High-Impact Revitalization:

New Shepherd Commons reinterprets foundational student experience in the Upper School

by Melanie Shaw

A hallmark of Princeton Day School’s program innovation is the freshman curriculum, designed to create a shared experience that is academic, social, developmental and integrated. Now, thanks to the collaborative efforts and generosity of members throughout the School community, PDS offers a radically rebuilt physical space for freshmen that’s as innovative and impactful as the program.

The project funding and plans had been a labor of love and careful intentionality for some time before demolition and construction started in June. All summer, crews and School staff labored strenuously, completing the work on time for a spectacular “reveal” as students returned this fall.

“Perhaps the sunshine streaming from the skylight is responsible. Or maybe it is the expansive view of the garden from the new and enlarged windows across the rear of Shepherd Commons. Whatever the reason, students can’t get enough of this refreshed space that truly brings the outside in, enhancing our students’ lives in a profound and exciting way.”

– Mia Manzulli, 11th Grade Dean and Upper School English teacher

From the low-ceilinged, dark wing that years ago housed the Lower School has risen an airy, inviting cloister distinct from the rest of the Upper School. Look up, and sweeping banks of lofty skylights (and smart new interior lighting) bring abundant natural light and an atmosphere of uplifting physical and psychological space.

Look across, and soft greys and blues with teal accents, JOURNAL

Crews worked continuously through the summer to complete the transformation

“Love the skylights and wall of windows looking out on the Lower and Middle School kids playing and in the garden.”

“Furniture that’s functional and looks great – so many places to get together and work.”

along with the clean, modern lines of tables, chairs and open-ended seating modules, extend that zen sensibility.

A floor-to-ceiling wall of windows places the viewer in a vast tableau of playgrounds, the lovely garden, Kristy’s Meadow and the fields and trees beyond. Here, 9th graders meet with their peer groups, consult with faculty, study and socialize. Their entire grade can now gather in the much-enlarged common space, which also serves as a stunning venue for evening events, seminars, faculty meetings and more.

Ringing the Commons are 10 tech-savvy English and history classrooms for all Upper School grades, re-designed for everyone’s online, acoustical and soundbuffering needs. Two can be converted to double in size for larger groups and purposes. An ingeniously re-landscaped outdoor space creates an optional outdoor classroom oasis. Glassy, renovated offices include the writing center and freshman dean’s holdfast, and a mosaic of sleek lockers are tucked discretely throughout the space.

“In the large freshman common space, the natural light provides an inviting space, and it’s not uncommon these days to see students from across the Upper School spending time there. The new classrooms also make it easy to work with our students, from the smartboards to the desks that break apart to facilitate group work. I also love our History Department office, which is a wonderful space for collaboration with colleagues and students alike.”

“I love my glass-walled office. The kids think they’re watching me but I’m actually watching them!”

– Michael Friedman, Upper School history teacher

– Michelle Simonds, 9th Grade Dean and Upper School Spanish teacher

As Board Chair Rebecca Bushnell ’70 explains (see full letter, p. 34), the School’s leadership and the Board are constantly focused on what it takes to provide an “exceptional, all-encompassing student experience across all grades at PDS.” The challenge is to continue to do so in changing times that seem all too stressed and FALL 2018

“This place is insane! Why didn’t we have this when we were freshman?” —11th grader on first day of school, 2018

jam-packed for kids – an ever-evolving environment that demands careful rethinking and implementation.

Creating the best facilities that provide the “time and space to explore, invent, create, fail and try again” is critical to successful program implementation, Bushnell notes. And over the past several years, exceptional resources including Miss Fine’s Center for Interdisciplinary Studies, the STEAM Center, extensive new programming– and now the new Shepherd Commons – have greatly enhanced that ’time and space’ thanks to generous gifts focused on evolving education.

“We have a lot of challenges to meet as we develop new programs and facilities,” Bushnell notes. “But I know it must be done, for the sake of today’s and tomorrow’s students. And I will enjoy doing so in partnership with Paul Stellato and with the support of our generous community.”

“Paul Stellato and the Board of Trustees are always rethinking how best to deliver the exceptional experience our families expect at PDS. Critical to the success of that mission are a talented faculty and staff, carefully crafted programs and our facilities. Shepherd Commons and its surrounding classrooms have now been totally renovated and reinvigorated. Modern IT and audio-video teaching equipment, skylights, an expanded footprint, upgraded mechanical systems and lighting, and reconstruction of the walls to ensure noise separation for all means that these spaces truly deliver on that exceptional PDS experience.”

– Marc Brahaney, Trustee and Chair of the Building and Grounds Committee

ANNE SHEPHERD

A Life of Devotion and Impact

A bronze bust of a woman reposes outside Shepherd Commons.

Her face is suffused with a gentle and riveting sense of grace, kindness and care — a shepherd by calling and in name. Nearby on a brick wall, a small plaque affixed 20 years ago gleams with the lustre of age. Modest in scale, the message resonates and expands upon reflection, and even we who never knew Anne Shepherd begin to appreciate the enormity of her impact on this institution, and the world, through the countless lives she touched while here for almost half a century.

Dr. Michael Thompson Spends Day with Community Discussing Pressured Children In collaboration with Princeton Common Ground, Princeton Day School hosted famed clinical psychologist, school consultant and international presenter Dr. Michael Thompson for much of his day-long visit to the Princeton area this spring. Thompson has spent decades researching and writing about child development, schools Dr. Michael Thompson and parenting. Author of nine New York Times bestselling books including Raising Cain, Homesick and Happy and The Pressured Child, Thompson centered his visit around The Pressured Child, which explores the emotional lives of children, friendships and social cruelty in childhood, and psychological aspects of school leadership. Princeton Day School was honored to be one of the roughly 50 schools Dr. Thompson visits over the course of a year across the U.S. and in Europe, Asia and South America to lead workshops for teachers, administrators, parents and students.

During Dr. Thompson’s campus visit, he galvanized administrators and faculty in small interactive group workshops.

Later, he held an off-campus daytime session for parents of children in grades K-6 on the topic of friendships. And in the evening, Dr. Thompson gave an interactive lecture open to all Princeton-area parents, “The Pressured Child: Helping Your Child Find Success in School and Life,” speaking to a packed McAneny Theater. Dr. Thompson addressed America’s performance-driven obsession with children’s accomplishments and described the psychological journey that children experience during their school years– an intense journey that all children must take in order to grow and develop. Thompson riveted the audience with observations and analysis of real-life situations that can teach us how to “listen for the truth” of our children’s experience, and how to trust, love, and ultimately let go. A

series of audience questions fueled the session and underscored the emotional urgency with which many parents are confronting issues of stress in the lives of their children and in their own lives.

First Annual Empty Bowls Service Event Brings Hunger Home

Handcrafted bowls created by PDS students

The first annual Princeton Day School Empty Bowls event took place in the Campus Center on April 4. This service event dedicated all proceeds to local organizations addressing hunger in our region. Attendees purchased a handcrafted bowl created by our students and enjoyed a simple meal of soup and bread. Afterward, everyone took their bowls home as a reminder of hunger, which threatens hundreds of millions around the world. Even in the U.S., one of the wealthiest countries, one in six children may not know where they will get their next meal.

Empty Bowls, an international initiative begun in 1990 to fight hunger, is personalized by organizations on a community level.

At PDS, ceramics teacher Eric Rempe worked with students from 4th and 8th grades and the Upper School to create and donate 350 bowls. Local restaurants donated approximately 35 gallons of soup. Approximately 22,000 meals were provided by local and national food banks through funds raised from the 350 bowls sold.

Culminating Retreat for Inaugural Year of Bridges Program In early May, all 7th graders gathered for an on-campus retreat to work with the 12th Grade Bridges leaders, who planned activities that promoted cooperation, communication, problem-solving, and teambuilding in an active and fun way.

This retreat, organized by Dr. Candy Shah, was a great way for our 7th Grade students to spend the afternoon engaging in the same social and emotional skills they learned about all year with their senior leaders through the Bridges Program.

MAY 2018 BLUE & WHITE DAY Miss Fine’s Fellows 2018 Tara Quigley, Director of the Miss Fine’s Center, has announced the 2018 recipients of Miss Fine’s Fellowships for the purpose of advancing interdisciplinary education at PDS. These faculty have received fellowships to complete the following curricular work.

Amanda Briski: to develop the curriculum for the new Contemporary World History and Global Citizenship semester courses. Lessons are student-centered with significant projectbased learning activities and require students to apply what they learn in class to real-world, contemporary situations. Anticipated resources include those focused on contemporary issues like the Choices Program from Brown University. In addition, the course includes a new goal (similar to last year’s goal for U.S. History) specific to developing and measuring successful curriculum.

Jessica Clingman: to design a new Science 5 curriculum with emphasis on creating a garden curriculum, helping students understand their brains and how they work, making the transition between 4th and 5th grade more effective, and creating a sustainability and global component to the curriculum.

Todd Gudgel: to design specific aspects of the curriculum for two new semester courses: 1.) Homer’s Odyssey: Ancient Myths/Modern Lives, and 2. Rome: Portraits of A City, which will be new cross-disciplinary courses for those students who would like to expand their Latin and Greek studies.

Alli Treese: to integrate a Project-Based Learning unit into the 6th Grade curriculum that uses the garden and grow towers to help

design experiments (to learn experimental design) while also providing a look into evolution and adaptation.

Tom Pettengill, Liz Cutler, Charlie Alt, and Carrie Norrin: to develop a new a mini-unit for the Environmental Science class centering on the intersections between science and society. This topic will be explored through the lens of how climate change has affected citizens of New Orleans, Louisiana, how the government responds and what lies ahead for them –particularly the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. This unit will explore interdisciplinary topics such as climate change science and policy, environmental and institutional racism, public health and medicine, and the roles that individual citizens can play.

Theodor Brasoveanu and Will Asch: to provide computer science students, in particular those enrolled in Introduction to Programming and AP CS Principles, with more in-depth expertise with hardware, electronics and sensors and give them a platform to apply many of the abstract concepts they learn while programming. Given that a large part of the curriculum focuses on creating games and simulations or solving mathematical problems using computational tools, students will benefit from taking the extra steps to apply their algorithms to real-world problems involving making decisions based on sensor data.

Theodor Brasoveanu, and Ann Robideaux: to build a forum in which both artisticallyand scientifically-inclined students can share their talents. The goal is to produce works that reflect the rich opportunities provided by science and dance, respectively, to have students inspire each other to enrich their

knowledge and practice by incorporating elements they have previously ignored or overlooked. For example, using one’s body and motion to convey difficult concepts in science, while also using computer programming (‘coding’), electronic sensors and abstract mathematical representations to enhance the artistic experience of a dance performance.

Brian Mayer and Theodor Brasoveanu: to create a collaboration between robotics and computer science classes. Working with the computer science class will give the robotics students more experience and expertise with programming. They will be able to have their robot perform more creative and difficult tasks, in essence, making more functional robots, which may inspire them to continue exploring computer science courses.

Corinne Bilodeau and David Burkett: to develop the curriculum for a new co-enrolled interdisciplinary geometry and architecture experience. The curriculum must contain the concepts from a traditional Honors geometry course at PDS (the Jurgeson, Brown, Jurgeson geometry text) to maintain consistent rigor for the Honors geometry experience. The curriculum must also smoothly mesh the ideas through the lenses of architectural standards and design thinking with the language and structure of geometry. Experiences must blend together so they lead to a deeper understanding in both disciplines at the same time. Developing a growth mindset will be of utmost importance throughout the year and feedback will be given on a regular basis with the overt intention of achieving this mindset development.

Kelsey Burns ’10 presents dance workshops.

Lower School students view Grace Lin’s illustrated books in the Anne Reid ’72 Art Gallery.

Imagine the Possibilities Hosted Three Artists on PDS Campus Princeton Day School welcomed three artists to campus in April for our Imagine the Possibilities artist residency program: Grace Lin, Melissa Sweet, and Kelsey Burns ’10. Newbery Award-winning author and illustrator Grace Lin worked with students on April 16 and 17 and discussed her art and writing, which were featured in April’s Anne Reid ’72 Art Gallery exhibit. A graduate of the Rhode Island School of Design, Lin was a National Book Award finalist for her most recent book, When the Sea Turned to Silver, and received acclaim for her other works, including Where the Mountain Meets the Moon and Starry River of the Sky. Melissa Sweet, illustrator, author, and Caldecott Award Honor Medalist, joined us immediately following Lin’s visit to discuss her works with students on April 18 and 19. Her books include Carmine: A Little More Red, a New York Times Best Illustrated Book; Tupelo Rides the Rails; Balloons Over Broadway: The True Story of the Puppeteer of Macy’s Parade, and, most recently, Some Writer! The Story of E. B. White, a New York Times bestseller and recipient of a NCTE Orbis Pictus award. On April 26 and 27, the School honored alumna Kelsey Burns ’10, a dancer, choreographer and teacher.

Foundation, the Gibney Dance Center, and the Stage Directors and Choreographers Foundation Observership Program. A former top-ten internationally-ranked salsa dancer, Burns also has taught at the Martha Graham School of Contemporary Dance and Princeton University.

Imagine the Possibilities is an annual Princeton Day School program made possible through the John D. Wallace, Jr. ’78 Memorial Guest Artist Series Fund, which brings authors, illustrators, and poets to campus to work directly with students across disciplines and grades. The program began in 1996 with the goal of having an artist spend the day on campus and visit classes across the grades. Now, two decades later, the program has doubled in size and scope, with multiple artists spending two days each on campus in division assembly presentations, classroom workshops, and autographing sessions.

Highlights of the Class of 2018 ENDOWED AWARDS

Alumni Service Award: Linnéa Eberly

Each year the Alumni Association bestows an award on a senior who exemplifies the spirit and values of Princeton Day School through service to others. Linnéa Eberly distinguished herself across all three divisions of PDS. Within our Upper School, she filmed and edited many videos for school-related programs, served as an elected member of the Service Learning Committee, and devoted almost 100 hours of her summer to helping on the Ropes Course. She also served our Middle School as a Study Buddy, and contributed to our Lower School as a TAP student. Beyond PDS’ campus, she has contributed her time to Corner House, Hunter Farms, a horse sanctuary, and her church.

John Douglas Sacks-Wilner ’80 Award: Elizabeth Brennan

John Douglas Sacks-Wilner, Class of 1980, was a young man of great strength, character and grace of spirit. This memorial award commemorates John’s special kind of determination and dedication, and it goes to a member of the graduating class who has overcome adversity and shown resoluteness, courage and resilience in surmounting obstacles to achieve his or her goals. Since Middle School, Elizabeth Brennan has faced adversity with courage and determination. With a bright smile and relentless optimism, she never let obstacles slow her down. Her strength and resilience allowed her to not only achieve great success in the classroom and on the field, but also to encourage and support those around her.

Frederick D. Woodbridge ’78 Memorial Award: Rahul Bhatia

Fred Woodbridge, Class of 1978, demonstrated extraordinary leadership as a senior class president and impressive qualities of citizenship throughout his career at PDS. This memorial award goes to a graduating senior who has exhibited outstanding leadership qualities in

11

developing class unity and spirit. Rahul Bhatia has enthusiasm, good cheer, and a sense of purpose that emanate in everything he does. A mobilizer and motivator in our community, he inspires others to be their best selves, and adults and peers alike are drawn to him as he leads by example. It is no surprise that he was elected Class President four times. To watch him in action in this role has been a true treat: in every speech, call to action, or pep talk, he has exuded a rare combination of authority and approachability.

The Anne Shepherd Humanities Award: Julia Parks

This award is given to a member of the junior class who has produced distinguished work in one or more of the following disciplines: English, history, music, art, or drama. Anne Shepherd taught English for 44 years at Miss Fine’s School and then at Princeton Day School before retiring in 1995.

Shepherd Commons is named in her honor. Julia Parks is a talented writer with an enlivening presence, an enviable style and an impressive capacity for analysis. In her English, history and French classes, she demonstrated the power of clear and discerning thinking and writing. As a writer, she showcased a willingness to risk, and to push and ponder all while having fun and smiling. Her love for performing was infectious: she brought a celebratory spirit to her work in the rehearsal room and on the McAneny stage through music, theater and dance.

Mark L. Zaininger ’81 Memorial Award: Zoe Jackson and Amon DeVane

Established in 2010 through the generosity of the Zaininger family and friends, the Mark L. Zaininger ’81 Memorial Award honors a student whose professional and personal life was dramatically and positively influenced during the summer of his junior year at Princeton Day School, through his participation in a creative, challenging and rigorous summer program. The award is given annually to a member of the Princeton Day School junior class whose proposed summer experience in pursuit of an interest or passion has the greatest likelihood of inspiring and revealing to the recipient new horizons and directions for his/her life path.

The applications this year for the Zaininger Award were so exceptional that we presented the Award to two outstanding members of the Junior Class.

Zoe Jackson’s summer experience: an intensive threeweek architecture immersion program in Italy offered by the Center for Sustainable Urbanism. The program, taught by Harvard-educated professors, has a focus on sustainability and the interdisciplinary relationship between environmental issues and urban planning. Amon DeVane’s summer experience: a rigorous 20-day mountaineering leadership and guide training course in Alaska offered by the International Wilderness Leadership School (IWLS).

The program has an especially well-defined and rigorous curriculum that involves receiving a letter grade at the end of the programand documentation through photography, journaling and drawing.

Jim Walker Memorial Math Award: Naveen Bhatia

Jim Walker —a long-serving math teacher and department chair at PDS— affected many lives both inside and outside the classroom. This award recipient embodies the love of math and passion for learning that Jim Walker exemplified. Whether he was explaining the logarithmic scale used to measure sound in Honors Algebra 2 or helping his fellow students understand the intricacies of geometry, Naveen Bhatia exuded enthusiasm for the subject, and it was contagious to everyone he encountered.

A two-year SiMS (Success in Math and Science) mentor, he was the program’s strongest promoter and a highly-requested mentor. In his free time, Naveen worked as a volunteer tutor to countless underclassmen, helping to inspire them while facilitating their success.

PRINCETON DAY SCHOOL CHESS TEAM HIGHLIGHTS The Princeton Day School Chess team competed at the National Junior High Championship (K-8) in Atlanta, Georgia in April with more than 1,100 other players, and took the top prize. Winston Ni ’23 was named National Champion, winning all games in the K-8 championship section. The team of Winston Ni, Eric Wu ’24, Albert Ming ’22, Kai Shah ’22 and Dodge Martinson ’22 has won many state championships and has come close in many national championships, often missing first place by a half a point, which makes this an extra-special win, according to chess teacher Bonnie Waitzkin.

The PDS chess team also competed at the 2018 National Elementary (K-6) Championship in Nashville, Tennessee in May. The K-1 Under 500-rated team of Ethan Fede ’29, Sloane Schwendinger ’29, Arav Munjal ’30, Akshay Pillai ’29 and Aditya Pillai ’29 placed fourth, and Ethan Fede tied for third place with 6 out of 7 wins.

Nic Petruolo, (pictured with parents at PDS, left) who verbally committed to play Division I Ice Hockey for Union College last fall, was selected 46th overall by the Fargo Force. Head Coach Scott Bertoli remarked, "At PDS, Nic played in every situation from day one as a freshman. He played power play, penalty and critical minutes all the way through his four-year career. Nic’s size, strength and skill level will allow him to be a very effective two-way defenseman at the college level.”

Tyler Coffey, a Colorado College commit who attended PDS his freshman through junior years, was selected 52nd overall in the USHL draft by the Tri-City Storm.

“This is a tremendous honor and the next step for both Nic and Tyler in their pursuit to play high-level Division I hockey,” said Coach Bertoli. “The USHL is the top junior league in North America and the ideal proving ground for aspiring players to prepare themselves for college hockey. Both Tyler and Nic were instrumental in furthering our program’s reputation and their college commitments are a testament to the quality of student-athletes currently playing for our School.” Congratulations, Nic and Tyler!

SPRING SEASON HIGHLIGHTS Boys Varsity Tennis

2018 NJISAA Prep B Champions Record 5W — 8L Coaches Awards – Riley Gudgel ’18 and Vivek Sharma ’18 Varsity Award – Lex Decker ’18

Congratulations to the Princeton Day School Varsity Boys Tennis team, NJISAA Prep B Champions! Head Coach Will Asch reported that the team entered day two of the tournament at WardlawHartridge with a close 9-7 match lead over Rutgers Prep.

After some difficulties on the doubles courts, and a no-show that played to Rutgers’ favor, PDS and Rutgers Prep were tied 9 to 9 in matches.

Singles players Aaron Phogat ’21 and Lex Decker ’18 were both battling mid-match, and the team needed a win to clinch the championship. After some intense back and forth on the courts, Aaron and Lex both forced a third set in their matches.

“About this time,” remarked Coach Asch, “I reached for my antacids and a Gatorade.” Fortunately for the Coach and the team, Aaron Phogat started a run that got him to 5-2 in the third set. He finished out the win 6-3, dealing PDS the Championship —the fifth title in six years!

In the words of Coach Asch, “It was a very long day for PDS, but satisfying in the end. The tournament has become our most important, most anticipated event of the year.”

Boys Varsity Lacrosse

2018 Mercer County Champions Record 10W — 5L Coaches Awards/Offensive MVP – Jack Konopko ’18 Coaches Awards/Defensive MVP – Brooks Johnson ’18 Bob Krueger Varsity Award – Elon Tuckman ’18

The 2018 Boys Lacrosse team earned a record of 10 wins and five losses, and successfully defended a third consecutive Mercer County Championship – the first ever “three-peat” by any school in MCT history. The team earned statement victories over Springside-Chestnut Hill Academy, Pingry, and The Hill School. The most memorable game undoubtedly was a 13-11 victory over Lawrenceville, the first defeat of their varsity lacrosse program since the early 1980s.

The accomplishments of the season were especially sweet given the move up to NJISAA Prep A status.

Coaches Rich D’Andrea and Rob Tuckman certainly retired from the program on a high note. We thank them for their excellent leadership and wish them best of luck in their endeavors!

Girls Varsity Lacrosse Record 8W — 9L Coaches Awards – Kate Bennett ’18, Kyra Hall ’18 and Bridget Kane ’18 Kim Bedesem Varsity Award – Madison Mundenar ’18

The 2018 Varsity Girls Lacrosse team played a competitive schedule, which included impressive wins over Hun, Blair, and a then-undefeated Peddie team. Kyra Hall ’18 scored her 100th career goal at this game, which handed Peddie their first loss of the season. Senior Bridget Kane scored her milestone 100th goal in the first round of the Prep Tournament. Standout Madison Mundenar graduated with a career scoring record of 235 goals and career total points (that’s goals and assists) of 325!

The team hosted a thrilling Prep B Championship game for the fourth consecutive year. With the score tied, opponent Morristown Beard scored with 0.6 seconds left on the scoreboard, ending the game at a 9-10 deficit for the home team. A fourth championship in a row was just that close, but the girls fought until literally the very last second. The coaches and players were grateful to all the fans who came out to line the sidelines in support of the team.

Despite the loss of some key senior players, Head Coach Jill Thomas is looking ahead to a promising 2019!

Coach D’Andrea credited his senior players with these tremendous accomplishments: “During their four years in the lacrosse program, this senior class earned an impressive 51-15 record, three consecutive MCT championships, and two Prep titles. More importantly, they have been selfless contributors and respected leaders. Their legacy will undoubtedly impact the program for years to come.”

FALL 2018

Varsity Golf Record 6W — 2L Coaches Awards – Danielle Gershen ’18 and Nick McLean ’18 Varsity Award – Cade McLaughlin ’20 The Varsity Golf team started the spring season with just two returning Varsity golfers. It concluded the season with its most dominating dual match record in many years. For the first time in over ten years, PDS took down Lawrenceville, Peddie and Montgomery High. The team also tallied wins over Princeton High, West Windsor North, Lawrence and George School.

Cade McLaughlin ’20 and Nick McLean ’18 were the anchors for scoring, while consistent play from Alex DiNovi ’20 and Ty Eastman ’19 kept PDS competitive in tight matches. In the MCT, Ty finished in 7th place out of 100 participating golfers.

Coach Mochnal was very pleased with his team’s consistent effort and outcomes.

Varsity Baseball Record 8W — 11L Coaches Awards – Ryan Bremer ’18 and Matt Nyce ’19 Varsity Award – Luke Franzoni ’18 PDS Varsity Baseball kicked off their season with three straight victories over Prep opponents Lawrenceville, George School and Pingry. Subsequent wins over Peddie, Gill St. Bernards, Doane and Newark Academy cemented the team’s dominance in the Preps.

“Unfortunately, the rains came in earnest to put a damper on the end of the season,” remarked Coach Dudeck. “That’s when we all learned baseball could be considered a water sport.”

The players showed incredible talent and enthusiasm despite the weather obstacles and earned respect for Panther baseball in both Prep B and Mercer County Tournament play. The future certainly looks bright for Spring 2019.

Varsity Softball Record 1W — 9L Coaches Awards – Gia Massari ’20 and Hailey Young ’19 Varsity Award – Brooke Smukler ’19 Weather-wise, it was a difficult spring to play softball. Panther Junior players were called upon to lead this season, and they did so in a big way. They helped the team work hard throughout the season to improve, but never forgot to have a little fun along the way. Junior Hailey Young stole more bases than any player in seven years! The coaching staff was very proud of this team for their dedication to Panther softball.

Varsity Skating Coaches Award – Rebecca Tang ’19 Varsity Award – Claire Szuter ’18 The team of 12 skaters made great improvements over the short season, getting in more consistent practices and pushing themselves in the Spring Showcase held in April at the Lisa McGraw ’44 Skating Rink.

Coach Hodock is grateful to all of the skaters for their commitment and courage. The team will certainly miss the leadership and drive of senior Claire Szuter, but looks forward to the next season and the new experiences it will bring. The young returning team is ready to work hard to improve and grow! See you at the 2019 Spring Showcase!

US Athletic Director Takes a Vernacular Turn at Upper School Sports Awards In a format new last year, Director of Upper School Athletics Tim Williams played the role of emcee at the Upper School Sports Awards. Here are some highlights from Coach Will Asch’s specially prepared remarks for Williams, about the Boys Tennis Team: “You know the coaches wrote my speeches this year. And, I just got this one from Coach Asch. He says that he has written it in my native southern tongue just for me so I’ll try to do it justice.

It’s been a dog’s age since I spoke in a southern tone but I’ll try, and I hope y’all don’t need a translator... y’hear?

Lord have mercy on my soul, the tennis team had as great a season as Merle Haggard’s last love song... our Panthers brought back the Prep Championship and doggon’ it, they were as happy as pigs in mud ’cuz it was their 5th Prep B tournament crown in the last 6 years. Well, I declare! It wasn’t an easy tussle ’cause our four finals teams had to battle like hound dogs with wild cats, but Aaron Phogat came back from being a set down to clinch the outright win for us.

Coach Asch looked like he had been rode hard and put up wet, after all that, but he couldn’t be more proud of these young ’uns. They dun us all proud!

Now, for our First Coaches Award... this player’s been as loyal as a blue tick hound dog for four years — as steady as the Mississippi River and as clever as an Okeefenokee fox in both his singles and doubles play: Riley Gudgel.

For our second coaches award: this young man has played doubles and singles for four years and racked up over 40 wins... Whoo-wee ain’t that sumptin? Congratulations to Vivek Sharma.

Our Varsity award winner’s got more’n 50 wins in his high school career. That’s more’n a sackful of taters, and I’m tellin’ you true that this ankle biter’s gonna go down in HIS-TOR-EE as one of PDS’s most accomplished players... Well, we wish him all the best and congratulate Lex Decker on a fine season.

Emphasis Among New Coaches at Princeton Day School Is on Division 1 College Play and Leadership Experience

Doug Davis

Joe Moore

Liz Sharlow

Coaches at Princeton Day School play a crucial role developing individual athletes who are positive leaders and creating successful teams.

The School has no shortage of talent among its coaching groups, and its athletic program promises to benefit even more this year from some remarkably strong additions heavy on expertise in Division 1 college play.

Five new coaches were Division 1 standouts, including two right here at Princeton University.

The strong scholar-athlete credentials of the coaching staff reflect the values that fuel teams of all kinds at Princeton Day School. These five new coaches offer invaluable perspective and experience as players recruited by top college programs and as leaders in the classroom, on the playing field and as coaches. They join an exceptional group of coaching colleagues actively mentoring student leaders while building teams poised to compete at the highest level.

Varsity Boys Basketball Coach Doug Davis has strong ties to Princeton, having graduated in 2012 from Princeton University, where he played on the Men’s Basketball team and holds the record as the second leading scorer in the program’s history. Davis also teaches Upper School American History and AP Human Geography. Davis comes to Princeton Day School from the Berkshire School in Massachusetts, where he taught history and English and coached the varsity boys’ basketball team, served as an advisor, and was the lead boys’ dorm parent. A member of the 2018 Klingenstein School Leadership Summer Institute Cohort, Davis is a change agent and leader who’s focused on developing team cohesion. Davis explains, “We have a bunch of great guys who are coachable and really enjoy playing the game. The talent is there, and the goal is to come together as a team. If we’re going to be successful we’ve got to play together. I’m really looking forward to seeing them step up as team leaders.”

Varsity Boys Lacrosse Coach Joe Moore has impressive lacrosse experience and local ties, graduating from West Windsor Plainsboro North High School in 2007, then starting for three years for Syracuse University, NCAA Division 1 lacrosse powerhouse and winner of 15 national championship titles. Moore graduated from Syracuse in 2012 and, after playing Major League Lacrosse with the Rochester Rattlers, returned to his native NJ as Facility Manager and Director of Lacrosse at Centercourt Club in Lawrenceville. Moore will build on the success of the Princeton Day School lacrosse program that garnered three Mercer County titles and three Prep B titles under prior coach Rich D’Andrea’s tenure. “I am so excited to take the lead with the Panthers Lacrosse program. Alongside our strong group of senior leaders, I look forward to leading this group to a great 2019 season and continuing a winning tradition for years to come. Most importantly, my goal in this role is to support Panther Lacrosse players in becoming strong studentathletes and help prepare them for the next chapter of their lives following PDS.” says Moore.

Tommy Davis

Matt Trowbridge

Varsity Girls Basketball Coach Liz Sharlow was a four-year performer and senior captain for Lehigh University’s Women’s Basketball team, a well-established Division 1 Patriot Conference contender. She was co-captain of the Student-Athlete Council and received the Basketball Coaches’ Award for two consecutive years. After completing her undergraduate degree in Psychology, Sharlow remained at Lehigh, recently obtaining her Master’s degree in School Counseling and working as a basketball camp counselor and a graduate assistant for the Varsity Strength and Conditioning team. In addition to coaching, Sharlow also serves as a Princeton Day School Middle School Counselor, a role that she says allows her “to mentor hardworking and talented students in and out of the classroom.”

JV Boys Lacrosse and Middle School Ice Hockey Coach Tommy Davis is also an Upper School Speech and Debate teacher and Athletics Liaison in the Admission and College Counseling offices. Davis played ice hockey and earned his B.A. in History at Princeton University, where he was named ECAC All-Academic Team and Assistant Captain of the Ice Hockey team. In addition to playing professional ice hockey, Davis has served as an ice hockey coach for the Princeton Ice Hockey summer camps and National Collegiate Developmental Camps. Davis pursued graduate studies at Providence College and is about to complete his M.B.A. “We’re thrilled to be adding someone with Tommy’s extensive and accomplished playing background to our Ice Hockey program.

He will undoubtedly become an outstanding mentor and a tremendous resource for those aspiring hockey players looking to play at the collegiate level,” says PDS Middle School Athletic Director Scott Bertoli.

Middle School Boys Soccer and Middle School Squash Coach Matt Trowbridge ’98 comes home to Princeton Day School to coach and teach Middle School English and history. Trowbridge went on from the School after Grade 8 to Groton, where he was tri-varsity in soccer, squash and lacrosse, and soccer team captain. Trowbridge was recruited to play squash at Division 1 powerhouse Yale, whose squash program holds the third-highest number of national titles. After graduating from Yale, Trowbridge earned his M.A at Teachers College, Columbia University, and continued to focus on scholarship and athletics. He coached squash and taught at Lawrenceville before heading to Princeton Academy, where he taught and coached soccer for 10 years, squash for eight, lacrosse for four, and tennis for two. The PASH squash team he formed ascended to a Division 1 top-ten finish at last year’s Middle School Nationals. Says Trowbridge, “I’ve learned from some of the best on Princeton Day School’s wonderful campus, especially Carlos Cara. I hope to continue cultivating the School culture of character, sportsmanship, drive and teamwork from day one.”

As Upper School Athletic Director Tim Williams says, “It’s rare to have an influx of coaches with this type of talent all in one year, and with their credentials and experience they will mesh well with our veteran coaches to create a truly remarkable coaching staff for our Upper School athletes. I look forward to seeing how high they can lead our teams.”

August Faculty Professional Development A focus on tuning in to student needs A key component of August on-campus professional development was a two-day interactive workshop with the deeply experienced counseling and mental health team from the Stanley H. King Counseling Institute. The Institute teaches school faculties intensive listening and response skills that promote learning, meaningful relationships and responsible behavior for students.

Says Associate Head of School, Lisa Surace, “At PDS, our faculty is above all committed to being ever-present models for students. We act as guides through our responses, our actions and our inactions. We know that students’ needs are both evident and hidden, and that they seek adults who can handle feelings and experiences that sometimes overwhelm them.”

The skills honed in the workshop augment the faculty’s extensive toolsets already in place and will be applied throughout the program: in advisory, teaching, coaching,

conferencing and, informally, in gathering spaces — anywhere. Everywhere. Faculty at all levels shared that the experience broadened and deepened their listening skills, and that they apply not only with students, but with colleagues, parents and their own families.

It is perhaps one of PDS’s greatest strengths that its faculty is so committed to being intentional mentors by fully listening, and responding meaningfully, to forge enduring connections with each student. The work is continual, and incremental, as Upper School English teacher and Peer Group counselor Tom Quigley explains, “My goal as a teacher for twenty-nine years at PDS is simple but complicated: to help each student figure out how to best lead themselves. At the center of my work with each student is to help them share and follow and realize a vision, no matter the dream or direction—in partnership with clear communication, patient resilience, a willingness to risk failure, and a lens guided by solid character.”

Princeton Day School Middle School Head Renée Price Expands Her Role During opening meetings at Princeton Day School in early September, Head of School Paul Stellato announced that Middle School Head Renée Price will add to her current title that of Assistant Head of School for Academic Life.

Her appointment is effective immediately.

In her fourth year as Middle School Head, Renée Price is a graduate of St. Catherine’s School in Richmond, and the University of Virginia, from which she was awarded a B.A. in English and African American Studies. She has been awarded two advanced degrees: a Master’s of Science in Elementary Education from the University of Pennsylvania; and a Master’s of Arts in Educational Leadership from the Klingenstein Center, Teachers College, Columbia University.

Price has taught in both public and private schools, served as a department chair and helped shape policy and program in offices of advancement, admissions, and inclusion. As a faculty member at Maret School and St. Catherine’s, she was recognized with three of the schools’ highest faculty awards.

An accomplished scholar, author and speaker, Price has sampled broadly from a range of professional interests: as educational consultant to the Center for Contemporary Arab Studies at Georgetown; and with the Trustees of the Church Schools in the Diocese of Virginia the Girl Scouts of the Commonwealth of Virginia and the St. Catherine’s Board of Trustees and Parents’ Association Board. She has presented at the African American Women’s Language Conference at the University of Texas, the Center for the Study of the African Language at the University of Massachusetts and the People of Color Conference, sponsored by the National Association of Independent Schools.

In announcing her appointment to faculty, Head of School Paul Stellato observed: “Renée has distinguished herself through her care of Middle School students and her attention to every aspect of their experience; her high expectations and unalloyed support of her faculty; her abiding partnership with Middle School parents; and her invaluable counsel of her Leadership Team colleagues, the Head of School, and the Board of Trustees. She has ushered in new curricular initiatives, such as the DaVinci Program; enhanced and expanded the roles of the class deans and, during weekly Focus meetings, brought the stage of McAneny to life.”

Head of School Paul Stellato seated with Renée Price, Middle School Head and Assistant Head of School for Academic Life

As Assistant Head of School for Academic Life, Price will work closely with the chairs of the School’s Academic Affairs Committee – Casey Upson, Tara Quigley, Cloey Talotta and Jason Park – as it shapes and assesses the PreK12 academic program; and with Associate Head of School Lisa Surace, Lower School Head Alesia Klein and Upper School Head Trixie Sabundayo, as they recruit and assess faculty. Price will carry primary responsibility for the orientation of all new faculty; and, with science faculty member Charlie Alt, will serve as leadership liaison for Princeton Day School’s participation in the University of Pennsylvania Fellows Program, a consortium of select day and boarding schools.

In accepting the appointment, Price stated, “I am honored to continue to serve as Head of Middle School and assume the new responsibilities of Assistant Head of School for Academic Life. In this dual role, I will partner with faculty, school leaders and other stakeholders throughout the entire PDS community focused on a question: ‘How can we continuously improve the program experience of our students from Pre-Kindergarten through Grade 12?’

I cannot think of a more thrilling endeavor than to help ensure our academic program continues to meet the needs of our talented and diverse student body now and for the future.”

along with a host of heirs apparent

Catalyzed by the vision and endorsement of Head of School Paul Stellato, ‘innovation for impact’ is the activating principle of program development now transforming the Princeton Day School STEAM experience from PreK through Grade 12.

level scientific research, imparts invaluable experience collaborating with fellow research colleagues at top labs across the country, and produces a body of scientific work that just might catalyze a science career trajectory for each participant,” he explains. “Lee was such a key figure in galvanizing this initiative, and continues to have an impact even after retirement,” Park adds. Rosenberg – a career scientist, entrepreneur and renowned researcher – and his wife gave the School an endowed fund, and in a fitting tribute, it was repurposed to directly support the Research Experience program.

Specific projects emerged

Extensive efforts to evaluate and creatively redesign STEAM curricula, begun by famed science department chair Dr. Leon “Lee” Rosenberg and carried forward since his retirement in June by new chair Jason Park (who credits Rosenberg for an exceptional mentorship experience), are captivating students and parents and radically re-energizing teachers. Moreover, this model of program development is proliferating across academic disciplines at PDS, with nothing short of a seismic shift in learning opportunities and student engagement as the outcome.

The signature example of these labors, the Research Experience (REx) Program, is about to ‘graduate’ its first class of seven seniors, who applied as sophomores to participate in this highly selective 16-month co-curricular program. Designed and directed by biology teacher Dr. Carrie Norin, REx offers an unparalleled in-class and in-the-field science research experience for aspiring Upper School science students. During their junior year, REx students take ownership of the process of scientific discovery and research through independent study.

Delving into cutting-edge research in areas of particular scientific interest, students seek out labs to request and land internships. Once they have secured an internship, the students design and execute their own experiments and rely on faculty guidance and expertise. Students present their in-house experiments at STEAM Night in the spring and then work in their labs during the summer. The course culminates with a senior presentation in the fall by each participant on their summer research experience and findings.

“This kind of learning experience is virtually unheard of in most high schools in the U.S.,” says Jason Park, 5th-12th grade science chair. “REx brings our hardestworking students directly into the world of graduate-

Specific projects emerged from research, publication investigations

The process through which each student landed on their research areas was intentionally designed to yield a specific and personally meaningful focus from a broad foundation of conceptual understanding. “The curriculum is designed to begin with an overview of research through a guided investigation of scientific publications,” explains Dr. Norin. Students annotated and presented to the class a peer-reviewed article on a research area of interest and then wrote a comprehensive literature review on the topic.

“After securing an internship, students then learned experimental design and analysis to foster a deeper understanding of their area of interest and provide hands-on practice using equipment, experimental protocols, and computer programs with the goal of making their summer lab experience more familiar,” Norin continues.

As a biology teacher with years of research lab experience and a doctorate in ecology and evolution, Norin is an invaluable resource for students with interests in the life sciences. And where Norin’s scientific experience ends, others on the PDS science team offer their expertise, many at the Ph.D. and medical professional level – including civil engineering, chemical engineering and organic chemistry, to name a few.

Students spent the second semester designing and executing their own experiments enabling them to hone and apply their research skills in anticipation of their upcoming internship work.

Generally, temperatures exceeding 35ºC in the habitats of Manduca sexta have been shown to affect many aspects of larval life, such as development and survivorship (Kingsolver R2 et al., 2016). Manduca larvae have developed different methods of countering the effects that variable or extreme temperatures can have on their physiological processes Ph (Kingsolver et al, 2016; Casey, 1976).

Eleanor Myers interned with Dr. Daphne Munroe in the Department of Marine & Coastal Sciences at the Haskin Shellfish Research Laboratory at Rutgers University researching the swimming characteristics of blue crab larvae and whether there is a relationship between blue crab larvae morphology and swimming ability.

The Relationship Between Blue Crab (Callinectes sapidus) Larval Morphology and Swimming Ability Among Different Broods Eleanor Myers, Joseph Caracappa, and Daphne Munroe, PhD Rutgers University, Haskin Shellfish Research Laboratory

Background

The blue crab (Callinectes sapidus) fishery is important but volatile, as there can be big swings in population between years.

Blue crab larvae are typically found at the water’s surface, so they need to swim against gravity throughout development since they are denser than water. Blue crabs also show no clear vertical migration pattern (Lopez-Duarte, 2007). A very small fraction of larvae survive untill adulthood, which can make research difficult. Research on blue crab larval swimming behavior is limited. However, morphology is related to larval swimming ability, and maternal effects on morphology in another species of crab have been observed (Tamura, 2017).

This study investigates the maternal effects on swimming ability and the relationship between morphology and swimming ability.

Research Questions A. Is there a difference between the swimming ability of larvae from different broods?

B. Is there a correlation between larval morphology and swimming ability?

Conclusions 1. Swimming ability is variable and not a consistent pattern.

This was seen in swimming tracks through calculations of swimming ability.

2. There are differences in swimming ability between different mothers’ broods.

3. Swimming ability and morphology may be correlated.

This correlation is generally positive, meaning that generally, as larvae get bigger they swim faster.

Future Directions

● The data found is very preliminary, but with more broods studied, a more significant conclusion may be made. ● Future data may determine if one brood has a higher chance of survival than another brood, which may help to answer the question of why the blue crab fishery is so volatile.

Methods

An aquarium was set up to record the larvae swimming with an underwater digital camera in the dark. The larvae of three broods (IDs F37, F38, and F40) were recorded, with three videos for each brood and 15 minutes per video. Tracker was then used to measure larval movement and calculate larval velocities. The swimming behavior of 60 larvae per brood was measured. Larval morphology was measured using ImageJ. The morphology of 10 larvae was measured per video for a total of 30 larvae per brood.

Figure 2: Linear regressions between morphological characteristics (top row: Body Length, Abdomen Length, 1st Swim Appendage Length, 2nd Swim Appendage Length, Rostro-Dorsal Length, bottom row: Body Volume, Abdomen Volume) and behavioral characteristics (Left: average velocity, middle: positive velocity, right: negative velocity). These show a potential correlation between morphology and swimming behavior, but more broods are needed to be certain. Significance was not tested for this data because the sample size was too small. Generally, a positive correlation is shown between morphology and swimming velocity, so larger larvae swim faster.

Background

Methods

Receptors for advanced glycation endproducts (RAGE) are known to be involved in inflammation in response to particulate matter (PM) exposure. The membrane-bound form is located on macrophages, which, when stressed, are central to the inflammatory response.

Human lungs are made primarily of alveolar macrophages (AMΦ). Previous studies have shown that THP-1 cells differentiated with phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA) have a similar phenotype to human AMΦ, thus serving as an accurate model.

Lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) is an oxidative product of low-density lipoprotein (LDL). LPA is a known ligand of RAGE and an identified biomarker for WTC-LI in the FDNY cohort.

Objectives

To examine the role of RAGE in the inflammatory response to PM exposure and suggest possible inflammatory pathways. We first compared differentiated THP-1 cells to RAW cells to show that human AMΦ and mouse PMΦ phenotypes are similar. Then we compared Wild Type (WT) and Ager knockout (Ager-/-) mouse peritoneal macrophages (PMΦ) to determine the role of RAGE in human AMΦ.

Results

For ALL Exposures - Media supplemented with 2-mM Lglutamine, 10%-FBS, 100 U/mL penicillin, and 100µg/mL streptomycin - Incubated at 37°C and 5% CO2 - Cell viability assessed by Trypan Blue exclusion - THP-1 cells differentiated with 20 ng/mL PMA for 72 (AMΦ phenotype) - plated in a 12-well plate at 1x106 cells/mL - 24 hr timepoints, in triplicate, as follows: PBS, 100 μg/mL WTC-PM53, 500 μM LPA, and WTC-PM53+LPA.

Figure 2. RAW cell expression after exposure to PM, LPA, and PM+LPA. (A-D) WTC-PM significantly increased IL1α, IL-10, TNF-α, and KC expression relative to baseline PBS exposure.

(A-C) WTC-PM+LPA induced synergistic increases in IL-1α, IL-10, and TNF-α expression.

(E) Independent exposures to PM and LPA slightly decreased p-Akt, p-STAT3, and STAT5b expression. Co-exposure attenuated all three transcription factors.

(F-G) Independent PM and LPA exposures increased RAGE expression relative to expression in media alone. Coexposure had an additive effect on RAGE elaboration.

Chemokine/Cytokine Quantification and Analysis - Cells lysed in NP-40 lysis buffer, centrifuged to remove debris - Polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis performed on proteins to probe for RAGE, PPAR-γ, Actin, JNK, p-Akt, p-STAT3, STAT5b, and GAPDH - Supernatants assayed using Human Cytokine Panel I (Millipore) in Luminex200IS (Luminex)

We could then apply our findings in the context of the FDNY cohort through a MultiOMIC (Metabolomics and Chemome) Integrated Biomarker Analysis.

Methods Cell Culture Murine PMΦ Isolation.

- Female C57BLK/6 WT and Ager-/- injected with 3 mL-3% thioglycolate IP - 72 hrs later, PMΦ obtained by peritoneal lavage Cell Lines.

- THP-1 cells cultured in RPMI1640 - RAW 264.7 cells cultured in DMEM

In order to understand the function of proteins, an understanding of their three dimensional structure must first be obtained. Since proteins begin as linear chains of amino acids and must actively fold to conform to their three dimensional structure, it is of keen interest to researchers to elucidate the specific pathway by which a protein folds into its three dimensional shape. To do so in a laboratory setting, researchers often employ denaturants and the principle of hydrogen exchange to observe the unfolding reactions of a protein in an effort to reverse engineer the protein’s folding pathway. In the 1990s, the Englander Lab used denaturant dependent reactions and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (NMR) to elucidate the folding pathway of equine cytochrome c (cytC), and observed that cytC folds via a series of partially unfolded subglobal peptide regions1. The research presented here attempts to determine whether or not hydrogen exchange mass spectrometry (HX-MS) can be used in denaturant-dependent exchange reactions. No conclusions were drawn due to a lack of data.

(F) 1,5 When exposed to media alone, p-Akt, pSTAT3, and STAT5b are similarly expressed in WT MPMΦ. In Ager-/- MPMΦ, p-Akt is almost completely gone, while p-STAT3 and STAT5b are amplified. 2,6 When exposed to PM, WT MPMΦ exhibited expression of p-Akt, while Ager-/- MPMΦ did not. 4,8 WT MPMΦ subject to co-exposure exhibited decreases in all three transcription factors, while Ager-/- MPMΦ induced p-Akt expression.

Results

The data we obtained neither confirmed nor denied the feasibility of the hydrogen exchange mass spectrometry method; thus, no conclusions were drawn.

Methods Research question: Can hydrogen exchange mass spectrometry be used in conjunction with denaturant dependent exchange reactions?

Solutions of cytC (pH 7) were prepared with phosphate buffer and guanidine hydrochloride, a protein denaturant. Samples were then mixed with D2O (ph7) and allowed to exchange for a given amount of time. Samples were then quenched to pH 2.5 and injected into an HPLC apparatus, wherein proteins were cut into peptides and injected into a mass spectrometer. Data was gathered and analyzed using ExMS—software developed in-house by the Englander Lab.

Exposure to PM causes inflammation in human AMΦ. Through these experiments we were able to show a similarity between in vitro human AMΦ and mouse PMΦ, and then compare ex vivo murine MΦ with and without the RAGE gene to determine the role of RAGE in the inflammation pathway. This Ager-/- murine model (exposed to WTC-PM53, LPA500μM, and co-exposure) shows that RAGE plays a key role in both the JNK/STAT and the PI3K/Akt/mTOR pathways.

(A,E) GM-CSF, IL-10, and MIP-1α do not display synergy, but show increased expression in PM+LPA compare to PM exposure alone.

(F) 2,3 WTC-PM induced greater upregulation of PPARγ than of RAGE; LPA induced greater upregulation of RAGE than of PPARγ.

Abstract

Implications of Findings

Future Directions

The fact that our data was not conclusive suggests that more experiments need to be run at differing denaturant concentrations.

In order to draw conclusions as to the efficacy of hydrogen exchange mass spectrometry in conjugation with denaturant-dependent reactions, more experimentation is necessary.

However, if this further experimentation shows that the hydrogen exchange mass spectrometry method works with denaturant-dependent reactions, HS-MX can then be applied to other proteins.

In order to preserve 3 dimensional features, a method of perfusion fixation is used. Perfusion uses the organ’s own circulatory system to distribute fixative.

Furthermore, the fixative can be delivered at physiologic blood pressure to maintain the size and shape of blood vessels. In the present case, we utilize an inexpensive method for perfusion fixation of whole swine liver. We propose that perfusion fixation under constant physiological pressure can produce tissue specimen that are more representative of in situ conditions.

1) c-Fos+ cells were quantified automatically using ImageJ software.

2) Each brain slice was coordinated and aligned to a standard whole brain map using R Studios and Whole Brain Software.

3) These coordinates were then aligned to the cell counts, such that cell counts can be retrieved from different regions of the brain (notably CA1, CA3, and DG).

1.

Stimulation of an aversive contextual memory trace did not rescue CFC memory impairment in female AD mice.

2.

Further research into assessing the encoding and retrieval cell overlap is required to determine whether the source of the behavioral difference in 6 mo. AD female mice resides in encoding or retrieval.

3.

Optogenetic stimulation of brain regions besides the DG is required to test the hypotheses of divergent encoding location.

A study conducted at Johns Hopkins Hospital explored the effects of early liver transplantation on patients with severe alcoholic hepatitis. The program included 43 patients, 17 with severe AH as the experimental group, and 26 with alcoholic cirrhosis (AC) and a 6 month period of alcohol abstinence as the control group. The results showed that early LT has a great short-term survival and similar rates of alcohol relapse between the two groups.

Introduction Alcoholic liver diseases, a term for liver injuries due to alcohol over consumption, includes a wide spectrum of prevalent manifestations such as steatosis, steatohepatitis, fibrosis, and cirrhosis. Alcoholic hepatitis (AH) is one of the most deadliest complications associated with alcoholic liver diseases, and yet it seldom results in early liver transplantations (LT) because of most centers’ requirement of 6 months of alcohol abstinence prior to LT.

Previous behavioral studies demonstrate that females did not exhibit the same memory rescue as did male mice upon optogenetic stimulation.

CFC Encoding

Introduction Chemical fixation is a process used to preserve biological tissues during the preparation of histological study. While the most common method of fixation is immersion of the tissue in a fixative solution, this method is difficult to apply to large specimens particularly whole organs. Once fixed the organ is cut or sectioned into pieces for histologic examination with a microscope. This process changes the gross features and 3 dimensional structures. Immersion fixation does not allow for comparison of in situ imaging by CT or MRI scan with the ex vivo organ.

Lydia Wu FALL 2018

A summer unlike any other so far A summer unlike any other so far

“The summer internships were absolute game changers,” Norin shares. “The students anticipated challenging and inspiring lab experiences, of course, but it went so far beyond what any of them expected. They came back with incredible perspective and such a meaningful sense of accomplishment, as well as a real understanding of how far they might go if they continue in this direction.”

Raina’s updates during and after her internship powerfully make Norin’s point. From being temporarily sidelined by a malfunctioning NMR machine in the lab to sweating through a presentation in front of fellow research scientists, she strode through her comfort zone into new territory.

“So far, I’ve synthesized lots of starting materials - have made dienes and Schiff bases. Now working on reacting them and optimizing the reactions using different catalysts, ligands, temperatures, etc. Since last week have been able to do everything on my own (yay I’m learning!),” Raina wrote this summer on the group’s private Instagram page.

“Came in knowing so much more than expected (thanks Dr. Gadd!) and am learning all these new lab techniques... all the people in the lab (and people outside of the lab) are amazing!” she continued. “Also got to give a presentation last week with some undergrads as part of a Duke summer fellowship program and learned how tough it is to talk about science (while using correct words and phrases) to scientists who are doing the exact research you are doing.”

Back at PDS, Raina described her personal transformation: “My experience this summer resulted in a huge amount of personal growth…living alone, driving to campus, grocery stores, etc., and cooking and taking care of myself was something completely new to me…This summer gave me the opportunity to really open up and be myself. I spoke with professors, graduate students, and undergraduate students, and formed many new friendships while at Duke. Participating in current research and hearing about other students’ projects during the ChemSURF program also showed me the wide variety of areas available to explore in chemistry. I never knew what sorts of problems were being worked on in the scientific community and how scientists approach problems deemed ‘unsolvable’.”

And consider this snapshot of a growth journey, from Walt, who surpassed his own expectations right off the bat by successfully driving 12 hours in his ailing car to get to the Kingsolver lab: “Day 2…currently doing some IR and digital image editing. Not necessarily the most fun thing, going through dozens of pictures and cropping them in a very trial-and-error sort of fashion, but hey! that’s science. I love it here. They also have butterflies EVERYWHERE. And really cool balances.”

JOURNAL

Several days later, he added, “...Still working through infrared photo analysis. However, in the time it’s taken me to finish it up I’ve discovered a lot of new music that I like. Music is nice when you’re working. I’m running an experiment on my own today since Aimee Deconinck, the grad student I’m working under, is out. It’s going pretty well. Testing whether parasitized M. sexta caterpillars in their late instars will move to different temperatures (analyzing their behavior).”

This fall, Walt came to an important realization about what he sees in his future: “Research is a lot of work. A LOT of work, and a lot of responsibility to do that work. I still struggle with focusing on data collection, even after nearly two months of doing it nearly every day, but... when you can make discoveries and can actually pull significant conclusions out of a set of numbers, it’s very rewarding. That’s what I aim to do with my future. Maybe it won’t be with caterpillars, but whatever I do will end up being about discovery and learning.”

I knew they could handle it “I knew they could handle it”

While the number of students per REx cohort is small, it’s also a key reason why the REx program works so well. “Seven students is an intimate, yet manageable group, since it is seven independent studies, which last year were incredibly diverse and complex – two ecology projects, one chemistry project, one environmental health, three medicine,” Norin elaborates.

“They came with very different skills sets and motivation.”

Norin never doubted the outcomes. “I wanted to inject the energy and experiential components that I saw in grad school to satisfy the hungriest science students here, because I knew they could handle it and I knew they could be successful doing it,” she explains. (Half of those selected were AP biology students last year; half will be AP biology students this year.)

“It ultimately became this truly amazing peer-oriented and supportive environment — more like a graduate seminar than a high school class. As an instructor, I can only teach them so much,” Norin concludes. “It’s important for the students to build their own experience and participate as leaders and collaborators within their class. We’ve designed a really creative and innovative ‘space’ for them to pursue their investigations rather than a prescribed curriculum. We really dove deep into our ethical ideas and scientific philosophies. These seven students have grown by leaps and bounds, connecting with post-docs and professors and universities, which will help them chart their future course. I’m so proud of them.”

With these impressive founding members as supportive mentors augmenting REx’s formidable array of faculty project advisors, this year’s new group of REx students are poised for an unforgettable and life-shaping journey into the world of scientific discovery. And, just as in a successfully structured lab study, the REx model will self-replicate as they, in turn, bring to bear their learning on next year’s Research Experience seekers.

THE NATURE OF CHANGE: How Creative Intention Becomes Program Design at PDS Throughout the summer, a mix of cross-divisional and crossdepartmental administrators and teachers from the Lower and Middle School met regularly and worked collaboratively to develop program enhancements across the STEAM disciplines.

The group, known as the Innovation for Impact Task Force, “came out of a collective desire to maximize student engagement in science, technology, math, and engineering experiences,” says 5th–12th grade science chair Jason Park.

“We’re not just innovating for innovation’s sake, we’re pursuing innovation for real-world problem-solving,” he adds.

The Science Department has led the way with their commitment to transforming the science program experience for students across grades with inquiry-based, applied science curricula. “As a team, we redesigned multiple programs to help students tap into their interests and passions as they build a framework to understand science and apply it,” Park explains.

New and redesigned science courses already in place include: a STEAMinar for all 9th graders; a new Upper School robotics and information processing elective; an 8th grade physical science curriculum with inquiry-based and constructivist approaches to applying physics principles and chemistry; a 6th grade life science curriculum animated by an advanced level of student-inspired garden research projects; and the redesigned 5th grade science curriculum focused on innovation experiences in neuroscience and sustainability, and culminating in a Make a Difference innovation fair (with projects designed to address a community problem or societal challenge). In the Lower School, every grade delved into a seven-week STEAM elective last year, and this year homeroom teachers are thematically connecting more of their existing curriculum to innovation projects.

Across academic disciplines and grade levels, the operating principle is for students to learn skills in the context of solving specific challenges. In the humanities, for example, design thinking can be utilized for looking to the past as a way to connect to present-day problem-solving; and in math, innovation and design could be applied to the geometry of

bridge building and the algebra of projectile motion. Says Park, “We’re building the foundation now and inviting others to take advantage of the space and faculty support to institute innovation efforts into their current curriculum. The goal is for each grade level to experience the innovation space across a spectrum of academic disciplines.”

REx program director Dr. Carrie Norin adds: “The science class model is very clear, but it can be used as a springboard for other departments across the School. With very small adjustments, disciplines from the visual arts and design to English, humanities and math can develop similar in-school and in-the-field experiences for their students. And that’s exactly what’s happening. The English department is already discussing how to implement some of these same ideas into their curriculum.”

In program development, measuring progress involves tracking course enrollment numbers and measuring satisfaction and outcomes, including tracking college program choices, types of schools and majors. Park notes, “In the science department, for example, we track how many students are taking science and STEAM electives and how many STEAM-related club interests have emerged.”

Many faculty track their annual assessments and note how students are learning and what they’re learning relative to how they used to learn. There are bigger metrics, of course, which testify to the School’s program value and community energy, including the number of applicants and the rate of enrollment – both of which have always been high and have risen even more.

Park concludes, “At PDS, there’s agreement that for a growth mindset to be realized, it has to be lived. Going through the process of iterating, revising, benchmarking, designing and redesigning curriculum benefits our faculty tremendously. And the bottom line always comes back to the students: Everything we push ourselves to develop benefits our kids. They’re the ones at the center of all program design.”

5 KEYS TO STANDOUT PROGRAM DEVELOPMENT AT PDS from Science Chair Jason Park • Faculty and leadership commitment to teaching students how to use content to innovate, experiment, identify and expand their own inquiries.

• Demonstrable progress elevating quality and impact, e.g., development of a STEAM initiative and dedicated STEAM space, re-imagined visual and performing arts facilities, English and humanities revitalization centered around Shepherd Commons, Miss Fine’s Center, faculty Fellows and other actively pursued professional development opportunities.

• A learning environment that embraces students and adults for being individuals and gives each community member the space to flourish and really delve into who you are and can be.

• A focus on alignment, both vertically and horizontally, to create a thoughtful, visible curriculum that builds from Lower through Upper School with a comparable and consistent student experience across any grade.

• Hiring with intention to support the growth of our existing faculty; adding new faculty members who also strongly believe in facilitating fully-engaged, student-directed education, and who bring a range of different strengths, skill sets and experiences.

FALL REFLECTIONS: Looking back on life in the lab… the lab and the current work, I soon learned how to create my own tasks and actually contribute to what was going on around me. I also quickly made friends with the other people in my lab. Also, living alone in the city made me extremely independent.

by myself via public transit, working long hours most days, all of these experiences, while they were often difficult and stressful, ultimately made me more independent and more ready to tackle the challenges I will face as I get older. Additionally, I created incredibly deep relationships with my research mentors.

Twiggs Spacelab will integrate the PDS satellites into the Wallops Flight Facility’s launch mission, and students will collect their own satellites’ real-time data sent from orbit.

Congratulations to the following Upper School students on being selected for and participating in the PDS ThinSat program: Benjamin Bigdelle ’21 Matan Blitz ’21

PDS ThinSAT aims to advance STEAM education with a particular focus on science, technology and engineering. The partnership with Princeton is fueled by a grant to the University and spearheaded by Michael B. Galvin, Senior Technical Support and Mechanical Engineer in Princeton’s Mechanical & Aerospace Engineering department. Partnership collaborators in addition to Princeton University bring phenomenal resources and expertise, including: Twiggs and Wallops, Virginia Space, NASA, Orbital ATK, NearSpace Launch, Inc., XinaBox, and even the U.S. Navy and Coast Guard. The mission: students will design “thin” satellites to collect data on extreme-low-earth-orbit space, an under-explored space environment given the short lifecycle of matter there.

As they prepare their satellites for launch and space flight in an Antares rocket, the PDS ThinSat student teams and faculty will participate in weekly meetings with Princeton University ThinSat Team members. In October, students attended their first meeting with lead Princeton University mentor Michael Galvin. Galvin joined the PDS faculty team overseeing the ThinSat program: ThinSat Chief Engineer Jonathan Tatkcon-Coker, Chief Scientist Alana Allen and Chief Computer Scientist Dr. Theodor Brasoveanu.

“Princeton University’s ThinSat partnership with PDS is unique among independent schools,” Tatkon-Coker explains, adding that only Princeton Day School and one public school, Princeton High School, were selected to participate in the partnership. TatkonCoker continues, “Mike Galvin’s guidance adds so much value to the PDS ThinSat student experience.” Galvin has been a key resource in Tatkon-Coker’s meticulous development of the student-led, team-based PDS ThinSat Program. Stay tuned for updates!

LETTER FROM THE

Rebecca Bushnell ’70

Chair of the Board of Trustees

The Board of Trustees gathered in September for their first meeting of the 2018–19 school year.

When they arrived back to Princeton Day School this fall, our Upper School students were surely surprised and delighted by the revitalized Shepherd Commons and sparkling new classrooms and offices for English and History. Enlivened by natural light and bright colors, this inviting space encourages students to chat and work together and provides our humanities faculty a state-of-the art environment and technology for their teaching (humanists need technology, too).

I have allowed myself to wonder what Anne Shepherd herself would have thought of it all. Anne Shepherd was a legendary English teacher who, for 44 years, inspired generations of students at both Miss Fine’s School and Princeton Day School. And she was my English teacher, too, in my senior year. Anne was a bundle of energy, passionately devoted to literature and her students. For her, of course, reading and writing involved physical books and a typewriter or pen, and so she might be puzzled by the whiteboards and laptops now integral to how learning takes place here today.

But I think she would have been thrilled with this space, so full of light, and so well adapted to the new work habits of our teachers and students.

On the Board of Trustees, we talk a lot about how to provide an exceptional experience to all students in grades PreK-12.

Their educational experience must be all-encompassing, involving relationships with their teachers and advisors, the academic programs we offer across divisions, the broad extracurricular opportunities, and the commitment to providing a safe and nurturing environment in which students are challenged, but also supported. These principles have long sustained a PDS education, but we are always rethinking how best to deliver this in changing times to a new generation. We know that in today’s often overstressed and over-programmed world, we need to offer children the time and space to explore, invent, create, fail and try again.

The immediate destination after PDS is college, of course. We want to make sure that our students are attending the right institution for themselves, and are not only prepared academically, but mentally and emotionally as well. We can do this because we come to know these children year by year. Even in the relatively short time of three JOURNAL

years that I was here, my own teachers, including Anne Shepherd, helped me identify and cultivate the passions that led me to my career and still drive me today. Every child’s experience is different, but what makes PDS special is that students from all different backgrounds with diverse interests can thrive here.

Teaching today also means not just getting students to master specific subjects, but also helping them to learn how to think in new ways, crossing traditional boundaries of knowledge. In the last several years, the School has benefitted greatly from initiatives focused on evolving education: for example, the Miss Fine’s Center for Interdisciplinary Studies where we help faculty design programs that cross over the traditional silos of the discipline; the new STEAM Center unveiled last year in the Upper School and reinvigorated STEAM programming in the Lower School, which offer our students innovative new programs in science, engineering and arts; and the DaVinci program in the Middle School. We are knocking down walls, both literally and figuratively, in order to ensure our academic program is as rigorous as ever, but also dynamic and relevant.

As the STEAM Center and the new Shepherd Commons demonstrate, teaching students to think and learn in new ways requires space as well as time. New programs and courses defined the STEAM Center, but the program would not be possible without the technology and physical environment of that center. When the Board proposes new facilities, questions about how that space will enhance the students’ lives and the work of our faculty always come first: how will this transform the student experience and represent Princeton Day School at its best? In the coming months, the School hopes to advance ambitious plans for new spaces and buildings that promise to impact every student. We have a lot of challenges still ahead as we forge a path to build both programs and facilities, but I know that with wise leadership and the support of the entire School community we will achieve our goals.

Welcome New Trustees Princeton Day School is proud to announce four new members of the Board of Trustees who will serve their first term this year. At the Board’s first meeting in September, Chair of the Board and alumna Rebecca Bushnell ’70 welcomed the new members, observing, “We are so fortunate to have such a talented group of new trustees. Each will bring a different background and new perspective to the important work we do throughout the year.”

Chair of the Board Rebecca Bushnell ’70 with Head of School Paul Stellato and new Trustees Alanna Bocklage P ’26, ’29, Sanford Bing h ’87, Anita Gupta P ’26, ’29, and Jacob Silverman ’89.

Sanford “Sandy” Bing h ’87 has innumerable ties to the School, including serving as a former faculty member, administrator, past parent and past trustee. Daughter Hilary Butera ’81 and son Andrew Bing ’84 also claim Princeton Day School as their own.

Mr. Bing earned his A.B. in Biology from Lafayette College, then pursued graduate studies in chemistry at UCLA and the University of Northern Colorado before receiving his M.A. in Educational Administration from Rutgers University. A resident of Pennington, Bing began his independent school career in 1960 as a chemistry and biology teacher at the Hun School, later becoming Dean of Students, then Director of Admissions. In 1969, along with his wife Iris Bing P ’81, ’84 and children, Sandy joined Princeton Day School as Head of the Upper School, serving in that position for 18 years, including two during which he was acting headmaster (1982 and 1985). In 1987, he helped form the Princeton Educational Resource Center, a not-forprofit consulting center. Bing later returned full time to independent school life at Stuart Country Day School of the Sacred Heart, where he served for eight years as Dean of Faculty. As a testament to his years of dedication to Princeton Day School, Sandy became an honorary member of the Class of 1987, and the Class of 1980 created a named endowment to honor the central role he played in their lives as students. The Class of 1980 Sandy Bing Scholarship Fund supports PDS students in need of financial assistance.

Alanna Bocklage P ’26, ’29 is a current parent, with her husband Chandler Bocklage P ’26, ’29, of two children at Princeton Day School since 2014. Alanna graduated with a B.A. in Psychology from Barnard College and went on to earn a M.S.Ed. in Counseling and Personnel Services from Fordham University. She has held administrative positions at Mt. Sinai Hospital’s Adolescent School-Based Health Centers and St. Luke’s-Roosevelt Hospital’s Outpatient Psychiatry Department, in addition to elementary-level teaching at a Bronx public school with the NYC Teaching Fellows Program. Bocklage is the consummate community builder who was an active volunteer for The Junior League of the City of New York and for the past four years, a dynamic presence at Princeton Day School through Parent Ambassadors, which she has chaired, the PA Governing Board, Annual Fund involvement, and as a volunteer for Book Fair and Friends of the PDS Libraries. A resident of Princeton, she joins the Board of Trustees as the President Elect of the Parent Association this year.

Anita Gupta P ’26, ’29 is a current parent, with her husband Sanjeev Srinivas P ’26, ’29, of two sons at Princeton Day School since 2015.

Dr. Gupta, a Princeton resident, is a board-certified anesthesiologist, pain specialist and pharmacologist with a Master’s in Public Policy and a certificate in health policy from Princeton University’s Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs. She is currently Senior Vice President at Heron Therapeutics and a Scholar at Georgetown University School of Medicine. She is the former FDA Advisor and the Vice Chair, Division of Pain Medicine & Regional Anesthesiology, and Associate Professor, Department of Anesthesiology at Drexel University College of Medicine. She completed her Doctorate in Pharmacy at Rutgers, her medical degree at UMDNJ, her residency in anesthesiology at Georgetown University, and her clinical scientist training at National Institutes of Health.

Following residency, Dr. Gupta completed a pain fellowship at Johns Hopkins University. She has also published several books with Oxford University Press and has been a founding fellow of the Institute of Coaching at Harvard Medical School, and also completed professional education both at the Wharton School and Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

Jacob “Jake” Silverman ’89 is a Princeton Day School alumnus whose parents also championed the School. Both his late father Ira, and his mother Jane MFS ’63, served terms on the School’s Board of Trustees.

After graduation, Mr. Silverman attended Harvard University, where he earned his B.A. and M.B.A. Residing in New York City and married to Katie Silverman, Jake joined Duff & Phelps in 2004, where he served as Chief Financial Officer and later became their head of investment banking. In 2013, Silverman was appointed President of Duff & Phelps. He worked with Stone Ridge Partners LLC, a mergers and acquisitions advisory firm, prior to joining Duff & Phelps.

Silverman joined Stone Ridge Partners from Atomica Corporation, a venture-backed enterprise software company, where he served as Vice President of Finance and acting CFO. Prior to Atomica, he worked for Oak Hill Advisors, a private investment firm.

Reflecting on the new board members, Head of School Paul Stellato concludes, “For its most recent class of trustees, Princeton Day has drawn deeply from the parent, alumni, and former-faculty communities. In doing so, it adds to its ranks immense talent, diversity of experience, and richness of perspective of and about our School. In welcoming them all, we look forward to their participation, camaraderie, and leadership.”

The PRINCETON DAY SCHOOL Board of Trustees promotes the School’s mission, appoints and oversees the Head of School, establishes broad policies, plans strategically for the School’s future, and develops and stewards the School’s financial and capital resources. Composed of 25 members, including the Head of School, the Board of Trustees meets four times each year. Members, who serve three-year terms, are drawn from a variety of constituencies, including alumni, current and past parents and grandparents, and other friends of the School. The work of the Board is completed through its standing committees, each of which meets regularly through the school year.

PDS PRODUCES UNEXPECTED HARVEST Marking the 10th year of a uniquely rewarding learning experience

As any parent knows, it can be a battle to get a child to make healthy food choices.

So why are so many Princeton Day School Lower Schoolers suddenly eating, and enjoying, all kinds of fruits and vegetables? The answer can be found tucked away past the playground in the School’s luxuriant garden—a magical place that provides nutritional bounty and novel hands-on learning experiences.

“The children rush in there as if it’s a candy store,” marvels First Grade teacher Karen Pike. “I just did not expect them to be clamoring for kale!”

FALL 2017

The PDS garden’s award-winning programs span learning disciplines and grade levels and have transformed the way students care for the campus and view the world around them. The organic garden stands as a living testament to the School’s commitment to sustainability, stewardship and the education of the whole child. Since the first 23 raised planting beds were built by volunteers 10 years ago, the area has expanded to include Kristy’s Meadow (vast, verdant and filled with wildflowers), fruit trees, a composting site, two clay ovens, three beehives and a spectacular brood of chickens. An invaluable and atmospheric outdoor learning center is a key added resource: the Alberto Petrella Garden Classroom, where students can study, prepare and dine on the food they produce in an outdoor kitchen with ample tables and seating.

“It’s so exciting when you see this kid who’s been invisible and all of a sudden, out here, he’s finding some supercool thing and holding it in his hand and showing it to the other kids and, suddenly, they see him as a leader.”

Pam Flory, Garden Coordinator

“We’re living in a world where people don’t go outside the way they used to,” says Sustainability Coordinator Liz Cutler, who enlisted the help of students, parents, faculty and staff to bring the garden project to fruition.

“The goal is for kids to fall in love with the earth and develop ecological thinking, to understand that everything’s connected, to learn how to be a steward of the land. We also want it to be a place where they can participate actively in learning how to cooperate and work together, how to get their hands dirty, use tools, put things away, clean up after themselves.”

“You can’t believe the impact the garden has on Lower School kids’ lives. They learn so much and

they just love it. They’ll try every kind of vegetable; they’ll just gobble them up.”

Emily Gallagher, First Grade teacher

JOURNAL

“We’re expecting these kids to make a difference in the world and care about climate change and

glaciers melting and all that, and yet they have no connection to those things. I think the garden is a great introduction to those issues. If you don’t love something, you don’t take care of it.”

Aaron Schomburg, Lower School Science Curriculum Coordinator

Garden Coordinator Pam Flory has guided the program almost since its inception and partners with faculty to design courses that complement their teaching. “It brings a subject to life when you’re out here reading Shakespeare in the Shakespeare Garden or learning the metric system by measuring how many centimeters the beans you planted have grown,” she says.

The garden’s impact grows exponentially as it celebrates its 10th anniversary: many alumni are making college and career choices that reflect the sustainability and stewardship interests they developed there. “If we can teach kids to fall in love with nature, their choices later on in life will be different,” Ms. Flory says. “The people making policy are going to think about it differently. We have kids here who are going to be the heads of businesses, they’re going to be in government, technology, and we want them to have this environmental memory. What a great opportunity, what a gift we give these kids to learn about the world this way.”

Princeton Day School community members gather in October 2018 for the 10th Garden Anniversary Harvest Festival

Connecting to What Sustains Us A Garden Alumnus Reflects on the Harvest Festival

Students, faculty and their families walk between the sunflowers. Lower Schoolers dance around rows of kale as the band plays faster. Chef Mason works with EnAct Club students to refill tables with food and pizza. Garlic bread exits the garden oven to enter the mouths of hungry revelers.

This year, for its 10th anniversary, the Harvest Festival is outside celebrating not just the garden and the harvest but the PDS community.

Over the past decade, students from PreK through 12 and parents have shared in great food, music and garden scenery every fall. Some students who were in the Lower School when the event first began have grown to be juniors and seniors in the Upper School. In the past, after the a cappella groups sang, guests would leave the garden for the Campus Center to eat dinner, but this year, as day turns into night, people grab a plate and walk around the wildflower meadow and chicken coop.

I’ve been attending the Harvest Festival in different ways for seven years. First, I was an eager 8th grader, wanting to be involved in sustainability in the Upper School, and now I am an alumni guest watching the community that started before me continue to grow after me. From student eco-presentations to pizza, Upper Schoolers lead not for a grade or accolade but to connect people to their food and to each other. The Harvest Festival and the garden program connect the long hours of school to the real world.

Lights around the garden twinkle on and a fire crackles. Little Panthers huddle for warmth with bags of popcorn in front of the big screen. A film plays about not just what people can do to protect the environment, but what kids can do. The little Panthers stare wide eyed while Upper Schoolers carry on running the event. Over the next 10 years they’ll still be wide-eyed, but they’ll be leading, too.

First Female NFL Films Staff Cinematographer Always Game

Hannah Epstein ‘08 at work for NFL Films

Hannah Epstein ’08 Embraced Everything PDS Had to Offer Hannah Epstein is rolling through her sixth year at NFL Films, having moved from intern to camera prep technician to cinematographer – quietly making history as NFL Films’ first female staff cinematographer.

Epstein is in her element behind the lens, racing time and a host of challenges to capture the unscripted and indescribable.

Her enthralling NFL cinematography offers insightful visual distillations in which powerful human emotions and intentions often collide, literally and figuratively. Not only are her angles and coverage exceptionally artistic, she also unerringly takes us

into the minds and hearts of her subjects, expanding our own in the process. To view her work is to realize, with a growing sense of awe, that one has somehow stepped out of self and into another’s gripping journey, whether for a moment or an hour.

Epstein considers herself the new kid on the NFL Films block, but she’s already shot six consecutive Super Bowls and worked as part of the Emmy Award-winning camera crew on the HBO series, Hard Knocks, about the trials and joys of the team-building process during NFL summer FALL 2018

football camp. She’s an integral crew member who travels at least six months out of the year covering NFL games, teams and players, on and off the field. “Pretty much every week my wife, Terri, and I see something Hannah has done on TV,” her father Jonathan (Jon) shares. “Oftentimes, we can tell it’s her by the distinctly artistic approach, and we’ll say to each other, ‘That must be Hannah.’ And we love it when we get confirmation from Hannah that we were right.”

A goal-seeker who brings out the best in others along the way Only 10 years ago, Hannah was a senior at Princeton Day School who threw herself wholeheartedly into her extensive interests, which included advanced academic studies, multiple sports, singing with the a cappella groups, photography and a wealth of deep friendships. The focus was on finishing strong and getting to college, not narrowing down a career choice. And that was as it should have been. As her family, friends and teachers all knew without a doubt, whether as an undergraduate or afterward, Hannah would define a career choice with passion and make it happen.

“I discovered that cinematography was what I wanted to do... an extension of the still photography I loved, with the added challenge of capturing movement.”

By her senior year of college, Epstein had homed in on what she considered a must-have internship at NFL Films to develop the cinematography skills she had begun pursuing in earnest since graduating from PDS. Epstein’s father admires how Hannah achieved her vision, explaining, “Hannah figured out on her own that the best place in the country to learn the craft was NFL Films, because they had the highest standards and such a distinctively dramatic and artistic way of shooting.”

Jon continues, “She knew she would be working with and learning from some of the best people in the field if she got to NFL Films.” His voice is suffused with parental pride as he adds, “Once she landed an internship there, she quickly moved from equipment handling to getting behind the camera and, within the NFL Films’ framework and approach, honing her incredible shooting style.”

Hannah uncharacteristically stepped in front of the cameras this summer for a short video produced by NFL Films honoring her work, describing her approach this way: “We’re not just trying to capture a story, we’re trying to capture it in a beautiful way. I’m striving to be an artistic eye . . . I’m striving for perfection, which I’m obviously not going to get most of the time. But I hope that it pushes me to pay attention to details.”

Epstein’s fellow cameramen and senior producers all voice a common theme when talking of Hannah: she’s one of those incredibly talented and dedicated team players who elevates everyone’s game. Not surprisingly, these attributes JOURNAL

also resonate among all who recall Hannah during her time at Princeton Day School from 9th-12th grade.

PDS lacrosse coaching legend Jill Thomas, who coached Epstein and helped steer her toward collegiate lacrosse at Middlebury, says of Hannah: “Athletes– the really With four years of varsity lacrosse good ones who are experience at PDS, Epstein became complete athletes– a premier player recruited by lead by example. And Middlebury, a top DIII lax program.

Hannah does that.

She’s funny, too, a positive leader. Her teammates always knew that Hannah didn’t ask anything of them that she wasn’t willing to give herself, and it made everybody play harder and better.

That’s pretty key.”

A storied PDS career Epstein was a freshman varsity lacrosse starter for Thomas, with whom she had a great experience throughout her high school years at PDS. A two-sport varsity star, Epstein’s first passion was basketball, fueled while developing her skills on youth teams her father, Jon, coached. She captained both the varsity basketball and lacrosse teams and earned multiple all-prep honors in both basketball and lacrosse, the stick sport that also stole her heart as she helped bring the PDS program into the spotlight across the region. Jon shared, “I was on the basketball court standing next to Coach Thomas one day and asked her, ‘What should Hannah play in college, lacrosse or basketball?’ She turned to me and said, ‘Absolutely she’s going to play lacrosse. It’s the sport she will truly excel in at the college level.’”

“Hannah’s experience with Coach Thomas set the stage and really put her in the position where she was sought after for college lacrosse.”

—Jon Epstein, Hannah’s father

Epstein explains, “I was determined to play sports in high school, no matter where I went, and I had a wonderful experience at PDS playing both basketball and lacrosse. My lacrosse team was wildly successful, playing in county and state championships while I was there.”

Thomas reflects, “She took off with lacrosse. It wasn’t always easy.

It wasn’t given to her. She earned the right to play in college.

And she got to beat Lawrenceville, so you gotta love that!”

“Her teammates always knew that Hannah didn’t ask anything of them that she wasn’t wiling to give herself.”

—Jill Thomas, PDS Varsity Girls Lacrosse Coach

in the art world through photography and it was a great connection for us as siblings. I actually took the summer camp photography classes at PDS before I went there!”

Hannah recalls mastering the mechanics and post-production of 35mm photography, developing and processing film, and doing all of her own printing at PDS. “I remember if I had a free period I was downstairs developing film; even so, I had no idea what I was going to do in my career at that time.”

Hannah’s favorite Princeton Day School memory

Epstein explains, “Having the opportunity to take photography at PDS with such an experienced teacher was huge for me, though I didn’t realize it then. It allowed me to really develop my skills, and photography became a major interest of mine. I see now that Mrs. H. was such a big influence – she taught me all the fundamental principles of photographwy that relate directly to my work today.”

Epstein couldn’t agree more. “My favorite memory of PDS is beating Lawrenceville in lacrosse,” she reminisced. “In my time, PDS hadn’t beaten them in years. It was a big enough deal that my mom had a photo framed for Coach Thomas of our team with our arms up in victory!”

Epstein was recruited by Middlebury lacrosse coach Missy Foote –an icon in women’s sports with a win-loss record second among all head coaches in Division III history, a five-time DIII NCAA lacrosse championship winner and Intercollegiate Women’s Lacrosse Coaches Association Hall of Famer. Epstein enjoyed a great college career and played in a DIII Final Four, held in New Jersey, where Middlebury lost to top-ranked Salisbury.

“Hannah fell in love with Missy and in love with Middlebury, whose lacrosse program was one of the top DIII programs in the country at the time,” Jon explains. “Hannah’s experience with Coach Thomas set the stage and really put her in the position where she was sought after for college lacrosse.”

Hannah, her dad and Thomas all shared the same memory of how it came about. As Hannah puts it, “Coach Thomas was one of my great leaders and an important influence. My dad and I always thought I was going to play basketball in college, but Jill was right!”

Meanwhile, photography exerted its pull…

As Epstein was advancing her athletic skills, she was also embracing photography under the guidance of renowned PDS photography teacher Eileen Hohmuth-Lemonick. She had an incentive: her older brother and mentor, Harrison, took photography classes at the Arts Council of Princeton and then continued to develop his skills at Princeton Day School with Hohmuth-Lemonick. (In addition to his fulltime career in finance, he continues to pursue photography professionally today.) “We were only together at PDS for a year, but it was wonderful to have my brother as a cool senior when I was a freshman,” Hannah shares. “We overlapped

The meaning of excellence: poster for one of Hannah’s PDS mentors, Coach Jill Thomas, commemorating her 20th year at the School

Hohmuth-Lemonick has equally fond praise of Hannah: “The lengths to which Hannah would go to work at her photography – juggling all her academic demands, running back to the photography lab between lacrosse practice and a cappella group rehearsal– say a lot about her dedication and stamina. Beyond that, she was talented. She produced some great photography work at PDS and her success as a camerawoman does not surprise me.”

Finding a way to unite arts and athletics How did Epstein manage it all as a high schooler? Bringing the arts and athletics together has always been the modus operandi for Epstein and reflects the DNA of both parents, whom she clearly adores.

her many lasting friendships at PDS that last year she gave one of her Super Bowl tickets to a good friend and PDS classmate who’s a diehard Eagles fan,” he continues. “She made his year!”

“My dad was a leader for all of my athletics and my mom was a leader for music and photography – anything down the arts path. They encouraged me to do whatever I wanted to do, and I did,” says Epstein. “My dad was my basketball coach since elementary school. My mom allowed me to start taking piano lessons at age six when I asked if I could. My life has always had these parallel paths of athletics and the arts.”

Her older brother Harrison also developed his many talents at PDS, not only as a stellar photography student and captain of the golf team, but as an exceptional math mind who was a Presidential Scholar at Babson College and captain of his golf team there as well. With Harrison thriving at PDS, Hannah’s mother, Terri, suggested to Hannah that the school on the Great Road could provide exceptional opportunities across the spectrum for her as well.

Terri recalls, “Once she was accepted to PDS, I let Hannah decide what to do. And thank heavens she recognized all the positives of Harrison’s experience and chose to go. I can’t imagine how different their lives would be had they not gone to PDS. Sure, they’d be successful. They’re both smart. But their creativity was set on fire by Mrs. H. And they became such independent, self-confident thinkers. I give PDS’ teachers, coaches, courses, students and general social and learning environment a lot of credit for that.”

“My school experience only got better when I went to PDS,” Hannah admits. She recognized that in social settings, including the classroom, “if there are too many people in the room, I introvert myself and don’t speak up. If it’s a smaller setting, I feel compelled to speak my mind, and that’s what PDS gave me room to do. I loved my teachers, who really got to know me, and the small classes at PDS. “I didn’t want to go to PDS initially because I didn’t want to leave my friends in the Hopewell public school,” continues Hannah, a loyal Pennington native. “Looking back, I still have my two best friends and I gained four other best friends from PDS who are still best friends and very important to me –including PDS Kindergarten teacher Alexa Maher ‘08 and Tess Glancey ’08.” [Epstein was a member of the wedding party at Alexa’s marriage to fellow PDS teacher Eric Hove this fall and also surprised Tess at her recent engagement by covering it on camera. See Class Notes 2008.]

Jon chuckles remembering how quickly Hannah took to PDS. “Hannah clicked immediately at PDS and fully embraced some things that she fell in love with and came to excel in, which set her on her trajectory for her college years and ultimately her professional career. And it says a lot about JOURNAL

A few years ago, after the NFL films football season had concluded, Epstein had an opportunity to try out for the Israeli national lacrosse team and asked to train with her coach and the varsity squad because she hadn’t picked up a stick in a while. “So she comes here and works a month with us, lifting and on the field. And she doesn’t just train, she gives back to the program, playing with our kids every day while she was here,” says Coach Thomas. “Having Hannah train with us was great because she’s as top notch a player as it gets. And, of course, she made the team and played in the European Championship!”

Fusing interests into career: ‘I still have a game day’ Even at Middlebury, film wasn’t something Epstein initially thought she could do professionally, she says. It was something she began studying as a freshman because it interested her. A junior semester in Ireland through the NYU Tisch Study Abroad program gave Hannah her first intensive hands-on experience of making films. “I discovered that cinematography was what I wanted to do. As simple as it sounds, it was a moment of realization that film was an extension of the still photography I loved, with the added challenge of capturing movement,” Epstein explains.

“My life has always had these parallel paths of athletics and the arts.”

Once again, her drive to unite her love of arts and athletics determined her next steps. “As a sophomore, I had started looking for internships in the film world and realized it didn’t get any better than NFL Films. I actually applied for the

45

NFL Films internship three times before I got accepted. The third time, after my senior year, they finally accepted me.”

Fellow cameramen and senior producers all voice a common theme: Hannah’s one of those incredibly talented and dedicated team players who elevates everyone’s game.

“This is what Hannah is made of,” Terri notes. “She is fiercely determined with a work ethic second to none. She’s also very talented – the combination creates an alchemy for success.”

Did Epstein realize what she was up against when she determined to break into NFL Films’ all-male cinematography world? “I grew up with such supportive parents and friends and teachers and co-workers that, for me, it didn’t even factor in when I focused on NFL Films,” Hannah admits. “In fact, I didn’t have a clue that this was going to be an all-male department or a pretty much allmale environment when I applied to NFL Films for an internship.”

What would she say to young women currently at PDS pondering their career choices? “I’m doing this because I love it,” Hannah reflects. “That being said, if there’s a girl growing up who doesn’t see herself as belonging in a profession or arena– by all means, I hope I can be a role model and I can get excited about that!”

Terri adds, “We are so proud of how Hannah’s gone after

her dream– and made a little history on the way! And I always thank PDS in my heart for being such an influence and contributor to the person she is today.”

Epstein continues to set new goals for herself at NFL Films, an environment she cherishes as a premier laboratory for mastering top technical skills. “I only became a fulltime cinematographer for NFL Films two years ago,” she explains, “so I still feel like a rookie.” She considers everyone there a mentor and sees constant opportunities to learn.

True to form, what truly drives her is the opportunity to perform under pressure.

“We’re performing on every play just like an athlete,” Epstein declares. “Every time I hit ‘record’ I have the goal of getting a great shot. I’m an athlete and I’d love to be on the field, but I love the fact that I’m on the sidelines and have a physically demanding job that I like. I still have a game day.”

After last year’s Super Bowl, Epstein set her sights only a few weeks later on another summit, helping film Eagle’s star defensive end Chris Long and a group of fellow NFL players and military combat vets as they climbed Mt. Kilimanjaro to help raise money for Waterboys.org’s efforts to build sustainable water wells in East Africa.

Hannah and a female porter were the only women among more than 100 climbers and porters. Terri explains, “This was such a melding of Hannah’s work and athleticism.

She shot while she climbed, which is an incredible accomplishment given the terrain and altitude challenges of a 19,000-plus-foot peak.”

When asked about the attributes that make Hannah truly special, Jon falls silent for a moment before gathering himself. “That question brings tears to my eyes,” he confides. “Hannah’s always been a special kid all of her life. She’s so multifaceted and has this wonderful, complete personality, which is so caring, and yet she can be so tenacious at the same time. When Hannah had to play in a big game and the pressure was on, Hannah excelled.

Hannah can always perform. She is as giving and humble as anyone. Yet I always think of Hannah as being the ultimate gamer. That’s Hannah– she’s such a complete package.”

“We are so proud of how Hannah’s gone after her dream – and made a little history along the way! And I always thank PDS in my heart for being such an influence and contributor to the person she is today.”

—Terri Epstein, Hannah’s mother

An academic, arts and athletics standout, Epstein ‘08 spoke at commencement about how quickly she came to love PDS after arriving as a freshman.

Annual Report 2017/2018 Message from the Director of Advancement I always enjoy taking time to reflect on the past school year and the incredible generosity and loyalty that has been exhibited by our community. Some gifts are easier to “see” than others.

The state-of-the-art new STEAM Center that opened its doors last fall is certainly an example of donor support that is evident to all. This facility is a constant, visible reminder of what can be achieved when there is a shared commitment to excellence.

But what of those gifts that may be less obvious? Every year the School is the beneficiary of thousands of gifts – from Annual Fund contributions to capital and endowment support; gifts-in-kind to gifts of time and experience. These gifts allow us to thrive in many ways. Professional development grants help teachers stay innovative and dynamic in the classroom, financial aid enables us to attract and admit a bright and diverse student body, and capital gifts ensure that our facilities and equipment are top notch. And then, of course, there are the hundreds of hours of time that our volunteers give to us each year. Without these dedicated trustees, parents, alumni and faculty, we could never achieve such success in our fundraising efforts.

One of my favorite phrases is, “it takes a village.” I certainly find this idiom to be true at PDS, especially in the Advancement Office. Every person and organization listed in the following pages has helped shape our School. Princeton Day School is in a position of great strength because of this incredible commitment to excellence.

Thank you to everyone who supported Princeton Day School this past year.

Sincerely, Katherine A. Schulte

“Supporting the PDS Annual Fund is not only about financial giving, but about staying in touch with teachers, classmates and getting together at reunions. I spent most of the last 50 years as Class Secretary and Agent, which was an honor, as it helped me spread the word about the importance of supporting the school.

“We all left PDS excited about the future and didn’t look back.

Life happened: ups, downs and sideways. With time the turbulence settles and we glance back, recognizing that what seemed so difficult was, in fact, a far simpler moment. The Annual Fund reminds me of classmates and rekindles contacts, we reflect on how far we’ve come, and one big step that brought us here. PDS was a big step, and in recognition of that I support the Annual Fund as it reminds me to appreciate where we are today.”

“I give to the PDS Annual Fund because I believe in the quality education and rich tradition that PDS embodies! I spent four formative years at PDS for high school, and I have nothing but fond memories of teachers, fellow students and many, many interesting experiences and friendships! I also received a stellar education that prepared me for my college experience at the University of Pennsylvania and my careers in software development and my current field of financial services.

I developed skills at PDS that I still use daily, and the friendships and connections I made there have lasted decades.

I’m so grateful for all of that, and I give to the Annual Fund so other students can take advantage of the same kinds of opportunities I had.” lylah Alphonse ’90 Jean Chen * Matthew L.

GREETINGS FROM THE 2018/2019 Alumni Board

Lucy Englander van den Brand ’78

President

Alumni Board Greetings from Colross.

We begin our 54th year on the Great Road celebrating the revitalization of Shepherd Commons, named after one of the School’s most revered faculty members, Anne Shepherd (some of you might remember this as our old Lower School). In addition, all of the Upper School humanities classrooms surrounding this gathering area have been renovated, bringing the latest in technology and flexible classroom design to this critical portion of campus.

Building on a tremendously successful first year of science, engineering, programming and robotics classes in our new STEAM center (completed last summer), the school continues to focus on providing the very best in academics and student experience. These advancements celebrate our School’s legacy of excellence and give us much to be proud of as alumni. Thank you to each of you who has supported PDS and helped make these projects possible.

I invite you all to join us at alumni gatherings this year. We will be in New York City on December 5 and of course you are all encouraged to join us at Alumni Weekend May 17 & 18.

We look forward to making 2018-19 another great year for PDS. If you’re interested in getting involved with Princeton Day School, please contact the Alumni Office at 877-924-2586.

Peggy Munro Griffin, who lived next door to me in the ’30s, is still spending summers at her summer place on Cape Cod. We phoned recently and she hasn’t changed a bit. I also had a good call with Ann Tomlinson Reed, who still lives near Princeton. All three of us are fortunate to have really nice children—now mostly retired, of course.

“After graduation from Wellesley, I went to Europe, worked in the Young World Federalist office in Amsterdam, and then at the Copenhagen Congress of the World Federalist Movement.

“In 1955, I married David Webster, who was then working for UN Radio on assignment from the BBC. We settled in London where two sons were born. After jobs at Pan Am, and at the largest UK ad agency, I set up Export Market Research Ltd. in our home and I served as an officer of the World Federalist Movement, where I believe I and others from our organization influenced the thinking of top officials in the USSR and were partly responsible for the fall of the Soviet Union and the establishment of the Russian Federation under the leadership of Mikhail Gorbachev and Edward Shevardnadze.

“In 1981, I moved to NYC and had a series of wonderful jobs in the UN Secretariat. Later, I joined the Department for Disarmament Affairs as a Political Affairs Officer, where I worked until 1995.

Lucy Law Webster reported: “The recent Wellesley reunion of the Class of 1953 was great! A large number of our classmates attended and we joyfully promoted our class cheer as the first Green class.

“We were able to chant this as we marched from Stone Davis Hall to Step Singing in the Greek amphitheater. Ours was the oldest class that did march; all the older classes had antique cars to drive.”

Excerpts from Lucy’s contribution for her Wellesley reunion this past spring: JOURNAL

“After I had reached the UN mandatory retirement age, I worked for Global Education Associates, then for Economics for Peace and Security, and then for the Center for War/ Peace Studies. I am now an unpaid officer in Citizens for Global Solutions. I also enjoy singing in the choir in the Presbyterian Church next door.”

The good news for us mid-decade octogenarians: eight of us are still alive. The bad news: twelve of us aren’t. Among these classmates, not all of us actually graduated from Miss Fine’s, but all attended for a number of years.

Jean Milholland Shriver lives with her husband, Charlie, in Palos Verdes Estates, California. She has two adult sons and an adult daughter. Her son, Steve, is married and has a few kids. Jeanie herself is presently taking care of her wheelchair-bound husband. She has been writing articles for a publication called Chicken Soup for the Soul and has written a few books, among them a book aimed at teenagers called The Einstein Solution, somewhat autobiographical in that she lived two blocks from Einstein growing up in Princeton.

Wendy McAneny Bradburn and her husband Norman live in Arlington, VA.

Others of us still alive but not in direct contact with the School are: Sally Mountford Maruca,

Nancy Cowles Black, Janet Butler Haugaard, Sarah Alice Fenn and Connie Cook Moore.

I had a great conversation with Connie, who lives in Philadelphia. She has been widowed for quite a long time; she does have adult children whom she sees quite frequently. Many of you may not remember her, as she was sent to Miss Chapin School for sixth and seventh grade and then away for five years to Garrison Forest School. She has fond memories of the class.

Three people no one seems to know about are: Diane Cooper Shelton, Elisa Hewitt and Ann Yeomans. People who we have lost include: Angie Fleming Austin, Alice Elgin Bishop, Ellen Wood, Sally Potter, Margaret Lindabury Cooper, Polly Jamieson Meara, Joan Brummer Somberg, Mary Hebard, Mary Sayre Haversack, Sue Petrone, Rosie Thompson Franciscus, and Esther Young Constable.

“I am Doe Coletti Mechem. I have lived all my adult life in San Francisco or nearby. I am blessed to still have a husband, just turned 93.

He is a composer of classical music, choral, orchestral and operatic, having written four operas, three premiered. All of his music is published. His music is frequently performed both here and abroad. We have four adult children, three daughters and a son, and four granddaughters. My primary activity, outside housewifery, is playing violin in an amateur orchestra, a huge challenge and pleasure.”

1952 Marina von Neumann Whitman wrote: “I retired from my position as Professor of Business Administration and Public Policy at the University of Michigan in May 2017. In March of this year, my husband, Bob, and I moved from Ann Arbor to the retirement community of Newbury Court in Concord, MA, to return to our Eastern roots and be nearer to our children, Malcolm Whitman, who is on the Harvard Medical School faculty, and Laura Whitman, who is on Yale’s medical faculty. Our grandson, William Downie (21), just graduated summa cum laude from the University of Colorado in Boulder, and our granddaughter, Lindsey Downie, 18, is a sophomore pre-med at Colorado College in Colorado Springs.”

Hilary Thompson Kenyon wrote the following: “I just keep really busy playing lots of golf, hiking, kayaking, playing with my five G-dogs (Lea’s dogs!), and doing lots of volunteer work for organizations. Hope came out for a week’s visit two weeks ago. We had a good time doing lots! Fortunately, we haven’t had close calls with wild fires here in Bend, OR but lots of smoke from other fires or no rain, which is much needed!”

Hope Thompson Kerr reported from New Jersey that recent torrential rain flooded her lower floor by about three to four feet! The water not only ruined her carpet but also ruined precious photo albums. She lost power, leaving her with no stove, washing machine, etc. All her neighbors are experiencing the same thing. Now the problem is black mold.

And who knows how long it will take to get the damage repaired.

Hope and Hilary plan to go to Churchill, Manitoba in November to play with the polar bears there!

I am sad to announce the passing of Barry Rowland in June of this year. He was the husband of our classmate, Wendy Gartner.

I try to write or do research a couple of hours each day.” Kay and Dick have planned a river trip on the Columbia River in Oregon with her sister-in-law and all of their children to celebrate both of their 80th birthdays. In December they will travel to Maui, to celebrate Kay’s actual 80th, with son, daughterin-law and two grandchildren.

Cicely Tomlinson Richardson still enjoys writing for her local newspaper in NH. She and John visit their beautiful family house in Chatham, MA, twice a year; otherwise, travel is limited. All the children came together in Chatham to celebrate Cicely’s 80th birthday.

Intrepid travelers Joan Pearce and Klaus Anselm visited the Dordogne in France, and took a nine-day tour of Iceland this summer. “We…took away beautiful memories of the volcanic island’s huge landscapes. This was the time of year for all the creatures to take advantage of the long hours of daylight. I have never had to wear a sleeping mask before.”

Rosemari Rubino wrote: “Joe and I will be cruising the west coast of Europe for three weeks in September, and are especially looking forward to Normandy and Bilboa. Our 13-year-old grandson was chosen for a twelveday field trip to Costa Rica, which included launching baby turtles at a sanctuary. His 11-year-old sister, Kiera, is starting Mr. Benjamin’s gracious living course (with partner dancing) for middle schoolers. Everyone in our family from Joe and me to Kiera will have had this experience!”

Marina Turkevich Naumann has travel of a different sort in her near future—she is moving back to Princeton! Son, Andrew, has already taken this step, and Marina has found a “nook” for herself near him. She is joyful about this, since being alone after so many decades with her Bob was lonely in the extreme. In her words: “It hurts to close down Bob’s and my Toad Hall, but I feel lucky that for me it will be the return of the native.”

Greetings, dear classmates. MANY thanks to all who heeded my call for news—that’s 11 of you—the most ever since I became our MFS’56 scribe! Here we go!

Marina also wanted us to know that this past spring a mammogram revealed a pinhead size tumor. She urges us all to “get mammogrammed.”

Bob is still cooking marvelous meals; daughter, Beth, and granddaughter, Sequoia, visit frequently. Anne is still auditing courses at the local law school AND giving lectures to second year law students on how to gain an entrée to D.C. law firms and non-profits—endeavors that Anne learned a great deal about during her professional career.

Pat Henderson Lincoln is our resident Princetonian, living with her Dick just a few miles away in Skillman. She comments that life has brought ups and downs, but she feels profound appreciation for her life over all, past and present. In 2012, she converted to Catholicism and has joined a church community that brings her much joy and peace. She also has wonderful anecdotes about Mrs. Shepherd, a close neighbor and babysitter during her childhood.

most of the time but is a very good sport about coping. He wears a neck brace to combat degenerating discs in his neck that can’t be repaired, and we go soon to a surgeon to talk about a hip replacement so our world is narrowing, but still good.”

Molly Wade McGrath wrote about a real estate issue that may have touched several of us. “We have been in our apartment in NYC for 48 years, in our house in Paterson, NJ for 40 years. What good times we have all had there as the children grew up and friends came from far and wide! It doesn’t make much sense to hang onto the house now. Maintaining two full-service households is difficult and expensive, but we keep backing off selling. If either one of us were in ill health it would be easier, but parting with something precious and beautiful without some major impetus is a constant preoccupation. Meanwhile, classical music, walks in the park and along the river, the gratification of my volunteer work, not to mention family and friends, keep me going.”

Margy Pacsu Campbell has recovered from side effects of surgery a few months ago to remove a small amount of cancerous tissue in one lung and some lymph nodes. Her chemotherapy afterwards made her extremely ill and had to be stopped after two weeks. She and her Bob have medical appointments the end of September to discuss options. The good news is that she has recovered her voice and much of her energy, and has resumed communicating by phone and email.

Hobey Alsop Hinchman’s cancer returned in November 2016. Here is her story, in her words, written 8/14/18: “The surgery was pretty rugged… It took seven months for my body to be ready for the next phase, which was radiated iodine, and it turns out that my body would not accept that. I am now a regular patient at the James Cancer Center in Columbus, Ohio, and am happy to be there. A side effect of my surgery is that I ‘lost’ a vocal chord—I sound something like Marge Simpson or Minnie Mouse. But what is worse, I have NO volume! Imagine that, if you can! We go for surgery to fix the vocal chord in 10 days. I can hardly wait. We are going to stay with Carol and Trump while in Columbus.

I try to make the best out of each day. I tire easily, but don’t look sick, and can do whatever I want to do. My mantra is: ‘This is the day the Lord has made. Let us rejoice and be glad in it.’ Dave and I are about to celebrate our 59th wedding anniversary and my 80th birthday; we will gather in Charleston with the whole family for Thanksgiving week. Good things to look forward to. Hope all is well with everyone. We are a very lucky generation and have a lot to be thankful for.”

I will only add that we are also very lucky to have our bonds with each other. Love to all until next time, Charlotte.

Anne also shared for the PDS Journal: “This summer two of my grandsons, Harrison and Andrew, 23-year-old cousins, participated in a 10-day educational program in Israel.

This Birthright Israel trip introduces young Jewish people to Jewish history and culture, with visits to various spiritual and historic sites.

Masada, Temple Mount and The Wailing Wall were especially important sites among their profound Israeli experiences. Israeli peers traveled with them for open discussion of wideranging issues. Israeli soldiers, male and female, also traveled throughout Israel with them for protection.”

On behalf of our entire class I, Susie Smith Baldwin, extend condolences to Anne Gildar Kaufman on the sudden death this spring of her older sister, Sandy. In a recent phone chat Anne said, “Sandy’s fatal stroke was so sudden and shocking. She was very fit for 82 and had just that week played golf and enjoyed Zumba dancing, as well as tap dancing.”

Anne shared two more pieces of heart-fulfilled news: “It is wonderful that Andrew is going back to Israel this winter to study desalination at Ben-Gurion University. And, I almost forgot to tell you that I have become a great-grandmother.” Congratulations, Anne, and congratulations to Larry, too.

Upon hearing Anne’s good news, I immediately asked Sandy Strachan Froehlich, “Sandy, aren’t you a great-grandmother?”

Sandy emailed back. “As for being a greatgrandmother, you are correct… four greatgrandchildren… bless them all! Heidi, my son Don’s oldest daughter, has two kids.

One is a little boy, six-years-old, in kindergarten now. He is running around the classroom excited by the loss of his first tooth.

Remember those days? His little sister is only three-years-old. Don’s youngest daughter, Shelley, has two little boys. Both are very active and very young. One is pushing three and the other is just two.

“My daughter, Wendy, has two girls, one is married and just celebrated her first anniversary. No children yet! Wendy’s youngest daughter (25), is about to tie the knot in September. Since that one has dreams of becoming a nurse practitioner, is working full time and is also a full-time student, not expecting any great-grandchildren there for a bit.”

Sandy added, “I have been working hard today creating both peanut butter and strawberry whoopie pies. I’ve only lived up here 41 years now and it’s my first attempt. Maine is well known for their whoopie pies (normally just

“The day before Labor Day, Wendy and her husband Lester have their annual pig roast where an open invitation stands for the whole town of Eagle Lake to come and literally ‘pig out.’ Needless to say, we all are in a panic trying to get everything ready and under control.

Bless their beautiful hides! Remember the song “Bless your Beautiful Hide” from the 1954 musical, Seven Brides for Seven Brothers?”

In 1954 it was, of course, a sexist song about women. We’ll make it gender neutral for your grandkids and today’s culture.

Lucy James ’59 with Ann Kinczel Clapp’s cat, Charlie Wendy Yeaton Smith and her husband earned second place in the Misselwood Auto Show with a Porsche, which they restored long after her in-laws picked it up in Germany in 1964. She is still active in the Manchester Yacht Club. They had a nice conversation with Nancy Hudler MFS ’58 at Princeton Reunions, and I had a surprise phone conversation with Nancy!!

Nan Nicholes Goodrich has almost finished building her lake guesthouse to accommodate her ever-growing family. Her mother just celebrated her 100th birthday in NC. Last spring, Nan toured Australia and cruised from Sydney to Tahiti.

I, Ann Kinczel Clapp, am learning to cope with life without Harvey, which is difficult since he has been part of my life since fall of 1957.

JOURNAL

Cynthia Weinrich “had a nice, but too short, coffee with Elise Bruml and Gary on their last trip to the City, and a nice overdo catch-up picnic lunch with Fiona Morgan Fein. Also had a lovely week recently at Tibby Chase Dennis’ cottage in northern New Hampshire, to which I plan to return in September.

“Otherwise have enjoyed putting in improvement efforts on my garden, which includes veggies and, for the first time, cucumbers and red raspberries. It’s been a meager year for birds, and insects seem somewhat scarce as well. Lots of yellow swallowtails, however, and a few monarchs. The goldenrod is coming into bloom, though, and like milkweed, supports a varied community of insect life.

“This week I will attend a local annual county fair, which is very strong on animals in my area. Whole barns are dedicated to different kinds of fowl, and others for goats and rabbits.

And the cows take up about three more! One of my favorites is always the large draft horses, and this year they have scheduled draft oxen ‘versatility’ as well. Cherry Raymond and I had a great time there a couple of years ago.

“I am also making progress on ‘shedding’ possessions, mainly books.”

Tibby Chase Dennis wrote: “Chip and I are at our little Rockport condo, whose already lovely neighborhood has become a lot more wonderful since my NYC friend of 40 years, Anneliese Schwarzer (the editor I worked with at Library Journal), has just bought and moved into a unit here! I’d been waiting a year for one to become available, so we pounced on it when one suddenly did. Very exciting! On another ‘relational’ note, Chip and I traveled back to Adams, NY, on Lake Ontario, for the wedding of his former organist’s son, worshiped Sunday morning at both churches he used to pastor, had special visits with some special friends, and in general had a beautiful visit. One not so great note, we had an ambulance trip to the Mass General ER a few weeks ago when Chip awoke with unbearable back pain. He’s having PT and is a lot better now, though his back is still sore. We’re hoping and praying for complete healing!”

Joan Yeaton Seamon and her husband Hal “had our usual visit to the Chautauqua Institute in early August, which we so enjoy. Our week featured Yo-Yo Ma and his Silk Road Ensemble, with the whole week focused on how the arts can help all cultures in the world come together in better communication and understanding.... This wonderful lakeside campus in western New York always includes opera, symphony and dance, thoughtful lectures, a variety of classes, and interesting new friendships. Also, it gives us a break from HOT and HUMID Williamsburg! Tennis must be played VERY early here.

“This fall we will spend three weeks in Denmark and Norway on an overland trip, which looks simply wonderful. We choose small group travel and avoid cruise ships, which are not our preference. In December, we will enjoy a holiday visit to Dublin, Ireland, to visit brother, Tom, and wife, Valerin, and their two children, Kate and Stuart, who are dentists in London.

“Our grandsons, Matthew, Mark, Luke and Scotty (the lesser known disciple), bring such joy to the family. Mark is studying at Siena University, Italy, and the three others are all now in middle school in VA and TX. John, James and Julie—our kids—are always busy with their careers. Julie as VP and general counsel at General Dynamics IT division; John with Booz Allen, leading a team on military strategy for Ukraine in Kiev and Odessa; James at Ernst & Young (EY), managing info desks in several countries, while doting on his too-cute grandson, Joel, who has just entered pre-school. Yes, we are great-grandparents via James’s stepdaughter, Brooke. Too much fun! Where does the time go!?”

Nancy Smoyer “had a nice visit to Princeton in July, which came about because one of Billy’s Dartmouth friends wanted to commemorate his death (and life) 50 years ago on July 28 by visiting his grave. Others were contacted and four of his Dartmouth friends congregated for a couple of days. It was very thoughtful of his friends to do that, and I enjoyed walking around the campus with them for the first time in a long time. The rest of Princeton downtown has changed a lot and it was swarming with people. I felt like I was in New York!

“In Fairbanks, we just finished the event for veterans called Stand Down, which I have organized for all of its 20 years! It’s sort of one-stop shopping for veterans where they can get many needs met in one place—health, employment, housing, tax and legal info, VA benefits, etc., as well as massages, acupuncture, meals and door prizes. It was successful, but exhausting.”

Fiona Morgan Fein reported that “after a year off for term limits, I’m rejoining the Wells College Board of Trustees and am looking forward to the October meetings and the celebration of the College’s 150th Anniversary.

I had a wonderful week in Paris in January, and in March, Harvey and I returned to St. John to support the incredible recovery efforts made possible by the banding together of its entire population. We were astounded by all they had accomplished and feel sure that in the last five months even more has been put right, and that Mother Nature has worked some of her tropical growth miracles as well. I’m still working away at the guitar and taking advantage of as many of New York’s cultural offerings as I can. My nephew, Mario, (Patience ’66’s son) was married to the wonderful Elena in June in a music-filled, multi-generational, multi-cultural celebration. Cynthia Weinrich and I had lunch under the trees at Lincoln Center not long ago and picked up where we left off the last time. In early September, I go to London to celebrate the 50th wedding anniversary of friends I have known since before their engagement. I hope MFSers passing through the City will continue to let me know when they do—I love keeping in touch with you.”

Lucia Norton Woodruff: “Whoever said that retirement is peaceful? I am enjoying it immensely but have never traveled so much as in the last three months! Greece, UK, early summer, then different parts of Maine, and even northern NJ and Vermont to play chamber music with friends and reunite with family. Also, I am in a fun Artist Way Group, looking for new ways to be creative or improving old ones, oldest member is 85!”

Cherry Raymond wrote: “I am hanging in, living at The Abode, a Universalist spiritual retreat center in New Lebanon, NY, now starting my fifth year. It has been a trial, pos-

sibly worth it! The place has gone through quite a difficult death, but at last is in a sturdy phase of rebirth, which is making good headway this summer as programs troop through, ranging from Non-Violent Communication to Sacred Activism; Wild Women; Sufi Retreats; to a bunch of enthusiastic inventors of new flavors of ice cream.

“I took a wonderful online writing course this past year. The family farm, Cherry Valley Farm Coop, is booming, with bountiful veggies and animals, while beavers have taken over the pond. Thanks to Skype, I continue counseling and hope to step into teaching again this year, offering dreamwork and ‘Turning Times’ circles to help people cope with the unprecedented changes to our home planet and societies.

“I remember with HUGE gratitude our childhood, which, though more restricted, was rooted in a confidence in the future and a high set of values. Today’s young are having a helluva time, to understate what they face.

Old age as a time of reflection seems to be turning into a time of action.”

Polly Busselle Bishop said: “This year, though replete with good things, like a wonderful trip to Croatia, staging multiple engaging and educational workshops and lots of great tennis, has concentrated on family health issues.

How odd, getting older (not elderly, ha-ha).”

Julia Cornforth Holocene wrote: “I’m on the move again. I have decided that the beautiful five acres that Larry and I moved to five years ago from the Isle of Wight does not meet my needs anymore. I’m moving from 3500 sq. ft. to 1250, and it’s proving to be quite a challenge. My new condo on the 14th floor overlooks the Intercoastal Waterway and Palm Beach, and will be lovely once it is renovated. I had to give up my Corgi/Jack Russell, but my sister, Jo Cornforth Coke ’55, very generously offered to take care of her in Chattanooga. This will be the first time I have lived without anyone else in my home, having raised four children, dogs, and Larry, for that matter, but I’m enjoying it so far. Larry’s last play, The Big Sleepover at the White House, about Churchill’s visit to the Roosevelts during Christmas ’41, right after Pearl Harbor, is still planned for its premiere in England next year, the 75th anniversary of D-Day. Our daughter Nicole Holofcener’s latest film, The Land of Steady Habits, starts on Netflix September 14th. Also, for HBO, she’s directing a new series, Mrs. Fletcher, which begins in September as well. Stay tuned!”

The PDS Alumni Office learned that Fiona Morgan Fein received the Wells College 2018 Alumnae and Alumnus Award this past spring. The Wells College news release included, “Fiona’s service to Wells is unparalleled. Along with nine years on the Board of Trustees during a challenging time for the College, she has been class fundraising

chair for 51 years and chair of every Reunion. She is the first and only chair of the President’s Circle Committee.

“As a member of the Wells College Board of Trustees, Fein was admired for her perseverance, willingFiona Morgan Fein ’61 ness to ask hard questions, and encouragement of staff and faculty.

“During her tenure as trustee, Fein also chaired the board’s Advancement Committee, where she guided the collaboration between peers and college leadership to develop effective fundraising strategies.”

Sonia Bill Robertson had good news: “Carey and Louis Evans had their second baby girl on May 30, 2018, named Alena Louis Farr Evans, currently known as Pizza. Older sister, Alia, named after my mother, known as Ali, is adapting nicely to role of big sister.

“We had the enormous pleasure of having Mary Liz Keegan and Dave Colley visit us first is Portland and then in Tenants Harbor.

What fun we had!!! Nothing better than time spent with old friends.”

Gail Cotton wrote: “My life continues to be centered around family. Our grandson, Andrew, comes to us every Monday and Thursday, and I help with my ‘greats’ when needed. My most exciting news is our granddaughter, Andrea, is expecting twins at the end of January! We are all delighted and excited.”

Susan Mathews Heard is busy as always, she wrote: “I am doing a lot of volunteer stuff: Colburn School, Pacific Opera Project, and Kaleidoscope, a young conductor-less orchestra in the area. At Villa Gardens, I chair the Dining Services Committee, co-chair the Fitness Committee, and am a team member redesigning and planning our entertainment space on top of our building.

It’s FUN!” I, Susan Shea McPherson, had a short trip to Europe in the late spring and spent three nights with Win Dickey’s sister, Polly ’66, outside of London; we had a wonderful tea at Fortnum & Mason, which was elegant. Also, a visit to Ballymaloe Cookery School where my daughter, Sandy, first got into baking; it is a beautiful County Cork, Ireland, place that is wonderful. Sandy now has a bakery here on Cape Cod starting her third year.

We were all deeply saddened by the news of the untimely death of Alice Jacobson. Laurie Rogers was able to attend her Celebration of Life on August 26, 2018, at the Performing Arts Center (a building Alice helped make a reality when she was president there) on the PCC Sylvania Campus in Portland. Laurie sent these reflections on the celebration: “I was struck by the sheer number of people there to honor our dear friend and classmate.” There were eight people who spoke and, “To a person they mentioned Alice’s friendship, her intelligence, her leadership, her love of education and travel, her profound insight and ability to cut to the heart of the matter, and her laugh. Many mentioned what an enormous difference Alice made in their lives as friend and coach in both personal and business matters. It was very apparent that Alice had impacted a huge and diverse number of individuals. At the end there was a wonderful slide show of old and new photos, including her senior class picture from MFS.” Other memories of Alice came from: Bonnie Strong Berg, “Our classmate, Alice, was outgoing and life-loving. Her obituary is an affectionate tribute to her positive character and many accomplishments. In our MFS days she had an endearing and mischievous way of occasionally referring to our teachers by their first names, a familiarity I thought was both amusing and cheeky! She looked wonderful at our 50th reunion. Subsequently, we exchanged emails when she and AJ were planning their fairly recent trip to South Africa. She reached out to us with warmth and dedication. We’ll remember Alice with a smile in our hearts.”

Pamela Sidford Schaeffer added, “Alice died shortly after we returned to the States in June. What a shock. I will be forever grateful that we reconnected in 2005 and that Laurie and I were able to have many annual get-togethers with her thereafter, sometimes several times a year. It was so easy being with Alice, the joy and laughter that she brought to our visits, the insights and good advice, the thoughtful perspective and nonjudgmental attitude. I am very sad to know we will not share her wonderfulness again and I will miss her forever.”

Kathy Sittig Dunlop continued, “Getting to know Alice better at our 50th was a treat for me.”

Turid Helland said, “I was very sorry to hear about Alice. I remember a nice, engaged and friendly classmate.”

Andy Updike Burt added, “The obit is a beautiful tribute and captures Alice’s spirit and delight in life as well as her many accomplishJOURNAL

ments. I have downloaded onto my desktop the wonderful picture of Alice from our 50th reunion, wearing the light-up 1963 glasses and delighting us all with her wit and humor....

Many memories of flying in small planes, driving over the Scudders Falls Bridge singing, Nearer My God to Thee, my introduction to lox and bagels, sports galore, etc.”

Alice’s obituary was published in the Oregonian. It suggests, “In memory of Alice, please consider a donation to the Alice Jacobson Scholarship Fund through the PCC Foundation, PO Box 19000, Portland, OR 97280, or by visiting www.pcc.edu/give and writing her name in the tribute section.

Ed. Note: We are most grateful for Alice’s many years serving as class correspondent, and send to her family and friends are deepest condolences.

As I write this column from Charleston, SC, I’m reminded of our 40th reunion, celebrated on Kiawah Island several years back. Now that I’m living in the Low Country again perhaps we could entertain thoughts of gathering once again on Kiawah. Just an idea…

I’d like to thank you all for the notes you send me. Having submissions makes being a class correspondent so much more fun and interesting and is, no doubt, more fun for our readers.

Cary Smith Hart was good enough to inform me that our own Susan Jamieson was recently named a 2018 TASH honoree for her work in disability law. In fact, Cary let me know that Sue won an important case before the Supreme Court a few years ago. To elaborate a bit on TASH, this organization is an international leader in disability advocacy. Founded in 1975, TASH advocates for human rights and inclusion for people with significant disabilities and support needs—those most vulnerable to segregation, abuse, neglect and institutionalization.

Each year, TASH honors those whose contributions have advanced equity, opportunity and inclusion for people with disabilities, and whose actions set a high standard for human rights every day. TASH award recipients are acknowledged during the annual TASH Conference, which will be held in November in Portland, OR. CONGRATULATIONS, Sue!!! So proud of you, your dedication and amazing career.

Susan Moulton checked in to let us know she’s now retired and living in Salem, MA. She’s counting the days to Halloween with dread! That said, she’s “haunting” the library these days with so much time to read and shares a couple of book recommendations. “Am currently reading The Narcissist Next Door—

fascinating—and Squeezed: Why Our Families Can’t Afford America—very sobering and it all rings true. I am a non-fiction reader with the belief that real life is more fascinating than fiction.” Susie, perhaps like others of us, recalls the days when we were graduating from Miss Fine’s and shared these fast-forward thoughts, “I think the decade of being in our 70s is just a GREAT decade and I hope all of you joyfully travel these years. And, it goes without saying, if anyone is ever in the vicinity of Salem MA, please call. I would love to see one or all.”

Susan Jamieson sent an email update, with no mention of the TASH award, of course, but with happy news of her family. “Hey, friends! I have spent many weeks in Dublin (Son, daughter-in-law, grandson, age three, live there. Mat teaches sociology at University College Dublin.) And many weeks in Takoma Park, MD (where daughter, son-in-law, and two more grandsons live, ages three and five).

If anyone is likely to be in these places, or Atlanta, let me know! I have a part-time project at University of GA to challenge over-use of Medicaid for nursing facilities instead of community-based alternatives. Otherwise, finding slower days, time with friends and some traveling...to be a comfortable next chapter.” I hope to take Sue up on her email suggestion to visit Atlanta. I look forward to catching up with her and Fran Wolff there, real-time.

Joanna Hornig Fox sent in the following update on her life. “It’s been a long year or two. My mother slipped away in late November 2017, nearly 97, sharply lucid until the end, after a rich and productive life, and a lovely Rhode Island summer in which she ate more lobster and fresh corn than one could imagine.

As most of you have experienced, the aftermath is a lot of work, sorting, memories, unidentified people in old photos—and junk! I traveled too much in March, almost non-stop between visiting grandkids in Madrid, and business across the U.S., came down with a long-lasting flu that really only cured itself this summer, and learned my lesson—you are no longer 50! Fascinating and wonderful to see how kids start organizing themselves as they get older.

I still work at Hopkins and enjoy it; a Gates Foundation grant has led me into new realms; when it ceases to be interesting, I’ll retire. Sue J. was here a few weeks ago, visiting her grands, and also receiving a well-deserved award for her lifetime of legal work. I’ll see Cary in September when on the West Coast. Would love to see others! The older I get, the more I enjoy old friends and seeing how we’ve all turned out as, ahem, adults! Take care to all.”

Let me know when you decide to make the trip south to Charleston, Joanna. I plan to be here for a long time.

Cary Smith Hart did share some news of herself and I am pleased to include it here. “We are bumbling along, slower than before, grateful to be here but horrified by the lack of civility in

public discourse and humanity in how people treat each other. We are in love all over again with a new grandchild, Clara, who lives in San Diego and felt privileged to help her little family at her arrival. We continue our volunteer activities, mine: microcredit and literacy related, Gary’s in education, and we travel when we can. Hope to see more MFSers in the coming year!”

Linda Conroy Vaughn and I shared a lengthy telephone conversation last spring. She continues to travel, but has taken some time to orchestrate renovations to her wonderful home in Hillsborough, CA. She spent some time with her sister, Dana Conroy Aymond MFS ’59, in Florida over the winter, caught up with daughter, Heather, and her twins in Nashville, and keeps a close eye on son, Brad’s, two little ones in Hillsborough.

I’m very pleased to be back in Charleston again. Love the climate, the pace of things, being near the ocean, riding my bike to work, walking everywhere. Downtown, seafood, and new opportunities. This port city has become ever more popular with baby boomers and millennials, alike. I joined the Daniel Ravenel Sotheby’s International Realty office here in Downtown Charleston, continuing what has been an amazingly long career in this industry, but one I have enjoyed and continue to enjoy immensely. I welcome the opportunity to work with anyone who may have thoughts of relocating, family, friends, or acquaintances.

Happy Fall!

Anne Hiltner sent news to the Alumni Office that she has worked at Educational Testing Service in Princeton for over a decade and currently reads high school and college essays. She is a poet and novelist, having published a “cozy” mystery titled Home Smithers. She is a member of Sisters in Crime.

News is thin during the summer, but Paula Cantor, AKA Peshe Kuriloff, is Professor of Practice at Temple University.

I haven’t been blessed with any grandchildren yet, but I’m getting close to finishing a historical novel: the story of the four years Edward Rochester and his wife lived in Spanish Town, Jamaica. Yes, it’s a “spin off ” from Wide Sargasso Sea, which was a spin-off from Jane Eyre. This will unravel the mysteries of whether “Bertha” (the mad wife locked in the tower) was certifiably insane and what Mr. Rochester did with her dowry of £30,000. Just need spare time to get it done!

Bob and I are ending our summer singing in the chorus of the Victorian Lyric Opera Company’s production of The Grand Duke. Lots of work but great fun! And a great diversion from all things political.

My best friend from grades 4-8, Barbara Putnam, wrote: “I’m enjoying the challenges of being the Democratic Registrar of Voters in Litchfield, CT. Most of my working life, I was self-employed and worked alone. I chose to do that in part because navigating the choppy waters of interpersonal friction and power plays required way more energy than I felt it deserved.

I just wanted to get something done, and skip the conversations about how it should be done, by whom, in what order, under whose supervision etc. etc. Well, I’m back to dealing with all that.

I have a relatively small staff in the office, but a huge fleet of part-time election workers when we have elections. The interpersonal stuff takes way more than half my energy, but at my advanced age, I’m willing to do whatever it takes. It does feel a bit like I’m picking up where I left off at the age of 30. Was that really 40 years ago?”

the venerable Washington newspaper, The Hill.

Never one to exaggerate, John thinks James will have “a very interesting internship given the current Washington scene.” He continues as a PDS trustee and nurtures the endowment as chairman of the investment committee.

Bob Hillier reported that daughter, Jordan, married Alex Adams last May in a match first struck at the aforementioned Lawrenceville.

Coincidence? The nuptials were held at Bob and Barbara’s Delaware Riverside manse, with music by the twelve-piece orchestra that played at Tina Fey’s wedding. Jordan is finishing graduate studies in architecture at Penn, while her husband starts his internship in pediatric orthopedic surgery. You’ll remember that B&B bowed out of their architecture firm, one of the world’s largest, for a retirement gig in a smaller shop, Studio Hillier.

Well, the Witherspoon Street office now employs 30. In his spare time Bob continues to teach graduate seminars at the University and to publish Princeton Magazine.

My son Tim is engaged in Maryland’s infant medical marijuana industry developing techniques in “aquaponics” (which is to “hydroponics” what Porsche is to Edsel), and advancing these plants’ ancient uses in healing today: to ease pain, control children’s seizures, cure geriatric insomnia, and more. Meanwhile, Posterity Press’s newest is a charming book about the resurrection of a “lost” St. Croix plantation as a fabulous house on 12 spectacular acres with ocean view. I hope soon to write a book of my own: Sergeant Meredith’s Armada, about an ancestor who died in the Barbary Wars and the four Navy destroyers named for him. Two served in WWII; the first was sunk in solo combat off Guadalcanal, the next off Omaha Beach, struck by the first Nazi air-to-surface missile. Her crew was rescued by a sister ship whose skipper was decorated for seamanship and bravery, one Henry A. Wilmerding, Jr., of the greater MFS/PCD/ PDS clan. Small world. Stay tuned....

Well, I put the option to send me some interesting tidbits about your lives, so either you are nearly dead, or lead such boring lives that nothing new has happened to you in six months.

I read that Peter Moock was in NH at the big lake, so I know he’s moving around, and I did hear from a few of you in response to the baseball picture I sent out. But only Larry Estey knew the name of the mystery boy. He wrote: “Peter Jones was with us for a couple of years, but I don’t know which ones. His father was Lewis Webster Jones, President of Rutgers from 1951 to 1958. I think Peter actually lived with my family for awhile, and went with us one summer to the camp in Colorado where my parents worked. I lost track of Peter when I left PCD in the fall of 1956 to go off to Kent School (to which I’m returning in October for my 60th reunion). I think I heard that he’s living on the West Coast. So the photo is from sometime between 1951 and 1955, I’d say. Other than that phenomenal act of mental recall, life goes on here on the coast of Maine, with the busy summer season winding down.

Visitors welcome year-round.”

John Stein wrote back as well. Sounds like he has too much time on his hands.

“Every day, I lay back, well, recline, in my recliner, killing spam and responding to nothing-burger emails if I feel like it, read The Post and The Times (notice the highly respectful use of the capital T), play a few hands of Free Cell, maybe take a nap, then, come evening, take in the CBS evening news, followed by the PBS version of same, followed by as much of Rachel Maddow as I can stand (she’s so smart and knowledgeable, has such good stories to tell, and manages to be hideously boring in the telling), then enjoy whatever good BBC show on PBS (damn, I just mistakenly typed PCD, can you believe it?) I’ve got in the bank, or, when that bank’s empty, treat my wife to an episode of Father Brown, then a mandatory hour of Boston Legal, whereupon she goes to bed, I’ll take in an hour, say, of Yellowstone, then news, then a half-hour or so of Jimmy Kimmel or Colbert, then off to bed and half a New Yorker article, and then to sleep. That final voyage to the bedroom was once aided with my walker, but I’ve lately graduated to a cane, thanks to a tweak on the stent that helps drain more or less water from inside my skull.

“And that, my friend, is my work week story, replayed 24/5, week after week. It is entirely comfortable. I’ve got nothing to say about the other two days except, at the right time of year, I get to yell: ‘Go Skins’ and ‘Go Hawks!’”

I did see small notes from John Davison, and Ed Benson so I know they are alive.

Actually, Stein and Ed opened a link between them when they realized they were both pinkos early in their lives. Ed may still be, but John is a little more to the right, but not by much.

They live on opposite shores, so the flyover states are still safe.

Would love to hear from Moke and Chris.

Ed wrote me earlier that he thought that Dudley Clarke had died in May. (This was recently confirmed by PDS.) Said he had been one of the original five who had passed from MFS to PCD after the third grade. He remembered, himself, Jimmy Hagenbuckle, Larry Estey, and one more to be named in a later draft.

I just returned from a summer trip with my four grandchildren. This year it was to New Mexico where we visited Los Alamos, Santa Fe, Carlsbad Caverns and, of course, Roswell, home of the International UFO Museum. I offered a couple of the kids to be abducted, but no takers. We took a great tour of Los Alamos, where I had my picture taken with a statue of Robert Oppenheimer. Apparently, Peter lives somewhere near, but we didn’t connect. A great trip, especially since the kids now can carry on real conversations without mentioning the words ‘butt’ or ‘poopy.’

Take care, and I’d love to hear more from you.

Harrison Fraker: “I retired from Berkeley’s Department of Architecture at end of June, so serve now as Emeritus Dean of the College and Emeritus Professor of Architecture and Urban Design, but ‘recalled’ for limited administration, limited teaching and research. Molly and I are starting our bucket list in earnest with extended trips to Minneapolis/Chicago/ Boston and Nantucket in September, and a month in New Zealand in November as result of an invitation to lecture in Wellington. We are both playing lots of tennis and traveling to watch USTA 1000 tournaments. Planning sailing trips next summer now that I have my Bareboat Cruising Certificate…so life is good.”

Bill Morse: “I’m still advising applicants to boarding schools and colleges. It’s stimulating, so it’s not really work. I play platform tennis regularly (eight years ago I wrote a piece that’s still online: ‘Platform Tennis as a Beginner.’)

I play a wooden flute and am part of a nonprofit group of volunteer musicians, ‘Shamrock Traditional Irish Music Society.’ The funds we raise help the ‘real’ musicians publish their books and CDs. We teach kids, sponsor many concerts and support various Irish Festivals.

Though I’m 75% British, by background, I

only ‘discovered’ my Irish side in my early 60s, and named my golden puppy at that time ‘Doolin.’ That’s the town in County Clare where, 14 years ago, I had my ‘ah-ha’ moment.

Currently we have two golden doodles, including one named ‘Finbar.’ I suppose all this is my late-in-life response to being sent off to a boarding school, which had no music, no hockey rink or coach. Boys will be boys, forever.”

Joe Wright: “You can report that I continue to live in Toronto where we have been for 42 years, 43 at the end of March. I am still married to Betsy, 50 years and counting with smiles, in April. I returned recently to Nantucket via home in Toronto from an 11-day rafting trip on the Tatshenshini River, which starts in the Yukon near Whitehorse and travels 150 miles through British Columbia, ending at a place called Dry Bay in Alaska on the Pacific Ocean.

“I came to understand how far from 35 I am!

Living on the floor of a tent for eleven days with no access to a shower or flush toilet and a walking surface covered with rocks and bushes of all sizes was a struggle. I am very glad I did it, but I am also very glad it is over, which is probably a common reaction for all of us who attempt something meant for 35-year-olds!

“We traveled through the largest protected land area in the world. We saw bears, sheep, eagles, glaciers and icebergs. The temperature averaged in the high 40s to low 50s and we had very heavy rain for four and a half of the 11 days and really only one sunny day. Good company, great, skilled guides and great food plus amazing scenery, but... I am not 35 anymore!”

Rob Kuser: “Andy Harris and Susan Denman visited with us in early May. To my surprise, Susan’s aunt is my cousin. Small world. She is a practicing dermatologist and Andy is a retired ophthalmologist. A good team. We had much fun together. Bob Smyth and I continue the ROMEO (Retired Old Men Eating Out) meals. I just returned from a wonderful family trip to Killarney, Ireland. Finally, my brother Ward ’61 just moved to Lawrence Township, about two miles from me. The Kuser boys are sticking together in their sunset years.”

Bob Smyth: “I’m wrapping up my 75th summer in upstate New York’s wonderful Adirondack Mountains on Lake Champlain.

The beauty of the place is that it doesn’t change: the soaring pine trees in the woods, the stone cliffs cut millions of years ago by glaciers, and many other ‘amenities.’ We have held to the old family tradition of no TV, and in the evenings after supper, we play board games (Sorry, Monopoly, Parcheesi, Scrabble, and others). This fall I will begin my third year of substitute teaching in the Princeton elementary school system, and I enjoy it immensely, especially the pre-kindergarten to third grade group. And for the past four years, I have been in a memoir writing class, and I’m working in

1956-57 PCD Hockey Team the Grandpals program in several kindergarten schools in Princeton and Lawrenceville.

In this program, once a week for a half hour, the grandpals read to a child. We commit to the full school year and read to the same child every week. The relationship that develops is special, and I have learned that it is a ‘two-way street,’ in that it is as good for us as it is for the kids. Rob Kuser and I get together for breakfast/lunch on a semi-regular basis to report our news, and to reminisce.”

Adam Hochschild: “I continue to teach a writing class at the Graduate School of Journalism at U. C. Berkeley, where I’m always inspired by the students’ idealism. My latest book, Lessons From a Dark Time and Other Essays, appears in October. In this dark time we’re living through, I wish that words alone could turn the tide politically, but I fear it will take much more than that.”

Staff Keegin: “My life, so far, continues as it has. My law partners haven’t said enough already with this two-months-off in the summer stuff, so I sail where the wind blows in the summer from our little house on Great Cranberry Island in Maine (to which Joe Wright can attest). The rest of the year is spent working, less and less, as a lawyer, enjoying life in Sausalito, and spending time in Kenwood — less this past year because our house, sheds, woods and meadows were utterly destroyed in last year’s fires. Insurance has been relatively OK, and we started the actual reconstruction this past week.

“Our oldest daughter continues acting and producing in Paris with her husband and two young sons. Emily, our middle daughter, has moved to Oakland from Brooklyn with husband and very young daughter from whence she is continuing her photo editing work.

And our youngest daughter and her recently acquired husband have moved from DC to the South Bay. It feels like the younger kids are circling the wagons. What do they know that I don’t?”

I, Tim Carey, like Joe, have just returned from a hiking/biking trip in the Dolomites. I went with my wife, Mary’s, family, and that is a treat since they all get along well with one another.

Challenging for me, doing some of those hills, but I managed to survive. Pretty cushy compared to what Joe did. I’m back volunteering at a local school, photographing various sports for a variety of places, schools, colleges and a city soccer program, and spending one day a week helping people get where they need to go at Boston’s Children’s Hospital. The attached photograph comes from Staff. There was, among us, talk of Bob Mueller, who appears in this group of rather uncomfortable-looking hockey players. Can you find him? And can you identify the others? I got all but one....

Stay well until the next issue!

Chris Wright: A Remembrance by John White

“I was sorry to learn of Chris’s early death.

We enjoyed our friendship back in our days at PCD.

“I last saw him many decades ago in the late 50s, after we graduated. He is one of our classmates that I remember well. I lived out in the country and Chris lived in town. He was far more sophisticated about life than I. I recall hanging out at the Princeton University radio station being ‘gophers’ fetching the records.

During the half time of a Princeton football game, I saw him emerge out of a kid-sized Tiger costume while he was on the field with the regular Princeton mascot. How did he do that?

“I was amazed at Chris’ abilities to navigate the inner workings of PU and our hometown.

Whenever we played tennis together, we met on PU courts where somehow Chris knew his way around the gym and had found access to the courts. I bet some of our classmates were led on ‘underground tours’ of Palmer Square

by Chris, who knew the ‘safe’ entry and exit points, while walking along dark, spiderwebbed passages. I recall being scared wondering what would happen to us if caught! Chris was non-plussed!

“When Chris called me up one day in Sixth Form to invite me to go into NYC with him to meet Sophia Loren, I didn’t hesitate and signed on! My parents, their friends, my brothers and all my classmates thought I was joking, thought that Chris was full of

it. I trusted Chris, once again, and knew he was not BS-ing me. Together we took the train in, wearing our ‘PCD uniforms.’ The limo (a limo for two 13-year-olds!) picked us up at Penn Station and took us to a warehouse somewhere for the last day of filming of That Kind of Woman (1959). Not only did we meet Sophia Loren, but also Tab Hunter and Barbara Nichols. (Google the trailer for some laughs.) I can truthfully tell you that we swigged wine out of the same bottle that Sophia Loren did—along with everyone else on the set!

“Even though I hadn’t seen Chris in decades, I have thought of him many times. When I tell our story of meeting Sophia Loren, I get, ‘No way, White, you are making it up.’ I hear this often. No, Whites don’t lie! If Chris were still with us, he would vouch for me; and I, for him.

What an amazing experience! What an amazing person!”

Thanks, John, for your memories of Chris. I appreciate you sharing the Sophia Loren story with other classmates as you have shared it with me about 10 times. “Toby, have I ever told you about the time I met Sophia Loren?”

Not much Knox news. Kathryn and I have settled into our smaller abode and are enjoying it.

We’ve played a lot of golf this summer. I’m not looking forward to a knee replacement in early October but hope that by March I’ll be 100%, as we have a trip to Sydney and New Zealand planned. I had an enjoyable week in June on the Gander River in Newfoundland fishing for Atlantic salmon.

Best wishes to all classmates. Please follow John’s lead and share any stories from our time on Broadmead.

Joe continues to play softball on three teams, one out of Virginia, playing in tournaments around the country and two in NY. He has been slowed by knee injuries, so is looking to get knee replacements.

Currently he is working with a number of states to establish a new, non-profit organization focused on careers in law and public safety, Law and Public Safety Education Network. It focuses on programs at the secondary school level with connections to college and related careers.”

Don Fischer reported that he is alive and well living in Mary Esther, Florida, just east of Pensacola. He spent most of his 20s and 30s living in Germany, Austria and Spain. He married a German lady in the ’60s who passed away in 1981, which is when Don returned to the States with two daughters. He’s driven an 18-wheeler, crewed on large sailboats across the Atlantic and now has a shuttle business that runs to the airport. Don plans to soon sell his house and plans to retire on a 36-foot nautical sailboat. He’s looking forward to our 60th reunion.

Steve Cook is “enjoying retirement with a house in Stonington, CT and a house in Palm Beach Gardens, six months in each. Have been able to skate twice a week in each location so the spirits are still high. Welcomed our sixth grandchild, Carter Cook, and he seems to like Stonington and the NHL channel.

“Nina is still busy with innocents work and I work two days a week for Habitat for Humanity taking apart all the high-rent houses and condos and selling the kitchens and baths through the H4H Restore. Made over $1,000,000 for H4H last year from the restore.

“At our age, we all do a lot of reminiscing and I still have fond memories of PCD and all the characters. Have been playing old man’s hockey with brother John ’56 and Colie Donaldson ’62 as our center man; Colie is full of PCD memories and stories.

“It has been quite a journey, PCD, St. Mark’s School, Princeton, Rutgers Aggie School, USN Pilot, then Rutgers Medical School, retired USN as 06 and a great orthopaedic practice in New Brunswick, NJ. Now all done, a little legal work and H4H, and going to the doctor and dentist.

“We feel blessed with four wonderful and productive grown children, six grandchildren and some hot shot hockey players. So the cycle starts again.

“I am in touch with Roger Budny in FL, which has been fun and hoping he gets through all his medical issues soon. He is always in good spirits in spite of any impediments.

“Nothing left for us in Princeton so not sure when we will be back. But our doors are always open for visitors in FL from November to May and then in Stonington.”

Charlie Stuart had a series about basketball called Basketball: A Love Story,

which appeared on ESPN in October. He was a writer/producer on the project working with a friend who was the show runner.

This past May, he released a documentary on PBS, which he produced, wrote and directed about the stigma surrounding mental illness in this country. “Since I’m now out of work, that could make me ‘retired,’ but I prefer to say ‘I’m in between projects.’ I’m always looking for work and for 30 years as a freelancer, something always comes up. My wife and I sold our apartment in NYC this year and we are full-time residents of Maine, but as first time grandparents we will be spending a lot of time in Chicago with our oldest son, wife and new baby as well as returning to NYC to visit our other two children who live there.”

Walter Smith wrote: “Life is going along just fine for me and Libby, my wife of 47 years.

Our kids, Jessica and Robert, are well, as are our three grandkids, Connor, Maggie and Nathan. Connor began high school last week.

OMG, time certainly does fly by.

“Currently, we are at our summer home in Silverton, Colorado where, since retiring, I’ve worked summers in Professor Shutterbug’s Olde Tyme Photo Parlour. We dress people in old fashioned costumes, take their picture in a typical vintage pose, and print it out in a sepia tone, as it would have looked a century ago.

“I’m also involved with Bernese Mountain Dogs in obedience training for competition obedience and in Therapy Dog Ministry. I take Sarek, my six-year-old Bernese, who is a Registered Therapy Dog, on visits to hospitals and long-term care facilities to support patients and residents. I find this to be a most uplifting and fulfilling endeavor; and, a meaningful experience of happiness and hope for those we visit.”

In August, I met with Tim Carey ’57 who greeted me with, “You remember Robbie Mueller?” I scanned my memory of students where Tim and I taught for years and came up with nothing. “He’s only the most important man in the whole democracy!” “Oh, that Mueller! Did he go to PCD?”

Indeed he did, as documented by Randy Hobler, who wrote, “Yeah, I remember “Bobbie” Mueller ’59. I guess you know he was ’66 at Princeton? And that he played lacrosse on the same team as Pepper Pettit ’60. There was a summer travel deal that Bobbie was in back in 1957 or so. Bobbie Mueller’s face is somewhat obscured…he’s kneeling two over from Charlie Stuart ’59.”

I went back to Notre Dame for my 50th last summer, but since I am in both classes ’68 and ’69, I get to do it again next summer.”

Regan Kerney ripped off a short note: “Still plugging away as a member of the Lawrenceville faculty. Just can’t seem to graduate.” I did see Regan at a distance at the Princeton reunions but didn’t make a direct connection. It was madness!

I had better luck with Dick Reynolds and his wife Mary, with whom I shared a meal. Dick, in fine form and energy, reflected on some of the difficulties of our school days before answering some of my questions about geology.

He talked about troubling times during the field’s schism over the emerging evidence for plate tectonics. He is now enjoying mentoring graduate students in Colorado.

Pepper Pettit ’60 (#32) and Bob Mueller ’59 (#15) played lacrosse together at Princeton.

My own days are spent at the keyboard with a number of writing projects, or else sailing on Buzzard’s Bay out of South Dartmouth.

After years yanking on an oar, it’s remarkable to let wind do the work. (Sure wish someone had told me about this). I travel, not often enough, to Kentucky, where my wife Laurie moved to be with our three grandsons, and she travels back to “Beantown” when she can.

It’s a strange situation but static for the time being.

Randy continued, “I’m no longer in Dobbs Ferry, but moved into a condo in Norwalk, CT at the end of March, with my longtime girlfriend, Alexa Smith. We love it here. I’m still working on the Libya book, for which I have written 101,000 words and conducted 87 interviews.

“I regularly visit my 95-year-old father, who’s in a senior home in Skillman. He set a record at Princeton Reunions for having marched in 72 straight P-Rades! When the parade was canceled, I saw my Princeton classmate Dick Woodward. I mentioned to him that I’d just read that the last (and only time) the P-Rade was canceled due to weather was in 1953. He said, ‘I was there!’ (at his father’s reunion).

What are the chances of that?”

Time is disappearing at an alarming rate these days. We graduated from PDS 52 years ago, and now this year of 2018 brings most of us our 70th birthdays. I suspect most are celebrating well, or refusing to celebrate.

I know at least three of us partied: Barbara Sullivan reported that she and her husband rented a villa in Tuscany this summer for her 70th birthday, and they were joined by her daughter and her fiancé. Susan Bonthron will be spending a week in Provence in September painting watercolors with a local art school. In mid-August, I hosted a Buckingham Palace High Tea at my home to celebrate my passing through yet another decade; all my guests got into the party spirit by wearing stylish hats, long gloves, and putting on airs. One of my friends came as a Queen’s Palace Guard, with full bearskin hat and colorful red costume.

My Hobler siblings hired an actor from L.A., dressed as a town crier and/or bellman, who entered the house ringing a huge bell and shouting, “OYEZ!! OYEZ!! OYEZ!!” and promptly delivered official pronouncements for Queen Deborah of Rialto. Yes, I have queenly aspirations. If anyone else wants to write me their 70th birthday stories, please do for future columns.

Barbara Sullivan wrote that she is now working one day a week and having fun with yoga, gardening, dabbling at water color painting and continued involvement in various community organizations. It sounds like we should plan another 1966 Class Art Show, the next time we get together. She happily reported that her son, Charles, was married last August up in Massachusetts. Congratulations! Barb now has two grandchildren, Wyatt (3) and June (1) and loves visiting them.

One can never tire of those site visits. In the fall, a “Pottery Wheel for Beginners” course is the next program she has signed up for.

(She says this course makes her most mindful of Sarah Jaeger.) “I haven’t touched a wheel since eighth grade at MFS, where I have very fond memories of sitting on the wooden bench painted blue kick wheel in the Crafts Studio.”

As I recall, Katherine is moving into a new home in Asheville in February, and anticipates that BEARS might visit her backyard.

Apparently, bears are frequenting the city’s sites these days. Perhaps her “How to be Safe in Public” course has prepared her for how to fall in front of a bear without getting injured! And everyone knows that bears are scared of noncontact boxing! So she’s safe, for sure.

Linda Staniar Bergh had lunch with Polly Dickey Cockburn. Linda’s daughter, Courtney Bergh ’02, lives in London. Linda sent me a photo of the two of them. I was so excited to show it, but between the two of us, we couldn’t attach the photo properly for publication.

Senior moments maybe? But I do give Linda credit for contributing to the class notes.

Our prolific children’s author, Margery Cuyler, has yet again published another book, The Little Ice Cream Truck. The School Library Journal reviewed the book, and said it was a “jovial seasonal selection that can be quickly read one on one while eliciting memories and planning for sunny days to come.” Reading that made me want to go out to Mercer Road to catch the Good Humor Ice Cream man!

Katherine Becker took summer school program courses in “Summer Wines,” “Post-War Italian Comedy Film,” and “The Historical Jesus,” which she particularly enjoyed because it challenged long held beliefs she had about the man and his work, and gave her a new perspective on Judeo-Christian history. Ms. Becker also took “How to Be Safe in Public” while traveling; this included her learning how to fall without getting injured. I wish I had known that when I fell down an uneven sidewalk and got 13 stitches in my hand, a year plus ago. Katherine says all of us old women need to learn this! In addition to learning how to be safe, Katherine has also taken up noncontact boxing as a part of physical therapy, which enables her to build stamina, strength AND confidence. Where were these classes when we were young? I hope she will not have to employ any contact boxing on her trips, but at least she will be prepared. Katherine’s next trip is to Rome, Italy in September, her fourth visit, where she has rented an apartment, with plans to visit museums she has not frequented before. But of course, she will return to the Borghese Gallery and the Sistine Chapel.

I spent two weeks back East in June, first visiting my sister, Nancy Hobler ’74 in D.C., then seeing my father in Princeton, who is about to celebrate his 96th birthday, and my siblings. Of course, we all went to Princeton Reunions, where my dad marched for the 72nd time in a row in the P-Rade. I was able to get in a wonderful visit with Andrea Hicks, who was visiting with her mom, Joanie. It was great to just hang out with Andrea and shoot the breeze! Then I drove up to Connecticut with my brother, Randy Hobler PCD ’61 and his partner, Alexa, and saw his new home in Norwalk, CT, followed by a great visit with my sister, Mary Hyson PDS ’68, at her Cheshire, CT home.

Sally described how much grit and determination is required to stay the course. “Riders have no life: it’s about the horse from six in the morning until nine at night.

Connecticut has been home for 35 years, the longest time I’ve spent in any one state.

Phoebe Knapp Warren has happy news. Her daughter, Nathalie, had a baby boy in August.

Antoine William was 7 lbs. 4 oz. at birth and will be called “Will.”

Antoine William, grandson of Phoebe Knapp Warren ’67, greets the world shortly after his birth in August.

Here are some recent notes from classmates.

John Claghorn was able to be one of the alums to come. “It was fun to remember our days in the Senior Sitting Room.”

Pam Erickson MacConnell ’67’s son and girlfriend with the famous windmills in the province of La Mancha, Spain

Gail Smith Cleare wrote: “My second novel, The Taste of Air, made USA Today Bestsellers List twice last year. My next book is a romance with recipes called Love & Chocolate, coming out this fall.” CONGRATS, Gail. Her granddaughter, Camila, likes to tap dance and is quite the little ballerina.

Katie Ecroyd has lived in Ottawa, Kansas most of her life. It is close to Kansas City where she is “neighbors” with my youngest son, David.

She suggested, “There’s LOTS to do in KC. I hope I can get together with David and his family for lunch sometime.”

Pam Erickson MacConnell ’68 visited the Chihuly exhibit at the Biltmore in Asheville, NC. Pam Erickson MacConnell wrote: “We had a wonderful summer, after a two-week trip in May to England and Spain with our son and his girlfriend. I made several quilts this summer along with a wall hanging and a table runner. Two more in the works now for new babies born to my daughter’s friends. I took a short trip in August to Asheville, North Carolina to see the Chihuly glass exhibits at Biltmore. Absolutely fabulous, especially at night. I’m not sure which was the best…the towers in the conservatory gardens, the reflection ponds or the amazing 14’ ball on the front promenade. Breathtaking!”

Marta Nussbaum Steele reported that her daughter, Liza, has a new job as a tenuretrack professor of sociology at the John Jay College for Criminal Justice in Manhattan.

Liza’s daughter, Cleo, turned two and will be attending an all-Spanish-speaking preschool in Manhattan. Marta attended a whistleblowers’ conference in August in Washington, D.C., and wrote four stories about it that were very well received.

Faron Daub Fahy could not come to the reunion. “If I had completed my pilot’s license, as everyone in my family did, I could fly our 172 down to Princeton for future reunions!!”

Time for a donut? I am sure many of us have memories of eating those yummy sugar glazed donuts first thing in the morning. . .I think ‘FISH’ (Andy Fishmann) was partly responsible for this. Andy and wife, Kim, were at the reunion. Perhaps I have not remembered who was really behind the donut business. Do tell.

Recent trips were: Guadeloupe, Portugal, the Canary Islands and Amsterdam.

Anne Fulper loved being back in the fold.

She wrote me (Mary Hobler) an email after the reunion. “The brunch at Connie’s was my favorite part. It was so wonderful to just be around the table together. I loved seeing Joe Chandler, who cracked me up with memories of the Senior Sitting Room. Joan Wadelton was a hoot! I wish I had known her better in our high school years.”

Joan is now a retiree from the State Department. I can’t recall the details, but roughly she is enjoying a very large piece of land (size?) (in Colorado?), where she occasionally digs for fossils (dinosaurs?) Now there’s a woman with a sense of adventure!

Gillian Gordon Crozier briefly wrote: “Hopefully, I will be in the States more often in a year or two. We spend a lot of time in East Hampton (Long Island) and plan to retire there, if I can ever give up working! Class of ’68 is composed of 68-year-olds!”

Jerry Pitt continues to live in Indiana with his wife Nancy. “I am still working part-time as a mediator and arbitrator—work I enjoy very much. When I’m not doing that, I serve as Executor Career Mentor for business students at Butler U.” They both like to travel.

There were 13 alums and four partners present for the dinner on Saturday, and some more alums attended other festivities during the weekend, including brunch on Sunday at Connie Sayen Ban’s lovely home on the Great Road.

who are running this year. “I really believe that our vote is all we have right now. I am hoping that we can get a group of New England Class of 1968 alums together for a mini reunion in the fall.”

Next in line is one of my oldest friends (since 1957) who made it to the reunion, Ingrid Selberg. She flew in from London to visit her son and then on to Princeton for our 50th.

How wonderful to meet again as grown-ups...

Remembering the magic of the swinging bridge and hiding in the fields around her house at the Institute for Advanced Studies.

Thank you, Ingrid, for returning.

A final note from Bob Spears who told us from Southern California, that he is mostly retired, but still works for the Department of Education. He does trail maintenance and still signs up for crazy events. “Next month (April), I am running rim-to-rim-to-rim in the Grand Canyon (20+ hours). I want to get these events in before I can’t do them anymore.” Doesn’t that sound familiar now that we are in our 60s?

Blair Lee was saddened to share, “It is with huge sorrow that I, and Andrea Fishman’s sister, Bobbie Fishman ’71, must share that Andrea passed away in her home in June. I am heartbroken, as Andrea was one of my closest friends at PDS, beginning sophomore year, when we were both new to the school. We lived together in Boston after college for a few years, and then we both ended up in NYC. As perhaps you all remember, Andrea was a completely unique, exceptional and eccentric person. She was hugely intelligent (do you remember how she outscored all of us on the National Merit Exams?), frequently frustrating in her points of view, and so funny as to make life always a pleasure in her company. I miss her very, very much.

“Bobbie speaks of how wonderful it’s been to learn that Andrea was beloved in her East Village, that she was claimed as a shining light to many, that she was appreciated and loved for being exactly the Andrea she was happy to be.

Her life of political activity and personal support to almost all who came into her path, as well as serious work in the theatre, was full and hard and greatly respected.”

Barbara Thomsen Kerckhoff also wrote a wonderful tribute of Andrea: “My memories of PDS are as warm as they are for many reasons, but in large part because of Andrea. She was such an important part of my life there that it’s strange now to recall that she didn’t arrive till 10th grade.

I was with her in classes, morning assemblies, most lunch periods, but the place I remember her best is in Moyne Smith’s Theater Workshop, JOURNAL

which we both took for three years running. As seniors we performed together, along with Chris Reeve ’70, who also directed, in the one-act play Hello Out There by William Saroyan. Andrea played a jealous wife who shot her husband (Chris) dead in prison, if you can believe it!

“I remember her huge, velvety eyes and very straight black lashes, her laugh that was more like an eruption, a geyser of mirth, and the way she would curl up like a mouse or a squirrel, arms and legs intertwined as she listened to you, focusing every ounce of her attention on what you had to say and then giving it back to you in much more pithy, witty form. She was brilliant, of course, but so were many of our classmates. What made her stand out to me was the way she could forge an instant bridge to people, somehow blasting through your shyness, awkwardness, every social impediment and make an electric connection, make you feel valuable and wanted and important. I never really understood how rare that was until I left PDS and entered the wider world, where I found such friends in strangely short supply.

(Imagine that!). I envy the people in her NYC neighborhood who saw her daily, as I once did, and who loved her for the same reasons without intruding on the privacy she came to insist on. Evidently, Andrea never shuttered that amazing human light and warmth of hers.

I will always remember and miss it.”

Jesse (Bill) Markham wrote: “After many years practicing antitrust law in San Francisco, I morphed into a law professor at the University of San Francisco and an occasional visiting professor at my alma mater at Boalt Hall (Berkeley Law). Now I am more or less retired, living in Carmel Valley, CA, with my wife, Diana, and our dog, Cricket. I have only rarely returned to Princeton since I headed off to St. Paul’s from PCD all those years ago, and I am tempted by our reunion. Hope to see some old friends then if I make it.”

Ronda Davis Fliss has sold Fat Murray’s and retired to Boynton Beach, Florida.

Laura Lamar wrote: “I am enjoying being recently retired and able to work on special projects at church (pastoral search, new graphics, living history and art project), and in our community (volunteering at local food bank, fire victim support, fundraising for women’s scholarships through P.E.O.). Husband Max Seabaugh is reading through New York Times bestseller list and drawing pictures. Looking forward to a two-week road trip through Bakersfield, Winslow, AZ, Albuquerque and Santa Fe, NM, with handcrafted playlists by Max!”

Bertina Bleicher Norford returned to Lexington, MA, after a month in Singapore followed by a house swap with a family in Victoria, British Columbia, and a brief stopover in California, during which she enjoyed a lovely hike with Barbara Thomsen Kerckhoff.

She hopes to see more classmates in May!

Bebe Ramus retired from her long-time technical writing job in January, and says she is enjoying organic gardening, friends, neighbors and family, including her wonderful greatnieces, Anoushka and Uma, and singing at church. She has been a volunteer nurse at a free medical clinic in the past and hopes to do something similar in the future.

Bob Rathauser reported that he is enjoying retirement from his medical practice. He and Debra recently enjoyed a wonderful week at the home of Stan and Susan Denise Harris in Isle of Palms, SC. During the rest of his free time, he is studying to be a tour guide in Israel. He’ll be ready for prime time after November 2019.

Beth Borgerhoff-Pomerleau and her husband Ricky are happy in Maine where Beth is busy painting. Her work can be seen at CG Gallery (www.cggalleryltd.com) in Princeton at 10 Chambers Street.

Many of you have expressed an interest in returning for our 50th class reunion, which will be held the weekend of May 17-19, 2019.

We will be in touch with you regarding details for the weekend. If any of you who live locally would like to plan an event, please contact me, or the Alumni Office.

Tom Berger wrote just after the deadline for the spring Journal: “My wife Diane and I traveled in March from our home in London to The European Fine Arts Fair (TEFAF) in Maastricht, The Netherlands. Here I had the pleasure of catching up with classmate Jack Kilgore, who was exhibiting at the fair. Jack is as witty, perky and irreverent as always, and looking far too young. TEFAF is perhaps the world’s most prestigious art fair with a long list of dealers hoping to gain a stand at the show. It is a testament to Jack and the quality of art he sells that he has been a fixture at TEFAF for more years than I can remember.

Eve Robinson is not ready for retirement. She wrote: “I have lived in Montclair, NJ, for the past 27 years; I love it here and we plan to stay in our home here as long as we can.

“As for me, I continue to work full-time in the field of early childhood education and quality rating improvement, as well as serving on many community and professional boards where I have become very active. I was re-appointed to the Montclair Board of Education for a second term by the Mayor this year and also serve on the boards of our local hospital, Hackensack Meridian Mountainside Hospital, and our county Regional Educational Services Commission. In addition, I teach as a visiting specialist at Montclair State University with the McCormick Center for Child Advocacy and Policy and the newly opened School of Social Work and serve on that school’s advisory board.

“I enjoy being active politically on a local level and being able to advocate on behalf of children and families; it’s important to be involved and change can happen best at a local level.

I also love teaching and plan to stay involved with University activities for a while.

“I am also an avid tennis player and organize doubles matches with my tennis friends all year long.

“I can’t believe it will be 50 years soon since our graduation; I remember that event very clearly for some reason, especially when Calvin threw Porter in the pool at the party! See you all there.”

Lew Bowers wrote: “Everything is good out here in Oregon. I am training a new one-yearold female poodle puppy, named Cokie, or rather she is training me. We are approaching our first anniversary in our 27-unit senior co-housing project and it is working out very well. Lots of good friends around and we are creating new rituals for our new community.

I was back in New Jersey this June and I took the opportunity to stop by and have dinner with Heidi Flemer and her husband Richard at their nursery in Allentown. It was wonderful to catch up and meet all of her birds, chickens, dogs...I plan to be at the 50th reunion. In fact, I promise to make a PDS reunion every 50 years! I really hope to see some classmates I have not seen during these last 50 years including: Jack Kilgore, Eric Hagen, Harriet Sharlin, Allyn Love, etc. I hope that the 50th reunion pulls everyone out.”

Cintra Huber McGauley reported that her daughter, Cintra, was married on May 27, 2018 to Anton John ‘Trey’ Sedalik III at the Monserrate Palace in Sintra, Portugal. She also sent the history of her name, Cintra, which unfortunately is too long to reprint but briefly, she wrote: “The first name of Cintra has been given to a daughter in each generation beginning in 1843 in Philadelphia with Cintra Hutchinson, Cintra, the first.” Our PDS Cintra is the fifth generation. She has retired from a career as Vice President of marketing from Phillips Fine Arts Auctioneers and the U.S. Equestrian Federation.

PDS doesn’t have email addresses for the classmates listed below. We’d love to hear from them, or at least get their addresses. Our 50th isn’t that far away and we don’t want them to miss out.

It is with sadness that I report that our classmate, Marian Stoltzfus Paen passed away in July. We send our condolences to her family and friends.

Cintra McGauley, daughter of Cintra Huber McGauley ’70, with her husband at their wedding in Sintra, Portugal Marjorie Shaw has retired from teaching anatomy at Howard University College of Medicine. She wrote: “I began by breaking my ankle, so I don’t feel I have truly begun the transition. There are so many lovely daily things I look forward to (travel, reading, knitting, gardening, exercise….). I don’t have any grand plans. It feels like a whole new realm of possibilities opening up!”

Bob Peck reported that he was going to visit his artist sister, Virginia Peck, in San Miguel de Allende in October.

Becky Ramsey ’71 with her grandson, Ramsey Becky Ramsey shared with us: “Bad news behind me that I share with all the class. I was diagnosed with breast cancer one year-ish ago and had a double mastectomy and immediate reconstruction at Mass General. My two women surgeons were fabulous and pioneers in the field!! No kidding. If you are facing this decision (ladies) the care at MGH was spectacular. It was a stressful time but I was secure, as I knew I was in the best of hands! I feel great, look as normal as I ever did, and have a superb prognosis. I actually never even think about having had cancer anymore and feel great. If anyone has questions etc., please contact me. Then, great news is that our son, Sam, and wife Amy had a beautiful boy three months ago; they named him...Ramsey! So surprised. Named with love for my mom especially. I melt for him as all insufferable grandparents do. Being a grandparent is the organic salve for the sands of time until I have to get up off the floor! Last bits of news are that our daughter, Leigh, has returned to Fort Collins, CO, after a veterinary internship at U of Minnesota. She and beau are about to live in a cool house there where horses (hello Pala) may re-enter her life. At least, I just mailed her saddle to her. We are in process of buying a home in Vermont and I see my near future as a triangle between Lexington, MA, Woodstock, VT, and Fort Collins, CO! Decisive people as you can see. Most people tilt their heads as dogs do when confused when I say this. Whatevs! It’s amazing I accomplish anything because I am on a daily deep dive into saving our democracy.

Obsessed and into protests. Miss all my buds from PDS and also the ones whom I haven’t seen at reunions. Shout out to Dore Levy and Martha Feltenstein and any other lovely people I haven’t caught up with!!”

Lizette Mills Hardie reported: “Still working (Department Head of Clinical Sciences at the College of Veterinary Medicine at North Carolina State University). Two more years to go, then I go to phased retirement. Summer fun was kayaking, rafting, running endless job searches (not really all that fun: this generational change is killing me!). Kids are launched (SpaceX engineer and physician) and migrated to California, so I get to do the bi-coastal trek.

Share my house with two noisy dogs who keep me moving. Best wishes to all, Lizette”

Sorry I’m not back in high school so I could use what I’ve learned. But that would be a conundrum. Hope everyone else is having as good a life as I’ve been lucky to have. Social media may be bad for elections but it’s good for staying up on old classmates. Love you all.”

Henry “Hank” Bristol, a blast from the past: “In June, PDS gave me and 12 other retiring faculty an extended send-off with gifts and acknowledgements, not only at the Alumni Weekend, but also at several end-of-year events.

I concluded my history teaching in the Middle School, where I taught all grades (5th-8th). I was also the first coach of the MS Squash Team, beginning a tradition that included competing at Yale in the MS Nationals! Our three children are graduates of PDS—all now living in New England. As an ordained deacon (Episcopal), I will remain active at St. David’s Church, Cranbury, NJ, as well as painting and traveling.”

Tom Reynolds kindly added: “I am still involved with all the things I have been involved in for years: cattle, real estate and music. I could take up lots of space with any of them, but best to stretch it out. So music: I play the Kimbell Art Museum every Friday and with a ten-piece twice a month that is a gas. Other gigs come along of course, but I can count on these. Very grateful to be busy with something I love!

“Daughter Grace is a third-year resident at the Mayo Clinic on her way to being an orthopedic surgeon. It used to be those people were linebacker types, not anymore! So give it a few more years and I will know a great gal with great bedside manner to swap out your joints!

“Son Thomas works two jobs and is happier than he has been in years. He is five years in sobriety, so I can’t tell you how wonderful that has been.

“Son Will had open-heart surgery a couple of years back to replace a valve. Tough going

but he is doing fine. He works as a drummer, knows more about history than most people and is a very interesting person when he’s not being a crank!

“On the health side, I hit a good speed bump five years ago and now feel fine talking about it. A Public Service Message to you men: keep an eye on your PSA level. I am five years into dealing with prostate cancer; it was a hot one, but I’m doing fine, thanks to modern medicine.

Twenty years ago, I probably wouldn’t be here.

So every day is a gift and I count my blessings with regularity, which includes my time at PDS and the people I got to know there. Fond regards to you all!”

Jean Beckwith Funk shared: “All is well, we ( Jean and Paul Funk) have no big news to report! We’re both still working but find time to visit our oldest son, John, in Portland, OR and our youngest, Mark, in Los Angeles. Our middle son, David, and his wonderful wife, Roni, will be moving to Spokane, WA so it seems the Pacific Northwest will increasingly become our home away from home. We spent 10 days this July in Santa Fe, with loads of family and friends in and out to enjoy hiking, golf, Santa Fe Opera, volunteering at the International Folk Art Market, and hitting the most irresistible food trucks. A bike trip to Normandy is upcoming. It’s all about keeping the knees and hips in working order these days, right? We send hellos to all!”

John Moore (and wife Kim) have been living in Connecticut for the past six years after moving from Hermosa Beach, CA. Prior to that we lived in Ft. Lauderdale, FL, where we met. John moved there from Marin County, CA and Marblehead, MA before that!

For classmates in the Princeton and greater Princeton area we hope that you will come; bring your spouse and/or family. We hope to see you there in Princeton in May 2019.

Kip Herrick O’Brien wrote: “Now that both of my kids have moved out of the Northeast (one in San Francisco, the other in Ukraine), I decided it was time for a change for me as well. In June, I moved to West Palm Beach, FL. On my drive down, I stopped to see Ruth Barach Cox in Durham, NC. As usual, we shared many stories, and laughs, about our time at PDS. Forty+ years later, we are still good friends, but don’t know how we got so old!!! She has a very successful painting restoration company down there. She restores art for many of the local (and not so local) museums in the South. She showed me some ‘before’ and ‘after’ examples of her work, which was incredible. She’s extremely talented at her craft and Arlene Smith would be proud! As for me, I have moved my interior design business down to Florida (www.kipobriendesign@gmail. com). I hope to continue working for my NY and CT clients, so I will have many excuses to get back to the NYC area! I look forward to exploring Florida, and I would love to hear from any of our classmates who are planning to be in the Palm Beach area this winter.

Kip Herrick O’Brien ’75 and Ruth Barach Cox ’75 had a mini reunion.

The PDS family was on my mind (Yuki) during the summer, having read of the passing of Gary Salup’s father, attended the funeral service for Sally Schluter Tardella’s father, and attended the memorial service for Gay Wilmerding’s father. The passing of our parents and extended families, who were part of our PDS experience, almost as much as our teachers and classmates, gives us all pause. They certainly left their imprint on all our lives. As we approach another significant reunion in 18 months, let me wish you good cheer and good health.

Bill McClellan wrote to the Alumni Office that for the second year in a row he was the instructor of a PDS student at the Overland Camp Canoe School.

Sally Lincoln Jeffery wrote that she and her husband live in Ellijay GA, where ten years ago they opened Isaiah House, a Level III recovery home for men with substance use disorder. She is the Director of Operations and Addictions Counselor. Sally says that it has been a privilege and honor to witness so many lives changed and that she enjoys being able to work with her husband.

Caren Ludmer ’76 with her three children Caren Ludmer lives in San Francisco with her seven-year-old twins, Andre and Aiden. Her older son, Antonio (23) recently graduated from Stevens Institute of Technology. Caren works as a psychologist in private practice, and is willing to bet that she wins the prize for oldest birth mom in our class.

Gwyneth Hamel Iredale shared that she’s living in Eugene, OR after stints in NYC and San Francisco, working at branding and software companies. Always active, she discovered mountain biking and whaleboat rowing/racing, and even ran with the Hash House Harriers, an international running club of “drinkers with a running problem.” Now divorced, she is a single mom to an aspiring pilot son and a

daughter who is still in school. Gwyneth said to please look her up if you’re ever up that way!

Jonathan Stein’s love of cars continues with a trip to the UK, where he will be a study leader for a Smithsonian Journeys trip to explore the automotive factories and museums in England.

He keeps up with Rocky Adams, Tim Frey and Carl Spataro, from time to time, and with yours truly.

From hanging out on FB, I’ve watched a number of classmates from afar and can share some observed news. Forgive me if I get things wrong or offer incomplete info, but being a fly on the wall is not the same thing as receiving news from the source (hint, hint).

E.J. (Eleanor) Barnes lives in Cambridge, MA and is an artist and illustrator. Also in Cambridge is Carol Bundy. Carl Spataro lives in and works for Middlesex County, NJ. Julie Stabler Hull is a globetrotter on a major scale. She’s based in Shoreline, WA, with her husband Tom, and together they climb mountains and hike remote parts of the planet, as they support worthwhile causes around the world. Ann McClure Noel resides in Milton, VT. Her recent posts showed her mom still going strong with a cycling adventure in Portland, ME, with other seniors. Janet Flemer lives in San Francisco and makes trips east to see her mom in NJ and other family on the coast. Cintra Eglin Willcox shares the heat and humidity of New Orleans with her husband, Wayne. They had quite the adventure some years ago evacuating from Katrina, and were fortunate to return safely to find their home habitable. Alyssa Oxley is a glass artist who teaches classes locally (Vergennes, VT) and occasionally at Corning Glass. Jay Trubee became a chef and owns Jillian’s, where he lives in Palm Desert, CA. I am gathering from the number of travel pics lately that he has decided to enjoy some time off. Carol Johnson leads an active life in Pacific Palisades, CA. There are many posts of water, horses and family. Andy Besser also calls Pacific Palisades home, where he seems to enjoy golf and getting out and about. I haven’t talked with Sheila Newsome Maddox since reunion before last, but know that she’s an attorney whose kids have grown and that she’s still in the Princeton area. Eleanor Kuser is fairly active on FB and occasionally shares posts about her son, Emilio, and her travels.

Doc (David O’Connor) lives in LA, and based on the recent volume of international photos, I’m thinking has retired. Billy Erdman is in Wenham, MA. Not sure what he’s up to, but the fishing and family pics sure look like fun.

FB shows Mark Blaxill’s current home as Princeton, but I know that he travels a lot for his role as a health activist. Greg Matthews is in Preston, CT with a job in Manhattan. His kiddo, Easton, looks just like his dad! I’m not sure where Carl Erdman resides or what he’s up to. A post in the spring offered a picture of him behind a keyboard and a reference to Fall 2018

DNRtheband.com. Jennifer Walsh seems to balance her time between Jamestown, RI and Key West. She takes very inviting photos, no doubt as a result of her art training. Rhoda Jaffin Murray lives in Summit, NJ and looks as she did in high school! So does Sandy Shaw, who is enjoying the outdoor life in Idaho.

Joanne Kind Hinton, my old locker mate chum, is in Philly (Doylestown area, I think?).

Molly Murdoch Finnell resides in Skillman and has remained active locally. Judy Glogau is practicing veterinary medicine in Hopewell, and judging by her posts is longing to visit or move to Alaska. She’s also a huge football (soccer) fan. John Brinster landed in Pennington and works in the travel industry.

Scott Houston is local and enjoys sharing pictures with the “I grew up in Princeton” FB group. Allyson Wislar’s base is Redding, CA, where she, like everyone in that neck of the woods, is dealing with the threat of drought and wildfires. Marc Greco owns Greco Orthodontics in Mercerville, NJ. Ann Minot lives in Gilbert, AZ, where she works as an outpatient wound nurse. Olly Roberts now calls Durham, NC home. Cynthia Packard is an artist residing in Provincetown, MA. Tom Moore can be found in Manchesterby-the-Sea, MA—and boy do those lobsters in his profile pic look good! Virgie Rodgers Hoyt is in Lake Placid, NY. Nan Giancola Walsh practices law in DC, and Ann Wittke Morrissey is not far away in the Baltimore area. From the “some things never change” category: Murray Wilmerding is still riding his bike all over God’s creation and in all kinds of crazy weather. His base of operations is Old Lyme, CT. Creigh Duncan lives in Princeton with her dad and a number of cute creatures, and remains entrenched in the horse world. She judges horse shows and manages a number of showing events.

Facebook has its limitations in that if you don’t post anything it’s kinda hard to know what’s up. Mike Mantell lives in Princeton but hasn’t posted anything at all this year. Bill Baggitt and Davis Yokana are “on” FB, but never make appearances. Didn’t want to leave you guys out, though!

I (Kathy) moved to DC after college, where I worked as a buyer for Hecht’s (later bought by Macy’s), met my telecom husband, and moved to Dallas for his job in 1990. I’ve raised two sons, Will (25) and Christian (22), and after a stint with Caterpillar and some contract bookkeeping while the boys were younger, I launched my own business enterprise over four years ago. Building my biz is a blast, and I’m loving finding new ways to grow it.

I’ve invited everyone for whom I have an email address to join the class in our private FB group, and I hope you’ll not only come but will also update everyone on your interests and goings on. That’ll at least give me more to report next time ;-) JOURNAL

Sandra Benson Cress calle de l’Avenir 47 08021 Barcelona, Spain sbcress@aol.com

Hello, all. It seems it’s been a quiet year for most of the ’77ers since our 40th reunion last year. Still, those who have responded seem to be enjoying life, perhaps slowing down a pace, and, according to the photos and news shared, getting out and enjoying nature.

Jennifer Weiss reported: “Just Pete Buck ’77 (third from right) and family at son, returned from a family trip to the Henry’s wedding Canadian Rockies with my husband, Bruce, son, Max, who’s in law school at and working in the conservation and recreGeorgetown, and daughter, Anna, who’s pursuational fishing world. Callie is taking a break ing a PhD in Counseling Psychology at Boston from the finance world and is working in the College. Grateful for the time together. We are wedding and event design space. living in Cary, NC and working in Raleigh.

Harrison is ple aging out of foster care with the resources a photographer and influencer in the outdoor and support they need for a successful transigear world as TheGearDog. Mallory is an intetion to adulthood. All the best to Class of ’77.” rior architect and independent contractor. Both of my wonderful daughters-in-law are graduates of Darien High School.

“Our daughter, Caroline ’09, who spent JK-5th grade at PDS, is in Manhattan and enjoying an action packed career selling residential real estate for Brown Harris Stevens. She is dating a Larry!

Who happens to be a great guy. I’m glad I didn’t have to face him in lacrosse and hockey.

“Nancy and I are bouncing around and involved in our communities where we live work and play via The Horizon Foundation, our family foundation. Tennis, salt-water flyfishing, golf and skiing are shared interests, and anything that gets our family together.

Jenn Weiss ’77 with her family From Pete Buck: “As a bit player in the world of social media, I am in touch with very few classmates, but remain curious about all of them. We had a great class and hit PDS during some really wonderful years for the school, and the town of Princeton.

Our son, Henry ’08, who spent his JK – sixth grade at PDS, married a Hobart and William Smith classmate this summer, Callie Frelinghuysen. Some of you may remember her father, Denis, who grew up in Princeton and was a regular at Sunday afternoon pick up hockey at the rink. The wedding was on Cape Cod and was all we could have hoped for. Henry’s PDS classmate Taylor Kenyon ’08 was in the wedding party and Kevin and Jane Henderson Kenyon ’79 made the trip along with Tom ’78 and Tracey Gates. Hen and Callie live in Coral Gables, Florida, and he works for the Bonefish and Tarpon Trust. He is loving the lifestyle

“I had lunch with Paul Stellato about a year ago. What a thoughtful and dialed-in head of school. I must say PDS is on a great trajectory and quite worthy of our financial support. That is all for now. Miss you all and wish you the best.”

Quinn McCord responded: “Just turned 60 with the obligatory parties (one in New Jersey and a big one in Delaware). Brother David ’79, sister Lindsay ’83 and my mother, Pat McCord, PDS teacher of 20 years, all arrived to help celebrate! Things have never been better. Trying to retire soon! Chef life is hard! Mary Eileen and I are planning a cross-country trip when retirement comes. All of the family is back on the East Coast now that younger son Patrick is back East. Quinn, the younger, is working at BCBS in Philly. Mary Eileen and I spent 10 days in Ireland and had a blast, even weathering a hurricane on the last day! Living the dream and awaiting the next adventure. Stop

by Dover Downs or come see us in Milton, DE and share a cold one at Dogfish Head with us.”

Happy to hear from Tim Brush: “We sold our Crested Butte house of seven years 14 months ago. Instead of relocating to Salida, as we first planned, we bought land near Gunnison along the Gunnison River, and will break ground on a house in September. We’ll keep the Breckenridge house while its value continues to climb.

in the lives of those less fortunate than us. We just sold our house and we are moving into a new condominium in August of next year.

Condominium life here we come!”

“We still ride our mountain bikes and hike with our dogs a lot, but less than usual, thanks to our rafting addiction.

“I began photographing wildlife exclusively about 12 years ago, when I was inspired by a trip to Australia. I focus exclusively on New Jersey wildlife, hoping to encourage people to appreciate the incredible nature right in our backyard. It’s amazing what lives with us in the Princeton area: breeding Bald Eagles, minks and beavers, beautiful little spring warblers, and winter ducks that look like Disney designed them. I have a website at peargrin.smugmug. com, and have a couple thousand followers on Twitter. I have given talks to a few groups of young children, which I found especially rewarding. My website is: https://peargrin. smugmug.com/”

“As for fun stuff, we bought a 14’ self-bailing raft and all the gear for multi-day river trips.

So far we’ve been on six trips for a total of 17 days, mostly on two stretches of the Colorado River (Ruby-Horsethief-Westwater Canyons, below Grand Junction, and the Upper Colorado, below Kremmling), and a fiveday trip on the Green River through Dinosaur National Monument.

“I’ve been in brief touch with Ted Stabler, who is building a house in Durango, about five hours southwest of Breck. Not sure when we’ll get there to visit, but we will soon. That’s it for this edition of the PDS Journal.”

Mark ‘Z’ Zawadsky added: “My wife, Sarah, and I just spent yesterday with the Stanley Cup. Had the opportunity from my time as the assistant team MD for the Champion Washington Capitals. Champagne tastes great drinking from the Cup!” C’mon Z, we’d love to see a photo of that!!

From Clooie Sherman: “Basically, all is well here in the Northwest corner. We had a great family reunion in May. Alas, we lost an aunt in July, which is very sad. The first of the matriarchs in the family to go. I did get to see her before she died, which was very meaningful.

“My business is stable: I lost one client, but gained additional hours at another.

“Our home is fine, though we lost two trees in our backyard (one just fell over, and the other was rotten). The smoke from the summer wildfires is a new thing here. This is the second summer I’ve been aware of it. A little scary to be breathing it when you can see the particulate on the ground. Otherworldly, fuchsia sunsets are both pretty and alarming. But no, there’s no such thing as climate change.

“All the best to everyone and hold your loved ones tight in your hearts.”

Randy Melville added: “Briefly, in terms of me, after 25 years of working at PepsiCo I’m hanging up my cleats; I just retired effective the beginning of this year. We also have started a family foundation (Melville Family Foundation), whose sole mission is to close the educational and opportunity gap of black and brown children in southern Dallas. We just received our tax exemption status from the IRS… Have a superb board of directors… Our website should be operational in a few weeks…

And we have adopted a school that is in a disadvantaged neighborhood of southern Dallas.

We are so excited about making a difference

Leigh Faden shared: “The only thing of interest I can think of is that my wildlife photography and I were the cover feature of the April 2018 edition of the Princeton Echo, a sister publication of US1. I was so honored to see one of my local eagle photographs in newspaper dispensers around town. The bad weather this summer limited photography, but I did manage to capture photographs of very rare visitors to New Jersey, a flock of Black Bellied Whistling Ducks.

Their usual range is the far south US to Brazil.

Welcome to climate change...

From Harold Tanner, who is still a professor of Chinese History at U. North Texas: “Been a rather boring year . . . nothing to report! I will try to do something dramatic in 2018-19… My youngest child is in his second year at Austin College (confusingly located in Sherman, TX, not in Austin). Time is going fast!”

Alex Zaininger added: “No earth-shattering changes to report here. Amely and I are still dividing our time between Sydney (75%) and Munich (25%), spending time with our children (UK) and parents (Düsseldorf and Princeton). This has been a summer of weddings (mainly children of friends) and 60th birthdays. We’ve had our first ‘boomerang’ child; our eldest daughter recently returned to Sydney after eight years of UK med school, and working as a newly minted doctor. Our son has just completed his first year of his PhD at Oxford, and our youngest starts med school in Belfast in the fall. The cacophony of accents at home is hilarious to hear!

(Aussie, Oxbridge, Irish, US) Both of us are still enjoying work but are slowly starting to plan ‘the next phase’ of our lives. And we are still waiting for classmates to drop in ‘down under!’”

Andrea Avery Renault contributed: “I have little new news since last year’s gathering at Livia’s lovely home. I am, however, starting a new master’s program at CUNY in Media Studies. After 25 years in the media and news business, I am enjoying the possibility to look at media with new eyes in light of the rapidly

changing field. I highly recommend a return to education. A few years back, I got my first master’s degree in Applied Linguistics and realized that I enjoyed the process of studying a lot more now than way back when we were all in college for the first time.”

Claire Treves Bezel added: “I’m enjoying having my two adult children back from the Mid-West and living under our roof for the past few months before they transition, at some point, to apartments in NYC. My daughter, Emma just completed her MBE (Master’s in Biomedical Ethics) and is a research administrator at Einstein in the Bronx. She is planning to apply to medical school next year. My son, Aaron, just started a very unique dual master’s program in journalism and computer science at Columbia. He’s an aspiring data journalist.

I love hearing about what they are doing every day and dread the empty nest syndrome, soon to be upon me again.

“As for me, I’m on my second career, focused on keeping our family place (fifth generation, since 1883!) in Italy, which I co-own with my brother, George PDS ’71, going and thriving.

We rent the villa (breakfast and housekeeping included!) to travelers looking to stay near Rome and tour around central Italy. We sell our grapes wholesale to a local producer (saving some for home brew made in the basement) of Frascati Superiore, and I sell our own small production of extra virgin olive oil here in the states to the folks on my emailing list. If you are interested in connecting: www. casalesonnino.com or claire@casalesonnino. com. Facebook: Casale Sonnino Italian Villa.

Read our 5-star reviews on www.homeaway. com/vacation-rental/p237093 and come to Italy! We would love to hear from our friends from Princeton and PDS.”

And from Simeon Hutner: “I am finally remembering to get some notes to you! It was terrific seeing everyone last year at our class reunion, but I think the only PDS classmate I’ve seen recently is Andrew Hildick-Smith and his wife, Hughie — unfortunately not under the best of circumstances: it was at a memorial service in Princeton for his wonderful mother, who had died. But his son, Gordon, is getting married in September, so I will see them all again in a happier setting. All is well

with our family, but with five- and nine-yearolds, Sandra and I don’t expect to have any grandchildren news for a very long time — our youngest is starting kindergarten in the fall!

I’ve been busy working on a number of documentaries, including most recently, Cooked, about a heat wave in Chicago in 1995 that killed 739 people. The film looks at the connection between the deaths and the systemic racism over the course of generations that made the victims of the disaster so vulnerable. It should air on PBS in the next year or so.”

Rob McClellan chimed in: “Interesting summer for the McClellan family; Garrett, a senior now at West Windsor HS South, was able to spend the month of August as a tour photographer for a musical artist.

He visited Honolulu, Los Angeles, Miami, Seattle and all the major cities in Canada.

He has about 30k Instagram followers; see his work at garrettbrucephoto.com. Cassie, now 25, is a project manager at Mathmatica Policy Research in Princeton (hello Karen Morgenstern!). Wife Linda is at Terhune Orchards doing all kinds of things and loving it. As for me, the Civil Air Patrol squadron I command, Twin Pine, was just selected as the National Squadron of Distinction: the best of about 1,400 units. The whole family went to Anaheim, CA, to pick up the award at the CAP National Conference. Best wishes to all ’77s!” (Congratulations, Rob!!!)

Rob McClellan ’77 and his family after Rob received an award for his Civil Air Patrol squadron Keith Usiskind reported: “Celebrated my 30th anniversary in Alaska. Kayaked the Ailac Glacier with Michelle. Kenai Fjords Alaska.

Beautiful! These glaciers are receding fast...sad.”

JOURNAL

we moved from eight years ago, and spent a week visiting family and friends. We were able to go with my stepmom to Bimini, Bahamas, for three days—that was really special. Our son leaves for Rowan University as a freshman the day after Labor Day. He continues to serve our country in the Air Force Reserves so he will be home one weekend a month to work at the base by our house.

Anne Dennison Fleming ’77 with her husband Steve on Camel’s Hump As for me, Sandra, it’s been a crazy year… this summer and fall, we are trying mightily to complete our relocation to Barcelona.

Husband Doug moved his offices for the World Association of Zoos and Aquariums (WAZA) there as of June, and I’m hoping to follow soon—but there is a home to prepare to rent, car to sell, cats to ship—all the fun cleanup details that seem to get harder with each move, while Doug is traveling all around the globe, from Thailand to Russia, Argentina to South Korea, and beyond. While we are looking forward to life in Barcelona, we will miss our long-time home in Portland terribly.

This August, we celebrated my mother’s 90th birthday in Rome and Lago Maggiore (as well as our own 33rd wedding anniversary), and the complete side of my family (my three brothers, four spouses, two grand-kids) gathered for the first time since my mother’s 80th! Grateful for my mom’s continued good health and vitality, as well as my own (!). Wishing you all peace and health for you and yours.

Tom Gates wrote: “Grandchild due in Portland, OR, in early January to our son, Ren, and his wife, Jenna. Reunions were very fun; enjoyed seeing the crew greatly!”

Suzanne Vine wrote: “Here is a quick update from me. I’m still living in Amsterdam, the Netherlands and enjoying the traveling we are lucky enough to do, and the visitors I get to see. In June, Sabrina Barton and her husband Phil travelled here from Augsburg, Germany, where Phil was a visiting professor for the summer. We ate and drank and laughed for the weekend. In July, Jay Itzkowitz came to town for work, and we caught up over dinner one evening.”

Barbara Vaughn Hoimes wrote: “It was a blast seeing everyone who came back for our 40th reunion, and a huge thank-you to Barbie Griffin Cole for hosting the awesome Friday night dinner, which was a weekend highlight. This summer, I had shows of new photography work at two different galler-

Everything else is status quo.”

Nancy Chen Cavanaugh wrote: “In August, my husband, Steve, and I spent a week with my sister’s family (Victoria Chen PDS ’84), in Washington DC. Weather was very hot and vacation involved lots of walking. One of the days we logged 28,000 steps, which translates to 14 miles. The trip was well worth the steps since we were able to tour the Capitol, Library of Congress and even the White House. Spending time with our two nephews is always rewarding, too!

As we pass from the heat waves of summer to the season of pumpkin spice everything, we bring you news of a few of our classmates.

Jeff Hudgins said: “I’m on the Corporate Events team at SAS Institute, a global business analytics company, headquartered in North Carolina. I’ve been with them for 20 years. I produce many events around the globe each year, the largest of which is SAS GLOBAL FORUM, which hosts 6,000 users and customers of our software. I am blessed to design and produce this event each year. This year’s event included special presentations from Adam Savage, Peyton Manning, Carey Lohrenz, Jon Meacham, Dan Heath and, of course, our CEO, COO and CMO. It’s a one-shot wonder that takes place in a different US location each year, which means new design and content as well. I am truly fortunate in my career.” If you ever find yourself in Boston, Hudge, let Martha Hicks and me know—we’d love to see you!

Laurie Habgood Carpenter: “In January, I left a 35-year career in international and corporate finance to pursue a Master’s in Couples and Family Therapy at William James College, and to broaden my role in the effort to help support the growing number of families who have a loved one with substance use disorders. I also enjoy volunteering/supporting Learn to Cope, Barry’s House, and Matt’s Homestead, and look forward to a practicum at North Shore Recovery High School in the fall.”

Nick Donath: “Since I last reported, life has unloaded, as it often does. There has been loss (my mom, Marianne, passed this April 16 after 94 amazing years), heartache (my fiveyear relationship ended), and pain (my car was rear-ended on the freeway—I guess she didn’t look up from texting in time to read my license plate: ISUYU). But that storm has now passed, and I continue to be grateful for the best friends money can buy (Evan Press excepted), a growing law practice, my tennis game (a gift from my parents when growing up in Princeton), my peaceful mornings at home, my amazing education, and the ability to pay my bills! Call or email when in Sin City.”

In July, Betsy Stephens Ellsworth, the Director of College Counseling at Greenhills School in Michigan, attended a conference in Wellesley, just one town over from me, Cathy White Mertz. We managed to get together for a long

There’s nothing like reconnecting with old friends, getting to know each other on levels we couldn’t have imagined in school.

We would also like to offer our thoughts and sympathies to Caroline Hartshorne, whose father, Nathaniel Hartshorne, passed in March 2018. He was 91.

We also express our sincere sympathies to Dave’s wife, Suellen, and his daughters, Elaine and Serena. Dave will be dearly missed by all who knew and loved him. Please see ’83 class notes.

4+ from the previous race. Right afterwards, as we were putting the oars back in the trailer and congratulating ourselves on surviving it all, I got the call. My father had died, probably as we started the race. It turned into a very different day: the goodbye, attending to my stepmother, the town coroner, notifying family…. Once again, Fenn handled the situation with the same gentle strength. I could not have asked for a better double partner, or travel companion for that day.”

Lindsay Suter shared: “Last fall, my older son, Fenn, had finally gotten into rowing. (I guess all those boring stories about crew actually kindled a spark in him. That, and the fact that his godparents were elite rowers. Life-long friends from the days when I took the sport far too seriously.) So imagine my surprise when my 15-year old asked me if I wanted to race a double scull with him. I pinched myself—nope, I wasn’t dreaming. Knowing the mercurial moods of young adults, I agreed on the spot, figuring this could be my only chance. I did not consider that I was woefully out of shape, and had not touched an oar since the day before he was born (no coincidence there). But soon it was settled: we would enter the mid-Atlantic’s premier fall race, the Head of the Schuylkill, and visit my aging father in Princeton afterwards. I called in some favors and got a boat for us, and dusted off some old oars. We even got in a few practice rows before the big day. I was so keen to give Fenn a good experience. I must have been a wreck. Right before our race he reassured me, ‘Don’t worry Dad, all we have to do is finish. Oh, and let’s not hit anyone.’ The race went remarkably well. Fenn was strong and steady, unflappable despite my flawed steering and an errant novice

Carl Taggert wrote that the last few years have been busy ones. “On a personal front, I remarried on April 29, 2017 in Bermuda, at Rosewood Tuckers Point, to my long-term girlfriend, Kim Mayhew. It was a beachfront wedding with our toes in the sand and I was joined by PDS alums and friends: David Bogle and his wife, Kathy, and Ken Becker ’85 and his long-term girlfriend, Tina. The day was magnificent and the small group of close friends and family (33 in total) that traveled to be with us was the perfect way to celebrate.

Not sure I could have asked for it any more perfect! Kim and I are in the process of combining two separate households into one, in Wayne, PA, just outside of Philadelphia.

“Next on the personal front, I dropped off my first child, my son, Jeff, at Rowan University on 8/27! Wow what a day! He is a freshman engineering major and looking forward to the next four years. I have a daughter, Ellie, who is starting her sophomore year in high school so the college search will begin again shortly as she looks to go into interior design. Or at least that is the plan today. She may change her mind... yet again!

“Lastly on a professional front, I continue my work in healthcare for one of the largest healthcare performance improvement companies, Vizient. My prior company was bought two years ago by our biggest competitor, and I took a leadership role as VP Sales and Client Management in the combined company. We continue to grow very fast and I love my role.

Being able to help our hospitals improve outcomes and reduce costs is incredibly satisfying for me, and our company leads our industry.

seeing nine national parks on two trips, the wedding in Bermuda, and various other fun excursions, it has been a great yet exhausting past three years!”

Kristin Naumann wrote with news from the Merrimack Valley region of Massachusetts: “I live in Boxford, MA in an antique house built in the 1860s. I share home with two horses, one Bernese Mountain dog and assorted cats and chickens—and my 19-year-old daughter, Esmé, when she’s home from college. My ex, Matt, and I run a small architectural practice, Fishbrook Design Studio, in Haverhill, MA. As the Director of Design, I work as an architect and interior designer on a gamut of projects including an innovative collaboration with our classmate, David Becker. David is now the System Vice President of Covenant Health for the Greater Boston Area. When he’s not attending a NE Patriots home game, David ‘keeps busy’ as an EMT for a regional ambulance service—a vocation he began with the Princeton Rescue Squad while a PDS senior. His work in the world of long-term health facilities and rehabilitation hospitals has crossed over with my specialty, medical interiors. For David’s rehabilitation center in Haverhill, MA, we are developing a unique therapy environment designed to simulate real life activities for rehab patients. The center will feature an actual car, a subway car interior and a grocery store, among other installations intended to help patients regain strength and mobility. Working with David is a pleasure and we usually get sidetracked comparing notes about Princeton friends/family.

As for me, I (Lorraine) began a new role as Sales and Operations Director, responsible for four Kohler Signature Stores located in Minneapolis, Milwaukee, Kansas City and Detroit. I enjoy the challenge of a new role and visiting my cities. Mike and I remain in the Chicago area, although I’m not sure how many more cold winters I want to endure here.

Sadly, Dave Albahary of Rhinebeck, NY, passed away on June 21, 2018, after a 17-month battle with pancreatic cancer. A devoted husband and father, he leaves his wife of 22 years, Suellen, and 16-year-old daughters, Serena and Elaine. Dave was known for his sense of humor, kind nature and being a devoted volunteer to many civic organizations.

A Skidmore College graduate, Dave worked in radio and television media for many years.

Later, he transitioned to financial services, where he worked for Charles Schwab and earned his C.F.P. designation. In 2004, Dave founded his independent investment advisory firm through which he managed client assets and focused on retirement and college planning. He was a sports enthusiast and a lifelong, loyal fan of the San Francisco Giants and the Indianapolis Colts. Dave was taken from us decades before his time, and his passing, without a doubt, leaves big holes in our hearts.

Abby Hurowitz Davis shared that Sarah Kuser recently came up from Tucson to Phoenix for a meeting, and the two had lunch together. “It was great catching up with her! We enjoyed going through the Link and seeing our old photos.

What a hoot!”

I (Rena), too, was recently in touch with Sarah Kuser after she had posted a great old photo of her riding horses (bareback) with former classmate Jocelyn Alexander. Joss went to PDS in lower and middle school—I don’t recall the exact years, but it was roughly third through sixth grades. I remember Joss well and wondered whatever happened to her after her family left Princeton for Montana. After a brief online search, I found her! She has lived in England for much of her adult life and is currently a Professor of Commonwealth Studies, Department of International Development at Oxford University.

Joss specializes in the social and political history of southern Africa. She is the co-author of two books on the subject and is currently writing a history of political imprisonment in Zimbabwe.

“I love my work and am very happily engaged in Oxford life, my garden, jogging, travel, and a little bit of a pottery obsession. I visited Princeton a couple of years ago and felt so nostalgic. I was stunned to see the same old trees in Marquand Park that I had climbed on as a kid.”

Sylvia Wills Millar wrote, “Life is good. I continue to teach theology as an adjunct professor at Southeastern University and work during the day in wealth management.”

Sherri Benson Small ’83 and her husband celebrated their 25th wedding anniversary in Aruba.

Sherri Benson Small shared, “My husband and I were blessed to celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary with a vow renewal celebration in Aruba. Sending my third child off to college at NJIT, woo hoo! Working in project management in NYC. Appreciating and enjoying life.

Suzanne Utaski Gibbs published her second book this year: My Year of Separation: A Collection of Essays Examining the Impossible Task of Separation from Self.

I’ve decided to try something new. I thought it would be fun to try to be better connected, by randomly picking classmates, who, I believe, have never written any class notes since graduation?

Could Liza Wakefield, Julie Yoo, Amy Mayer, Jon Nicolai, Scott Roberts and Jason Shaplen write in? It would be GREAT to hear what you’ve done since PDS and what you are doing now and where? Let’s stay better connected!

Greetings! It time to highlight news from our ’92 classmates…

Jud Henderson wrote that all is well in Princeton and shares the shocking news that “Our oldest (Maisie) is now in 10th grade at PDS, which is hitting a little close to home!”

Wow! Where did time go?

Ben Frost shared that “After 17 years, I decided to leave Morgan Stanley and join Goldman Sachs as a partner in their investment banking division. I will sit within both the Consumer Retail and Mergers groups. While taking some time off between the two positions, my wife, Stacey, daughters, Alexa (14) and Parker (10), and I also moved into a new apartment on the Upper West Side. Hopefully, that is enough change to last me a decade or so.” I certainly hope so too, Ben! That is quite a list of accomplishments!

Alison Cho also had a lot to share on the professional and personal front. “I have changed industries, and currently work at Synchronous Technologies as an HR Business Partner. It’s my first time working for a software company and it is a big cultural change having worked in medical devices for the past four years. But I wanted to try something new as I did not want to get pigeonholed into manufacturing. It’s been an interesting ride so far! On a family front, I have two beautiful boys who are finishing up their preschool years, with the eldest starting kindergarten this year. It’s amazing that it’s already five years; my husband and I really need to get serious about saving money for college! My younger brother, Ed Cho PDS ’96, is currently working as a mar-

keting manager for Cisco and has been a great uncle to my boys. He makes an effort to see them on a regular basis, despite living half the world away in Southern California.”

As to my news, I continue to live in Manhattan with my family and I’ve enjoyed some time away this summer. My daughter, Maia, went to sleep away camp for three and a half weeks, and I was grateful to get a super tight hug when I picked her up! My company, MAIA Education Resource Center, continues to expand and it’s kept me, and my husband, busy. I travelled to Sao Paulo, Brazil, this August for work and I spoke at a few large venues on the topic of “Raising Healthy Children and Teens in the Age of Technology.” It got a lot of media coverage, which may mean more interviews and traveling to Brazil in the near future.

Greetings class of 2003! I hope all who attended the 15-year reunion had a blast! I’m sorry to have missed it and am looking forward to our 20th! I am still living in Seattle and working in advertiser product management at Amazon.

On November 3, 2018, I married John Joseph D’Ascenzo and was thrilled to have many dear PDS classmates in attendance.

Chris Campbell wrote: “I really enjoyed catching up with our classmates and many of our fantastic teachers at our 15th reunion in May! Since then, Melissa and I have had a busy summer. I had the opportunity to whiz her around in an F-16 in June, and we are now on vacation in the Caribbean celebrating our 10th wedding anniversary. I am still testpiloting the F-35 and enjoying every moment of it. Alas, the Air Force will be moving our family for the seventh time next summer. We have no idea where yet, but we’re hoping for the East Coast to be near extended family.

The adventure continues.”

While I didn’t consent to appearing on their social media pages, I nonetheless ended up appreciating the dialogue it started and have learned a lot.

“Moving forward, I expect to be buzzing along with a life filled with work and friends unless someone wants to socialize with me. In that case, I am free 24/7, just name a time and a place. While I am currently suffering through the oppressive heat, it brings me back to the days on the varsity football team during our pre-season two-a-days and reminds me that I probably have some form of CTE but that it was MORE than worth it to win two games in three years. The point is, a penny still is money.

Lena Zlock ‘15, now a senior at Stanford, made the Stanford News recently for her tenacious work to make Voltaire’s 6,700-book library, which has been locked inside Russia’s Hermitage Palace in St. Petersburg, available to everyone. We caught up with Lena to congratulate her strenuous efforts to “create a three-dimensional portrait of Voltaire’s mind,” as she puts it, and she reflected on her time at Princeton Day School: “PDS gave me the foundation to embark on my own independent research, and the skills to read, write and think critically. I am eternally grateful to my teachers on the Great Road who gave their time, effort and, occasionally, books to fuel my passion for the humanities. Without the close faculty connections, the small classroom sizes, or the generous course offerings at PDS, I would have neither the capacity nor the confidence to undertake the Voltaire Library Project.”

An August New York Times article featured a new brand consulting company, JÜV, founded by friends including four PDS alums from the Class of 2017; the company aims to make the style and voice of their generation seen and heard. CEO Ziad Ahmed ’17 shared: “This past summer, eight members of the JÜV team lived/ worked together building out this company, hustling for Generation Z’s seat at every table. Four of those eight members are PDS ’17 alumni: Nick Jain, Jacob Chang, Itai Fruchter, and myself. Our team always jokes that we, PDS kids, are so extra—but I feel really lucky to have met such phenomenal people during my time at PDS who make me excited to get to do the work that I do. Beyond that, there are a few people specifically at PDS who have been instrumental in shaping who I am today—namely Sra. Simonds and Ms. Lee. Itai, Nick and I developed a lot of our rapport in Ms. Lee’s class as she encouraged us to listen more and be thoughtful, always. Sra. Simonds was my advisor in high school, and is someone I continue to go to for advice often. The people I met at PDS have made JÜV/my reality that much better and bolder.”

Kevin Hagan: “This summer I trained a lot for soccer and also worked on an app for my school. The app rewards students for going to sporting events by tracking their location and giving them points if they are at an event when it is going on. Then the students can spend the points at different places on campus. The soccer team just went to a trip to Italy where we scrimmaged three Italian club teams. We won all three games and visited Milan, Pisa, Venice and other cities. When we got back we had our first scrimmage, which we won 3-0; I had two goals. In our first official game we won 2-1; I scored with 1:18 left in regulation.”

Peter Klein: “I have just started my third year in the School of Architecture at The University of Notre Dame. For our third year, our whole class lives abroad in Rome where we study the

Nick added: “We built the idea that Ziad and I had come up with over two years ago into a true reality, and I could not be more grateful to have had this experience. From four-hour long client meetings, to late-night brainstorming sessions, to playing a made up game somewhat resembling volleyball across our loft, I really believe that I was able to grow more as a person than I ever had before. Beyond that, I had the amazing opportunity to meet so many people from across the world, work closely with executives at major Fortune 500 companies, and learn what it means to run a successful business. But what is truly most empowering is to be able to look forward and know that we are just getting started!” See pds.org for full news story and link to NYT article.

Cierra Moore wrote: “This summer I spent two months in Spain, living in Toledo for the first half and Zaragoza for the second.

For the first month, I took two fascinating classes on Spanish history and culture, and I was fortunate to have all of Spain as my classroom from el Museo Del Prado in Madrid to my host family’s apartment. The second program was for pre-med students, in which I shadowed doctors at a teaching hospital in Zaragoza. I learned so much while being immersed in both the Spanish language and a medical environment.”

Over the summer, Linnéa Eberly received her scuba diving certification to dive up to 100 feet deep. She took an online course, did four closedwater dives in a swimming pool, which were followed by four open-water dives in a very cold lake! After another five dives, she received her advanced certification, which included specialized instruction such as deep, wreck and night diving. Her favorite part was being able to see fish and other aquatic life, although she noted that the water was so cold at these depths that it was necessary to wear hoods, gloves and other protective gear. Linnea received these certifications in the hopes of taking a scientific diving course sometime during college, in which she would learn to gather specimens and study life underwater, including doing underwater photography and videography.

And this just in from Dawne Simon-Ponte, Damali Simon-Ponte’s mom: Damali is doing very well at Delaware, adjusting well to the academic and soccer experience. She was recently Delaware’s named Rookie of the Week.

Jacob Chang ’17, Nick Jain ’17, Itai Fruchter ’17, Ziad Ahmed ’17 (l-r) have started a new company.

Devon Wenzel spent the summer preparing to attend Hogwarts in the fall by rereading the Harry Potter series, practicing her axethrowing in Montréal, and watching her cats catch too many mice.
