Andy Barclay wrote that “he was accepted in to the Independent Insurance Agents of Texas Leadership Academy at the University of Dallas College of Business. It is described as a mini-MBA program for aspiring principals and managers in our industry. I am learning a lot of great stuff that complements my St. Stephen’s and Texas Tech experiences. My son, John Barclay, is doing well. He’s 18 months, walking and getting into everything. Life is good!” Tracey Herman Shababo and her family were so happy that they moved to the Bay Area instead of Boston last summer. This first year on the West Coast has been a new adventure, and the Shababo family loves to hang out with fellow Bay Area resident, Jane Leibrock. Tracey continues to work as the registrar at Circus Center while Ben pursues his Ph.D. in neuroscience. “I’ve attached a picture of me and my daughter, July, and Sara Bremen Rabstenek and her daughter, Dorothy, from last fall. It’s old but cute!”
