NOMINATIONS SOUGHT FOR
Severine Fleming is merrily farming herbs, rabbits, pigs, chickens, goats and vegetables in the Hudson Valley of New York. Her first documentary film, The Greenhorns, will be released in December. Apart from the filming and the farming, she directs a nonprofit advocacy group for young farmers and consults on new media. If you have land in your family and are looking for young farmers to steward it, she can help you with that process. If you have a kid sister who wants to be a farmer, have her visit www.thegreenhorns.net. Crystal Jones writes that she has been just doing the mommy thing. “I have been blessed with a four-year-old daughter, one-year-old twins (a girl and a boy), and I am expecting a little boy some time late fall. So, I’ve been really busy, trying to maintain and build my own business.” Crystal misses her Park buddies and wishes everyone well. Katherine Jose tells us that she is living in Brooklyn and working as managing editor of the New York Observer, a salmon-colored weekly. Paul Naddaff is engaged to Ursula Joy August. “We met while I was traveling in South Africa five years ago, she was my waitress. We’ve been going strong ever since.”
