Fred Masoudi e-mails from Denver that he is a professor of medicine in the division of cardiology at the University of Colorado’s Anschutz Medical Campus. Amy Pullen, an intellectual-property licensing attorney working for ARM Ltd., lives in Lexington, Mass., with her husband, Nathaniel McIntosh ’82, and their daughter, Lydia, and son, Ethan ’15. She says it was “great to catch up” with Christine Kubacki Atherton on a trip to the nation’s capital. Congratulations to John Harpole, who is celebrating 10 years of marriage to Gabi Starr; Gabi has become friendly with Tamar Szabo Gendler through their similar scholarly interests. John credits Liz McHenry with setting him up with his wife. He often sees Liz and Wallace “Macky” Alston in New York and recently hosted Henry Dorn and his “brilliant and beautiful daughter Julia.” From Washington, D.C., Donald Marron is thrilled to share the news that he and wife Esther have adopted a baby boy, Charlie, who “is a joy, full of life and possibility.” Donald is part of the leadership team of the Urban Institute, a nonpartisan think tank. Finally, if you were in Martha’s Vineyard this August, you may have caught Catherine “Cathy” Hicks at the annual fair. She was planning on being there with her 3-year-old daughter, Grace, who’s starting nursery school this fall.

Dear all, I and best faithful reunion date ever, Pauline Lim, heartily enjoyed our 30th Reunion! This time I made the bold move of spending twice as much time on campus as in previous years and ended up learning just how many more of our classmates are working for some branch or other of U.S. intelligence than I might have had I only come for Saturday night dinner. Go Blue! Claudia Kraut Rimerman was in attendance,

along with husband Howard Rimerman. She loved seeing everyone, especially Hee-Jung Shin Moon (with whom I shared some fond memories of Sarah Jane Cohen Grossbard), Daisy Smith, and Mischa Frusztajer. Claudia shared her new hobby: On business travel, look up classmates in that city and have a mini reunion! Betsy Biern, having felt this latest to be a first true homecoming and having enjoyed as much spending time with old friends as getting to know new, is looking forward to seeing where we are in the next five. As of this writing, she is in the SF Bay Area with husband Ted Booth, reporting from a post-reunion wine tasting with Stephen Jones. At the reunion, Stephen especially enjoyed (and I was sad to miss) Chas Fagan’s Addison tour: painting, sculpture, and tales of working intimately, as he does, with public personalities. Joel Post loved seeing so many of our classmates this reunion weekend. He hoists his thanks high to Rob Kellan, Chris Gildehaus (who is doing for PA coaching now what might have made me love sports then—hats off to you, Chris), and others for making sure that 30 years later, we still end every night in a celebratory manner. Phoebe Brown writes how much fun it was to see folks she hadn’t seen for years. One highlight, among many, was the terrific time she had catching up with Janine DiTullio and hearing about all of her impressive comedy-writing projects. As a bonus, Phoebe and her daughter Lily got to stay in Janine’s old room in Johnson, which, apparently, is quite fancy these days. Personally, I especially enjoyed catching up with Mery Caplan Wright, Caroline Ren Jackson, Tim Cahill, Mike Cahill, Nick Bienstock, Laurie Nash (we all, but especially Bill Seeley and I, owe you one—Laurie, you know what I mean), Nina LeSueur, Annie Emmick, Jen Tessier Antonucci, Ben Schlosser, Kent Lucas, Dave Duckenfield, and Courtney Keppelman, just to name a few—although, sad to say, I couldn’t keep up with the best, all up till dawn Friday and Saturday nights both! Nancie Pageau deserves special thanks and recognition for coming halfway around the world to our reunion. It was great to see you, Nancie! Sadly, little more than a haggard wave was caught from Paul Murphy, as it was not only his own 30th but his fifth reunion cycle of students! Neither was there enough time with Torrance York or Stephanie Hunt. Regrets were received from Abby Shuman, Lisa Foster, Alix Goodwin Olavarria, Scott Crabtree, Milisa Galazzi, Sarah Bullock, Christopher Lynch, Auny Abegglen, Christine Kim, and Susan Deeds. Also missed were (at least) Al Griffin, Paul Vrana, Jason Bochinski, Miry Park, Kacy Cuddy, John Chaisson, Andrew Podolsky, Ashley Wilson, Rachel Simpson, and John Caulkins, to name just a very, very few. Hope to see you (all) at the 35th! Your friend in all things fun, Adam

As Blanche DuBois famously noted in A Streetcar Named Desire, “Sometimes—there’s God— so quickly!” I found that out when this class notes deadline snuck (sneaked?) up on me, amid a crazy week of work deadlines and Little League games. So I took to the Class of 1986 Facebook page—are you a member?—sent out a panicked plea for zany stories, then sat back and watched the news start rolling in. (I ran into Kelly McCann on the golf course the same day!) And the depth and breadth of truly thoughtful activities being conducted by our friends gives me pause, and I am honored to share it. In May, Nicole Grieco Butterfield and Kim Guzowski copresented a workshop for teachers called “Shakespeare in 2D, 3D & HD” at the NYAIS (New York Association of Independent Schools) Teaching with Technology conference. Nicole and Kim have been collaborating on teaching Shakespeare at the Whitby School and the Hackley School for eight years, off and on. This workshop introduced other teachers to using theatre production, design, fabrication, and green screen techniques in the academic classroom to improve student understanding and enjoyment of Shakespeare’s work. Kim just cofounded a company with several theatre designers, stage technicians, artisans, and educators (including Nicole) who are creating programs that teach students how to use their academic and artistic knowledge as a tool to build, make, and create. The company is called Technical Artisans Collective (TAC). To find out more, go to tacollective.org. If you are in the New York metropolitan area and wish to get involved with TAC or be on the mailing list for upcoming workshops for kids and teens, please contact
