and the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness. They made a trip to Niagara Falls then to the Adirondacks to enjoy a reunion with some of Kathy’s Pi Phi sisters Barb (Linden) Heintz ’77, Mary Jo Dirkes ’77, Molly (Brewer) Hoeg ’77, and Julie (Ozaki) Modaff ’77. They finished the summer enjoying several Canadian national parks around Banff and Radium Hot Springs. For 2023, they are looking forward to more days spent with their kids and grandsons and traveling around the United States and Canada. Perhaps they will see you down the road. ❯ Tim Loch retired in July 2021 after spending 26 years as an engineering manager for Exelon nuclear power plants. He says retirement has been a lot of fun so far. “It’s surprising how much time I can spend playing pickleball and golf. You’d think I’d be improving, but it’s not happening yet.” His wife, Mary, is still working but will likely retire later this year. They currently spend most of the summer at their house in Williams Bay, Wisconsin, and spend the winter in Glen Ellyn, Illinois. This past summer they had a nice trip to Bristol, England, for their daughter Carmel’s wedding; she currently lives and works there. Their son Dylan lives in Frisco, Colorado. He motivated Tim to buy an Epic season pass so they can ski together during visits. As of press time, he is recovering from a broken wrist after being run over by a reckless snowboarder at Keystone. His youngest son, Dustin ’16, and his girlfriend, Clara (a Knox grad), along with their dog, Heath, a Great Pyrenees, are living with them and looking to buy a house in the area soon. ❯ Tom Daker reports that he went to the Knox golf outing this past August and saw Coach Knosher. He is currently in Palm Desert for the month of January, playing golf, tennis, pickleball, swimming, etc. In March, he will be in Naples, Florida, doing the same activities. His son lives in Los Angeles and his daughter lives near him in Chicago. He is planning to go to our 45th and will bring his racquets in case anyone wants to join him on the courts. ❯ As for me, I continue to dote on my two-year-old granddaughter and enjoy our children who are still here in Colorado working remotely, although, sadly, it looks like two of them will need to head back to NYC this summer, taking with them my sweet two-year-old and my heart strings. Finally, as mentioned above, this is the year for our 45th reunion (October 27-29). I hope all of you can make it.

Eric Jackstadt traveled with Kathy O’Brien to Ft. Jackson in Columbia, South Carolina, “to see my son, David, graduate from his Army Captain’s Career Course for the Adjutant General Branch on December 8. We spent the day with him afterwards and then headed to Beaufort, South Carolina, in the low country where we spent two days with Jim Nehf and his wife, Laura, at their beautiful home on St. Helena Island. We toured the town (saw the house where The Big Chill was filmed) and took in a couple museums including Penn Center. We enjoyed a shrimp boil and we had crab cakes and really enjoyed the stay. Saturday night Jim and I phoned Brian Cox to get a refresher on the ‘yay-boo’ game and had a good laugh. Jim is still a law professor at Indiana-Indianapolis where he teaches contracts, consumer law, and commercial transactions. He authors a couple of textbooks as well, the slacker. I am still practicing law, mostly toxic torts litigation. I will get it right one of these days. It was a wonderful visit with Jim and Laura and Kathy and I hope to do it again soon.” ❯ Brian Sullivan is the proud grandfather of a six-month-old granddaughter named Brooklyn. She was born to son Brady and wife Nina, who make their home in Whitefish Bay, Wisconsin. Brian is the director of Parks and Recreation for the Village of Hawthorn Woods in northern Lake County, Illinois. This makes it easier for him and his wife, Laurie, to visit and babysit often.

She is thoroughly enjoying retirement and splitting her time between Maine and northwestern lower Michigan, two places she loves. ❯ John Drake wishes all a very happy New Year! John has been busy with music the last couple of years, having released 20 songs in 2022 on a number of streaming platforms (under the name John G Drake—apparently there are a ton of John Drakes out there!) John has more to come in 2023 and has been performing around Illinois and Missouri as a solo act and with his band. Some Knox friends have shown up at some of his performances in the Chicago area: Frank Jozefiak, Chuck Janczy ’81, Jim Demikis ’78, Anne Veague and Rick Veague ’79. John said it’s always great seeing Knox friends. He is performing in Galesburg in January at Reserve Artisan Ales and plans to return later in the year. ❯ Joy Frestedt reports she is celebrating her first granddaughter’s birthday in January 2023 and is also celebrating 15 years of leading Frestedt, Inc., in February 2023.
