Sharon Thomas wrote: “I’ve loved every minute of summer...while I still work at my company MAIA Education Resource Center, the pace slows down a bit and I get to catch up with my daughter earlier in the day. We’re making the best of it and traveling on weekends outside of NYC as much as possible. Our most exciting trip will be to Iceland. I hope everyone is doing well!”
Jud Henderson reported that he “had a great time this summer in Vail, Colorado playing on a 40+ lacrosse team with Mark Trowbridge, we also transitioned slowly back to reality by taking in a Foo Fighters concert shortly upon getting back home. My family is all well; we are counting all blessings.” Eric Wolarsky is in his “tenth year on the faculty of George School, but with a new job description (Associate Dean of Students). My wife Julia and I are expecting our first child in November.”
Matt Kramer is “still living in Marin, north of San Francisco; my wife and I are enjoying an increasingly busy life with our three daughters. I recently reconnected with Chris Sheldon, who lives down the road, through mutual friends—small world.” JOURNAL
Alison Cho wrote: “9/11 marks the five-year anniversary for my husband and me! We have two beautiful sons together: Matteo, who is two and Rocco, who is just six months! We are debating whether to have a third but the costs of full-time daycare for three gives us pause, especially since they just increased the rates. Currently working as an HR Business Partner in Employee Relations for a privately held biotechnology company called LifeCell. I ran into Brendan Lucey PDS ’91 at my job last year. He was visiting the company as a vendor. Definitely a small world! My brother, Ed Cho ’96, was in town recently for my youngest son’s baptism, as he is the godfather. He is currently working as a marketing manager for Cisco Systems and enjoying the southern California lifestyle.”
Jason Bilanin reported that “I live in Fair Haven, NJ, a very small town next to Red Bank. I am married with two daughters, Avery (9) and Sophie (7). I don’t have too many personal ties to Princeton anymore, but am in town every so often for work. I see Dan Knipe and Lee Batcha around as they also happened to end up in Fair Haven, and I play platform tennis with a great guy who graduated a couple years ahead of us and dated Mr. Franz’s daughter while at PDS.”

It was released April 17 by Papen Press on the one year anniversary of his passing. “Was Gabo an Irishman? is available on amazon.com in both hard copy and as a kindle version.
