As we write, another glorious summer has passed and it is time to settle back into the rhythm of autumn. At this stage in our lives, we juggle caring
for aging relatives, raising and fledging children, our careers, and thoughts of what’s next, so a special thanks to all who shared their news. By the time you read this, our talented Tod Randolph will have had a successful run with the Portland [Maine] Stage Company as Maggie in Dancing at Lughnasa and Lisa Posey Krakowsky will have been ordained into the Sacred Order of Priests at the Cathedral of St. John the Divine in NYC. Our congratulations to both, and, if anyone attended those September/October events, please drop us a line for the next class notes! I (Jane Shattuck Mayer) saw Dan Hajjar in Andover in early August. We strolled around campus and reminisced as I showed him some of the more recent improvements. In July, Posey Krakowsky, Liz Roth LaFarge, Rich Chapell, Scott Drescher ’79, and I had the chance to reconnect with our School Year Abroad France 1979 classmates in Boston as part of the larger organization’s anniversary celebration. We had a great turnout, but several of our PA classmates were sorely missed. We hope Jay Glynn, Amy Jedlicka, Allyn Burrows, Sally Doyle Boulet-Gercourt, and Susan Getgood will join us next time. In September, Chris Witt’s son Tyler ’19 entered ninth grade at PA, and Rich Goldberg’s son Alex ’18 started 10th grade. I caught up with Rich last spring and hope to connect with both Rich and Chris this school year. Aimee Thorpe MacFarlane and Duncan MacFarlane accompanied their daughter, Dorothy ’15, to her first year at the University of St. Andrews in Scotland—a great reason to “have” to visit Scotland for the next four years. Grace Curley and her daughter celebrated summer by touring New England ice cream parlors. What a fun and yummy way to enjoy the season! Andover | Winter 2016
