. It takes something monumental to slow us down and require a shift. For me that turmoil began in 2016 with a diagnosis of Stage IV Appendix Cancer. That crazy year, we moved and changed career paths only to stop on a dime and begin a three year fight for my life. In February of 2020, the day that MD Anderson shut down, I received a great report. So, the inconveniences of our new normal along with college aged kids returning home in a matter of days was an opportunity. Not that cooking and cleaning all day every day for my husband, Will (20), Don (19) and Eloise (15) was a dream, but it gave me my family back. For more than three years, our kids would tip toe around and cautiously

avoid any situation that could rock the boat. With the good news from MDA and the shutdown of 2020, we received four months of family dinners, heated Pickle Ball and family tennis tournaments. We had many arguments over cleaning and “rules” for college kids who think they should have total freedom. We also built back relationships that had been broken. The most important lesson I have learned is to Flip the Narrative. While cancer is a horrible disease to live with, it has also made me realize what is important, why we have priorities and to live with purpose. Without the pandemic, our kids would never have learned how downtime and quiet days build creativity and beautiful relationships.”

1993 Courtney Dreyer Beauchamp San Antonio, TX courtbeauch@gmail.com Wendie Seale Childress Houston, TX wendiechildress@gmail.com Ashley Morgan Hanna Houston, TX ashleymhanna@gmail.com Well I must say what a heck of a last 7 months it’s been…when I was asked to collect all of my classmates updates, I was so curious to see what and how everyone has been getting by since March. From what I read from my peers below, thankfully it sounds like everyone is hanging in there…some even thriving during this time with the unexpected demands that Covid-19 brought. I mean who would have ever thought our country would basically shut down for a few months?? There’s that saying - “Change is the one constant in this world” - I would definitely say


C L A S S

that is an understatement these days! I hope everyone is doing well - I am still in San Antonio running my store The Tiny Finch which somehow has survived this pandemic thanks to our website - www.thetinyfinch. com. My husband of 17 years (when did that happen???) John, is doing well & helping me as we parent our two girls - Emily about to turn 15 and Grace 13 - I gotta tell ya - raising two teenage girls during this time has been interesting! Take care of yourselves - Courtney Dreyer Beauchamp Catherine Fowler McDonald reports, “All of us are going strong in the McDonald (Fowler) house. My son just turned 16 and is a sophomore at boarding school in Virginia. I just started my first year of graduate school at age 45! I’m going to get my MSW so I can continue to work with the homeless and the permanent supportive housing. Mack and Cece are alive and well. We are feeling very blessed to be happy and healthy. Sending love to you and your family!” Kathryn Thompson Maxwell says, “Our news is that my family and I (husband Tom, son Tommy (11) and daughter Parker (9)) have returned back to Washington, DC. We were living in Charlotte for the past year while my husband was working as the CFO for the 2020 Republican National Convention. There were lots of twists and turns with the convention but we enjoyed getting to know a new city and living in the South. But we are so very happy to be back in DC! Wishing all Falcons well and hope everyone is staying safe and healthy!!” Kimberly Harvin Bryant and her family have lived in the Bay Area for three years now. Her husband Todd is the rector of St. Timothy’s Episcopal Church in Danville. Kimberly has been overseeing their three kids in remote learning. Lauren is in 9th grade. Carter is in 7th grade. Andrew is in 5th grade. “It’s been interesting,” Kimberly says, “Everyone looks forward to hopefully going back to school in January. Fingers crossed!” The Bryants had the privilege of fostering an unaccompanied refugee minor from Guatemala through the spring and summer. All those years of Spanish at Kinkaid got put to good use! Kimberly and all four kids spent two months at her parents’ house in Wyoming this summer with the sister-in-laws and their kids. SIL Molly Brock Harvin ’99 with daughters Natalie ’25 and Eloise ’27. SIL Sheri Harvin with Kacey, Maddie and Allison. Kimberly’s husband Todd and brothers - Billy ’97 and John ’99 escaped work to spend time with the family too. Briton Kolber says, “I’m doing pretty great here in Seattle. Hanging out with Alex Alviar sometimes here, too.

My kids hate online school with a vigorous passion, but we’ve built a TON of great blanket forts. Psychotherapy seems to do just fine as a job with Telehealth,no murder hornets actually seen and nobody in my immediate circle has been taken out by the plague. I even wrote and performed in some edgy sketch comedy on mansplaining and white privilege that didn’t get me murdered; people also laughed in the right places so that’s a win. I’m grateful for the background in critical thinking that we got from our school. Best to you all.” Jay Villarreal reports, “I recently joined Toeppich & Associates, PLLC, a Houston oil and gas law firm, where my practice primarily focuses on the preparation of title opinions and due diligence for acquisitions and divestitures. My son Aidan ’23 (15) just started his sophomore year at Kinkaid and is on the JV football team. He also just got his learner’s permit... so if you’re still in the neighborhood... watch out! My son Wylie (4) is in P-2 at Fay. Wylie wants to be lead singer in a Rock band... so I’ve been learning how to play the piano / keyboard in my free time.” Michelle Cashman Gaunt co-authored a rom-com, Wrong Guy, Right Room, under the pen name Michelle Angelle with a fellow freelance writer and very good friend. She had a blast writing it and says that it has been a wonderful distraction during COVID-19. They plan to keep writing together, so she should have more good news to share next year. Brian McMackin says, “Kristen and I have basically been working from home since March. The one benefit of this situation is that we were able to spend the entire summer away from Houston. Will ’24 is a freshman and Lauren ’25 is an 8th grader at Kinkaid. We are hoping they get back in the classroom full time soon. Jay is in 3rd grade at ROBS and having a great time. Not sure what the “new normal” will be, but I am sure it will be interesting.” Stacy Paulson just started her 20th year owning an interior design and buildfirm in Austin (www.stacypaulson. com). She says, “We are SWAMPED during the pandemic. Everyone wants to remodel, add-on, and get new furniture. I haven’t had five minutes to stress about anything besides work. Things are rocking right along. Heading out for my first trip since the pandemic started. Hoping Grand Teton National Park will get the creative juices flowing again for a busy fall/winter.” Darren Chapman reports, “My solo urology practice Pearland Urology is going well. Covid-19 did cause a bit of a slowdown but since my niche is

vasectomies, I was not affected too greatly. In fact, with everyone spending more time at home, I think my vasectomy numbers actually went up! My two daughters Kacey and Jackie are happy to be back to school at St. John’s. Sophomore Kacey will turn 16 soon, so I’m sure my stress levels and insurance rates will both rise. 8th grader Jackie was sad to see last year’s track season cancelled, as she leads the girls’ throwing team and wasn’t able to add to her collection of trophies and ribbons. This year hopefully she will be able to get back out on the field. Thankfully, we’ve all managed to stay in good health, and I hope everyone else in our class has as well.” Charlotte Broussard says, “Davis and I are surviving in LA by going to the beach and taking lots of hikes. Thankfully for us both, preschool is on and the demand for veterinary medicine is high. Covid-19 has affected so many lives that we are thankful to be healthy and safe at this time.” Victoria Windham Wind says, “Howdy! The Wind Family is doing well. Last November after 15 years in growth-boom Frisco, TX, we moved to Prosper, TX. It’s a smaller community with a slower pace about 15 miles north. Just as we were getting settled in with schools and daily routines, COVID-19 quarantine struck while we were on spring break at our country place in East Texas. So we decided to stay put and ride it out until Texas society opened back up, thinking it’d only be a couple of weeks or so of family fun in the country, no problem. I mean, we can teach 1st and 5th grade, run a corporate team, make everyone lunch, manage a household, shoot a feral hog out back, mow the back 40 and still look good for my Zoom happy hours. I got this! ...65 days of isolation, I mean, family bonding and the rest of the virtual school semester later, we emerged COVID-free and moved back to town into what was still pretty much our new house. Summer was fairly good to us despite all the social disruptions: Charlotte (7) went to three weeks of camp at Camp Honey Creek in Hunt and Trip (11) had a short but busy baseball season with his team. And then they both started school in mid-August on-time and in-person at our local ISD in 2nd grade and 6th grade respectively. As of this update, no cases at their schools thankfully. Other than that, professionally we’re humming along and working from home: for the last two years I’ve been managing an innovation team for Grant Thornton, LLP, and Martin is expanding his business ViralMD, a healthcare-focused digital marketing company. We are hoping to get back

to regular Houston and Austin visits to see family and friends as soon as possible! Miss y’all!” Nina Bianchi Skinner continues to work in M&A and other business transactions. She has three children ages 8-12 and their family usually keeps busy with kids soccer games or weekend fishing in Port O’Connor. Covid-19 has been a challenge but also a blessing with good family time and less travel for work. Hope everyone is doing great! Lauren Dunwoody Collins reports, “As for an update with the Collins clan – we had a great summer, spent a lot of time at my family’s ranch north of Houston and also on Fishers Island which helped to shake off the quarantine blues. My interior design business is going well. The kids are older and can ride their bikes everywhere, so we are really enjoying small town CT life at the beach (although we miss family in Houston a lot!).” Shannon Gregg Hillegeist and her husband Clark welcomed their daughter Katharine Meade Hillegeist to the world on December 31, 2019! They are completely smitten and thankful to have such a wonderful distraction during these unusual times. When not strolling through the ‘hood, swimming at Honey & Pops’ or snapping an obscene amount of pictures of Katharine, Shannon continues to volunteer and fundraise for MD Anderson’s Advanced Breast Cancer Program (the “ABC Program”). Shannon is confident that the ABC Program will enhance and extend the lives of metastatic breast cancer patients like her and hopes that advancements made by the ABC Program will lead to a cure for advanced stage breast cancer. Beverly Barrett is faculty in International Economics at the Cameron School of Business at the University of St. Thomas, Houston. In the past two years, periodically she has been visiting faculty in Puebla, Mexico at Universidad de las Americas Puebla (UDLAP). She likes playing tennis, biking, walking and traveling whenever possible. Ashley Morgan Hanna says, “I don’t have too much to report. Michael and I returned to Houston after spending our six month Spring Break in Galveston with our kids William ’28 (5th grade) and Catherine ’29 (4th grade), and are now slowly getting back into the swing of things with school, sports, etc. Professionally, I continue to practice law through my solo practice where I focus on corporate and nonprofit transactions.” Wendie Seale Childress reports, “After 17 years of practicing commercial litigation at Yetter Coleman in Houston, last year I accepted a position at Validity Finance as Portfolio

Counsel. Validity is a commercial litigation finance company that provides non-recourse financing for large commercial cases with an emphasis on fairness and transparency. The company is comprised almost entirely of former trial lawyers from top US firms and is based in New York with offices throughout the US including Texas. Wendie’s husband Matthew continues to work at PwC where he leads Business Development for the greater Texas market. Their kids, Chloe ’25 (14) and Jack ’28 (10) are both Falcons and excited to be back in school in 8th and 5th Grade.” Noa Tal Ashman is still living and working in the DC area as a therapist in private practice in Bethesda, MD where she treats adults in individual, couple and family psychotherapy. She completely transitioned her practice virtually overnight in March when the pandemic struck and has been busier than ever attending to the existential needs of the community! In between sessions, she is helping her kids with virtual school and trying to stay fit with Peloton and Zoom barre class. When summer travel plans to Europe were derailed, she doubled down on her former culinary arts degree and set about method baking to craft the perfect sourdough loaf. She’s also rekindled the meditative art of knitting and finished a king size, lace blanket: it took nine years and five months in quarantine to complete but it’s DONE. Now her kids are debating which one gets to take it to college and have concluded she should get to work making a second blanket - it’s only fair, Mom!!! Christina Ponig Maccio joined the Houston office of Orrick as a litigation partner in mid-February 2020 right before lockdowns began. Like everyone else, she and her husband Sudan have been navigating work from home as the new normal. Their daughter Gabriela is loving being a senior at St. John XXIII College Preparatory and is about to embark on college applications. Their son Daniel is a sophomore at Cornell University in Ithaca, NY. For part of her free time, which is more abundant these days, Christina spends her time searching for life-sized stuffed animals for Shannon Gregg Hillegeist’s daughter Katharine and believes she will have assembled a small farm at the Hillegeist residence by year’s end. Shannon and Clark could not be more thrilled. No really. Mark Dannenbaum writes, “Anyway doing the same old thing....raising two goofballs age 15 and 13.

So the current times are bananas! My office is on Heights Boulevard and I would be happy to reconnect with any Kinkaid friends! I am married to Michael Jensen. He is from Denmark and works as a software engineer for PROS, Inc. We have a daughter Mattie who will be 3 in January and starting Pooh Corner in the Fall of 2021.” Michael Sprung shares, “Keri and I are doing well. She is now also a student at Rice for an executive MBA and continuing at The Texas Heart Institute (THI) as Director of Communications. I am practicing real estate in Houston with EXP Realty and working on Sales for EnviroEye – drain guard systems for bulk storage assets. Also I am teaching aikido judo and jyodo at Karl Geis Ryu and I practice yoga now every day. This health crisis has been tough on so many people. We send our well wishes to everyone.”

Safe from the fires but often trapped indoors from the smoke the Krischers are faring well, but it’s been an interesting year to say the least. Lindsay Wadler Hyman shares, “My family is doing well. I recently celebrated my 20-year work anniversary at

Accenture in Houston. Our kids Kate ’25 and William ’28 are in 8th and 5th grade at Kinkaid, hard to believe we have two middle schoolers. I am amazed that Kate has two teachers that were my teachers as well when I was in 8th grade – Mr. Peden and Mrs. McMillan!” Brian Ross reports, “Despite all the craziness this year, not much has changed. Mostly keeping busy with our 12 year old and 10 year old. Still practicing law at Gibbs & Bruns (Sam Cruse is one of my partners). One thing that might be worth mentioning is that for the last few years I have been serving on the board of the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (Texas Gulf Coast Chapter) which is always working hard to cure blood cancers. If anyone in our class would like to get involved or know more about LLS, they can feel free to reach out to me! btr@briantross.com Carvana Hicks Cloud says, “After an exciting campaign for Harris County District Attorney, Carvana continues to advocate for public safety and violence prevention through her efforts with Community Empowerment Solutions of Texas (CES).

My boys are in school at Kinkaid and love being back on campus in person and playing sports again. We adopted an adorable but slightly insane pug who brings us much joy. Our family has been taking advantage of the WFH life to spend more time working in the fresh air of Colorado.” Kathleen Dunwoody Graf says, “During a weak quarantine moment, we decided to get our first dog. His name is Zeus! Other than that, I just want to wish all my classmates well. I am looking forward to reconnecting at our reunion when we finally put COVID-19 behind us. In the meantime, stay healthy and stay sane.” Rachel Applegate reports, “As for me, I’m still at the Alley Theatre - though we’re not doing much in person theatre these days. Like most of us, my industry shut down on March 12 and we’ve been closed ever since. My job as Director of Marketing and Communications has taken on a new look since I’m not pushing

tickets anymore. Instead, along with the rest of the Alley staff, I’ve shifted to working on digital productions and pivoting to new models of doing business. So I’m now a video producer, editor, marketer and social media maven. It’s been exciting to expand my horizons and knowledge base. But I’m really ready to get back to doing what I do best - supporting and marketing live theatre. Of course, I’ll wait until it’s safe for all of us to be together again in the theatre, sharing dramatic moments, followed by a boisterous standing ovation. I’ll be first in line to buy a ticket when that day comes.” Laura Lawhon Evans and her family have been in Austin for over two years now. She is an architect and is Associate Principal at Abel Design Group, heading up the Austin office. Laura has been able to work on some really cool tech projects in Austin including Adobe’s and Shiseido’s offices. Laura and her husband Rian managed to secure some paddle boards for spring quarantine and spent much time out on Lake Austin and looking for hidden state parks in the hill country, while her 3 boys Vinson (13), Peter (11) and Drew (9) spent as much time as possible in front of the Xbox mastering whatever is needed for that. Michael Kuntz says, “My wife Jennifer and I are back in the states with our six month and 3 year old daughters Georgia Zuri and Hattie Paloma. We came back from Tanzania for the birth of Georgia and Covid-19 grounded us here, in Wilmington, NC near the in-laws for the time being. All are healthy and happy, feeling relatively blessed given the circumstances.” Paul McDannald reports, “I moved from Houston to Maryland in summer 2019. I work at a lighting rep firm in Baltimore as a quotations analyst. I have been social media free for a few years now which has been especially beneficial during this pandemic. I am hoping to be able to work from somewhere besides my apartment by 2022.” Parker Stanberry continues to live in Miami, running his hospitality company Oasis Collections which is now 11 years old. Though his passion for travel has been mostly put on hold in 2020, he is grateful to have been able to make an amazing trip to Wyoming and Montana and another to see family and friends on a recent visit to Houston. Clay Hackerman shares, “Overall things are good. I’ve had to adjust to several new safety protocols and wear an N95 when dealing with patients in most cases, but I’m happy to be able to go to work everyday and pretty much function the same as before. I miss working out in the Judo and


C L A S S

Jiu-Jitsu gyms but hopefully will be able to resume these activities someday. I do seem to be getting better at playing guitar for some reason which is nice. Grace and the girls Isabelle (8) and Lilly (4) are all doing well and generally remain at home during virtual school days.” Katherine Howe says, “My life summarizes thusly: tomorrow my son Charles turns 1, which is astonishing, this summer my novel The Daughters of Temperance Hobbs came out in paperback and after many months of not being productive at all while hiding out from a pandemic with a baby I’m finally about halfway through the next book, which is a nonfiction project being co-written with Anderson Cooper, probably to publish in 2022. I hope everyone is staying healthy and as sane as possible. This year has really packed about eleven years into one.” Kathryn McCarter Moore is still working as a social worker at the VA. She spent the summer/fall helping her husband’s campaign for County Commissioner! She’s also a consultant for Scout & Cellar clean-crafted wine (scoutandcellar.com/kathrynmoore). Her daughters Margaret (3) and Mary Helen (4) are best friends and tons of fun! Artie Johnson shares, “I enjoy making really good wine that people can enjoy with friends and family. Recently I’ve gotten back in the kitchen and making recipes that I’ve learned at all of my former restaurants over the years. Most importantly, I love spending time with my wife and kids. Prioritizing my family in a very busy and changing world.” Kelly Kepper Devlin and Eric Devlin have two daughters Haley and Riley as well as a golden retriever Ranger and cat Belle. Haley is a sophomore at Houston Christian High School and is a member of the Silver Spurs drill team. They are looking forward to the homecoming game when they play Kinkaid! Riley is in 5th grade at Wilchester Elementary. Both girls are active in dance and musical theater, so they go to a lot of performances every year! Eric still runs his digital forensic business Lone Star Forensic Group and does some work as a criminal defense attorney as well as consults on the Oxygen network show, Cold Justice. Kelly started her 13th year as a preschool teacher. Their lives are about to change in December when Haley turns 16 and gets her driver’s license! Mary McFall Groves reports, “My business partner Alex Press (married to Bobby Stillwell ’96) and I started our interior design company SG Interior Design in 2019. We have enjoyed working on projects for former classmates!” Aisha Carter Crumbine is the VP of

Development at Teach For America Houston. She’s raising funds so more children have access to the quality of education we received at Kinkaid. Hit her up if you want to learn more. She is also Certified Facilitator of Brené Brown’s Dare to Lead (TM) work and hopes to move into coaching full time soon. Robert Lemus shares, “I have enjoyed hanging out (via Zoom) with some of my old Kinkaid friends like JJ Johnston, Jack Massey (fs), Justin Lake, Tim Lake ’92, Tannie Pizzitola ’92 and Bryan Guilliams ’92 during these strange times. I have also enjoyed having my daughters all at the same school and interacting with the fellow class parents. Recently I have picked up the mandolin. I have also enjoyed cooking with my daughters. Most importantly, I love being able to spend time with my daughters Morgana ’29 (4th grade), Alexandra ’33 (1st grade) and Elesha ’32 (Kindergarten), my wife and my brother Christopher ’83.” Sarah Willcox Swigert reports, “We’re keeping our heads up here in Brooklyn while feeling the world is spinning upside down. We’re healthy, generally sane and otherwise juggling work, “school” and the inanities of today. I do want to give a shout out to Stuart Pielop’s wife Nikki who took time out of her day recently to give me incredibly helpful advice on the phone - all while Houston was flooding, their kids were home from school and I’m sure she had a full work inbox. I haven’t even met Nikki in person but can say from this that the Kinkaid connection holds strong. Meg Penrose Miller says, “I’m enjoying having my teenagers Cody and Lucas home doing remote learning! My oldest Jackson has just started at OU which is difficult and different during this time of Covid-19, but it’s so fun hearing his tales from college. I’m also really loving that my family is doing regular biweekly Facetime calls with my 76 year-old dad, my sister in NYC and my other sister in SLC. Quarantine has had its challenges but this has been a silver lining!” Kate Marinis Walters shares, “I am enjoying having my 3 boys at Kinkaid - one in lower, middle and high school. I hope everyone stays healthy during these crazy times.” JJ Johnston has more or less spent the last six months inside at his parents’ house. In July, he was excited to be “uncled” for a second time when his sister Jessica gave birth to her second child, a boy named Philip Kelly Walsh. Classical Theatre Company has been reduced to a skeletal operation in an effort to survive the pandemic and inability to produce any of its artistic and educational programming. If you would

like to support CTC with a tax-deductible donation, you can give directly through its website at www.classicaltheatre.org John Barksdale reports, “We are still in Austin and love it here. I’m still working in commercial real estate at CBRE and Gillian is teaching yoga at Castle Hill Fitness. Johnny (10) and Isla (8) love to play soccer, Johnny enjoys baseball and they both love to ride mountain bikes. We spent time in San Diego and Telluride over the summer. Thinking about getting back into bee keeping so hopefully we’ll have some Barksdale Bees Honey to share in 2021.” Jeff Jeter says, “I am still working at UT Arlington – as VP of Government Relations where I work with UT System, Federal and congressional delegations and UT Arlington leadership. YAY. Most of my free time is spent with my amazing daughter Allie (10) who is in 5th grade. This summer was pretty much in Austin, although we plan to make our annual trips to Santa Fe and Sedona by the end of the year. We still get to Houston every so often for Allison to see her cousins, kids of Jonathan ’97, and my mother who both still live there. Jonathan, while trying to get his masters from UT Dallas, just started as the Executive Director of Triple Seven Ranch in Houston, a residential treatment center for adolescents. My baby brother James ’98 and his wife still live a few blocks from me in Austin, where James works in the oil and gas sector with Equinor and is planning on working on his masters this spring at LSU. As a family – we are working on opening a company that specializes in alcohol infused pancake batter products….it’s gonna be a huge hit!” Greg Tevis shares, “I enjoy advising and executing on business transformations in the telecom, technology and media industries. Recently I have been trying to teach my two boys to play much better golf than I did at their age. I love to spend more purposeful and uninterrupted time with my wife, family and friends given I am on planes much less right now. I live in Dallas.”

From Kinkaid to Hollywood: Two Intertwining Journeys

U

pon graduating from Kinkaid, Reagor Wagnon ’16 headed to the University of Southern California (USC) and decided to pursue a career in the entertainment industry. When family friend and former Kinkaid parent, Larry Taylor, learned Reagor was seeking an internship in LA, Larry connected Reagor with Campfire founder and CEO, Ross Dinerstein ’97. Ross has produced or executive produced 40+ series and feature films, premiering projects at the most prestigious festivals in the world including Sundance, SXSW, Tribeca and Toronto. His premium production company offers a broad bench of content across scripted and unscripted, for both feature film and TV/ streaming platforms. In January 2019, Ross hired Reagor to intern at Campfire. Ross observed how quickly Reagor fit in with the production team’s fast-paced production environment. “He had what it takes,” Ross says, “It can be a little sink or swim. Some interns don’t show up the next day.” But Reagor showed up for day two and went on to intern for the entire spring semester of his junior year and the fall semester of his senior year. Reagor’s experiences at Campfire taught him how to be a good multitasker and “stay on (his) toes” as he was tasked with a wide range of projects ranging from editing to inventory. He appreciated every team member’s willingness to share their expertise and knowledge of the industry. Reagor credits Campfire team member, Sonja Roth, with directly influencing his plans after graduation. She noticed his interest in intellectual property and encouraged him to pursue that field of law as it relates to the entertainment industry. Reagor took that advice to heart. One year later, he is in the process of applying to law school for Fall 2021. Following his time in law school – ideally in LA – Reagor hopes to practice intellectual property or entertainment law. He also hopes to utilize his love for writing by writing for film or television scripts.

Reagor Wagnon ’16

Although 20 years separate Ross’ and Reagor’s time at Kinkaid, both credit the School for their writing skills and preparing them to pursue the entertainment industry. “Kinkaid taught me how to read and write in a correct way. Everything that I do comes from that skill,” Ross says. Ross has always been interested in telling stories. He still recalls winning the 4th Grade English Award. (His prize, a copy of The Prince and the Pauper by Mark Twain, is still proudly displayed in his bookcase.) That love for storytelling led him to study film in college. Looking back, he believes the confidence that he developed at Kinkaid was integral to his success in Hollywood. Reagor reflects on what inspired him to pursue this industry. Ultimately, he says, “It was the teachers who ignited in me an intellectual curiosity and encouraged me to seek what I was passionate about and go chase it.” His 11th grade English teacher Carolyn McCarthy,

Ross Dinerstein ’97

creative writing teacher Angélique Jamail and advisor Casey Fleming are among those teachers who he credits with pushing him to chase his Hollywood dreams. Reagor expresses his deep gratitude to those along the way who have guided his path. He calls the network and community that Kinkaid has cultivated “spectacular”. Kinkaid alumni (Ross), parents (Laura and Larry Taylor) and teachers (Ms. McCarthy, Ms. Jamail, Ms. Fleming) have all played a role in his story. Ross shares that same appreciation, not only for Kinkaid, but for those who have gone before him in the industry and especially for those who have taken time to impact his career path: “There is no roadmap for our business. So many people were willing to sit down with me early in my career. Without that, I wouldn’t be able to get to the level that I’m at. And I always remember that.” Ross has enjoyed being able to pay it forward to Reagor.

He and his wife Erin ’04 are enjoying all the adventures of their young children— Brooke (4), Avery (3) and Chase (3 months). Steven has begun his fourteenth year as an in-house attorney for Plains All American Pipeline, L.P.

Ian and Michelle are enjoying getting to learn the new languages while making new friends, and Andrew has continued having fun designing Linux architecture from the new time zone. Andrew completed his master’s in information assurance last year, and is now looking at picking up an MBA from Universität zu Köln while his family is in the neighborhood. Other than that, the weather is wonderful; the cycling is plentiful, and he is quite enjoying the opportunity to wander around Europe for a few years.

Erika Mandel and her family are doing well. Both Erika and Jed have joined the family business of 45 years,

Creative Blinds, and are having a blast reinventing it while keeping the values of yesteryear. Their children Jack (6), Max (5) and Sonny (2) are all doing well and have spent a lot of quality time together being mischievous little boys! John McInnes had a great summer and took full advantage of the WFH conditions. He is still with Motiva working on the crude oil trading and strategy side. While he and Deborah had lofty initial goals of home schooling their kids in multiple languages, code writing, wilderness survival and advanced physics, they settled for the more docile activity of travelling and swimming. They knocked out some good old Texas road trips before the weather became too brutal, and then Oregon Trailed it to . . . Oregon! They are all doing great, and the kids – Mollie ’30 (8), Annie Cate ’32 (7), Forrest ’34 (5) and Banks (3)— are back to a normal routine of sorts. They are looking forward to seeing everyone soon. Tobin O’Donnell and his wife Heidi have been staying busy and have taken some fun road trips with their kids. Their daughter Lawson is in 5th grade and their son Hudson is in 4th grade. Shahid Rahman and his wife Amina are enjoying living in West University in Houston where they have the pleasure of seeing lots of our classmates in the neighborhood!

it has been a great change of pace and enables her to focus on her family and friends. These days, she spends a lot of time at home (as she imagines most do!) with her husband Stephen and their two sweet boys Noah (9) who is in 3rd grade, loves school, tennis, writing, art and his friends, and Brandon (3) who is incredibly adorable, funny and highly energetic. This summer, she and Stephen were fortunate to be able to sell their current home of ten years in Coral Gables (Miami) and purchase a new (to them) home in an area called North Pinecrest (Miami), about five minutes from where they currently live. It is an older home that has a lot more space, is on a larger piece of land and they are currently in the process of renovating it. It has an amazing layout, lots of character, cool architectural details, and it has been a fun, albeit large project that they plan to do in a few phases. They are excited to hopefully move into it soon, to have more space for their boys to play outside, to safely socialize with friends and family, to have fun BBQs and relaxing outdoor dinners and to start the next chapter of their life. Keren Blankfeld Schultz and her husband Jonathan just welcomed their son Samuel, born amid the pandemic in Texas. Older brother Rafael, born in New York, will turn two in December. In between diaper changes, Karen is working on her first book, which expands on an article that she wrote for The New York Times last December entitled “Lovers in Auschwitz”. Michele Soefer Shapiro and her family are continuing to enjoy life in Woodland Hills, CA. They took their two little boys Simon and Eli on a cross-country road trip this summer starting in LA and visiting Rockport, Chicago, Vail and Zion National Park in Utah along the way. Angela Sellin Strain and her husband Matt are surviving virtual school, although they report they are much better TAs than they are teachers. Angela has continued leading the Psychiatry Emergency Services at UNC Chapel Hill, and Matt has joined the Board of Directors at the National At-Home Dad Network and has been instrumental in developing their first convention. Layla Zafarnia Vela is working at SMU, leading marketing efforts at the Cox School of Business. All is well with her family. She and Kevin will celebrate their 12th wedding anniversary in November. He continues to grow and expand his law practice, and their children Ariana (4th grade) and Arman (2nd grade) are so happy to be back in school.

Jill Case is living in Austin and loving it. She was recently brought on as the VP of Managed Aircraft Sales for Executive Jet Management, a subsidiary of NetJets Inc. As for me, Amy Parker Beeson, my husband Michael and I are busy raising our three little boys Teddy (5), Jack (4) and George (4) and trying to keep them out of trouble. I moved my litigation practice to Beck Redden LLP this past March and have really been enjoying it. I recently joined the board of the Greater Houston Chapter of the March of Dimes, an organization I have been passionate about ever since our twins’ early arrival. Thank you to everyone for writing. I hope our next round of updates finds us all well and out of the house!

was put on hold (like pretty much everything) thanks to The Roni!” Iman Houston Farrior and family have weathered the COVID-19 storm relatively well in Los Angeles. Her four kids are enjoying their 8th straight month of remote learning so much that they’ve declared that they see no reason to ever go back to school. James and Iman, on the other hand, can think of a few reasons. On the bright side, she’s making the most of all of this extra family time in addition to her real day job and her new job as an under qualified Teacher’s Assistant. Iman recently got promoted to Head of Transaction Operations at a pre-IPO Series F startup, Compass, and is looking forward to being able to travel again soon! Kate McCormick Heinzer is still working for Salesforce and lives in Austin with her husband Andy and their two boys Alex (4) and Sam (2). She encourages them all to take long walks as often as possible. Jonathan Fischer shares, “The biggest impact for me in 2020 has been getting married! My wife Kristen Ziegler and I made it official in the middle of the pandemic - a small ceremony at our home in Richmond, VA. And by small, I mean just the two of us and the officiant. Other than that, I’ve been lucky enough to be working from home and will continue to do so through at least January 2021...” Michael Gucwa is learning how to do everything from home (work, exercise, school) and teaching his daughter how to play online games after mostly avoiding screen time. Louise Frank Pennebaker just gave birth to her fourth boy. 2020 has been a lot of family togetherness, online learning and a new baby. Hayley Dickson says, “Howdy to all my old friends. I miss you all! Excited for our 20th reunion. BIG year for the Dickson/Dorin household as after 13 years of hustle, we are moving into our DREAM HOME in the mountains of Malibu on October 21! In other exciting news, I was named one of the most “Influential Wealth Managers in Los Angeles for 2020”, and I survived and thrived on a solo 1:1 trip with my Mama...long overdue!! Love to all you fellow Falcons. GET ready to RAGE next year. Party bus?!” Sarah Lucas reports, “Robert and I had a baby boy during lockdown, Lawrence Lucas Lamb! We are still professors in the Politics Department in Exeter, UK.” Chris Carlberg shares, “Firstly, everyone in my immediate world is healthy... but what a year. In February, my fiancée and I both quit our jobs to move from Minneapolis to San Francisco. Sarah was to start a new museum job at Stanford in April. But

then everything shut down. And the offer was rescinded. And we had to awkwardly ask for our old jobs back, which miraculously worked out. We were also supposed to get married this summer! Ugh. That didn’t happen either. We’ll now be getting married (fingers crossed) next summer in Michigan. Meanwhile, Sarah and I moved out of our home in Minneapolis a few weeks ago and have started a four to five month long working road trip. Michigan, Texas, New Mexico, Colorado, Utah, Wyoming, Montana, South Dakota, Ohio, Louisiana are all on the agenda. It’s been a blast so far. Hope everyone else is doing well!” Alyson Weaver Nicholas is married with two kids August (4) and Rosy (2). She is working as a screenwriter and just moved into a new home in Santa Monica, CA. Sarah Herder Nathan says, “We have spent most of 2020 quarantining in our camper van and were able to cover >25,000 miles and 29 states! Up next, my husband and I are looking forward to moving to Okinawa, Japan, where we will be working for DoD.” Eileen Jones shares, “Yeah, 2020... Not totally sure how to sum it up! But for all the insanity and unpredictability, the year has luckily been really good to us. I’m currently writing an original movie for New Line and am a writer/ producer on Prodigal Son on FOX, and I’m sending this from a hotel room in North Carolina, where my husband and I (and our pup Hank!) have been living while he shoots his next thing. All good here - we’re just focusing on work, staying healthy and rooting for my old boss Joe!!” Andrew Alexander reports, “I joined the United States Air Force and graduated on October 1, 2020. I decided protecting my fellow citizens and especially my Kinkaid classmates is more rewarding than sitting in an office waiting to get to go home. I’m currently training at an undisclosed location.” Kavita Rao shares, “I have been focusing on education of the next generation of dancers since TV, film and event productions are shut down. Starting a new company to aspire artists through an online seminar called Spark. Trying to stay politically and socially active and spending time with my new hubby.” Stacy Soefer Gomar is enjoying her crazy life as mom and stepmom and all the adventures that come our way. Bruno is pure sunshine and always keeping her on her toes! Walker Averitt Qualman reports, “Despite the pandemic, 2020 has been the best year of my life. I got engaged and married to Robert Qualman! We bought a house and

renovated it during the shutdown. It’s been an amazing year for us. I’m still working as a Realtor for Better Homes and Gardens Gary Greene.” Bruce Bilger shares, “Jennifer and I are enjoying life in Houston and spending plenty of time with family and friends.

Lindsey Boyd Hunt and family are happy and healthy in Clear Lake. Henley (3) has a strong desire to learn to drive and Lindsey started a new job at Clear Creek Independent School District. Katherine Tropoli Plumb shares, “I made Partner at Deloitte a year ago and have been settling into my new job as principal of my children’s virtual school - luckily they go back to school in a week so I can retire from education (hopefully!). John and I ran away to Colorado for a long weekend in early October to find some fall weather and are enjoying watching our children play fall ball.” Kameron Averitt Swithin reports, “In March, I transitioned to working part time as VP of Risk Management for our non-profit corporation Outdoor Adventures, which mentors fatherless teenage boys across the nation. You would think the lockdown would mean cancelling our programming for the year; however, we worked harder than ever before and ran many events this summer consisting of only 10 people per event, complying with the law every step of the way. If you are interested in partnering with us, check us out at www. outdooradventures.org.” Alan Falik has three kids Claire ’32 (6), Martha ’34 (4) and Wells (2) who are keeping them busy, and everyone is doing great and enjoying a lot of family time! Todd Moore says, “2020 has been an interesting year but the one positive takeaway is that it has brought our family closer and I am thankful for that. Our eldest daughter Ella ’34 started Pre-K at Kinkaid this year, and she is loving it. I am still working in real estate investments and looking forward to 2021!” Michael Petranek has been spending quarantine with his wife Julia and son Henry (1.5) in Bay Ridge, Brooklyn. This year he started a new position at Scholastic as Executive Editor, Manager Graphix Media & AFK. Mike Constantiner shares, “Launched a new company called Matthew. It’s a travel app that helps you find yoga studios. COVID-19 got me and my family stuck in Southern California.

Welcomed a new baby girl in July. Her name is Lillie and she’s pretty awesome. My son Mikey is awesome too, but don’t tell him I said that because it will probably mess with his ego.” Grace Cho reports, “What a year it’s been. I feel fortunate that my family and I have been able to stay secure and healthy during a year that has been so challenging for so many people. Late 2019, I left my long-time position at 20th Century Fox and have been busy growing my career navigation tech startup Gladeo (which I cofounded with my sister Michelle ’98). Being an entrepreneur brings so many challenges, but I feel lucky every day that we are helping people find hope for their futures, access higher-paying and more fulfilling careers and build better lives for themselves and their families.” Phillip Winfrey says, “The spring of 2020 found us ‘homeschooling’ (very loose quotes) on the rivers of the western slope of the Rockies and canyons of the Colorado plateau. Summer was pretty much an extension of the fun. The kids took it in stride when they had to go back to school in the fall. Thoughts and prayers go out to all those who have had struggles through these times.” Robin Clarkson shares, “In December 2019, I accepted a transfer from my company in Houston to our parent company’s home office in Switzerland. It took some effort, but I managed to pull off an international move during the pandemic and have been living in Geneva with my son since August. We miss Houston, and Jack was sorry to leave Kinkaid, but it’s been wonderful living in such a beautiful city so close to the Alps!” Tyler Scharar reports, “I was selected for promotion to Commander in the US Navy and assumed duties as Chief Staff Officer of First Naval Construction Regiment in Port Hueneme, CA, where I live with my wife and twin 3 year-old girls.” Laura Stephenson says, “We’ve been doing fine in London and are expecting a little girl in January!”

Julia Camp ’14 Writing Her Own Path

I

n 2010, Julia Camp ’14 entered 9th grade at Kinkaid and hit the ground running – literally. She quickly became a top threesport athlete, a star English student and a member of the band.

Julia was on the Varsity Cross Country, Soccer and Track teams all four years of high school, serving as team captain of all three sports her senior year. Her twin brother Brian attended Strake Jesuit. Julia then attended Trinity University, where she continued to pursue her passions that were formed at Kinkaid; she majored in English and minored in Creative Writing and was a member of the Soccer and Track teams, earning All-American and Academic All-American honors in soccer. Julia attributes much of her love of athletics, especially running, to Cross Country coaches Cheryl Mitchell and Kate Lambert. She says, “They were amazing coaches and made me fall in love with running. I wouldn’t have run in college without them.” She also credits Kinkaid with preparing her with the tools she needed to succeed in her college and law school classes. Something that has stayed with her is the sense of joy that comes from working hard. Specifically, Kinkaid played a big part in developing Julia’s passion for writing literary fiction. Throughout her numerous English classes, she wrote a lot and became enthralled with the possibility of actually becoming a writer in the future. Unsurprisingly, her teachers quickly noticed her talent. She won The Callie B. Law Writing Award her senior year. Julia shares, “I still keep in touch with English teacher Kate Lambert and former teacher Casey Fleming. Their classes completely inspired me; I don’t think I would be the writer I am today without them. They helped nourish my interest and encourage my passion as I was reading and writing more and more.” While Julia loved all of her English courses, her sophomore English class with Casey Fleming really made an impact. In that class, they read The Things They Carried by Tim O’Brien, which sparked her strong interest in war novels. In her freshman English class at Trinity University, Julia wrote a short fiction

88

piece, and after talking with her professor, she decided to extend it into her own war novel. She worked on writing and editing throughout college, and then worked with editors and publishers while also attending law school at The University of Texas at Austin. (Her love of writing even inspired her to go to law school!) After over six years of hard work, Julia’s war novel, Indivisible, was published by Evolved Publishing in September 2020. Indivisible is about a soldier coming back from Afghanistan and his relationship with family and friends as he struggles with PTSD. While the act of writing and getting her ideas on paper was more important to Julia than actually publishing the book, she says it has been very rewarding to be published and to receive positive feedback and responses to her work. In addition to her new novel, Julia has also had two short nonfiction pieces recently published in The New York Times Tiny Love Stories column – in November 2019 and February 2020. Julia encourages those interested in writing to stick with it and write because it matters to you. She says, “If you write because you love it, the rest will fall into place. Writing a book isn’t that hard; if you write a page a day for a year, you’re done with your book!” The summers after Julia’s junior and senior years of college, she taught creative writing at Johns Hopkins’ Center for Talented Youth program in Los Angeles, CA and in Hong Kong. This opportunity was made possible thanks to Kinkaid English teacher Dr. Charlie Scott. His son was in the same class as Julia’s younger brother Michael ’20, and she ran into him at a Kinkaid soccer game. Although Dr. Scott never taught Julia at Kinkaid, he knew about her talent for writing and encouraged her to apply for this program that he helps coordinate. In addition to receiving The Callie B. Law Writing Award her senior year at Kinkaid, Julia

was also honored with The Cooper Award, one of Kinkaid’s highest character awards, at graduation. Her junior year, she received The John and Dorothy Cooper Scholarship, a merit-based award that covered tuition her senior year at Kinkaid. Julia feels extremely grateful for these honors and the doors and opportunities they opened for her. She remarks, “Kinkaid gave so much to me, and seeing that I made an impact and that everything I had done was noticed made me feel like I meant as much to the School as it meant to me.” Julia is graduating early from The University of Texas School of Law this December and will start working in the Jones Day Houston office in early 2021. She is interested in pursuing litigation, but she will rotate practice groups for the first year as part of the New Lawyers Group. She will also still continue to write fiction novels and would love to combine her interests in law and writing by crafting non-fiction novels through a legal lens. Julia is looking forward to being back in Houston and able to cheer on her little sister Emily ’25 at Kinkaid soccer games! Julia shared a takeaway from her time at Kinkaid that is a good reminder for us all: “Kinkaid has a way of making you feel el like you can do anything g in the world; so, rememberr that any time things seem m hard, you CAN do anythingg you want!”

Julia’s novel, Indivisible, is available for purchase on Amazon and at Barnes & Noble.
