Jalil Afridi ’93 with his sons, Shayan and Abdullah, and his wife Shandana
How did that happen?” (Hopefully, I’m not the only one thinking this…) So, what have I been up to lately? I live in Monterey with my husband, Russ, who is an engineer/firefighter with the Piedmont Fire Department (Oakland area). We celebrated our 6th wedding anniversary last December and have two amazing (and very active) boys! Ethan is 5 years old and will start Kindergarten in the fall; Aidan is 4 and will be in Pre-K. The boys keep us busy with soccer, swimming, T-ball, and more — never a dull moment, that’s for sure. Every so often, I run into local classmates around town who are out and about with their families, and we are fortunate that our boys get to grow up with my sister and brother-in-law’s [Amy ’91 and Joe Rheim ’89] girls. In May 2014, I sold my Monterey Fit4Mom/Stroller Strides business, as it was becoming more difficult to manage a pre/postnatal fitness business and teach full-time at the same time. Two years ago, I returned to the classroom; I’ve been teaching 4th-8th grades in various subjects at Chartwell School in Seaside. This has been my 10th year of teaching and this coming fall, I will substitute teach so that I can be home with our boys. I am looking forward to catching up with my fellow 1990 classmates this June!

1993 Jalil Afridi ’93 I came to visit Stevenson along with my sons, Shayan and Abdullah, and my wife Shandana. It was like a dream come true. Good luck to Mr. Wandke after retirement and salute to the services he has rendered to Stevenson. Best wishes to all the alumni and faculty of Stevenson. Have a great 2015.
1995 Ryan Anderson ’95 Learning to love the ups and downs: We recently went on a vacation to Martinique Island and stayed at Club Med. Speaking French, tanning on the beach, and sailing with the grandparents (Indiana Jones type of grandparents); Building sand castles and learning to wind surf and wakeboard. Good times, but we are learning that the best memories we are having aren’t necessarily the vacations but rather the challenges that we have faced as a family and then worked through the tough times into the easy times. It’s transforming. We are very thankful to be working hard to have a tight family, growing real estate company, and a hope-filled faith.
Neelam Jain ’95 I am happy to share the news that my son, Tej Thomas Weber, was born on November 1 and happily welcomed by big sister Devi Jain Weber (age 2). I continue to work as a clinical neuropsychologist and I play the oboe in the Memphis Wind Symphony. I am excited for the Class of ’95 20th reunion this summer!
