buy anyone…a…coffee (stands)…I often wear a tweed jacket and a waistcoat…I’m wearing them nonironically…so join me sometime.” Up in Fairfax, VA, Gilbert Gimm is fifthyear faculty at George Mason. Check out his smiling face and cool list of research at http:// bit.ly/1Ot7Ajb. Randall Kempner, like Bowman, appears a second time, as Gilbert reported catching up with him and Carter Hood at a college event. William (Downs) Rosselli Del Turco recently transitioned to a part-time position with Maryland’s Department of Labor as an adjudicator, in order to focus more time on his private practice of law in the field of child abuse and neglect. Stefan Cushman wrote about his recent non sibi activity, joining the board of the Maine Seacoast Mission, a wonderful organization based in Bar Harbor (seacoastmission.org). Kristen Nork wrote from Reno, NV, where she is a family physician and medical director. Janice Neri ’88 and family visited over Christmas, and Kristen saw Selena Seto this spring when on campus to watch her niece, Erica Nork ’16, graduate from PA. Congrats, Erica, from the Class of ’87! Suzi Leech Strate wrote for the first time from bucolic western Massachusetts, where she is raising her son and working as a state demographer. “Also still cycling,” she writes, “but at about a fraction of the old team mileage!” Jonathan Bush continues to try to eat more jelly doughnuts (read the winter notes for insight). And with the shortest but most poignant notes submission ever, David Lillard responded to my request for news by throwing both hands up in the air and yelling, “Two high fives!” Yes, he just e-mailed a capital “Y.” Right back at you, David, and of course to everyone else in the class as well: Y!

Allison Picott ran into Bart Kalkstein in their mutual hometown, Concord, MA, in April. She’d previously seen Bart’s parents at PA and recalled how she’d stayed overnight at their cabin in Maine along with Bart, Luke Wennik, Gary Witover, and Kristin Humphries Bouchard ’89 following graduation. They’d attempted to cook lobsters on the wood-burning stove (not recommended). While back on campus for trustee/Alumni Council meetings, Allison had the pleasure of seeing John Kline, Doug D’Agata, and Andy Brown. Doug wrote separately of the weekend, noting that “apart from participating in the critical mission of the Alumni Council, we proved the postulate that nobody shuts down a bar like the Class of 1988.” Elee Kraljii Gardiner hangs out with Wing Taylor ’89 in Vancouver, BC, where “he has been cheerfully withstanding poetry readings as I launch my first book of poems, Serpentine Loop (Anvil Press).” They saw Atticus Lish ’89 when he brought his runaway novel to town. Elee also ate at Corinna Mozo ’86 and Pablo Mozo ’89’s Toronto restaurant, La Cubana, “which is excellent and beloved already. “If anyone has book groups, classes, or a friendly bookstore and wants a visit from a poet, let me know. I’m bringing the book to the East Coast in the fall and would love to reconnect!” Paula Rand Hornbostel loved seeing college roommate Christina Weaver Vest ’89 in Wellesley, MA, and getting their children together. Brennen Keefe was pleasantly surprised to hear from Hannah Bardo ’10, who reached out to him and his Will Hall buddies for memories to include in a book she made for her dad, Seth Bardo, who recently retired from Andover after 30 years. Aisha Jorge Massengill is in lawyer grad school at Georgetown. She reports, “It’s kickin’ my behind, but I’m pushing through. One more
semester to go.” Aisha traveled to San Francisco and saw Jill Miller and Malieka Bundy. “We had a ball, as it had been several years since I’d been in the presence of my girls. We didn’t miss a beat,” she says. Earlier, she attended a PA-sponsored event featuring a documentary about Brian Gittens ’89’s protest for recognition of MLK Day at PA. Sarah Perkins and her daughter were in attendance, as were Terri Stroud, Sanders Adu ’90, Sherry Martin ’89, Willie Tate ’90, Malcolm Palmer ’89, and Sheldon Royal ’89. Rani Ali-Ahmad, wife Abby, and son Dany welcomed new baby boy Noah in March. Rani’s family lives in LA, where he runs a venture fund called Venvest Capital. Also welcoming a new arrival is Stevie Ray Nezhad, who writes, “I’m pleased to announce the arrival of our second daughter! Sabine Marie Nezhad was born in March in Beantown. Older sister Annalee is thrilled, as are mom Aimee and Big Daddy Ray! We are doing well and getting more sleep by the day!” Perhaps getting a touch more sleep is Jed Gore, whose littlest, Jackie, is now 18 months. “Not sure what year Andover that makes her,” he writes, “but I’m damn well going to push for it!” Shannon Meyer’s son, Toby, has “somehow become a 5΄11˝ high school freshman” at the Colorado Rocky Mountain School, where her husband teaches. Toby’s climbing team won the state championships. Shannon’s daughter, Cassidy, is 12 and loves skiing and playing soccer. Shannon still covers seven states for the Land Trust Alliance. After 20-odd years of living overseas, Steve Schlemmer and Tanya Rulon-Miller ’89 will move to Sag Harbor, NY. They look forward to seeing neighbors Chris Husband and Dan Koontz, as well as reconnecting with other PA alums. Rob Patrick will have a change of command in October at Naval Air Station Whidbey Island, near Seattle. If anyone in the area would like to attend, message Rob on Facebook, and he will coordinate base access and an invitation. In 2013, Grace La and her family returned to Boston, where she is a professor of architecture and director of the master in architecture degree program at the Harvard Graduate School of Design. La Dallman, the architecture practice she cofounded with her husband, James, continues to operate in Milwaukee, as well as at a new office in Boston. Grace’s older son, Seamus, will join the Andover Class of 2020 this fall. After a recent visit, Grace confirmed “the rumors that the food has seriously improved since our day!” Grace’s younger son, Henry, will join the sixth-grade class at Milton Academy this fall. Also joining the Andover Class of 2020 is Roddy Scheer and Alex Tibbetts ’89’s daughter, Eliza. Their family moved from Seattle to San Francisco. Falcon Guides published Roddy’s Waterfall Hikes of Washington guidebook, which details his experiences hiking to 70-plus waterfalls and includes his photos. Tina Merrill writes from Durham, NC, where
