Fall 2022 Journal

THE SWEETEST SOUNDS

On a beautiful fall afternoon, I sat in my office interviewing a teaching candidate, for while we complete our hiring process early each spring, there are many who aspire to join us and hope to get a head-start on the process. On such an afternoon, with my office windows open, the give-and-take of the conversation gave way to a question I had not been asked before: “How do you get any work done in this office?” Although I will acknowledge that my own work habits are occasionally less effective than they might be, I did not think that fact was so transparent. So I asked her what she meant. The answer was a delight.

It turned out that her attention was drawn quickly and completely away from our conversation to the joyous murmur of lower schoolers moving to and from the garden and the playground. She confessed she had not heard such a symphony and wondered aloud why and how I could not be constantly distracted. We got up together, peered out of the window and listened together for a moment. I’ll remember her name when the time comes to hire.

In truth, the music of that daily Lower School parade has been the soundtrack to my life for almost fifteen years. The sounds of our school — in the building, on the fields and tennis courts, in the McAneny Theater and practice rooms, the hallways, classrooms and campus center and the upper and lower gyms — tell stories as vivid and revealing as any we might capture with a photograph, video or a new building. From the Behr House patio, I can tell which Panther team is finishing well or falling short on Baker, Smoyer or Pagoda by the roar or groan that wafts over the tree line that cloisters that beautiful home. When the breeze is just right (from the southeast), I can make out every word spoken on the tennis courts. As I sit at my desk now, I can close my eyes and imagine the anticipation of the new school day as car doors open and close. At this moment, Renée Price is regaling a middle schooler with the strains of “Happy Birthday,” and Chris Devlin is making new friends with each car he welcomes. The promise of the day arrives first through its sounds, and it is simply glorious.

Follow the path and progress of the school through its sounds: the Middle School rushing to the playground, the Lower School filling the theater for the first time with sighs of wonder and amazement, the Upper School rising in ecstasy when one of its own has finished their first talk on that broad, beckoning stage. And the faint sounds I can hear through my office walls, as a little one clamors into the Health Office with a scraped knee and slightly bruised confidence. When a senior comes to share news with Director of College Counseling Sarah Graham, I can tell from my office whether it is a dream realized or postponed. The day welcomes me as I enter the Lower School and round the corner to hear the hum and buzz of early-arriving lower schoolers in the Gymateria; as I exit the building at the end my day, it is often to the strains of a Chopin étude or Schubert impromptu escaping one of the music practice rooms. And the sound of carpool in the afternoon — raucous, cacophonous, sometimes impatient — is this large, vibrant community breathing a heavy sigh at the end of the long day.

When you are next on campus, roll down your window or park yourself on one of the many benches that flank the circle. Put your phone away, lean your head back and listen to our school in action. You may never hear anything sweeter.

With deep respect,

Paul J. Stellato Head of School

Last May, Upper School students made their glorious return to the McAneny Theater for a captivating performance of Ranked, A Musical Telling the story of a dystopian world where academic excellence reigns supreme and where grades — and, yes, rankings — define each student’s worth, the show resonated deeply with the audience and the cast.

“I’m proud to have participated in a show with such a strong message about academics and its effect on the mental health of teens,” said Laurel Masciantonio ’23.

“It was especially rewarding to work on material that directly relates to the student experience. It is rare to find a script that speaks to the current moment for teenagers in a way that resonates and allows them to explore issues that directly affect them,” said Stan Cahill, director of performing and fine arts. “Thanks to the entire community for celebrating our return, and a special thanks to the cast and crew who stuck with the project, even as we navigated an ever-changing schedule.”

Edgar Mariano, vocal coach and music teacher, agreed.

“The performers were incredibly talented, diverse in their vocal styles and hardworking. They learned the music quickly and put in extra time to make sure they had it down by the next rehearsal,” he shared.

Despite the deep enthusiasm from Cahill and Mariano, no one was more eager for the return to the stage than the cast and crew.

“After two and a half years of not being able to perform, blessing and an experience I’ll never forget,” reflected Joe Lippman ’22.

WHAT IT’S ALL

ABOUT

When Katie Fay enters the Princeton Day School Athletic Center, she’s immediately greeted by colleagues and students, each eager to say a quick hello. Once she makes it to a table in the Linville Lobby, she drops her bag, turns and strides towards the fieldhouse where the girls’ varsity volleyball team is practicing. “I’ll be right back,” she calls. “I just want to grab a quick picture. They look great today!”

Fay’s energy and enthusiasm are infectious, and her deep belief in the mission and philosophy of Panther Athletics, along with her unwavering support of her athletes and coaches is unmatched.

“Katie knows every player, their strengths and how to both build them up and gently push them. She cares about accountability and the culture she shapes,” said Scott Bertoli, associate director of athletics and director of middle school athletics.

Fay’s career at PDS began in 2009 as the associate director of the Annual Fund. She became director of annual giving in 2010 and, in 2013, took on the role of director of capital giving for the Thrive! Campaign. In the fall of 2020, Fay was named the director of athletics and physical education.

“I loved working in the Advancement Office,” said Fay. “At the same time, I knew I wanted to find my way back to athletics. I’m grateful that PDS is so supportive of faculty and staff who want to grow into other roles on campus.”

“Katie’s rigorous attention to detail — together with her discipline, optimism and abiding love of competition — has allowed our school’s athletic and physical education programs to flourish. She opened and ran a new athletic center in the midst of a pandemic, expanded varsity competition to include the finest independent and public school competition and continues to watch proudly as our athletes win team and individual honors. I can’t wait to see what she has in store for our program in the coming years,” said Head of School Paul Stellato.

An exceptional athlete in her own right, Fay’s list of accolades is lengthy. A star backstroker at Deerfield Academy in Massachusetts, she was named a High School First Team All-American swimmer. She went on to become a four-year Division I athlete, first earning a second-team All-Ivy League recognition at Brown University before transferring to Duke where she was named an All-ACC finalist three years in a row.

“I know what it was like to be a student-athlete, and I know how vital my coaches were, not only to my development in the pool, but across the board in academics and in life. I want to have that same impact on the students here at PDS,” she shared.

She does. Not only did Fay guide PDS athletics through two years of Covid uncertainty, she’s worked hard to advance the program state-wide.

“Paul [Stellato] has been incredibly supportive in every way,” said Fay of the head of school. “Especially through Covid. He felt strongly that we would find a way to keep the athletic program in person for our students. Because of him, we did.”

At the same time, Fay was continuing the work started years prior to have PDS join the New Jersey State Interscholastic Athletic Association (NJSIAA). Membership in the association means a longer season, more visibility and accolades for our student-athletes and more chances for them to hone their skills. It also allowed the boys’ hockey program to accept an invitation to join the Gordon Conference, an elite league of the strongest hockey programs in the state.

“We had an incredible inaugural year as members of the NJSIAA — we made it to three state championship games and took home our first NJSIAA State Championship last spring with the girls’ lacrosse program. I’m proud of those achievements and of the accomplishments of so many teams and individuals last year,” Fay said. “I am also grateful for all the hard work that others did before me to make the membership possible.”

This year, one of Fay’s goals is to continue building school spirit — not just in athletics, but campus-wide.

“I tell the players that if you want a huge student cheering section, you have to be a huge cheering section. That means going to gallery openings, garden clean-ups and plays and musicals. That’s how our school pride will explode and how we’ll expand our extraordinary culture of community,” Fay said.

“That’s what it’s all about.”

Attic treasures shine once more in “Anne Reid: 50 Years”

The handsome clapboard house on Westcott Road in Princeton is warm and welcoming, filled with an impressive variety of original artwork by three generations of the Reid family. However, it was the art not on display that caused the most excitement last spring. Over 200 works by Anne Reid ’72 were rediscovered by Anne’s brother, Archie Reid PCD ’65, and his wife, Karen, carefully tucked away in a third-floor bedroom. The find became the catalyst for a unique exhibit that celebrated Anne’s artistry in the gallery named in her memory.

Archie, who now owns the home where he and his siblings grew up, was amazed at the extent of the work and its excellent condition.

“Much of her art is hung around the house, but I haven’t looked through these portfolios in some time,” he said quietly, leafing through the pages. “She really was an amazing artist.”

Anne, known not only for her art but also for her exceptional athleticism, ebullient personality and generosity of spirit, passed away in a motor vehicle accident just three years after graduating from PDS.

“I always envisioned featuring Anne’s work,” said Gwen Shockey ’06, visual arts teacher and director of the Anne Reid ’72 Gallery. “It was a treat to be invited into the Reid home and discover Anne’s wide array of talents. Archie and Karen were wonderfully helpful. They pulled out portfolio after portfolio — it felt like Christmas.”

Shockey took the newfound treasures back to PDS and enlisted students to help comb through the collection and mount the show.

“Hearing the students’ reactions to Anne’s work was thrilling. They are so used to her name being associated with the gallery, but this allowed us all to feel connected to her in a new way,” she said. “Anne’s figure drawings were just exquisite and you can tell through her sketch book that she had a sense of humor. It was a privilege and a very intimate process.”

Sumaiyya Malik ’24, a photography student and co-head of the Gallery Club, offered to help Shockey select which pieces to exhibit, a lengthy and time-consuming process.

“Anne’s art was all really beautiful, and it was hard trying to filter it,” said Malik. “We decided on about 60 pieces we thought were unique and showed off her style and personality. I really enjoy art curation, so this experience was really cool, especially since Anne was an alumna. I felt we had a special connection. We also found her writing, poetry and journals. It was nice to see a student from 50 years ago who, like myself, was passionate about visual arts and writing, being honored this way.”

On May 11, 2022, Anne’s carefully preserved work re-emerged in a retrospective aptly titled “Anne Reid: 50 Years.” The opening reception coincided with her classmates’ 50th reunion and was a fitting way to kick off their Alumni Weekend celebrations.

“The exhibition was perfect,” Archie said. “Gwen and the students did exceptional work, and it’s great they had a chance to try their hand at curation.”

“It was beautiful, the way she and her students set it up and mounted it,” Karen agreed.

The Reids are particularly pleased that some of the pieces that had languished in the attic are now enlivening the apartment of their son, John.

A FOUNDATION FOR GROWTH

It was rare for a school to have an art gallery in the 1960s. But, thanks to the vision, determination and skills of Arlene Smith, head of the art department for over 30 years, PDS was lucky to be among the first. Smith, who joined the Miss Fine’s School faculty in 1960 and continued at PDS until her retirement in 1997, saw the gallery’s value as a teaching tool. She lobbied to transform a passageway between the gym and theater into an exhibition space that hosted several shows a year. Smith also requisitioned a nearby broom closet and converted it into the school’s first photography lab. Anne, and thousands of other students, many of whom went on to professional careers in the arts, were products of her vision.

“Arlene lit up my imagination at just the right time,” said Phoebe Knapp ’67, a sculptor whose work is exhibited in museums, outdoor venues and private homes across the country. “She always challenged me to do better, to do more and become something. She was offhand and casual in her comments but there was a core of seriousness and dedication which impressed me deeply. I loved her veiled impatience and her sense of complicity in something unnamed and big.”

Smith, now 97 and living on Long Island, remembers her time working with the students fondly.

“I made a point to teach to the individual. They all had some talent or other,” she said. “The kids felt they had a special spot in the art room, and that was important in my view. I expected excellence. The kids knew it, they felt it and they produced it.”

Always chic under the distinctive white lab coat she wore instead of a smock, Smith insisted on originality.

Smith P’71

“She was always raising the bar and supporting us in thinking about how to get to a vision that we had. It was really powerful to be a young person and have someone help project your vision into reality. If I imagined an 8-by-10-foot canvas, she’d take me out after school to buy the stretchers,” said Gala Westheimer Narezo ’84, who fashioned a career that blends art with mindfulness and social awareness. “Arlene always treated us like we could do it. She never talked down to us, but would comment and make suggestions in a direct yet respectful way.”

“I had an art teacher in eighth grade who praised my work and it gave me such confidence,” Smith recalled. “I consciously tried to instill that same confidence in my own students.”

“After coming to PDS in seventh grade, I found Arlene was as excited as I was to make things,” marveled John Battle ’71, master blacksmith and metal sculptor who has exhibited in Boston and New York. Seeing his eagerness to work in metal, Smith agreed to dedicate a corner of the art room for welding. “It was a powerful vote of confidence in a young middle schooler and an invaluable lesson in making things happen. She provided a fireproof curtain, had a commercial fan put in the wall, purchased a welding table, hoses, welding nozzles, helmets, gloves and rented oxy-acetylene tanks. It was thrilling!”

Smith’s widespread impact was evident at a 1984 exhibition of alumni work from across the country that included furniture, fashion sketches, photographs, paintings, sculptures, silk screen designs, architectural renderings, cartoons, designs for book covers and even prototypes of the spaceships and aliens seen in the first “Star Wars’’

film. Closer to home, Jody Erdman ’72, a friend of Anne’s and a student of Smith’s, followed in her mentor’s footsteps when she served as gallery director for 20 years before passing her stewardship to Shockey.

NEW USES, ORIGINAL PURPOSE

In 2007, the gallery moved to a new location, directly opposite the school’s main entrance and adjacent to the expansive Matthews Arts Wing. After closing for two years during the pandemic, its reopening last fall was greeted with extraordinary enthusiasm.

“The idea of extending its use as a performance space came from the students,” Shockey said. “We had an open mic night and it was so fun. The gallery was packed. We had students out in the hallway trying to watch and we read poems and had musical performances. There was such energy. Now, even kids who aren’t particularly interested in art are showing up, and I’m thrilled.”

“It’s a safe space where we feel comfortable and anyone can go there at any time,” Malik added.

Smith’s contributions are still in evidence and serve as a vivid example of the way PDS encourages and supports master teachers, enabling them to fulfill their dreams. In turn, faculty model the vision, resourcefulness and confidence that emboldens their students to take risks, accept challenges and explore new directions.

And that is an outcome that Anne, with her curiosity and sense of adventure, would applaud.

I had an art teacher in eighth grade who praised my work and it gave me such confidence. I consciously tried to instill that same confidence in my own students.

HANDLE WITH CARE

Two curators from the Class of 1994 share how their time at PDS helped them find their artful calling

“I didn’t even know art history existed as a field of study or a career option before I took Seth Baranoff’s art history class at PDS,” said Marika Sardar ’94. “I think he was probably the catalyst for several of us who went on to study it. I know there was a direct connection between that class and my track in college.”

Today, Sardar is a curator and museum consultant specializing in Islamic art. She has worked at the Aga Khan Museum in Toronto, Canada; the Museum of Islamic Art in Doha, Qatar; the San Diego Museum of Art; and the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. She holds a master’s degree and a Ph.D. in Islamic art and archaeology from New York University’s Institute of Fine Arts.

“There are so many opportunities in museum jobs — conservation, curating, teaching — but I found I really enjoy having access to the objects directly,” Sardar said of her decision to focus on curation.

“Although I didn’t consider myself an art student at PDS, I took classes with Arlene Smith and Jerry Hirniak which was valuable exposure because then, as a curator, you have a better appreciation for the art under your care.”

Sardar is grateful to have found such a fulfilling outlet for her interest in art.

“I was working at the Met when they were redoing the Islamic galleries. It was after 9/11, very relevant, and we were thinking about how to explain the history of a region, its culture and its approach to art over the centuries. We knew it would have an impact beyond just looking at it; you’re hopefully shaping opinions and understanding of places and peoples.”

Her classmate, Veronica Maria White ’94, agreed.

“While I didn’t take art history courses until my undergraduate years when I became interested in how interdisciplinary the field is, in a lot of ways, PDS set the foundation for me in terms of encouraging interdisciplinary thinking before it became fashionable,” said White. “Faculty made interesting connections across writing, literature and science, and my photography classes got me thinking about composition and subject matter.”

White earned her bachelor’s degree from Princeton University and received a Ph.D. from Columbia University where she specialized in Italian Renaissance and Baroque art. She served as a postdoctoral fellow at the Morgan Library and Museum in New York and went on to teach at Columbia, Rutgers University and Vassar College.

Currently serving as the curator of teaching and learning at Princeton University’s Art Museum, White is a liaison between academic departments and the museum.

“I love teaching, and the Teacher Assistant Program at PDS was my first taste of it. The faculty were amazing,” she said. “When you have to say things out loud and explain things to someone else, regardless of their age, there are questions that make you think about the material differently and more deeply. Looking at art through different disciplinary lenses, I have realized that the range of possibilities is so much greater than I had ever dreamed.”

Rooted Learning

How do you start a garden?

Plant a seed, nurture it and see what grows. That’s exactly what happened at Princeton Day School — only the seed grew into something much bigger than a garden.

Looking at the 100-or-so-square-foot plot today, with its dense masses of greenery, neat rows of raised beds, flowering native plants and arbor of trailing vines, there’s no sign that this growth took root

in less-than-hospitable conditions. But a New Jersey master gardener took one look at the site and its hard-packed clay, which had been backfill for a new construction project, and declared that nothing would ever grow there.

It turns out, everything would grow there.

Armloads of wildflowers — passionfruit, poppies, fuzzy fuchsia celosia — herbs, esoteric vegetables like spinner gourds and kohlrabi, bamboo. But most significantly, the entire sustainability initiative, which, 14 years later, is part of the school’s core philosophy and curriculum.

That feat may have been even more difficult than coaxing bamboo to grow in rocky soil because it required fundamental systemic change. The kind of change that doesn’t happen as the result of a once-ayear plant sale or awareness day. From the beginning, the goal was to weave sustainability into the fabric of everyday life, to make it the default choice, the rule and not an exception. “If we’re going to leave our students the future we want them to have, sustainability has to become a part of everything,” says Jessica Clingman, the newly appointed director of sustainability and environmental education. “It’s in everybody’s interest for this movement to be as widespread as possible, and for people to see that everyone has a space in this work.”

Although sustainability has become a popular buzzword, it can still be a daunting concept, one that makes many people anxious, not enthusiastic. But Clingman sees an opportunity here. “Having a rigorous academic school like PDS embrace sustainability this way sets an example that all the things you associate with a highly competitive day school can coexist and flourish with sustainability,” she says. “We can lead others.”

A Grassroots Effort

The success of the sustainability initiative can be found more in what you don’t see on the grounds than what you do. For instance, in the cafeteria, which is run by FLIK Independent School Dining and only one of four independent schools nationwide that’s four-star certified by the Green Restaurant Association, you won’t find any single-use plastics. All cutlery is stainless steel, plastic straws are a thing of the past, the napkins are recycled and compostable and a yogurt bar with reusable bowls saves 10,000 containers from the landfill. Clingman also worked with FLIK on creating an iced coffee bar to avoid the scourge of food deliveries, and staff and students are encouraged to bring their own mugs.

You’d be hard-pressed to find a single plastic water bottle on the grounds today — all water fountains have bottle-filling stations

— but in 2005, they were standard-issue at snacktime in the Lower School, much to the dismay of English teacher and former sustainability coordinator Liz Cutler. So, she proposed a fun math project to the staff: Have their students count how many water bottles were used in a week. In a month. How far they would stretch if you laid them end to end. The project caught the attention of a local newspaper and eventually, the majority of single-use water bottles were eliminated.

This small victory got Cutler thinking about other ways she could work sustainability into the curriculum and into life at the school in general. She decided what they really needed was a garden. “My vision was that you can teach anything in a garden,” she says.

To raise literal seed money for the project, ceramics students made and sold coffee mugs, replacing disposable cups. The proceeds paid for fencing; everything else, including tools and labor, was donated by students, staff, faculty and families. It wasn’t a lack of funding so much as a deliberate effort on Cutler’s part to get buy-in from the community. She felt the garden would mean more to people if they had invested something in it, and envisioned a day “like an Amish barn raising” to kick it all off.

Things almost went off without a hitch, but the day before nearly 200 people were due to show up for the groundbreaking, Cutler got word that the fencing delivery had been delayed. She ended up driving to the supplier herself and wrestling the fencing into the back of the school truck.

In spite of those efforts, the garden wasn’t initially a success. The 24 raised beds quickly became weed gardens because no one understood how to use them, nor did they have the time for garden maintenance. The solution came in the form of Pam Flory, who taught one of the summer camp classes, and who was brought on as garden coordinator. With a dedicated person to run the garden, programming could finally begin. “Liz used to always say to me, ‘Your main goal when you have kids out here is to make them fall in love with nature,’” Flory says. “‘Because we save what we love.’”

It wasn’t a hard sell. Most kids loved being outside and experiencing their lessons in a hands-on way. “The first thing the kids get to do in the garden is taste whatever is available,” says Flory. She likes to show them how to pluck a leaf of lemon sorrel and another of stevia and wrap one inside the other to make what she calls “nature’s Sour Patch Kid.” The sweet-sour combo is always a hit.

Surprisingly, winter spinach is also popular. Flory says that’s because it’s also sweet, but something about young children clamoring for a bite of a leafy green speaks to the power of the garden. “Focusing on sensory experiences — tasting, touching, smelling — that’s the magic,” she says. The scent of lemon verbena, the buzz of bees, the feel of soil in their hands are all things even the most nature-shy kids came to love.

By design, students in the lower grades visit the garden weekly. One of the first projects every year is to dig up potatoes planted by students the previous spring. These will later be cooked and mashed as part of a lesson. In the spring, the class will plant a new crop for the following year’s incoming first graders.

It was decided early on that Flory would work with faculty members and create the garden curriculum to incorporate real projects that needed to happen in the garden, like harvesting and planting

potatoes. A math class might be tasked with counting spinner gourds or identifying examples of the Golden Ratio in nature, for instance, while science students learn about a plant’s life cycle and history lessons incorporate ways people preserved food before refrigeration.

You Can Teach Anything in a Garden

Word quickly got around, and soon the older grades wanted to experience the garden, too. “There is nothing better than a little bit of positive peer pressure,” laughs Flory. Spanish classes planted a salsa garden. There’s also a rain garden and an African diaspora garden with okra and cowpeas. One student suggested a corn maze. “Kids always have the best ideas,” she says.

Flory attributes much of the garden’s success to the amount of agency that’s given to the students. “When you ask, ‘What is important to you right now and what do you want to do about it?,’ it’s so much more meaningful to them and makes them more likely to participate and follow through.”

Few of the projects that start in the garden stay there. Each year, the third grade collects seeds from the annuals and perennials and packages them in paper packets decorated with drawings they do in art class. Proceeds from the seed sale help fund the garden. This collaborative nature also extends to other local schools that get leftover seeds as donations.

The garden attracts plenty of bees, which helps the kids learn about pollination and, with the help of faculty member Aaron Schomburg, harvest honey to sell. There are also eggs from chickens, which are hatched each year by the first graders and kept in a pen outside the garden. Most are eventually given away, save for a fluffy white hen named Marshmallow to whom the kids became very attached. The chickens are also used to teach middle schoolers about sex education and that “reproduction is happening all around them, all the time,” says Flory. You really can teach anything in a garden.

With so much learning happening outside, it made sense to add an outdoor classroom. The covered space has WiFi and a chalkboard, and seating made by students out of reclaimed wood from trees that had come down during a storm. “It’s a great space to feel connected with nature as you learn,” says Clingman.

The seed was still growing. A retention basin was turned into a meadow, and a clay oven added for making pizza and roasting vegetables. While Flory did her best to extend the growing season — and students’ time in the garden — as much as possible with cold frames on all the raised beds, winter still proved a challenge. Students plant as late as they can into October, and then in November when the bee population has disappeared, they turn their efforts to composting.

But Flory saw an opportunity to teach great lessons on either side of the growing season with the addition of a greenhouse. There was one on the grounds, but it was small, old and in poor shape. It caught the eye of Eric Rempe, who was interviewing for a position as a ceramics teacher. “I was told they were going to tear it down and build a new one, and they were looking for a manager,” he recalls. Rempe, a lifelong gardening enthusiast, ended up with both jobs. Though the greenhouse was originally conceived as a place to grow seedlings for the garden, Rempe had bigger plans. “The charge to me was to incorporate the greenhouse into as many different departments as possible,” he says.

He set about filling the 42-foot long climate-controlled greenhouse with as wide a variety of botanical species as possible, representing different growing regions from around the world. At the start of the 2022 school year, there was both a vanilla planifolia, the tropicaldwelling orchid that produces the vanilla bean, and a cacao tree, which grows the alien-looking pods whose seeds are used to make chocolate. (While vanilla pollination is a bit more difficult, lowerschool students did learn to make chocolate from scratch).

“When students care about these plants, that makes them care more about the environment these plants grow in,” Rempe says. “Making students care about the natural world is a big part of the definition of sustainability.”

Many of the plants are from Rempe’s personal collection, and he’ll swap in whatever’s blooming so visitors can enjoy them. There are air plants, which grow without soil, a spiral aloe that’s a great living example of the Fibonacci series, and cactus and other succulents that survive some of the harshest habitats in the world. Easily the most popular are the carnivorous plants like Venus flytraps and pitcher plants. “Kids love hearing about plants that eat bugs,” he says. “You’ll see their attention level goes through the roof when they’re holding something in their hands they’ve learned about in class.”

Though the greenhouse serves as a classroom for lessons about everything from hydroponics to terrariums, it’s also a place of respite for both students and staff. “There are countless studies you can cite about the health benefits of being around plants,” Rempe says. He will never forget the day a fourth grade student walked up after a class, wrapped her arms around his legs and thanked him profusely. “She was so joyful that she had been able to spend a half-hour there,” he recalls.

The greenhouse opens up to a courtyard, which underwent what Rempe calls a “TV show transformation” (done in part by architecture teacher David Burkett), and now has become a go-to spot for lunches, meetings or taking a tranquil break.

Even with the addition of the greenhouse — or maybe because it piqued new interest from members of the staff about ways to use the garden — “There wasn’t enough Pam to go around,” Cutler recalls. She was planning to retire and her parting wish was to see the sustainability role she carved out become a full-time position. So PDS made two more hires: Tomia MacQueen, who splits her time between the garden and the new teaching kitchen, and Jessica Clingman.

Both hires were, much like Eric Rempe, happy coincidences. MacQueen had applied for a teaching job, but after seeing her extensive background in organic gardening and passion for food and nutrition, her interviewers asked if she might be interested in becoming the teaching kitchen coordinator and garden assistant instead. She eagerly accepted.

The vision for the four-workspace kitchen, much like that of the garden, is to use experiential learning to reinforce the principles that have become so core to the school. The director of sustainability and environmental education position was created to oversee that vision campus-wide, and make sure the seedlings of change continue to grow. But tending to that is a special effort; watering is one of the hardest jobs in the garden.

Luckily, Clingman, a veteran science teacher and environmental advocate lets her passion drive her.

“There is nothing that sustainability doesn’t touch,” she says. “And we are in this unique place, surrounded by experts and people who care. We have such potential for these students to not only learn about the work being done, but to experience it.”

And they have. In the garden. In the cafeteria, where FLIK offers vegan options daily and regular “low-impact” lunches that don’t require turning on any appliances to teach kids about the energy required to cook. In the parking lot, where a no-car-idling policy inspired car magnets that say “Panthers Don’t Idle.” At pep rallies, which are balloon-free and offer reusable water bottles.

“We’ve been sold the idea that disposable is great,” says Clingman. Unlearning that doesn’t happen overnight, and change has to come from more than one place. “If there was just one solution to sustainability, we would fix it,” she says. “We need everybody. These kids are going to be living in a different world than we were all growing up in, and we have to give them the skills to deal with it, and the optimism and resiliency to feel they are capable of making change in the world.”

The latter is also key to combating eco-anxiety, which is on the rise, especially in youth. To that end, sustainability initiatives grow with the student. Elementary-age children start in the garden learning about compost; as they get older, they’ll dive into climate change.

The school has a number of programs that focus on climate change and related issues, including EnAct, a student-run environmental club that has been around since the late 1980s; and two groups students can apply to join that help them learn about environmental issues and engage with experts on the subjects: Energy Climate Scholars and the brand new Climate Corps.

Knowing that other people, including fellow students and trusted adults, care about these issues can help kids deal with eco-anxiety, says Clingman, as can having ways to take action. EnAct, for instance, shares responsibility for hosting the annual Fall Harvest Festival, arranges conferences on energy and climate and has had Fridays for the Future awareness marches. Kids in the Energy Climate Scholars program meet with local climate experts, scientists and nonprofit leaders to discuss environmental issues.

Right now, Clingman is focused on documenting the existing sustainability measures so that the program can be adopted by anyone, anywhere. But she is also looking ahead. By spearheading the new Climate Action Plan Steering Committee, Clingman says carbon neutrality at PDS is “definitely something we are striving for in the future.”

She doesn’t doubt that these goals are achievable, particularly with the strong support from school officials. “There is a deep commitment from administration for this program to continue and expand,” she says. “Almost every time I ask whether we can start a new initiative or expand a program, the answer is yes.”

Key to all those efforts, though, is changing attitudes about what sustainability is, and what it can be. “A lot of people associate sustainability with the end of fun,” Clingman says.

“But to me, it just means the fun can last forever.”

How Does a Garden Grow?

With patience, care and the support of the extraordinary community members that make PDS a philanthropic priority.

In a private ceremony on a breezy summer afternoon, the PDS Garden officially became the Suarez Grebowich Garden named in memory of Tom Suarez P’17 and Elizabeth Grebowich GP’17. Suzanne Suarez P’17 and Chris Suarez ’17 gathered with family to remember and celebrate their departed loved ones while enveloped by beauty and tranquility.

“The Suarez family has been a part of our community for decades, and this gift shows their lifetime devotion to Princeton Day School. Giving the garden the name of their dearest family members is profoundly touching for all of us on the Great Road. It is an honor that is beyond words,” said Kathy Schulte, assistant head of school for advancement and strategic priorities.

As the new plaque that sits at the garden entrance displays, the Suarez Grebowich Garden is, indeed, a place where students and faculty can sit, reflect and embrace the beauty and magic of nature’s gifts

Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Bars

INGREDIENTS

2 cups all-purpose flour

1 tablespoon pumpkin pie spice

1 teaspoon baking soda

3/4 teaspoon salt

1 cup unsalted butter (room temperature)

1 1/4 cups granulated sugar

1 large egg

2 teaspoons vanilla extract

1 cup canned pumpkin puree or roasted pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)

12 ounces chocolate chips

OPTIONAL CREAM CHEESE FROSTING

1 (3 ounce) package of cream cheese

1/2 cup butter, softened 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

I cup sifted confectioners sugar

INSTRUCTIONS

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 9-by-13-inch baking pan and set aside. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, pumpkin pie spice, baking soda and salt; set aside. With a stand or electric mixer, cream butter and sugar on medium-high speed until smooth; beat in egg and vanilla until combined. Add pumpkin puree and mix well. The mixture will look somewhat curdled. Reduce speed to low, and mix in dry ingredients until just combined. Fold in chocolate chips. These steps can also be done by hand.

Spread batter evenly in the prepared pan. Bake bars for 35-40 minutes or until edges begin to pull away from the sides of the pan and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out almost clean.

Cool bars completely in the pan. Cut into squares and serve.

To make the frosting, cream together the cream cheese and butter. Stir in vanilla. Add confectioners’ sugar a little at a time, beating until mixture is smooth. Spread evenly on top of the cooled bars.

Enjoy!

MESSAGE FROM THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES

Our new school year is off to an energetic start. I am thrilled to serve as the Chair of the Board of Trustees at Princeton Day School in a year that will be like no other in recent memory. I am fortunate to be able to build on the terrific work of my predecessor, Rebecca Bushnell, who so ably led our Board through the many challenges we faced during her tenure.

Two important milestones will make this year special. First, this will be Paul Stellato’s last year at the helm. His achievements and the advances made under his watch have been remarkable, from a very successful Thrive! Campaign, to new and renovated facilities throughout the campus, to innovative academic and co-curricular programming in those facilities, to significant DEI initiatives and to enhanced faculty support programs. Paul and Maureen Stellato’s years here have been truly transformational for Princeton Day School. Please stay tuned for announcements of celebrations that are being planned both on campus and at regional alumni gatherings around the country.

The second milestone this year is that we will be planning for the arrival of Dr. Kelley Nicholson-Flynn as our new head of school starting on July 1, 2023. Preparations are already underway. As I recently wrote in a letter to parents, faculty and staff, a Transition Committee has been appointed and tasked with developing a plan that will help Dr. Nicholson-Flynn get to know the PDS community and learn about the history of the institution and its operation. Central to the plan will be a series of campus visits this academic year during which Dr. Nicholson-Flynn will meet with small, representative groups of faculty, staff, students and parents.

In this time of leadership transition at PDS, it seems fitting that this year’s schoolwide theme is ‘bridging.’ As we build bridges that facilitate our transition to new leadership of our school, our students work on creating bridges, connecting across diverse perspectives and backgrounds

Before I close, I want to welcome three new members to the board of trustees: Jixin Dai, parent of Andrew ’26 and Isabel ’33; Paris McLean ’00, our new Alumni Council president; and Anita Shah, the president-elect of the Parents Association and parent of Kai ’22 and Meera ’25. I am so grateful to have Jixin, Paris and Anita join us in this year of bridging as we take stock of what we all have accomplished under Paul’s inspired leadership and as we imagine where we might go with Dr. Nicholson-Flynn as our new head of school.

I have always felt that what happens at PDS is educational magic. That magic is performed in ways large and small by our tremendously dedicated faculty and staff. From my perspective, the future at PDS looks very bright indeed.

Marc C. Brahaney Chair of the Board of Trustees

REPORT ON PHILANTHROPY

A MESSAGE OF GRATITUDE

When members of our community come together, something truly powerful results. The phrase ‘great schools never stand still’ has never been more true than in the last two and a half years. We all experience PDS differently and yet, our common experience binds us together. We saw this happen this past year in our fundraising efforts. Thank you for sharing with us your precious resources and for making Princeton Day School a philanthropic priority.

For the first time in the school’s history, the PDS Annual Fund surpassed $2M. For a day school of our size, this is a monumental achievement, and one that we can all take great pride in. Funding the operational budget for our school is a critical charge that must be accomplished each and every year. Your commitment to the Annual Fund this past year fueled our signature programs, financial aid and faculty support, ultimately catapulting us to a position of great strength.

You have all played a role in this success. We are grateful to our alumni, parents, faculty, staff and friends who believe in the work that is happening here, and we look ahead with great enthusiasm for the future of Princeton Day School. With your support, we will thrive — today, tomorrow and always.

Gratefully,

Assistant Head of School for Advancement and Strategic Priorities

I make an annual donation to PDS to help current and future students receive the same kind of education I was offered there more than forty years ago. When I visited the school during my recent reunion, I found it dramatically expanded and improved, both in terms of the buildings themselves and also the course offerings and activities for students. The student body is more diverse than ever and receives significantly more financial aid than when I was enrolled. All these developments would not be possible without the generosity of alumni, and I am more than happy to do what I can to support the continued growth of the school.

There are so many reasons why I continue to give back to PDS. Perhaps most importantly, I feel that it prepared me (and my classmates) for success beyond the Great Road - in career, college and the peaks and valleys along the way. I also have so many wonderful memories of my time there and hope that my participation in the Annual Fund helps PDS continue to foster a great environment for generations to come.

I give to PDS because I have experienced firsthand the immense impact of alumni, family, and community generosity. Without support for faculty members and extracurricular programs, such as Cymbals magazine and the performing arts program, my most meaningful PDS experiences would not have been possible. Now, as a young alumna, I give so that current and future students can have transformative opportunities and experiences of their own.

Donating to the PDS Annual Fund is a “no-brainer” for us because: 1) PDS has been doing an excellent job in educating our kids and the fund is utilized to make it even better; 2) The donations are tax deductible; and 3) We have company match that doubles the benefit. So, essentially every dollar we donate to PDS would maximize its value.

PDS has had a profound impact on the lives of both of our sons, not only in the form of an exceptional formative education but also in the journey of self-discovery to the best possible versions of themselves. The PDS Annual fund is a way for us to give back in appreciation and support of the unwavering commitment of every member of the faculty to excellence, embodied in both a quality education and a rich thriving community. We are honored to be a part of the PDS family!

One of the things I love best about working at PDS is the school’s willingness to say “yes” to great ideas -- projects, whether big or small, that help nurture a love of learning in our students and to bring us together as a community. It’s a philosophy that speaks to the school’s commitment to excellence at every level. To me, giving to the Annual Fund is a commitment to that shared ideal.

I give back to PDS because of how much my experience there shaped me as the person I am today. I am so grateful for the opportunities I had to explore different interests, the mentors who guided me in following those passions, and the friends who made PDS such a fun and welcoming place. As a recent college graduate, I credit PDS for not only preparing me for college, but also for providing me with the tools to navigate the world beyond!

THE MAY MARGARET FINE SOCIETY

Honoring and recognizing those who understand the important legacy a planned gift creates.

Established in 1998, the May Margaret Fine Society recognizes those loyal alumnae/i, parents and friends who have informed the school that they have made provisions for Princeton Day School in their estate plans. Including the school in their will, establishing a charitable trust while maintaining life income, or naming the school as a life insurance beneficiary are some of the ways these individuals have helped secure the long-term strength of PDS. We are grateful for the generosity and vision of these planned giving donors.

Make a BIG DIFFERENCE

“Princeton Day School had a profound impact on me at a critical point in my education and personal development. For these reasons, we have included PDS among our top philanthropic priorities for more than 20 years.

“Several years ago, my husband Steve and I decided to take a strategic approach to our charitable giving and worked with our financial advisor to set up a donor-advised fund. This is a tax-efficient tool that allows us to intentionally support current priorities of organizations that are important to us, including PDS, while thinking deliberately beyond our lifetimes.”

–Maria Tardugno Aldrich ’99, Scottsdale, AZ

TRANSFORM. ENRICH. LEAVE A LEGACY.

Established in 1998, the May Margaret Fine Society recognizes those loyal alumnae/i, parents and friends who have informed the school that they have made provisions for Princeton Day School in their estate plans. Including the school in their will, establishing a charitable trust while maintaining life income, or naming the school as a life insurance beneficiary are some of the ways these individuals have helped secure the long-term strength of Princeton Day School. When you take the step of naming Princeton Day School as a beneficiary, you help our great school continue to thrive. A planned gift won’t affect your lifestyle now but it will make a tremendous impact on our faculty and students in the future. Please contact Courtney Hodock in the Advancement Office at chodock@pds.org or (609) 924-6700 ext. 1251 for more information.

Alumni of Miss Fine’s School, Princeton Country Day School and Princeton Day School,

As your new Alumni Council president, I could not be more thrilled to lead in this role, standing shoulder to shoulder with you, our talented and diverse alumni community.

As the current faculty, staff, students and families embark on another academic year, PDS is entering a space of transition. We bid farewell to our friend and head of school, Paul Stellato, his wife, Maureen, and their two daughters, Katie and Lauren. Paul’s efforts and those of his colleagues over the last 15 years have advanced the school’s programmatic scope, regional and national profile and ability to fulfill the PDS mission to all community members. The school will take time this year to reflect on and celebrate Paul and these milestones. Simultaneously, the school will welcome our incoming head of school, Dr. Kelley Nicholson-Flynn, as she and her spouse, Greg, and their two children, Mira and Jillian, enter our warm community.

PDS continues to be a learning environment where excellence of all kinds is celebrated, opportunities are boundless and the promise of each individual is honored. Within our community lies a rich and profound diversity of identities and experiences, some that are seen and others that may not be visible. In our own unique and specific identities, there is one thread that w e commonly share; it is that of our alumni relationship. I hope that our shared affinity will propel us to draw more deeply on our bonds and re-engage with each other through meaningful touchpoints. To build this bridge of connection, we must first know the foundation on the other side, which is you. We’ve all had varying experiences at PDS. Many of us will reflect fondly on our time on the Great Road and though, for some, PDS was challenging, even painful. I want to acknowledge this reality. Wherever you are on your journey, I hope you will find time to revisit PDS, see the school it has become, find ways to share your gifts with our community and return to a place that will always welcome you home.

from the East Coast. Hilary has a daughter and a granddaughter close by. My two girls are now living in Dallas in their own homes. So, we all seem to be living far away from where we grew up. So different but lots of FUN.

Hoping to hear from more classmates. Please email me at Sporthope33@gmail.com.

I probably picked up Covid in the nursing wing here. The only lasting effect is foggy brain about which I try to be humble. Dear Steve ’57, my middle brother, was always so vital and only 79, but suffered a series of strokes and is resting in peace. I still have Richard ’59 who is wonderful. Love to all.”

Since then, Collins has continued to have serious health issues and has been moved to Healthcare. I visit him every day at 4pm. That’s my news.”

I (Hope) moved to Bend, OR in 2019 from Montclair, NJ. My sister, Hilary Thompson Kenyon, and I live in Hilary’s cottage that she moved into 18 years ago. It is a senior lodging for over 300 people. We still enjoy sports: golf and pickleball, wonderful hikes and, for me, living in an area so different

Wade. I still cherish my geometry textbook and have even preserved my red covered Complete Treatise on the Conjugation of French Verbs. Doug and I are still at home but finding that everything takes more time and more effort. Doug still has his Town of West Hartford vegetable garden plot and produces magnificent tomatoes — the same delicious varieties he’s been growing since the 1980s. We’ve continued to enjoy Boston Symphony Orchestra open rehearsals on Saturday mornings at Tanglewood and broadcasts Sunday afternoons. Our four children — now all in their fifties! — and their children are doing well. Our second oldest grandchild is just starting college at the University of Kansas. Our eldest (actually step) grandchild, Solveig, recently graduated from Brown. We’ve been living through challenging times recently, both the vicissitudes of old age (referred to in Gaudeamus Igitur) and our tumultuous political times. Still, in keeping with the old Squadron A cavalry motto, we will aim to continue to push ahead!”

Jo Cornforth Coke wrote: “Last year my sister, Julia ’61, and I took off for a year in London, where she is producing a play, several, in fact! Two bedroom flat very near a tube station, beautiful weather all summer…and then my right knee gave out! Had to come home for a total replacement; still recovering. But I went back in April. Covid has delayed everything, so we are at a standstill on the play until fall 2023. London is fantastic, and I have enjoyed the museums, plays, parks, restaurants and the Queen’s 70th Jubilee. We also had tickets to the 150th British Open at St. Andrews, where Julia’s late husband, Lawrence Holofcener, has a huge sculpture of four bas reliefs, Faces of Golf, 116 of the world’s greatest golfers on the front of the British Golf Museum in St. Andrews, Scotland. And since I had never been to Scotland, we toured for a few days. Such a beautiful country!”

Ellen Jamieson Franck wrote: “It appears I am joining several classmates in dealing with troublesome limbs. I have managed to break one wrist and sprain the other. My husband and I spent the summer having romantic physical therapy dates at the local rehab agency, along with periodic doctor visits. We did arrange to gather all children and grandchildren together for a few delightful days in the Berkshires to celebrate Ernie’s 90th birthday and my 85th.” Congratulations, Ellen and Ernie!!

Mary Tyson “Ty” Goodridge Lund wrote: “My suggestion: do not slip on a grape. Ten months ago I did and am still on a cane. Getting better. Buy a Power Plate and let it bring you back to life. We are all getting old — it is joyful! Good news: Ty has just moved into White Sands in La Jolla. Eight acres on the beach. I can hear the waves breaking and see it all. I fought this change for naught. It is lovely and I am thankful. My new address is: Ty Goodridge Lund, 7450 Olivetas Ave., La Jolla, CA 92037. Stay well everyone!”

Terri Beck Morse wrote: “I am still living in Maynard on the first floor of an old house in a neighborhood that seems to be from a bygone era. It has been a year since our troops have left Afghanistan. We have a wonderful organization, ‘Dignity in Asylum,’ in Concord and Maynard that arranges, oversees the lives of asylum seekers and guides them to full independence; it is run by a friend of our son’s. Asylum seekers are usually people who are escaping life-threatening situations in great haste. This is how we came to have an amazing family of six in our upstairs apartment! Our extended family and many neighbors and local religious and civic minded groups have been busy with all aspects of assistance. We had a Morse-King, Fortiz-MorseDoversberger family reunion recently in the wilds of Maine on Rangeley Lake, complete with a seven-month-old baby grandniece and three dogs. Joy! Our sons are all busy with projects: brain research, laser fusion and painting! Take care all.”

Lucy Busselle Myers wrote: “I go back and forth between Ipswich and the Vineyard — two of my sons and four grandchildren are there. I rent my house in the summer and use it in the ‘off season.’ We just got back from a trip to easternmost Maine. It was wonderful but ended with our having Covid. Love to all.”

Alice Marie Nelson wrote: “The terrible heatwave has been the controlling factor in our lives this summer; we are very grateful to have our cabin on Lake Swartswood as a refuge from the city! We also have a garden behind our building here on Sullivan Street; Ann and I are the gardeners. So when the humidity permits, we take care of it and enjoy its greenery. In June, for her birthday, I took Ann to an all-Berlioz concert at Carnegie Hall with the Met Orchestra under Yannick Nezet-Sequin and Joyce Di Donato as soloist. It was a thrilling evening! We’ve received our tickets for the new Met season and are really looking forward to some new productions.

“News of Ute Sauter Goeller in Stuttgart. Sadly, she has had heart problems, and recently spent a week in hospital. Her oldest son, Veit, is a heart specialist and has forbidden Ute to drive . She is able to be busy in her beautiful garden, which is a consolation. Her middle son, Magnus, died last year, and her youngest, Konrad, is a very successful banker in Munich. Xoxo”

Barbara Kohlsaat von Oehsen wrote “Shortly before my birthday, my boys (Bill ’76, Barr ’78, Tom ’80, Stewart ’83) decided to give me an 85th birthday party, and include my friends with our family. I was astounded. To have so many close friends and all four boys and most of the grandchildren was a real gift. There were 32 in all at a sit-down dinner. I wore a carnation, which was the boys’ idea of having their dad with us at my party. It felt good. Unfortunately, Bill tested positive the next day with Covid. It didn’t last long. Will Covid ever go away? Bill and his wife Helen will have their 1720 year-old house in Ipswich featured on This Old House beginning in March 2023. Be sure to watch!”

Laura Travers Pardee wrote: “ I am very glad to say that Fred and I are staying healthy and very active. Between our regular three-mile walk and the beautiful wellness center, which was just

built at Bay Village with all the latest exercise equipment, we feel very fit for those in their 80s. In April, we were in Charleston, SC for the wedding of our grandson, Ben Pardee, and Anna Mack. It was a glorious weekend! In May, we flew to Denver to see our daughter, Martha, in a one-woman show, Anne, which is about Anne Richards, the late governor of Texas. Martha is on stage for two hours portraying the life of this amazing woman. We will be off to Wilmington in October to attend Fred’s 70th reunion at Wilmington Friends School. We will visit our son and his wife in Ardmore, PA for a few days as well. Hugs to all.”

I, L. Chloe King, the perpetual secretary of the MFS Class of 1955: Life has been challenging here! My reverse shoulder replacement surgery went well, but recovery is long and painful. I look forward to being pain-free and totally functional in the near future! Life at North Hill is marvelous! So glad we moved here a year ago…wonderful residents, excellent meals, super concerts and lectures…life is so good here! Of course, the pool and fitness area are tops, too. Great thanks to everyone in our class for rapid responses and great information for our column! You all have set a high standard for the future. With hugs to all.

Molly Menand Jacobs emailed me in August: “As I write this, I am at my summer home in the Adirondack Mountains in New York State. It

has been in the family for over a hundred years and many of us do try to spend time here.” She sent news of her granddaughters: “Megan just graduated from Boston University and has a job as a special ed teacher in New York City. My twin granddaughters, Emily ’22 and Lyla ’22, who attended PDS, have graduated from the Nichols School in Buffalo. With Lyla going to the University of Virginia and Emily to Georgetown, it will be the first time they will be apart from each other. Lastly, my daughter, Kim, has a 12-year-old named Parker, who will be going into seventh grade in Rochester, New York.”

Alissa Kramer Sutphin sent me a photo of the plaque in the Princeton Public Library honoring Mary Strunsky Wisnovsky for all her years of devoted service there. The Mary S. Wisnovsky Fund for Acquisitions was established for the purchase of additions to its print and digital book collections, “to benefit the library’s diverse and often underserved audience.” How appropriate that this significant tribute was created in memory of Mary, who was such a voracious reader and enthusiastic supporter of the library!

inquisitive genealogical bent, has discovered that we actually are cousins! We share a relative, Peter Wyckoff, who came to America from Holland in 1637. When Lisa is not doing genealogy, she has been traveling — visiting granddaughter Alessandra, who enjoyed a semester in Spain and is now returning to American University for her senior year. Lisa also accompanied granddaughter Phoebe, to visit Trinity College — Dublin where she will enroll this fall.

Anne (Jinx) Prather Tirana continues painting and has shown her work at the Rockefeller Preserve and at New York’s Century Club. She hopes to return to playing tennis, which she dropped for Covid precautions.

I chatted with Faith Wing Bieler on primary day in Vermont. She noted that it has been an unusually hot and humid summer — several other classmates commented similarly. We chatted about politics a bit. Faith is most concerned that her state is not doing enough to preserve the environment. At the time we talked she was hosting a family reunion, which all seemed to enjoy.

Emily Vanderstucken Spencer was not finding this summer in Maine very cool but is happily living there and sends her best to all.

Sue Frank Hilton is very busy in Naples. She and Dick are super involved with the Vanderbilt Presbyterian Church. She is in the choir, volunteers at the Vacation Bible School and is on the church’s Nominating Committee. She is also very active in the ladies’ golf activities at Cypress Woods Golf and Country Club. The Hiltons are planning a 2023 vacation to Holland and Belgium.

Though I, Nancy Hudler Keuffel, did not accomplish many items on my “To Do List” when Covid restrictions were keeping me home more

than usual, I, however, did write a 564-page book! It is the history of my husband’s family and three companies with which they were involved, one in the United States and two in Germany. It begins in the late 1300s and goes to the present. We have many original documents, have found interesting items in German archives and met new relatives who were most helpful. The time had arrived to turn this twenty-year research project into a book. It is now published and two copies are in the Library of Congress. If anyone out there wants to write a family history I am happy to help them avoid some of the pitfalls.

From Polly: Sheila Long reported: “One of the other sisters in the monastery and I are planning to spend two weeks in Italy in September. My traveling companion has health issues that intermittently interfere with her mobility, so I have ordered a wheelchair for her at the airport, bought her a cane that turns into a seat — am praying and keeping my fingers crossed. Friends are treating us to four days at a fancy hotel in Rome and three private guided tours, after which we’ll move on to a monastery in Tuscany for ten days. I’m still plugging away at learning Italian and it’s getting a bit easier. I have an online tutor, Luigi, who lives near Siracusa in Sicily. Apparently, learning a new language is one of the best ways of keeping your marbles in old age.”

Lucia Norton Woodruff wrote: “Molto bene. It sounds wonderful, Sheila. On my first trip to Italy about 12 years ago, we stayed in a beautiful convent in Assisi that I atypically found online. A highlight. In my last trip to Italy, we stayed in Siracusa, Sicily. Also, wonderful.”

Elise Bruml wrote: “Like Lucia, I stayed in a beautiful convent in Assisi on my first trip to Italy. My stay occurred over forty-five years ago, but I remember it very fondly. Perhaps it was the same place.”

Nancy Smoyer wrote: “I did a two-three week immersion in Siracusa several years ago in my ongoing effort to become fluent in Italian. After many attempts, I’d say I’m still at the advanced beginner stage. I stayed in a convent in San Gimignano a long time ago. I don’t remember it being particularly wonderful, but cheap and adequate. I have a friend who recently bought a small house in Puglia to which I invited myself since I’ve been very curious about that part of Italy for a long time. There’s not enough room in the house for me, but a convent or monastery is very near, which is where they have their guests stay. I’m hoping to do that next spring before or after our reunion, which has yet to be organized.”

Joan Yeaton Seamon added: “I am also loving descriptions of experiences to la Italia bellisima as I receive them while receiving photos from my daughter, Julie, and her family as they visit Rome, Florence, Siena and Venice for three weeks. Julie has traveled there before with Hal and me and our boys, but her two, Luke (17) and Matthew (15), had not. What can I say except Rome is my favorite foreign city...and we have been blessed to see many.

“Our intro to Italia was when our oldest son, John, selected Vicenza as his first duty with the 82nd Airborne after graduating from West Point. We all converged on him for Christmas in Rome where we had the unique experience of having passes to the Christmas Eve service at St. Peter’s ...with beloved John Paul...and all those cardinals and nuns so near the altar. (I never mentioned we were Presbyterians.) Will never forget it.

“Since then, we have had numerous trips there attending John’s wedding to Raffaella in a centuries old Badia near Pescara (on the Adriatic), hiking through the beautiful countryside of Tuscany and lodging at agriturismos, celebrating holidays in Florence, and then the christening of our oldest grandson, Mark, on Easter in Pescara after attending the Good Friday service at the Roman Forum with wonderful John Paul again. Touched his robe as he walked the path from the Coliseum to the burning cross on the hill of the forum. And now grandson Mark studies for university degrees in Siena and soon Turino.

“Enough about me. Sheila, I know your trip will be a gift as ours have been. I took adult ed classes in the public school...excellent...so perhaps that is an option for you. Once you are amongst those wonderful Italians, I am sure you will converse easily. Please have a coco gelato for me at the Trevi Fountain and DO spend time at the Roman Forum. Thank you, Mrs. Raubitschek, for the wonderful years of Latin and Roman history. The Forum is always my first and best stop. BUON VIAGGIO!!”

Cynthia Weinrich included: “I love reading the varieties of people’s different experiences inspired by Sheila’s plans for an Italian vacation.”

Jean Schettino Conlon ’59 and husband, Bill, visited with Ann Kinczel Clapp ’59 in Manasquan, NJ this past summer

Trudi Goheen Swain wrote: “I’ve sold my cottage on the Cape and am in the process of moving out by Labor Day. This marks the end of 14 years here and my 65th summer on the Cape. Too much work plus grandchildren who could use some college tuition help. I’ll be back as a renter though!

“Amherst, MA: moved there from Philly 15+ years ago to be near my daughter and her young family to help pick up the pieces when things would fall apart. What was wonderful is that when the kids had to draw a picture of their family in kindergarten, I was always part of the nuclear family. And to think that the kids are now 18 and almost 16!

“When I was eight, we spent the year in Rome when Dad was on sabbatical at the American Academy there to turn his Ph.D. into a book. Older sister, Anne ’59, and I went to school at the Convent of the Sacred Heart, Trinita die Monti , right at the top of the Spanish Steps, in the building just to the left of the church (which belonged to the convent, I believe). I sure spent a lot of time kneeling on those pews. When we returned, we were switched over to MFS — fifth grade, Miss Hope.

“I do remember some of my Italian but probably not enough to navigate a trip to Italy. After MFS middle school, I went to the Convent of the Sacred Heart in Noroton, CT on a point surrounded on three sides by the Long Island Sound. Yes, we had those oral exams, in our uniforms and white gloves, class by class, in front of the whole school. We knew the questions beforehand as they were also the prep/review for the written exams. Yes, it was terrifying at first but by senior year we’d gotten used to it. It was supposed to be good training for one to present and persuade early.”

Tibby Chase Dennis wrote: “So interested to learn that Trudi sold her house on the Cape. A couple of months ago I sold Chip’s and my Rockport condo on what Cape Anners call the ‘other Cape.’ (Six years ago, I had sold my Orleans condo on what I think of as ‘the real Cape’ so that Chip and I could buy the Rockport one as Cape Anne was so dear to his heart.)

A bittersweet decision to sell Rockport but a very wise one. I can’t imagine how I could have handled the process all by myself had I waited another year, given how my going on 80-year-old body has reacted to the mammoth physical task of preparing and selling it this year.”

Fiona Morgan Fein shared: “I had two fiveday glorious excursions to the Marlboro Music Festival in southeastern Vermont this summer and am anticipating the music to come this season in NYC. I continue on the board of Wells College, working with an amazing group of colleagues to shepherd this gem through the fast-changing landscape of higher education in our country. As we approach our 80th birthdays, I’m sure I’m not alone in experiencing changes

in mind and body — some welcome, others not so much — but the pleasure of each other’s company on this voyage, at no matter what distance or interval, never fails to put a smile on my face.”

Julia Cornforth Holofcener updated us: “The summer of 2022 turned out to be busy! First Jo ’55 and I traveled to Puglia, Italy with the family of my co-producer for Alliance for a week. Then we hurried back to London, as I had been invited to attend the 150th anniversary of The Open at St. Andrews, Scotland. Larry’s Faces of Golf is on the front of the British Golf Museum and the ‘powers that be’ thought I should attend. We were able to watch Rory at the 18th, as well as Tiger when he plopped his early stroke into the water. That depressed him, as he went on to deliver a not-so-sterling performance the rest of the game. When he left the course, the cheers were deafening and he appeared to be quite emotional.

“After the tournament, Jo and I traveled north for a few days, as she had never been to Scotland, then flew back to London for a ‘high tea’ at the House of Commons hosted by the EnglishSpeaking Union; I have been a member for many years, and at one point was President of the Princeton Branch.

“The decision to sell the condo in West Palm Beach was made, which meant we had to go back to Florida and empty the two units of Larry’s paintings and sculptures. We almost killed ourselves, but at the time of this writing, they are empty! Now, we are tackling the condo and will sell it as soon as possible. Life is a challenge, but if my body keeps restoring itself each morning, I consider myself very lucky. My sister has been an amazing trouper, and I haven’t managed to destroy her body and spirit, as we laugh a lot! I leave mid-September to attend the first birthday party for my great-granddaughter, Ellie Ermel.

“I return to London January 15th to continue my producing ‘Angel’ responsibilities. I have managed to involve myself in four plays, one of which is Alliance, which should open in autumn 2023…hopefully! It’s been quite a wonderful two years living in London, as I have met some very interesting theatrical characters; Larry would be pleased! A lot of attention has been given to his Allies sculpture on Bond Street, as well as Imagine, the life-size John Lennon I unveiled on Carnaby Street last October. It’s been an exciting last few months, and I’m looking forward to many more.”

“I don’t really have any news or updates. Florida has been one of the Covid and variant hot spots, especially during the summer months (which seems to have become almost year-round here). So we remain cautious, outdoors and doing home projects. Would welcome any classmates who are in the Delray Beach area. We would love to see you!”

Kleia Raubitschek Luckner wrote: “I am fine and busier than I would like with all the aging changes that need to be addressed. This demanding practice never occurred to me when I returned.”

I had hoped to see Kleia when I was in DC for a conference in the spring, but the demands of the conference got in the way.

From Polly Miller : “I gave away my last wonderful equine friend, Timothy, as horses were just getting to be too much for Nick and me to deal with through the winters. We now have two adorable floppy-eared young miniNubia goats. They are vocal, enthusiastic, spoiled rotten, wonderful companions. The one highlight of the year was playing my own great grandmother, Marian Longstreth Thayer, in the ensemble musical, Titanic. It was quite a high and I managed to bring most everyone to tears and learned a lot about the whole Thayer family in the process! So still singing, still upright and taking nourishment, and hoping all is well with my fellow classmates.

“Sharon Stevenson Griffith was here along with sisters Susan ’59 and Lissy ’67, to celebrate a lobster dinner for all our July birthdays. What a hoot.”

Kathy Sittig Dunlop wrote that my email about class notes reminded her that she had not received her Journal, so she went online to read the last few issues. She shared that “there were some entries that were food for thought for sharing. So here are some of my responses/ thoughts: 1.) First, 2022 has been a doubledigit year for me. I celebrated my 55th wedding anniversary and my 77th birthday. Time flies when you are having fun.

“2.) It is so important to be there for others. I have been Sig’s legal guardian for more than 20 years and she has taught me a lot. People are blessed when we show up. Playing Go Fish with someone you love is great fun. I am in the process of turning the guardianship over to Sig’s two older children. They have really stepped up to the plate and that has been a blessing for all of us.

“3.) Minimize the stress in your life. It is what led to my strokes. Much of the stress in my life came from people who didn’t really take

responsibility for their actions. Lessons learned were the importance of listening to others and the importance of being fair. Another lesson — life is not fair.

“4.) I am so grateful for the blessings of Zoom. Because of the pandemic, a woman who was in my freshman year class at Hollins started a weekly Zoom conversation with five freshman friends. Even though I transferred to UPenn, we have remained friends. Our weekly chats include lots of trivia and laughter.

“5.) I think we should share books to read; I recommend Horse by Geraldine Brooks. A book about dealing with strokes is call Idenity Theft The author is Debra E Meyerson. It is incredible on many levels.

“6.) Bible study is a lifesaver. I am doing some amazing online studies.”

Pamela Sidford Schaeffer wrote that she is “vicariously enjoying the exploits of our 12-yearold grandson and 14-year-old granddaughter. Ben is playing lacrosse with great enthusiasm and some skill (backhanded over the shoulder goal-making). He is intrigued by my lacrosse stories from Miss Fine’s days. I can still handle the stick and we practice together. Don’t ask me to run though! Samantha is a freshman in high school and is on the field hockey team. She has the courage to be the goalie. She is not as funny as Alice Jacobson (who I fervently miss) but she looks just the same in that full-body gear. At least she doesn’t have to try to dribble through all that d*** grass (not my favorite sport). We tried pickleball with some neighbors and laughed until we cried. We had spent 45 minutes reviewing the instructions of play and in the end we could hardly hit the ball over the net more than twice! At least none of us fell down. There was an article in the Wall Street Journal the next day that warned about the hazards of pickleball for the elderly. I don’t know why, but ever since Covid started it seems there is a daily slap in the face reminding me I am old. Thanks a lot!”

I, Virginia Elmer Stafford, am very much enjoying the PNW. I just bought my first boat and look forward to adventures in the Puget Sound. Anyone want to join me?? I just had a three week visit with my daughter and grandson from Spain. After leaving, he sent me a message saying that he misses his “laughter buddy” — guess that is a nice compliment from a 16-yearold. I am looking forward to a week with my oldest grandson who is the communications director for the committee that Senator Patty Murray heads.

The rest of my fall will be watching another grandson’s rugby games and another’s beekeeping adventures. He has become a real expert and enthusiast. Hoping this finds you all well and looking forward to our 60th (time does fly!!). If anyone has any ideas for this BIG reunion, please let me know so we can start a conversation.

Thank you all who responded so swiftly to my late cry for news.

I’m not sure “Down Under” will be much cooler than Southern California, but Dora Lange and her husband are off to Australia, spurred on by scorching temps in her hometown. Perhaps Australian sea breezes may make the difference. Dora wrote: “Not much news, except that we’re melting here in Southern California! Temperatures have been over 110 every day this week; Wednesday it was 115! Yikes! What better solution than to get out of town! In June, we spent some time with our grandkids in DC, then visited Williamsburg, VA and historical sites. We had a relaxing and cool couple of weeks exploring in Lake Tahoe and are now off for three weeks in and around Sydney, Australia. We stay busy and try to pack in as much fun as we can — while we still can! Love to all in the Class of ’64!”

Linda Conroy Vaughn is on the road again, as well, after spending a couple of years in CA trading in her old home for a new one. She said in her note, “I’m glad you caught me as I’m leaving next week for the rest of the month. I am going to Australia, Tasmania and New Zealand. I have been to Australia a few times, but never to Tas or NZ. I always thought I could do those later in life. Well, guess what? It is later.” What are the odds Linda might run into Dora in Sydney?

Linda warmed up her traveling muscles “taking two of my grandchildren, boys ages nine and 11, to the Galapagos in June on a 12-day Stanford Travel/Study family trip. I have been to the Galapagos before but to see and experience it through their eyes was thrilling. It was a grand trip where everything that could have gone wrong did, and yet we all would do it again in a NY minute. It was fantastic.”

Mea (Liz ) Aall Kaemmerlen, married to a Princeton alum, has been living in NJ for many years. You may recall that she once worked as a journalist in Trenton. Human interest stories, where she could make a difference by creating awareness, have always caught her attention. So, it is no surprise to me that she writes today of her current activities. “Gratefully, I can report that all is well here in Princeton. I’ve been working with an Afghan refugee family (six kids) for the past year through the Nassau Presbyterian Church. So sad for the family to lose everything, but it’s been eye-opening, satisfying — and even fun — to get to know them and something about their lives before the Taliban. Personally, Al and I are waiting to move to Pennswood Village, a Quaker-based retirement place in Newtown, PA, and are struggling to lighten up our lives and belongings. (Does anyone want 12 very fragile crystal cognac

glasses?) We still spend time in the Adirondacks (Blue Mountain Lake) and the Eastern Shore of Maryland (Cambridge).” Amen to “lightening up your lives and belongings.”

Fran Wolf, the former President of our Class of 1964, shared her tale of travel in 2022. “I went to Ireland in June. It was great until I got Covid and had to stay in a hotel in a small town in Ireland for five days! It was like a bad cold with symptoms that lingered five weeks after I tested negative. Fortunately, I’m good now — no long Covid. However, I’m going to try travel again going to Viet Nam and Cambodia in October on a trip that’s been scheduled for the fourth time since February 2020 when I was originally planning to go! I’m doing this with my brother so we’ll have some brother-sister bonding time.”

I hope all the travelers in this issue of the Journal will share some of their photos for the next issue. So many great trips!

Being an attorney, albeit retired, Susan Jamieson may explain why she is a woman of few words. “I am currently living for a while in Avoca, Ireland, about an hour from Dublin, with my son.” Hey, Sue. I hope you’re enjoying the Celtic lifestyle. I still hope to make it there one day to do a little research on the Roses.

The challenge of dealing with loss of any sort can be huge. Knowing that, we send our love and best vibes to Cary Smith Hart who not long ago lost her best friend and partner in life, the father of her children, Gary. She wrote, “I have been working on adjusting and healing since my husband, Gary, died in January of pancreatic cancer. The support of family and friends has helped a lot, and I try to take one day at a time. I send my best to all of you.”

After having had a complete hip replacement last Thanksgiving, I was delighted to receive an invitation last spring from my son, Hobie Hare ’93, and Lucy, his wife, to spend a month with them in Boston helping care for my three-year-old granddaughter and five-year-old grandson. What a gift! When you are with those little people you have no choice but to be in the moment. Loved it!

1964 classmates: Fran Wolff, Sue Jamieson, Barbara Rose at dinner in Atlanta, circa 2005

While there, I traveled down to see my oldest grandchild, Jasper Drake, son of Elizabeth Hare ’88 and Todd Drake. Jasper was completing a summer program at Rhode Island School of Design. Considering a degree in architecture, he loved the experience of being totally immersed in the art and design world at RISD. Can’t believe he’ll be heading off to college next fall! I hope that brings him East as he and is family currently live in Longmont, CO.

I’m still practicing real estate in Charleston as a broker with Sotheby’s International Realty. I’m looking forward to traveling throughout the month of September to various happy family events.

Here’s to you, MFS Class of 1964!

1965

Margaret Woodbridge Dennis hotyakker@gmail.com

Bob and I ( Peggy Woodbridge Dennis) had a fabulous holiday back in February — our first trip since March of 2020 — to Quito and the Galapagos Islands in Ecuador and the Sacred Valley and Machu Picchu in Peru. We did NOT get Covid. We did manage to climb Wayna Picchu, the steep mountain that overlooks the archeological site at Machu. 1,000 feet up the steepest slopes! Hard to believe we made it up and down with no mishaps. And wearing masks, too. Wow! There’s still some get-up-and-go in the old girl yet.

Life is just about back to normal. I say “just about” advisedly. We in the Dennis household are all vaccinated and boosted. We take precautions and continue to wear masks at indoor gatherings. My exception is political events which I LOVE! And they always have fabulous food and wine, so everyone ends up unmasked in order to eat and drink. I went to the campaign kickoff for my favorite U.S. Senator, Chris Van Hollen, in early April. Talked with Speaker Nancy Pelosi for several minutes, both of us unmasked. The next day she tested positive for Covid. A few days later my entire family tested positive, too. But we all had very light cases and no long-term problems.

Dabby Bishop Palmer reported: “I had my cataracts removed. It was, thankfully, a breeze! No fears of seeing too much during the operation, which took about 14 minutes. My vision is still blurry, but I’m told that’s to be expected and should clear up over time. So, ladies, GO FOR IT!”

Ellen Aronis Heard said: “After many years of travel, my husband and I are off to Israel on Saturday, with a few days in Istanbul on the way back. After Covid postponed our trip earlier, we are cautiously optimistic that this time we will get there.

“I have finally retired from my therapeutic educational consultancy practice and after 20 years, it was definitely time. I am happy in my retirement, having continued with my daily Qigong practice as well as a weekly discussion group on the merits of it. I am realizing that joy is one of the most underrated emotions out there and am actively cultivating it. Some days I am more successful at it than other days.

“My kids and grandkids are all in California so cross-country trips are part of our routine as well. I am finding out what many grandparents already know and that is that there is nothing better than grandkids.”

Sally Stewart Gilbert said: “It sure is hot here in DC. But my new digs — in the renovated basement of my daughter and SIL’s house — is remarkably cool. I moved here in April. The wonder of it is that I get to see two of my grandchildren every day. Isaac is five and a half and Miriam is 28 months. I am very lucky, I think.

“Steve’s death in October of 2020 changed so much for me. I’ve learned a lot about grief. Also learned about the ways that some friends and relatives know how to be supportive even if it’s awkward, which it almost always is. A former therapist of mine said to me that there are some people it’s worth being awkward for. It was helpful then and I really get it now.

“The adjustments of the past two years have been challenging, as you might imagine. I’ve disposed of so many things after considering them. I’ve changed my criteria numerous times. I confess I’m quite proud of the fact that I got the right calculation for books. The ones I chose actually fit on the shelves. Gave lots and lots to Prison Library Project and other places.

“Number One son has been here many times from Colorado. I’m so grateful for that. Number Two son is getting married in September and I am thrilled. Steve and I both loved/love her. My Number One grandson will be the BEST GUY. Since he’s ten it doesn’t make much sense for him to be the best man.

“Yes, I’ve had Covid. Not too bad. But I don’t recommend it. The five of us went down like dominoes.

“It is certainly a cliché, but I’ll still acknowledge I remember all of you more vividly than I remember what happened yesterday.”

Alison Hubby Hoversten reported: “I am now living in Denver after having spent 20 years in Vail, CO, where my former husband and I raised our three children. Vail was a wonderful, quaint little town at the time and has, unfortunately, morphed into a thriving town, which is being inundated with people with way too much money who have multiple houses all over the world.

“My life in Denver is an improvement over life in a mountain town. Every day begins with something active, be that pickleball (I

am addicted), tennis, road biking, walking or a visit to the gym. My volunteer activities had been centered around being a driver for the American Cancer Society, taking patients to treatments. The onset of Covid brought that program to an abrupt halt and I have not started up again as none of the patients are vaccinated, which has me nervous as I age. I’ve recently begun helping a nonprofit charitable organization, Safe Harbor Lab Rescue, which is an all-volunteer, foster-based organization with no salary expense or physical facility. I help with fundraisers, transport dogs and will probably start to foster.

“Traveling, domestically and internationally, remains an important part of my life and my trips are primarily geared to biking or hiking. I have done 30 trips with a company called Backroads, which have taken me all over the world. My philosophy is I better continue doing this kind of travel as long as my body will permit me to do so! I also go down to Cabo San Lucas several times a year and head out to California to see my oldest son who lives in West Hollywood. Wine country boondoggles are definitely high on our list of ways to spend fun time together.

“My daughter, age 43, lives in Vail where she works as CFO and business manager of Ski and Snowboard Club Vail (a nonprofit where she got her racing start). Schuyler (oldest son), age 41, is in West Hollywood where he is always on the look out for the latest entrepreneurial opportunity! Whitney (youngest son), age 36, is based in Denver and has provided me with two grandchildren! He has worked his way up in the concert lighting business and has spent the last five years working for Bruno Mars as his lighting director.”

Phoebe Russell Ozuna said: “Not much to report here — all of Southern Cali is under a heat dome this week. It was 108 in Pasadena yesterday! We are staying huddled in our airconditioned rooms.

“Ron and I are beginning to travel a bit now — went up to San Francisco in May to see my son, Ocean, and my three grandchildren. That was a treat. We are still masking up indoors and being careful — so far so good — no Covid yet. Otherwise, trying to manage my joints! Replacement is on the horizon!!

“I am just starting my part-time retirement job again, mentoring teachers in the education program at Loyola Marymount University. Still writing and managing our small press — Cahuenga Press.”

And from our classmates who did not graduate with us, but whom many of us remember fondly: Marita Raubitschek Hopmann and her family vanished over a summer vacation, but many remember her sister, Kleia (two years ahead of us), and her mother who taught us Latin and

Greek (only when we had been very good). The Raubitschek family had moved to Palo Alto where both seniors could teach at Stanford. Princeton, back then, did not welcome or hire female professors, no matter how well qualified. Marita reported: “I retired from NIH in August 2017. Amazing how many tasks filled my ‘To Do Lists’ — and then Covid (no family member with a serious problem).

“My sister, Kleia ’63, moved to the DC area (where I’ve lived since 1997) in fall 2014, but lives in Northern VA while our place is in Rockville, MD just north of the Beltway. Kleia gave me a copy of the PDS Journal. Saw an old photo — sure looked like Mrs. Shephard. Wonderful to see all the beautiful faces and read about great educational goals.”

Barbara Putnam, who was with us at Miss Fine’s for fourth through ninth grades, said: “Life here has gotten very local. I’m the Registrar of Voters for our town, Litchfield, CT, a part-time job except when preparing for an election, primary, referendum or town meeting, all of which we have this year. Then I’m full-time and more for a few weeks. My commute is three miles.

“Our daughter, when she and her long time POSSLQ (person of the opposite sex sharing living quarters) decided to get married, came here from their home in Ayer, MA, so that my husband, Bob, who is a justice of the peace, could do the ceremony. The other guests were his parents, who stayed for lunch and a sip of champagne.

“I continue to enjoy gardening and teaching yoga, which I do at the local Y. I’m very content with being close to home; I’m fascinated by the variety of wildflowers that bloom along the roads and trails where I take walks and have started paying more attention to mosses and grasses. There’s always something new, even when you stay put.”

Is it safe to say that just two of us — a plurality of our surviving classmates — are still working while the rest are retired or worse?

At this writing (mid-September) Bob Hillier still reports to the office at his namesake architectural firm, Studio Hillier, which he has grown into a 30-person shop with numerous projects. He also continues to publish Town Topics and enters his 30th year at the University’s architecture school where he teaches graduate seminars in the business of architecture and real estate development. On the family front, he boasts a new granddaughter, Sela, born to daughter Jordan, bringing his grandchild total to four (the previous three all in college).

copyediting and proofing (to say nothing of superior printing) for our modest list — three titles this year, “private” books for distribution among family, friends and special audiences of readers.

The first of these was a historically interesting memoir by an international lawyer who represented nascent businesses and industries in third-world countries — and then in post-Soviet Russia! His brief: to build the independent institutions that nurture viable economies and support democratic forms of government.

Next came a first for us, a reprint, of a handsome and reader-friendly edition of an academic paper originally published in a form that only a myopic scholar could love. This book, The Georgetown Waterfront, relates the history of a vibrant multi-ethnic community that thrived beside the Potomac River in the nation’s capital and then the neighborhood’s recent metamorphosis with a beautiful riverfront park.

And so we carry on...

What caught my eye on his agenda is his “renaissance” of Witherspoon Street, which in our PCD days was an almost Sinclair Lewisian Main Street running from the Garden Theater at one end to the Wine & Game Shop at the other, with the bank, a newsstand, The Balt luncheonette and Bob’s mother’s Flower Basket in between. Bob’s current project involves transforming 17 properties into 70 “affordable” apartments for middle income earners: teachers, cops, librarians, chefs, et al. — the community’s essential professionals who have been hardpressed to find homes in the hyper-prosperous town where they work.

For myself, I continue as editor and publisher of Posterity Press Inc., which engages independent colleagues to perform the crucial tasks of design,

From Patrick : I retired from an investment advisory firm some five years ago. My wife passed away some years ago — still looking. I do play golf, read and travel a bit. The latter includes an annual visit to David Smoyer ’56 at his compound in Marion, MA. This year also featured a stay at Chautauqua when Salman Rushdie was attacked. That was a bummer. I do think fondly of my days at PCD. I particularly enjoy playing marbles under the umbrella of the branches of the towering maple trees. With the coming of ladies that the activity lost its luster.

Robert Dorf dorfb@outlook.com

Well, classmates. I reached out to all of you, but I only have a few regulars. I would love to hear from the rest of you if you are still able. If you can’t, have someone else report on your wellbeing.

One of our regulars, Larry Estey wrote: “Elizabeth and I continue to enjoy our ‘55+ Active Adult Community’ in Portland, ME, and are happy to say we enjoy all the components of that name. We’re here to stay, with our final move to be across the street to Evergreen Cemetery. No time soon, we hope. People do come to Maine in the summer, and last week we had visits with three sets of relatives. Funny how they don’t come to visit in February. But it’s wonderful to have relatives. At the end of June, we visited my daughter and granddaughter for the latter’s high school graduation. She’s headed off to college for a B.F.A. in musical theater, which makes her the fourth generation of Esteys in the performing arts field, in which I definitely don’t include myself. Emma is a gifted performer, and her great-grandparents, Bud and Audree, would have been proud, as is her great aunt, Carol Estey. That’s it for now. Classmates, visitors to Maine are welcome — please be in touch!

I always hear from Johnny Cook : He and Jeannie had been spending most of his their summer in Maine and, of course, beating every golf course he can find wherever he is at the time. Shoots his age regularly. The new knee apparently doesn’t affect either his golf swing or his ability to join brother Steve ’59 and Coley Donaldson ’62 in winning hockey tournaments around the country. One of my good friends from Vail joined them, and they won a national ‘Slightly Under 100’ tournament in the south somewhere. I always look forward to a conversation with him. We’ve endured a lot together over the years.

John Stein always has an update: “My news is quite simple. Some years back, someone stole my sense of balance. Later, I’m not sure exactly when, they came back and stole my memory. So I spend my days, quite happily, I should say, leaning back in my recliner, dabbling in The Oregonian and The Washington Post, with occasional side trips to The Gray Lady, listening to, and sometimes watching, MSNBC, you know, just to catch up on the news. Meanwhile, my dear Marlene and I have a compact to hang out for another ten years (starting some time ago but I forget when), which will put me somewhere into my 90s, I think. Sundays are radically different because we call our kids, Lorin in Manhattan and Anna in County Cork and their progeny, Harold (a smart, handsome, talkative two-and-a-half-year old) and his O’Sullivan cousins, Clementine (smart, lovely and scholarly, age 10-ish) and Chloe (smart, lovely, and playful, age eight-ish). We can’t fulfill that parental duty this Sunday since we’ll be on an all-night flight to visit with all the above-named plus Sadie and Geoff. Lorin and Sadie enjoy wonderful reputations in the publishing world (editor/ critic kind of stuff) while Anna has become the agent of choice of brilliant novelists in search of a publisher, while Geoff is getting ready to build their homestead on his parents’ land. Their photos of the local landscape are testaments to How Green Was My Valley. Oy.”

It’s always nice to hear from David Kamenstein who wrote: “Thanks for doing such a good job as class secretary. I hope you and your family are all well. What do I say when I really have nothing interesting to report? Carol and I are spending the summer in Vermont along with our children, Tracy, Sloan, and our grandchildren. We all had planned a trip to Italy and France for a month to break things up but canceled at the last minute due to renewed Covid concerns. We are headed back to Palm Beach in early September, as our grandchildren have school. They will be going into sixth grade and will be 12 (going on 21) in October. All the best to you and your family.”

A man of few words, Vern “Jim” Hagenbuckle chimed in: “Thank you Bob Dorf ! I saw Garrison Keillor live last night. He is now approaching 80 with double vision and a trip to the Mayo Clinic in the offing. Your humor on aging has his beat!”

I see Peter Moock on Facebook resting on the laurels of his talented entertainer son, Alastair. Look him up. Peter is currently living in Massachusetts full-time rather than splitting time with New York.

Myself, I have been spending much of my year in Mexico with Patty. With the cartel running things so smoothly, it’s very much like being in Biden’s U.S. Same amount of corruption. We are located 50 miles inside the border on the Sea of Cortez where the weather, golf and fishing are perfect. Not so much the hockey. I get that fix when I spend the summer in Vail. Puerto Penasco is an easy drive from Phoenix and our door is always open.

James “Tim” Carey tim_carey@nobles.edu

Greetings from the Class of PCD 1957. This is the year many of us turn 80. When I turned 70, I did not pay much attention. Reaching 80 felt like a kind of milestone, one that must carry some meaning, given the number of times people have congratulated me. I forward congratulations to all of my classmates who have crossed that line and those who soon will.

Bob Smyth reported that he has faced medical issues, highlighted by ankle replacement surgery. Four months of a scooter, cast, boot, boot with crutches and ankle brace. But all is well. “The day before yesterday I walked a mile with no pain, no stopping. Never thought that would happen. We spent most of the summer at our cabin on Lake Champlain, enjoying the serenity and peacefulness. Am approaching a significant number in November (as is Pony Fraker — November 16th! — if I remember correctly). Hope our ’57ers remain well!”

Rob Kuser enjoyed a quiet summer. He and Mary Kay will be visiting Yellowstone National Park in late September. “We were lucky to get accommodations at the Old Faithful Inn. We love the National Parks, and this trip should be lots of fun, our third visit to Yellowstone.”

Betsy and Joe Wright moved last October from Toronto, where they had been living for 46 years, to Nantucket, where Joe had visited since 1948, and where they have owned a house since 1992. “Our daughter is the clinical director of the behavioral health facility on the island. Our son and his family live in Brooklyn. Great to have everyone in the same country! Although we miss city life somewhat, this is a wonderful place to live as it has been our second home for many years.”

Staff Keegin just wrote to say that he is still living in Sausalito. “My wife is still painting and selling her art. I’m still lawyering, doing IP licensing, mostly in-bound and out-bound licenses for a database company. This allows me to spend a fair amount of time on Great Cranberry Island in Maine, sailing there from wherever the wind might take me. This summer, in addition to day sailing, it was about 10 days to the west and back, looking for Tim in Tenants Harbor (no luck). I have two grandsons living in France with our daughter who’s heavily involved in French theater (French being a language I never mastered), a granddaughter living in Oakland, a granddaughter (about to become two granddaughters) living in Alameda. Both U.S. domiciled daughters have really interesting jobs for which they are well-suited. However, it could be the kids have decided the time has come to circle the wagons around their aging parents. Weekends are spent in the Wine Country, where we have rebuilt our thoroughly burned down house. (I learned a fair amount about insurance from that experience.) That’s it. Cheers to all.”

Bob Dorf ’56 with his grandson, Jensen, and daughter, Heather Rawlings

Adam Hochschild reported that he is “feeling slightly better about the state of the country than I did a few months ago but am still keeping my fingers crossed. I’ve continued to write, despite failing to change the world one iota by doing so. My latest book, American Midnight: The Great War, a Violent Peace, and Democracy’s Forgotten Crisis, is about the period of 1917 to 1921 in this country, the Trumpiest time in American history before Trump. It was an era filled with red-baiting, fury at immigrants and political repression — censorship and imprisonment — on a scale that Trump would envy. There’s a Princeton connection: the president at that time was Woodrow Wilson, who had lived in Princeton for the dozen years before he entered the White House, first as president of Princeton University and then as governor of New Jersey. As a 12-yearold girl, my mother and her sisters were taken to Wilson’s house by her parents to congratulate him on his election as president in 1912.”

Andy Harris and his wife, Sue, “enjoyed a terrific trip to Croatia, Slovenia and Bosnia in May. The Dalmatian Coast is gorgeous, the people are delightful, and we learned about everything from Roman antiquities to vestiges of the 1990s war. It was our first Rick Steves trip, and we were favorably impressed with the small size (14), active agenda and fun, knowledgeable tour leader.”

My wife, Mary, and I had a good summer. We spent two weeks in Maine where our daughter, Zoe, got engaged. We traveled to Banff on a week-long hiking trip. I managed pretty well, but let’s just say it might be my last one doing five miles a day with elevation rise averaging 1500 feet. I survived. We just returned from two days at the US Open tennis tournament. What a scene: mobs of people, glitz, noise and great tennis. The fall will bring continued volunteer stints at a local school where I have been for nine years, lots of sports photography, and one day a week greeting patients and families at Children’s Hospital. After a day there, I feel pretty lucky being able to do what I still can.

David Stewart reported in from the nation’s capital: “I am still teaching international law at Georgetown Law, at least for another year — the students are terrific, and the international situation keeps throwing up really challenging issues!”

Sandy Kirkpatrick and Jeanie never look a day older. “Jeanie and I are doing well. Jeanie is chair of our very successful Community Foundation and on the board of our Downtown Development organization. I am unaccountably an officer of my Princeton class, and like playing stock market maven (constant churn, occasional profits). We are looking forward to a gathering next June of our combined six children, their spouses (spice?) and 11 grandchildren. We have not yet resumed foreign travel but have been getting in a month in North Carolina and a month in Colorado each year. We are both gym rats.”

Checking in from Florida, John Tassie related that he and Penny still live in Orlando, FL. We are empty nesters with plenty of extra room for visitors. Both of us have retired and are now just doing volunteer work. Each daughter has two young kids. One daughter lives in Bedford, MA, and the other in Ithaca, NY. Covid has put a damper on our travel plans, so we have not seen our grandchildren in person for over two years. We have a trip planned for Ithaca in September and a trip to Myrtle Beach with my siblings for this Thanksgiving. We would like to go to Europe on a Viking cruise, but there is no water in the rivers. My best to everyone. Please come visit us.”

The following from Lawrence aka “Pompey” Delafield was omitted from the spring Journal , so it’s included now. “Margi and I celebrated 50 years of marriage in May with a trip to Utah and had six weeks this summer at our house on Long Pond in Plymouth, MA with our three children, their spouses and four grandkids. Exhausting and great fun.”

From your hard-working class correspondent, Toby Knox : Greetings to all classmates. As is evident from the photo, my wife, Kathryn, and I had the pleasure of visiting the White family in Phippsburg, ME in August. It was a delight to spend some time going over old times in Princeton with the three White boys. The joshing about “blues” versus “whites” continues and will never stop. Kathryn and I continued north to Bangor where Jimmy Buffet and the Coral Reefers entertained us and others on a rainy night. Great fun. Summer in Vermont basically has been delightful. Lots of golf and time with our daughter Amanda’s Vermontbased family, and with a lengthy visit from our son, Andrew, and his family from West Hollywood, CA. We are looking forward to a trip to Tanzania in October to witness the Great Migration in the northern Serengeti.

I must start this fall’s notes by saying how totally impressed I’ve been by the newsiness of the PCD Class of 1961 notes during the past few Journal issues. It’s so apparent that the Class of ’61 is still staying very close with each other and having a lot of fun doing so. While at PCD, the Class of ’61 had twenty students and the Class of ’60 thirteen. I definitely recall that there were close friendships between both classes during those years. After all, our two classes were at the top of the school student pyramid and pretty much dominated all of the school activities and sports teams…we relied on each other to make things happen!

Our close friendships continued after moving on to our various prep schools, where in some cases we found ourselves competing against each other. For example, while I was emailing back and forth with Ann Wiley ’70, editor of class notes, she told me that Peter Kirkpatrick ’61 revealed to her that he and I played against each other in baseball when he was at South Kent, and I at Salisbury. Peter was a killer pitcher, and I played third base. Ann told me that Peter recalled how I “hit a triple off of him one time to win a game…!” Personally, I don’t recall that moment in my baseball career, but what I do remember is that Peter had a wicked curveball that I could never hit! I definitely recall Peter laughing in one game after he struck me out flailing at one of his impossible pitches to end an inning! Peter and I loved to punt the football, and during the summers we would meet at Marquand Park and have a “punting marathon” — one punter opposite the other. A perfect punt had a beautiful

spiral that would nose over at the top of its arc and dive down like a missile. Peter’s punt was overpowering. He could punt farther than I. Other friendships that I have maintained with the Class of ’61 are with Dickie Reynolds (Dickie and I played together on the undefeated Ivy League Champion Princeton lacrosse team in 1967); we see each other a lot. Randy Hobler and I are in frequent email conversation, and I often watch Princeton lacrosse games with Ward Kuser.

But now I need to focus on my class notes! For starters, I must begin with Brock Putnam (Milton Academy ’63; Amherst, major in dramatic arts, B.A.; Brandeis, M.F.A.; Harvard, Ed.M.). When I asked Brock to give me a “quick” rundown about what he has been up to, he took a deep breath and reported the following: “It’s a very interesting life story.” He recounted that after a rather limited success in trying to create a career as an actor/director, he became a teacher at a small private boarding school outside of Boston, rationalizing that he could have a paycheck and still be able to be a theater rat in summer stock. He also worked at various times as a disc jockey and an advertising copywriter. In order to keep a multi-generation house in the family (an old farm), he went back to grad school for a master’s in education, which gave him Connecticut teacher certification. Brock lives in Litchfield, a small town west of Hartford. From here on, I’ll let Brock do the talking:

“I was married to Deborah Hamlet (yes, that REALLY was her name!), Mount Holyoke ’72, in September of 1973. We had a son, Ben. Deb was a terrific art teacher while I taught English, history and drama. Ben is an amalgam of both of our interests. He now goes as ‘BendelaCreme’ and is a ‘drag queen’ who has made quite a

success for himself (just Google him). He broke into the national consciousness (at least in a rather specific field) when he appeared in RuPaul’s Drag Race. (Again, Google it.) He has toured all through the U.S. and Canada, and also the United Kingdom, Australia and Brazil. Deb and I had been married for just over 20 years when, at the age of 43, she finally succumbed to Hodgkin’s Disease. We had dealt with it for more than 14 years. Ben was 12 at the time.

“I taught at New Milford High School for 23 years. I coached an academic competition team, served on the contract negotiations team, created a Gay-Straight Student Alliance, and conducted student trips to Quebec, France, Italy and eventually, Russia. I was part of a ‘hands across the sea’ group that sponsored teacher and student exchange homestays. It was through that program that I met an English teacher from Nizhny Novgorod (it was called ‘Gorky’ in the Soviet era), Marina Razhova. Three years of courtship across eight time zones (and some whopping phone bills) resulted in our marriage a couple of days before Y2K. We were pleased to see that the lights stayed on! Marina now teaches ESL (English as a Second Language) in a nearby middle school.

“Marina came with two children, Anna and Anton. They attended local schools on the way to Hofstra (Anna) and UConn (Anton.) Anna, shortly after giving birth to our beautiful granddaughter, Alexa, was diagnosed with stage four colorectal and liver cancer. She moved back in with us since we’re inside a triangle of worldclass cancer centers in Boston (Dana Farber), Yale/New Haven (Smilow) and New York (Memorial Sloan-Kettering). Anna lost a fouryear fight last April. She was 36. We share time with four-year old Alexa with Anna’s former husband. She is a delight and has ‘Opa’ (me)

wrapped right around her little finger. I shudder to think what may happen in the future when she realizes it!

“I have been sporadically involved in theatrical productions in the area, but it’s a rare audition notice that calls for 76-year-old actors! I’ve been doing some writing as well, so far having gotten rejection slips from some very prestigious magazines. So, there I am in a nutshell.

“As to getting together with you and Davy Davis, Jonny Howland, Alex Patton and Murad Sayen, etc. (after Covid has faded) I will have a looser schedule and be more amenable to travel sometime down the line. Weird what sticks in one’s mind. To wit, I can still hear Mr. Whitehead calling roll in our sixth form classroom: ‘Aul, Brinkerhoff, Edwards, Hart, Howland, Jackson, Kuser, Odden, Pettit, Putnam, Sayen, Smoyer, Wright.’ Some sequences stay embedded in your mind long after you have no use of them whatever!”

Last spring, Davy Davis, Jonny Howland and I had a wonderful visit together in Cambridge. Of course, one of the events we just had to attend was the Princeton-Harvard lacrosse game. While in college, Davy and I had the thrill of playing against each other on the lacrosse field four times!! Sadly, for Davy, Princeton won all four games. However, much to Davy’s enjoyment,

Harvard BEAT Princeton during this visit! After the game Jonny, his wife, Liz, Davy and Tink, Megan and I had a special time together over dinner with a lot of conversation. We had tried with all of our might to get Alex Patton and his wife to attend, but they had another event on their social calendar.

Now some news about Percy “Peter” Hoxie Wood . Davy Davis and I have had numerous phone conversations with Peter during this past year. As reported in last fall’s Journal, he had retired from his position at FedEx, and was living the ‘bachelor’s life’ in Olive Branch, MS. He called me last week to say that he was tired of living the ‘southern life,’ had sold his house and was on his way to Vermont where he is going to live with his sister, Amy, until he can find a suitable solution to his housing needs. His brother, Allen, is also living in Vermont, which will be convenient as a possible backup plan. Peter’s son, Kyle, and his Thai wife, Bim, are living in Memphis, TN. Peter’s Venezuelan daughter, Marlene, and her boyfriend are still living in Caracas.

So, for now…that’s all the news that’s fit to print.

Only Richard Reynolds stirred to send in reports that his research on plastic in far-flung dust seems not to reach the upper strata of government policy or the media. And Randy Hobler forwarded a copy of the obituary of our long-lost Guy Vicino, who went to Lawrenceville, Boston University and the University of Miami before serving in the Coast Guard. He worked as an interior decorator and yacht broker, living in Fort Lauderdale, FL, where he died in 1988. A wonderful guy I remember for his great sense of humor.

Many thanks to Jack McCarthy for his dedicated service as class correspondent for at least 20 years. And even more thanks to Jack for recruiting a new class correspondent, John Gaston. Welcome aboard, John!

This is our 60th, gentlemen. Where has it all gone? We had a class of 40 or so guys, about 20 left for boarding school from the fifth form while the remainder stayed through the sixth. Like the rest of the school, we were divided into two teams, the Whites and the Blues. Although I’m sure it was not intended, the Whites seemed to be more athletic, like Donaldson, Eckels, Vogel, Tibbals and Delano and the Blues more academic, like McCarthy, Elmer, Myers and Marcus. We were also fortunate enough to have some great masters like Mr. McAneny, Mr. McCaughan, and Mr. Ackley, but most of all we learned from each other.

I learned compassion from Bob Otis, the guy who genuinely cared about all of us. Otis would do anything for anyone. He won the Lance Raymond Shield for the best all-around first former.

Hal Knox and Colie Donaldson were profiles in courage. Hal got the dreaded polio in one leg very early in his life. He wore a large brace on that leg for years and I never remember him complaining. Donaldson risked his life one summer to save a drowning friend.

The essence of PCD, however, was the culture of extraordinary friendship. I’ve had lifetime experiences with Myers, Otis, Eckels, McCarthy and Delano. Even to this day, we try to meet somewhere on the planet once a year. These guys helped make my life worth living. When I think of my classmates and those days at PCD, I can’t help but feel a sense of wonder.

Thanks to all of you! Please send me your news/ remembrances for the next Journal

About two months ago, I watched a program on ESPN entitled Title IX: 37 Words that Changed America . This year is the 50th anniversary of the federal legislation that “entitled” women to have equal access in both the classroom and on athletic fields. Sometimes our rights as women have come so far, and sometimes, as we know from this year, they have not. Chris Clark Kerr was one of the first women to take advantage of the new law. She had played tennis and field hockey at Princeton High School and Douglass College, followed by a master’s degree in sports psychology at Penn State, with the intent of a career in coaching. In 1973, one year after Title IX was enacted, she was hired as the women’s tennis coach at Dartmouth College. Chris was the second female employee in the Dartmouth Athletic Department’s HISTORY. She coached the women’s tennis team for the next 26 years; her record was 221-125. Our class is so proud of you, Chris!

The Valley News of New Hampshire published an article this past month highlighting Chris’s coaching career and the impact of Title IX. Initially, there were no separate facilities for the women athletes; as a matter of fact, Dartmouth had only begun to admit women to the college in 1972. In 1972, they hired a coach named Agnes Kurtz, the first woman employee of the athletic department, to start the school’s first six women’s teams: basketball, squash, lacrosse, tennis, field hockey and skiing. Kurtz coached many of the teams the first year (she must have been tired!) and then hired Chris in 1973. Chris reported, “There was a men’s faculty locker room, but for the women coaches, even for many years, they had to change in the locker room with all the athletes and undergraduates who wanted a locker.” By the time Chris retired in 1999, the women’s tennis team had its own locker space, and Chris had enough money in her budget to hire an assistant coach. Go Chris! And over the past 20 years, she has continued to coach both men’s and women’s teams (high school and college) in the Dartmouth area. Most recently, she coached a high school men’s tennis team and said that there is a difference in working with boys and girls. Oh yes.

Enid Sackin Reddick wrote that a few years ago she and John “took photos of squirrels lying on top of our fences. They were taken on really hot days and we thought maybe it was their way of cooling off. Having just finished a Washington Post article on this very topic, we learned this squirrel behavior is called ‘splooting.’ NYC Department of Parks and Recreations explained, ‘If you see a squirrel lying splayed out, don’t worry, it’s just fine. On hot days, squirrels keep cool by splooting on cool surfaces to reduce body heat.’” Since this summer has been one of heat waves for many of us, perhaps we should sploot more? I just need to find a wide enough fence to hold me.

Katherine “Kitzi” Becker wrote this month (August) that she had a mini-CBS reunion with co-worker, Tim Kennedy, in March. It’s good to see old friends, isn’t it? She also mentioned that “it has rained in Asheville almost every day for two months. June was dry and I was watering madly, and now sometimes the thunderstorms are so terrific we get two and a half inches an hour. But when the sun does pop out, so do the bears. Last week, I was out in the yard on trash day and suddenly noticed a bear raiding my neighbor’s trash can, about 60 feet from me. He/she made a quick job of it. Then the bear walked behind me on the road and hit my other neighbor’s trash can. I was about 10 feet from him! The bear did a grab-and-go and turned full speed up the mountain with his bagged picnic. I was so amazed looking at all this it didn’t occur to me how vulnerable I was!” Good thing the bear didn’t sploot, Miss Kate. You wouldn’t have been able to move until he cooled off.

Kirsty Pollard Lieberman had numerous snowstorms hit her Colorado home this year, but the big one in May dropped 18 inches. I am sure her doggies enjoyed the white stuff.

She wrote that she has adopted a new basset hound, named Emmett, and that “he is a holy terror.” Emmett joined Boris, her beautiful Great Pyrenees, who has dealt with these bassett hounds before. Young cats and dogs are not as easy to raise these days for us older folks, I think! My Maine Coon kittens got into more

trouble than I ever anticipated. Still working as a securities lawyer at Empower, Kirsty is considering retiring next year. Concerned more and more about wildfire danger in the foothills where she and Allen live in Colorado, they are thinking about possibly moving in the future. Given the incredible number of wildfires around the West, I can understand that threat. If we in Santa Barbara get another big fire, I, too, may move. It is frightening to witness.

Andrea Hicks and husband Marshall traveled to Europe this summer, visiting Amsterdam and England. Andrea continues to share her gratitude photos on Facebook. Her photographs have always been terrific, and I suspect we will be seeing more of them since Andrea’s retirement.

Margery Cuyler reported that she and Jan (who just celebrated his 80th birthday) were packing up and moving from their home in Lawrenceville. “It’s been a long hot summer of getting rid of stuff, like shedding skin. I donated ten cartons of children’s books to the Trenton Free Library and sending more tomorrow to Uvalde, TX. We’ve always lived in old-fashioned, quirky houses loaded with charm but not much practicality.” Margery just reported she had moved into her new digs, August 26: a modern townhouse with no basement, very little storage and NO MAINTENANCE!! “It’s going to give me more time to write, read, meditate and enjoy my hubby. I hope I won’t grow fat and lazy!”

I sincerely doubt that will happen Margery! Congratulations on living maintenance-free. But you are still going to have to brush your teeth.

Sarah Jaeger is happy to report that after a twoyear Covid hiatus she got back in the studio in the spring. The Bray Foundation offers community classes where Sarah can use their studios and try out new ways of doing ceramics. “This spring I was trying to work out a new palette and didn’t quite get there. It is such a luxury now, not to sell my work. I can invent a

problem or question for myself and spend as long as I want working on it. At this age, I am more interested in the process — the end product is secondary.” Sarah continues to take daily walks with her dog, Oona, in the park with ADA trails. Her regime of stationary biking, doing PT exercises and walking have enabled her to maintain her active life.

Since I haven’t seen my siblings in three years (due to Covid), I have been able to make some PDS alum connections. In May, I had the pleasure of meeting again with Vicki Willock ’71 in Santa Barbara. It’s been wonderful to reconnect with her over the past year — Mercer Road neighbors forever. My family is placing a memorial stone for my dad at the Princeton Chapel. The University people I had been working with had retired and a new person was assigned to work with me in August. Who could that be? Yuki Moore Laurenti ’75. As soon as she said her name on the phone, I KNEW it was fellow PDS grad Yuki Moore, and like me, a PDS class correspondent. She now works for the University, and we’ve enjoyed catching up –– and discussed how hard it is to get NEWS from our classmates. HINT.

In April, after two full years of labor-intensive work, I finally finished my Hobler-Windsor family digital archives for my family. Going through more than 220 family scrapbooks from my grandparents and parents, I scanned photos, marriage licenses, family history, obituaries and even basketball scores. I placed over 8000 items, divided into folders by multiple ancestral families, on external drives. I found family members going back to the 1450s in England, and learned about a third great-grandfather, a young 15-year-old British sailor, who had been captured by the American ship USS Constitution in 1815, during the War of 1812 war. He later became a Congregational minister and moved to the wilds of Iowa in 1842. And yes, I cannot tell you how relieved I am to be finished with this project!

I’ve also enjoyed being a member of the Smithsonian Associates that offers online lectures and courses that have been fascinating. Join! Topics I’ve Zoomed include: The War of 1812, Arlington National Cemetery, 60 years of Bond, James Bond, The History of African American Cooking and many more. It’s a great way to learn without moving! And after years of research, I am now returning to write my book on the illustrated letters of Frederick Stuart Church, a Gilded Age artist who was a family friend of my great grandparents. It seems everything is relative to me these days.

Phoebe Knapp’s sculpture, Tablet, was installed permanently at the Ames Free Library in North Easton, MA, in July. Phoebe created the sculpture from 12-foot-high slabs from walnut trees that grew along the Northern California coast, and the piece is “threaded” together with rings made of black iron pipe dipped in copper. The sculpture evokes books from ancient through modern times and the inspiration Phoebe has gained from books. The Ames library was designed by H.H. Richardson, and the grounds and Italianate garden by F.L. Olmsted.

“It’s very 19th century!” Phoebe said. “I’m thrilled to have a contemporary piece in this wonderful environment!”

Julia Lockwood wrote: “We’ve had a great summer. Rachel was here for six weeks to enjoy summer in Maine and now is back in Boise. The highlight of our spring was our June trip to Spain. Marc and I walked the last 70 miles of the Camino Frances from Sarria to Santiago de Compestella. It was tiring but doable, as we had our luggage transported and hotels lined up. Afterwards, we toured the Rijoa Valley and ended up in Valladolid where we stayed with Mary Young Bragado and her husband, Max. We had a great time with them. Hopefully, they’ll be coming to the states next year so we can return the favor.”

Francoise Foassier wrote: “In August, I spent two great weeks in the Azores, walking and swimming. Back home, the fires in the southwest of France have been put out, but temperatures are still very high, and the heat is tiring. The region is waiting for a good rainfall!”

Pam Erickson MacConnell wrote: “It’s been a busy and hot summer in Florida with a rainstorm almost every afternoon and crazy humidity! My husband, John, and our son, Jay, went to England with two friends to taste English beers like the ones Jay has been brewing. They went to 100 pubs in two weeks doing taste testing. I stayed home and enjoyed the quiet time in my quilting studio, making two quilts for our niece who is expecting twins in October.

“Later in the summer, I went to Macon, GA where our daughter lives, to cover the gap when her husband had teachers’ pre-planning and she was at a camp in Alabama to observe for a week. I handled the open house with them for first and fourth grade and also the first day of school.”

Pam also spent a week in the North Carolina mountains north of Asheville in August, where she and her husband “enjoyed poking around several towns and visiting quilting shops and local breweries.”

Gail Smith Cleare reported: “We aren’t really having a vacation this summer. We did go to Boston to watch our youngest son, Ryan, receive his Master of Mechanical Engineering from B.U. in May. In September, we’re going to Florida for a few days to visit our middle son, Justin, and his family in Boca Raton, but those trips aren’t like going to Maine and relaxing for a week or two at Lake Sebago. Everyone in our family has had Covid, except Bruce and me. So, we’ll probably catch it when we fly to Florida, I suppose. Masks mandatory!

“We are loving our new home in Vermont, which is gorgeous and much cooler than the states south of here. Boating on Lake Champlain is fantastic. I spend a lot of time in the garden, and babysitting my surprise pandemic baby granddaughter, Maeve. She is so much fun! Also working on my next novel, sequel to The Taste of Air, which was a bestseller, and hoping for similar success with the new book.”

Gail Cleare has written for newspapers, magazines, Fortune 50 companies and AOL. Her award-winning ad agency represented the creators of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. She was the turtle Leonardo’s date for the world premiere of the second TMNT movie and got to wear a black evening gown and sparkly shoes.

Rick Ross wrote: “Cheers! We took a week-long trip to Nashville, Newburgh and French Lick, IN, and Louisville (golf-related ). Toured the Country Music Hall of Fame, had breakfast to the strains of C&W and blues, and a visit to Churchill Downs where I scooped up some of the track.

We’re off to Italy for a longer trip: Florence, the Maremma, Venice, and Lugano CH.

“A nod to Gillian whose photographs are phenomenal and have given me the daily boost of her postings. Check them out on FB.”

From Ann McClellan’s Christmas letter, we learned that her mom, Mary Liz, passed away on Feb. 2, 2021; gratefully she was vibrant and present to the last. Condolences to Ann from the entire Class of 1968.

The letter also indicated that Ann was to receive a very prestigious award, the Order of the Rising Sun, Gold and Silver Rays from the Government of Japan, recognizing her “contributions of introducing Japanese culture and promoting friendly relations between Japan and the United States.”

Although Covid has caused some aspects of her life to be on hold or postponed, Ann’s new cherry blossom book is expected to be published in 2023. She has enjoyed taking classes and attending lectures via Zoom. She especially loved the Frick curatorial staff presentations and takes a lot of classes offered by the Smithsonian Associates, focusing mainly on art history. Her only major regret in life is that she was a thesis short of a double major in history and art history at Goucher College. She is making up for it now! She is also continuing her study of French.

From Mary Hobler Hyson: In August, we had three quarters of the family together in Bridgton, ME, where we have vacationed since 1980. We are planning to go to Kansas City in September to see our youngest son, his wife and two grands, Peter (five) and George (six months). We were supposed to take the trip in May, but Covid sidelined us. We are enjoying the more relaxed pace of day-to-day life now that Eric has been retired for over a year.

Sadly, we were informed by Joan Merrick Schneeweiss ’74 that our classmate “ Deborah Merrick Estes passed away on August 11, 2022. She was diagnosed with early onset Alzheimer’s in 2013; when her doctor confirmed the diagnosis he said, ‘Deborah, you have so many brain cells left. Continue to enjoy life and stay engaged.’

With that, her husband, Charlie, who passed away in 2015, announced to family, ‘We’re off to France!’ Deborah continued to sing in the church choir (her love of singing started with the PDS Madrigals), make art, enjoy time with family and friends, and participate in group activities (she especially loved to dance). She passed comfortably under hospice care with her children by her side.”

I, personally, met Deb when we were both new students at Valley Road School in Princeton. She lived a block from me for many years until the family moved out of town. She was always kind and gentle. She went to PDS, I believe, in ninth grade, and I followed in 10th. Our deepest sympathy to her family.

Her dear friend, Kathy Gorman Colket, wrote a lovely remembrance: “Deborah Merrick Estes (or Deb as I called her) and I met in 1965, in ninth grade. The thing about her is that everyone liked her. Deb was smart, kind, generous, happy and very, very patient. She was a top student and an even better friend. Our ninth-grade history teacher, Mr. McCaughan, used to call us ‘the buddies.’ She was maid of honor at my wedding, and a godmother to my daughter. An environmental lawyer, she lived all her adult years in DC. She married twice, first to Richard Baenen and then to Charles Estes, with whom she shared 25 happy years, until his tragic death in 2015. She leaves a daughter, Alison Baenen, and a son, Peter Estes.”

Beth Healy and her husband, Jack, visited with Blair in NYC in May. The visit included dinner with Anne Healy ’71. Blair said, “Anne and I used to hang out a great deal when Beth abandoned (how could she do that??) NYC for New Hampshire. Hmmm, can’t seem to convince her that was a dubious choice.”

Susan Schnur wrote: “Life is good! My youngest daughter, Megan, married Steve Wickline this past April combining their families of two eightyear-old girls, two six-year-old boys, a five-yearold boy and a four-year-old girl and awaiting a little girl. Life is full.”

My wish is for all to find joy in this year ahead and in the remembrance of family and friends.

Lucia “Chia” Ballantine submitted via Wavelength: “Hello Classmates, I have spent last year in Portland, OR getting to know my grandson, Francis, and being ‘Granmu’ for my daughter, Bess. I am returning to Concord, MA on September 1. Portland as a place not at all to my 71-year-old disposition. I enjoyed my cross-country voyage last fall. We are indeed 14 nations. I supply as clergy in Diocese of MA; create Dinner Murder occasions; walk and wonder about it ALL. Would love to connect with those nearby.”

Doug Rieck is still actively washing cars and working normal six-day weeks. Post-pandemic labor shortages have increased his hours. “I live on LBI in the same bayfront house that my parents had during high school days (lifted and rebuilt after Sandy). My 19-year-old daughter finished her freshman year at UCF in Orlando: Dean’s List (art major) and just went back for her sophomore year. She loves UCF and the area, and I enjoy visiting. Warmer there in the winter. My son graduated from Southern Regional this past June. He is starting at Stockton University this September. I clearly remember PDS and enjoyed telling my kids about it. Possibly I am the last class member to get my kids in college. Best wishes to all of you.”

Rosette Gault wrote with news about her exhibit October 1-31 at Realogic Sotheby’s on Bainbridge Island near Seattle. It features art selections from her new illustrated (159 plates) luxury artist book, Realm, which will launch at the opening. It was 40 years in development (maybe 60! No, 70! Maybe 170!) because it shows art from grandmothers and great-grandmothers, too! The book will have a public reading next year at the Princeton Public Library and may also be available at the art museum gift store along with greeting cards. A link to Realm can be found online through Artseed Books and Media’s website.

Jeanie Gorman Wilson wrote after her lengthy trip up to Cape Cod, “I spent two nights in Bay Head, NJ with childhood friend, Betsy Bristol Sayen on my drive north. Dede Pickering ’71 joined us for dinner one night at the Bay Head Yacht Club. Jane Wiley came for a night in East Falmouth; we enjoyed two delicious seafood meals. We met up again later to hear a singer friend of mine at Greenvale Vineyard (near Newport, RI).

Prior to our reunion: Jack Kilgore sent the following note prior to the reunion: “I would LOVE to be with all of you in Princeton! I really messed this one up and scheduled a trip at the same time to the Bahamas to help sail a boat with an old friend (not as old as Lew!). I know that this sounds grand, but it really isn’t. This friend recently had open heart surgery and it is his last trip, hauling his boat back to Newport. So, I committed to help him to do this. My wife, Kim, and daughter, India, both say I am an idiot for not ‘jumping ship,’ but I cannot do this to him. PDS is such an important reunion. There are so many pals I want to see. We all went through an odd chapter (Beatles, Mr. Gregory, George Packard, Moyne Smith, belt buckles on the side, English Leather and Chichinyah!!!!!?) It may be a final chance and

I totally screwed up…. Love to be with all of you. Our friendships were a tremendous gift and missing this reunion is a true life-loss to me, like much of the past, it is a huge regret. Maybe a dinner later in New York? But this never will be the same. Lives once crossed seldom cross again. Love all of you!”

Allison Gilbert Kozicharow was unable to attend our reunion because her daughters and grandchildren were throwing her a 70th birthday party the week after the reunion; she was afraid of getting Covid and having to cancel the party.

Diane Erickson was unable to attend our reunion because her granddaughter was in a dance recital.

Linda McCandless wrote: “I was hoping to make the 50+2 PDS Reunion and your lovely dinner on Friday, Meg. But it’s a busy time at Miller Creek Farm with lots of new lambs and some ewes still to give birth, plus we are hosting a wedding here in a few short weeks, so it’s all hands-on deck. So much for retirement, but now I have time to focus on this crazy fiber venture, which for too long has been on the back burner.”

Calvin Johnson wrote: “Long time wow! Sorry for the late check-in. In short, back in December

in my bi-weekly 3-on-3 hoops game I finally pushed myself too hard and seriously injured my knee. I’m in the last phase of my physical therapy and I’m still a bit limited in what my mobility can endure. So, I can’t drive down to participate for Friday night or Saturday.”

Joan Williams was in Italy at the time of our reunion. She wrote: “I am so sad to miss it! I am in a ‘residency’ supposedly working!”

Tom Berger wrote: “I, too, will miss this great event because I am tied up with overseas visitors in London (where I have been living/working for the past 33 years). I am looking forward to the class photos in the PDS Journal !

Lindsey Hicks “had hoped to come to the reunion weekend but had work obligations that will keep me away. I’m working on a research project on innovation with teachers in Hong Kong and have an all-day PD workshop on Sunday. A link to the project can be found on Harvard’s website.”

Barbara Sturken Peterson wrote: “I had been hoping to come to the reunion, but it now appears I will have to miss it again! I’m going to a meeting in Iceland, of all places, and as it’s for work, I don’t feel I can refuse. I’d been thinking (and hoping) it would be postponed due to rising Covid case numbers, but they’re forging ahead nonetheless.”

Eve Robinson was unable to attend the reunion as she needed to stick close to home that weekend, but she wanted to say “Hi!” to everyone.

Cintra Huber McGauley sent much love to all, but she was unable to attend the reunion because her daughter recently had a baby, making life even more busy!

From August:

Judi Migliori wrote that she was unable to attend our reunion as two of her grandsons in Atlanta graduated; David from high school and Luke from eighth grade. After that, she and Frank drove to McCall/Cascade, ID where they stayed until mid-September “enjoying mountain life away from home in steamy Jupiter, FL. Turning 70 in the mountains was easier. I would have hated having to be the center of attention at a party in Florida.” In Idaho, she stayed very close to her brother, John Migliori, and his family who live in Boise and own a home in McCall. Her sister, Jill Migliori ’77, who lives near Judi in Jupiter, spent a chunk of her summer with them out west as well. Judi was hoping her cousin, Laura Farina ’79, would also join them. “A big thanks from all of us in our family to Sandy Bing h’87. He knows why. I hope everyone is staying healthy and enjoying life. Thanks to all who worked hard to organize us for this event.”

Pam Orr Marck wrote: “Jack and I received an amazing 70th birthday present from the CDC. Our birthday is June 12, which was the first day they lifted the Covid testing requirement for passengers flying into the U.S. We had just spent 12 days in Switzerland, and we didn’t know it yet, but we caught Covid there. Had we tested, we would have had to quarantine in Zurich instead of coming home. It was tough having to isolate when we got back, as we were eager to see our brand-new granddaughter, but at least we were in our home instead of a 12’x12’ hotel room in Zurich! What a way to spend our birthday and start this new decade!?

“We spent lots of time with our daughters and their families (including our five grandchildren) on the Cape this summer and look forward to returning to our home on the west coast of Florida for the winter. Hopefully, my ankle, knee and previously broken wrist will hold up for another season of tennis, pickleball, golf, etc!”

Diane Erickson wrote: “Currently enjoying the cooler air here in the mountains of NC. Latest hike was rough, but beautiful; three and half mile loop with a beautiful waterfall, and 622 feet elevation change.

“My most exciting news is that I have been accepted into a juried art festival with over 50,000 visitors each year. Excited — and a bit scared.

“Other wonderful news, my granddaughter, age four and a half, has started pre-K and likes to come home after school and catch, clean, and cook her supper.

“Taking this semester off from teaching, but plan to be back at the university for spring semester.

“Enjoy seeing Naurene Donnelly frequently for our trivia games at the wine shop.”

Lew Bowers wrote: “I did get Covid at the reunion and subsequently gave it to my wife, Susan. We both took Paxlovid, and our cases were mild, although it took two weeks to get clear. It has been a warm but beautiful summer here in Portland. Our granddaughter came to visit from New Orleans. In December, we will get together with our daughter in Santa Cruz. I spent a week in Madison recently at the 2022 National Cohousing Conference. Three hundred folks talking about cohousing. It has been our first in person conference since 2019. I am on the board, so I had various responsibilities.”

I ( Ann) dodged getting Covid from our reunion. I was worried as I left for Portugal on a riverboat trip on the Douro River five days after the reunion. It was wonderful — a beautiful river — and I highly recommend AmaWaterways cruises. At the time of my return, we still had to be tested to get back into the U.S. I tested negative. However, the day after I got home, my good luck had run out and I tested positive. So happy I got home and didn’t spend a week in a hotel in Porto.

Symptoms weren’t too bad until I started taking Paxlovid; had horrible stomach issues for nearly two weeks. Riverboat trips planned for this December (Christmas Markets on the Danube) and then in April, I will be on the Rhone River through Provence.

Margaret Meigs really enjoyed “the very lovely and fun reunion. SO nice to see folks there. Those of you who couldn’t come, we missed you.

“After the reunion, my life took a sad and unex pected turn. On June 24, my husband, Paul Laskow, died suddenly of a massive heart attack, suffered while rowing on the Schuylkill — his pastime of more than 50 years. His obit can be found online via The Philadelphia Inquirer.

“To lose one’s life partner is a passage some of us have already experienced — and more of us will. It is so dislocating and even surreal. I know I will be okay, thanks in part to my amazing children, grandchildren, extended family on both sides, the rowing community and friends accumulated from living almost 50 years in Philadelphia.

“My only advice: Life is short. Live it up. No regrets.”

Margaret, on behalf of the entire class, please accept our deepest sympathies.

Lisa Warren submitted via Wavelength: “The weather was spectacular, the company fantastic and the food was terrific for our do-over 50th reunion at Katie’s beautiful Princeton home. It was great to see so many classmates from near and far. Speaking of far, George Treves joined us all the way from Italy but somehow managed not to be in the Friday night gathering group pic.

Let me just say wow! Wow! to a fantastic 50th reunion (thanks in very large part to Alex Laughlin and lovely wife, Janet, and his dedicated band of supporters) and wow! to all you classmates who sent in notes to me — this is overwhelming in a wonderful way!

Ginny Myers Kessler was the first to respond to my request for news so a big thank you to you, Ginny! She shared the following: “The reunion sounded like it was wonderful, and I was so very sorry to miss it. My plans to attend were derailed by a positive Covid test (which turned out to be a false positive) on the morning we were to fly out. My fingers are crossed that we can plan another some year soon!

“I am still in Madison, WI even though Greg and I spend a month or so at my family’s farm in Ventura, CA. I’ve been retired from teaching at the local high school for some time now, but the days fill up quickly, especially now that we have three grandchildren, one of whom lives nearby. Our son, John, and his wife, Nicole, bought a house in Madison a couple of years ago and have a little boy, Teddy. John is getting certified as an elementary school teacher and hopes for a job in Madison. Nicole is the program manager for the Wisconsin Association of School Counselors. It’s great to have them nearby. Our daughter, Lane, lives with her husband, Bill, and their two daughters, Ginny and Zuzu, in Chinook, WA. Lane plans on attending nursing school for her RN after deciding she had had enough of the seasonal marine biology field work. Bill continues to commercially fish for albacore tuna off the Pacific Northwest. They love the Northwest and I’m afraid our lack of an ocean here severely limits our chances of them moving to the Midwest. Luckily, we do get to spend big chunks of time with them either here, in Chinook, or in California.

“Greg continues to work as the director of renewable resources for the California Association of Sanitation Agencies, which luckily involves telecommuting and some travel rather than a move west for us. He worked extensively these past few years on the use of wastewater surveillance as a means of detecting Covid in communities nationwide. Needless to say, he was very busy! I fill my days with hobbies such as rug hooking and gardening as well as walking, biking and teaching myself Spanish with friends. Fed up with some recent political developments, I have been volunteering as a local canvasser, something I swore off years ago. I’ve also been working on writing a narrative genealogical history — it’s amazing how much time it can take!

“I hope this finds everyone well and, of course, sending in lots of information to John. Many thanks to you John!”

Tom Reynolds wrote: “I had a wonderful bit of news from my oncologist Friday; the treatment is working in that the lesions are shrinking and my PSA continues to drop. Nothing is forever and I know what I am up against, but I’ll take all the good news I can! Truly, better living through science, and the research on this damned disease continues to reveal more and better effective treatments. I am one grateful sod!

“Reunions were, to quote most, such a blast! I so loved seeing everyone and getting some quality visitation in with many. It was so wonderful to see Nan Schluter and Steve Zudnak for the first time in 50 years!! They were beautiful and must never stay away again!

“I lost my son, Will, on May 24, 2021. Bipolarism is so hard and such a mystery and effects so many. He was so intelligent and talented, and the demons kept taking him over until he couldn’t stand it. The only positive thing is that he is tormented no more. But I so miss the good Will. Love to all my classmates.”

Sally Rogers Smith experienced the nightmare travel mess-ups of spring 2022. She finally arrived at our class reunion at Alex ’s after midnight that Friday night, so most of us missed seeing her. She shared the following: “God has blessed me beyond measure with five grandchildren under five. Two live in NC with my oldest daughter and three are here in Dallas, 10 minutes away. I am a full-time, hands-on gramma and reliving the joy of parenting and the delight of going home each evening weary from the constant activity. I have done lunch with Tommy Reynolds, and he is the other highlight to TX besides my family.”

Michael Claggett shared the fact that he had just left his job and due to his “overactive sense of responsibility” put in three weeks of 10-hour days trying to leave them in as good a position as possible. “I will be starting a new job on the 15th and until then have this delicious week of zero responsibility (except to make good on the promise

to my wife to clean up my office/music room). I’m excited about the new opportunity. As a software engineer, it’s important to work on something challenging and interesting. The team I’m going to be joining seems very chill and there was a lot of meeting of the minds during the interview process around how we mutually look at software development.

“I loved my previous job, until we got bought by a company that has a strategic commitment to a different technology platform than the one I have twenty-plus years experience with. And then my company’s management also started making really bad decisions and promising their new masters all sorts of crazy stuff that progressively reduced the quality of work life for the rest of us. So, it was time to go. Feeling blessed that at the age of 67, I happened to encounter the job market at a really hot time when there was relatively high demand and low supply of my skill sets. But it’s all really low stakes; if my assessment of the new gig turns out to be off the mark, then I will just retire.

“The main reason why I needed to switch jobs (over and above what I mentioned above), is that recently I started putting together a new band and I needed a less demanding job situation with better work/life balance. The band is named Bakersfield and we’re doing a tribute to 50 years of quality country rock music, folks like Merle Haggard, the Byrds, the Flying Burrito Brothers, Willie and Waylon, a bunch of the hipper Nashville folks, and a host of others. Musicianship is very strong, as are the vocals, and the lineup includes drums, bass, guitar/keys (me), lead Telecaster guitar, pedal steel/dobro and female vocals. Should be a lot of fun.

“That’s about it from my end. My wife is still very active in her family therapy work (just not our family) and my 27-year-old daughter is now trying to figure out what to do postCovid. Until she does, she has a nice remote job working as the third person in a three-person company along with the two co-founders, where she has a lot of responsibility for customer care

and feeding as well as product development. This software is targeted at publishing agents and book scouts; her first job after graduating from Columbia was working for a book agent/ film producer and that is what led to this. This is not really what she wants to be doing in the long run, but it’s a good gig. She has become an essential asset to them, so they are paying her a full-time salary and letting her work about thirty hours a week (wish I could get a gig like that).”

Brigid Moynihan wrote: “What new? Well… it’s hot as hell and the world is going there, but wasn’t it wonderful being together? So, many thanks to y’all who hosted and organized! My husband, Ray, and I have four adult children by two marriages and five grandkids — all very active and empowered boys. Their parents have demanding careers, way beyond anything I can keep up with. My two kids keep me humble. They are progressives, confident, entrepreneurial and highly independent. They have taught me to step back and (miracle of miracles) sometimes keep my mouth shut when I disagree. Getting older is humbling but I have time now to live half the year in Truro on the Outer Cape and the other half in NYC where I write plays, tell Moth stories, toil over fiction

and often ponder how lucky we were to grow up in a much easier time and place, at least for us lucky ones. I wish my classmates a wonderful next chapter and look forward to the next time we gather. Let’s hope we can say we’re happy that things turned out better than expected. Don’t hesitate to come visit! You can reach me at brigidemoynahan@gmail.com.”

Kacey Constable shared the following: “My daughter, Hadley (27), now lives in Manhattan and works at Pace Galleries. She loves her work, her friends, and her life there. After our fab PDS reunion (and communal Covid cases) I spent a good part of the summer mentoring women sailors and/or racing at our local yacht club in Essex, CT. It’s small time, but we love it. Also, I continue to work on improving my golf game.

“Paul and I celebrated 30 years of marriage on July 4th with a good-sized party and a fun band. It was a great time, but we missed several members of the wedding including my brother, Howe, Karin Grosz , and Mary Johnson. On the other hand, Beth Johnson and Turner Price joined in, making it that much more fun!

“Paul and I are currently in Ireland. We were supposed to fly out together on a Friday, but the day before departure I complicated matters by having my appendix out. I made it here a full week later, missing half the vacation, but I’m awfully glad to have made it at all! Temperatures in the 70’s and sunny. Not classic ‘Irish weather’ but very welcome!”

Susan Ecroyd wrote: “Kudos to Ginny!!!! She was always one of our most dependable classmates! And, John, keep the faith! The rest of us are not disinterested — just disorganized! And thank you so very much for taking on this thankless task. Very much like herding cats. Thanks again to Alex and Janet for hosting such a fantastic party. My husband, David Flanders, and I had such a good time. I was struck again by how very lucky we were to be at least partially shaped by the experience of being in school together. While the influence of the school and its faculty were vital, I think that the influence that we all had on each other was just as important. And we have all turned into such unique, interesting, amiable and involved people.

“As to updated news, I really don’t have any. Summer in Wisconsin is a magical time. And Madison is an amazing place to live. Concerts, top-notch theatre, small town festivals, amazing canoeing, biking, kayaking, and clear, cool evenings when the sun doesn’t set until 9:30 at night. Madison was just voted one of the ten most fit cities in the U.S. That said, I have been restricted from most of those outdoor activities as I inattentively broke a toe and have been dragging about in a boot-thingie for about a month. Ridiculous how something so little can hurt so much. And you feel so silly and whiney turning down expeditions onto the lake or into the hills because of a stupid broken toe! There is nothing thrilling or romantic about a broken toe — not like a dueling scar or a fashionable skiing injury.”

A nice surprise was hearing from Kate Merlino! She wrote: “The accounts of the reunion were so wonderful I was doubly sorry I missed it, but I went to my niece’s graduation in Colorado that same weekend instead, happily so. I caught my only case of Covid (so far) there, too, so I am in solidarity with a number of my fellow classmates on that score. These days I am living in NYC (30+ years) and now work at a few different things: freelance public relations for arts clients, part-time at the Metropolitan Opera (not singing, thank God) and occasional decorative painting projects. It keeps me out of trouble.”

Jan Hall Burruss: “I’ve really enjoyed all the emails and photos of reunion and all the news… I couldn’t be there, but I think of you all and remember our bonding years so long ago.

“I continue to deal with health issues, but my great team of doctors has finally been able to diagnose three treatable but currently incurable autoimmune conditions that were probably ticked off by Covid or thyroid cancer (which seems,

according to scans, to be gone!). I am taking powerful immune suppression drugs and other therapies — my favorite word is ‘treatable,’ which I like better than incurable; I’ll take it.

“Otherwise, my family is thriving with my son and his wife having a second daughter on the way in northern Vermont and my youngest daughter getting married in a small family wedding in Maine in October. I’ll be in a mask, and everyone will test at the outside venue, so my doctors think I’ll be ok. I’ve been quadruple boosted and just got the Evusheld FDA emergency-allowed, extra super-plus anti-Covid preventative, so, fingers crossed!

“I’m still working full-time as an activity director at a local nursing home, though now I’m older than some of my residents! We all do our part!”

Steve Zudnak wrote in his low key, humble style: “I wish I had more exciting news. Frankly, my adventures are somewhat boring compared to all the world travelers among us. I did take a 1700-mile motorcycle trip through New England this past June. I rode with my former boss from my working days. He’s a great guy and fun to ride with. We went to Alex Bay first where their annual motorcycle rally was taking place. Thousands of bikes were flooding the small town. That was an interesting adventure. Characters from all walks of life and various motorcycle clubs (some very recognizable and some not so much, but all proudly wearing their club colors) were there and certainly out and about at the clubs at night. After a couple of nights of that party atmosphere, we rode to Lake George, taking the scenic route through the Adirondacks. We spent a night there and then headed to Manchester, VT, and up Rt. 100 thru Smugglers Notch and on to North Hero, VT, where we stayed for a night. That’s a beautiful area up there as you well know. We then went to Lake Placid where we stopped in on a mutual friend before continuing our trip to Old Forge, NY. From there, it was a long ride down Rt. 81 back to Delaware. Our weather was perfect, so there are no complaints there. I plan to ride again this fall to Bar Harbor. Johnny Kalpin and I will be planning to ride that trip. For the record, I do get some static for not stopping in to see more classmates on these motorcycle trips. I would really love to stop and see everyone living in the great Northeast. Unfortunately, I would have to extend my trips by an extra two-three weeks to accomplish that. One day, I hope to be able to do so.

“My wife, two golden retrievers and I have taken some shorter, more local trips. We went to Raystown Lake, PA, for a few nights. We’re headed to Cape May for a few days and to Lake Seneca for our annual wine tasting tour. All fun trips taken with other friends of ours. Other than that, I have been busy playing with a new band since I saw you all in May. Of course, I’m having a blast doing that. I hope this helps you a bit. Sorry, there’s nothing exciting to report. I’m

just having fun, which is what life should be all about. Stay well, John.” Sounds to me like you are having a great life; Steve and I have figured it out quite well!”

Ellen Sussman is a best-selling author, ergo, writer who has not written to me with news, but…has promised a juicy expose and photos (!!!) for the next edition of the Journal. Stay tuned!

There were many poignant moments shared during our 50th reunion Friday night Alex and Janet extraordinaire. One such moment was when the very same Ellen Sussman shared that she grew up in a home with no books. This blew me away for a few reasons, but primarily because in my mind she has always been such an intelligent and literary person. So, I wanted to share the following from her website: “Ellen was born in Trenton, NJ and has lived in Boston, Philly, Baltimore, Los Angeles, Paris and Northern California. She has worked lots of jobs including tennis instructor, restaurant manager and college teacher but through all the transmutations of her life she has been writing, since the age of six, stubbornly, persistently, with great cockiness and wild insecurity, through praise and piles of rejection letters. She has given up her writing career many times, but only for a day or two, and her family has now learned to ignore her new career choices. She is a writer, an almost daily writer, a writer who actually loves to write.” I can’t wait for her upcoming juicy expose.

I was really looking forward to seeing Steve Bash at our 50th reunion. Unfortunately, he could not make it but did share the following: “I have really enjoyed reading everyone’s accounts/ messages/emails of our 50th — before, during and after. I am very disappointed I was not able to join and reconnect with so many of you. All is good with me and my family here in Santa Monica. As I believe I have reported before, in addition to three daughters — now all in their 30’s and all living in North Carolina — I also have a seven-year-old daughter (Stevie) who is entering second grade at Franklin Elementary

John Lockette ’72 and Paul Funk ’72

(for those of you that who live in the area — and I know there are a few of you). My wife, Ann, was elected as PTA president for this coming year, so volunteering and understanding the politics of local public education (not fun) is front and center for me. Ann comes from a long line of local politicians, so she is well suited for the job — and without bias — I can say she is incredible with people and engaging parents and the community regardless of their views, criticisms, or which way they lean. My tennis needs some work, my golf game is pretty good, and my new hobby is watching Stevie surf. At seven, she can get up, drop in and ride a wave better than many much older than her. Life is good. I really would love to see or catch up with anyone living in or around or visiting Santa Monica. Please drop me a note at stevenjbash@gmail.com.”

Jean Beckwith Funk said: “Our 50th class reunion was an extraordinary gift. Like so many others have noted, the event has stayed with me. I think of everyone often and treasure many wonderful conversations and catch-up moments. A million thanks to Alex and Janet, too, for their unparalleled hospitality!

“As many of you saw at the reunion, Paul is back to full tilt after his long Covid journey; we are grateful every single day. I’ll confess that the anxiety and stress I find in the daily headlines has sent me searching for dependable, small joys, so while Paul is still working full-time, I’m enjoying ordinary days of retirement: a lazy hour over coffee each morning, singing in a church choir, walking miles with old pals, Facetime chats with our sweet three-year-old grandson. Two of our sons live in the Pacific Northwest, so we head out there a few times a year, and post-Covid, we make an effort to see our extended families whenever we can. Sending love to all my ’72 pals.”

John Lockette is living the dream (at least for me!). He wrote: “Our PDS Class of ’72 50th reunion was definitely one of the highlights of the year thus far! It was an absolute joy to see so many of our classmates, and to be part of us coming together so harmoniously, thanks in large measure to the incredible hospitality of Alex and Janet Laughlin! Looking forward to our next gathering with great anticipation!

“Another major highlight was my extended journey to the Maldives with my lovely wife, Teresa, to celebrate our 30th anniversary! The journey began with several days of touring and relaxing in Dubai enroute to a week-long cruise aboard the ScubaSpa Yang, a luxury live-aboard scuba dive yacht, and was then capped off with a stay at the fabulous Park Hyatt Maldives Hadahaa. I managed to get in eighteen dives with a few spa treatments sprinkled in. We saw lots of sharks, manta rays, eagle rays and an abundance of other fish and sea creatures among very healthy and vibrant coral reefs! All in all, this was an amazing bucket list adventure! And, of course, looking forward to the next adventure! My best to you and your family and to all our classmates!”

Susan Stix Fisher sent the following: “While visiting Saratoga, my husband discovered Frelinghuysen Morris House & Studio in Lenox, MA, not realizing Kinney is the director. Kinney reminded me that the last time I saw him was at a PDS reunion, maybe our 15th or 25th? I actually remember him from a Halloween party we had in NYC, and he and wife came ‘artfully’ costumed. He hasn’t changed! It was a great afternoon. Kinney is an art historian and teacher of his uncle’s legacy, par excellence. He had us do drawing exercises, totally fun! Besides his uncle’s and wife’s own art, there are works by Léger, Miró, Picasso, Braque and other abstract artists and great furniture from the 30s/40s/50s. It is quite a special place that Kinney has stewarded into the 21st century.”

Michael Felder sent this note along: “Our family has been quite active. We have five children. Our oldest daughter and her husband now live in Paris. My daughter works in areas of ‘communications’ and is involved with issues

of homelessness in Northern Ireland. My oldest son lives in Israel and recently moved to Jerusalem with his wife and children. He works in areas of bilingual translation of Hebrew/English and English/Hebrew, as well as in security, and he is now expanding into computer coding. He spent a few years in one of those elite ‘green beret’ type units in the Israeli army. My younger daughter has now moved with her husband and four small children to Philadelphia where she teaches advanced Judaic studies to girls in a modern orthodox high school. My middle son has just begun medical school in Philadelphia. Currently, he’s interested in the nexus of primary care/public health and social justice. We’ll see where that leads him. My youngest son has just returned from a summer of studying at the London School of Economics. He’ll be finishing up his university education this year.

“Within the last few years, my wife began her own not-for-profit and also works for a second, much larger, not-for-profit organization. Her own organization, Core Connects RI, is a grass roots community whose aim is to inspire, connect, empower and honor Jewish women of all ages and affiliations. Her activities regularly include women from Australia to Hawaii, Mexico, Canada, the U.S., Europe, South Africa and Israel. It’s very exciting to see so many women so energized and excited.

“And I continue in my very busy life of family medicine and bioethics. I have an extremely busy medical practice. And I continue to teach bioethics at Brown University’s medical school. Not long ago, I had a wonderful opportunity to lecture in areas of bioethics, health policy and managed care to the largest HMO in Israel. Recently, I co-authored an article (along with my son who is in medical school) on some of the particular bioethical issues emerging from the Covid pandemic. It has all been very gratifying. And my mother, for the benefit of anyone who remembers her, is alive and kicking and a pleasure at 92+. I think of many of my former classmates often and wish everyone well.”

Susan Bauer Schwinger wrote that she recently traveled to California and stopped in to see Princey Gamblin Kallas in Ventura, where she lives. “It was great seeing her and meeting some of her family. We had not seen each other since the year after we graduated high school.

Anne Macleod Weeks wrote: “My partner, Jim, and I are calling this the ‘lost summer.’ Jim had a toe amputated at the end of May, so we have been in recovery mode all summer. Fortunately, we live in a lovely community where we can sit in our back courtyard and listen to live music in the park across the street. Our dogs demand I be active every day, and with lovely hiking trails, beaches and a great dog park, we get about two hours outside each day (and I love using my Merlin app to identify birds along the way). We moved north for retirement because we hate the heat, but climate change has a different idea, unfortunately, and we have had our share of 30+ C days — not fun when we don’t have air conditioning. I finally got out in my kayak in August — I am always happy and content on the water.

“Jim had a novel accepted for publication in 2023, and we both had short stories accepted into an anthology. I am working hard to finish the first draft of my novel. After teaching advanced writing for 40 years, I figured it was time I took a stab at it myself — Anne Shepherd would

be proud. I have sold more photography this summer than ever before, as tourism has picked up considerably, but that has also meant being cognizant of the damn virus. Our son visited for the first time in almost three years, bringing along our 10-month-old grandson, Amos. It was a great week. One of the things we have loved about retiring to a different country is we have been exposed to a wealth of new music and literature. We now have many new favorite musicians, and we were fortunate to hear Margaret Atwood in an intimate setting in an old meeting house. She was awesome and quite humorous. I keep in touch with Robin, Tucky, Daryl, Hilary, Susan, Liz and Marion. Have thought, lately, about Huson and about Peter Buttenheim. As always, if anyone is visiting Nova Scotia, we are here!”

I’m still working away, mostly from home, here in central Massachusetts. The pandemic does seem to be waning at last if we can believe it. Still missing my dad who died last fall at age 93. He had been doing fairly well; he had all his Covid shots but then the regular flu got him. He had traveled the world, was a great photographer and PR guy, and was always there for my sister, Alyssa ’75, and me, even helped out with a few projects at PDS way back when. We do miss him. Great to hear from you all, take care and have a great year.

Bill McClellan submitted via Wavelength: “I retired from teaching this June. I will be operating my service as a Maine Guide in the summer, and work at the local rink in the winter. As I write this, I would have been getting ready for school right now. It does feel a little weird, but it is definitely less stressful. All the best to ’75ers and looking forward to our 50th in 2025!”

Summer is waning as I write this, with kids back in school and temperatures finally dropping below 100. Even though my boys are grown, I still feel the cycles of the academic calendar — or perhaps they’re just ingrained from my own growing up. I recall a late August in particular, perhaps fifth or sixth grade, when I went to Bam’s with my mom to shop for school clothes — skirts and dresses, so it was before the dress code change (was that seventh grade?). Mom, whose many talents included teaching ballet, tap and modern jazz in her own studio, ran into a young student also out with her mom. The little girl, startled to see my mom in street clothes instead of her usual leotard and tights, exclaimed in a very loud voice that was heard by many: ‘Mrs. Kehoe! I didn’t recognize you with your clothes on!’ I hadn’t thought about that in years, but the older I get, the more random memory scenes from long ago wash over me. Am I alone in this?

Anyhoo, I was excited to receive a photo from Tom Moore because I don’t get many. He captioned it with: “The attached picture is of Jeb, Leslie, Billy Erdman, my wife, Linda, and me last weekend. We all live in adjacent towns, each about 10 minutes apart. Linda and I had a long-overdue gathering on a beautiful summer day in Manchester, MA. Getting together with friends, old or new, is the best news.” So nice to see everyone’s smiling faces! Love it!

Bill von Oehsen wrote: “I do have some exciting news to share. I can’t recall whether I mentioned that Helen and I purchased an old house in Ipswich, MA. We are currently renovating the house, which dates back to 1720. It’s a huge project but lots of fun. We submitted an application to the PBS show This Old House to film the renovation and the application was accepted. There will be at least twelve episodes, many will include us as the homeowners. Episode One is scheduled to air in March next year. This will undoubtedly be the launch of my future Hollywood career!” How cool is that? (Look in MFS ’55 for a photo of Bill and his brothers celebrating their mother’s birthday.)

Jonathan Stein apparently had quite the adventurous summer: “Many of you may know that I’ve always been interested in old cars, and I’ve made my living editing and writing about fine automobiles in books, magazines, auction catalogs, Concours and show programs. I also judge at many of the better Concours (shows) in the U.S. For several years, I was also judging in Italy.

“Anyway, I was judging and assisting with post-show PR at the Greenwich Concours in Connecticut in early June. I had driven up in my 1962 Volvo P1800, identical to the one my father had bought new. On the drive back to Reading, PA, I was really sleepy, all over the road, missed a few exits, and even ran out of gas for the first time in the almost 48 years I’ve been driving. I even pulled over in some unremembered convenience store, turned off the engine and slept for a while. Eventually, I made it home alive, and Beki (my wife of 39 years) suggested I call my doctor. Her office insisted I go straight to the hospital ER room. One finding was that I had an abnormally high level of carbon monoxide

in my bloodstream. So, they put on an oxygen mask, really went through my bloodwork, and repeatedly tested me for stroke damage, because we are all of that age now. After two days, and two surprisingly decent dinners in the hospital, I was finally sent home. Yesterday the neurologist who saw me in the hospital gave me some additional testing results that supported that I show no sign of the dementia that devastated my mother’s mind over a very long eight years.

“But wait, there’s more. I came home from the hospital on Wednesday, and on Thursday I was asked to drive to the Poconos to inspect a car at a major club meet and to help a short-staffed team (from Hagerty, for whom I work) man the booth because someone had called out because of Covid. I was only there for two days, but a few days later my allergies began acting up. I still felt I had to go to a reception in Philadelphia for the late, great Dr. Frederick S. Simeone, who was a world-renowned neurosurgeon and one of the leading collectors of fine sports racing cars. I had known him fairly well, and his skill had saved my dad’s mobility — and possibly, his life. As the evening progressed, I spoke to scores of leading lights in the old car world but felt increasingly lousy. I left early, went straight to bed and in the morning, I tested positive for Covid, despite having had both vaccinations and two boosters. Fortunately, I felt really rotten for about a day and was never seriously sick. My wife was not impressed that I gave it to her.” Yowza!

Sally Lincoln Jeffery checked in with this update: “To break up a trip to WV last week to visit family, my husband and I stopped at quirky places along the way such as the Mystery Hole in Ansted, WV, a ghost town in Thurmond, WV, and an abandoned amusement park in Princeton, WV! I am in my 13th year as co-founder and clinical supervisor of Isaiah House, a long-term residential facility for men with substance use disorder. It’s been an honor and privilege to work with and witness these men regain their lives.” OK, Sally, what’s the mystery with the Mystery Hole?

That’s a wrap for this edition. Send me a quick update now while you’re strolling down memory lane, and remember, folks: I don’t write this column — YOU do!

The Class of 1977 had a wonderful gathering for the 45th reunion in May. Julia Penick hosted a class gathering at her home on Friday night, and many returned to school on Saturday night to cut

a rug on the dance floor and to receive our “major award” for class fundraising. All in good fun, but we’ve always been a competitive class! For those of you who couldn’t make it, I hope you can pencil in the date for our FIFTIETH in 2027!

It is with great sadness that we learned of the recent passing of Annabelle Brainard Canning’s husband, Dr. Douglas Canning. He was an extraordinary professional (chief of urology at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia) and greatly loved by his colleagues, patients, friends and family. We send the Canning family our love and condolences.

We also send our condolences to classmate Celia Schultz , whose sister, Emily Schultz ’80, passed away recently.

As I write, I am on my way back to Portland from a long two-pronged trip to England and Spain. I spent 12 days singing Eucharist and Evensong services with the (Portland) Trinity Cathedral Choir at St. George’s, Windsor Castle and St. Paul’s Cathedral in London. Rather spectacular to sing in choir stalls adjacent to Henry VIII’s crypt! I then continued on to Spain to walk the Camino de Santiago, from Baiona to Santiago, some 140+ km. Prior to this trip, I worked for a month as Portland airport transportation operations manager for the World Athletic Championships in Eugene. I know, I have a funny way of being “retired.”

Sending all of my PDS classmates and your loved ones good health, and I hope that our paths may cross again soon!

In June, we went to our timeshare in Jensen Beach, FL, for a week, and then a week to Universal Studios and visiting family. The weather was great — not too hot — and we were able to see family and spend quality time together.

In July, we lost our 14-year-old Yorkie, Lucky, and he took a part of our heart. The smartest and easiest dog to take care of, ever…. August 4 was

While I continue teaching seventh grade Jewish studies and Jewish cooking at a religious school, I am starting a new full-time job as a kindergarten teacher assistant at a Title I school. I could have taught fourth grade, but I am too tired and uninterested in having to take work home, grade papers and manage a room full of 24 nine-and ten-year-olds!”

We hope the new place is ready by March 2023, but in the meantime, we are in a rental home, which is comfortable for Peter and me and our two girls, Carly and Scout! I am continuing to reboot my travel business after a very tough two years. Started exploring again to find new and interesting destinations to visit and recommend. I am certainly making up for lost travel time! In 2021, visited just a few of the magnificent National Parks in the U.S., including Glacier National Park, Yellowstone, Grand Teton, Mt. Rushmore, Badlands and

Custer State Park, and then an amazing visit to Croatia in the fall. In 2022, spent a fantastic week in Kauai with fun travel friends (all with PDS connections); a fabulous six-country European cruise on Regent Seven Seas; visits to SC by friends; and a busy week hosting our grandkids: a terrific wedding in the Poconos along with visits to see family in PA, NJ, NY; a special visit to Holland to meet and reconnect with Peter’s relatives followed by a stunning river cruise on the Main and Rhine Rivers through Germany!! It has been a mix of careful planning and following Covid protocols, (which keep getting reduced or eliminated after I travel to each location!), combined with much excitement and great fun with friends and family.”

Liz Mason Cousins:

“Neal and I were able to finally embark on our cruise to Alaska, which we had postponed from 2020 when the world stopped. It was a true bucket list trip and exceeded my wildest dreams. Each port heading north got better and better capped with Glacier Bay National Park and College Fjord. Whales, otters, seals, bears and eagles were abundant. We capped it all off with a sixpassenger flight up to and around Denali. The small float plane enabled us to reach places we’d never have been able to see from any other kind of trip to the park. I heartily recommend it!”

Suzanne Vine wrote: “In March, I caught up with Caroline Hartshorne ’79 and Laura Farina ’79. I was in town to see my mom; Caroline, Laura and I had a brief but wonderful visit over Thai food and a lot of laughter. We are all proud to say we have moms who are over 90 and still as feisty as ever.

Greg Morea wrote: “The end of last year and beginning of this one were tough times in the Morea household.

Then it was my turn. Investigating digestive issues, my doctors found a very bad gall bladder AND a large cancerous tumor on a kidney. Five days later, sans gall bladder and kidney, I left the hospital, and I’m pretty much recovered by now. To complete the country music theme, our daughter, Rebecca, lost her beloved forever puppy, Bryn. I am happy to say Rebecca has a new, wonderful puppy, Siggy. As life returns to some kind of normal, the one thought I need to pass on to all of my classmates is this: cherish each day you have and cherish those close to you; life can change in a second!”

Keith Baicker wrote: “I am delighted to report that a local (Lawrenceville) restaurant, Chambers Walk, invited me to hang my photographs at their place for two months. Chambers Walk is known for displaying the work of local artists. Once again, I thank PDS and Mr. Denby for the initial spark that started my love of photography.”

In August, Jeff and I spent time in London and Bath...so much fun introducing him to friends and old stomping grounds. School starts soon. This is my 22nd year of teaching and I am really looking forward to meeting my new group of eighth graders.

My two boys live close by (Brooklyn and Norwalk) and are happy in their professions — artist and geologist who trades in minerals. My husband and I get to see them and their girlfriends often. I retired at the beginning of the pandemic from my architectural practice and construction company, as no one wanted anyone in their homes. Now that construction is busy again, I have been lured out of retirement to help consult a younger architect friend for design and construction management. Those are the two fun parts of the job!

Jeff Hudgins is doing well and still resides in Raleigh, NC. He is thankful that global travel has started up again for him as a corporate event producer for SAS and JMP Statistical Discovery. And yes, he finds irony in working for a business analytics and statistical modeling company after being in both “special” math and English at PDS. While virtual events continued for Jeff during the pandemic, he found great joy in restoring a 100-year-old bungalow in one of Raleigh’s historic districts. Jeff is hoping to regain his ultimate elite travel status on American Airlines again in 2023!

Andy Jensen: “I have happily retired from teaching high school social studies in the Boulder Valley School District after 30 years, and my wife, Mary, has also retired. Our two girls are in college — Gigi at Colorado College majoring in physics, and Penny at San Diego State University, major not yet declared. I have been spending my time catching up on all the climbs, ski runs, bike rides and river runs I missed. I also painted my fence. I am heading into my 38th year of ski patrolling at Breckenridge and would love to connect with any classmates who may be in the Colorado high country skiing this year.”

Karen Polcer : “Nick and I continue to participate in New York Road Runners races and hide from the heat when we can, although we will be traveling to Aruba in September (that kind of heat we don’t mind). It will be our first trip back to Aruba since March of 2020. My youngest brother, Ben, is getting married this November in New Orleans (and, yes, it is taking place on NYC Marathon weekend, so, no race for me this year). Looking forward to ‘laissez-ing les bon temps roulez.’”

Jane Henderson Kenyon: “I am so sorry to have missed the fun at Cathy’s gathering in August! Life is exciting in our house. We have two weddings coming up. Our last kid moved out a few years ago, but my mother moved in. Still selling real estate in and around Princeton. I’d love to see anyone when/if you are ever back.”

Nick Donath ’s cousin, Jackie, a longtime Plainsboro resident and PHS grad from the late 60s, now resides less than two miles from him in Henderson, a stone’s throw from Vegas. Nick claims that “she has simply come to her senses in joining other transplants to now thrive

in civilization.” Nick lives with indoor plants and cats, and outdoor roadrunners (which he is actually feeding, and which come as close as two feet from him. (I still suggest keeping your distance — from Nick, that is.)

Joe Lapsley : “ Laura Farina and I met at Wrigley for a Cubs-Mets game. We observed Cup Snake construction up close. We got a little extra lovin’ at the Chicago History Museum ’cause I teach Chicago history, queer history, etc. Laura’s Mets stomped the Cubs that night, 8-0, with a lot of ‘Let’s go Mets!’ at the Friendly Confines.”

Evan R. Press: “In June, my GF and I enjoyed fellow classmate, Professor Joe Lapsley, in three performances over a couple of days (daze?) in Memphis. A reunion gig of Neighborhood Texture Jam, created in the 80s but still in demand, was a swinging good time as always, whilst Joe’s current group out of Chicago, PortmanteauZone, played twice at very different venues. The power trio came to play! In August, I traveled to Massachusetts to visit my daughter,

I am still umpiring an alarming number of college and high school baseball games. Hartley will receive her master’s in dosimetry from Suffolk University in May. Son Nevin is a college junior, majoring in business analytics and technology.”

Vance Camisa: “Holly, my older daughter, is completing her first year as an associate at Holland & Knight (law firm) and is doing quite well. My younger daughter, Sydney, continues to exceed fundraising goals as the events coordinator for her non-profit in Philadelphia (The Abortion Liberation Fund of Pennsylvania). As for me, gigs

are finally starting to pick up, and I’m starting to get regular bookings with my trio, rather than solo: work half as hard and swing twice as much!”

Dave Rosenbloom: “After PDS, I went to Hun, and then to Lawrenceville, followed by Colgate, where I double majored in philosophy and English and played D1 lacrosse. Then I went to Utah and became a ski bum for two years, skiing more than 100 days a season. Traveled around the world for a year around 1987 with a backpack and no plan. I then met a ridiculously beautiful, really, really Catholic girl from Provo, UT, and had to straighten up. Got hitched in 1989. Still have no idea why she married me. Started a ski shop on Main Street in Park City in 1990 with about $1000. Sold the ski shop in 2000 for a nice profit, which allowed me to take the LSAT at age 34. Subsequently, in 2003, I got my JD and started specializing in DUI defense or criminal law. Had three kids between 1996 and 2000 — two girls and a boy. Thanks to both Cathy and Evan for doing the groundwork necessary to put these things together!”

As for me, Cathy White Mertz, here are a few highlights from the last six months: January trip to San Francisco to celebrate the conclusion of son Noah’s eight-month cross-country adventure; having Noah home April-July before he headed to NM to start graduate school; much time spent on the Cape, where I get to spend time with Martha Hicks whenever our calendars allow; a day and a half silent meditation on a rustic acre and a half island off the coast of Maine, planned and led by Noah; the incredibly fun August evening at my home with a motley crew of ’79ers — Evan (with his daughter), me, Chris Horan (who drove up from Doylestown, PA, for the night!), Katrina Jannen, Hazard Zenzie (and his wife, Kathleen), Ben Dubrovsky, Jake Nunes and David Lifland . SO much fun! We will do it again — whether or not Evan is in town!

Sad news and beautiful tribute from Celia Schulz ’77: “My beautiful sister, Emily Schulz , died on June 19 from sepsis from Covid and metastatic endometrial cancer; she was only 59 years old. We all love and miss her very much. Em was an assistant clinical professor of occupational therapy at Northern Arizona University at the time of her death. She will be greatly missed by her students and colleagues, as well as her friends and family. She was an animal lover and did much to contribute to the welfare of animals. A memorial fundraiser has been set up in her name at Best Friends Animal Society in Kanab, Utah. If you would like to make a donation in her memory, please reach out to me for the link.”

Our sincere condolences to Emily’s mother, Constance Gorman ’48 and to her siblings, Celia, Edith Schulz-Ogden ’84 and Dan (Spanel) Gorman ’87.

With more sad news, Jennifer “Jenny”Dutton Whyte wrote: “It is with a sorrowful heart that I share the news that my dear friend, Stephanie Trock, passed away on July 18th. She steadfastly and bravely fought multiple myeloma for the past 20 years and was a true medical miracle. In typical Stephanie manner, she always looked to the future and held a positive spin on every moment of life she was blessed with throughout her health battle. Stephanie was one of the strongest people I have known, as she kept her head held high even in the toughest of times. Steph was a marathon runner, both NYC and Boston, and a talented chef as well as a

wonderful wife to her devoted husband, Chris, and mother to her son, George. She could cook anything to perfection, from the gourmet Italian specialties at one of my favorite restaurants, Via Via, to her Tex-Mex dishes at her own restaurant in Princeton, Santa Fe Express. In fact, my entire family holds her tiramisu as the bar for comparison, and Stephanie’s version ALWAYS stands out as the BEST! As so many of our classmates know, Stephanie had a bright and curious mind. She could talk to anyone anywhere and be genuinely interested in hearing what they had to say. She always had a bright smile and a cheerful story to tell. As we grew older, many people would ask us if we were sisters when we were out together. Not so much because we looked alike, but because our bond was evident. I will always treasure our enduring friendship, and I will sorely miss my beloved friend, Steph.” We extend our heartfelt sympathy to Stephanie’s husband, Chris, and her son, George.

Jenny also sent some exciting news: “My daughter, Janet, became engaged to Craig Caruso this past April, in Hawaii no less! We are busy planning a wedding celebration for August 2023.” Congratulations to Jenny and her family.

Drew and Emma are looking for their own place and also looking forward to a baby boy due at Thanksgiving! My middle daughter, Molly, is living in Rockport, Maine, with her boyfriend, and traveling around the country when she can in her van. Ah, to be young again.

“Abby and her husband have moved permanently to Fishers Island, NY, where they both have great jobs and are loving life. Their three children come and visit all the time. Katharine is a teacher in Colorado, Annie a nurse in NYC and James is getting his college degree in engineering.

“My mom is still kicking at 93 and doing well.”

Kate Reavey has a collection of poetry from Empty Bowl Press titled Curve, which came out in October. The description from the back cover: “For the last three decades, poet Kate Reavey has lived on Lost Mountain, taught college, and raised a family, all with an eye and ear closely attuned to the intricate subtleties of her inner and outer landscapes. In poems both intimate and philosophical, she reveals a fascination with language matched only by her care for the world she deeply inhabits. These luminous poems shine light on the dark, difficult moments of living in an uncertain world — a world steeped in loss — but illumined by the poet’s belief in the power of love to sustain and transform. We’re drawn into the gravitational pull of Reavey’s universe, as the curve of her life becomes both metaphor and a path to follow. This is a volume of language tuned to its best. We are swept into life, its travails, its happiness, its ordinary walks in woods and fields. In the best poems, the everyday becomes ontological — we are allowed to explore who and why we are. Grasses and berries speak to time and distance. Warmth finds its way back home. The poems for Reavey’s mother, especially moving, show the path grief takes year after year, losing us and finding us. At last, this remarkable book — what a cause for celebration.”

fresh cookie when I ran into him doing laundry. It’s the little things! Aside from receiving free treats, life has delivered me a plethora of delightful experiences and I’m very grateful. Being a townie means I get to do karaoke every Wednesday at Ivy Inn with Cameron Dunbar (wow, that man can sing!!!!), I spend most nights with Dave and Brielle Manley Greek still being as silly as we were in high school (be on the lookout for the launch of Guitar Air) and I enjoy lazy Sundays with my parents and my floofly little brother, Coltan the Corgi. I’ve grown as a person and a professional over the last seven years at a company called Bonobos where I recently started a new role as the head of employee engagement and experience. My job allows me to coach and develop the team and spark joy, whether that be through writing a song about a fulfillment center or hosting a Fireside Chat with our CEO in full character and costume as the CEO himself. I’ve had the absolute pleasure of touring the world doing comedy, of witnessing my dearest PDS friends fall in love and rock at life and of being surprised and dazzled by the uncertainty of my journey. Through it all, I’ve still been Meg. I’m still weird, I’m still whacky and I’m still constantly matching my brilliant sister Allie ’11. Sending the best vibes to the class of ’ 09 and all the other Panthers out there!”
