class reunion. . . . I’ve attended the last three (2003, 2008 and 2013) and it’s so nice to re-connect in person. Suzanne Siner says hello to everyone from Boston and that she loves to see photos of all of us in the news!

Andrew Houghton writes: We moved to DC a few years ago to be closer to family, but my wife and I both work remotely, so there’s a lot of travel involved; her to NYC where she works for TED Conferences, and me to Los Altos where I work for an Internet-of-Things startup. Our 5-year old and 9-year old continue to alternately make us miserable and enhance our lives; it’s anyone’s guess what a given day will bring. Hi to everyone. Jessica Zander writes: I started working at the local Make-A-Wish chapter (Massachusetts and Rhode Island) as the COO in September. I went with my family to Greece last summer, where I have been interested in visiting since the fourth grade. And who did I see there, in Santorini, but Courtnay Brower and his family. Unbelievable.

Thad Davis reports: Not much new to report, I’m afraid. I am still working in Boston (Aureus Asset Management) and live in Cambridge. We have two kids at SHS (Eliza ’18 and Grace ’24) and one at CRLS (Max ’15), and it is going really well. I see a fair amount of Xander Dyer. Now that Car Talk is off the air, I rely on him for advice on everything mechanical. China Forbes shares: I am still living in Portland, OR with my nearly seven year old son, Cameron. I got divorced (again) two years ago and am actually loving being a single parent with my symbiotic co-parent ex-husband. I get to see Lilly Windle often and have also stayed in touch with many classmates: Elizabeth Hexner, Anna Winger, Emily Hass, Sofia Kennedy, Mike Ladd, Nellie Perera, Xander Dyer, and Thaddeus Davis. This year marks my 20th singing with the band Pink Martini and it is always a treat getting to see old friends while touring the globe. In fact, we are playing Berklee Performance Center on March 17! Ben Harris reports: I had a wonderful time seeing several people (XD, IB, TD, WA, AT, TM, GE. JF) at dinner during the reunion. My SHS friends remain the greatest. Nick Houghton writes: I am still a prop master in Los Angeles and being a dad to my four-year-old girl Olivia and my two-year-old boy Brock. Always the jokester, Mike Ladd reports: On the record? —Work is great, I’m playing in an adult league, and I see Jean Smithique ’91 from time to time. Off the record—not so much is new.
Suchi Mumford writes: I live in Arlington and own Indigo Fire, a local pottery and glass fusing center. I have the pleasure of seeing alum and current SHS students in my center often. Last summer several classmates (Janet, Sabrina, Caroline (Alex) Robboy), and I had a ‘reunion’ in the studio with our children. I would love to do it again next year or anytime alum are in the area. Our reunion this year coincides with the 100th year celebrations for the school. Hoping to see you all of you in the Assembly Hall on June 3 and 4!

Hi everyone, I, Emily Lloyd Shaw, don’t have any new news since our last class notes—still living in Great Barrington where I have a private psychotherapy practice in town and my husband runs his own agency focused on theatre for young audiences. We have two daughters, age 9 and 7, and are bummed that we have had virtually no snow as skiing is what we do out here each winter! I love seeing Katie Salter Holleran in the summer when she visits her parents who have a house here, and love seeing some of you on Facebook. Great to hear from some new people this time- and will hope to hear from more next time! Zoe (Kafatou) Bunnell reports: What seems like a lifetime (but is actually 19 years) ago I went to grad school at the U. of Michigan for Master’s degrees in Social Work and Public Health. I met my husband Ben there, and we married in 2000. I worked as a medical social worker for a few years in Ann Arbor and then in San Francisco, until I found myself with two toddlers demanding my attention. I made the decision to leave paid work and be a
