› FROM THE HEAD OF SCHOOL

Last month, I had the opportunity to visit with Hanna Holborn Gray ’46, an acclaimed scholar and the firs woman to be appointed the president of a major U.S. research university, serving the University of Chicago from 1978 to 1993. Dr. Gray remembers her alma mater fondly: “The Sidwell Friends School was highly international in outlook and composition. The Quaker ethos,” she remembers in her memoir (see p. 26), “held out a high standard of intellectual achievement as something commendable and good in itself as well as for the social good.”

Our strategic plan seeks to deepen that commitment to intellectual engagement in the service of the greater good.

The product of extensive community surveys and cross-constituent working groups, Lead in the Light: Empowering Students to Let Their Lives Speak premiered in October 2017. Throughout the 2017/18 school year, faculty, staff parent, student, alumni, and trustee committees made proposals to achieve our strategic goals. Last June, we assembled those committees, as well as Upper School students and the board, to participate in a summit designed to prioritize goals and initiatives. With the benefi of this wisdom, the School administration presented an implementation plan to the board, which approved the document and affirm its four pillars: Unify Our Campus, Imagine the Future of Learning, Inspire Ethical Leadership, and Welcome a Wider Community. We’ll be sharing more information on the plan and its implementation with our whole community in the coming weeks, so please keep an eye on your mailboxes.

The opportunity we have before us is remarkable. As I have said many times, our city needs Quaker education. Lead in the Light will strengthen our presence, igniting purpose and passion in our students, and enabling us to continue to create engaged, ethical leaders who listen deeply, appreciate difference, and act for the common good.

But none of this work would be possible without the generosity of our donors and volunteers, whom we sincerely thank in our Annual Report of Philanthropy (see p. 64). I am grateful for their contributions and mindful of how vital their philanthropy and that of others will be to the ultimate success of Lead in the Light. Our financia situation is clearly laid out on page 66; we remain a tuition-dependent institution, but I am confiden that this community can and will rise to the challenge before us.

I am grateful for the work that we have all done to get us to this point. I am thankful for all of those who have contributed in any way to a plan that will ensure that this community will thrive for generations to come. And I am eager to work with our community in implementing a plan that will help our students flouris .

In friendship,

Bryan Garman

Lower School students enjoy exploring the new playground.

LOWER SCHOOL UNVEILS PHASE I OF A NEW PLAYGROUND PROJECT Ask Lower Schoolers what they did at school today, and they might describe dangling inches above a crocodile-filled river, scaling the craggy face of a cliff, or traversing a deep canyon on a rickety rope bridge.

No, they weren’t whisked away for an impromptu wilderness trip—they’ve just been exploring new additions to the Lower School playground. “Why do we have recess?

Because it’s FUN—and an incredibly important part of our children’s learning and growth and an important part of our curriculum,” said Lower School Principal Adele Paynter.

The first phase of the new playground was completed in October, with a second phase scheduled to be installed by September 2019. The design furthers the Lower School’s commitment to using natural and sustainable materials while encouraging the kind of unstructured play that is so valuable to young children’s development.

Thank you to all the donors who made this playground possible. Learn more about the fundraising efforts for phase two at sidwell.edu/LSplayground.

SEE HOW OUR GARDEN GROWS

Jake Ifshin ’04 (center, in plaid) works in the garden with Middle Schoolers.

“Gardening was never something I did at Sidwell Friends,” says Jake Ifshin ’04, but in partnership with the Middle School, he’s helping to bring it to the next generation. For several years, 7th and 8th graders spent service days working with Jake’s nonprofit, Everybody Grows, building raised-bed gardens at fire station farms in DC. Sixth grade students, as part of their science classes, have been raising seedlings to be planted in those gardens.

Teacher Lesley Younge (left) discusses the project with students.

Middle School teacher Lesley Younge saw that work as an opportunity to bring gardening to campus in an accessible way. Lesley worked with Jake and two of his staff members to create a modular, container garden outside the Middle School.

Although some teachers do currently teach gardening, the Middle School is pushing to integrate it into more parts of the school day. The 6th grade curriculum includes a study of food justice, and teachers wanted a way for students to understand the challenges sustenance farmers face. “We read a book called The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind.

We’re talking about families who are

sustenance farmers, and how a weather event causes them to lose their crops.

Our kids live in an urban environment, and they’re separated from the production process, so in talking about food justice, we wanted to bring them closer to the food process,” Lesley says.

Although the gardening project grew out of the 6th grade curriculum, other grades are getting in on the action. The 5th grade studies medieval history, and gardeners from Everybody Grows will be back to do a seminar on medieval herbs and cooking. Seventh and 8th graders study biodiversity and ecosystems, and the science teachers are excited to give the students another ecosystem on campus to study.

“They’ve been observing the wetlands for a long time, but we’re hoping to give students the opportunity to have this garden where they could decide they wanted to grow something and watch it from its beginning to its end, and then get to eat the food,” says Lesley.

MY REALITY IS DIFFERENT FROM YOURS: UPPER SCHOOLERS TRAVEL TO A SYRIAN REFUGEE CAMP Last summer 14 students from public and independent schools throughout the DC region traveled to Jordan to meet Syrian teenagers living in a refugee camp.

Led by three Sidwell Friends students, the Project Turquoise Youth Committee formed “with a mission to raise awareness and funds for the Syrian refugee crisis and support the educational needs of Syrian youth,” explains Sophie Horst ’19.

Sophie, her brother Cyrus Horst ’22, and Zayd Ali ’20 traveled in June with partner organization Relief International to Camp Za’atari, which is about an hour from the capital city of Amman. There they found a vibrant community of teenagers who were just like them in many ways, despite the trauma they had experienced.

Over the course of the week, the teens split into groups of boys and girls to complete activities the American students had developed. The boys, however, quickly abandoned their curriculum in favor of long hours on the soccer field, where they bonded over their love of the

sport and the exhaustion that comes with, friendly physical competitions. The girls worked through several art projects. It felt like “a bunch of friends sitting together, drawing together. … That was the tone of the whole trip,” says Sophie.

The first activity that the two groups of teens did together was to teach each other a sentence in their native languages.

One of the Syrian students said to Cyrus, in English, “I’m not a crazy man, but my reality is different from yours.” The power and truth of that statement has stuck with Cyrus since that day, he says.

Since returning to the United States, the Youth Committee members have kept in touch with their new friends in Jordan through What’s App and with events designed to raise awareness about the ongoing humanitarian crisis. Sophie’s documentary about the experience, Cyrus’s poem, and Zayd’s article can be viewed at sidwell.edu/turquoise.

LEAD IN THE LIGHT: STRATEGIC ACTION PLAN SET TO BEGIN On June 12, more than 100 members of the Sidwell Friends community gathered for a full-day summit to work through implementation plans for Lead in the Light: Empowering Our Students to Let Their Lives Speak, the strategic plan introduced last October.

Current and former Board of Trustees members, alumni of all ages, parents, students, faculty, and staff worked together to envision the School 20 years from now—and the practical steps needed to reach that point. The clear consensus from the day: Being a world-class educational institution devoted to Quaker values is how to create that future.

Based on the feedback gathered from the summit and the work of ongoing faculty and staff committees, the School prepared an action plan to support the four strategic priorities: Unify Our Campus, Imagine the Future of Learning, Inspire Ethical Leadership, and Welcome a Wider Community. The board approved the strategic action plan at their fall meeting.

“This is a major milestone for Sidwell Friends,” said Head of School Bryan Garman. “The steps we take today will shape the future of our School. We are firmly committed to strengthening our community and advancing a culture of caring, collaboration, creativity, risk-taking, and intellectual engagement for the benefit of all students. I am grateful to the many dedicated faculty and staff members who are playing their part in making this plan a reality—as well as to the many alumni and parents who share our passion for the School. Their ongoing belief that we can make a difference is what makes Sidwell Friends an incredible place to be.”

A Tribute to Georgia Kennedy Irvin (1932–2018)

by Helen Austern Colson ’53

Georgia Irvin, who led the Sidwell Friends Admissions and Financial Aid

Offi from 1969 to 1984, was a passionate advocate for children who were not receiving the education she felt they deserved. During her 15 years at the School, and thereafter as an educational consultant and author, she had a national reputation for professionalism and creativity. She was a frequent speaker on admissions topics and a recipient of the prestigious William B. Bretnall Award from the Secondary School Admission Test Board.

Georgia changed the lives of thousands of students; many remain grateful to her today. She persuaded Sidwell Friends to admit increasing numbers of less-privileged students, and she never forgot them once they arrived.

She reached out to their teachers to check on their progress, and she invited students who might fall behind to do their homework at a small student desk in the Admissions Offic After Georgia left Sidwell Friends, she founded Georgia K. Irvin and Associates, where she provided compassionate consulting and advocacy for families in Washington and well beyond who were trying to fin the right school for their children. Sometimes these were children with special needs. To serve them, Georgia learned about and visited boarding schools throughout the country that successfully help those with addiction and other issues.

She followed many of the students she placed at these schools until they were adults, and she rejoiced in their eventual successes.

There also were children whom very few knew about and for whom Georgia was a personal philanthropist, underwriting their high school and college educations because, she said, “There is nobody else to do it.”

And finall there were her own children and grandchildren, whom she called “the precious ones” and who brought her great joy: Stuart Irvin ’80, Kate Irvin ’81, Molly Irvin ’16, Elizabeth Irvin ’19, and Isabelle Irvin ’24. During the last few decades, she relished the opportunity to drive her grandchildren to their activities.

Lower School and Middle School Grandparents Days were a priority.

Her family continues its active support of the School today: Daughter-in-law Carrie Irvin is co-clerk of the Parents Association.

Friends who were attracted by Georgia’s patient nature and soft Southern accent were often surprised to learn about her fierc efforts to figh the racial prejudices she encountered during her childhood in South Carolina. She spent decades as an active trustee of the Black Student Fund. And was that really gentle Georgia Irvin in a newspaper photo being arrested for protesting apartheid in front of the South African Embassy?

Her ability to make lifetime friends was unusual: Sidwell friends, friends at the Episcopal churches her husband served, neighbors, and others whom she met wherever she went, be it

And was that really gentle Georgia Irvin in a newspaper photo being arrested for protesting apartheid in front of the South African Embassy? the polling booth, an airport, or the grocery store. In 1978, on the day that I began work at Sidwell Friends, she sent me flower with a note that said, “I know that we will be the best of friends.” And we were. She liked to tell her friends, “I am the person you call when you are having an appendicitis attack in the middle of the night.”

During her last year, Georgia’s caregivers also became her friends.

She learned about their children, and her fina philanthropy was to help those children fulfil their educational potential.

Helen Colson ’53 led the development program at Sidwell Friends between 1978 and 1990. She was acting Head of School in 1987 and served eight years as a trustee.

Upper Schoolers traveled to the Bahamas to explore marine environments with the help of robots.

ALUMNI MAGAZINE

 FALL 2018 13

WHEN NINE OF MY CLASSMATES and I touched down in Rock Sound, Bahamas on a June afternoon after hours of travel-related hassles, our first thought was how hot it was! But the blazing sun couldn’t diminish our excitement. For many of us, this trip would be our first time in the Bahamas, and we knew how lucky we were to be part of the new Sidwell Friends Marine Ecology and Underwater Robotics trip.

We traveled by bus to the Island School campus on the southern tip of Eleuthera Island, marveling at the clear water to our right and noting the poverty in the settlements to our left, where stray dogs roamed. The island is home to many of these dogs, known as “pot-cakes,” after the pots of leftover rice Bahamians leave outside for them.

Our home for the week, the Island School, hosts semester-long study abroad programs for students interested in marine science and includes a research institution called the Cape Eleuthera Institute (CEI). All the buildings on the Island School/CEI campus were built using energy- and waste-saving design techniques. Some buildings include outside planking made of old tires, insulation made of used denim, or water-saving toilets, just to name a few sustainable features.

Water conservation in particular is a major concern of the Island School and CEI, especially because on an island, fresh water is precious. The only fresh water on campus is rainwater, and if campus residents regularly use more than their allotted amount of it, they must start showering with ocean water.

Upon arriving we were shown to our dorms—two buildings on either side of a common room—and then taken to the dining hall for dinner. All meals included dish-crew meal cleanup duty for two rotating members of every group on campus, and the meals 14

themselves always featured hearty vegetarian and meat options. We especially enjoyed having boiled eggs at every breakfast, as well as locally sourced bacon (and by locally sourced, I mean the pigs raised on campus). After our first dinner we gathered in the common room for a short orientation and eventually went to sleep after much late-night dorm chatter.

Besides our consistent meal and chore times, every day we spent on Eleuthera was different. After our initial swim test and tour of the campus’ sustainable design features, our robotics and marine science activities kicked into full gear. By the afternoon of our first full day on the island, we were designing and constructing robots in two groups captained by tech-savvy members of Sidwell’s robotics team. Our chaperones, Upper School teachers Emily Boyer and Darby Thompson, continually tried and failed to convince us that the robot building was not a competition.

Robots built for underwater use are best constructed out of pieces of PVC pipe held together with screws. Their buoyancy can be adjusted by attaching plastic water bottles to the pipe and changing the amount of water in the bottles. We spent many sweaty hours of trial-and-error in our common room and finally tested our robots in the dark at the boathouse, with at least partial success for both teams.

Our early mornings on Eleuthera (we rose at 6:00 a.m.) were spent in many memorable ways. One morning we took a boat out to a sandbar to watch the sun rise over the turquoise water. Snorkels in place, we explored small colonies of marine life in the shallow ALUMNI MAGAZINE

waters of the sandbar. I was lucky enough to find a starfish, and we all took turns watching the animal suction itself onto our hands. Another morning we jumped off a small cliff into the ocean while our friends cheered for us. On another occasion we took part in a grueling run-swim, where we sprinted over land and swam across inlets, with some sit-ups thrown in. Luckily, on our last morning on the island, we were allowed to sleep in.

In our afternoon activity blocks, we filmed shark feedings, measured sea turtles, snorkeled over coral reefs, and explored mangrove forests. We put our robots in the care of our program director, Charlie, who drove them to a local marina while we biked behind her. Bahamian fishermen gut their fish at the marina every day in the afternoon, and nurse sharks have now learned to feed there.

So while a fisherman threw chum into the water, we lowered our robots into the marina and steered them toward the beautiful gray creatures. One person on each team was in charge of steering the robot while another watched the live camera feed and gave them directions. We had more than one mishap involving broken propellers and loose wires, but all in all we came away with some incredible footage of nurse sharks and other fish as they fought for food, swam gracefully by, or attacked our cameras.

Participants from the other programs on the island, both teenagers and adults, were always excited to hear about our robots. I think watching adults point to our creations and yell, “What you guys are doing is so cool!” really instilled some pride in our group.

Assisting researchers on the island was also a highlight of the trip, whether we were catching sea turtles—known as “turtling”—for scientists to measure or filming animals near marine biologists’ fish aggregation devices, or FADs. We were in awe of what these researchers get to do on a daily basis, even if we didn’t envy their constant state of sunburn and being covered in sea salt.

Even months later, our minds are still struggling to wrap around what an incredible privilege it is to have the experiences we did. For many of us, this trip provided our first chance to scuba dive or dissect a fish. We experienced new challenges, like adjusting the buoyancy of a robot while keeping afloat in the open ocean or taking one-minute showers (it’s harder than it sounds!). And of course we witnessed firsthand the beauty of the island—and the coral bleaching and invasive species that threaten it.

There is nothing quite like seeing a massive lobster on the ocean floor or floating above a blue hole thousands of feet deep. We left Eleuthera in awe of our planet and with even more reason to advocate for its protection.

The students traveled as part of the Marine Ecology and Underwater Robotics in the Bahamas program. Their goal was to explore different marine ecosystems, learn from researchers while doing real field research, and deploy their own underwater robots.

fond farewells A Farewell to Ed

By Aaron Brophy, Director of Art Exhibitions, Daryl Reich Rubenstein Gallery Ed Crow is one man in his time who played many parts. For over half a century, he shepherded the Sidwell art program in a variety of ways: as the chair of the arts department, as a theatrical director, as a visual art teacher, as an English teacher, and as a friend to many.

The firs time I met Ed Crow, about two years ago, he was sitting on a barstool at Café Deluxe. We were introduced by Sidwell colleagues, and I have been intoxicated by his legend ever since. His personality is what lured me at firs , but over time it was the third-person tributes to Ed that kept me coming back for more. I heard mysterious stories of past summers spent in Europe touring with a band. I saw surreal musings on cocktail napkins that evolved into theatrical productions. I was shown rolls and rolls of his copious architectural renderings, and finall someone suggested that I feature his work in the art gallery.

I have since learned that Ed’s introduction to theater came at the hands of the carnies traveling through North Carolina.

One of his firs jobs was to raise the Ferris wheels for the circus. Ed is also an accomplished musician and drummer who earned his chops playing jazz gigs in Europe. As a young man, Ed served in the Navy before settling in Washington, DC and rediscovering his passion for theater as a profession. For a period of time he directed theater at St. Alban’s, National Cathedral School, and Sidwell Friends, while also earning his master’s degree from Catholic University.

For 54 years Ed graced our school with his creativity and his artistic vision. Generations of students have benefi ted from his wisdom, while colleagues have enjoyed his mentorship.

His passion for theater is fueled by a breadth of talents.

Through music, with a paintbrush, and on the stage, Ed Crow

is a modern day renaissance man. His quiet presence has been a steady hand guiding the performing and visual arts program at Sidwell Friends School for decades. In addition to his knack for stage direction, Ed used to teach visual art classes as well.

His deft touch has been evidenced by the numerous sketches, watercolors, and designs he created while producing plays for two generations of theater students.

Did I forget to mention that Ed also taught Shakespeare? I heard a story about students entranced by Ed’s ephemeral chalk drawings, which he rendered on the blackboard while lecturing about the Bard’s scenes. One might say that Ed Crow is just too much of a good thing.

At a Friends school, it would not be out of the ordinary to eschew acknowledgement of the accomplishments of our colleagues. It is my hope in this case we have consensus that fiv decades of commitment to the arts at Sidwell is worthy of a modicum of adulation. Please don’t let the slow shuffli of his footsteps or his quiet languid cadence fool you. Ed Crow still has much on his mind, and he has even more to say.

Sometimes the most important job of the fourth wall is simply to sit quietly, to listen, and to behold. Enjoy the show.

Thank you to the Sidwell Friends community for raising more than $17,000 in honor of Ed to support the theater arts program. See photos from his retirement celebration and a special tribute video to Ed at sidwell.edu/EdCrowCelebration.

A Tribute to Asma Rahman

By Cynthia Sealls

For more than 25 years, Asma’s was the face anyone saw the firs time they encountered Sidwell Friends School. As the receptionist at Zartman House, she greeted everyone and made them feel immediately at home and at ease. Two years ago, she took her calming spirit to the front desk of the Middle School and spent the last of her tenure helping students, teachers, and parents navigate their days. Thank you, Asma, for the many warm welcomes.

For 27 years Asma Rahman was the receptionist in Zartman House and then in the Middle School for 2 years. When Zartman served as the main entry point to the entire school, Asma’s warm smile, calm manner, and welcoming presence greeted all visitors to the Washington, DC campus. For parents, alumni, vendors, college representatives, and people just stopping by, Asma was the face of Sidwell.

One of her most notable traits was her reliability—which is incredibly important when you are the receptionist. Asma never seemed to take a day off If she was ever away for any reason, people would ask nervously, “Where is Asma?” Fall, winter, spring, summer—you could count on her quiet help.

Her other notable trait was that she knew everything about the School and was extremely patient and totally unflappable She gave great directions to get anywhere on the campus and kept abreast of any activities so that she could help people figur out where they needed to be. Her knowledge of who did what and where and why was a great help to many confused visitors.

Also, things could get pretty loud and busy in the lobby of Zartman House, but Asma’s quiet, patient, and low-key demeanor was consistently on display.

Many times, her calming presence helped to allay the fears of more than a few students who sheepishly (and sometimes tearfully) entered Zartman House noting that they had not been picked up yet and wondering if they could call their

parents. She would reassure them that their parents would come to pick them up soon and that they could have a seat in the Drawing Room or the lobby to wait.

Asma loved to talk with anyone and everyone she met. She was usually working her way through a book and was always happy to tell you how much or how little she was enjoying it. She was also very knowledgeable about healthy foods and natural medicines and liked to share that knowledge with anyone who was interested.

Asma grew up in New York City and graduated from Washington State University in Pullman, Washington. In spite of the impression that she was a constant presence at Sidwell, she managed to travel all over the United States and through other countries as well. She has spent time in Colorado, Utah, Oregon, Wyoming, Montana, Iowa, California, Illinois, Canada, and all along the Eastern seaboard. Her love of traveling has also taken her to France, Ghana, Jamaica, Barbados, Mexico, Puerto Rico, Tortola, and St. Thomas, where she lived for two years.

I’m hoping that Asma’s retirement gives her plenty of time to read, exercise, travel, go to the beach, and spend lots of time with her family and spiritual community. She deserves a long, healthy, happy retirement for a job well done! We will miss her.

A TRIBUTE TO ED CROW

BY BRIAN McKAIG ’85

After 54 years of service to Sidwell Friends, Ed Crow announced his retirement in June 2018. This October, we had a chance to celebrate his career. For more than half a century, Ed embodied the most important value that students learn at Sidwell Friends: to let their lives speak. As chair of the arts department, theatrical director, visual arts teacher, and English teacher, Ed empowered so many in the Sidwell Friends community to find their voices and develop unique, creative modes of self-expression.

In that spirit, one of his former students has prepared a photo essay to honor Ed and his legacy to the School.

Last spring Ana Gasteyer ’85 invited me to join her for a fun farewell at Ed’s last faculty meeting.

Ana played the violin and sang the great Rosemary Clooney song “Baby the Ball Is Over.” I played slide whistle and told some jokes. Bill Strathmann ’85 snuck in the back of the meeting to share the surprise.

Apparently, it was the best faculty meeting in Ed’s 54 years! Who knew?

After the meeting, I thought it would be fun to re-create my graduation picture with Ed. We are behind Zartman House, and our mischievous smiles assure you that we are crushing life in 1985!

Thirty-three years later and we are still smiling! Now we can share some hard-earned wisdom: I enjoy a spread collar instead of a button-down. Ed eschews coats and ties in favor of chambray shirts over navy-blue Lacoste shirts with collars flipped up. Take notes, everyone!

Side note: This picture was taken in the same spot (in front of the old gym) where, in 7th grade, I witnessed Ed (wearing the same navy-blue Lacoste shirt but this time sporting a beard) painting a huge piece of flat canvas scenery with the help of a brush duct taped to the end of a five-foot-long wooden pole. I was mesmerized.

Other fun facts that captivated us about Ed: His wife, Anne, was a professional actress. They had an apartment in New York City. They traveled to Edinburgh, Scotland, every summer to check out the art and jazz festivals. These are otherworldly people!

This is a program that Ed and Anne created for our production of Scapino!, a zany adaptation of Moliere’s Les Fourberies de Scapin. Ed told me he and Anne shared a bottle of wine one night to create authentic stains on the fake Italian menu. I thought that was pretty cool.

This is a term paper I wrote for Ed’s 20th-Century American Literature class. I misspelled Farewell to Arms on the title page, and it just went downhill from there. I still remember Ed sitting me down on the front steps of the Upper School and slogging through those paragraphs as my writing got worse and worse and worse. I was so embarrassed. But I still treasure the memory … and the paper!

At the faculty meeting, I got to read the last monologue from The Dining Room, a play by A.R. Gurney that is a favorite of Ed’s. This is the cast picture of our 1980s production.

Lately I’ve been having this recurrent dream. We’re giving this perfect party. We have our dining room back, and Grandmother’s silver, before it was stolen, and Charley’s mother’s royal blue dinner plates, before the movers dropped them, and even the finger bowls, if I knew where they were. And I’ve invited all our favorite people. Oh, I don’t mean just our old friends. I mean everyone we’ve ever known and liked. We’d have the man who fixes our Toyota, and that intelligent young couple who bought the Payton house, and the receptionist at the doctor’s office, and the new teller at the bank. And our children would be invited, too. And they’d all come back from whenever they are. And we’d have two cocktails and hot hors d’oeuvres, and everyone would get along famously! My husband laughs when I tell him this dream. “Do you realize,” he says, “what a party like that would cost? Do you realize what we’d have to pay these days for a party like that?”

Well, I know. I know all that. But sometimes I think it might almost be worth it.

THANK YOU, ED, FOR EVERYTHING! ALUMNI MAGAZINE

Ken LeSure ’65

Todd Parnell ’65

Philip “Flip” Todd ’65

Ken LeSure ’65, Todd Parnell ’65, and Philip “Flip” Todd ’65 believe in the power of the written word—and want to make publishing more accessible to their friends and fellow alumni.

Where did the idea for Friends of Friends Press come from?

Todd: Ken is a real writer, and I’m a late comer after two retirements, seeking to avoid boredom! We shared a frustration about the difficul of working with, or even getting access to, quality publishers, and lo and behold found one in our very midst, Class of ’65, Flip Todd! I visited Flip over a decade ago in Anchorage to pick his brain about how to start a publishing business. Thankfully, he dissuaded me from even trying!

Ken: Any suggestion that Todd is not a real writer is completely wrong. His fictio is great tale-telling and his environmental nonfictio is important.

Prior to our 50th class reunion in 2015, I had read Todd’s The Buffalo Ben, and Me following a suggestion by fellow classmate Steve Page. As I recall, soon thereafter Todd and I began an ongoing email discussion of our “new” writing aspirations. Before settling into parenthood and my 30-year career as a psychology professor, I had written an unpublished novel and was frustrated by the difficul of findin a publisher or an audience. When I retired from academic life in 2010, I decided to rekindle my inner Melville. I have

› ALUMNI ACTION

discovered that, even with the advent of digital media and ebooks, findin an audience or market for one’s jottings, especially fictio , remains difficu and daunting.

Flip: Todd Parnell gets 100 percent of the credit for it. He e-mailed Ken and me and explained his self-described “crazy idea,” and Ken and I fell for it immediately. Anything to help out a Friend, right?

How did you reconnect and decide to work together?

Todd: We three reconnected at our 50th class reunion on campus in 2015, and soon were discussing shared interests.

I agreed to be a guinea pig and walk through publishing a nonfictio manuscript gathering dust on a shelf with Flip and Todd Communications.

Thus, Trails of the Heart, Along the Buffal River was born! I was so impressed with the quality of his work and ease of collaboration that I became fully supportive of the three of us trying to offer a service.

Ken: My recollection of the order of events is a bit hazy, but when we agreed by email exchanges to move forward, I volunteered to draft a business proposal. Unlike Todd as a retired banker and Flip as a still-working publisher, I have no formal business background, so their expertise in developing our plan was essential.

What have been some favorite books or projects?

Flip: Todd Communications has either published or assisted authors, photographers, and fin artists to produce a pretty wide range of books including gardening, children’s, and World War II history, and our specialty— books about Alaska. A few years ago we took on our biggest project, which was a large hardcover book with loads of color photos for Alaska Airlines’ 80th anniversary. They gave it to thousands of employees, suppliers, customers, and friends of the company.

Ken: In recent years I’ve written a short parody, A Gospel According to Bubba; a novella, Spaceland; and a play, The Package, which was performed at the New York Theater Festival in July 2018. I also have a blog, In Too Deep, on my web page, kenlesure.com.

Todd: My just-released novel, Pig Farm, would come to mind for me. It is a fictiona account of a real-life environmental tragedy unfolding on America’s firs national river, the Buffal River in northwestern Arkansas. The Buffal is an exceptional treasure where my lineage dates back eight generations, so it is a very personal battle for me. You can fin more about it on my website, toddparnell.com, if interested.

The publishing industry is suffering these days. Why did you decide to enter it?

Flip: Reports of the death of book publishing are greatly exaggerated, not to too egregiously paraphrase Samuel Clemens. There are still more than a half million book copyright registrations file with the Library of Congress each year. Can you name any other product in the American marketplace that introduces that many new unique products to the marketplace? It’s not music, movies, or television shows, and probably not anything else including shoes, handbags, or nuts and bolts. So stick with us as we continue producing America’s favorite mode of education and entertainment.

Todd: It seemed like there might be a niche we could fill with Friends of Friends Press, honor our alma mater, and be of service to our classmates and colleagues. It is definitely a notfor-profit endeavor!

Ken: I agree with Flip and Todd on the state of the publishing industry, but there’s no doubt that electronic media are here to stay. Ultimately, digital materials cannot survive without electric power, no matter where it may come from in the future, whereas paper documents can last indefinitel , if stored properly. Fortunately, Friends of Friends Press can publish both analog and digital books.

Sydnee Lubar, a photographer, scoliosis patient, and Sidwell Friends senior has published her firs book, SPINES: The Art of Scoliosis. The book features dramatic black-and-white images and stories of 28 girls and women, ages 6–77, who suffer from scoliosis, an abnormal curvature of the spine. The focus of the project, says Sydnee, is to share the individual stories and encourage selfconfidenc in others with the condition.

“SPINES is inspired by my scoliosis journey and the experiences that come with wearing a brace,” says Sydnee in the book’s introduction. She was diagnosed with the condition at age 12, the day before her bat mitzvah, and for years wore a brace 22 hours a day. “Through my passion for photography, I hope to inspire young girls with scoliosis. The battle is hard, but you are not alone.”

ANDREW L. YARROW ’75 Man Out: Men on the Sidelines of American Life Brookings Institution Press, 2018

Andrew L. Yarrow’s fift book, Man Out: Men on the Sidelines of American Life, a study of the many types of often-ignored struggles of tens of millions of American men, was published in September 2018. Andrew, a senior fellow at the Progressive Policy Institute, has been a New York Times reporter, a Labor Department speechwriter, and a US history professor at American University, and has been affiliat with the Brookings Institution and the Aspen Institute.

“I’ve long cared about and focused on people who are not doing well, economically, socially, politically, and psychologically. Most people don’t think that men, at least white men, are struggling. While some are aware of the ‘boy problem’ (doing less well in school) and men’s declining labor force participation, I’ve heard from many middle-aged men that they lost once-good jobs, many millennials that they can’t fin or don’t want jobs, and many formerly incarcerated men that they have been shut out of the job market,” says Andrew.

JOHN F. ROSS ’77 The Promise of the Grand Canyon: John Wesley Powell’s Perilous Journey and His Vision for the American West Viking, 2018

John Ross, formerly the executive editor of American Heritage magazine, has written a new biography of John Wesley Powell that enriches Wallace Stegner’s earlier portrait of the Colorado River and Grand Canyon explorer with many new dimensions. In The Promise of the Grand Canyon, John recounts how Powell, after his perilous three-month expedition through the Grand Canyon, went on to survive Washington bureaucracy as he served 13 years as director of the US Geological Survey. During this time the Washington bureaucrat with a restless mind joined with Henry Adams to form the Cosmos Club. John rounds out his tale of this colorful, dedicated scientist/ adventurer/visionary with an important chapter in the development of the American West: Powell’s success, by the sheer force of his character, in educating Washington legislators about the absolute need for irrigation in the West.

From the Clerk of the Alumni Association: ALI MOHAMADI ’94 Dear Friends, As we enter this season of reflectio , I am reminded of the bonds built during my years at Sidwell Friends and how grateful I am for how powerfully they have endured. Through all our modern modes of communication, it is easier than ever to stay connected, and I fin these regular touchpoints to be calming, sustaining, and uplifting.

Similarly, Sidwell Friends connects with its alums through a variety of means, including online surveys and in-person focus groups. Earlier this year, the Alumni Offi distributed one such survey and convened a number of focus groups, seeking to better understand our thoughts on a number of key categories that tie into the School’s strategic plan. This included questions about our current thinking on giving to the School, which is also highlighted in the Annual Report of Philanthropy found in this edition of the Alumni Magazine.

Among the most interesting finding were that 42 percent of respondents believe the School is “adequately funded” or “over-funded,” which focus groups saw as a roadblock to giving. Only 20 percent of survey respondents felt the School “does not have enough” funding. And interestingly, 39 percent of surveyed alumni state they “don’t know enough” about the state of the School’s finances representing a key communications gap to address. The results also identifie a number of areas alumni are seeking to learn more about, including details on Sidwell Friends’ overall finan cial state and its ongoing needs to support students.

As a result of this information, the Alumni Offi and Alumni Association Executive Board are working together to develop and implement programs to fil the gaps you have identifie , and we will report on our progress in the coming months. Your continued engagement helps ensure Sidwell Friends maintains the same vision and ethos it carried during your days on campus, and more importantly, it ensures that current and future generations will have the same wonderful experience we all did.

Happy holidays and here’s to a safe and prosperous New Year ahead.

REUNION RECAP

By Craig Morgan We had great attendance—25 classmates altogether—for an international affai , including Joan Friedman Seymour with

daughter Lisa all the way from Adelaide, Joan Barbeau Calvo with daughter Ellie all the way from Mexico City, and Bob and Mary Myers all the way from Auckland. The Road Warrior prize goes to Thatcher Morse, who drove straight through from Gainesville, Florida, on the day the reunion was to start.

Our reunion had two highlights. The firs was the Senior Shack Redux. Remembering fondly the days when we hung out in the erstwhile Senior Shack to ponder the meaning of it all, we got together Saturday morning to do the same in one of the high school classrooms. It would be hard to have a greater contrast in setting, but that did not stop us. However, there was also a contrast in topic. This time we got heavily into end-of-life issues, drawing on Peggy Pabst Battin’s wisdom, this being her foremost area of research at the University of Utah.

The second highlight was of course the Saturday night party at the home of Dolly Bowman Tucker and her husband, Gene.

Great fun was had further catching up with each other’s lives, especially for the few who could not make it to the earlier activities.

We also remembered yet more about our SFS years. It speaks to the bond between us that the zillion emails we exchanged over the previous 15 months were just a warmup for the full-bandwidth experience. (On the web, a non-SFS blogger complained, “Facebook killed my reunion!”—meaning that, with so much communication before the event, classmates had nothing left to say. But for us, the opposite.)

At the party, we also set aside time for a solemn remembrance—Helene Rosenfeld Feldman read off names of the 13 classmates no longer with us, followed by silence. As Helene then added, let us hope this list does not grow for a long, long time. We all look forward to our 65th.

After the reunion, we learned about the passing of another classmate, Howard B. “Bart” Myers. Bart went from Sidwell to Amherst College for his bachelor’s degree and then to the University of Michigan, where by 1968 he completed all but a dissertation for a doctorate in economics. After Michigan, he taught at Rutgers for eight years and at La Salle in Philadelphia for four and then transitioned to being a personal computer dealer and freelance programmer.

It was at Michigan that he started to live a double life. He rode a motorcycle for the firs time in 1964 and discovered he had an insane talent for racing. Within fiv years, he dominated amateur racing and then gained national ranking when he challenged the pros, holding his own as a tight-budget privateer against factory teams riding superior bikes.

Racing was interleaved with teaching, Bart quietly leaving town right after his last Friday class, driving overnight to a far-flun race course, and catching some early morning sleep in his truck before rolling his machine onto the track. Unfortunately, his racing days were ended in 1976 by a serious concussion.

But for all the daring adventure, Bart will be remembered most for his gentle manner and quiet wit. To the very end, he charmed everyone he met.

Clark Griffi : Carter Wilson and I connect on Instagram with our flowers and I follow Toni Oliviero on Facebook and encourage all classmates to send friend requests around the class, so that we can connect more fully. Finally, I spoke with Jane Shields a few months ago at her residence in Maine. She sounded wonderful.

This small island is as close to heaven as one could be … the birds sing louder, the breezes are fresher, and the sunrises and sunsets more beautiful. (For visuals and confirmatio , visit my website, judycaldwell.com.) A Quaker meeting each Sunday in the library has been part of the island for decades.

Re-entry to city life is only cushioned by babysitting my four grandchildren. However, I am challenged by having to bring my baseball skills to match those of my five year-old’s. Just last week we practiced in Rittenhouse Square Park for fiv hours.

The score was 6-22 and 2-23 … ouch!

I’m working up to a solo show in Philly in November, where most of the pieces will be from my stay on Monhegan. Next April, I will try to move past my fear of public speaking to give a talk and demonstration of my art to the Vero Beach Art Club. Even Sidwell couldn’t prepare me well enough for this.

Bud Davis: Pine Key dust. Secret to long life. Garlic, cumin. Homegrown peppers.

Peter Enemark: Our class has decided that we need a logo. Thanks to Tracy Mullin Moroney, we have one. It’s a “Beware of Elderly People in the Crosswalk” sign (pictured above).

Jeff Fletcher: Tara and I traveled this summer.

We did a cruise on the Mediterranean, starting in Barcelona and with wonderful stops in Florence, Venice, Dubrovnik, and Split—all places on our list for a return visit someday.

We did our annual visit to Key West, which always features parasailing, kayaking, biking, a lunch with Bud Davis at Stock Island’s Hogfis Grill, and lots of reading and lounging by the pool. We spent a week in southwestern Pennsylvania with friends, where Tara did a week of intensive watercolor painting while I explored the Flight 93 memorial and the region’s Frank Lloyd Wright attractions.

politically involved. It’s new to me, but I’ll see; I fin it fascinating! I still greatly enjoy music and involvement with musicians, and I currently practice that passion by being an active board member of an area chamber music group and regularly attending Philadelphia Orchestra concerts.

Jill Robinson Grubb: I remember playing Scrabble with Bud Davis in the senior lounge, seeing Mickey in his souped-up vehicle in the alley next to my window, and wanting to be part of the class. I am hard at work canvassing for my Democratic candidate for US House of Representatives [sic] in a very red district. I am loving listening to East of Eden in my car.

1962 Helen Hawes ’62’s collaborative painting

We’ll travel again soon to Denver to see friends of more than 45 years and then to Florida to visit friends from Great Britain who we met in Key West 30 years ago and have stayed close to—so close that we were “surprise” guests at their wedding reception in England a decade ago, causing quite a disruption.

Otherwise, life is fille with grandchildren, nonprofi and neighborhood volunteer activities and boards, and work to change the political dynamic in Washington. As Helen Hawes so aptly put it, letting go is now a daily practice; I am trying to pick up some new and fresh activities as the journey progresses.

Ellen Gay: Yes, I have “Trump Anxiety Disorder” and am working hard to overcome underlying causes! My husband, Gary, and I are very involved with “Indivisible Highlands and Beyond,” a local group of 125 trying (at this point) to swing Congress left in order to level off the Trump influence We’ve been registering voters, canvassing for various candidates, demonstrating, rallying, whatever.

We’re hoping that, with the zillion other hardworking souls, we’ll have some influence We added a grandson, Theo, to the grandchild roster in July. Along with his sister, Aurelia, age 3 1/2, he lives with their parents (my son, Alec Johnson, and his wife, Livia RurarzHuygens) in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, so we don’t see them every day. My other son, Reid, and his wife, Jee, live in Austin, Texas.

Helen Hawes: Each year that passes we become more precious. We carry so much with us: the wisdom, the experiences, the suffering, the joy, the beloved grandchildren, the gardens, the artwork, being called into action or prayer, stewardship of land and animals. ...

Here are some thoughts on being in my 70s!

I feel strange walking down the street, one of the grey-haired legions closer each step to infinit . At home, when I replace my old smoke alarms, I write down the date I will need new ones, 2028. Will I be around? Saying goodbye, letting go, becomes a daily practice. I am playing with letting go of fear and trusting that something brand new will follow.

My passion now is collaborative painting (see above), all of us joined in a common goal. Taking turns around the table is riveting. A swash of paint covers an earlier round, one I had plans for. A whole new landscape take shape. Over and over, making plans, letting go, discovering the new. Finally I get it. The planning stops and there is just endless discovery.

On my good days, that is what being in my 70s is about. On my bad days, I fret about the smoke alarms.

Ellie Duffe Hayward: We have one grandson applying to college this year. Time sure flies Last year we took our kids and grandkids on a cruise to Bermuda in anticipation of our 50th anniversary. In October 2017 on my way from Minnesota to Sanibel, I stopped to visit Pat Harrell Burk outside Cincinnati. We had a great time catching up and sharing memories.

Ed is finall planning to join me in retirement at the end of the year, which means more shared time in Florida. Despite a few health challenges, we’re just happy to still be around enjoying our old age.

My hobbies include reading for two book clubs, needlework, visiting friends, and serving as a “shell ambassador” to share knowledge with Sanibel visitors. Sanibel, Florida, is known for beaches fille with shells that wash ashore from the Gulf of Mexico. Oh, and I’m writing a memoir for my kids and grandkids and trying not to make it too boring or too revealing.

Art Hill: As I write this, Sherry and I are refugees, staying in Raleigh with Sherry’s sainted brother and sister-in-law. We’re waiting for the ravages of Hurricane Florence to subside so we can go home. (What do they say about houseguests and dead fish?

We’re fortunate that we had a safe place to go. Still, it’s unsettling to know that your home is in harm’s way. We’ve seen some photos of our neighborhood, though, and the damage looks minimal.

As Sherry and I were walking into one of our favorite restaurants in Wilmington with friends from college a few months ago, I saw two familiar faces—Erik and Rhonda Thorson—seated nearby. What are the chances of enjoying the same evening with good friends from high school and college?

Spending time in Raleigh gave us the chance to see our younger son, Nicholas, and his family (Lex and one-year-old Errol). They moved here from Chicago in April, and they’ll be moving into their newly built home soon. In the meantime, Sherry and I are spending a lot of time trying to keep up with Errol. If only we could persuade our older son and his family, including Stacy and their four-year-old, Ada, to move east!

Maria Malagon: On my visit to Spain this year, we celebrated my aunt’s 103rd birthday!

Until three years ago she lived alone, but now someone stays with her and helps out. On our daily walks, my aunt and I had lively discussions. According to her, the secret to longevity is wine with meals and a positive attitude. I have taken this to heart!

After I returned, some cousins came to visit me. We did the usual tourist things but also picked peaches, went to a fair, visited Frederick and Annapolis, ate crabs, etc.

They were in awe of how big things are here and that “it’s like in the movies.”

I am very fortunate to have my three granddaughters living near me. Elena and Isabel are 14 years old, and Elli is 11. Isabel and Elli went to Italy with their mother (my daughter) for a few weeks this summer, and

The CLASS OF 1963 celebrates at the class party during Reunion Weekend 2018.

Elena attended the Terp Young Scholars program at the University of Maryland.

I continue volunteering with Hero Dogs and doing therapy work with my two dogs. Scotty and I visit patients at George Washington University Hospital and go to retirement communities and rehab facilities. Sammie goes to schools and is adored by all the children who read to her.

Marcia Rosenberg Pruzan: Jerry is working as hard as ever—still a docent at both the Library of Congress and the Supreme Court. He also mentors elementary school kids in reading and teaches bridge at Montgomery College!

And yes, I’m still working on age-related issues for both the Montgomery County government and the National Institute on Aging at NIH. I’m still enjoying what I do, so I have no current plans to stop working.

Jerry and I celebrated our 50th anniversary last April—our kids threw us a wonderful surprise party; Jan Bernhard Phalen, one of our bridesmaids so many years ago, was there to help us celebrate. We then took a lovely two-week cruise that went all around the British Isles and on to Amsterdam and Bruges.

We’re in New Jersey as I write this—spending time with all our kids and the three grandkids.

We’ll take the two younger ones—our two grandsons—to see Lion King in New York.

Erik Thorson: Rhonda and I spent a week in July in Rhode Island with my sister, Louise

Thorson ’67, and her husband, Harry. (They were, of course, saints to invite us for a week; see Arthur Hill’s note about fis and houseguests.) We walked on the beach and collected shells and pebbles for Rhonda to use in her new preschool class, went sightseeing, and had some wonderful meals.

1963

Much of the summer was consumed with Rhonda getting ready for the little kids in her public Montessori school. She had been out of the classroom for seven or eight years, teaching specials like computers. The firs thing Rhonda said after the firs day of school was, “Those babies kicked my butt!” She’s said that many evenings since, but there are also days that go well, and she thinks it will turn out to be as much fun as she thought it would.

I continue to stand in for Nashville’s fines high school teachers as a substitute, doing my best to bring order to chaos and light to darkness—with varying success.

Judy Markley Wastler: I hope this note find everyone unscathed by Florence. She really took the cake! I was heading from Atlanta— now home—to Baltimore and kept waiting for Crew Scheduling to call me, but my phone never rang! So we went, with only a few minor bumps in the sky. One of the many things I love about my job: If you think it will happen, it doesn’t, and if you think it won’t, it will!

My husband recently bought his own truck and drives over the road. His right-hand man is Breckenstein, (aka Breck or Bubba), our one-year-old golden retriever. We plan our times at home together, and it works. We have yet to lay over in the same city at the same time, but we’ve crossed paths several times.

(I know I must have flow over him at least once!) He worries about me; he’s not crazy about flyin since he’s a mechanic and “knows what can go wrong.” And I worry about him, since I certainly have the statistics on my side.

I’m reading Anne of Green Gables now for the firs time. She is such a Pollyanna, and it is a refreshing, non-deep read if it’s time for something like that. A Gentleman in Moscow is still on my list.

REUNION RECAP The Class of 1963 celebrated our 55th Reunion in style and enjoyed every minute while also missing those who couldn’t be there. Classmates came from Northern and Southern California, Chicago, and all over the East Coast.

The fun started with the Friday night SFS reception, where we greeted each other as if no time had passed at all. After the reception we reconvened at Restaurant Barcelona to enjoy delicious tapas, sangria, and conversation. Several classmates who hadn’t been at the reception joined us as well for a great evening of stories and reminiscences.

We all met up again on Saturday on campus for activities and lunch with alumni spanning many years. We wondered if the Class of 1963 took the prize for the oldest group, but that didn’t seem possible since we all felt so young.

The Saturday night class dinner at the home of our classmate, Sylvia Fubini, was the grand final and the highlight of the weekend. The evening began with bets about the Kentucky Derby, which made for some lively competition. Unfortunately, no one won enough to underwrite the party, but a good time was definitel had by all.

We laughed, we cried, and we remembered all the great times we had as students way back when. We looked at the yearbooks and pictures, which brought back many fond memories, and marveled at the fact that none of us have changed that much!

A few classmates who graduated from other high schools felt close enough to our class to visit with us over the weekend. It’s also great to see that the spouses enjoy each other and have a good time when we get together.

Many thanks to John Luykx, Sylvia Fubini, and Pat Cross Bradley, who did all the work to make this a wonderful gathering and a great weekend. Our only regret is that more members of our class weren’t there, and we hope that we will all come together to celebrate the Class of 1963’s 60th Reunion.

Kathleen Anderson: I am so sorry I missed the reunion, but I had a wonderful opportunity to go to Cuba for a once-in-alifetime trip. There were only four of us, and two were professional guides. It was a very personal trip meeting families and friends from Cuba. Just could not pass it up. I did meet with Robert Zweben, John Luykx, and John’s wife, Linda, for breakfast on the Sunday of the reunion. It was nice to catch up. I continue to work on my art and to show with my critique group. We will be showing in Rehobeth in the spring, so I hope anyone on the Eastern Shore will drop in and visit the show. I will send out more info as the time gets closer.

John Bralove: I have once again retired from my job at the Captiva Erosion Prevention District (CEPD). I originally retired from CEPD in October 2015 but was recalled after my replacement had to leave after six months. This time it is for good. I now have time to pay more attention to my orchids and to turn wood bowls on my lathe. Anna and I spent 10 days in London in May during the time the Royal Wedding occurred. In August we spent our usual week in Maine.

We both continue to play tennis three or four days a week. Sorry to have missed our 55th reunion, but I intend to be at the 60th. Life is good even if the political situation is not.

Sharon Smull Hinckley: I spend the month of January in Tiruvannamalai, India, enjoying Satsang with Sharada Ma.

three painting classes every week, two for the San Diego Community College District and one at Vi Senior Living Community.

Margo Lee Hofeldt: Life is a whirlwind! I am embarking on the second year of my term as president of the Miami Beach Garden Club, which promises to be just as busy as the firs . The club did a successful fundraiser, presented several botanical outreach programs, planted trees, and helped create a school garden. It was a beautiful winter in Miami Beach, and we enjoyed Art Basel, the South Beach Wine and Food Festival, house and garden tours, theater, and other events. In May, we had a wonderful time at our Class of 1963 Reunion in DC. It was great to see everyone, and the weekend went by too quickly. We drove up to Connecticut for the summer with stops in Atlanta and Annapolis. We also went to New Hampshire and Boston, but the main travel event took place in September. As part of a family journey back to my husband’s ancestral roots on an island in Northern Germany, we went on a 12-day Baltic Sea cruise with stops in Berlin, St. Petersburg, Tallinn, Stockholm, Helsinki, and Copenhagen. I learned a lot and wish I could have spent more time exploring. I am looking forward to a busy and fun-fille season in Miami/Miami Beach, where it seems as if happy hour begins at 10:00 p.m.

Alison Feiss Kriviskey: My news is not the usual cheerful kind. My husband, Bruce, had triple-bypass open-heart surgery in June. We have spent the entire summer in recovery.

Bruce is doing very well, but we are calling the past few months the Lost Summer. As we

age, this seems to be quite common. We are looking forward to a much better year in 2019.

John Luykx: Best news is that we had a terrifi 55th Reunion in May. Great turnout; it’s amazing how we can make new friends of classmates we barely knew back in the day and get to know even better those in our special smaller groups of pals. Linda and I were in California in July to visit her daughter and son-in-law (my “bonus” kids) in San Diego, where we met up with Sharon Smull Hinckley and her husband, Kent.

Celebrating our 25th wedding anniversary, we explored the renovated Gaslamp area of downtown San Diego. Kent and I also played the famous Torrey Pines golf course.

Yes, we both broke 100. A few days later we fle up to the Bay Area, where Robert Zweben and his wife, Elaine, took us in for a couple of nights surrounding an overnight up to Napa Valley. Stayed at a great B&B in Napa and enjoyed the evening concert at Veterans Park on the river. Back home in DC, surviving on daily dose of CNN and Morning Joe, missing best old friend Philip Levy ’63.

George Smith: When most people reach retirement, they travel and do other things.

I remain active, working and overseeing a food bank for a large church. I will start my 18th year in February. I also founded a small 501(c)(3) ministry that focuses on both the people and the land of Israel. I will be making my eighth trip in September and will serve for two weeks as a volunteer to Christian ministries in Tel Aviv and Joppa. This year has been different from anything I’ve done to date. What’s happening in southern Israel—to

to the Supreme Court. The midterm election will have been decided. Even if the Democrats are considered victorious, they will not be able to undo the shambles left of our democracy by the Republicans in DC. Would never have guessed that we graduates of the 1960s would be witnessing the end of our democracy. Or that climate disruptions may make living unlivable.

I’m listed as a credentialed Christian worker who will be involved in humanitarian outreach there. It’s all a little new, with alert warnings coming only 5 to 15 seconds after a launch from Gaza. The press seems so slanted in favor of Hamas that very little is shared about kite fir bombs destroying forests, crops, and homes, as well as the short-range rockets and mortars that are being launched almost daily now. I realize I’m just one person but, working with others, I’m hoping we can help make a difference.

Robert Zweben: Hello all! This is a lastmoment note. As far as I know, my life is good.

The most worrisome family news is that my son, Seth, is serving our country in Iraq. I call this “emotional lockdown” time. His wife is doing an amazing job of being mother to their three kids and a wife. My daughter, Alena, is in Seattle. She is faring well and working hard as a naturopath doctor, specializing in Lyme and mold-related diseases. By the time you read this, I will have gone away for six weeks to several places out of the United States. I hope my passport won’t be revoked when I return. In all likelihood, the Republicans will have appointed Kavanaugh

Mary Bralove: My daughter Stephanie Stern and I stopped by to visit Susan Morse in Monterey, California, after completing a meditation retreat in nearby Tassajara. Both of us were feeling mellow and happy to see each other, and we enjoyed a long talk, quick catch-up, and big hug. Friends forever.

Richard May: The Uptown! Knauer Performing Arts Center, of which I was a co-founder, has finishe its firs 18 months of operations. It has been profitabl in year one, and we are in the process of reducing the debt assumed to complete the renovation of the Armory purchased in 2015.

REUNION RECAP

By Betsy Paull All year long, appropriate attention has focused on the earthshaking events of 1968.

The Sidwell Friends Class of 1968 has its share of memories relating to those events.

Some were life-changing. One likely effect is that we scattered, with a number of us moving to California—far out—and beyond.

So, a small but mighty 50th Reunion committee persistently used Facebook, email, letters, and phone calls to round up classmates, and we corralled friends from Lapland, Hawaii, US Virgin Islands, Vietnam, and all across the continental United States, including four of those Californians.

We are grateful to Head of School Bryan Garman and the Alumni Offi staff who hosted the kickoff luncheon in Zartman House for the Class of 1968. It turns out that Upper School history teacher Robbie Gross had spent the semester teaching a course on 1968. Robbie addressed the lunch gathering by asking what we remembered and by reminding us of things we might have forgotten (or been unaware of), such as the need to change our Commencement speaker when students protested the initial speaker’s hawkish Vietnam War involvement.

The lunch segued into visits with 5th grade students with whom we had exchanged letters.

(Note to future 50th Reunion classes: Do not miss doing this!) Warmed by these encounters and encouraged that the world might survive after all, once these 5th graders are in charge, we returned to Zartman House for happy hour.

Saturday began with sample classes— another thing not to be missed. A lunch buffet, the Distinguished Alumni Awards presentations, Meeting for Worship, and more mingling and toasting followed.

Most of us did all of this and were still up for the 50th Reunion dinner party at Kay Burgunder Steven’s home, which exceeded all expectations. There we raised cups of classmate Dick Ward’s Saintsbury Pinot Noir in memory of him and the six other classmates who have died since graduation. Other than that somber tribute, the 50th Reunion was joyful and uplifting. It was grand to learn about the lives of purpose and meaning that we have pursued and that some of us are taking on new challenges, even in our late 60s.

The downside was the feeling that we weren’t able to have conversations with everyone, the feeling of missed opportunities—which argues for another reunion soon.

Diana Echeverria: I have been an industrial hygienist researcher at the University of Washington and Battelle Memorial Institute for 33 years. For the firs 23 years I focused on the effects of neurotoxins on behavior in populations that work with mercury, lead, and solvents. In 2007 I was asked to work on surveillance of workers at Chernobyl

when they were building the large cement cover, mostly welders who smoked, drank, and were exposed to low radiation (what a combo). That led to surveillance of infectious disease in developing or low-resource countries. We lived in Tbilisi, Georgia (the Caucasus) for fiv years and then worked in Armenia, Kazakhstan, Afghanistan, Tanzania, Senegal, and Vietnam. It’s the same job in all countries: teaching doctors to report, teaching epidemiologists to analyze and act, teaching lab staff how to diagnose. We still sail on my Friendship sloop or Paul’s trimaran. I now am residing 20 feet from the Potomac River, living in a fishin cabin and sailing a dinghy. All are welcomed if passing through and I am here.

Harvey LeSure: Will miss everyone at our 50th. After 23 years as a clinical social worker/geriatric mental health specialist with Evergreen Hospital doing home visits all over the Seattle area, I have entered private practice working with a group called Emmaus Counseling. I have loved the last four years there. My three sons, Evan, Austin, and Adrien, struggled through the passing of their mother, Anne, in February 2000, yet through their grit managed to get their college degrees and get launched. After 15 years of bachelorhood I remarried in February 2015 to an amazing Brit named Elizabeth (no, not her) and moved to Clinton, Washington, on south Whidbey Island, an amazing arts community.

We live in a log home now surrounded by a beautiful English garden and graced by three cats named Teddy, Maggie, and Roxy. Would love to get a call, and Whidbey is a great place to visit with loads of charming B&Bs. After taking their son, Andrew, to Bowdoin College, David Nicholson and his wife, Elizabeth, drove up to Halifax, Nova Scotia, where David renewed his friendship with Donald Ritchie ’69. Don, who some may remember as playing guitar with Brint Hannay and Hugh Talman in the band Clockwork Orange is now an actor with more than 30 IMDB credits.

Neill Douglas Roe: Neill’s brother, Arthur Nicolas “Nick” Roe ’65, writes: With his favorite music playing and surrounded by his closest friends, Neill Douglas Roe passed away peacefully in his sleep on May 24, 2018, several days after his 68th birthday.

Throughout the long illness that preceded his death, Neill maintained a positive outlook on life and a close and loving connection with his friends, family, and caregivers. He will be missed by all of them. Friends remembered Neill at his home in a private gathering. As a typical youngest child, Neill loved being the

life of the party or the life of any situation and would have enjoyed this party in his yard. The son of Arthur and Barbara Roe, he was head of the Offi of International Science Activities at the National Science Foundation. Neill is survived by brothers Bill and Nick Roe, four nephews and nieces, four great nephews and great nieces, and his former wife, Christopher Ann Vallier. Neill graduated from Sidwell Friends in 1968 and Oberlin College in 1972.

He started his IT career in 1983 with a small software development, Intellimac, designing and developing a database for the US Army.

He began working at the US Department of Justice in 1985, where he won special achievement awards in 1994 and 2000 from Attorney General Janet Reno and special commendation awards in 1990 and 1998. Neill also worked diligently in 1999 to prepare for the Y2K bug, a coding problem making the year 2000 indistinguishable from 1900.

Ellen Hopman: As usual I have another book out. This is getting to be a bad habit. This time it’s a history of the witch persecutions in Europe and the United States. It also mentions Africa and the Middle East and covers the history from the Bronze Age to the

present. It ends with interviews with modern New England witches. The book is called The Real Witches of New England: History, Lore, and Modern Practice. I am not a witch, but some of my best friends are. So far they like the book. Whew! It’s from Inner Traditions, and you can fin it in all the usual places.

Besides that, I finall got back to Ireland in May. I spent the whole three weeks on the west coast, in Cork and Clare, and most of my time studying the flor and forests. I am slowly trying to get the word out about the dangers of deforestation everywhere, which is making climate change much worse. But y’all already know that.

Ann Farner Miller: My husband, David, and I have lived in Woolwich, Maine, for nearly 20 years. A few years ago, he began teaching classes in American literature at our local senior college. It is all very reminiscent of the American Studies class David taught at the Upper School in the late 1960s, where the history of the period was integrated with the works of art and literature we studied. I get to be his research assistant and prepare a bunch of visual presentations. This fall we are doing the 1880s and reading Twain, James, Whitman, Dickinson, and Douglass.

It is a tremendously enriching exercise for us (and our over-50 students). All year long we debate what era to focus on and which authors, and then we reread (or read for the firs time) a bunch of great books. Naturally for David, there’s a lot of Hemingway, but we have also read a few things we’ve not encountered before. The prime example here is The Autobiography of an Ex-Colored Man,

by James Weldon Johnson, a powerful but

overlooked book. Not to get too sappy, but the experience reminds me how my SFS education transformed my life. We live about an hour north of Portland and have plenty of room for guests if anyone is traveling through Maine.

Carol Sisco, Class of 1970, was recently named the chair of the board of directors at the Annapolis Maritime Museum and Park.

Laurene Sherlock: A book by Norman Eisen, entitled The Last Palace: Europe’s Turbulent Century in Five Lives and One Legendary House, was published in September. You may know Norman Eisen better as President Obama’s ethics tsar, a senior fellow of governance studies at the Brookings Institution, a political commentator on CNN, president of CREW (Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington), and the US ambassador to the Czech Republic from 2011 to 2014.

One of the fiv lives profile in the book was my grandfather, Laurence Steinhardt, US ambassador to Czechoslovakia from 1945 to 1948. I spent three years behind the scenes collaborating with Norman Eisen, allowing him first-tim research access to our family archives for the part of the book that focuses on my grandfather.

On September 17, the Brooking Institution live-streamed a panel discussion entitled “Will Democracy Win? The Recurring Battle between Liberalism and Its Adversaries.” Part of the discussion was moderated by Linda Wertheimer of NPR and brought together four direct descendants of Eisen’s protagonists in the book to speak about the human costs of these cycles. I was one of the panelists. The session is archived on the Brookings website.

I’ve been in DC for a while with my mom, facilitating her aging in place. Bette Catoe Strudwick is 92 years young and still lives in our family home. She’s mentally all there and has held a medical consulting position for the last nine years. She holds great memories of many of you. It’s been a pleasure and an honor to share this time of life with her. Mom has 10 grandchildren and three great-grands with two more on the way. And that’s my big news. My daughter and sonin-law are expecting twins, a boy and a girl, very soon. They will be born in Toronto with the bonus of dual citizenship. By the time you read this, my firs grandchildren will be here. Needless to say, I’m too excited. Let the fun begin! Updates on the babies, the rest of the family, and my life in the next issue.

Chris Tufty: Well, I tried to retire last year but got a work call I couldn’t resist! So I worked on season 2 of the new EPIX series, Get Shorty, this spring and summer.

Now I’m trying again to retire but will still actively photograph various ongoing projects, such as a desert fil called Don’t Bomb the Big Horns! and a Hawaiian documentary called The Dark Hobby, on salt water fis .

Hoping to visit DC this fall. Next year we’re getting ready to sell our family home in Chevy Chase, DC.

FALL 2018

 SIDWELL FRIENDS

Mark and I had decided to eventually retire to Sequim (“Skwim”), a lovely town on the water in the northwest part of Washington state, with the Olympic Mountains in our back yard. We bought our house three years ago, came up on weekends, and loved it so much we accelerated our move by several years. My retirement gave me time to pack up our Seattle house and supervise two trucks onto the ferry. There’s still some unpacking to finis a year later!

Mark found a local job but decided to join me in the good life and retired October 1.

We’ve been volunteering at a national wildlife refuge with a five-mile-lon sand spit and a lighthouse at the end that is the destination for a lot of our visitors. I’m supporting Mark as his caddy in his love/hate relationship with golf. And in January we rescued a 10-monthold bundle of energy, a terrier-cattle dog mix we named Kona. She’ll keep me young with twice-daily walks on the beach.

Ingrid Beach: I’m still living in New Zealand and travel to DC each year to visit my 92-year-old mother, to Sweden to visit one brother, and to Maine to visit the other.

I’m also hoping to continue annual trips to India for my meditation development. My husband, Bruce, is equally interested in meditation. That’s good, since it would be difficu pursuing this without support.

I have one daughter who is an actor and short fil creator in Auckland and one who works behind the camera on blockbuster film and is living in Wellington. For her current fil , she’s one of the props buyers for the next Avatar. Sometimes I think my early ambition to be on Broadway was all so I could be supportive of my daughters’ ambitions.

Michele Bond: I am still happily based in DC after retiring from the State Department in January 2017 after 40 great years. When I retired, three of our four children were living overseas, in Indonesia (Peace Corps), London (law firm) and Turkey (International Rescue Committee), and one was in New York City (banking). So a priority for Cliff and me in that firs year was to take advantage of copious free time to visit the kiddos. I especially enjoyed our time in Antakya, Turkey, where our daughter Elisabeth was helping provide resources and services to internally displaced Syrians. All of our children are now back in the United States.

In January, I was sworn in as a courtappointed special advocate (CASA) and have been working with a sweet three-year-old child. CASA, a national organization, recruits

volunteer citizens who act as advocates and mentors for children in foster care, one child at a time; we don’t have a “caseload” like so many of the hardworking people responsible for these children. It’s great to be back on the playground and to be in a position to ensure that a vulnerable child gets all the resources, services, and support he/she needs and is entitled to. I expect “my” child will soon be adopted and leave foster care, which is a fantastic outcome.

Julia Challinor: Piet and I moved back to the United States from Amsterdam after 13 and a half years. The tax premium of staying got too high. We are now in Capitola, California, which seems to have only one weather pattern and makes us long for rain. We are consoling ourselves with the fact that we seem to have moved to the Republic of California, which is some compensation for returning to a country we had left for political reasons in 2004.

We did leave one son and his family (one girl and one boy) in Germany, so we have good reason to return to Europe regularly.

The good news is we are now closer to our daughter and her family (two boys) and our other son and his girlfriend in Oakland.

I cannot believe time is flyin just like seniors use to tell us years ago. I’m still routinely visiting my 91-year-old mom in DC. Perhaps a mid-term reunion when I’m in town?

Doug Cole: I am still working with kids teaching drama at several schools and enjoying it a lot. I’m also playing a lot of music (harmonica) in a couple different blues bands in Oakland. You can check out my main band on Facebook: Margie Turner and the Outback Blues Band.

My wife and I sold our house in Oakland and bought a condo in nearby Walnut Creek and are enjoying a more maintenance-free home. It’s small but super quiet and in a lovely park-like setting. Deer and wild turkeys roam around everywhere; birds wake us in the morning and crickets put us to sleep.

Quite a change from 40 years in Oakland!

My son, Andre, is a professional dancer and dance teacher living in Oakland, and my daughter, Julia, is just starting community college in Berkeley.

It’s hard to believe we are halfway through our 60s, but being a teacher of young kids and playing in a band help keep my spirit young!

I haven’t made it to the reunions, but I think of many of you often and have stayed

in touch with a few of you. My two good buddies and former bandmates, Doug Cater and Pierre President, are no longer with us, which makes me sad. Doug had a long struggle with mental illness and substance abuse, and Pierre suffered from kidney issues that finall got him.

Steve Craig: Sharon and I moved to Lafayette, Louisiana, from Chicago back in April. We had to downsize and wanted to fle Chicago winters. We’re renting a gorgeous house in a quiet neighborhood. It’s got a peaceful, shaded backyard with a canopy of tall oak, cypress, and ponderosa pines. We are loving the Cajun and Creole culture, especially the music. We spend a lot of time in dance halls and bars and eat out a lot at some smoking good restaurants and craft breweries.

We’re both retired, but Sharon volunteers at the local animal rescue shelter. She’s the “cat lady.” Folks are more into dogs down here and seem somewhat mystifie by cats.

I keep the house in shape and try to keep myself in shape at the local health club.

I stepped back from my active organizing work after my heart attack a couple years back. But I continue to watch developments from afar and still edit and write for the Chicago Alliance. I haven’t found the pulse of the struggle down here. We’re living in a blue neighborhood in a very red region.

It can be soul draining sometimes.

We have a lovely guest room, so visitors are welcome. Love to all, especially to those who have lost loved ones.

By now this includes us all.

Giselle Frances (Tom) Donnelly: I am entering my 16th year as a fellow at the American Enterprise Institute and am racing to complete a long-running book project, Empire for Liberty: The British Roots of American Strategic Culture. I remarried a year ago, and my wife and I live in Cabin John, Maryland. Later this fall we’re taking a wine holiday to Spain, after which I will transition to full-time life as Giselle Frances Donnelly. I have never been happier.

John Emory: We remain in McLean, Virginia, and I am still working for BAE Systems, where my closest colleague is a fir eater, sword swallower, and cowboy trick roper who was an extra in the movie Forrest Gump. I’ll retire when the work is no longer worth the daily commute to Maryland.

Our son Michael is in Palo Alto with his family, and our younger son Daniel just bought his firs home, a condo in DC, literally one block from Sidwell Friends.

We preemptively replaced Daniel with a second dog, a 10-month-old rescue puppy, and share our cul-de-sac with a family of deer and a couple of foxes.

This past July I spent a week in Cape Cod, boogie boarding in the waves at Long Nook beach alongside some pretty big seals.

Two weeks later, a swimmer at that same beach was bitten by a great white shark!

Al Grunwell: With age comes physical deterioration and the deaths of many. In my case, the relatively recent deaths of classmates Pierre President and Joel Brinkley have taken a certain psychic toll, as did those of Doug Cater and, way back, Kip Brady.

For me, it’s a mate-less life in Ithaca, New York, with my trusty dog. Several divorces have been costly, so though we’re all now 65, I must continue to work almost literally until I drop dead. I moved my parents up here in 2004, and caring for them as they expired took a similar, if more predictable, chunk o’ my heart.

I am still engaged in recording all things acoustic and now shoot video at events at Cornell. Age discrimination, which I have certainly faced, doesn’t pertain as long as I’m on time and get the job done in a timely fashion.

The dog and I hike for an hour every morning on our marvelous Black Diamond trail. I have arthritis of the spine, which is every bit as painful and annoying as you can imagine. I do biweekly strength training, have monthly doses of chiropractic care and deep massage, and do yoga.

I am close with my most recent exfamily, especially with my 30-yearold “pseudo” daughter. It’s lovely how fractured families can come together.

David Hardy: In late 2016 I moved back to Utah from Woodstock, Vermont. Five of my six children live in Salt Lake, and I have six grandchildren—so I’m loving being a grandpa. My four sons have an incredible band called the Hardy Brothers.

They play a couple of gigs each month and, if you can believe it, let their dad sit in on the middle set and play “Dad Songs.” This is about the most fun a dad can have.

Probably the most important thing I’m doing is raising funding for an organization called Encircle (www.encircletogether.org) that is an amazingly effective LGBTQ+ youth and family resource center in Provo. Its unique religion-neutral approach helps LGBTQ kids and parents adjust and know they can thrive. Of the more than 2,500 LGBTQ kids involved in Encircle’s programs, there have been no suicides. Utah has the highest youth suicide rate in the nation, and over 65 percent of those have historically been LGBTQ youth largely from Mormon families.

This is the firs real solution I have seen to effectively address this tragic epidemic.

Together with Brad Clark, we have raised funds for Encircle to acquire a house in Salt Lake City and another St. George, Utah.

If you are interested in the full story of my journey with the Mormon Church and the LGBTQ issue, I was interviewed recently for a three-part podcast that’s on mormonstories.com.

Barbie Jaspersen: Along with quite a few other people (almost all over 55), I was recently laid off by the University of San Francisco. This came barely a week after I returned to work following a very serious illness. I was shocked and blindsided after 33 years and six different positions there.

USF was a place I had come to consider a kind of home. So many wonderful things transpired for me there over the years; I was respected, productive, and able to reach students and help build programs.

My colleagues are still horrifie , and I am trying to pick up the pieces.

I am looking for a job and considering moving back to the East Coast. I am trying to welcome the mantra I keep hearing from helpful people: “One door closes, and another one opens.” My best wishes to everyone; I hope you are all findin some joy in these difficu times.

Karen Kennedy: Because all good professors are expected to do research and scholarship along with teaching and service, I took the opportunity to do sabbatical study related to my overseeing and directing our university’s Center for Public Service and Scholarship.

The mantra of Sidwell Friends to live a life of service has certainly influence and led me to this particular aspect of higher education.

I traveled to and conducted research at three universities to fin out how service is embedded into curriculum as well as how much service students, faculty, and staff give

to their community through volunteer hours.

The three institutions are the University of Sydney, Australia; St. Andrews, Scotland; and McGill University, Canada. It was a terrifi experience with many contacts made, inspiring conversations, and interactions with clinics, nonprofits businesses, brilliant professors, administrators, and students. Service is alive and well through multiple avenues with this next generation of students and postsecondary education.

Susan Mortell: Not in my wildest dreams did I ever think that I would teach in a high school; one never knows where the road will lead. It is an Albemarle County, Virginia, alternative school for high school students (and a few from middle school) who have had difficulti in their base schools. The school is tiny—fiv teachers and up to 25 students—though right now we only have six. Their stories would break your collective hearts; every day I am amazed that any one of them can get out of bed and come to school and actually do algebra.

Because the school is so small we have a lot of freedom to do what works and try to make the best plan for each individual child. It’s rewarding, so I will keep doing this for the time being. I have two handsome sons, one who lives here and another who is a vagabond silversmith based in Colorado but who travels to festivals and art fairs with his jewelry.

Gerry Peereboom: Margie and I have now been in Vancouver, Canada, for two years. We have been fortunate to have lived in a lot of wonderful places in the world but the last two (Tel Aviv and Vancouver) have ranked right up there for quality of life. Margie has been amazing as I keep uprooting her and promising that we will settle down in the United States one day. We’ve actually celebrated our 39th anniversary, and it has been, and is, a great ride. We have two grown kids, our son in Houston and our daughter in Cincinnati.

Here in Vancouver I’m working for a small startup that hopes to one day build the most environmentally friendly liquefie natural gas plant in the world. It’s a lofty goal, but that’s about the only way you get approval to build one here in Canada. Vancouver is a great city and, frankly, it’s not been a bad time to be outside the US with all the politics and divisiveness that seem to be the norm these days. We have a home in Austin that sits patiently waiting for someone to live in it. I do plan to retire one of these days and so I’m thinking the calendar should be wide open for our 50th Reunion in 2021.

Tom Plumb: I am now living full time in Honduras.

Peter Radue: My wife Nanette and I recently visited our youngest daughter, who is working as a park ranger on Mount Rainier. Gorgeous part of the world that we had never seen!

Elizabeth “Buffy Rhodes Reich: I am still loving my job as CEO of Make-A-Wish Arizona and plan to keep doing it for two more years. It’s wonderful to have my best job be my last job; it makes me not want it to end. I feel very fortunate to do work that truly makes a difference in the lives of children dealing with critical illnesses and at the same time to work with some of the most talented and dedicated people I know. The millennials on our staff make a mockery of the stereotypes about their generation. I wish I had been so dedicated and wise at their age.

My husband Frank and I celebrated our 43rd wedding anniversary. He retired three years ago and does a fabulous job of spoiling me, a habit I encourage. Our three sons are each well-employed (an aerospace engineer, a property manager, and a lawyer), happily married, and the parents of our six perfect grandchildren, with a seventh due in October. They all live in the area, so we are able to spend time with them.

Grandparenting is so much better, and easier, than parenting! Frank and I are enjoying living in the desert with our two cats and traveling whenever my schedule allows it.

Thanks to Mrs. Dater’s inspiration, we have recently enjoyed exploring South America.

Joann Rosenfeld: I have been a family doctor for 40 years in inner-city Wilmington, Baltimore, Appalachia, and now rural Northern California. I have delivered 2,500 babies and have done 1,000 circumcisions. I have taught residents and medical students, have 60 research articles on Medline, have written six books on women’s health and two novels, and have been a professor of family medicine. I have been a Quaker for 30 years now. I adopted two children who are active and healthy and grown. I am now a pain management specialist in Santa Rosa, California.

Andy Ruina: I would have graduated with classmates in ’71 but was only with you at SFS for 6th and 7th grades (Mr. Rice and Mrs. Adams). I remember many of you. By assumed symmetry, some of you remember me. In lieu of Google search results: For 21 years on one side of the student-teacher relationship, and 38 years on the other, I have

irritated and disappointed those who judge me, while also achieving some success. At present, if a million dollars fall from the sky, we hope to make the world’s best, by some measures, bipedal walking robot. I’m married with two daughters and in decent health after upgrading my vegan diet to low-carb.

Elizabeth Scheuer: I went back to graduate school in 2009 and got a master’s in history of design and decorative arts. (My firs MA was in medieval Latin and paleography, so I seem to be on a roll here for useless studies!) Since then I’ve been teaching design history part time and serving as a docent at the CooperHewitt Museum in New York City. Anyone who comes to New York: A complimentary ticket and tour await you! I also hanker to return in some (probably pro-bono) capacity to the practice of law. Last year I volunteered at an LGBTQ legal clinic; my background is in matrimonial law (for indigent people), but I’d happily work wherever I can feel useful.

I am fortunate to be still happily married for 38 years, with four supposedly adult children.

Our one son lives in New York; one daughter lives in Cambridge, Massachusetts, one in Philadelphia, and one in Mexico City. Two are lawyers, and a third is in law school; the wild and crazy rebel went to business school. We are a pretty boring family.

Most noteworthy achievement outside family: climbing Mt. Kilimanjaro in 2008.

Strong hope: that you will all turn up in 2021 for our 50th Reunion! Great pleasure: reconnecting recently with Nancy Gentzler Chaffet , who is well and thriving.

Pat Jones Will: We are finalizin construction plans for our new house in San Marcos, Texas. Larry and I retire next spring and will be moving there from Westminster, Maryland. Our son and his wife gave us a beautiful granddaughter last November, and we want to be closer than a 28-hour drive.

There is no way we can we stay in Maryland when they live in Texas. In San Marcos, we will be about three hours from them.

Joan Hedrich Wooten: I completed my doctorate in theology and ethics at Union Presbyterian Seminary and graduated in May. If anyone ever tells you to give up or it’s too late, don’t believe it. My area of specialization is the intersection of faith and politics in the Reformed theological tradition. I’ll be delivering the Berger Lecture at Dubuque Theological Seminary in October and serving as one of the instructors in their ministry doctoral program with

emphasis in military chaplaincy. That, plus serving as parish associate at First Presbyterian Church, Pensacola, keeps me off the streets and out of trouble.

Our family is thriving; our daughter, Sarah, lives in Gainesville, Florida, and works as a paralegal in the fiel of immigration and naturalization services—needless to say, she is up to her neck in work. Our son, Michael, left active-duty Marine Corps to fl with American Airlines. He and his wife, Loryn, and their three children live near us, a great blessing indeed. My husband, David, works as a simulator instructor at NAS Pensacola and loves what he does. He is a fantastic teacher and could probably even teach me to fly—bu that might be overly optimistic.

Ann Yoklavich: Hurricane Lane never really hit Oahu this past August, and we were never very worried. It had been downgraded from a category 5 earlier in the week and then to a tropical storm. We just had a bit of rain in our dry neighborhood and no damaging winds. Joseph and I still enjoy living here in this tropical paradise.

George Farner’s wife of 26 years, Denise, passed away in July from pancreatic cancer.

She was the mother of their daughter, Hannah, and a great step-mom to George’s three older kids, Emily, Alison, and Andy. It’s such a great loss to lose one’s life partner; I am sure we will all hold George in the Light.

George’s mother, Saralei Farner, also died in November 2017 at age 90. Our condolences to George and the rest of his family.

Neal Wetzel: Since most of us are turning 65 this year, how about we all plan a birthday party?

The CLASS OF 1973 celebrates at the class party during Reunion Weekend 2018.

REUNION RECAP Thirty-fiv members of the Class of 1973 celebrated our 45th Reunion with a lovely evening of dining, laughter, reminiscence, and spirited conversation. After informal Friday get-togethers and Saturday campus events, we enjoyed an Indian feast at the home of Josh Horwitz. Topics of conversation ranged from children and grandchildren to the challenges of caring for elderly parents, from retirement to the adventure of new professional activities, from personal struggles to mid-life peace and contentment.

It was a joy to be among old friends; we hope to see even more classmates at our 50th.

Special thanks to Lydia White Adelfi , our Class of ’73 communicator-in-chief.

Our second daughter, Jessica and her husband, Robert, have lived in Niigata, Japan, for four years. They both teach English at a private school to children and business people, ages 2 to 90. Leah, our third daughter, lives in Atlanta and is about to get her master’s in divinity from Candler School of Theology, a branch of Emory University.

She and her boyfriend, Codi, have been together for eight years. Leah works in field like social justice, conflic resolution, racial reconciliation, and prison reform. She has a big heart! My husband, Dennis, is the music director for Aldersgate United Methodist Church here. He is also a published choral composer. I taught ballet for 30 years, and for the last 10 years I have been teaching water aerobics and other exercise classes. Dennis and I just got back from a fabulous 32-day trip to Paris, Barcelona, and the Greek Isles. I look forward to seeing you all again sometime!

John Marcou: My wife, Donna Mei, and I were in the United States for a month.

We started in Worcester, Massachusetts, where daughter Julia graduated from college, stopped in the DMV to visit family and friends, and then continued on to the Deep South. I’m no stranger to that part of the country (born in Nashville, lived and worked in Texas, Oklahoma, Louisiana, and the Gulf of Mexico). We started in Memphis (great BBQ, who knew?), with side trips to Arkansas (Johnny Cash’s childhood home),

Missouri (just to check it off the list), Tupelo (the King’s childhood home; turns out he is alive and living in an almost-pink Cadillac like the one he gave his mom, who did not drive), Nashville (yes, my firs home is still standing), Atlanta (Braves 4, Nats 2, boo!), Pensacola (still the nicest beaches), Mobile (eh, but the Bellingrath Gardens were nice), Biloxi (Beauvoir Estate, still standing), and finall New Orleans, with a side trip to the bayou to spot some gators.

This trip brought us to 30 out of 50 states and completed the east-of-the-Mississippi set.

If any of y’all get the urge to visit this side of the planet, say on your way to Bali or some other southeast Asia destination, please let us know and we’ll try to get together.

Alan Drummer: Great to catch up with Charlie Calomiris after 43 years! We had dinner in Palo Alto where Charlie is a visiting fellow at the Hoover Institution and also a professor at Columbia Business School (where he has won awards for great teaching and course innovation—he didn’t tell me this stuff I dug it up). As current affair fans, we talked about the evils/pros of regulation and other economic developments (he sees progress being made in the trade war with China).

Hats off to our junior-year US history teacher at Sidwell, Lee MacVaugh, for testing the year-long hypothesis with us that economics drives history and for making the class vivid.

And hats off to Charlie for being a warrior on Capitol Hill for more-effective regulation of banks. He was showing signs of the warrior streak junior year, arguing with Lee. Nicole Fall: I am interim executive director of Baltimore Clayworks, a renowned ceramic art center where we offer classes, a resident artist program, and community outreach to schools, rec centers, and social service providers. I also make sculpture in welded steel and clay and received a Maryland State Arts Council Individual Artist Award in

2017. My husband, Blake Conroy, and grown children are similarly afflicte Blake exhibits his laser-cut paper works all over the country.

My daughter is a designer for Google. My son works in robotics but also makes his own conceptual work. He shows with the group called the Museum of Capitalism. While I went through the most difficu period of my life at Friends, it was the support of teachers and staff that got me through. Thank you.

Working at the Treasury for Secretary Mnuchin is always exciting, with new challenges every day. My six children are out of the house, so after 30 years I no longer have to balance work and family. Two grandchildren arrived this summer, bringing the total to four.

It truly was a special event, and many of us have continued to speak, text, and see each other since that evening.

My six years as a Girl Scout leader are drawing to an end; this June, I will proudly watch them all graduate from high school. This fall my son, Daniel, transferred from the University of Rhode Island to Brown University, where he is a junior concentrating in mathematics. Daughter Suzelle is busy in her senior year of high school and trying to plan for the future. She recently toured schools in DC, so it is possible that I will have more reasons to visit the area next year. As the kids move off the nest, we, too, are thinking about our next steps.

fellow from the Victoria Memorial Hall in Kolkata, India, this past spring and will be visiting him there in two weeks. I’ll also be heading to the city of Udaipur, where I have been helping the City Palace Museum set up a conservation lab. Finally, I’ve been using multi- and hyper-spectral imaging to learn more about the materials used to create a 14th-century illustrated manuscript known as the Great Mongol Shahnama.

Charlie Kupfer: I put my baseball fondness to professional use, writing Something Magic: The Baltimore Orioles, 1979–1983 (McFarland, 2018). It analyzes the Baltimore-DC baseball relationship and explains from a Washington perspective how metro-area support for the Orioles demonstrated the capital’s merits as a Major League market. Hope everyone is well.

William Rice: My stepdaughter, Sophie, is off to Kenyon College in rural Ohio, where she’s dealing with the curiosities and advantages of attending a college smaller than her high school (Wilson here in DC) and the nearest Starbucks being several counties away. My stepson, Walter, is on a different track but making good progress in a special program associated with Montgomery College in Rockville.

My wife, Cathy’s, social coaching nonprofi , D.C. Peers, is garnering more and more publicity and supporters as it helps kids on the autism spectrum better understand the “neurotypical” world— and introduces neurotypicals to the fascinating worlds of the “neurodiverse.”

Speaking of neurodiversity: I’m continuing to settle into an initial married life only commenced in my 50s, while I continue to explore my off-bea past through the growing pages of a memoir manuscript.

Cathy makes the marriage part easy—the memoir’s a little tougher but worth the effort.

In my spare time, I ghost-write screeds on why most of the people reading this should be paying higher taxes to better serve the common good. If this sees print before Election Day, there’s a good chance that right now I’m knocking on a door somewhere in Northern Virginia, trying to elect someone to Congress who can bring us back a little sanity.

wonderful job. My spouse, Gina Fried, passed away in spring 2016, after a two-year “dance,” as she said, with metastatic breast cancer.

Those years were not easy ones, but both I and my stepkids, Gina’s children Zach and Zoe, are doing pretty well, and I am looking forward to Zach’s wedding this coming spring (and, for any SFS alumni in Austin, check out his food truck: www.kimchijons.com). I had a nice blast from the SFS past a few months ago, when I discovered my cassette tape of “Tower,” the show I put on our senior year with Martha Hausman, David Thaler, David Barnes, Elizabeth Alexander, and Eve Pollack, and realized I had a working tape player. The way lies open!

Mark Alexander: I am in my third year as dean at Villanova Law, and I love every bit of it. It is a joy to be part of the students’ lives and to help them learn not just the substance of law but also how to be leaders who serve their clients, always guided by their values. Life on the Main Line is like something out of a book—great community, beautiful scenery, and more. And having a couple of basketball championships is a nice plus! Tracy and I are never bored, and we are thankful for every day!

Paul Ellenbogen is due to depart the shady environs of Oak Park, Illinois (former home of Dan Castalanetta) for Printer’s Row on the South Side of Chicago, where he feels unlikely to encounter Bad, Bad Leroy Brown.

At that fir , he continues to work with mutual fund boards on regulatory and compliance issues. He is happy to remain in a city that manages to retain not one but two baseball teams, suffers through two seasons but no tornadoes, and enjoys real two-inch-thick pizza. (Armand’s is to deep dish what Doritos are to corn chips.)

Barbara Lynn-Davis: I keep engaged teaching art history and writing at Wellesley

Sarah Willens Kass: Since retiring from public school teaching this past year after almost 30 years of teaching secondary English and ESOL, I am thrilled this fall to be coteaching a course in the American novella at the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute (OLLI) with my mother, Susan Willens. My mother was my 11th grade English teacher the year we lived in Tel Aviv, so I already knew how skilled a teacher she is, but it’s another thing altogether to be in front of a class with her.

College. Last year, I published a novel set in 18th-century Venice, Casanova’s Secret Wife (Kensington Publishing), and I’m at work on another one, about a painting by Raphael mysteriously lost in World War II. My family has fledge from Concord, Massachusetts, where we live, but luckily I have a new puppy!

Ted Morrow-Spitzer: Life in Maine continues to be good. My middle child, Jacob, graduated from Tulane in May (New Orleans being quite a fun place to go to college and for parents to visit), and my youngest, Lilah, is a high school senior navigating the college admissions process. I built and launched a small sailboat this summer and have greatly enjoyed fli ting around nearby Little Sebago Lake (see photo of the christening with cheap beer). Doing lots of rowing, biking, and tennis, too. Can’t complain!

Mark Ozer: Our family is still here on the Upper West Side of New York during the school year, with weekly escapes to Rhode Island during the summer months. Life is good and busy with the kids now towering over Ava (they seem to have gotten my height but hopefully her poise, style, and work ethic). I am getting our son, Nico, out on the tennis courts regularly on the weekends and our daughter, Anais, is getting as far away from that as possible, spending lots of time on the water with sailing and now crew. Nico is joining Anais for high school at Ethical Culture Fieldston School, which is about as close to the Sidwell ethos as one can fin here

in NYC, so we are grateful for that opportunity and enriched and thoughtful environment.

My extended family was touchingly hosted

by Sidwell in the wonderful Meeting Room when we came together for the memorial for my sister Kathy Ozer ’76 when we lost her to cancer in early 2017. The Class of ’76 launched a memorial fund for students and faculty to inspire and support those in her work on food justice and farmer advocacy. The support from friends and ’76 classmates has been wonderful, with more than $90,000 raised toward the $100,000 goal. A number of classmates from ’82 have already provided support, but any additional support from across the Sidwell community is tremendously appreciated. Please email me at markozer@yahoo.com or Joe Painter in the School Advancement Offi at painterj@ sidwell.edu to learn more or make a gift. A list of generous donors is enclosed in the Annual Report of Philanthropy on page 104.

Alex Podolsky: For the last decade I’ve been working in renewable energy, specificall large commercial and utility-scale solar power. Though the work sounds rewarding, the industry is fraught with systemic barriers to adoption due to monopoly controls by electric utilities over transmission and distribution. I tell people that 50 years from now most of our energy will come from renewable resources (not just solar power), but the road from here to there is going to be torturous and might involve running off a cliff or two. In that time, I have worked for six companies, three of them start-ups. All either went bankrupt or dissolved their efforts in solar.

After an exceptionally dysfunctional two-year tenure at my last job, when the company lost three-quarters of its valuation, I negotiated a decent severance and have spent the last year on sabbatical (and burning up my meager life savings). Most of this time was devoted to my two boys, who are now 12 and 13. Here is a partial list of our activities: building a computer from scratch, teaching the boys to scuba dive, building a weldedframe go-kart from scratch, traditional recurve bow archery, outdoor rock climbing, cooking Eastern European culinary delights, and teaching the boys to surf.

So now after a year of reflectio , it’s time to launch into a new professional endeavor (I need to pay the rent). I’m interested in disrupting industries that are calcifie and corrupt. If any other Sidwellians have some good suggestions, feel free to reach out.

Suzanne Robinson Taylor: I am now beginning my 11th year as director of events at Network for Teaching Entrepreneurship.

Both Maureen Kline and Amy Thaler have been gracious enough to serve as judges for my student competitions! If you know an entrepreneur who is interested in supporting this sort of thing, please let me know. I am also a very active member of the Blue Hill Troupe, a 95-year-old theater troupe that produces a musical comedy and a Gilbert and Sullivan operetta each year to raise money for New York City-based charities. My husband, John, and I met in the troupe 21 years ago, and we still love it—so join Maureen and Tova Ferro and come see a show! We have no kids but really enjoy our young relatives who love to come hang out in NYC with us and our cats. John works with Tova, and this year they share a homeroom of 7th graders together, which makes me nostalgic for when she and I met in 7th grade.

I’m always glad to run into Jon Socolow on the street and would love to see more Sidwellites more regularly (outside of Facebook).

REUNION RECAP

By Linda Gaus The SFS Class of ’83 celebrated its 35th Reunion in laid-back style on the firs weekend in May. Festivities began with the traditional informal gathering at the former Brickskeller (now the Bier Baron Beer Bar) near Dupont Circle on Friday night. Despite the heat, it was fun to see a lot of familiar faces and a few unfamiliar ones—including Laura Martin Gordon’s son, who was brave enough to make a brief appearance amidst all the old folk—and to start catching up with old friends. We may have given the poor waiter a nervous breakdown, but I am pleased to report that, otherwise, we behaved ourselves pretty well, which is actually amazing considering some of the wild stories told over the course of the evening about times past!

The party continued Saturday morning with offici events on the SFS campus, including breakfast and classes taught by current and former SFS teachers and culminating with the presentation of the Distinguished Alumni Awards at the luncheon. We are very proud that our classmate Matthew Denckla was one of four alumni recognized for his decades of work as an HIV/AIDS activist. In

his typical humble style, Matthew explained in the fil how he moved to San Francisco with only a little experience and how “he just kept saying yes to things he had no idea how to do and then learned how to do them along the way.” Over the years, he has been instrumental in establishing a health clinic in the Castro District for gay and bisexual men and raising funds for local HIV/AIDS charities through the Academy of Friends gala. Events on the SFS campus concluded with a well-attended Meeting for Worship.

The true highlight of the weekend was the Class of ’83 dinner hosted by Carol and Henry Goldberg (parents of our classmate Bennett Goldberg) in their lovely art-fille Chevy Chase apartment. The fina guest list for this Cinco de Mayo-themed bash included almost 50 of our classmates, plus spouses, significan others, and friends. Thanks to the logistical efforts of the Reunion Committee, there was delicious food from Fish Taco and there were drinks aplenty, plus cameo appearances by Ellis Turner and George Lang. Another fun feature of the evening was the digital caricaturist, MikeyJ, who created works of art on the spot for those willing to sit for him. We have posted a link to the caricatures in the SFS Class of ’83 group on Facebook, so if you’re curious, check them out. There are also pictures of our class dinner available on the SFS website. Because we all had so much catching up to do, the party lasted well into the night. Many thanks once again to the Goldbergs for their generous hospitality and to everyone who helped make 50

Once again Jennifer and Mike Wood graciously opened their home to a Sidwell Class of ’93 Reunion and threw another amazing party with great food and drink that lasted well into the night. It was a wellattended event with classmates and some significan others gathered from near and far, making for a very special night. Several attendees had never been to a reunion before, or hadn’t since our 5th, so it was especially fun to see those classmates after all these many years. Hopefully, they and others enjoyed the night so much that we will set attendance records at our 30th. Lastly, we were lucky enough to have had an appearance by legendary American Studies teacher and soon-retiring Associate Head of School Ellis Turner. It was an honor to have him there; the School will not be able to fil those shoes. So great to see and to spend time with you all!

a classmate from Amherst, Natalie King, and we’re planning on having the wedding in late 2019 or early 2020. I’m in my third year of an MD/MPH/TM (tropical medicine) program at Tulane’s schools of medicine and public health. I earned a military scholarship for medical school, and I’m currently a 2nd lieutenant in the US Army. I’m not sure which specialty I’ll end up in, but I’m very interested in tropical medicine and infectious disease. In my free time, I play soccer with a couple teams down here and volunteer as a scuba diver at the local aquarium.

Jerry Wertheim: I spent the past four years working in various supply chain and operations roles for Newell Brands in Wichita, Atlanta, and mostly Chicago.

I grew tired of supply chain though, and I became interested in the recent trend toward design thinking in business, also known as human-centered design. To that end, I moved back to DC with my girlfriend in June, and I just started a dual-degree program to get my MBA from Johns Hopkins and a master’s in design leadership at MICA. And my girlfriend is now my fiancé because we just got engaged! She’s so awesome in so many ways, and I feel like such a lucky guy.

Kaihua Zheng: I left Bank of China and Hong Kong about four months ago. I’m now working at a sports company with an emphasis on running and skateboarding events. In my free time, I play basketball and read books inspired by my economics professor from Denison.

REUNION RECAP

By Cecilia Laguarda With most having just graduated college and with a year of experiencing the real world under their belt, the Class of 2013 returned to the Sidwell campus in triumph for their five-yea reunion. Friends near and far (as far as San Francisco and as near

as their parents’ house in Chevy Chase) came back to celebrate and reconnect.

On Friday night, a smaller contingent of our class met behind Zartman House for a lovely event catered by the School, mixing with other reunion classes, current teachers, and graduated parents. Over hors d’oeuvres and plenty of wine, members of ’13 chatted about their time at universities, their time abroad, their jobs, startup ventures, professional basketball careers, and graduate school. Later that evening, we walked down Wisconsin Avenue to Barcelona Wine Bar for a more substantial dinner, even more talking, and even more wine.

The Saturday events commenced again at Sidwell, with several classes taught by current faculty, none of which were attended by the Class of 2013. Instead we met up afterward in the gym for our reunion lunch. To our surprise, the Alumni Offi as well as our peers had dug up old notes we had written to each other our senior year. Reading these among friends was an absolute delight, complete with old jokes brought back and old secrets revealed. Members of the Class of ’13 also discovered to their excitement that Bill Nye ’73 was present at the lunch. We were probably not the firs group of five-yea reunioners to be overly excited to see him, and he graciously posed for a photo with our group.

After lunch came the much-anticipated all-alumni Meeting for Worship. Though few would admit it, the silence of the Meeting Room was sorely missed during our college years. Being back in that space, listening to our peers and elder class years talk about their time at Sidwell, fostered a profound sense of community, a togetherness and connection to the School not felt since our last days as seniors.

Despite it being Cinco de Mayo in the most popular nightlife strip of downtown DC, we were somehow able to reserve a private room at Hawthorne bar on U Street. An impressive 50+ friends from our class came out to do even more catching up over drinks and snacks. For three hours, we had the bar all to ourselves, but after 10:00 p.m. split off around the U Street area to crawl the town, run into everyone on the street at least one more time, and then Uber home. Sunday was spent mostly in bed.

Overall, perhaps the best part of our Reunion Weekend was realizing that, though our time as students has passed, we as a class are still making new memories together. Here’s to another fiv years!

Phillip McGloin: The following is an excerpt from the school magazine at Vanderbilt University: Since he was 13, Phillip McGloin’s world had orbited around basketball. It even influence his college choice. “I picked Vanderbilt over a couple of other schools because it’s a great university, gave me a lot of financia aid, and it was somewhere I thought I could play basketball,” said the senior from Washington, D.C. McGloin walked on to the Commodore basketball team as a freshman and played three seasons. But he chose to leave the team during his junior year to begin planning more seriously for his future. In March, the economics and political science double major and financ and Chinese double minor was named one of 18 Luce Scholars, a nationally competitive fellowship designed to enhance the understanding of Asia among potential leaders. He’ll spend the next year in Xiamen, in the Fujian province of China, working in the basketball business division of Anta, a leading sportswear company. …

McGloin’s dream career—which he readily acknowledges is a moving target—is to be the head of an organization focused on bringing China and America closer together

I love my job (there are many similarities between Buckley and Sidwell), but I do miss the wonderful collaborations I had while at Sidwell with administration, faculty, staff students, and families.

FROM THE ARCHIVES This Used to Be Our Playground The original Eye Street campus had a lot going for it. Its West End location was convenient to many families, the meetinghouse and its classrooms offered space for labs and lectures, and it even contained the firs school gym in the city. However, the cramped urban campus had no space for something Thomas Sidwell longed for—a true outdoor playground. “It is the law of a child’s nature to play,” he declared in a 1903 speech railing against the city’s lack of public playgrounds. The establishment of public playgrounds,” he declared, “will counteract the tendency towards nervous and poorly developed bodies.”

But it wasn’t until 1910 when he and his wife, Frances Haldeman-Sidwell, purchased the defunct Washington School for Boys at 3901 Wisconsin Avenue that he was able to realize his dream. He announced the purchase to parents, boasting that for these city children “with no place to play except the dangerously congested streets of the city, it will combine thorough instruction with an unusual amount of healthful outdoor life…[I]t means that every boy and girl who develops an interest in outdoor sports or outdoor activities is building up something that will safeguard him against the temptations of life, something that is calculated to keep him sane and strong and sensible, and give him a resource against temptation.”

With more space for play than ever before on the Wisconsin Avenue campus, the School built a playground complete with, as the catalog stated, “swings, see-saws, slidingboard, giant stride.” Until the original downtown school buildings were sold following Thomas Sidwell’s death in 1936, students were bussed up to this “suburban campus” from Eye Street to enjoy the fresh air and recreational opportunities offered by the playground and surrounding athletic fields Several decades later, the School ended up purchasing another failing boys school, this time on Edgemoor Lane in Bethesda. One of the firs modification needed to transform the property into an elementary school was a playground, in fact, two playgrounds. Closer to Beverly Road, younger students could slide, dig in the sandbox, and play endless ball games on the large blacktop. To the west of Manor House, older students climbed on the Big Toy, on chain-and-tire equipment, and through tunnels.

Back on Wisconsin Avenue, with the youngest students moved up to Bethesda, the old playground was taken down to make room for the new Upper School building. With no playground equipment left to speak of, Middle School students of the 1970s through 1990s spent recess playing

games like four square and wall ball. By the early 2000s, when the School developed a campus master plan, the 5th and 6th grade teachers pushed hard to incorporate a playground for their students. Ensuring that the students both had a place to play and a voice in the matter, thenassistant principal Nina Koltnow gathered together a group of students during Minimester and selected the equipment that still stands today, next to Wannan Gym.

With only a small courtyard and no outdoor playground equipment on campus, Eye Street itself became a place to run and play.

The Lower School campus has undergone renovations of its own. The erection of the SAM building in 1990 was sorely needed to support the “specials” program, but forever changed access to the upper playground from the rest of campus. A tree fell on the Big Toy, necessitating a second Big Toy, complete with rings, monkey bars, and a climbing wall. In 2007, when the Groome Multipurpose Room could no longer simultaneously serve as a cafeteria, indoor recess space, and performing arts venue, the Lower School Gym was built, moving the lower playground up from its previous street-level elevation to an interior space closer to the Groome building.

This year has brought even more changes to the play areas on the Bethesda campus, with new equipment made from natural materials to support the School’s focus on stewardship of the natural world. With rope ladders, a nest swing, and open outdoor spaces, a new generation of Sidwell Friends students will have space to climb, swing, explore, and play (see p. 5).

In the space now known as the Sledge Garden, these students in the early 1930s have plenty of space to climb, slide, and play on the Wisconsin Avenue campus.

The lower playground, seen here circa the 1970s, is still used today for the youngest students.

Why is it so important to you to support our teachers and students?

I really believe in Sidwell’s education and would like to support the School in all means so that teachers may have continued enhancement of their professional development, students may have access to better education and sustainable resources, and athletes may have access to better coaching resources and equipment.

What do you hope students today are walking away with after attending Sidwell Friends?

Well-educated talent with a warm heart and character, and a willingness to help SFS. Students understand the SFS mission and appreciate the foundations SFS gave them for success in their careers and adult lives, and they offer proof of how deeply they feel about their school.

Why are you inspired to give to Sidwell Friends?

Sidwell was the first, life-changing domino in a long chain of events that led me to incredible places and opportunities in life. The education I received at Sidwell allowed me to attend Princeton, where more opportunities and people intersected with my life and led me on the path I am on today, 30 years after my first day at Sidwell.

What do you hope your gift accomplishes?

I hope more people are able to receive the world-class education I received at Sidwell.

What would you say to a fellow alum considering a gift to Sidwell Friends?

Sidwell cannot continue to be Sidwell without its alumni giving back. So much was given to us by the School—an academic but also life education—and it is our responsibility to give back in gratitude for what we received so future generations can benefit from the Sidwell experience, too.

Why are you inspired to give to Sidwell Friends?

Sidwell is an institution that fosters students’ critical thinking, intellectual growth, creativity, and empathy for others which, in turn, enables them to act and draw upon their best selves to make a positive difference in the world.

What would you say to fellow parents considering a gift to Sidwell Friends?

Gifts to SFS are a personal statement of your commitment to the ideals and principles that underpin the educational philosophy and, as important, the execution of that philosophy on behalf of the young people who grow up in the School’s hallways.

Thomas and Frances Sidwell Society DONORS › THOMAS AND FRANCES SIDWELL SOCIETY

In 1998, Sidwell Friends School established the Thomas and Frances Sidwell Society to recognize and show appreciation for those in the Sidwell Friends community who included the School in their estate plans. Modern-day bequests follow in the tradition of Thomas Sidwell, who survived Frances and left his estate in the care of the Board of Trustees in 1936. Bequests, charitable trusts, gift annuities, and other planned giving arrangements continue to bolster the School’s financial stability and have great bearing on every aspect of the work and future of Sidwell Friends.

Why are you inspired to give to Sidwell Friends?

I have consistently and purposefully chosen to make Sidwell Friends a priority in my philanthropic giving to demonstrate a profound appreciation for the education that I have received, the lifelong friendships that I have created, and the ongoing support and fidelity of a community that has been a constant in my life as a student, as an alum, and as a trustee.

Why is it so important to you to support our teachers and students?

My time spent at Sidwell Friends was a formative and transformational period in my life that has served me well in numerous ways. The lessons that I learned inside the classroom, on the court, or on the track were the direct result of dedicated teachers and coaches that I had the opportunity to learn from, classmates that I was able to meet, and staff members who took a genuine interest in me as a student, as an athlete, and as a member of the Sidwell Friends community. Consequently, I give back to Sidwell Friends because I want other students to have the opportunity to experience and benefit from the same opportunities that were extended to me.

What’s a favorite memory of Sidwell FriendsS? I have fond memories of reading William Shakespeare’s plays on the green behind Zartman House during my senior year.

What do you hope students today are walking away with?

I want the next generation of Sidwell Friends students and future alumni to be well-rounded, socially conscious, culturally competent, and civically engaged, empowered with the courage and conviction to lead and work toward a more equitable and just democratic society.

It is meaningful for me to give back to Sidwell to show my gratitude for all the amazing ways it changed my life.

Every teacher I had along the way at Sidwell has had a huge impact on who I’ve become today, and I recognize that the opportunity to bond and learn from your teachers outside of the classroom is especially strong at Sidwell.

In addition to the close relationships I formed with teachers, I will also always remember my experiences on Sidwell sports teams. I will always remember crosscountry Tilden hill repeats, the lacrosse trip to Virginia Beach, and my senior year swim meet. I hope that all students fully immerse themselves in the incredible Sidwell community.

Why are you inspired to give to SFS? I give to Sidwell because I believe in the power of community. The Annual Fund helps to defray the cost of tuition, opening opportunities for more students and families. I love the fact that Sidwell Friends is more accessible and inclusive because the members of our community are invested in it.

Why are you inspired to give to SFS? As the spouse of a deceased alumna (Linda J. Morgan ’69) and the father of a lifer alumna (Meredith L. Karam ’03), I am eternally grateful for not only the education that Sidwell provided to them but also the extraordinary sense of community that I have felt at SFS since Meredith enrolled in kindergarten with Mrs. Dowling and Mrs. Szoradi in September 1990.

What do you hope your gift accomplishes?

In Linda's memory, I have established a fund seeking to promote a faculty research and development center under the new strategic plan. I want Sidwell’s extraordinary faculty to be able to come together now to forge the Sidwell of 2030 so that it enhances its historic and commitment to educational excellence in the Quaker tradition. Linda let her life speak due in large part to the education she received at Sidwell. And Meredith has followed in Linda’s footsteps in that regard! I want the students who attend Sidwell in 2030 to experience the highest quality education.

What is a favorite memory of Sidwell Friends?

This may be the most difficult question of all because I have so many wonderful memories of SFS. But I think that my favorite memory is my service to the Fruit Flies, a group of dads who sold citrus to Sidwell families for pick-up at Upper School in early December. As a dad who was committed to being actively involved in Meredith’s upbringing, I found that Fruit Flies provided a wonderful sense of camaraderie, collegiality, and collaboration in a fundraising effort to benefit the Parents Association. Fruit Flies provided an opportunity for the dads to share in the fun of engagement with the School!

What would you say to a fellow parent of alumni considering a gift to Sidwell Friends?

I can think of no other institution that has had a more profound impact on my family than Sidwell Friends. Sidwell was and continues to be a welcoming community that promotes deep and critical thinking, provides a listening space for all voices to be heard, and, through its Quaker process of collaborative consensus, helps to produce informed citizens and leaders to maintain our American democracy. If any of this resonates with you, would you consider making a supportive gift to Sidwell to ensure that it continues to be an innovative academic and societal leader.
