I just moved back to the US after a few years in Hong Kong for work, and enjoying being back in the US and getting settled. My wife and I have three girls — 7, 5 and 1 — who are all enjoying our new home, but always look forward to our summer trips back East!”
Fanya Stansbury Gallo and her husband “have returned to live in the Princeton area. We are excited about raising our daughter in a community that holds such great memories.”
Irene Kim Asbury wrote, “This year, sick of turkey, we rented an RV and did a week in the Southwest. The ghost town of Oatman, Arizona; the Old Route 66 (remember 10th grade Grapes of Wrath?); the Hoover Dam; and a helicopter ride over the Grand Canyon! A last weekend in Vegas to wash the sand out of our hair and a red-eye flight home. I love America. That trip beat last year’s New Jersey Bar Association conference in Rome by a long shot! Since most of my travel as a litigator takes me to courthouses and state agencies (Paterson, Newark, Trenton, Atlantic City, Hackensack,) it’s a pleasure to travel to beautiful places. We just acquired a second home in Bucks County, so maybe I will see more of Aly Cohen and Fanya Stansbury from now on!
I just recently passed the national integrative medicine board exam… The first of its kind. Yes, integrative medicine is now a board-certified medical specialty!”

periods of time. For the last 10+ years I have been working for the same investment firm, Kohlberg Kravis Roberts, where I primarily manage institutional capital in high yield bonds, leveraged loans and other credit instruments. We do not get back to New Jersey often, but feel free look us up if ever in the Bay Area. We wish the best for everyone in 2015.”
Dave Wise also took the time to chime in: “It’s a busy life. We live in Brooklyn with our three boys: Zeke (8), Isaac (5) and Levi (1). We are generally around Bk most of the year and try to spend as much of the summer as we can on Cape Cod. I see PDS people from time to time, and have crossed paths professionally with Ben Frost and Jud (who helped one of my European colleagues try to find a Princeton home). I’m the U.S. Market Leader for Hay Group, a global advisory firm. And Vanessa leads development for the New York City Center, the performing arts venue. In a small world coincidence, Stacey Namm actually works for one of the business units in my firm and does a great job. Look us up if you’re in town.”
Jason White’s news: “After two decades, I am also back in the greater Princeton area with my wife Janet. This odyssey began with a move to New Orleans for undergrad, California for work and graduate school, China, South East Asia, the Middle East, and finally South Africa. At the end of last year I began work as the head of North American sales and operations for Cesim, a consulting firm that specializes in business training and education using simulation training, also called ‘serious gaming.’ It is nice to feel like I have finally come home. Hope to see all of you at the next party at Jud’s house!” As for me, Sharon Thomas, I live in NYC with my husband Keith and daughter, Maia. I moved to Manhattan from Europe (where I lived for a few years) with the intention of experiencing the city for a short stint and

moving on. Fifteen years later, I’m still in Manhattan where I run an education organization (www.maiaeducation.com) and consult part-time at The Brearley School, as an educational consultant. I consider myself a parent of two children, Maia, my six-year-old, and MAIA Education, which is coming upon its sixth year anniversary this spring. I find parenting both “children” the most rewarding and challenging experience. My husband Keith is fully committed to parenting both as well, so we make a great team and are fully supportive of one another (yes, I work quite full-time with my husband and we’ve learned to love it on most days!). On a side note, I learned that Julie Satow (who you might remember from Middle School) graduated from Brearley by reading a note in the Brearley School magazine. Julie is now an acclaimed New York Times journalist, who reports on all things real estate; we had a chance to catch up for a fun lunch last year. Who knew this reconnection would happen because of school class notes? (Shameless plug for you to get motivated to email me your notes and pics).
Jud Henderson: I remain a “townie” in Princeton with my wife Christina and our three kiddos, Maisie (11), Hutch (9), and Mac (3). Maisie and Hutch are both at PDS, which has me in a constant state of disbelief. I’m also still in real estate, which has been a rewarding experience with its expected peaks and valleys over the past few years. Like all of us, juggling a lot, but all good. Look me up if you are in Princeton.”

I live right outside Annapolis, MD with my wife Kim, son, Will (3 1/2), and daughter, Brennan (2). I work for an alcohol distributor doing strategic sourcing, which is every college kids dream, right? Overall things are great and definitely excited to be moving away from diapers and daycare soon.”
Chris Gum Byrne wrote, “Since 2003, I have been living and loving in Carbondale, Colorado, the Roaring Fork Valley (down from Aspen). I never thought I could live so far from the ocean, but life is so good here, the air so clean, the skies so blue, and people live well and are healthy.
