As we roar through this school year, I have made—and tried to keep—a promise to myself, one which I have shared with the faculty several times: to look back at the last 20 months as infrequently as possible, taking what few lessons there are for us there and shaking off vigorously the hold it seemed to have on us for too long. Proud as we are of all we accomplished since the clouds filled the sky in March, 2020, we have too much to accomplish—and too many promises to keep—to waste even a moment under the bright blue sky that favors us now.

Our return to school has been triumphant, affording us every opportunity to engage once more in the full scope of the program: fall sports in the Middle and Upper Schools, concerts, performances, and the Upper School fall play, parent groups in the garden and the Harvest Festival, and parent/teacher conferences on campus and in person.

At the center of it all is the McAneny Theater.

So it is that our return to the pre-pandemic world was not heralded by great and mighty signs and sighs, but rather through the resumption of modest, meaningful rites, rituals; and the return to spaces we abandoned for long periods of time: the Lower School music room, our libraries and student gathering spaces; and that most essential of all spaces: the McAneny Theater. The beating heart of our great school, the theater lay still and quiet for much of the year, serving as an overflow room and study hall for Upper School students. Without plays, performances, division gatherings, holiday concerts, and admissions open houses, this grand venue became an emblem of the many sacrifices our school made through a long, 20-month odyssey.

On the 9th of September at 8:45am, the great space opened its doors to a crowd of Upper School students and faculty, all of whom took their seats for a most memorable Upper School gathering. As though it were hosting a revival meeting, the space swayed with the energy and optimism of an audience hungry for company and communion. At its close, no one moved, as none of us wanted to surrender territory it had taken so long to recapture. As it turned out, we returned the following day to a space that had quickly become familiar again. In the days that followed, the Middle and Lower schools returned for their respective division assemblies. They have returned each week since. It is like we never left.

In any other year, and at any other time, a meeting in McAneny of the Upper, Middle, and Lower schools would begin and end without causing a stir or carrying meaning beyond that embedded in a given day’s program. But this is no ordinary time, and our theater is no ordinary space. The kind of journey that began on March 6, 2020, drew to a close on that beautiful fall day and those that followed.

Used for a year as an overflow room, it now overflows with the spirit of community and generosity that so distinguish our school. Welcoming students and faculty now, one day soon it will welcome parents and visitors. We grow closer to that moment each day, as we celebrate in small ways the triumphant return of our school.

With deep respect,

Paul J. Stellato FALL 2021

Great Schools Never Stand Still

50+ Alumni Visits Enhance Student Experience

7 Transformative New Spaces for Students to THRIVE!

Cover features: Head of School Paul Stellato often reminds us: “Great schools never stand still.”

Through every season and challenge, Princeton Day School’s storied mastery of student-centered teaching and learning meets today’s needs while thinking and planning forward to meet what’s yet to come. In this issue of the Journal, our two cover features focus on the School’s forward momentum while exploring the meaning of “impact” and “giving back”.

Starting on p. 24, “Alumni Visits Create Links” reveals the mutual benefits of the significant rise in the number of alumni visitors engaging students in PDS classrooms and broader community events. Pictured on the cover: Lynch Hunt ’85, Ashley Smoots ’09, Dan Shipper ’10 and Bobby Wei ’10 share their thoughts about being part of the 50+ alumni who visited Princeton Day School in the past year.

Starting on p. 29, “THRIVE! Campaign Final Phase Is Now Complete” beautifully conveys the power of pairing curricular vision with capital-campaignfunded facilities enhancements to transform the learning experience through seven beautiful, new and reimagined learning spaces for PreK-12th graders, all of which were completed for the start of the 2021-2022 school year.

Finally, as always, the Fall issue includes this year’s Report on Philanthropy, which begins on p. 41.

About the cover photo: Professional photographer Michael Branscom has worked with Princeton Day School for several years to capture exceptional images of the PDS community and campus. Through his thoughtful lens, the student experience comes alive in ways both subtle and direct. This fall, his images are even more astute and perceptive, capturing a joyful, aspiring community constantly on the move, learning, sharing, caring and forging connections, even as we navigate the global Covid pandemic for a third academic year.

Masks and safe health protocols remain part of our daily lives, not considered “normal” yet normalized. At Princeton Day School, we noticed a subconscious shift this fall: our community has embraced “seeing through the mask.” The energy and excitement of being together as a School feels authentic, unselfconscious, evocative of the bustling atmosphere at PDS before Covid became a household term. As a photographer and videographer, Michael Branscom felt the shift and saw the evidence in his own work here at PDS in October. His remarkable photos and video footage of the Princeton Day School 2021-2022 experience will be featured throughout the year on pds.org and in print.

We hope you enjoy his cover image gracing the Fall 2021 Journal issue, his featured work bringing the pages of the THRIVE! story to life, and the powerful moments he captured across the campus as highlighted in our Fall photo gallery.

Congratulations 6

The members of the Class of 2021 will always be remembered as the seniors who succeeded in a year unlike any other.

Showing their resilience and drive, the seniors participated throughout the year at PDS in person when they were able and also from home. Thanks to the large DTEN screens and the School’s Zoombased virtual learning technology, along with faculty who stretched themselves to deliver an exceptional learning experience, at-home students joined their in-school peers in the classrooms and were able to interact with all. The seniors also participated enthusiastically in cherished and innovatively reimagined events, many of which were virtual in the fall and winter, including particularly spectacular

Black History Month and Lunar New Year PDS community programs.

As spring warmed us all and more PDS adults and seniors received Covid vaccinations, the School experienced once again the joys of some carefully orchestrated, safe group events, starting with the traditional Senior Lunch (a Senior Breakfast this time) in March.

With the addition of the fabulously capacious field house in the new Princeton Day School Athletic Center, many events could be held safely indoors with all protocols in place, even in inclement weather.

Senior Sendoff was re-imagined as an in-person assembly for all on-campus seniors, with at-home students on the big screen, capped off by an epic flag football game.

In early May, seniors and the rest

of the School celebrated Blue & White Day outdoors, using several PDS playing fields and separated by division. Academic Awards, the Lifers’ celebration, the Baccalaureate dinner for seniors, and even Commencement were all held in the field house, complete with live streaming for those at home, and with parents in attendance at graduation. It truly was a year unlike any other at Princeton Day School that the Class of 2021 will always see as the most unique in school history.

A Fond Farewell Thanks

&

PDS R ETI R EES Reaching back to Miss Fine’s School, Princeton Country Day School and PDS, only 11 employees have enjoyed a tenure of forty or more years at our School. Their numbers are small, but their influence on the trajectory and fortunes of our School is immense. Two retirees in June 2021 are among this rare group: Barbara Brent and Steve Storey, whose collective careers stretch more than 85 years. Joining them in June were five other retirees whose time at PDS ranged from eight to nearly 30 years: Jody Erdman ’72, Jerry Hirniak, Janet Mayo, Rose Price and Maureen Stellato.

Barbara Brent Barbara Brent’s career for 20 years as Assistant to the Athletics Office and for another 20 years as Assistant to the Middle School began in the fall of 1981. As Head of School Paul Stellato noted, “Barbara has been surrogate parent to thousands of middle schoolers; tutor and Barbara enjoying retirement, guide to hundreds of teachers; summer 2021 and unflagging support for a score of Middle School heads.

She has shepherded countless parents through the roughest years any parent will ever know, and she has done so without breaking a sweat or calling for reinforcements.”

Steve Hancock, now Head of School at the University School of Milwaukee, remembers his arrival in 2008 and Barbara’s invaluable assistance: “Thankfully, Barbara was more than ready to train a new Middle School Head. Barbara was my proofreader, deadline reminder, and chief encourager. She was also the one who suggested I begin writing the weekly “Focus Notes” for families. Barbara was a trusted resource who could always read the situation and was never shy in sharing her opinion. I came to t en Br love these qualities about Barbara.” ra Barba JOURNAL

In the Athletics Office from 1981-2001, Barbara worked closely with former Athletic Director Jan Baker. “Barbara was involved with all aspects of the physical education and interscholastic programs. Her knowledge, organizational skills, attention to detail, sense of humor and unflappability were invaluable; Barbara was the team’s cornerstone as the PDS athletic program expanded to 52 teams in 17 different varsity sports. We shared 20 years of State Championships, Blue & White Days, crises, and victories and they are all more memorable for having Barbara at my side,” Jan stated.

Former colleague Marie Shock is “excited to share more lunches, shopping and trips with Barbara in retirement, but I know how much she’ll be missed at PDS. Always ready with a smile and never shirking from a challenge, she has touched the lives of thousands of students and hundreds of teachers and coaches. Devoted to exercise, she can be found on the Towpath in Titusville running or biking. With the Delaware River nearby, her kayak is another favorite pastime shared with husband Michael.”

Jody Erdman Jody Erdman has been a skilled colleague at PDS for 19 years and Director of the School’s Anne Reid ’72 Art Gallery for more than a decade. She is also a humble person who happens to be part of a family with an awe-inspiring history at our School. As Jody explains, “I am honored to have worked at a school where my family legacy Jody Erdman extends for five generations. My great grandfather Dr. Charles Erdman was a trustee emeritus at Miss Fine’s School for over thirty years, my father and grandfather served on the board of Princeton Country Day and my son Spencer Mooney is a proud member of the Class of 2013. I am very grateful that Spencer was able to receive the same high quality education that I received as a student at the school almost fifty years ago.”

As Gallery Director, Jody has showcased art from around the world, including the work of Imagine the Possibilities visiting artists, and from as nearby as our talented Middle, Lower, and Upper School students and faculty. Mr. Stellato observes, “Jody has endowed the Gallery with her taste, wit, and kindness. Her classmate, Anne Reid, would be pleased and proud of Jody’s stewardship.”

11

“Jody’s work at PDS has been a creative anchor for the community—and Jody made sure that the entire campus had access to the wonderful gallery space. Some of my fondest memories include seeing dance and music performances in the Gallery, in conjunction with an opening or showing. The hall leading to the gallery filled with students during Jody’s wonderful celebrations of creativity and joy,” states Director of Performing and Visual Arts & Design Stan Cahill.

Jody cherishes her experiences as curator of more than one hundred Gallery exhibitions, including seven Imagine the Possibilities guest artist exhibits (ITP is made possible through the John D. Wallace, Jr. ’78 Memorial Guest Artist Series Fund) in collaboration with ITP Director Bev. Gallagher. The 2011 exhibit of ITP guest artist Steve Jenkins’ animal works was particularly stunning, thanks to Jody’s painstaking recreation of Steve’s studio with a large-scale installation including an artist’s work desk filled with everything Steve had in Boulder, plus his reference images, pencil sketches, cutout paper animals, proofs and galleys for his books before they went to press and his finished books. She also curated the Ten Year Retrospective of Imagine the Possibilities plus additional solo exhibitions with Raúl Colón, Paul Zelinsky, Matthew Cordell, David Wiesner and Grace Lin, exquisite work from the collections of Isabella de la Houssaye and Lynn and Bob Johnson, the PDS 50th Anniversary Alumni Exhibition, the 50th Anniversary of the Arts Council of Princeton, Mel Leipzig, Bill Hardy, HomeFront and a live auction where the School auctioned twelve paintings by Peter Lighte. Jody also championed architectural exhibits, including the 2012 exhibit of Michael Graves’ renowned works, and the exhibit of the Princeton University campus building architectural models of Ron McCoy. Though retired from PDS, Jody will continue to serve on the Princeton Public Art Selection Committee, which makes public art recommendations to Princeton’s Town Council.

Jerry Hirniak Jerry Hirniak championed artistry at PDS through the fine arts studio program and the media arts studio program. Arriving 29 years ago to subterranean studio facilities, Jerry ultimately designed breathtaking new studio spaces in the Edward and Marie Matthews Arts Wing, where, as former Head Jerry Hirniak of School Carlton Tucker puts it, “his seriousness of purpose and dedication to his teaching and to his students brought drawing, painting and filmmaking to the forefront of the PDS arts.”

Carlton continues, “Jerry lived and breathed art; it was

his lifeblood. His infectious passion for the arts whether in the studios, the Art Gallery, or in conversations with colleagues as department chair infused arts into the PDS culture and reinforced the School’s commitment to the arts. Jerry even had salon-like dinners in his studio for various friends and colleagues just to converse about ideas.

Passionate, cerebral, dedicated, and innovative are just a few of the descriptors that sum up Jerry Hirniak’s three decades of teaching at PDS! In the pantheon of legendary PDS teachers, Jerry nurtured thousands of students in his art and film studios and his advisory group. His leadership in the film studio spawned truly innovative and provocative student works.”

As a multicultural person juggling his Ukrainian, Canadian and American heritages, he was devoted to his family and traveled often to see his mother in Montreal.

He loved seeing both of his sons, Stefan ’03 and Nick ’07, at PDS, and later, watching Stefan compete nationally as a swimmer for UVA and at the Olympic training level. Jerry’s other passion was tennis, about which he has always been a keen competitor.

Jerry’s farewell studio exhibit, Traces, was an elegant testimony to the power of 30 years of impact centered not on himself but on the goal of empowering the artistic mindset of each student. As photography teacher and colleague Thatcher Cook puts it: “Jerry’s lessons are complex, intellectual endeavors. The painstaking elegance of his curriculum evolved from year to year. Inspiration often came from contemporary issues, but was always coupled with the resources of Jerry’s encyclopedic knowledge of art history. At first the student’s results often were not obvious, but, without exception, they resulted in works of grand curiosity and occasional genius. Jerry’s legacy of showing how marks on a page may amount to great creative feats will be missed. The continuous flow of change is an integral part of Jerry’s work as a teacher and artist—and how fitting it is that his shoes will be filled, and his legacy continued, by one of his former students.”

Janet Mayo After 22 years at PDS, as library assistant in the Upper School, and as receptionist, Janet Mayo is ready for fulltime adventure outside of PDS. Her colleague and friend Janet Dixon, Middle School Library Assistant, notes that “Janet’s talent for making people feel welcome and her friendly personality made Janet Mayo her a most popular receptionist. To encapsulate her essence, I need to tell you what being a friend of Janet Mayo for over 20 years has meant.

FALL 2021

12

It has meant being friends with someone with the same first name, who also had an Irish mother who was larger than life and greatly influenced us. It has meant discussing daily our children, their triumphs and their problems.

She is over the moon proud of her daughters, Melissa and Amanda, and her son Matt, who with his wife Sherri, gifted her with her two grandchildren, Raegan and Ryder…

But it is the gift of listening that I will miss the most. We listen to each other. We hear the joys and love the celebrations, and we hear the fears, the frustrations, the pain.”

Countless students and colleagues have relied on her friendliness, her willingness to help, and the cheerful Halloween, Thanksgiving, Winter Holidays, St. Patrick’s Day and other seasonal decorations. As a faculty member notes, “Janet has had the unenviable task of keeping track of hundreds of kids whereabouts, and she has done so with grace. I will miss her wit, her family photographs, her Word of the Day and the way she calls out my name when I walk past her desk.”

As a testimony to her impact, in 2018, graduating seniors lobbied to have her deliver the commencement address at their graduation. As Janet Dixon recounts, “When Janet delivered that address, you understood completely why it was so important to the seniors that she be their speaker.

She listened. She listened to them. More importantly, as you listened to her speech, you realized she KNEW them. She called out so many of the seniors with funny and poignant anecdotes. She got a standing ovation and many said it was the best commencement address ever given, because it was about the students, not about Janet Mayo, but about her memories of them and her hopes for their futures.”

As Janet herself puts it, the move to reception made her realize how much she loved interacting with the community. “My greatest achievement was being chosen by the Class of 2018 to be their speaker. I started at the desk when they started as Freshmen. We grew up together!

PDS has been a part of my life for 22 years. As happy as I am to retire, I will miss it very much!”

Rose Price Rose arrived at PDS in December 2013 as the Assistant to Summer Programs. As Assistant Head of School for Finance and Operations Dulany Gibson says, PDS quickly appreciated that “Rose and Summer Programs Director Jamie Bean were a terrific duo, ensuring that each year eight weeks of programs ran smoothly and campers had Rose Price a fun and enriching experience.

After a staffing reorganization, Rose took on the task JOURNAL

of organizing all aspects of Summer Programs—scheduling programs, contracting instructors, hiring counselors, helping families sign up their children, etc. —a gargantuan task!”

It would take six to eight months to prepare; the summer then flashed by in eight short weeks, and during that time, Rose was everywhere: attending to both camper and instructor needs, rescheduling campers, checking in on how programs were running, transporting campers across campus, locating missing supplies and making sure campus classrooms were put back together for the faculty’s return in late August. As Dulany explains, “Rose has been instrumental in the success of seven Summer Program seasons, which would have been eight but for the COVID cancellation in 2020, when she provided invaluable support to the online Panthers Summer Sessions offered to PDS students.”

Her Summer Programs partner, Jamie Bean, says, “Our working relationship is built upon mutual trust and respect, not to mention plenty of shared laughs. For most of the year, Summer Programs operates in the shadows of PDS, and it requires the stewardship of someone like Rose to ensure that we are ready to launch without a hitch on the Monday following Commencement. As I am only on campus during the summer itself, Rose would call me often during the year with updates or to run ideas past me. On a brisk winter afternoon, these conversations were always an uplifting reminder of warmer days ahead. But more than that, they were opportunities to catch up with my friend, Rose. She has left Summer Programs far better and stronger than she found it and we will miss her steady presence.”

Maureen Stellato Special Events Manager Maureen Stellato has been a valued member of the Advancement team for several years, having begun her tenure not long after that of her husband, Head of School Paul Stellato. As Assistant Head of School for Advancement and Strategic Priorities Kathy Schulte explains, “Maureen’s ability to be both the Head of Maureen Stellato School’s wife and a colleague of our incredible team is one that I have always admired. We would often make sure we clarified those two roles by calling her ‘Mrs. Stellato’ when she was serving as the Head of School’s wife or ‘Maureen’ when she was serving as a trusted colleague. Maureen’s love of Princeton Day School and attention to detail were a powerful combination. These attributes made her incredibly successful in her job. No task was too small and Maureen always knew how each small detail built upon itself and brought great pride to everyone who attended one of her many special events over the years.”

13

Happy retirement to all... and thank you for your many years of caring for the PDS community Director of Alumni Programs and Giving Kaylie Keesling states, “When Alumni Weekend is upon us, she has been a master of details, ensuring that our guests feel welcome and that our School shines. With Maureen’s support every table setting is perfect, the grass is free of dandelions and each event runs smoothly.”

Senior Development Officer Courtney Hodock shares, “As our Special Events Manager, Maureen kept us all on task. She paid attention to every little event detail from invitation to RSVPs to flowers. Maureen is a team player who takes great pride in her work and always makes sure we are all able to host the best event possible. I started here in May of 2019 and Maureen quickly became my personal PDS guide. She literally took me under her wing, gave me lessons on PDS history, and shared her insider perspective— all priceless information that would have taken me years to learn. I am so grateful for Maureen’s guidance!”

It is a comfort to colleagues to know that Maureen will still be in residence at Behr House. Kaylie is especially grateful and looks forward to continuing to connect: “She’s always first to check in or bring a meal or offer to plan an entire garden for you when you find yourself with a large yard and no idea what to do with it. Maureen is such incredibly thoughtful and caring friend.”

Steve Storey “In so many ways, Steve’s is a Princeton Day School life,” states Mr. Stellato of Steve Storey’s four-and-a-half decades of service to PDS. “Steve’s father, Carl, was the School’s business manager for many years; Steve grew up learning the family business. In 1976, right out of high school, Steve joined the crew and ran the Steve Storey print shop. He was apprenticed for several years to the trades—plumbing, electrical, pump technology; acquired a catalog of licenses and permits; and, in 1997, was appointed Director of Maintenance, a position he held for a decade. When he stepped down, he played a role that others played for him earlier in his career: as a mentor and guide to new members of the crew, including an eight-month stint as Director in 2017.”

US Science faculty Carlos Cara is grateful to count Steve Storey as a longtime friend and colleague.

“The first thing I would say about Steve is that he is incredibly intelligent. His attention is focused on a Steve Storey as a bearded young ma number of interests. n at PDS. And when he got his trade licenses, whether they were plumbing or boiler licenses, it was not just a license acquisition to do the work; he really became a specialist at the level reached by experts in other fields around this campus. His just happened to be mechanical expertise. The second thing about Steve is that he can read people really well. As Director of Facilities, he needed that skill to coordinate all of the different turf areas, skills and interests of so many tradespeople. He always did a great job managing people and genuinely cared about each and every one of them.”

The number of headmasters Steve served in his 45 years here is in double figures, which is one indicator of the scope of his service at PDS. As Carlos explains, “Steve knew every inch of this place, having worked in so many capacities across every quirk and intricacy of the School. He was involved in every single construction project, which includes the transformation of the ‘Pizza Hut’, which is what we called the Middle School area, the construction of the Lower School building, the Science Wing, the transformation of the area that is now the Campus Center, the creation of the Matthews Arts Wing, the reconstruction of Shepherd Commons, all the way through to the Athletic Center.”

For those lucky enough to know Steve, he is not only interested in but knowledgeable about just about everything and a great person to get to know. “He’s a gentle giant, he’s funny, and he’s a great storyteller and musician,” Carlos continues. “Both Steve and his father were passionate about the Pine Barrens and one of Steve’s many ways to enjoy his weekend time was to take his truck out there and explore that unique landscape. He fostered my love of the Pine Barrens. Steve embodies Princeton Day School on so many levels and represents a true lifetime of service to this School.”

Colleague Chris Devlin says, “From my very first day at PDS 18 years ago, Steve has been a mentor and has taught me so many things. There isn’t a thing Steve wouldn’t do for anyone; he would go to any length to give you the support you need. As sad as I am to see Steve retire, I could not be more happy for him. Steve and his partner, Trish, recently bought a lovely home together. He’s got lots to look forward to. He has done so much for so many, and it is now time for Steve to take care of Steve and enjoy life.”

Alumni Visits Create Links as they Enhance the Student Experience

By Linda Maxwell Stefanelli ’62

Miss Fine’s School published its first yearbook in 1921 and called it The Link in recognition of the graduating students’ bond to the School and each other.

One hundred years later, The Link yearbook continues to chronicle the Princeton Day School experience and showcase the senior class as their relationships transition from student friendships to lifelong alumni connections.

Whether they attended Miss Fine’s, Princeton Country Day or Princeton Day School, alumni have helped define the School’s identity, its spirit and aspirations. They possess a wealth of experience and expertise that is an invaluable resource for PDS and its students and many have returned to campus to speak in assemblies, career seminars, lecture series, daily classes and special events.

“The School has always valued alumni as an important part of the community and recognized that we have thousands of them doing truly remarkable, impressive work,” says Kaylie Keesling, Director of Alumni Programs and Giving. “When we think about what makes PDS special and makes it stand out, I think it’s having these alumni be part of PDS today.”

JOURNAL

Alumni have welcomed the opportunity to interact with students through in-person visits but until recently that presented a challenge for many since the majority do not live locally and have commitments that preclude taking time for trips back to PDS. Over the past 20 months, alumni participation in the life of the School has soared as video conferencing became the common denominator in global business, education and personal communications.

The Advancement Office quickly realized the value of expanding alumni guest speaker connections with the students by bringing them into the classroom virtually.

Alumni have enthusiastically embraced the opportunities to reconnect with PDS through appearances during class periods or community gathering sessions they are able to join directly from their workplace or residence. As a result, alumni expertise and

— Kaylie Keesling perspectives are presented from the field, the studio and other environments that heighten student interest and offer a stronger and broader community of alumni mentors.

“Last year alone, at least 50 alumni participated in virtual classroom visits.”

After increasing their outreach efforts to update alumni information to better connect with and identify the alumni community’s strengths and skills, the

25

Advancement Office has even more actively collaborated with faculty to help enhance programming and personalize the curriculum experience.

The Zoom Factor “I wasn’t expecting to be able to find alumni whose interests matched so well with our students, but it all lined up,” says Upper School computer science teacher Theodor Brasoveanu who last year helped organize PantherHack, the first student-led coding hackathon at PDS, which was also completely virtual. “I think they were all excited to connect with each other.”

“The Zoom factor, being able to reach alumni all over the world, really helps bring new voices into the classroom,” adds Toni Dunlap, Middle and Upper School computer science teacher.

In March of 2020, when the pandemic closed down the country and people were forced to rely on technology to connect, PDS pivoted to remote learning for the rest of the school year and instituted a series of virtual classroom visits with experts across program areas to expand the curriculum experience. That summer, Chief Information Officer Jon Ostendorf and the Information Technology Department prepared for the 2020-2021 school year by investing in technology that brought virtual participants into the classroom in even more sophisticated and engaging ways, powered by 100 DTEN D7 video whiteboard screens installed throughout the campus.

“We liked the DTEN because it’s a userfriendly ‘plug and play’ approach that allows teachers to run everything directly off it,” says Lauren Ledley, the Director of Academic Technology. “It’s easy to use, with Zoom capability, and no need for a laptop to activate it. It also has an excellent camera with high-quality screen views, including options for wide view or fishbowl view. Plus, it has a very advanced microphone built in that can pick up small sounds or filter them

out, which creates a much better participant experience whether in person or remote.”

Those in the classroom can see remote participants on the DTEN screen and virtual participants can see and hear the whole classroom via the DTEN’s camera and microphone.

“Covid presented an opportunity to give the teachers another resource for classroom engagement,” says Ms. Keesling noting that, “Last year alone, at least 50 alumni participated in virtual classroom visits.”

Center for Disease Control epidemiologist Ashley Smoots ’09 spoke to juniors and seniors in the Research Experience Program (REx) and says, “Since I’m in Atlanta, I likely would not have been able to participate without the technology. We’ve all gotten familiar with technology and I really think students were still able to connect and feel comfortable asking questions.”

“It’s one of my favorite things to do,” says Alley Welsh Olshansky ’01 of Chelsea, MA, who traveled to PDS for four in-person guest speaker visits prior to the pandemic. She is a senior director at a company investigating blood-based technology for early cancer detection. After livestreaming Allison Welsh last fall with REx students, she Olshansky ’01 explains, “I was amazed at how the Zoom virtual visit was just as effective as in-person visits in so many ways.

I use Zoom technology every day in my work so it didn’t feel that different. The teacher prepared the students beautifully and tried to make it as interactive as possible.”

Led by Ms. Dunlap, the Upper School virtually hosted over a dozen technology professionals for two sessions of “A Day in the Life of a Person in Tech.” Bobby Wei ’10 participated from Los Angeles where he works at Honeybee Robotics as a mechanical engineer designing spacecraft mechanisms, including those for the Mars FALL 2021

Rover. “I had fun,” he says. “If you asked me as a high-schooler, I would’ve never imagined being in this position later in life where I have something interesting enough to talk to PDS students about! The Mars Rover is a big, shiny thing to talk about and pertinent, given how recently (mid-February) Bobby Wei ’10 we landed the Rover on Mars.” When eighth graders heard of his work, they were fascinated and eager to learn more, and Mr. Wei was delighted to talk to them as well.

The Value of Virtual Mentors Ms. Smoots says, “I returned again to visit virtually with the PDS chapter of NOW, the National Organization for Women, and discussed my experience as a minority woman in the sciences. The NOW group was really encouraged to hear that I didn’t know exactly what I wanted to do as a career when I was in high school, but that I was still able to figure it out and land in a career that I enjoy.”

Ashley Smoots ’09 That is perhaps one of the most valuable takeaways for older students. They are interested in the career path of alumni and relieved to discover that the choices they make in college are not binding and can lead to something quite different and fulfilling.

They are also encouraged to hear that even successful careers are not without challenges and struggles.

With over 30 years in the workforce, Lynch Hunt ’85 has a big-picture perspective and knows all about career change. He earned a degree in computer science and engineering and worked for 12 years in software development before shifting to a financial services career in banking and investments. As a virtual panelist at PantherHack, he urged students to “take the pressure off yourself. What you did today may or may not Lynch Hunt ’85 be anything like what you’ll be doing 10 or 20 years from now. So lean into what you’re good at, be curious, find people who can help and you’ll find your thing. Prepare yourself and accept whatever opportunities come your way.”

Dan Shipper ’10, PDS Outstanding Young Alumnus Award recipient in 2015, spoke virtually at PantherHack about entrepreneurship.

He described his experience co-founding startups in both software and media since graduating from PDS. “I wanted to come back to talk to the students who are interested in the same things I was at that age.

They are all extremely bright and they asked Dan Shipper ’10 great questions. It was great to be able to have a small impact on them.”

“ You can talk about a subject theoretically, but the alumni experts made it so much more immediate.”

— Toni Dunlap

Arshaan Sayed ’23, a student organizer of PantherHack says, “The alumni were, in my opinion, the highlight of the PantherHack.

They offered a ton of insight at their workshops and panels. We learned a lot about the entrepreneur world from Dan Shipper ’10 and the workings of blockchain and cryptocurrency from Nathan Windsor ’02.”

Andrew Dai ’26 was a seventh grader last year when he attended the event and heard alumni speak as virtual guests about computer programming, a subject that has fascinated him since second grade. “I don’t really know any people who have a career in programming, so it was very interesting to me,” he says. “I finally got to see careers in robotics from a professional point of view from alumni who went on to pursue careers in programming. Right now, I’m a little more interested in business, but I think coding will still be a really good skill to have.”

“The alumni discussions at the PantherHack were incredible, even for someone like me who teaches computer science,” marvels Ms. Dunlap. “Having alumni there was exciting.

You can talk about a subject theoretically, but the alumni experts made it so much more immediate. The students respected the alumni perspectives built on experiences in the field and also connected strongly with them as fellow PDS community members.”

Howie Powers ’80 has a dual perspective as an alumnus and Chair of the History Department. He understands that students

instinctively respond to alumni speakers as someone who sat in their classroom not long ago and then succeeded professionally, blazing a trail they might follow. “These students are getting to be adults and they want to hear adults talking to them about adult issues,” Mr. Powers says. Alumni can do that while also referencing their teachers by name, commiserating about homework and sharing in the excitement of a PDS athletic victory.

Mr. Powers cites the enormous impact Ned Foley ’79 had in his virtual talk last fall to the AP American Government and Politics class. He is an Ohio State University Moritz College of Law professor and constitutional law expert who discussed Ned Foley ’79 presidential power and its limitations. “He was fantastic and so timely,” Mr. Powers says, noting that Professor Foley impressed students not only with his knowledge of the subject matter, but by sharing how PDS helped build a sense of self-esteem and belonging that changed the trajectory of his life.

Alumni guest speakers have spoken to students in every division. Marissa Applegate ’12, a Ph.D. candidate in neuroscience at Columbia University, captivated Fourth Grade science students discussing her study of chickadees. “I showed a video of a chickadee hiding food in the camera, which, though not what it was ‘supposed’ to do, provided a really clear example of a use of memory. The kids absolutely lost it laughing, which was exactly what I was hoping for! They asked really good questions that were incredibly broad. A big part of why I volunteered to talk to the students was that after seeing all

the science outreach events at Columbia get canceled due to Covid, I got sad thinking about the impact on the next generation of kids. All my memories of science in Lower School involved physical things: grinding up cereal and extracting Marissa Applegate ’12 iron, making boats to race across the room, connecting light bulbs to batteries, etc. Science at that age always seemed so cool, and I was worried that without those personal connections, kids might not get that initial spark of interest that keeps them engaged.”

“ I can see that PDS seems to be thriving!”

— Bobby Wei ’10 The loyalty of PDS alumni is demonstrated in many ways, from the enthusiastic provision of alumni updates in the Journal magazine to strong attendance at reunions to their financial support of school initiatives. The rewards of interacting with current students add another meaningful layer to their PDS experience.

“I like the School’s outreach program a lot,” Mr. Wei says. “It warms my heart to know that there are still so many outgoing, caring and thoughtful faculty at PDS. After I graduated, a group of legendary faculty retired and I was worried that the culture of PDS might change. Based on outreach from Toni Dunlap and others, and my experience talking with the students, I can see that PDS seems to be thriving!”

Like its students whose exuberance and curiosity enliven the campus, Princeton Day School is constantly seeking to improve and pursuing its dreams for the future. Over the summer, capping off months of planning and preparation, many of those dreams became reality as seven existing spaces were transformed into learning environments imaginatively designed to maximize skills acquisition and applied learning across disciplines. The work represents the completion of the final phase of the Thrive! Campaign, which raised an unprecedented $58.6 million for facilities and programs.

The new facilities, which benefit all three divisions, include Lower and Middle School STEAM classrooms, renovated Lower and Middle School libraries, reimagined studio spaces for Lower School science and art, and a teaching kitchen designed for use by students from PreK through Grade 12. All the changes are contained within the footprint of the existing buildings, with rooms cleverly reconfigured to yield extra space. In spite of shipping delays caused by the pandemic and a

nationwide labor shortage, the work was completed in just 10 weeks and the sparkling new spaces greeted students when the new school year began on September 9.

“The work that was completed this summer is the fulfillment of a promise,” says Head of School Paul Stellato, who has championed these school-wide programs and the importance of developing best-

practice curriculum that informs facilities design.

“The original STEAM program was written five years ago as a PreK-12 curriculum. We intentionally completed the Wellemeyer STEAM Center in the Upper School first, but the promise was always that building facilities in the Lower and Middle schools would round out the entire endeavor.”

“These STEAM classrooms are transformative,” says Jason Park, Chair of the Upper and Middle School Science Department. “The spaces are physical representations of best thinking in teaching and learning. The intentionally designed environment and resources facilitate authentic learning and hands-on skills development that students apply to help them create, problem solve and imagine possibilities. This is a fundamental shift in emphasis from students just needing to memorize and regurgitate content and will help them in any field they might pursue.”

Locating the STEAM facilities adjacent to the libraries in the JOURNAL

Lower and Middle Schools was a particularly deliberate decision to center each division around these interdisciplinary resource centers. “The design was informed by the goal of creating highly visible, centralized spaces where kids can gather and work together. All of the library and STEAM spaces have banks of large windows onto the hallways and on adjoining walls, along with open shelving to display work and clear bins for STEAM tools and crafts. A beautiful and transparent ‘envelope’ makes people happy and says the school values this work,” Park explains.

Both the Middle and Lower School STEAM and library spaces, as well as the Lower School science and art studios, are light and airy with maple veneer cabinetry, solid surface counters and white tabletops.

STEAM tables have wheels and

height-adjustment features so they can be moved around to accommodate varying configurations and raised or lowered so students can work sitting or standing. Ample location-optimized power sources include ceiling-mounted electrical cords that pull down and outlets embedded in the tables to avoid tangles and maximize safety. State-ofthe-art equipment includes DTEN D7 video whiteboard screens with Zoom capability, green screens for digitally creating special effects, 3D printers and laser cutters that can cut vinyl and glass.

New Lower School Spaces Invite Collaboration and Creativity “The new spaces and resources enhance our Lower School programming, allowing students to apply in STEAM the specific skills our faculty teaches in their individual disciplines.

It’s really exciting to us because we know these opportunities for applied skills and student collaborations will benefit the kids as they go into Middle School and Upper School,” says Lower School Head Dr. Sandra Wang. “Plus, the new spaces are beautiful and inviting. As the first space you see on entering the Lower School, the library is more welcoming and much brighter,” she adds.

The Lower School library has been reconfigured for better flow and easier access to books, while the new round light fixtures banded in bright yellow rims add a touch of whimsy and echo circular designs elsewhere in the space. Nestled into the back of the room, facing the window, is a free-standing half wall enclosing a semi-circular reading nook with built-in seating and soft purple ottomans. “It’s great seeing how engaged the students are in the new library and STEAM spaces,” says Lower School Librarian and STEAM Specialist Danielle Redd. “And it’s especially rewarding after Lower

School students stayed in their homerooms last year and books were delivered to classes on carts.”

The Lower School STEAM classroom is located in what used to be the faculty room and copy center adjacent to the library. A handsome new sliding barn door connects the two spaces. The original space, which had been set back from the hall, was enlarged by moving the wall to make it flush with the corridor. Lower School Technology Coordinator Carol Olson expresses how overjoyed she is to teach in the new space: “This is so exciting. I feel like I’ve just begun my career even though I’ve been teaching for 40 years!”

With similar creativity, space was gained in the reimagined second floor Lower School science lab by removing a storage closet and a large chemical hood system.

New lab tables and built-in storage, along with state-of-the-art resources for crafting 3D models, create the foundation for powerful, hands-on science learning experiences. “The larger, newly refurbished space and new tools promote teamwork, deeper explorations and extended projects,” says Lower School science teacher Aaron Schomburg.

JOURNAL

“Our students are so excited, curious and ready to investigate in this beautiful facility. These renovations, like the STEAM Center downstairs, underscore the School’s commitment to interdisciplinary learning.

Our students will have some tough problems to solve as adults and they’ll need teamwork and creativity, thinking outside the box, applied problem-solving experience and a lot of soft skills. We as teachers need to recognize and utilize different approaches to teaching. Content is still important but so is doing everything we can to fuel their skills, mindset and love of learning. In this digital world flooded with information, students can always find out the content; they need to know how to use this information to tackle the real-world problems that lie ahead,” he explains.

The Lower School art studio also underwent significant enhancements.

Here, too, a large closet near the entrance was removed, creating more physical space for students to work, with storage cleverly maximized along the walls. With the room’s sight lines completely opened up, the entire space and new collaborative work tables and seating are bathed in both natural window light and new ceiling lights.

The painted concrete flooring was laboriously stripped down to give the room an industrial vibe while also ensuring that the unfinished surface is impervious to paint spatter. Lower School art teacher Jen Gallagher says, “Being in a new clean space, you just feel energized. It makes you want to try new things.”

Ceramics is one of the students’ favorite mediums and the need for a kiln near the art room led to more inspired repurposing of the Lower School’s existing footprint. Two littlenoticed and rarely used second floor balconies above the Lower School

entrance doors were enclosed: one is now dedicated to storage of ceramics materials and the other has been fitted for a new kiln embraced by the existing brick walls, which provide a ready-made fireproof barrier.

Mr. Stellato notes that the integration of art into STEAM programming is central to the School’s STEAM philosophy. He explains, “We added the ‘A’ to STEM because all the disciplines in the STEAM Center are, like art, acts of creation.

Whether in ceramics or design classes, no two problems are alike, demanding that students set goals and design backward from them.

In that pursuit, the ways in which our colleagues in the art department approach their work align beautifully with the habits of thought and process we seek to instill through the STEAM curriculum.”

Ms. Gallagher agrees, “STEAM is an extension of art, so it melds easily. I get inspired in the art studio, then I can bring projects down to the STEAM center and use the equipment to work on them.”

“Now they have a place where they can design, fabricate, imagine and create. It’s all there and it’s all their own.”

space to apply skills and more deeply explore real-world problem-solving,” says Middle School Head and Assistant Head of School for Academic Life Renée C. Price.

Of course, PDS Middle School students have already been doing much of this work, but this facility offers them even more. “The possibilities are limitless because we have so much equipment and skill and support for the kids.

They’re ready, they’re smart enough and they’re mature enough with guidance to solve big problems and to come up with creative solutions,” Ms. Price explains. “It’s a curiosity-building space where they can dream things. They’re young people experiencing very grown-up work and design-thinking to solve thorny problems and questions. Now they have a place where they can design, fabricate, imagine and create. It’s all there and it’s all their own,” she adds.

Middle School Technology and STEAM Coordinator Jamie Atkeson is excited for the students and envisions many ways the facility will enhance the work the Middle School students have been doing for a decade.

“This dedicated space is about access.

The Middle School STEAM center brings all the tools and resources into a single, intentionally designed facility the students can use for any project, whether it’s for school or something they’re doing at home. It’s a lovely space and large enough to accommodate any of our classes.”

JOURNAL

Along the back of the STEAM room is a “dirty room,” a sealed off area where students can work on projects and use tools without worrying that dust, metal particles or odor might damage the equipment next door. “It’s where modern digital fabrication meets the older industrial arts style,” says Mr. Atkeson.

“Previously, Middle Schoolers used the Upper School Steam Center for its classes and many times during projects they had to run downstairs to the industrial arts shop to drill a hole or craft something in metal.

With this space, we are bringing modern technology and industrial arts together and providing seamless creative and innovation experiences for students.”

Middle School Library Redesigned to Optimize Flexibility and Access Sheila Goeke, who heads all three PDS libraries and serves as the Middle School Librarian, explains the value and features of the redesigned library space. “We’re so excited about the renovations because we can finally actualize the vision we have about learning.

“The library seems more spacious, more open; it’s a perfect learning environment.”

— Sheila Goeke, Head of Libraries and Middle School Librarian

We thought it was really important to integrate STEAM into the library program, combining handson experiences with information access,” she says. “Because we wanted more flexible space for learning and collaboration, some of the shelves and furniture can be moved around. The new lighting has made a huge difference. We brought the fiction collection to the front of the room and lit up the back shelves so things are much easier to find and use. The architects did everything we asked and made it so beautiful and vibrant. The library seems more spacious, more open; it’s a perfect learning environment,” she explains.

The PreK-Grade 12 teaching kitchen (below) is a learning laboratory for all disciplines and an indoor alternative to the Garden’s outdoor kitchen during cold weather.

Kitchen Classroom Creates Recipe for Lifelong Learning Tucked away on the basement level of the Lower School wing is an unexpected type of classroom that offers a truly innovative schoolwide curriculum. It looks like a regular kitchen with two sinks, two dishwashers, a double oven, microwave oven, double door refrigerator and several tables, but food preparation and teamwork are only two of the life skills being taught there.

“This has been a vision that (PDS Garden Coordinator) Pam Flory and I have been working on for at least five years,” says Sustainability Coordinator and Upper School English teacher Liz Cutler. “We believe that food is a lens through which we can teach almost anything.

This is not Home Economics—it’s a learning laboratory for all disciplines where you could, for example, teach chemistry. Imagine learning about chemical emulsions by making Hollandaise sauce or about microorganisms by making pickles.”

In 2015, Ms. Cutler and Ms. Flory partnered with faculty from all three divisions to write a curriculum for the kitchen. They were inspired

by Alice Waters’ Edible Schoolyard and by several universities and schools that have had success with such programs. “What they do, and what we hope ultimately to be able to do, is to have replacement classes.

So instead of teaching in your classroom, you’re going to teach the same material by cooking in the kitchen.

Let’s say you want to teach about

Kitchen Photo?

the Silk Road in social studies. It was all about taking resources from one part of the world to the next.

Can you teach that by having kids actually cooking things with the spices they had on the Silk Road?

And how much more will they remember about the Silk Road once they’ve done that? Imagine how that changes the way a student takes in information or learns to appreciate global cultures by making and tasting the many different kinds of food in the world,” Cutler explains.

The kitchen will give the PDS Garden an indoor space to supplement its outdoor kitchen during cold weather and make it easier to prepare for special events. Ms. Cutler has taken on the role of Kitchen Coordinator and hopes ultimately to bring in celebrity chefs. This fall, she is starting small with the After School Program, adding Lower School classes and a Middle School

Da Vinci class as the year progresses. “Pam and I are designing protocols so it’s safe, efficient and effective because in a class of only 55 minutes you can’t have everyone charging around, the room’s not that big. It’s a challenge to cook and clean up in that time.”

Mr. Stellato observes, “Every year there are a quarter to a third of our seniors who started in the Lower School, so we have an opportunity to build PreK-12 curricular programs that students can experience from start to finish. It’s the unique advantage that schools like ours have. This year’s PreK class will be the first to use designated STEAM classrooms all the way through their PDS career so one can only imagine what they will be doing and talking about to future PDS students 20 years from now. One thing is certain, they will be well prepared for the world they encounter.”

“My inspiration for naming the PDS Field House lobby for Ron stemmed from his central role in the success of the entire project.”

— Marc Brahaney, Trustee and Chair of the Building and Grounds and Core Committees

Brahaney, of Lasley Brahaney Architecture, worked closely with Ron on the Athletic Center project and grew quite fond of him, not only for his talents but also his gregarious and witty personality. It was Marc’s idea to name the field house lobby for Ron. As Marc stated during the ceremony, while it is true that Ron is a “dedicated colleague and co-conspirator,” he also had the ability to fully recognize the Head of School’s

Speaking directly to Ron at the naming ceremony, Head of School Paul Stellato summed up how Ron epitomizes the School’s commitment to being better together by building supportive partnerships and collaborations: “Anything that we achieve at PDS that is meaningful is done through partnerships that hopefully bring out the best in us and allow us to influence one another.

Ron, you have shown us the way to build partnerships.

You have entered every endeavor with optimism and enthusiasm that allowed us to do things we couldn’t imagine doing, and that every one of these opportunities is an opportunity to build friendships.

That is a magical quality you have, Ron, that we have all benefited from. It has been a soulful adventure for all of us. And you have made us so much more than we would have been. And for that we thank you.”

When I wrote my letter for the spring Journal back in March of 2021, I was happily anticipating our return to full in-person teaching and all the pleasures of being together again. Thanks to the heroic efforts of our faculty and staff, as well as our dedicated students and parents, we have resumed on-campus learning for all and so many of the activities that make up the rich experience that is a Princeton Day School education. Of course, right now that experience differs from what it was before the pandemic, since many precautions have been taken to make sure that our community stays safe and healthy in a still uncertain time.

Using what was learned from last year, our community knows how to take care of each other and they are prepared to do their best work during difficult times.

We have also benefited from the educational experiments undertaken last year, which will serve us well in the future.

As conditions permit, during this academic year we will celebrate the great success of our Thrive! Campaign described elsewhere in this issue of the Journal. This is certainly a moment to pause and consider how far we have come as a school since the Campaign began. Some of the Campaign’s impact is visible in the many facilities projects that enhance every aspect of the School’s mission. In addition to the beautifully renovated classrooms and libraries, now the Lower, Middle and Upper School STEAM centers have revitalized our science, math and arts curriculum. The stunning new Athletic Center serves children from Pre-K through Twelfth Grade, not only as a base for many of our physical education and athletic programs, but also because now the whole school can gather together in one inspiring space. Other contributions of the Campaign are less visible but equally important: they include increased endowment for financial aid and support for faculty development, both initiatives strengthening the core of our student body and the quality of our teaching.

The resounding success of the Campaign was the result of an extraordinary group effort on the part of every member of our community: alumni, parents, trustees, faculty and the School’s leadership. The Board of Trustees is so grateful to all those who participated in the Campaign as both donors and volunteers. The effects of your contributions will be felt for generations to come.

The Board is now looking forward to starting its own work for the upcoming year. We are delighted to welcome Wesley Markham, Dylan Leith ’04, and Galina Flider P ’26, ’28 as new members of our dedicated group of trustees. Among other issues, we certainly plan to continue participation in and support of the Facing Forward initiative as it moves into its second year with the theme of “Belonging.” We will also be hearing more about the ways in which the School will attend to the social and emotional health of our students. As always, we have great confidence in Paul Stellato and his leadership team, who brought us through the trials of the past year and will now take us forward this year, when we can build on all we have learned from the past and chart a clear path for the future.

Dear Princeton Day School Community, I am proud of our school community for their exceptional flexibility, commitment, and efforts in making the 2020-2021 academic year a success. Whether in person or virtual, we supported our students this year. We pulled together when it counted despite the uncertainty and challenges we faced in a global pandemic. PDS has done far more than adapt — We have thrived!

We could not accomplish any of this without the generous supporters who gave to the Annual Fund and the THRIVE! Capital Campaign. The impact of giving can be seen throughout our School — from scholarships to facilities to programming to faculty support. Each gift is an essential part of our ability to thrive year-to-year.

Here are some of the highlights of our accomplishments during the past year: • Rising to the challenge of COVID-19. We have worked diligently to protect our community and keep our doors open while always supporting our academic mission.

• Ensuring the success of our students through our ability to implement innovative academic programs.

We are especially proud of the use of the DTEN video conferencing systems in our classrooms which allowed students to learn remotely when needed while still having in-person classes.

• Building a better future for all. We made strides through supporting faculty development, redefining the classroom experience, and growing our beautiful campus with the opening of the new Athletic Center thanks to the success of the THRIVE! Capital Campaign.

• Increasing the Annual Fund. The PDS Annual Fund raised over $1,850,000 this year which was put to work immediately towards critical resources that impact virtually every aspect of school life and learning this year. These gifts provide flexible, unrestricted support that is crucial each year which has been more powerful than ever as we’ve faced unprecedented challenges.

• Completing the THRIVE! Capital Campaign — the School’s largest campaign in history. When we embarked on a capital campaign eight years ago, we did so because PDS needed to rise to meet the needs of today’s students. We set an ambitious goal of $55 million. I am excited to share that what we discovered was our community had been waiting for an opportunity for such a collective initiative and together, we exceeded our goal raising over $58.6 million. I look forward to sharing the THRIVE! Campaign Impact Report which will illustrate the positive effects of our fundraising efforts on the student experience.

We are grateful to our trustees, parents, alumni, faculty, staff and friends who have supported us with their philanthropy throughout this challenging year. We look ahead with great enthusiasm for the future of the School thanks to the strong leadership of our community. As Princeton Day School and the world emerge from the pandemic, we remain focused on thriving today — tomorrow — and always.

I am proud to work with you to help advance the School’s growth as we continue to teach the next generation of global change makers here on the Great Road. YOU make every day a great day to be a Panther — thank you!

With great pride and thanks,

Katherine A. Schulte Assistant Head of School for Advancement and Strategic Priorities The following pages list the individuals, families, foundations and corporations that have made contributions from July 1, 2020 to June 30, 2021.

The May Margaret Fine Society Honoring and recognizing those who understand the important legacy a planned gift creates.

The May Margaret Fine Society: Established in 1998, the May Margaret Fine Society recognizes those loyal alumnae/i, parents and friends who have informed the school that they have made provisions for Princeton Day School in their estate plans. Including the school in their will, establishing a charitable trust while maintaining life income, or naming the school as a life insurance beneficiary are some of the ways these individuals have helped secure the long-term strength of Princeton Day School. We are grateful for the generosity and vision of these planned giving donors.

On May 7th, 2021, the Princeton Day School community came together to celebrate and support our school in a BIG way on our 5th Annual Day of Giving.

The Day of Giving, a 24-hour fundraising event, brought alumni, parents, parents of alumni, faculty and friends together in support of our school. As students celebrated Blue and White Day, the entire community showed their Panther Pride with gifts to the Annual Fund.

In true Panther fashion, our community exceeded our greatest expectations, raising $434,080 from 764 donors – a record breaking year!

I don’t feel that old! There are only three of us left. Gordon McAllen Baker and I have fun catching up via phone. I’m grateful that I have good health and enjoy long walks, trying to play tennis and bicycling with ‘Ye Old Spokes,’ a group of friends here at Normandy Farms Estates, a CCRC in Blue Bell, PA..... my motto is ‘use it or lose it!’”

Jo Cornforth Coke wrote: “I am in London for at least a year! My sister, Julia Cornforth Holofcener ’61, is producing a play she has been working on for about five years and is casting now. Goal is to go on tour for a month next spring, then to the West End. I am along as an unpaid personal assistant.

When we arrived in May, we had to quarantine for ten days and have two entry tests… the ‘plague police’ even showed up one early Sunday morning! The restrictions were bearable, and we are having some fun times: trips to Brighton to see a play, and to the Isle of Wight to visit friends; went to a wonderful Van Gogh ‘immersive experience’ in London; had dinner at an exclusive club, and hobnobbing with our landlord, the former speaker of the House of Lords!! Problems with my right knee may take me back to the U.S. for replacement. Much love…where have the years gone????”

Mary Tyson Goodridge Lund wrote: “Broken hip and femur have given me new understandings. Time for reflection, writing and healing, plus time to deal with my impatience! Surprising gifts! However, once is enough.” She prays that “CA is not burned beyond recognition. Fires are prevalent. Our insurance company canceled fire protection due to high risk of fire. Paid company for 36 prior years!”

Alice Marie Nelson reported: “The only exciting news I have to report is that I had my aortic heart valve replaced on May 14.

Amazing procedure. I went into the hospital on Friday morning, had the valve replaced, spent a sleepless night, and went home the next afternoon! Feeling great and still doing Pilates and strength training twice a week.

Ann and I (and kitty) are happily spending most of our time here at the lake and very grateful to be able to do so!”

Barbara Kohlsaat Van Oehsen wrote: “Heard from Annie Belford Ulanov who is fine and lives in Connecticut. She has just finished writing another book! Annie wrote she met a big bear coming at her as she descended her pool steps! Fortunately, the bear was on the other side of a chain link fence, which is

strong and durable. She remembered from another bear encounter not to run, not to startle, to make some noise, which she did, and the bear wandered off….” Barb is fine and her plants are thriving with all the rain.

Laura Travers Pardee reported that she had a delightful lunch and visit with Jeanie Crawford. “Her cottage is lovely at Quarry Hill.” Laura and Fred spent a month traveling to and from New England—first to a celebration of the announcement of their grandson’s engagement in Vermont, then exploring family roots in Vermont, next on to Maine for a week, then a visit with Laura’s cousin and her husband in New Hampshire and, finally, headed back home via Ardmore to visit their son and his wife. “A wonderful memorable trip!”

Jeanie Crawford ’55 (left) and Laura Travers Pardee ’55 enjoyed lunch together this past summer I, L. Chloe King, love our new abode in North Hill, Needham! The move on April 1 went well, and we settled in quickly. We are enjoying our cottage in the NH woods on our lake as often as possible. Life is good! Thanks to all who sent mail…

During the summer, she also traveled to Vermont and Maine. Between trips, she can often be found at the bridge table, taking classes, or cheering for her teenage grandchildren in action with their rowing clubs. They share Helen’s competitive spirit by participating in world rowing competitions.

I phoned Eugénie Rudd Fawcett to ask if she had retired from her teaching job at Berkshire Country Day School. She told me she is still teaching Latin to seventh and eighth graders, but now just part-time. “With part-time

Deeply Rooted: Michael Reed ’03 Inclusively Supports PDS Students, Forwarding Work His Mother Championed Michael D. Reed ’03 learned at a young age that Princeton Day School would be an important place in his life. Not only because he is a PDS “lifer” who attended the school from PreK-12th Grade, but because his mother, Gwen Reed, was the first ever diversity coordinator for a consortium of independent schools in the Princeton area. Over her 20 years at Princeton Day School, she personally mentored countless students, especially children of color, first generation and low-income students from the Greater Trenton area. Her support and guidance in their lives helped lead to personal and academic success, with many of these students attending the finest universities in the world, including all eight Ivy League institutions.

Reed, too, felt the positive effects of those strong relationships with faculty. “I feel like I spent more time in the halls of PDS than I did in my own home,” Reed recalled.

“When you spend so much time making connections with teachers from such a young age, it’s natural to look up to those teachers as parental figures. My situation was unique because of my mother’s position at the school, which made these educators her peers. All of the teachers I interacted with through academics, summer camps and enrichment programs have made strong impacts on my life.”

Michael Reed ’03, Senior Advisor and Director of Member Services at the Office of the Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives After he graduated from PDS, Reed also went on to a top postsecondary destination, Georgetown University. Following his graduation from Georgetown, Reed pursued an impressive career path into politics that included policy analytics for the Black Caucus of State Legislators and Chief of Staff to Congressman Eric Swalwell (D-CA-15). He currently serves as the Senior Advisor and Director of Member Services at the Office of the Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives.

“One of the things I’ve always enjoyed about this work, especially when I worked for New Jersey members of the House of Representatives, is interfacing with PDS folks. When I worked in different offices, I enjoyed the opportunity to meet with PDS class trips when they came to Washington D.C. and to touch base with my former teachers and classmates.” On the power of meeting fellow PDS alums in so many different places, Reed stated, “It only goes to demonstrate the interesting and extensive reach that PDS has around the world.”

He would continue strengthening PDS student connections when he participated in the School’s Black History Month Celebration in February 2021 as the keynote speaker.

Lasting Legacies

JOURNAL

When asked about his initial reaction to receiving the invitation to act as the keynote speaker, Reed said he was “very surprised, humbled and honored” to speak with the PDS community during the School’s culminating event of Black History Month.

“Like my mother before me, I wanted to support PDS students in finding their voices. I wanted to support them in making the School a better place for everyone.”

“While I am proud of my career path and accomplishments, it was always my greatest priority to honor my mother during the keynote address. Her singular presence in the history and legacy of PDS when it came to supporting not only students of color, but students with all kinds of needs, is unparalleled. Her ability to see students for who they were as people and seeing that all kinds of children really do belong at PDS is a legacy that is continued today not only through the School’s Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) initiatives, but throughout the entire faculty and staff.”

Since last summer, building on decades of DEI efforts, the PDS community has passionately continued to work to transform the school environment and become the inclusive community they aspire to be. After the murder of George Floyd in 2020, it has been the main goal and mission of the School to ensure that all community members will be able to experience authentic inclusion within PDS through the eradication of any forms of marginalization or inequity in the culture and program. Through a series of town halls and affinity-based sessions for community members, broad and deep professional development work, DEI resourcing and seven working groups tasked to help identify and achieve DEI goals across every aspect of the program, PDS has updated its mission for all students as a school that “aspires to create a diverse, equitable and inclusive community in which all members are seen, challenged, affirmed, respected and valued.”

Gwen Reed

Reed’s experience as a Black student has inspired him and his fellow alums to revisit the PDS community. “I thought it was very important for us as Black alums to re-engage with the community as best we could to provide support for those students who sometimes feel isolated. I understand those feelings of isolation because, regardless of whether or not I felt I belonged at PDS, being just one of four black students in my graduating class made those feelings of isolation inevitable.”

It was in remembering those feelings that Reed recalled the lasting effect his mother had on so many students during her time at PDS. “Like my mother before me, I wanted to support PDS students in finding their voices. I wanted to support them in making the School a better place for everyone.”

students to embrace the truth that they are capable of achieving anything: “What PDS is preparing students for is to take leadership in the world, whether that’s leadership and responsibility over oneself or a business. When those opportunities emerge for students at PDS, I want them to know that they have been well prepared to embrace those moments.”

Reed and his fellow alums attended PDS town halls and DEI sessions, and through those experiences, he reaffirmed his belief that PDS excels in facilitating student-led learning, skill building and sustained opportunities across an extraordinary array of disciplines and interests. He wants all PDS

Dana is about to have cataract surgery on her second eye, which most of us had already experienced.

Nan has rented in Boston to see if she enjoys living nearer civilization. Her mother is 103 and going pretty strong!!!

This summer I was fortunate to have wonderful conversations with two of our California classmates: Betsy Carter Bannerman and Linda Mullaly Masten.

Betsy lives in San Francisco and, like all of us, has been sheltering and hopes to avoid any new variants of Covid. Several of her interest groups have not gathered during the pandemic and she especially has missed her choir group, Threshold Choir, which sings at the beds of those who are ill. Threshold has groups all over the world and Betsy encourages any singers to join. Zoom get-togethers have been a challenge for the group as current technology makes it difficult to do harmony.

Betsy is a member of a writing group and has written two songs for her choir group.

Tinka is writing the last part of her trilogy and editing the first part.

Lucy suggested we look up the PROUST QUESTION and gave us an example “What is your greatest fear?” to be answered in 45 seconds. Maybe we will try doing some of those in the next Zoom, probably in mid-November.

Susie was able to see my neighborhood fox run by during the Zoom.

Cecilia Aall Mathews could not attend as she had children and grandchildren in the Adirondacks where they had just milked cows and weeded corn rows.

We ended by saying that despite occasional bad times, we are and have been so very privileged despite not realizing this while at MFS when we just took our fortunate lives for granted.

I am hoping more classmates will join us for the next Zoom.

Tibby Chase Dennis wrote: “Last spring, quite impulsively, I looked over the first draft of a book I had been writing over twenty years ago, My Neighbor, My Self: Beginning Reflections on a Spirituality of Service and wondered if I might possibly do something with it now and found myself a month later with a book contract with Wipf and Stock, a primarily religious publisher, with a September 1st deadline! Am now in the throes of trying to complete pretty extensive revisions of what I wrote before. We’ll see how this goes...I guess we’ll also see how Covid goes. It has certainly been wonderful to have this respite of a few months from the constant barrage of news and warnings about possible infections.

Cynthia and I had a great visit at my little bungalow up in Whitefield, NH, and it’s really been lovely to be attending activities and visiting folks again.”

Julia Cornforth Holofcener reported: “Happily ensconced in a wonderful two-bedroom flat in London, a block from the Putney Bridge tube station; we are able to go anywhere quickly. My sister, Jo Cornforth Coke ’55, and I were quarantined for 10 days, and even got a visit from the ‘quarantine police’ at 8:30 on a Sunday morning. They really mean it over here! My play, The Big Sleepover at the White House, has a new name, Alliance. It was supposed to open this fall, but the pandemic closed all the theatres, and there is a huge backlog now. At present, our tour is scheduled to begin in May 2022. In addition, I have been invited to present a few scenes at the International Churchill Society’s Conference early in October in London. I have also invested in a four-character play by the same playwright, Giles Cole, who wrote Alliance, as well as another entitled Journey’s End, with my co-producer, actor/director Graham Pountney.

I am living my dream of being a theatrical producer! We love being in England, especially London. Masks still required in some stores, but none outside. Most important news, however, is that I’m going to be a great-grandmother in September. Am I really this old!”

Sheila Long wrote: “We have had a steady stream of guests at Transfiguration Monastery at a time when many monastery guesthouses are closed. We are listed on www.retreatfinder.com as being pet-friendly with the result that many guests bring their dogs. Ruby, whom we adopted last summer as a six-yearold retiree from producing puppies, continues to be a joy and delight.”

Lucia Norton wrote: “What a treat to hug much taller grandchildren, eat in restaurants, feel opened up!”

Ramsay “Cherry” Raymond reported: “I retired last year and moved to Holyoke, MA. After living in a community for seven years, the new solitude allowed me to set up a yummy, restful nest. Kitchen! Bath! Patio!

I will soon visit with Tuck (Tucky Ramus) and Tibby (Chase) and seek out old and new connections here. I continue fiddling with writing and photography while showering a fair amount of attention on plants, the solace of old age. I am slowly winnowing possessions and activities, hoping that a graceful simplicity may emerge. HAH. Old Age is a Whole New Continent, isn’t it? Worth a Ph.D. at least.”

Janey Smith had to give up her beloved bookstore three years ago and now spends her Vermont months vegetable and flower gardening, and winters in Florida.

Nancy Smoyer said: “Looking at what I’ve done since Covid let up, the high points have been a couple of trips to the East Coast.

I spent four wonderful days in Colonial Williamsburg, staying in one of the houses ‘on campus.’ Although I’ve been there numerous times in the past, being on site added a wonderful dimension of being right there. I had lunch with Ann Harrison-Clark ’56 but unfortunately missed Joan Yeaton Seamon.

I also spent a few nice days with my brother David ’56’s family in Marion, MA, which I’d missed out on in the past two years. Other than that, many, but not all, normal activities have been held this summer, which helps me feel like this will end someday.”

Classmates—I hope this finds you well despite this next wave of Covid with the Delta strain.

I have several notes from January 2021, which I don’t believe have been in the PDS Journal so will include them along with a few recent notes you have sent me.

Cindy Brown wrote in response to Pat Halcombe Phillips wanting to know what people have been doing or want to do! She visits her sister, Sally, often; she can’t wait to go to the chiropractor and restaurants. “Of course, what I want is to travel, but that is not going to happen soon.”

Paige Aaron said life is good in Maryland.

“Living on a wonderful 40-acre farm with great hiking trails, two sweet boys who call me Grannie, three dogs, wonderful landlord and lots of chickens, ducks and geese. I have two of my son’s cats inside with me and two outsiders who visit. Love the pond where I can sit and meditate. Looking forward to going out someday without masks and being able to hug people again.”

Wendy Coppedge Sanford wrote: “As white, relatively affluent retired people, Polly and I are spared the dangers that so many face

with the pandemic. Our marriage (41 years now) has always been a delicious study-date, and our life under Covid has blessedly been more of that. My memoir is due to come out in October 2021 from She Writes Press and, hopefully, called These Walls Between Us: Memoir of a Friendship across Race and Class.

It’s a very personal memoir, and at the same time, seeks to be useful to well-intentioned white people who want to understand how white supremacy culture affects our friendships with people of color. If you would like to be in my ‘fan’ group on Facebook while I figure out how to get it organized, please let me know and I would be happy to put you on the list.”

Kate Sayen Kirkland said: “My Covid year has been spent writing a book (three women civic leaders), so my inner introvert is quite happy to have full rein.”

Katharine Elsasser Worthington wrote that according to her son Richard Cowell, Jr.’s Ancestry family tree, Missy Tomlinson passed away January 26, 2021 in Vero Beach, FL. “Most of my work is academic essays, theses, and dissertations, much from non-native students. I’ve learned a lot about a great variety of not-so-interesting topics.

Sometimes I get children’s stories to edit which are fun, and the occasional book.”

I took the liberty of leaving out some of what you all wrote as I think these emails have been passed around. Below are the latest reports that friends sent this July.

Susan Mathews Heard said that the city of Pasadena just brought back the mask mandate for all indoor events everywhere. She and Bruce are especially fortunate to be at Villa Gardens, where everyone is attentive, caring, and wonderful. “We continue to co-chair the Dining Service Committee. I also co-chair the Fitness Committee and make good use of the great equipment in our gym. I walk a lot as well. Unfortunately, Bruce’s degenerative muscle disease makes it difficult for him to do much exercise.”

Dede Shipway Webster wrote that having secured her second vaccine, she is finally relaxing and beginning to resume activities that have been elusive or unsafe. “This summer I have been playing lots of tennis and will enjoy my second trip to Pinehurst, NC to visit my daughter and her two kids. I will also spend time with my brother, Morgan ’57. Last spring, I coached the PDS Boys JV Tennis Team and will be returning in the fall for the Girls Team.”

Susie Shea McPherson (me!): I have been thankful for the last 17 months to wake up feeling good and being able to look out at the ocean; it is a blessing. Our family went to Rainbow Trout Ranch in southern Colorado for a week in June. It was amazing to leave Cape Cod and get on a plane, but we all got there. It was wonderful being outside most

of the time, riding horses, fly fishing and just enjoying having the whole family together.

Son Rob and his family were here for three weeks in July; their boys, now five and two, provided lots of entertainment. Hope you all stay safe and healthy. Until next time...

Pam Sidford Schaeffer has been able to go to their house on Cape Cod with their children and grandchildren. Pam said that ten people ages 76 to four under one roof is a challenge, and “I now understand why 76-year-olds do not have the natural capability to have children.” When they left LA in June things were lessening there so she was upset on her return to see they had gone back to masks indoors. Her house construction is almost finished so at least they are no longer surrounded by dirt, and she is excited by a new ground cover called Kurapia, which eventually only needs to be watered twice a year.

Her daughter, Jac Schaeffer, has had exciting success as writer and creator with the Marvel TV production of WandaVision, which received 23 Emmy nominations. She offered her daughter’s autograph to any classmates’ children or grandchildren (or maybe even one of us—congratulations, Jac).

Polly Miller reported that she had a fall off her new pony on December 22, but “as luck would have it, I am hard to kill.” After this, she donated him to a non-profit where he is happy and working harder. They hope to adopt two female small Nigerian goats, which will be more manageable!! She is happy that her family has been “lucky with Covid” and she continues to sing in a virtual choir and did two virtual plays over the winter and one in-person play in July.

Kleia Raubitschek Luckner had a great summer with lots of contact with her three adorable granddaughters ages six, eight and 11. She has been amazed at how much their behaviors remind her of either her daughter or son. She is pleased to live in between the two families so the cousins can enjoy each other.

She is recovering from hip replacement surgery with PT and water therapy, but found it hard to be in a new hospital with no familiar faces to help her sort out issues.

Sally Campbell Haas was happy to have normal summer trips to Cape Cod. She was there in May and June to open the house and plant some flowers, and returned July/August for six weeks when she could enjoy the beach and friends.

Laurie Rogers reported that the summer started late this year due to weather, so they didn’t sail as much as they would have liked “until the ‘club cruise’ where several boats from the marina traveled up the Connecticut coast, stopping at ports along the way, and

ending up in Watch Hill, RI before heading home.” She is enjoying her new “lovely bay mare” who is stabled at a barn adjacent to a 900-acre park and has an indoor ring for bad weather. She is pleased the respite from Covid restrictions has allowed her sister in a senior living facility to have visitors for the first time since she moved in last June. She and Bob hoped to do a driving trip in the fall to explore Florida but this is seeming like a poor idea. They will, though, visit friends in Maine. She is very thankful that she and Bob are healthy, active, and still able to do the things they like. She has found that “focusing on the positive seems the only way to live in times of turmoil.”

In my request for news for this column, I asked my classmates how they observed their birthdays (with family, without, etc.), thinking I might inspire a number of replies. For whatever reason that didn’t happen. So, I’ll take this opportunity to wish you all a happy 75th whenever in the year it takes place, and hope you will spend it in safety with family and friends.

She said that her life hasn’t Sharon Stevenson Griffith ’63 (right) with two sons, their changed much since her spouses and five grandchildren strokes and the hardest Sharon Stevenson Griffith wrote that her things are not being able to drive and missing biggest news was the celebration of 50 years all her volunteering.

She also does two Bible studies a could not zip it all the way, but I would say week, which she finds very rewarding. “So, she looks great in it still. They were vaccinated life is good.” in January/February and were able to squeeze in some time on Nantucket in July, where they had a lovely lobster dinner with Polly Miller, her husband and their son, Lawrence Miller ’84, and his wife. They also had a family gathering with their two sons, spouses, five grandchildren and Sharon’s sisters.

I, Virginia Elmer Stafford, continue to do telehealth counseling appointments from my living room looking out at the ever-changing moods of the Puget Sound. I am very happy here in the Pacific Northwest and have enjoyed family visits with lots of kayaking, bike riding, hikes, good food and fun times.

It was a first in July to have all three of my daughter Amanda’s sons and their partners under one roof. It is so hard to believe that they are now all adults (19, 21 and 22).

It has been a memorable year for most of us, not only because of issues related to the pan-

Penny Pettit Kreinberg celebrated her birthday in August when her husband, Bob, threw a surprise party. Friends who couldn’t attend in Portland, OR were asked to submit stories, photos, and greetings virtually. I can only assume it was a great success.

Fran Wolff let me know she won’t be 75 until next February! She then brought me up to speed on her doings and hopeful future plans. “After one horrible year, I was so glad to be vaccinated and free to socialize (at least with vaccinated folks). Then Delta hit! Masks on again and back to Zoom meetings. I canceled my Cambodia trip in February 2020 and will try to go in February 2022. I’m hoping to visit Australia and New Zealand in the fall of 2022—but who knows!

I was without an animal when Covid hit and home alone all day, so I started fostering a sick tomcat from the Humane Society. I am what is considered a ‘foster fail’—after a year Winnie (short for Winston) is still with me—I adopted him. He’s much better now, and I can’t imagine life without him.”

Fran also informed me that Sue Jamieson lost her husband last December to Covid. I remember Max and want to let Sue know we are sorry for her loss. During 2021, she moved to Maryland to live near her daughter and her family. Nothing like having grandchildren around to reorient your life.

This must be the first year in decades that Linda Conroy Vaughn has not taken at least one or two exotic world trips. Instead, she picked up stakes and moved to another house!

That was after she celebrated her birthday.

“My kids, grandkids and I (11 of us) went to a dude ranch in Montana for a week to celebrate my 75th. It was ‘out of this world’ fun.

I tried everything I have never done before and was lousy at all of it…. like skeet shooting, archery and fly fishing. It was perfect. During Covid, I sold my house of 42 years and moved to a smaller house in Hillsborough. I started to update it, but it soon morphed into a full remodel. I still have boxes everywhere and haven’t hung a picture, but it has been a worthwhile challenge.”

Dora Lange seems to have been quite busy this Covid year. “Well, last school year I spent commuting every day to my granddaughters in Riverside to help with their on-line kindergarten and first grade years—

26 years of my life raising money for the humanities for this revered institution—I retired as of August 1, 2021. I put it off for a year because to pull out in 2020 would not have been fair to my colleagues. I know it is the right timing and the right thing to do.

Nonetheless, I am still adjusting and mixing up the days in the process.

MFS 1964 on their eighth-grade trip to Washington, DC, in 1958. “What a crew!” a challenging nine months! So, when the girls went back to in-person school in April, George and I ‘busted out’ of our bubble! In June, we spent the month in Hawaii, later we traveled to Cape Cod (Justin’s family), Maine (my brother), Las Vegas (Daniel’s family), Seattle (friends and family) and, we are planning a jaunt around the western states (just the two of us) for September.

Talk about overcompensating for cabin fever!

We have so far been able to avoid Covid despite all of our travels, following the usual careful measures, but it is hard to ‘carpe diem’ when social distancing! I hope all our MFS classmates are well and have found ways to make the most of these trying times.”

Susan Moulton did celebrate her birthday in style. She wrote: “I did throw myself a 75th birthday party. I live in Salem, MA now, right on the ocean. I rented a replica of an 1840’s pirate ship and invited 25 friends to ‘sail the ocean seas with me.’ It was glorious, plus Covid gave me the chance to stop coloring my hair, so this is what I look like. Happy gray all around.” Aye, Aye, mates!

Like Dora, I, too, had the great fortune to spend time with my grandchildren in Boston.

I spent two months as “nanny” to my then 16-month-old granddaughter, Piper, and her then three-year-old brother, Henry; both children belong to Hobie Hare ’93, and his wife, Lucy. What a time it was! Six months later, Hobie and his family visited Charleston so he and I could celebrate our combined birthdays and the family could experience our southern seacoast. I’ve since had visits from Elizabeth Hare ’88, her son, Jasper, and her husband, Todd, who have been living in Colorado for the past three years. Jasper, now 16, spent most of a month with me, loving the ocean, sketching, admiring the architecture, and learning some of the history attached to this quadrant of our country. Last July, my daughter Katherine Hare decided to move from Boston to Charleston, so now I have a close member of my family living just across town.

“If you build it, they will come.”

In closing, I would like to note the passing of my stepmother, Ann Thomlinson Reed ’40, and Nixon Hare ’59.

I have been counseled not to line up too many things to fill in the gaps, but I have promised to give back to the island where I live in Puget Sound. The emergency team on Vashon Island should have a NY Times article written about it—extraordinary work to keep people safe, the sickness at bay and 85% vaccination rate.

Since I was tethered during the first round, the only way I could contribute was to take my therapy dog to the vaccination sites and calm people’s nerves. It was very satisfying since my pup and I were going to a local children’s hospital before the pandemic struck and visiting sick kids. I am sure my dog, Chia, missed the interactions because she fell right back into it at the vaccination sites. For this next round, I plan to do more as I have the time. And to continue that work, I adopted an Australian Shepherd puppy, Pippin, at 12 weeks and he is now eight-months-old. So, part of my free time (actually, a lot of it) is taken up with training him as well as laughing at his antics, which are many. My daughter, 32, now lives on the island, which is a delight, and my son, 28, lives in West Seattle, just a short ferry ride away. I am blessed with a quiet sanctuary where I live, sleep in an outdoor (quite cushy) tent in the summer, and walk every day with one or both dogs.

Come visit—Vashon was written up in the NY Times in 2012 and it is definitely a destination point.”

Phoebe Russell Ozuna wrote: “We have been hunkered down again thanks to Covid. We are both vaccinated, of course, and looking forward to our booster, but have been staying pretty close to home because of this new surge. My husband is a bird photographer, and we go on birding excursions—most recently to the Sacramento area where we bird for Sandhill Cranes, which is always a thrill.

They are the most gorgeous birds to see flying in at dusk and flying out at dawn.

“I have been filling notebook after notebook with journals and thoughts, not so many poems, but I am now in the process of trying to figure out how to put some of them together into a book of some kind—stay tuned. I run a small press with three other poets— Cahuenga Press (www.cahuengapress.com)— and we have been continuing our activities, planning our next book, and talking to each other on Zoom.

My whole family is doing well and are glad to be in Maine where we can enjoy the outdoors.

Despairing while Covid waned and waxed yet again, I opened my semiannual letter “Dear Survivor/Classmate” and groaned on, “my mood dog-paddles through the murky waters of metaphor... hoping for a ray of good cheer like a golden lab swimming for a thrown stick....” I should have known better; my overblown request for personal responses deterred the aforementioned survivors in our class.

[Bravo! Enviable, if you ask me!] I read a lot, recently finished The Orphan Master’s Son by Adam Johnson. I’d give it mixed reviews.”

John Wellemeyer, in Princeton, referenced the death of his older sister (our condolences) and acknowledged his continued service on the PDS Board of Trustees. “It has been an eventful year for the school,” he said, deferring details to the Head of School and Board Chair’s reports in this issue. Meanwhile John’s literary marathon continues at an impressive pace, with emphasis in modern history.

Highlights of this list include:

On Grand Strategy by John Lewis Gaddis (who teaches a course by this name at Yale).

A series of historical spy studies by Ben Macintyre (short titles: Operation Mincemeat; Double Cross; The Spy and the Traitor; Agent Zig Zag; Rogue Warriors). David Reynolds’s Rich Relations: The American Occupation of Britain 1942-1945 and Daughters of Yalta by Catherine Grace Katz, on the offspring of Churchill, Roosevelt and Harriman who accompanied their fathers at the seminal conference to plan the end of the war and future of Europe.

Finally, I Alone Can Fix It, by reporters Carol Leonnig and Philip Rucker, recounts President Trump’s eventful, troubled, and troubling last year in office.

All this literary exposure leads John to express an exemplary summary of modern America’s quandaries wrapped within dilemmas hidden inside of crises. His sober observation is above the cant of partisan bias: “The clowns and incompetents we have had as presidents in recent years stand out in contrast to Churchill, Roosevelt, Truman and Eisenhower, none of whom was perfect but all of whom did a brilliant job” defeating Fascism and protecting democracy. Something to think about.

Bob Hillier, my most faithful corresponding contributor in this space, eschewed literary reportage. As an architect, Bob spent much energy looking upward and much time looking forward. For this issue he looked back: surveying an oeuvre of 3,500 architectural projects in 27 states and 32 countries. He recalls starting out in business at 13, and netting profits—70 years ago—selling tropical fish in his mother’s Flower Basket shop on Nassau Street. And he’s still selling....

For myself, I trundle on, producing two or three books a year at Posterity Press, and reading many more. This season took me back to some classics, To Kill a Mockingbird (surprisingly supremacist), Seamus Heaney’s translation of Beowolf (the first monster tale in English), and my friend William Styron’s tiny trilogy Tidewater Mornings (actually three novellas of the northern South). Then I was led to Pasternak’s politically pivotal Doctor Zhivago by a memoir I am editing, the work of an American lawyer who spent decades in Russia representing business clients and helping to build a free market economy (or trying to). During the years of perestroika and glasnost he found the prospects promising, the work engaging, the accomplishments gratifying.

Then Putin seduced and slithered his way to the top job, managed to succeed himself once, and again, and then indefinitely. As Russia lapsed back into oligarchy, corruption and tyranny, my author came home. Something else to think about.

Fact is, the older I get the farther the reach and greater the pleasure I find in books. One doesn’t need much muscle to nestle in a comfortable chair with good light, move the eyes, turn the pages, and as the hours gently pass keep an appropriate progression of beverages in easy reach. Read on!

Covid has been very hard on our class. The only surviving members that I am aware of are

John Cook, Ed Benson, John Stein, Larry Estey, David Kamenstein, and myself. All the others have fallen off the edge of the earth.

Unless I hear otherwise, I am going to assume that we will have a bulk memorial service soon.

Condolences to the family members.

My Covid year has been pretty uneventful.

Vail, as a ski area, closed down in March 2020, and the town and county, hard hit by the outbreak, went from highly infected to hardly infected in about three months. This happened largely because everyone stayed home or did all the outdoor activities that life in the mountains presents. As a result, Patty and I stayed pretty much to ourselves until the Mexican border opened and we could move to warmer climes for the winter. We did manage one road trip to eastern Montana to pick up a new Aussie puppy; Wyoming and Montana were pretty easy going about Covid.

We also went to Yellowstone in September and hiked up to the top of an area that was called Specimen Ridge. I left my father’s geology hammer neatly tucked into one of the petrified trees as a tribute. I did get a few very favorable responses to the plaque that I welded to it before our dutiful public servant, a park ranger, removed it and strongly admonished me from littering the National Park.

Winter was spent in Mexico where isolation was the norm, but Covid was not readily apparent, although our temp was taken, we had to walk through disinfectant and wear a mask in every establishment. We were able to sell our Mazatlan home and are building a new one in Puerto Penasco (Rocky Point), which, although still in Mexico, is four hours southwest of Phoenix and only a 12-hour drive from CO. Still have oceanfront and golf for anyone that wants to visit. Welcome mat is always out starting December 1 this year. I look forward to hearing how your year went.

David Kamenstein wrote: “Sorry for not responding sooner. Our family has been basically living in Vermont, rather than Palm Beach, in order to distance ourselves from Covid. Our grandchildren attended school remotely this past school year. We were planning on going back to Florida at the end of August but with Florida leading the country in new cases, we may just stay in Vermont.

The kids will attend school there for at least the first semester. We put our VT house back on the market and our broker is a graduate of Middlebury so, naturally, I thought of you.

She’s a little younger than you, however, by about 50 years.

“While I have been retired for the last 30 years, I am going back into business with my brother, Peter, and another colleague. We have some product ideas we want to explore. Our combined ages are 223. Should be interesting.”

Larry Estey also seemed to have survived: “I, too, count myself fortunate to be among the living. In 2019, Elizabeth and I sold our home

in Stonington on Deer Isle, Maine, where I had lived for nineteen years. We moved to Portland (the older one, not the upstart one on the West Coast), where we lived in a rental apartment while our condo building was being constructed. That’s done, and in early April we moved in. We’re part of a 55+ active adult community, and the early months have lived up to all our expectations. I’m definitely on the plus side of 55, but I’m not the oldest.

We’re near Elizabeth’s younger daughter and at least a little closer to daughters in Glens Falls, NY (mine) and Toronto (hers). Three granddaughters between us––ages eight and 13 (hers) and 17 (mine). I’m pretty much fully retired from active ministry, but we are chaplains to Episcopal clergy living in Maine—close to 200 of them. Keeps us just busy enough. Life is good.”

John Cook also wrote that he is doing well after his knee replacement and has resumed his budding hockey career. (I lost his email in my “confuser” somewhere.) He has been playing with his brother, Steve ’59, and they are playing in the under 100-year-old group and doing well.

I also lost John Stein’s email, but he has assured me that he is still puttering around and has had nothing to do with the troubles in downtown Portland.

James “Tim” Carey, Jr. tim_carey@nobles.edu

Still alive and kicking we are: The Class of PCD 1957! One of the pandemic issues that has me still baffled is time. I am never quite sure what day it is, what year we went into ‘lockdown’ and all that happened between then and now. But something is for certain: members of the class have been great in forwarding news of their lives, and as the guy responsible for putting the responses together, I am forever grateful. The past year has been a relatively good one for me since I was able to get lots of exercise, walking about five miles each day. I continued to volunteer at the local school with which I have been affiliated for the past six years, and though remote, the sessions proved fun and fruitful.

I continued to do my sports photography covering hockey, basketball, lacrosse, softball and such throughout the spring, at Noble and Greenough and for a Boston citywide soccer program, Scores. A genuine high point was a visit my wife and I had here in Boston with Harrison (Pony) Fraker and his wife, Molly.

They stayed for a couple of days, and we had a chance to get caught up in conversations that covered our time in Princeton and the various directions our lives have taken since. Mary and I are heading, with a bit of trepidation, to Iceland at the end of this week for a hiking tour in the western part of the country.

Here is some news of other members of the class in their own words:

Bob Smyth: “I missed substitute teaching the Princeton elementary school kids a lot but hope to be back doing that toward the end of the year. In the meantime, I’m doing some weekly Zooming with folks in the same boat, but of course it’s not the same as being in the classroom. This fall I’m finally taking care of an increasingly bad ankle that has worsened over the last several months, to the point where even walking is difficult. So, sometime in October I’m having ankle replacement surgery. Debbie has a fractured toe, so the two of us would make a helluva team in a threelegged race. Spent several weeks at our Lake Champlain cabin and enjoyed that as usual.”

Adam Hochschild: “This time around, I’m going to turn the spotlight on other members of my family. Tom McCarthy, director and co-scriptwriter of the new Matt Damon film Stillwater, told the Washington Post that he was deeply affected by my wife, Arlie Russell Hochschild’s, book, Strangers in Their Own Land. Her findings about alienated white rural Americans ‘directly impact the film,’ in particular the character played by Damon.

“Meanwhile, a long New York Times story from California reported on ‘the latest initiative in the state’s vigorous efforts to hasten a transition from fossil fuels to alternative energy sources’—a unanimous vote by the California State Energy Commission, chaired by my son, David Hochschild, to require solar power and battery storage in all major new commercial and high-rise residential buildings. The measures, if adopted as expected by another state commission, will be the environmental equivalent of taking more than 2.1 million gasoline-powered cars off the road.

“I hope all our classmates and their loved ones are staying free of Covid!”

Rob Kuser: “I took my daughter, Katherine, and her family for eight days of hiking in Olympic National Park. Wonderful experience!”

Andy Harris: “I’m happy to report that on July 10th, I remarried my first wife, Susan Harris Miller, after 35 years apart. It was a family wedding in our backyard. In attendance were our three children, their spouses, seven grandchildren and three siblings. We are thrilled to be together again, gratefully appreciating each other’s foibles and senses of humor.”

Joe Wright: “So Tim, as always at our age, no news is good news! After 46 great years in Toronto, Betsy and I are moving permanently, in the beginning of November, to Siasconset, our village on Nantucket. Our daughter lives and works on Nantucket, and our son, wife and our one grandchild live in Brooklyn. Lots of moving parts and stuff, as well. Leaving our apartment in Toronto and our current house here in Siasconset for a slightly larger one around the corner. Other than that, we are well and very Covid careful!”

Toby Knox toby@tobyknox.com

Sandy Kirkpatrick checked in as follows: “My oldest son, David, was honored to attend the 75th anniversary celebration of Jimmy and Rosalyn Carter in July. He became close to them before and during the planning and filming of the documentary Jimmy Carter: Rock and Roll President (available for streaming on Amazon Prime!), of which Dave is Producer.”

From David Stewart: “Trust all remain healthy in these perilous ‘Covid times’ (this bug just doesn’t want to quit). Was going to say we’re celebrating the RTN (return to normal) in DC but ... not quite yet. Looks like the Law Center still plans to open in person for the vaccinated (with literally some 2500 students) but I’m not hunting for clean shirts and pressed ties just yet. Jealous of all you who have isolated cabins in New Hampshire, ranches in Wyoming, cabanas in the Virgin Islands ....”

Major news from John White: “Our news revolves around our decision to down size and move into a senior community with long-term health benefits. We sold our CT house (a very trying process with a challenging first buyer) but were pleased with the final outcome.

Leaving behind the farming community of Woodstock, we now live in Hingham, MA, near my wife’s two sisters and a daughter. We will hang onto our Phippsburg, ME camp on a saltwater estuary filled with shore birds. We feel very fortunate to be in good health with only minor complaints. Each day is a gift!!”

Bob Bales reported: “Been retired for a few years and still not quite used to it. Loved my restaurant business but nothing lasts forever… at least I get holidays off now. We grew up at the best time, best music, best town! Hope all are well and happy…great group of classmates!”

From Toby Knox: “It is with a heavy heart I report that on September 5th my younger brother, Hal ’62, passed away due to complications from kidney cancer. He and his twin brother, Tom ’62, lived near each other in Tucson for the past fourteen years.

“The Knox family members in VT and W. Hollywood have managed to weather suc-

cessfully the Covid environment so far. The summer has consisted of golf, attending delayed wedding receptions and, at this writing, a ten-day visit from CA by our son, Andrew, his wife, Catherine, and their about-to-be one-year-old daughter, Charlie.

Congratulations to David Kirkpatrick. It must have been a fascinating experience.

Having grown up with a father who produced documentary motion pictures, I can relate somewhat to what David experienced in making the film. Quite an accomplishment. As usual, summer has flown by, just as have the 63 years since we left Broadmead.

Springtime on Broadmead would have meant that Hoppy, the Good Humor man, would have been parked at the corner. I loved the orange fudgecicles. Best wishes for good health to all the 1958 Panthers.

For so many across the globe and nation, this summer of fire, smoke, tempest, heat, disease, and discord is overwhelming and disheartening, and from this late-August couch seat, September doesn’t look so very promising. Maybe all this, harried by robocalls, screenloads of unwished-for email promotions, and plain weariness makes invitations from a class agent too much. Well, 1961 will plug on ahead, hoping (as we hoped in 2020 about 2021) that 2022 will bring some relief from our woes.

My own summer has been a flurry of Kentucky visits given and received, house-decluttering, sailing with grandson fisher-boys, and most recently, with college classmates harvesting oysters in Maryland. If you have to choose between the rack or hours of high temperatures, high humidity, still air, and tenacious, proliferous bay floor mud, go with the rack.

Regan Kearney always pitches in for family, club, school, and class, and here is no exception. He reported subterfuge in the theatre of class correspondents, writing to me, “PDS has undermined you. They sent an email blast this morning that we have until Aug. 20 to submit news. Now your credibility is as bad as my knees.” How delightful to learn that one’s credibility has not yet bottomed out.

Regan continued, “Speaking of bad joints, I have developed osteoarthritis in both knees and one hip. Though slowly wearing out, I have signed on for one last year of teaching at Lawrenceville, in the meantime trying

to convince myself that retirement might actually be fun. Research to date indicates only that it will be expensive. So, without new knees, cruises up the Rhine and down the Mississippi are out of the question. I thank my lucky stars that I slogged around the Himalayas, Mt. Kilimanjaro, and the hills of northern Angola while younger and more durable. I would love to take one more walk through the Louvre or the Uffizi before my time comes, but we will have to see to those knees first. It’s a major hike now to climb from the pool and trek to the house for another margarita. Speaking of margaritas, Jimmy Buffet’s daughter was my student a few years back, as was the daughter of Chevy Chase. Also, the daughters of New York Football Giants running back ‘Little Joe’ Morris, a wonderful fellow (nothing little about him, either). It has been that kind of experience, working with the children of both the famous and the obscure, but it is time to find a new reason to get out of bed in the morning.”

In a second email, Regan reflected on his boarding school experience: “Going away gave me a fresh beginning that rebuilt me academically and athletically, not to mention the lift it gave my confidence. I always think of that when dealing with kids here, whether as a teacher, or many years back, as a coach: if the kid is not a little better by the time you’re done with him or her, you’re probably not doing your job right.

“Anyway,” he closed, “we missed our chance at a major PCD reunion this spring because of Covid, but I hope we can have a grand 55th at Princeton in a couple of years.”

No slouch of a correspondent, Father John Sheehan responded to some of the questions I sent:

1) What’s up with you? “Chaplain at the University of Saint Francis in Fort Wayne, IN, looking forward to a semester with live students and without masks. Planning a concert in October, probably the 13th. Currently in New York City as I write this, as National Chaplain for the Catholic War Veterans at our national convention.”

2) What was your favorite season at PCD? “Fall has always been my favorite—football, chill in the air, Halloween, the start of school before it got to be work.”

3) Who invented the peanut butter and honey sandwiches served every third lunch? “I don’t remember PB and honey being served, but I do remember Barry Hunter having PB and honey and lettuce—he brought it for a Pink Card afternoon, which I was also sharing, and it sticks in my mind because I liked it, and I had never been a fan of honey.”

That’s it from our chaplain. And to think of the infamous Pink Card—a memory rising Lazarus-like from the PCD oubliette!

A different question from that same list prompted Randy Hobler to write, “Under the category of ‘humiliating’ was the dressing down I received from Mr. Lea. It was third or fourth form, when I was persistently such a wise ass that he finally sat me down. I cannot remember his exact words, but I am forever grateful to him, that whatever he said, he couched it so perfectly that I was brought down five pegs and felt awful—but in my heart I knew he was right. He straightened me out. In retrospect of these 63 years, grateful, indeed, can we be for our teachers!”

Richard Reynolds sent the following, which I offer for the sake of PCD/MFS/PDS class correspondents everywhere: “Whilst you were having fun in Buzzards Bay with your motley crew, we poor landlubbers go skipping to the keyboard to save you from what? An empty column? Is this fair?

“Nevertheless, your list of questions deserves at least one answer. The title of the French book is Colette et ses Frères, and I demand extra credit for the accent grave and even more for remembering what that accent is called.

It had an orange cover. Thinking I still had that book, I went racing, heart pounding with anticipation, into my Library of Languages, looked into the French section, and pulled out a text. Alas, it was not the one. The red orange covered French book was Le Français, much more advanced than the Colette primer. Not only that, on the inside cover was a pasted sticker: ‘Property of Princeton Country Day School,’ beneath which was a threatening Loan Agreement. It was signed out to a ‘Reynolds.’ In Photoshop, I struck out the offender’s name who cryptically also wrote ‘me’ next to the signature. I did this to protect my younger brother, Rob ’69, who followed me by five years.”

One question I asked my classmates had to do with a favorite distraction while waiting to be picked up from PCD on those hot spring afternoons: the Good Humor truck, a relic of which I found before Hooper’s Crab House in Ocean City this summer, after I staggered with bags of oysters into the restaurant’s refrigeration room. Beats the heck out of me how that truck got to Maryland from Western Way and Broadmead. May this image of that white truck conjure up raspberry two-sticks, King Kones and Fudge Bars.

Who remembers the name of the Good Humor man? (See PCD ’58 for the answer.)

Alumni Spotlight Anne Reid ’72 Gallery Reopens with New Director Gwen Shockey ’06 After an 18-month Covid-induced hiatus, Princeton Day School’s Anne Reid ’72 Gallery is reopening with a new solo artist exhibit and new Gallery Director—Gwen Shockey ’06, also an alumna and new Upper School visual arts studio teacher. Gwen succeeds the School’s first Gallery Director Jody Erdman ’72, who forwarded the Gallery’s track record of exhibits featuring professional, faculty, alumni and student artists.

As a student at PDS, Gwen was a pupil of her just-retired predecessor in the fine arts studio, Jerry Hirniak, whose approach has greatly influenced Gwen. “I loved being a student at PDS, and I am so thrilled to be back on campus in this new role. I took studio art classes with Jerry Hirniak every year in the Upper School.

The classrooms at PDS He helped shape my career as an artist and are not just a learning left huge shoes to fill. Jerry was actually the one who told me he was thinking about retiring environment, they several years ago and who encouraged me to are a place to form consider applying for this position. It’s a dream lifelong friendships and match and I’m thrilled to be at PDS in my new professional relationships. role.”

Although Gwen’s relationship to PDS has changed, her admiration for the institution has stayed the same. She says, “The level of scholarship and passion for learning at PDS on every level—from student to faculty to staff to parent—is so thrilling. Everyone is passionate and eager to be involved on an interdisciplinary level. The students are so curious and motivated. It excites and pushes me to seek and provide learning opportunities at the highest level for them that I can.”

This voicemail was posted last May to my number: “Hello Peter, good morning! This is Edward Warren. I don’t know if you remember me from PCD 1961, but I’m calling because I was looking at the PDS Journal and saw your name as chairman of our class, and an article from late last fall about our classmates. Just wanted to say hello to you and to our colleagues in the Class of ’61.”

As if!! As if anyone could forget Eddie Warren!

Just when despair over the Silence of Some Classmates was about to force my resignation, Eddie Warren’s voice appears. OK—who will next emerge from the quiet? Waiting with peanut-butter breath...

Until then, peace and health, and moderation in all arenas now turbulent.

The Good Humor truck was a fixture outside PCD for many years.

MAY 13 AND 14, 2022

Mark your calendars for May 13 and 14, 2022 for the PCD Class of 1962’s One and Only 60th Reunion. For our 50th Reunion in 2012, we had a record-setting 13 classmates return: Rick Delano, Rob Maxwell, Lee Maxwell, Alan Wood, John Baker, John Poole, John Gaston, Craig Battle, Rod Myers, Woody Johnson, John Petito, Rick Eckels and Jack McCarthy.

Our 2012 event was, by far, the largest PCD reunion gathering ever held. At that time, both the school and our class honored Woody Johnson, owner of the New York Jets and now our Ambassador to the Court of St. Jame’s (United Kingdom).

Next year our class will honor Paul Vogel for his extraordinary support of the PDS Capital Campaign.

Weekend events for May 13-14, 2022 include: • Friday afternoon Blues v Whites golf tournament at the Bedens Brook Club

• Blues (captained by Rod Myers) v Whites (led by Rick Delano)

• Friday night cocktails and dinner at the Bedens Brook Club

• Saturday morning bus tour of Princeton conducted by Princeton Tours including a visit to our old school on Broadmead

• Food truck lunch at Princeton Day School

• Saturday afternoon tour of Princeton Day School

• Saturday evening cocktails and dinner at the Nassau Club in Princeton with remarks by our honoree, Paul Vogel

As we did almost ten years ago, we are inviting the PCD class behind us and ahead of us.

In 2012 John Sheehan, Regan Kearney and Bob Griggs, all from the PCD class of 1961, joined us for dinner.

We will also be inviting to our dinners the ladies from the Miss Fine’s School/PDS classes of 1965 and 1966. Debbie Hobler ’66 may be able to join us. If so, we anticipate attendance will double.

So far, Rick Marcus, Paul Vogel, Rick Eckels, Rod Myers, Rick Delano and John Gaston plan to attend. The class has reserved seventeen rooms at the Nassau Club for both nights.

Hope you can make it. Sadly, it will be our last chance to see many of our classmates.

More details to follow.

Toby Knox ’58 reported the sad news of the passing of his brother, Hal Knox. We were lucky to have two Knox brothers in our class—Hal and Tom. They were wonderful classmates. Hal’s rendition of Chantilly Lace was better than the Big Bopper’s. After PCD, he graduated from the Darrow School (with John Gaston and Bob Otis), the University of Arizona, and the Potomac School of Law. Hal was ahead of his time—taking an interest in conservation of open spaces long before it was fashionable. He served as a United States Park Service Ranger in Washington, DC and then joined the Federal Bureau of Land Management in New Mexico. Even in retirement, Hal volunteered at the Sabino Canyon Recreational Area in Tucson, AZ. Classmates wishing to contact Tom Knox may reach him at Tknox3593@gmail.com. The Class of 1962 extends its condolences to Tom, Toby and to Hal’s family and friends.

Class Notes for the Class of 1966, which now sounds like a half century ago. Wait, it is a half century ago.

55 years, since that was the last time we saw each other! It was wonderful and strange to be with someone who shared a mutual geographic and cultural background, as I don’t run into many Princetonians out here. At one point, Vicki mentioned she bought her first car at Conover Motors, and I immediately said, “GEORGE….!” So, I am newly and happily reacquainted with Vicki, who is now living in La Quinta with her husband, John, after many years of living in San Francisco working in financial services businesses.

Christine Clark Kerr (who left us at the end of seventh grade) continues to impress me with her photos of her bicycling adventures on Facebook—through covered bridges, on rural roads of Vermont, doing half marathons and other long-distance trips, which she does with a group of friends. Keep on trucking, Chris!

The notion behind class notes is keeping classmates up to date on one another’s lives (should classmates wish to share that information. All of us class correspondents have been spanked at one time or another for sharing information we shouldn’t have.) But as it turns out, we are also sharing this information with ALL of the other classes from PCD, MFS and PDS. I found this out recently when Vicki Willock ’71 contacted me.

She found out through Class Notes and our alumni directory that I Christine Clark Kerr ’66, on right, with biking friends lived in Santa Barbara, and she and her husband were planning to visit my Enid Sackin Reddick did some serious gardencity and Ojai. Would I like to get together? ing this past spring and summer; I saw photos After all, we were Mercer Road compatriots! of her beautiful blooms: Rhododendrons “Olga Though she is five years younger than I, and Mezitt,” Royal Azalea, Viburnum Burkwoodii I didn’t see her much growing up, she lived “Mohawk”, Daphne “Rosy Wave,” “Gold right down the street from the Merediths, Heart” bleeding hearts … at one point, I the Hoblers, the Dorfs, the Brinsters and thought I was in Mrs. Barr’s Latin class readthe Roses. She played with the younger ing the flower names. I suspect Enid’s plants siblings of all our families; she was a PDS would have really blossomed in that small overeighth grader in our senior year. And as I heated classroom where Mrs. Barr taught us. found out when we got together for lunch in Katherine Becker shared a number of stories Ojai, eighth graders always remember who of her “misbehaviors” while attending Miss the seniors are. They looked up to us, (little Mason’s and MFS. I thought she might be did we know.) Vicki rattled off about eight making amends in her older years for these names of our classmates she remembered troubles, but after reading what she wrote, from the Class of 1966. I was astonished. We me thinks not. She wrote: “I began being had a terrific time catching up over the past sent to Miss Mason’s office while in nursery school for misbehaving and that continued on in the early grades of MFS as I ended up in Miss Davis’ office on more than one occasion for a talk about my behavior. (What in the world did you do in nursery school to get into trouble?) I was one of the girls who soaped the front porch windows in seventh grade on Halloween (except Thomas caught us) and we paid the price. I was in the group of students who got sent home from our eighth-grade trip to DC during spring vacation for smoking and had time-outs given to me by the homeroom Vicki Willock ’71 and Debbie Hobler ’66 teachers. You just can’t keep a ‘hacker’—the reminisced

PCD language—and a high-spirited student down! I’m not in a retirement home—yet— but I am sassy enough to be one of the ladies in the photo. (Katherine attached a cartoon of ‘older’ ladies up to no good). Who is with me? I’m sure there are a bunch of us waiting to bust out of our seventy-something behavior and create some mischief again.” Volunteers?

In the meantime, so many of us are still in Delta variant lockdown mode that it will be some time before we can create mischief anew.

Mask mischief?

I am happy to report that today, August 23, is the 42nd anniversary of Margery Cuyler and Jan Perkins (married in 1979.) Why, that was just a few years ago, right? Our congratulations on your anniversary and successful partnership! Margery also reported: “My granddog is visiting me. His name is Hickory, and he understands English.” This made me laugh out loud! Jan and Margery’s two sons, Tim and Tom, went down to Lawrenceville from Brooklyn for a visit earlier this summer.

With the pandemic easing, we’ve been able to see friends and relatives again. (Who knows what the fall will bring!) Julia Lockwood and her husband, Marc Miller, visited us at the Hunter family cabin on Georgetown Island, Maine this past June, and we boated down to Five Islands for an outdoor lobster dinner. It was great to catch up with Julia and Marc in person.

Julia sent news of her family: “We’re enjoying the summer in the new Wildwood cottage.

Rachel is back in Idaho at the College of Idaho in her American history professorship after spending the summer here in Maine.

Shradha is still quality manager at Pineland Meats, and Priyanka is starting her new job next week as an Ed Tech 3 in the local elementary school. We were able to get out on the boat for a few days. Marc is preparing to do another locums rheumatology job in Waterville this fall, and I hope to volunteer in the local high school pediatric clinic.

Meanwhile, golf and gardening keep him busy, and I’m still enjoying language study and music. I’m trying to learn the violin now, which at age 72, many would say is truly ridiculous. I’ve joined a new choir, and we hope to perform Bach’s St. John Passion this fall. And I have Shradha’s dog, Valli, most days, which keeps me walking! I’ve communicated with Ledlie Borgerhoff ’72 to catch up on the news of Jennie’s kids, who I hear are doing well.”

Pam Erickson MacConnell wrote: “Sadly, we decided to cancel our September vacation to Maine. We’re not willing to risk the Covid virus even though we are both vaccinated.

We don’t want to be responsible for sharing the virus with others. On the same day that we cancelled our vacation, we decided to get one of the puppies we had been admiring. We lost our dear Maltese on Memorial Day 2020 and have missed the company of a sweet little dog. So now we have Maggie, an 11-week-old teddy bear puppy, a mix of a ShihTzu and a Bichon Frise. She’s adorable, will grow to about 10 pounds, and has an endearing and funny personality!”

issue. Although some of us keep in touch via social media, I think that sharing news in the Journal is an important way to remain part of the PDS community. It also gives people in other classes an opportunity to see what we’ve been up to. Stay safe!

Anne Fulper dropped me a note this summer: “Yup! It’s already August! To slow down summertime’s warp speed time blur, I’ve written a little snapshot of my vacation at the Jersey shore earlier in July, in an effort to hold onto summer even as it wriggles out of my arms.”

Well said, Annie.

I had a nice long phone visit with Susan Koch LaTulippe earlier this month. Her English teachers would be so pleased to know that she continues to read voraciously. I mean, REALLY A LOT. Sometimes five books in one day!!! She and her husband, Steve, enjoy living in Vermont and often have children and grandchildren visit.

I was in touch with Joe Chandler earlier this summer, but he was to go to Thailand in July (where he also has a home). Maybe next year we will get together.

In mid-August, Faron Daub Fahy and Eric and I got together at a popular restaurant in Bethel, ME for a three-hour reunion! What fun we had, telling stories of all kinds and jokes, and catching up. We had the great fortune to have air-conditioned splendor! A great respite from the hot, humid day!

Pam Erickson MacConnell ’67 has welcomed Maggie, a new puppy, to her family.

Here’s some more news from the Hunter family. I’ve been participating in poetry readings in Plymouth, MA, and have also read my poetry on a local community TV station and as part of the memorial service for our (virtual) 50th reunion at Middlebury College.

Bill hopes to continue his substitute teaching at a local middle school in the fall and is busy tutoring online high school students from all over the country. We’ve been babysitting for our grandchildren, which is a joy. Our daughter Lauren, who works as a nurse practitioner in adult mental health, has formed a new legal nurse consulting business. Our daughter Joycie is teaching at a private school in Brazil, and Becky has entered her first year at Berkeley Law School.

I’m sure all of you have news to share, and I hope to hear from more of you for the next

He is now on permanent “vacation,” which means less stress, and more visiting of grandchildren and short trips. It’s wonderful to have him around. 2021 marked our 50th wedding anniversary! Now that’s something to be proud of!

Author and writer Ann McClellan was among this year’s foreign recipients in recognition of her contributions of introducing Japanese culture and promoting friendly relations between Japan and the United States. She will receive the Order of the Rising Sun, Gold and Silver Rays.

The announcement reported: “Ann McClellan has played an important role in strengthening the Japan-US relationship. She has made exemplary contributions to promoting mutual understanding between Japan and the United States through her captivating written work, including The Cherry Blossom Festival: JOURNAL

Sakura Celebration and Bonsai and Penjing: Ambassadors of Peace & Beauty. Through her writing, presentations and appearances at various conventions and events, she has imparted an appreciation and awareness of the art of Japanese bonsai and the history of the cherry blossom trees, which remain an enduring symbol of the Japan-U.S. friendship.”

We’re fixing up the new place and moving in next week.

She was able to move to Moscow last May and managed to get through HR courses that included quizzes on Soviet law and the intricacies of fire safety, after surviving three days of medical exams and going to ten different agencies to get papers stamped. She loves her students and colleagues, and finding that IKEA makes same day deliveries as do supermarkets and wine stores!

Alumni Council Executive Board

To my fellow Alumni, Greetings from Princeton Day School. As I’ve noted in previous letters the Administration and Board of Trustees have continued their efforts to transform your School. Physically, these changes have manifested themselves in new facilities including the Princeton Day School Athletic Center and Lower and Middle School STEAM Centers, and pedagogically in a meaningfully changed curriculum and approach to teaching and student life.

I sincerely hope that you will engage with our School to see and understand these changes and share your voice as important stakeholders in our School’s past, present and future. Please reach out to alumni@pds.org if you’d like to learn more about today’s Princeton Day School or to get involved with the many opportunities available to you.

On a related and happy note, I am pleased to announce that we will be returning to in-person Alumni events beginning with the opportunity to sweat out some gravy at the Thanksgiving Games! Stay tuned for more information.

Additionally, please mark your calendars and make every effort to attend the New York City Regional Gathering at the Union League Club on December 7 and Alumni Weekend at PDS on May 13 and 14. Both events have historically been well attended and offer wonderful opportunities to see old friends and make new ones.

To the members of the Class of 2021, I hope that you find yourselves strengthened by the challenges that you have overcome during these last few years. May you forever confront difficulties and hardship with optimism and confidence, be curious, be kind, work hard, think for yourself and know that you can accomplish anything. Good luck, God bless you and go get ’em… we’re rooting for you!

Sincerely, Mike

Diane Erickson ’70 hiking this past summer Diane Erickson ’70’s granddaughter Diane Erickson reported: “How did I spend my summer vacation?

“We spent over five weeks in the mountains of western North Carolina and fell in love with hiking. We did beautiful hikes with amazing views. We started with easy, short hikes and worked up to just over five miles with an elevation gain of 500 feet. Whew.

“Started a painting but have not finished it.

Oh well….

“Spent ridiculous amounts of time watching videos and attending webinars as the university switched from BlackBoard to Canvas.

“Read lots of books. And then more books.

“Played with my granddaughter (three and a half) and enjoyed watching her rescue stranded starfish and return them to the ocean so that they could live.

“Got to spend some time in the winter and spring with fellow classmate Naurene Donnelly before she left the heat and headed north.”

The Class of 1971 had a terrific virtual class reunion last May. We welcomed 36 classmates and five brave teachers for a Zoom gathering.

Lisa Warren led our reunion planning team and she produced a video with loads of photographs from our class, then and now. We enjoyed sharing memories and updating each other on our lives.

We are eager to get together in person next spring in Princeton.

The Class of 1971 celebrated their 50th reunion by Zoom!

Victoria Willock submitted via Wavelength: “A big thank you to the PDS Directory. I took a look to see who was living near Santa Barbara and it prompted me to reach out to an upper class woman I looked up to while at Miss Fine’s. I enjoyed a wonderful conversation over a very relaxing lunch with Debbie Hobler ’66 while vacationing at the The Ojai Valley Inn last week. Debbie drove up from Santa Barbara to meet me; it was delightful to reminisce about students and teachers from Miss Fine’s and PDS, as well as our former neighbors on Mercer Road. Debbie is a published author, is researching a new book, and like myself, an admirer of history. It is amazing when you have the opportunity to reconnect with people from your childhood. Although I had not seen Debbie since 1966 when she graduated, I felt I had just gone up the street to hang out with her and her family once again. I look forward to seeing her again soon.”

Sadly, our class notes are reflective of the downside of life, the inevitable but jarring and emotional end.

A child, a spouse, a parent.

Michael Englander’s daughter, Jennifer Englander, 35, died at home on August 5, 2021. The following is from her obituary.

“Born in Trenton, Jennifer was the daughter of Michael and Joanne (Reading) Englander and a lifelong resident of Ewing. She enjoyed tracking tornados, was a Dallas Cowboys fan, a big fan of horror movies and roller coasters, and a communicant of St. Ann’s RC Church, Lawrenceville. Most of all, she was a huge supporter of her daughter Danyelle’s softball teams, including Ewing Edge Travel Team, Ewing recreation team and the Fisher Middle School team.” To Mike and his family, we send strength, love and condolences.

Laurie Merrick Winegar’s husband, Jeff, passed peacefully at home in April 2021. The following is from his obituary. “Those who

knew Jeff know he had a huge heart. He was authentic. He was loyal. He was kind. He cried at movies but pretended the ashes from the fire had gotten in his eyes.

“He loved his fish like they were dogs. He loved his dogs, Hofie and Gracie, like they were family. He loved his son-in-law, Padraig, and daughter-in-law, Theresa, like they were his kids. He loved his children, Courtney (Kinners) and Wells (his ‘fuzzy headed boy’), to the moon and back. He loved his wife, Laurie, like she hung the moon. He even fell in love with an Irish donkey named ‘Jackie.’

He had time and room for everyone.” To Laurie and her family, we send strength, love and condolences.

John Moore: Martha “Fritzie” Moore Tottenham-Smith ’48, beloved mother of mine, Peter Moore ’73 and Tom Moore ’76, passed away in her sleep at age 90, on August 8, 2021 (See photo page 81). She had blue and white in her blood, as she spent countless hours supporting her three sons on the playing fields and hockey rink, as well as attending Miss Fine’s briefly in the early ’40s, marrying a PCDer, John L. Moore, Jr. ’43 and serving as a Trustee on the Board of Trustees in the ’70s. Our classmate Wistar Williams touched my heart when she wrote, “I was so sorry to hear that your mother had died. I can see her now, so pretty and so beautifully turned out, always with a trademark hairband matching her dress. I loved the way she was such a bright, kind, feminine force among her gaggle of hockey-playing boys, gamely carting you around in a giant station wagon and turning up for all your games. I think there were a lot of us for whom she was an icon. We won’t forget her.”

To Mike and Laurie: it is hard enough to lose my mother, but I cannot fathom what it is like to lose a child or a spouse. My heart goes out to each of you, and I pray that somehow you find your way to comfort and solace and the strength to move forward in praise of their lives.

Greetings to you all. I hope you are doing well. Here’s the latest news from a few folks from our class.

From Beth Sanford: “Still living in New Canaan with my husband, Bill, enjoying the empty nest and the start of post-pandemic life (I think). I keep busy, still working as a marketing consultant in my two-partner consultancy while serving on the board of a couple of local nonprofits, including the New Canaan Land Trust. My two older kids live in Burlington, VT and Jake moved to NYC last year after getting tired of being locked down in New Canaan. Hello PDS classmates: we have a BIG reunion coming up… hard to believe!”

Roger Williams sent this note: “Gina (Cascone) and I had dinner with Carl Sturken and his wife, Cheryl Anne, recently, so I thought I’d give you an update: Gina and our daughter, Bree, published their second picture book together last year and are now looking to launch a new series of middle grade stories, along with a few new picture books.

Gina’s book count is up to 28. You can see what they are up to at casconesheppard.com.

We both continue with our yoga practice and now with Covid dissipating, we are looking forward to more traveling. Our last trip was to Costa Rica last year when we visited with Tucky Fussell. We are spending a lot of time with the grandkids: Sydney is 13, a Level 9 gymnast with her sights on college, and Ewan, age eight, attends Princeton Junior School, where his mom is a teacher.

“Carl and Cheryl Anne continue to travel around the world, having just returned from a week in Spain. Carl is still turning out the hits with a number of artists.

“I am now more publisher than literary agent. My imprint, KnoxPress.com, publishes American military history with a focus on the American Revolution.

Sticking with that theme, I am now a Vice Chair of the America250 Committee for the Sons of the American Revolution. I also continue to give tours of Washington’s Crossing and the battles of Trenton and Princeton, TenCrucialDays.org, I am a producer of a musical in development, TheCrossingMusical. com, and I host a Zoom program, HistoryAuthorTalks.com—I guess you could say that Gary Lott and Parry Jones had an influence on me!”

And from Cynthia Bishop: “Jubilados y viviendo en Mexico, Lake Chapala area in the state of Jalisco. Spanish lessons three times weekly, pickleball about that many times, too—it’s so fun.

Really love learning about the culture here and the language. People

“My memories from Miss Fine’s/PDS: I started in Mrs. Finch’s second grade class.

Mimi Davis was a maniac on the seesaw and best friends with Vicki Austin. So many more memories from there. We were lucky, I think. I know I was.”

(left to right): Cynthia Bishop ’73 with her daughter, Emily, her daughter-in-law, Valentina, and her son, Oliver, at Mesa Arch in Canyonlands National Park in southeastern Utah.

Anne Macleod Weeks shared this note: “Though Nova Scotia has been one of the safest places to be during the pandemic, and we are fully vaccinated, our lives have had to adjust to the changes and restrictions. Though we have not seen our son in almost two years, the silver lining has been dialing back our lives to a more peaceful pace. I walk more, write more, photograph more, and experiment with other art forms more. I have let some obligations go, and frankly, don’t miss them. Our son and daughter-in-law are expecting our first grandchild in the fall. We are ever hopeful Anne Macleod Weeks it will be safe for ’73’s son, Jed Weeks, and his wife, Wynn them to travel here for the hol- Engle-Pratt, at their baby idays. We lost shower in Baltimore

our precious dog to an unfortunate dog attack.

Though reeling from the experience and the emptiness of not having her with us anymore, we were in the process of adopting a companion for her, so we will be back to training a new dog in a few weeks. I continue to stay in touch with Tucky, Susan, Liz, Daryl, Hilary and Robin. They have been stalwart friends for so many years. As always, if you are in the Maritimes, drop in to see us.”

“Needless to say, retirement came just in time. No looking back! I hate to admit it, but we also made it to Seattle, Hawaii, Tahoe, Catalina (seven-day sail) and Florida this last year. Yikes, I sound pretty lucky. I/we all need to remind ourselves of that, especially in light of the state of affairs in our world!!

“I am saddened that Covid and the variants are back with a vengeance. I am hoping we will come through this in the near future. It would be wishful thinking to believe we will be better for it, but one can hope.

Congratulations, Anne, on your upcoming grandparenthood. I am so sorry about your dog. And a sweet welcome to your newly arrived pup, Chase.

My news: I’m still working from home (technical editing/writing) with the windows wide open to the sounds of juvenile Cooper’s hawks screeching and crying; they really do sound like babies sometimes. It’s a bit wooded here and we noticed a pair of hawks were looking to nest early in the spring. I never could locate the nest, but they were successful in raising two young hawks. They are quite noisy and even entertaining as they begin to take on the world. Wild times.

Take care, all. Sandy

From Michael Stix: “Here is my first update to the PDS Class Notes—only 47 years overdue!! During that time, I got a Ph.D. in physics and then completely changed direction and went to medical school. I met my wife, Ami, in Chicago and we are approaching our 26th anniversary. Our son, Benjamin, has his first job in NYC after starting off working remotely from home. His brother, Jonathan, is at Gettysburg College. I’ve been working for 25 years as an anesthesiologist at Lahey Medical Center in the outskirts of Boston.

My wife, Ami, transitioned to teaching her fitness classes online during the pandemic. I lead a pretty boring life and still enjoy my job.

We started a residency in anesthesiology at my hospital and I was awarded ‘teacher of the year’ by the first graduating class. My mother, at 92 and in Princeton, remains as busy as she was when I was at PDS.

Cathy Cipolla Isom ’74 with her “little” brother, Roger; Mt. Rainier is in the background From Cathy Cipolla Isom: “Hi to all from San Diego! Hard to believe I haven’t seen any of you in so MANY years. One of the last PDS friends I saw was Diana Roberts years back on Martha’s Vineyard. Speaking of the Vineyard, I have been there twice this crazy Covid year. Spring was bluster and cold, but sunny, uncrowded, with daffodils everywhere. A sight for sore eyes for an East Coast transplant. I recommend visiting late spring, although I just returned from two fun-filled weeks amidst the summer crowds and humidity, but spectacular beauty (we have our secret spots) everywhere. As an ocean swimmer, the warm water was the best. No, I don’t think about the sharks!!!

“Now for the good news: after 21 years as a science teacher, I reluctantly (thanks, Covid) retired in early 12/20. (Shameless plug if you want to read the article in The La Jolla Light.)

It was a good run, a real privilege, and a career I never thought I’d have!!

“Covid has been a game changer (understatement) and my son, Ian, and his wife had it early on. Fortunately, they came through without hospitalization or long-term issues (we hope). San Diego was doable with our great weather and outside options, but for a few months they even closed the ocean! I’m not kidding. I was almost caught by the lifeguards after one of my parents from school (a doctor no less) suggested we run for it!! It was a great ‘two turtle’ swim.

“Creating online classrooms and teaching five different grade levels via Zoom was—bar none—the most difficult working experience of my life. There wasn’t enough time in the day (or night) to figure out how to do it all. I am sure you all understand the difficulties in a myriad of ways. However, for the most part, we all survived, but I’m not sure how schools are going to cope going forward.

“I look forward to reading other ’74ers updates!!!! And, as always, if ever in San Diego, please look me up! Now that I am retired I have more time to connect with former classmates. My e-mail is: sciencefun@ hotmail.com and my cell phone number: 858775-1956. Please contact me.

Cole Harrop ’74’s home in Normandy, France Cole Harrop submitted: “This past June, I retired from 21 wonderful years of teaching at the Riverdale Country School. Jenna and I moved permanently to our home in Normandy, France. Every day here is a gift.

I spend most of my time outside walking, biking, doing work around the house, feeding the SIX cats in and around our house, and generally loving our natural surroundings.

I do keep up very regularly with my dear friends and brothers, Sab Russo and Ted Dowey. We had a lovely, long Zoom visit two nights ago, the two of them in the late afternoon of a sweltering summer day, and I bundled up in front of our firepit in what felt like a late autumn evening. We plan to take more bike trips together, both in the U.S. and here in France. I had a lovely talk with John Boyd and his wife, Laura, last spring, and was pleased to hear the same irrepressible, positive attitude in John’s accounts of his current life in California. I just wrote to Ami Stix, Michael’s wife, who had asked for news of us, and I took the opportunity to gently remind Michael of our thousands of hours playing ping pong together after school at PDS.

Alumni Spotlight Thompson believed that if individuals and families could gain a better understanding of the law, they would be empowered to have more control. She knew that education was the most empowering resource one could have, and so she ensured that she would be committed to education. “My elementary and middle school teachers made me feel like I was special and that they were interested in my success,” she says. Those educators encouraged Thompson to apply to Princeton Day School.

Tracy Thompson ’83: A Life of Education and Service Tracy Thompson ’83 was in the fourth grade when she knew what career she’d want to pursue as an adult. During a career day showcase at her elementary school, Thompson had the chance to hear Judge Anne Thompson (no relation) speak. At the time, Judge Thompson was the first woman and the first person of color to lead a prosecutor’s office in New Jersey. “I remember hearing her speak and every word she said made me say to myself, ‘Yes! That’s it!’ I knew then what I wanted to do,” she recalled. While Judge Anne Thompson’s visit to Thompson’s Trenton public school certainly made an enormous impression on her, Thompson’s earliest inspiration to help individuals came from her own experiences at home.

“I remember my mother was always helping people,” Thompson recalled, “and not only was she always looking for the people she could help, but she valued education.”

Those values became tenets to Thompson.

From the time she was a very young child, Thompson has always sought to remain a lifelong learner. “There is always something to learn,” she says, “and there is always someone to help!” Even before her encounter with Judge Anne Thompson in the fourth grade, Thompson knew that she wanted to combine her love of education and service. When recalling her earliest memories of interest in practicing law, she says: “My father had run-ins with the law, and I didn’t understand why some kids got to be with their fathers but I had to visit mine.” She remembers feeling as though the criminal justice system misunderstood her father, and that her father misunderstood the law, as well.

“I was one of those students who was dropped into PDS during my sophomore year of high school,” she recalls. It was shortly after she started attending PDS that she experienced a great loss: the sudden death of her father. “I was 16 years old when he passed away, and his funeral was held on my birthday, which happens to be Christmas Eve.” The experience of starting at a new, competitive school and the trauma of losing her father were at the core of a challenging few years at PDS: “As one of only a handful of Black kids in my class, I felt like my teachers and my classmates seemed surprised by my success.”

Thompson’s feelings about her value in the eyes of her educational community have been at the center of the extensive diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives PDS has pursued since last summer’s social reckoning on racism forced a thorough reassessment of how comprehensively the School champions and connects with everyone in the community. Thompson says that the steps PDS has taken to face these problems is of paramount importance.

“There’s still a lot to do, but the fact that the work is being done at PDS makes me optimistic and hopeful.”

Even though Thompson faced obstacles during her time at PDS, she did find the high academic expectations to be a welcomed challenge: “I was used to getting straight A’s before I came to PDS,” she says. “The programming was definitely rigorous.”

Thompson’s experience could have easily made her turn inward, but these circumstances encouraged Thompson to find even more ways she could be of service to those around her. “During my time at PDS, I was a candy-striper at the hospital. Whenever a patient needed a nonmedical request fulfilled, whether it was a blanket, a book, or just someone to talk to — I was one of the people who would help them.”

Thompson’s connection with service learning at PDS continued while she attended the University of Pennsylvania while also tutoring at Holmesburg Prison to inmates who were learning how to read.

She could also be seen regularly handing out blankets to people experiencing homelessness throughout Philadelphia. She even volunteered as a babysitter for the Ronald McDonald House: “That sense of giving back and knowing my family is proud of me is what has inspired me to continue doing so.”

After she received her bachelor’s degree from the University of Pennsylvania, Thompson went on to earn her law degree from Temple University. She would spend the next nine years in the Mercer County Prosecutor’s Office, where she would go on to become the head of the domestic violence unit. For the last 20 years, however, she has served at the New Jersey Attorney General’s Office, where she is now the Insurance Fraud Prosecutor for the State of New Jersey. “I feel like I am able to combine my passions for practicing law and educating students and the community in my current position,” she says.

Thompson’s lifelong mission of providing service and education to her community simultaneously have fueled her re-engagement with the PDS community. “It’s time to get back and get reconnected. I want to contribute to the work that PDS is doing to create an inclusive and equitable environment where everyone is encouraged to bring their full selves to the community,” she notes.

Contributing to her communities through service and her endless pursuit of education have defined Thompson’s life.

From her youngest years of watching her mother provide food to the children in her neighborhood to the years she spent cultivating an ardor for public service, Thompson has carried and fulfilled the promise she made to herself as a fourth grader. In her own words, she says, “life is a journey, but someone may need help along the way. And something can always be learned along the way, too.”

mask wearing. I am sorry for my colleagues and former students who have to begin this new academic year wearing masks inside, and I am disappointed that the U.S. seems unable to muster the discipline and common sense necessary to realize the hopes we all had last June of taming the virus. That said, Jenna and I never got sick and have been fully vaccinated since last February. Probably time to start thinking about a booster!

Hello again, friends!

In an otherwise stressful year of pandemic, weather and political upheavals, our lives turned completely upside down when my husband suffered a nasty bout of pancreatitis brought on by a gallstone plugging the pancreatic duct. That was scary enough, but after being released 16 days later, he wound up back in the hospital with necrotizing pancreatitis from the shock his body endured on the first go. The good news is that he’s on the mend, a slow process to be sure, after spending the better part of seven weeks in the hospital. Oh, the stories I could tell! Trust me when I say that you do not want to be in a hospital without an advocate by your side, which thankfully, I was able to be because this all occurred between the waves of Covid last summer.

Otherwise in my life, business remains good, we’re all generally healthy, and I am enjoying having my youngest back in town.

Sheila Newsome Maddox shared: “All is well in my world. We’ve all gotten vaccinated and managed to stay healthy. I’m still working and so is my husband. Our daughter, Rachel ’12, lives in Providence, does theatre and teaches elementary school. Our son, Zack, lives in Arlington and went to work for Volkswagen Group after he retired from working for the Creigh Duncan Group.” Anyone else curious about that last part?

“The only thing I’ve got is that it is great to be traveling again,” said Jonathan Stein. “Back in June, daughter Remy and I met in Tucson and had a couple of great days despite the incredibly high temperature. A visit to the incredible Sonoran Desert Museum was wonderful. I’ll see Remy again in about ten days when I stop in Salt Lake City on my way back from the annual Monterey car week. We’re also planning a family vacation in Eastern and Central Europe for November and we’re hoping that it will be possible for it to actually happen.” As of this writing, Jon, that’s not looking too likely.

From Phil Thompson: “New grandchild this year. My oldest is moving up in the ranks of local police department. Other son moved into marketing (loves it) and my daughter is dedicated to her grade school class. I remain active in EMS/OEM. My wife retired, so just getting used to that. My company is growing with its second purchase of another company and a third planned. Still getting time to vacation/escape to Vermont once a month.”

Congrats on the wee one, Phil!

I should have known that living in Docksiders was an indicator of things to come for Cory Fischer Sertl. She shared: “Hope you are well. Living in Rochester, NY and spending time in Jamestown, RI this summer racing sailboats with family— husband Mark, daughter Katja (Annapolis, MD) and son Nick (Somerville, MA)—and many of their friends. My volunteer role as President of the Board of U.S. Sailing is finishing up this November. It has been an interesting, rewarding and challenging three years! I was elected to World Sailing’s Board last year and am looking forward to some international travel soon. I was in Princeton with my brother, Henry Fischer ’79, and other family to celebrate my mother’s ( Jean O’Neill Huntington) 95th birthday on Mother’s Day. She was going strong right up until suffering a stroke in late June.

Her PDS connection was refereeing field hockey!”

Anyone into crypto? I’m taking a class currently and am fascinated by the possibilities offered by blockchain technology. Gwyneth Hamel Iredale is part of that world and offered: “My update is that I’m working in the exciting world of blockchain for real estate. Connect with me on LinkedIn for more on that. On a personal side, my 22-yearold son is transferring to Pace University in NYC. Daughter is heading off to college this year. I’m still an avid hiker enjoying all that Oregon has to offer for outdoor enthusiasts.

Visitors are welcomed. Perhaps Sandy Shaw, Julie Stabler Hull and I can connect here in the Pacific Northwest.”

“Greetings from Vergennes, Vermont!” hailed Alyssa Oxley. “With the onset of Covid, I retired from the teaching of glass fusing techniques I’d been doing for the previous nine years, in the Burlington area, and all over the place. I also brought my 92-yearold dad from a group home to live with me.

We both survived sharing space for almost a year(!) He’s now in more capable hands (and many of them) in a nearby nursing home, allowing me uninterrupted sleep. And I’m splitting my waking hours between running my cozy, private Airbnb upstairs, and deliriously happily making whatever I want, in my (kiln) glass studio out back.” Our class has so many artists and creative types! We were fortunate to have had the exposure in our formative years.”

Speaking of creative and artistic talent, congratulations go out to E. J. Barnes on her recent accomplishment. She wrote: “I am delighted to announce that I am exhibiting at my first comic book convention since what seems like forever. The Massachusetts Independent Comics Expo will be scaling down to Mini-MICE, held in an outdoor venue in Cambridge, MA, the last weekend of August.

By the time you read this note, it will be in the past, so I’ll be able to report more when I see you online in September. Knock wood.”

E.J.’s reference is to our scheduled virtual reunion, which I’m hoping many will have attended. If you didn’t receive notification of the event, it’s because I don’t have your contact info. Please reach out secure in the knowledge that I will keep it confidential if requested to do so. On a related note, I feel that PDS owes us a physical reunion, and if there’s interest, I will lobby them for a spot in May. And if our virtual reunion goes well, perhaps we can make it an annual event? Let me know, folks.

If you haven’t shared news here in a while, please hammer out a quick note for the spring edition. Or call me! Carl Spataro and I had a great time catching up (and learning the hard way that we can’t stay up yakking into the wee hours anymore without it killing us the next day, lol). I can report that he’s “stayin’ out of trouble” and keeping plenty busy with work for the county and in his own business ventures. I also heard from Tom Moore, Amos Harris, Cintra Eglin Willcox, Caren Ludmer, Nan Giancola Walsh and Ann McClure Noel, and am happy to report that they’re all still kickin.’

Alexis Arlett Kochmann ’77 with her mom and son Alexis Arlett Kochmann shared: “Seriously don’t have a lot to update—still working for Habitat for Humanity. Husband, Michael, and I are finally taking a vacation shortly to our favorite island, Anguilla, and as is typical these past 18 months, spending lots of time in our backyard! Will get to have some fun with Alan Taback, Laura Farina ’79, Paul Goldman ’75 and some other PDSers at Tabs’ on 9/10!”

Keith Usiskin and his wife, Michelle, climbed to the top of Cascade Mountain in NY. He added, “Now that I am semi-retired, we have a goal to do half of the 46 high peaks in the Adirondacks!” I think it is so interesting how many of our classmates are outdoorsmen (and women)!

Clooie has her own business now and is happy to have the flexibility to do things like go on nature walks on pretty weekdays during lunch! It was really nice to see her; I hope to have more ‘small world’ encounters with classmates in the future!”

Hello, dear classmates. As we hunker down (yet again) to further Covid restrictions, I can only hope this pandemic will fade by next spring, and that we can actually celebrate our 45th reunion (gasp!) on the Great Road in person. I must admit, I did not miss being in Princeton for the 17-year-cicadas in June. I still have nightmares from the experience in 1970 (wasn’t it?).

I recently read that Leslie Packard is a painter, and her art is displayed in the Packard Gallery in Provincetown, MA, https://www. packardgallery.com/leslie.html, which was founded by her mother, Anne, also an artist.

Harold Tanner wrote that he “finds that the mounting tension between the USA and China is, sadly, driving interest in his books on Chinese military history—sales are up, and invitations to speak at institutions dedicated to military education are rolling in (well . . two such invitations anyhow). Not to worry though—his royalties and speaking fees will not catapult him into the 1%.”

His first, Jack, is a junior at Colorado College. Kerin has been to Princeton a few times to visit his mother who is still active and well at Stonebridge. He looks forward to seeing you all at our 45th reunion in May.

And finally, an update from me, Sandra Benson Cress, your class correspondent: Despite the lockdowns and ever-changing masking and distancing rules, this past February we managed to move back to Portland, OR, which we’ve called “home” since 1995. Our daughter, Lauren, has just settled into University of Limerick for a master’s degree program in Ethnochoreology (Anthropology of Dance). We are experiencing the empty nest syndrome a second time, as Lauren lived with us in DC and Portland through the pandemic, a special stolen season, for which I am eternally grateful. I hope you and your loved ones all remain healthy and safe, and I hope we get to see each other in May. Until then, cheers!

Nora Cuesta Wimberg: Our trip last month to Spanish Wells was amazing. This island in the Bahamas is beautiful, clean and very relaxing. This was our graduation gift to our son, Jovan, who just graduated from Rowan University, and to his girlfriend, Morgan, who just received her master’s. Before you go, you have to be tested for Covid, and on the fifth day there, you are once again tested.

Everything is very clean and everyone is conscientious. We never felt nervous. We recommend visiting Spanish Wells!

He wrote: “I guess the main message regarding Covid is that we are in for a rough fall and winter.

The Delta variant has proven to be exceptionally virulent and it has rapidly spread throughout the country. Where we had no inpatients at our large three-hospital system as of a month ago, we now (August) have nearly thirty, tripling in a week. As people move more indoors and back to school, we will see even greater spread and hospitalizations. The same message applies as it did months ago. Get vaccinated! Maintain social distance, and mask-up indoors and in large outdoor gatherings. Vaccinated individuals can still spread the virus and get sick, but not nearly as sick as the unvaccinated. We are all getting tired of the pandemic, but a review of history is critical and revealing. The second year and largest wave of the 1919 flu epidemic was far more lethal than the first. People then were exhausted from the prior year, and to a large extent let their guard down! As our fantastic history teachers at PDS often told us, ‘past is prelude’ and ‘those who forget the past are condemned to repeat it.’

Alumni Spotlight Dr. Hei-Ock Kim ’85 Leading on Gender Equity On May 26, Princeton Day School’s National Organization for Women (NOW) Chapter welcomed alumna Dr. Hei-ock Kim ’85 as a virtual guest speaker. Dr. Kim is the Founder and Executive Director of the Kim Center for Social Balance, a nonprofit with a mission to accelerate the achievement of equal status for all genders in the workplace. NOW student co-heads Nazareth Mehreteab ’21 and Mehak Dhaliwal ’22 hosted the discussion with Dr. Kim in which she described how her passions for music, environmental justice and gender equity advocacy have developed since venturing on from The Great Road.

After graduating from PDS in 1985, Dr. Kim earned a B.A. in Philosophy from Princeton University, a Master of Music degree in piano from The Juilliard School and a Doctor of Musical Arts degree in piano performance from The Catholic University of America. She has performed classical piano professionally and also taught piano for more than 30 years in both private and academic settings.

About 15 years ago, Dr. Kim shifted gears to pursue environmental advocacy as a member of the California Native Plant Society (CNPS). She dedicated her time to educating people in the community and furthering the organization’s mission to promote and protect native California plants and habitats.

All the while, Dr. Kim was always interested in gender equity issues in the workplace and in developing processes to help overcome gender equity obstacles.

Her own success and her passion for promoting professional equity and inclusion ultimately led her to change paths again, focusing primarily on advancing these efforts via the Kim Center for Social Balance.

The PDS Chapter of NOW has provided a space for students to explore their interests in gender equity. Director of Alumni Programs & Giving Kaylie Keesling helped connect Nazareth and Mehak with Dr. Kim to share her unique perspectives with the PDS Upper School.

“I have always had a keen interest in social justice and equity issues. It was inspiring to hear about Dr. Kim’s experience in helping businesses achieve equal status in the workplace. From being a classical pianist to exploring environmental and social justice, she shared her distinct passions and encouraged us all to explore our interests wherever they may lead us,” Nazareth said.

“I also definitely took away the message that you shouldn’t be afraid to try and follow a lofty goal, like changing the world,” Mehak stated. “Dr. Kim urged us to take the leap and start participating and contributing to the causes that we feel strongly for because the only way you can ever make that dream a reality is if you look past the intimidation of such a broad goal and just get started,” she added.

Miriam Chilton ’79 and her husband, Joel, on the Cape this summer Vance Camisa: “My oldest daughter, Holly, just graduated in the spring from Temple University Beasley School of Law. Of course, Evan R. Press knows all this, because somehow my daughter and he ended up as friends on Facebook! She was on Law

“I think that it is important for members of the community to hear about her journey because Dr. Kim started out in our very own community, in a time much less inclusive and diverse than now. Despite that, she rose to follow a passion for achieving equality in a world where she saw it was so clearly lacking, and followed that goal despite it being a total shift in her career and life. I’ve come to realize that there is no rule that you have to just pick a career and stick with one thing.

Dr. Kim’s work shows us that any time is the right time for trying to make a difference and that it’s never too late to pursue what you are passionate about,” Mehak concluded.

She’ll be starting in the fall practicing real estate law (like her dad!) with Holland & Knight out of its Philly office. Holly’s husband (and a drummer in my quartet), Jon, was an editor and producer on the documentary film Then Suddenly: The Bankruptcy of Detroit, which is currently a finalist for the Library of Congress Lavine/Ken Burns Prize for Film. My other son-in-law, Rollin (Sydney’s husband), has just accepted a position as a financial management analyst with the General Services Administration (GSA) of the Federal Government. Working for the U.S. Government has been a long-term goal of Rollin’s, so we’re really excited for him. Also, gigs for my quartet have started trickling back, since everything about evaporated with the start of the pandemic.

Of course, now with the Delta variant running amok, we could see it happen again, but in the meantime, it’s nice to get some live performances.”

In August, Laurie Habgood Carpenter’s family, including Bob Habgood ’78, gathered for a “family celebration of multiple graduations and birthdays that were delayed during the pandemic. Sadly, the pandemic still messed with our plans when my daughter, Sarah, tested positive for Covid days before the event and could not fly home. So, we made a stand-in and had a Zoom meeting to share the love with her remotely. Luckily, Sarah is vaccinated, and her symptoms have been more like a cold, which seems typical for the Delta variant.”

our heartfelt condolences to Sara’s husband, Mike Delahanty, her family, including Albert Cooper ’84, and her friends.

Sam Klein Von Reiche shared: “Sara and I traveled in different circles at PDS but spent hours together on the school bus each day. We shared so many laughs and shared a piece of our lives, one ride at a time. When I saw her a few weeks ago (in May 2021), we were still reminiscing about our times on that bus. She remembered everything and everyone who rode with us. It was amazing.”

Joy Power added: “I was also on that same bus. We were always dreaming up a crazy idea. So many memories.”

’79 Classmates: Laura Farina, Caroline Hartshorne and Doug Fein outside Princeton Record Exchange earlier this summer Over the summer, I, Cathy White Mertz, experienced a breakthrough case of Covid, as did eight other family members, including Oscar. You may have seen me on the front page of the Boston Globe! For me, it was like a bad flu, with a couple of bonus symptoms thrown in. The worst part was having to miss a planned get-together with Martha Hicks and Miriam Chilton on the Cape —so disappointing. Summer highlights: Oscar threw me a fantastic and totally surprising surprise 60th birthday party—I was so happy to get to see Hazard Zenzie and his wife, Kathleen, there! And Martha and I were able to get together for a marathon evening of catching up and solving the problems of the world at her place in Chatham, which is just a few miles from my mother’s home. I so value my PDS connections!

We are sad to report that Richard Sacks-Wilner’s brother, James SacksWilner ’65, died suddenly in August.

Serendipitously, they had had dinner together the night before, for which Richard is endlessly grateful. Jim was a large figure in Richard’s life growing up and beyond. We send him our deep condolences.

We are heartbroken to report that Sara Cooper passed away peacefully at her home in Titusville, NJ on June 21 at age 58 from complications associated with ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis), the disease she fought courageously and compassionately for more than five years. From the time she was diagnosed, Sara was committed to raising awareness about ALS and helping others also newly diagnosed with the disease. We extend

Sally Fineburg shared a heartfelt tribute to her close friend:

“Cheers to Sara! It’s challenging to wrap my head around losing a close friend at such a young age. Sara Cooper and I first met 48 years ago, just before we both started our adventures at PDS. And, as the saying goes, the rest is history.

“Vibrant, engaged and courageous. ... Sara lived life to the fullest, every single day. Her buoyancy during our recent visits, sipping champagne and sharing laughs, made you almost forget she was bravely fighting an insidious disease. Some of you may be familiar with the many upbeat mottos she lived by, like, ‘And then this happened…, #luckygirlforsure.’ ALS may have taken Sara from us, but it did not win. Her spirit remained intact.

Sara was truly a force of nature.

“In fact, Sara, ‘the queen of fabulous and all-things pink,’ invited us to wear ‘pink and fascinators’ to her funeral. Many PDS friends gathered to honor Sara then, and our time together was incredibly special. While such a sad occasion, there were silver linings everywhere, just as Sara would have wanted. Sara cherished her friends and continued to pull us together. After the viewing, a handful of us gathered for dinner, and it appeared there was serendipity at play, or perhaps Sara had a hand in it. The head of the table had a full place-setting, but the chair sat seemingly empty. We didn’t notice right away, but it seemed so poignant when we did. I do believe Sara was there with us laughing, smiling, and joining in as we reconnected and reminisced together.

“There are so many memories to treasure. I will miss our visits and times together, but Sara will always be present in my heart.

Godspeed, my dear friend. #BeMoreSara!”

We love hearing from you.

Alumni Spotlight PDS REx Program 2021 Seminar Series Featured Alumni Experts The Research Experience (REx) seminar series offered multiple opportunities for in-depth research in a range of advanced science disciplines and access to professional expertise not typically available until college and post-graduate studies. For REx participants, in-person (and in 2020-2021, virtual) dialogue with working scientists has included sessions with PDS alumni at the forefront of their respective research fields.

“In preparation for these sessions, REx students take deep dives into the peerreviewed work of the scheduled speaker to gain insights into and a preview of the experiments and results that exemplify the speaker’s work,” US Science and REx faculty Dr. Kelley Bethoney shared.

The spring 2021 virtual REx seminar series featured some impressive guests and was highly anticipated by the students, who particularly appreciated the peeks into top lab spaces at universities and organizations across the country and the interactive Q&A opportunities the sessions provided.

Allison Welsh ’01, Ph.D.

Senior Director, Provider Strategy and Patient Experience at Thrive Earlier Detection, Cambridge, MA Topic: Clinical research and development of liquid biopsies

Dr. Alley Welsh shared her professional journey as a scientist, which has led her to her current work on CancerSEEK at Thrive. She explained how she was initially inspired to study cancer by her younger sister, Betsy ’04, who was diagnosed with Hodgkins’ disease during her junior year at PDS. When Betsy was diagnosed, Alley pivoted her studies toward science and began volunteering in the Cancer Center at Dartmouth College. She has focused on pursuing cancer studies ever since.

JOURNAL

During the session, she explained the influential study she read after grad school that strongly impacted and directed her career in the field. The study essentially traced the evolution of a cancer tumor via DNA sequencing, and Welsh was so intrigued by the paper that she cold-contacted Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, who published the study, seeking an opportunity to work in the lab.

Welsh’s efforts were successful as she went on to complete her post-doctoral fellowship at Cold Spring Harbor Lab, followed by Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, between 2011-2013. During that time, she focused on circulating tumor cell (CTC) biology and NGS-based (next-generation-sequencing) approaches while studying single-cell genomics in metastatic prostate and breast cancer. Welsh then worked at Foundation Medicine leading CTC research efforts, working on multiple levels to improve the utility of liquid biopsies in the clinical setting and seeking to advance education around the unique challenges they pose.

Welsh currently works as Senior Director, Provider Strategy & Patient Experience at Thrive Earlier Detection, a company whose ultimate mission is to further develop liquid biopsy blood-based technology to detect traces of cancer in advance of symptoms and diagnosis. The company is developing a blood test, known as CancerSEEK, which combines cutting-edge liquid biopsy technology with a machine learning engine. The test is designed to be integrated into routine medical care, along with existing cancer screening tools, to help in the advanced detection of cancer threats for both healthy and diagnosed cancer patients. Such a test would mark a tremendous breakthrough in the fight against cancer. Welsh’s current role takes a step out of the lab, primarily focusing on the strategies to design support systems and services so that physicians and their patients can widely have access to the test. “I am driven by a passion for human connection, innovation, imagination and sharing in a profound mission,” Welsh shared.

“PDS had the biggest impact on my life and I often look back fondly on my memories from there. To this day, it was my favorite school experience. I wish I’d had a program like REx when I was there because it is such a great opportunity to explore scientific interests at the highest level at an early age,” she concluded.

Christina Twyman-Saint Victor P ’33, MD

Bristol Myers Squibb, Princeton, NJ Topic: Oncological Research

Dr. Christina Twyman-Saint Victor is a physician, trained as a gastroenterologist, working as a Clinical Trial Physician for Bristol Myers Squibb since 2019.

She received her medical degree and completed her residency at Johns Hopkins University before completing a GI Fellowship at the University of Pennsylvania. She also achieved a Masters of Science in Translational Research while at UPenn and transitioned to the faculty at UPenn in 2016 with dual appointments as a professor in the Department of Medicine and the Department of Radiation Oncology.

Dr. Twyman-Saint Victor titled her presentation, “Sometimes it is better to be lucky than good,” in large part because of a personal anecdote from her early days at UPenn. She explained that a major reason why she chose the fellowship at UPenn was because of the person who was positioned to be her mentor, but she found out in her opening days as a fellow that “the person who would not be named” was leaving for a new position. After a brief panic attack, she was comforted by UPenn Physician Scientist Ben Stanger because he introduced her to her new mentor, Andy Minn, and it was a proverbial “match made in heaven.”

Twyman-Saint Victor noted, “The morale of the story is that, even if the best plans don’t work, it is still okay. Mentors are everywhere and it is okay to ask for help because you never know who will be able to make a major difference in your life and career.”

Dr. Twyman-Saint Victor presented a number of slides to students illustrating different stages of lung cancer on CT scans, explaining the differences in each visual

while also explaining the process that she took with her colleagues in analyzing and treating the lung cancer during a clinical trial. She also detailed the typical process of clinical trials in oncology research, including the three phases of testing that are required when seeking FDA approval for a drug or treatment.

She detailed an important mice trial in which she explored the use of PD1/PDL1 antibodies in treating melanoma. In order to move forward with the trial, she needed to convince her mentor in particular, among the five members of her research committee. She explained the importance of how she took a calculated risk and “followed her gut feeling” in presenting to and ultimately persuading members of the committee of the validity of the trial. The result of her study was a major breakthrough that revolutionized the field.

She concluded with a piece of advice to students, “Follow your heart but don’t forget to listen to your mind on occasion too.”

Tania Schoennagel ’86, Ph.D. Research Scientist, Dept. of Geography and Institute of Arctic and Alpine Research (INSTAAR), University of Colorado, Boulder, CO Topic: Ecological effects of wildfire and insect outbreaks

Inspired by a life-long love for the outdoors, Dr. Tania Schoennagel became interested in ecology, and specifically fire ecology, after completing her studies in history at Dartmouth College. Her curiosity with wildfires and their effects led her to graduate studies at the University of Wisconsin-Madison where she earned two master’s degrees, in Geography and Conservation Biology, and then a Ph.D. in Ecology. She currently works as a Wildfire Scientist for INSTAAR focusing on when,

why and how wildfires burn as well as the overall impact they have on society.

In her current role as a wildfire scientist, Dr. Schoennagel explained that she constantly seeks to connect the science to society by speaking to broader audiences. She has testified in Congress to legislators in response to ongoing problems with wildfires in the Western United States. She has also sought a broader audience via publications, interviews on radio and television shows and meeting with filmmakers to discuss the importance of climate change impacts on wildfire.

Dr. Schoennagel’s session focused on recent trends in wildfire and strategies for adaptation in the United States after an unprecedented rise in wildfires in 2020, particularly on the west coast.

She noted that five of the six largest wildfires in California history occurred during 2020 alone, and that similar results came from Colorado and Oregon. She attributes the distinct increase in area burned in the U.S. by wildfires since 2000 to global warming and presented more statistics to support that claim, including an increase in human ignitions and more dense forests due to proliferating smaller plants. Also, contrary to popular belief, non-forests make up the majority of what has burned the most in the West.

Rosalind Waskow Hansen ’81 and Sarah Sword Lazarus ’81 met recently for dinner at Ocean Prime in Princeton

Rosalind Waskow Hansen ’81, Lex Sidon, Peter Bordes ’81 and Sarah Burchfield Carey ’81 connected briefly on Nantucket in August 2021

She discussed three strategies for adapting to wildfires in the U.S.: the strong policies needed to turn the corner on climate change; new, adaptive approaches needed to manage increasing wildfire risk and costs; and better building, thinning and burning approaches to help communities and ecosystems adapt to wildfire as the climate continues to change.

“It’s great to expose students to different paths through science as well as different flavors of science that scientists specialize in because there are myriad avenues to pursue and contribute in the field,” Dr. Schoennagel added.

I hope everyone is having a nice summer. In the last issue of the Journal, I asked 24 of our classmates, who I believe had never written in before––or it had been a very long time since updating us––for their latest news. While not hearing directly from anyone, I checked with Ann Wiley ’70, Class Notes editor, to see if anyone had bypassed me and submitted their news directly to her. She informed me that she had not heard from anyone. I hope for the next issue we’ll hear from those people and from Michael Blaxill, Marjorie Wallace Gibson, Dan Herr, Laura Von Seldeneck Prochniak, Frederick Haitch, Suzanne Lengyel and Lynne Bowers.

It’s been an exciting spring/summer for my family and for me. While Covid has impacted Meals on Wheels to the point where meals are being delivered solely via drive-thru service, we were able to celebrate my daughter, Caroline’s, graduation from Chapel Hill. She was fortunate to get a position working at Siemens in Cary, NC, a Raleigh suburb. My younger daughter, Jayne, will be graduating, also from Chapel Hill, next May. She plans on rolling into the Geography Department’s master’s program.

Allison Welsh Olshansky reported that she “got married in October 2020—a beautiful Covid wedding on the Welsh farm in Lambertville, NJ—and have been splitting time with my husband, Adam, between New England and the CA desert (Pioneertown).

We are expecting a little girl in September; we couldn’t be more excited!! We are constantly traveling, and I hope to see many PDSers as we crisscross between coasts!”

AFB in June after a delightful two years in Washington, DC. I finished a liaison assignment at the Pentagon and NASA HQ , then completed a degree in international public policy at the Johns Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies.

I recently assumed command of the F-35 Integrated Test Force and 461st Flight Test Squadron, where I lead approximately 680 pilots, engineers and maintainers in test efforts on the F-35 Lightning II. It’s an amazing job; I still cannot believe the Air Force lets me do it! Melissa is volunteering on base and in the local community, and Charlotte is entering first grade in September. We’d love to see any PDS alums in LA, or perhaps out here in the desert, if they are keen to see airplanes, once we get the pandemic under control!”

“I started my own architecture firm in 2016— Studio PHH Architects—and we have slowly grown into a mature firm with residential and commercial projects across the U.S. We work really hard to create special spaces for people to live, work and play in, and in that continued effort, recently brought on Marco

Pinheiro ’15— a fellow PDS alum— to join the company. This was a reminder for me of the strength of the PDS community and of the value that a high school architecture program and its great teachers can have on the lives of its students.

“Excited to (hopefully) put Covid behind us in the next year and looking forward to reconnecting with old PDS friends.”

Anu Shah reported: “On May 22nd, Neha and I welcomed our baby girl, Rayna Brij Shah, into the world at seven pounds three ounces! We are over the moon in love, and happy to say Anaya is easing into her role as Big Sister, as well! We hope she gets to meet ’05 friends (and new additions) soon.”

Like many of his peers, Greg Francfort temporarily moved out of New York during the pandemic (this has made it easier to go for long walks with classmates Brody Sanford and Matt Oresky around Princeton).

He continues to do financial research on the restaurant industry but switched firms to Guggenheim Securities.

Hannah Epstein is in her 10th season with NFL Films. She just wrapped the first season of ESPN’s Abby’s Places featuring Abby Wambach, and is now working as the Director of Photography for a special NBC series highlighting women in the NFL.

Alumni Spotlight

Clio Sage ’10

Clio Sage ’10 Reflects on Her Path from Architecture to Fashion and Beyond Clio Sage ’10 will tell you that, if she really has to choose, she prefers to be described as a designer. “It’s a question I’ve really struggled with,” she says, “whether to describe myself as an artist, a designer, or honestly if I even fit into either of those titles at all. But the technical and pragmatic aspect of designing is what really speaks to me.” Sage has always believed in the power of design and the opportunities that designing can create.

She embraces the mission of her new job, which is the belief that “design defines human progress.”

Sage’s interest in design sparked years of studying and practicing architecture before she ever started designing clothing.

“I’ve always loved architecture and studied it all through high school at Princeton Day School. I fully intended to practice it when I graduated from Columbia University. I even started working for an architecture firm, but it didn’t take me long to realize that, as a career, it wasn’t my passion.”

Sage’s career path wasn’t a straight line from the architecture firm to the design industry. “I actually started designing wearable pieces in college. The first time was for a sculpture project and then I started designing pieces just for myself.

One year after I created that first wearable piece, a friend of mine found it on Facebook and asked if I would design more for a music video he was directing,” she explains. Ultimately, the music video would never come to fruition, but Sage continued to work and rework the design until she had three articles of clothing, each made out of atypical fabrics: solid wood and plexiglass. From there, Sage entered a whirlwind.

Changes “My first collection was all about experimenting. I entered myself into a vendor fair and was so surprised that I was invited to attend. Everything that followed -- the fashion weeks, the collaborations -- it was all so amazing and overwhelming.” But true to her questing nature, after the initial excitement of the sudden fame she was experiencing, Sage was ready for a change.

JOURNAL

“I was in the middle of a lot of transition and figuring out what I wanted to do next when I wasn’t left with much of a choice but to slow down. The COVID-19 pandemic forced me to consider once again what I really wanted to do,” she reflects.

Sage’s experience during the height of the pandemic was not dissimilar to that of many others, but she emerged with a new job at Eight, Inc. and a new passion project: making bags. “Fashion work, or any creative work, can get so distorted when the pressure is monetized, so I’ve decided to forego pricing the bags I make. Since I can’t put a price on my work, I barter them!”

Sage believes that her current job gives her passion for fabrication more room to breathe. While she is working as the Senior Project Manager at Eight, Inc., she is also a Portfolio Development Teacher at Pratt summer pre-college. “To be honest, the arts faculty at Princeton Day School has shaped the kind of teacher I am.”

Reflections

BIG

Make a

121

Difference

Planned gifts make a BIG difference at Princeton Day School.

Why I am giving a planned gift

‘‘

I am pleased to help Princeton Day School in its transformation from the Miss Fine’s School that I knew to the educational entity that PDS is today. My gift is not one of nostalgia, but rather an affirmation of how PDS has developed since its inception. It has kept the strengths of its founding institutions and built on those with programs that are pertinent to today’s Pre-K through 12th Grade students. My gift commends a school that is not a stagnant entity surviving on tradition, but one that grapples with how to educate today’s youth to lead useful and productive lives now and when they graduate.

— Nancy Hudler Keuffel MFS ’58

’’

The May Margaret Fine Society: Established in 1998, the May Margaret Fine Society recognizes those loyal alumnae/i, parents and friends who have informed the School that they have made provisions for Princeton Day School in their estate plans. Including the School in their will, establishing a charitable trust while maintaining life income, or naming the School as a life insurance beneficiary are some of the ways these individuals have helped secure the long-term strength of Princeton Day School.

When you take the step of naming Princeton Day School as a beneficiary, you help our great School continue to thrive. A planned gift won’t affect your lifestyle now but it will make a tremendous impact on our faculty and students in the future.

We are happy to help you make a big difference. Please contact: Courtney Hodock in the Advancement Office at chodock@pds.org or (609) 924-6700 ext. 1251.

Transform. Enrich. Leave a legacy.
