to visit Scott Kostojohn earlier this year in Seattle. According to Andy, “Scott and his wife, Vasantha, and their super-cute kids, Alex and Peter, are doing great and live not far from the Space Needle.” Amy Carr has moved to Nashville, Tenn., and reports that it’s a great place to be. She has one of the more unusual jobs of anyone in our class: designing concert lighting. As of April, she was directing lights on a tour for country artist Phil Vassar. Early this year, Mike Corkery made the jump from his longtime post at the Wall Street Journal to the New York Times, where he reports on the nation’s “too big to fail” banks. He and his wife live in Brooklyn, N.Y., where they chase after Julia, 5, and Thomas, 3. After a nearly 10-year hiatus, Alison Wheeler Kennedy is back on the ice, playing in an adult hockey league and “loving it,” she reports. Both her daughters, Peyton and Lauren, also play hockey, to Alison’s delight. Zeke Farrow is still writing screenplays in LA. The documentary he cowrote and coproduced, Best Kept Secret, is still winning major awards and doing well on all the VOD platforms. Ted Gesing spent some time on the slopes this past February with Amanda Adams, Alissa Fishbane, Lucie Boyce Flather ’91, Jenny Elkus ’92, and Anna Ivey ’90. It was shockingly good snow that impressed some jaded East Coast skiers. Asher Richelli continues balancing high-power lawyering and great theatre. On the interesting side of that equation, he serves as executive director of Page 73 Productions. Ted Gesing had the chance
to see and savor the group’s staging of one-woman show Grounded back in January. Lilli Lewis is living in Hammond, La., and making music of all kinds, including performing with an indie rock band named The Shiz. She’s working on a cantata called “Pyramids,” dedicated to the memory of Andover’s late, great music instructor William Thomas. And while on the subject of faculty, retired PA teachers Bob and Susan Lloyd send their regards to the entire class. They now live in Vermont, where Sue serves as a guardian ad litem and is contending with Parkinson’s disease. Bob is involved with planning commissions and wildlife preservation. He encourages our class to get in touch. Anya Yankelevich lives in Denver with her 15-year-old son. She works as a parent educator. Sanghoon “Sean” Lee lives and works in Cyprus at an international video game company. He has one young daughter. Dan O’Keefe ran this year’s Boston Marathon and raised more than $30,000 for the Dana-Farber Marathon Challenge in the process. And we have lots of beautiful babies to report. Among the new parents are Samantha Appleton and Hardy Stecker. Hardy writes that the paths of the next generation are already crossing. “[Husband] Kyle and I welcomed our son, Otis Ware Page, in December 2013. Otis has already had some good hangs with Sam Appleton and daughter Bea as well as fellow Brooklynite Steph Johnes.” Willett Bird and Carole Reid Bird live in Hong Kong and just welcomed their third child, Quinlan, into the world in April. Quinlan joins big
brother Atticus and big sister Teagan. The family planned to spend three weeks in Rhode Island this past July. And several other proud trifectas: Chris White and his wife, Rachel, had their third son in May. Maria Burnett had her third child, son Sebastian, in April. And Stacie Ringleb writes with news of son Abraham, born in April, who joins his older sisters Trudy and Penny. One correction to the winter class notes: It was Allyson Clarke Hugley, not Alison Crawford, who wrote about Kim Valentine Washington. Our apologies.

For this reunion I took the commuter rail up to Andover alone, forgetting yet again what an uphill slog it is from the train station. But autopilot settled in, as I knew immediately how to reach registration in GW. Once I made it to the Cage, in time for the end of dinner, the first person I met was Christian Bateson. A rare contributor to the class notes and even rarer reunion attendee (this was his first), Chris became a frequent collaborator on much of what would transpire. I moved slowly through our class at dinner. Amos Barclay told me of his recent move to Boulder, Colo., after living in New York for seven Andover | Fall 2014
