mid-February — so our accumulation was well below that along the coast. Anyway, by the time this comes out we should also be reveling in spring blossoms.

I (Susie Smith Baldwin) sent news in from India: After wintering in my favorite tropical and spiritual fresh coconut paradise I look forward to organic vegetarian fare in Vermont… especially fresh kale and kale chips morning noon and night. How one packages fresh kale for “Make Your Own Kale Chips” will be experienced soon… thanks to one PDS family… one of our own MFS ’57 families!
Molly Menand Jacobs kindly invited her daughter, Cricket Jacobs Allen, to tell us in her own words about her exciting entrepreneurial family business. “Our company story is brief: We (my husband Brian and I) started The Perfect SNAQUE with the mission to create the healthiest, most delicious snack products using nutritionally dense whole foods ingredients such as quinoa, coconut and sprouted lentils. We want every bite to count! Stores selling our products include Whole Foods, ShopRite, Kings, Fresh Market, Quick Chek, Wawa and Target. The Perfect SNAQUE products are also sold online through Amazon and our webstore (www.theperfectsnaque.com). “Owning a natural foods company, we spend a lot of time as a family in the kitchen (or grocery stores) discussing, sharing and exploring the universe of food. Our twins (Molly’s granddaughters) Emily and Lyla, PDS fifth graders (’22), share our passion for food and cooking. Their food blog, Kitchen-Twins.com, won a first place in a local entrepreneur competition and they have launched a Kitchen Twins fresh snack product called ‘Make Your Own Kale Chips.’ Fresh Kale meets shake ‘n bake to deliver freshly made kale chips in eight minutes.

The Kitchen Twins product is being launched through our company and there are plans to expand the Kitchen Twins ‘Make Your Own’ line. You can follow Molly’s granddaughters on their food journey at www. kitchen-twins.com. As a family, we are very lucky to all share a passion for food and call it a profession!” I look forward to all “The Perfect SNAQUE” health food products coming from Molly’s family. My mouth waters for their Coconut Almond Quinoa Crunch. Can’t wait to taste the kale chip product from our “Kitchen Twins,” Emily and Lyla.
The class reunion hosted by Faith Wing Bieler was a roaring success. Laura Johnson Waterman and Sally Tomlinson both live nearby and attended, as did Emily Vanderstucken Spencer from Maine, Betsy Carter Bannerman from California and Jinx Prather Tirana from New York. Betsy wrote a wonderful piece about the weekend, which included seeing Laura’s log cabin home and viewing Sally’s wood carvings. Hopefully you all received either via email or snail mail a copy of Betsy’s article. If not, please let me know and I will send one to you. The event made those of us who were not able to attend most envious of the weekend, and hoping that another reunion will soon be in the offing. In the course of looking for all former classmates it was discovered that Betsy Lawall Grant has a jewelry business in Greenwich, CT.

I reached Anne Harrison Clark just as she and Bob Vaughn were about to leave for 10 days in Newport Beach, CA. All is well there and she asked classmates to think about coming to Williamsburg in 2016... Anne’s granddaughter, Sequoia, is now landing axels and doing double salchows much to her grandmother’s delight, while her other two grandchildren, Robert and Madeline Anne, are rock climbers.

The most recent news was from Sarah Adams Model who told us about her ballerina granddaughter, Amanda, age 10. For the past three years she has danced with the Moscow Ballet when it comes to California, having progressed from Snowflake to French Dancer and now Russian Dancer.
Please let me know any news of interest. We all like to be able to stay in touch.

Aidan, 3, and Annelise, 2, grandchildren of Alissa Kramer Sutphin ’57 The name Lyla is in vogue these days. Alissa Kramer Sutphin joins Molly in having a granddaughter named Lyla. Names are very important here in India. Even a postal weighing machine can have a divine name. Names in USA go in and out of style. So many of us Susans in MFS’57 years!
