and Phoebe Sylvester Kaylor are my neighbors ... look forward to seeing lots more of them , walking our dogs on the beach. :) I get to hear updates on Trinity from my fabulous niece, Catherine Furgueson '15 who is a freshman there." For anyone keeping track, her niece will graduate exactly a quarter century after our own final official stroLl down the Long Walk. Rob Riordan changed careers. He writes: " [ received a doctorate in clinical psychology last year, and I am currently working at U Penn in the paLliative care program with cancer patients. I will be rerurning to NYC in June in order to start a private practice." Sharon Simkiss Merhige reports that life is busy with Peter, in 8th grade, and Will, in 6th. She is stili working as a lawyer and enjoying it. The Merhige clan is gearing up for a trip to France this spring. Her niece, Emmy; who is the daughter of John '89 and Sally Young Simkiss '88, will attend Tulane University in the fall. Thanks to Steven Weinstein for an update. He is a partner specializing in health care litigation with the international law firm of K&L Gates. His 12-year-old twin boys, Brandon and Jordan , play on travel football and basketball teams. His wife's (RocheLle B. Weinstein) first novel was recently published and has been met with rave reviews and great sales. It is called What We Leave Behind and can be found on Amazon.com. l ran into Jim Dormer at the deli counter at our local grocery store here in New Hampshire. Jim was up for the weekend with his family He is living in Connecticut and working for a hedge fund in Fairfield. Sounds like he has hosted at least one fun Trinity gathering here in the woods. Based on what I see on Facebook, the youngest children of our classmates are growing quickly. Among the infant/ toddler set: Miles Poe recently smiled for the first time, Mason Coleman 'rode' his first motorcycle, Stella Seufert has big, beautiful eyes, and Liz Silva's daughter, Carlin, seems full of personality. Moving up in age: Addie and Jack St. Phillips had a great time in Disney with their dad, Peter. Jamie Smith and Maria Blackburn's daughter, Mia, was adorable (over a year ago now. .. but she was so cute that the pictures stuck with me) at her first communion. Alana Jeydel's daughter, Freya, is a happy Waldorf kid . Christine DiStefano Mown's boys keep beating me (by a lot) in Words with Friends. Kaitlin McDermott's boys are very athletic. Alexis Morledge and Alix Ogden are about to be parents of high school children. Julie Virdone Finch, Suzanne Davidson Talbot, and I have already hit that milestone. And, Arlene Angulo Kelsey is getting ready to send her son to coLlege. How it happened so quickly ... ! don't think

Greeting Fellow Members of tl1e Class of'92. It is hard for me to believe tl1at you will be receiving this copy of the Reporter around our 20th Reunion in June. I hope that all of you will attend and I look forward to seeing you there. In the meantime, let's check in on some of our classmates. Jay Villeneuve remains in tip- top shape and is planni.ng on running "Tough Mudder" this yea r
in PA. Jay works for Pepsi in ilieir IT department and is the proud dad to two girls and one boy. Jay let me know that he became very popular after my last edition of the class notes. Jay; l 'm confident you were pretty popular to begin with. I know you're big in Boca Raton , FL, and Croton-onHudson, NY, among other exotic locales where your exploits are well documented. lan Findlay wrote: "This fall , my wife, Lynn, and I watched our 6tl1 grade son, Will, playing soccer for his school, Fessenden, and our 4th grade daughter, Caroline, playing soccer for our town. As of this winter, swim team season is capruring our weekends with meets, and championships coming up! I continue to grow my company providing Flat Rate Outsourced IT services for small businesses (usually 10 -50 employees, so if you need help with your company's IT, let me know!) , and Lynn has recently sold her second business. So, we are busy, but looking forward to seeing you all in June at our 20th Reunion!" My old crew buddy, Heather Smith, sent the following: " I've been living in Saratoga Springs, NY, since moving from Princeton, NJ. in 2004 with my husband and our son. After coaching crew for !2 years after graduating from Trinity, l took a few years to enjoy being a stay-at- home mom and am now working as a fifth grade reacher in one of our local public schools. Saratoga is a terrific town and gives us easy access to the Adirondack Mountains where we enjoy hiking, backpacking, and cLimbing." As for me, I just completed a year running Montblanc's flagship store on Rodeo Drive. If any of you find yourself in Los Angeles, please come by and say hello. I just returned (and by just returned, 1 mean "I am still jet-lagged") from a trip to Hamburg, Paris, and Geneva. Hamburg was for work, and then my wife met me in Paris for about a week (without kids). We also spent rwo days in Geneva, where l was lucky enough to grab a coffee with my "little brother" from Pike, Chris Piliero '94. Thank you to those that submitted updates. l look forward to seeing all of you 'Neath the Elms in June! All the best, Eric.

Greetings to classmates here, there, and everywhere. As the holiday season came and went, 1 was happy to peruse letters outlining the adventures of old friends and to admire the photos of their adorable offspring. After this outpouring of good cheer, it seems that many of us began to suffer collectively from Winter Hibernation Syndrome, a well - known cause of that reticence to communicate that often flourishes during the colder months of the year. Since only two hardy classmates braved the bluster of winter to post their missives to your dutiful class sc ribe, this edition will briefly shine a spotlight on a small constellation rwinkling with no more than a pair of stars. After many years of absence from these pages, Corey Corrick checked 111 with an update that TRINITY REPORTER
