1976 Class Representative Tenney Mead Cover tenney.cover@verizon.net 781-329-5449 Eliza Storey Anderson is in the process of moving back to Cambridge after a year in Paris and has four mostly-grown children scattered through fields from environmental law to business to music. Emily Faulkner lives in Idaho with “two daughters in high school and a shrinking menagerie (one horse, one donkey, one llama, two rams, twenty hens, cats and dogs…sold the ewes last summer, so for the first time in 13 years I have not been expecting lambs. Liberating!). I teach French to first through the eighth graders at the Sandpoint Waldorf School…. I’d be happy to hear some other stories and catch up via email with one and all. My address is: bluestocking@airpipe.com”

presentation at the Garden Club of America’s annual conference last fall on water conservation, watershed protection, and restoration, and have several more talks scheduled this year. I also landed a teaching position in sustainable urban development at S.F. State University; challenging, exciting, difficult, and rewarding all at once. Enjoying life as a whole, too: lots of running, competitive squash, ultimate Frisbee, hiking, and more to keep me in shape — and even entered my first half-marathon! Husband Phil still makes me laugh every day, and we’ve made sure to carve out lots of time for friends, family, and our wildlife travels.” Todd Larson has been keeping busy as a tour guide for Super Duck Tours in Boston (not to be confused with Boston Duck Tours). “I tell the passengers exciting stories and anecdotes about Boston’s history, culture and current events as we meander through various Boston neighborhoods. I spin tales about ships, shores, and sharks as the duckboat goes along the waterfront and finally splashes down into the harbor. I wrap up each tour with duck jokes and duck tales (no pun intended). I’m having a ‘quacking’ good time on this new job, and it’s really helped me sharpen so many of the skills we were taught at Park: historical research, humor, engagement with the public, working with others, and, as Mr. Hurlbut would put it, ‘oral presentation and confidence.’ I invite Park alumni past and present to come on my tours; visit superducktours.com for details. On the side, I do freelance writing and editing of websites, screenplays, novel manuscripts and blogs (visit my website, tlarsonthewriter.com), and I’m always looking for new opportunities. I recently reconnected with classmate

Douglas Christian at a Cambridge Book Club Meetup group; it was great to see him again after so long. Our group discussed James Horn’s new book A Land as God Made It: Jamestown and the Birth of America, which was the perfect continuation of the historical seed John Spicer had planted in our minds in our seventhgrade social studies class! I was really impressed with how much Doug knew about so many subjects — it comes from the lifelong love of learning Park School inculcated in us. My best to all my classmates and former teachers, wherever you may roam, o’er land or sea or foam!”

I’m working three days a week as a pathologist, still having fun learning to play the guitar, doing lots of yoga and core fusion to

keep fit (physically and mentally!), and I’m doing a bit of outreach for the book I co-authored The Serotonin Power Diet, which is effective to reverse antidepressant-related weight gain. And, summer concerts have been great: Dispatch and Peter Frampton were both amazing performances and lots of fun.” Margie Talcott recently returned to Brookline after many years away. “I haven’t lived in the Boston area since 1982, when I graduated from Milton Academy — a long time ago! After the college experience at Princeton, I spent 12+ years in New York City and then 12+ in Exeter and Portsmouth, New Hampshire. I will be keeping my job in Portsmouth as the associate producer of the Writers’ Series at The Music Hall performing arts center. We’ve had a banner year in the series welcoming David McCullough, Neil Gaiman, Joyce Carol Oates, Elizabeth Gilbert, Joseph J. Ellis and Simon Winchester. We have another great line-up of writers in the season ahead — a lot to look forward to!”
