ALUMNI NEWS
catch up just like old times. Emily and her husband Don have three daughters, one at Kinkaid, one at Memorial and the oldest a freshman at University of Texas at Austin. Ironically, Emily wasn’t calling to just chat. She told me I had been chosen by the Advancement Office to be spotlighted in this issue for my work with autism. I hope you take the time to read it. It’s a huge honor and I am very grateful to Kinkaid for highlighting my family and giving a little insight into my life with a special needs child. On a final note, I’m sad to say Kinkaid lost a legacy this month with the passing of Coach Charles Sanders. Coach Charlie as many of us remember him, was a special part of our class as Elva Weatherford Riley’s uncle. Our thoughts and prayers go out to Elva and all of Coach Sanders’ family. He will be greatly missed. Please see page 18 for a story on Coach Sanders. Have a great spring everyone, and don’t be surprised if I’m emailing in a few weeks looking for more news!
1983 Anthony Brown Houston, Texas abrowntex@gmail.com Do you remember when Philip Stephenson buzzed the beach in a Cessna during senior skip day? Remember Temple Williams’ singing any Stones song better than Mick Jagger? Certainly you remember how the black St. John’s jerseys magically appeared at Kinkaid one day and that Anthony Brown returned most of them that very same day. Our reunion will not be as exciting as any of these but will be a lot of fun. We hope you can join us for cocktails and dinner on Saturday, April 20 at 7:00 pm at the home of Lauren and Jeff Friedman (809 Kuhlman Road). Cost: $60 per person.
1985 Carolyn Lasater Hodges Houston, Texas mkcarolynhodges@gmail.com Hello 85ers Happy 2013! Apologies for not submitting “scoop” for the past several newsletters. I hope all is well with you and yours. THANK you for keeping us updated.
SPRING 2013
Alethia Hassell Brown who is living in southern California (San Diego area) writes: “Mark and I took a road trip at the end of October from San Diego to Portland, Oregon for the French Bulldog National Specialty where our female puppy showed in conformation. We stayed in Portland for one week and enjoyed exploring the city. We took Highway 1 on the way home and enjoyed Carmel, Montery, Big Sur, Santa Barbara, etc. It was a gorgeous drive that everyone should take at some point. The drive around Pebble Beach and the neighboring golf courses is beautiful as well. We are looking forward to our annual vacation to Palm Springs at the beginning of January.

Sharon Callender Snowden who’s living in Houston wrote: “I’m spending Thanksgiving with my family in Galveston. This will be my first turkey day since marrying Richard Snowden last December. He is an English citizen so Thanksgiving is a new thing to him. We actually got married in Galveston last year at the Dickens on the Strand festival in full Victorian attire where we ran into Anne Doyle Charpentier. I’m sure we will be watching a little American football as well - another new concept to him” Editor’s note: Speaking of Anne, she posts some stunning photographs of her life in Galveston!

Another wedding! Candy Clardy married Mark Provine last Spring, and went somewhere fabu for their honey moon (saw photos on FB). Looked like everyone had fun at their wedding, too! Gigi Greene who’s living in College Station writes: “The most newsworthy thing in my life is that I’ve recently started a local (Bryan/College Station) chapter of the Weston A Price Foundation (www. westonaprice.org). Not sure if that qualifies as newsworthy to Kinkaidians, haha! Editor’s Note: Gigi posts some really great articles about healthy food and supplements, very knowledgeable.

Kara Thompson Dlabal messaged me saying that she has moved from Austin and took an “opportunity she couldn’t refuse” with MD Anderson and loving it. She is in the process of interview schools for her children in Houston. FYI: Kara is a heart doc! I’m not sure where Clay Platt is living, however he is traveling all over the world. He wrote that he spent Christmas in Steamboat Springs with his daughter. At some point Clay was in Russia and last I heard he was in London. Other sightings: I saw Caroline Boone Mitchell at a lacrosse tour-
