and the military. Can’t wait to see everyone in May!” Tim Russell writes, “I’ve been living in Naples, Fla., with my wife and two kids, working as VP, International Markets, for NewsBank, Inc. At the moment I’m on a temporary assignment to Bangkok, where I’m helping our local partner expand across Southeast Asia. The family is here with me, and it’s been a great opportunity to travel with the kids back to Hong Kong, Singapore, Cambodia and India. I hope to get back to the U.S. in time for reunion, since it’s been a long time since I’ve seen everyone.” Curt Stevenson writes, “My wife, Monica ’90, and I are still living in Walpole, Mass., with three healthy children—Jane (will be 16 by the time this gets published), Patrick (13) and Lily (10). I still get together every few months with Dave ‘Az’ Aznavorian to play squash, drive through Papa Gino’s or read old Nobles student directories. I’ve enjoyed playing on a men’s lacrosse team the past two summers with John Hauck and Mark Epker ’89. I’m pleased to announce that John McManus and his wife, Melissa, have recently moved to my neighborhood and just had their first child, Barbara, on my birthday, Oct. 10, 2012. It’s been great to reconnect with so many people while planning our 25th in May.” Piper Fowler Sheer writes, “Almost as hard to believe as our 25th reunion, is I’m approaching my 20th year of working at Boston-based IDG. Having a great time (most of the time!) heading up the HR function, dealing with lots of exciting business changes around the world, and having the opportunity to travel to
great places. For 10 years I’ve been living in Norwell with my husband, Peter (yes, we are Peter and Piper), and two sons, Sam (13) and Jake (10). When I’m not working, I volunteer at the kids’ school, dabble in some photography, spend as much time on the water as possible, and hang out with my family, who all still live nearby.” After years as a magazine editor at Beer, Wine and Spirits, Maia Merrill Gosselin finally figured out how to turn her love of wine into a business. She started Sip Wine Education and does in-home or in-business educational wine tastings with a fun, laid-back approach. Business has been growing faster than you can drink a glass of wine! The upside? More wine (and beer and spirits) in her house than she could possibly ever drink. The downside? Well, there isn’t one. Maia lives on the North Shore with her husband, Emil (who is very happy about all the libations), and her two young daughters, Lilian and Clara, who, of course, do not imbibe but have more wine terminology under their belt than any children should, and a crazy collection of corks.” Stephanie Stamatos Krepps writes, “My husband, Matt Krepps, and I took our first vacation without our daughter, Taylor (16 months). Although we missed her terribly, we had a blast in Banff National Park in the Canadian Rockies.” Meredith Johnson writes, “Al and I moved to Beverly, Mass., and are laughing at how little we know about old-home repair. Fortunately, we do not take ourselves too seriously and know when to call in the pros. So far, we are still making progress, and it is not totally em-

barrassing to have guests. In fact, we had friends from France come for three weeks and used our house as base camp. It was wonderful to use some of Mrs. Bernstein’s and Haslett’s French lessons again. We live down the street from the beach and kayak when we can. Guests are invited any time. Finally, I am delighted Amy Freedman, her husband, Peter, and daughter, Liza, moved back to Cambridge from Newport. It is great to have them closer and have Peter working on Curious George. I hope to see Amy back onstage soon.”
