LETTER FROM

Paul J. Stellato, Head of School

Scattering for the summer in pursuit of sun and solace, we leave our leafy-green campus to take up part-time residence in the wider world: a far-off or nearby camp, summer home, or the side roads of Mercer or Bucks Counties, driving to and from a summer job. The world through which we pass for nine months, as we move to and from our home on the Great Road, becomes the home we inhabit more fully for three. In the coming and going, we might be given to wonder what and where are the connections between the two: what binds and gives meaning to each and all? If nothing more (and it is a great deal more), it must be the ways in which our years-long tutorial on the Great Road prepares our students to live and lead on any road they may find themselves. To wrench out of context a vivid Shakespeare line, it is to acknowledge that “the readiness is all.” On an early Saturday in August, Maureen and I sat in the rec room of an Edinburgh church, flanked by several Princeton Day School parents, lots of strangers, and a calm, hopeful Theater Director Stan Cahill. His Princeton Day School players would soon strut the stage for the first time at the Fringe Festival, the international gathering of artists and actors at which, thanks to his remarkable efforts, our school is now a fixture. Within 36 hours, this merry band of grease-paint Panthers were playing to standing-room-only houses, when they weren’t sitting for interviews with members of the international press. So entire was their preparation, so full their readiness, that no stage – on the Royal Mile or the McAneny Theater – could contain them. Nor could the stages – literal and otherwise – on which our young women and men (tales of a few which follow in these pages) choose to compete and excel. Kevin Chen ’11, whose performances dazzled packed houses in the McAneny Theater, is now playing to filled concert halls across the world, as a Zarin Mehta Fellow of the New York Philharmonic. Matthew Cavuto ’13 picked up enough hardware to fill a mid-size car at his MIT graduation; he will continue his studies at Cambridge as a Marshall Fellow. The brothers Melendez-Torres – G.J.’07 and Juan Carlos ’09 – have taken lessons of the Great Road across the country and the world: G.J. as Marshall Scholar at Oxford; and Juan Carlos, who has pursued and nurtured his curiosity from Penn to Cornell, by way of the Senegal, Burkina Faso, and the Bronx Public Defenders Office. Just down the road, at Princeton, one could hear the roars of celebration for Charlotte Williams ’12, recipient of a Gates Cambridge Scholarship for advanced study at that hallowed university. And how many of us stayed up late to catch the Phoenix Suns choose our own Davon Reed ’13 in the NBA draft? Not to be outdone by their older peers (and unwilling to leave ever klieg light to the Fringe cohort), a host of current students held their own – and claimed top honors – in national competition. Chris Kiel ’18 captured All American and All Academic First Team honors by USA Fencing. Three of Furniture Design teacher Chris Maher’s woodworking students – Chris Klein ’19, Giulia Gerschel ’19, and Walt Emann ’19 – were among a handful of the 15,000 entrants to win awards at the annual AWFS Fresh Wood Competition. Each of these young men and women have sought and embraced opportunity, having nurtured their curiosity and confidence in the halls, stages, studios, and classrooms of Princeton Day School. Remarkable as they may be, each has been preceded and will be followed by scores of alumni who have aspired to do nothing less than change the world. They’ve prepared themselves for nothing less.

News and Events I WANT MY PDS! The 2017 Auction It was a night for leg warmers, skinny ties, and neon colors: the Parents Association annual auction, I Want My PDS!, took over the upper gym on Saturday, April 1.

Third Grade Class Skypes with Students from Kabul Margie Gibson’s third grade class Skyped with a group of students, aged 8-10, from Kabul several times through the course of the year, creating an online interactive—and international—book club. Mrs. Gibson said, “It was an incredibly exciting global connection for our kids. We hope to begin it earlier in the fall next year so we have a longer period to fully develop deeper connections.”

Energy & Climate Scholars and Sustainability Conference Princeton Day School has partnered with Princeton University to create the Energy and Climate Scholars program at the school. Each year, a select group of PDS sophomores, juniors, and seniors meet monthly over a working dinner with highly talented and engaged Princeton University Ph.D. students, learning and conversing about energy and climate and related science, economics, policy and politics. In April, the Energy and Climate Scholars organized, with Princeton University and the Stony Brook Millstone Watershed Association, the Student Climate Change Conference, which took place at the Watershed. Open to all high school students, the event featured workshops on policy, water, climate change, and food and agriculture. More than 100 area high school students attended this free conference.

Senior Awards Presented June 2017 Alumni Service Award: Ziad Ahmed and Asianna Hall

Each year the Alumni Association bestows an award on a senior who exemplifies the spirit and values of Princeton Day School through service to others. Ziad Ahmed performed 600 service hours according to the School’s official count, but given the breadth of his service activities and his tireless commitment to social justice, the actual number of hours is undoubtedly even higher. Some of the local organizations he has contributed his time and energies to include: the Teen Advisory Board of the Princeton Public Library, the Trenton Area Soup Kitchen, Corner House in Princeton, and Redefy, a nonprofit organization he founded to address and combat negative cultural and racial stereotypes. Asianna Hall distinguished herself by performing close to 500 hours of service during her Upper School career. She devoted countless weekends volunteering at Loaves and Fishes in Trenton, providing food to those in distressed communities, while also serving as a youth police explorer with the City of Burlington Police Department. John Douglas Sacks-Wilner ’80 Award: Noah Liao

John Douglas Sacks-Wilner, class of 1980, was a young man of great strength, character, and grace of spirit. This memorial award commemorates John’s special kind of determination and dedication, and it goes to a member of the graduating class who has overcome adversity and shown resoluteness, courage and resilience in surmounting obstacles to achieve his or her goals. Noah Liao has endured a great deal of adversity in his life, but rarely discusses these hardships. He has a quiet dignity, but everything he has achieved has been hard-earned, as he has confronted – and surmounted – adversity with a maturity and resilience that belie his age. Frederick D. Woodbridge ’78 Memorial Award: Jack Mascali

Fred Woodbridge, class of 1978, demonstrated extraordinary leadership as a senior class president and impressive qualities of citizenship throughout his career at PDS. This

The Anne Shepherd Humanities Award: Hallie Hoffman This award is given to a member of the junior class who has produced distinguished work in one or more of the following disciplines: English, history, music, art, or drama. Anne Shepherd taught English for 44 years, at Miss Fine’s School and then at Princeton Day School, retiring in 1995. Shepherd Commons is named in her honor. A Jacobson music scholar and a leading member of our Upper School Chorus, Hallie Hoffman has also distinguished herself on the dramatic stage and in the classroom. She is a compassionate thinker who believes in community and the responsibility we hold to one another as learners.

Hubert N. Alyea Award: Hannah Freid

Each year the Princeton Section of the American Chemical Society honors high school seniors who have demonstrated a joyful sense of wonder, a love of chemistry, and a strong commitment to the learning of new ideas with the Hubert N. Alyea Award, named for the renowned Princeton Professor Emeritus of chemistry. Hannah Freid exemplified all of these qualities with a passion for learning, a love of chemistry, and a deep sense of science’s importance to our shared intellectual life.

Mark L. Zaininger ’81 Memorial Award: Gabby Ruvinsky

Established in 2010 through the generosity of the Zaininger family and friends, the Mark L. Zaininger ’81 Memorial Award honors an alumnus whose professional and personal life was dramatically and positively influenced during the summer of his junior year at Princeton Day School, through his participation in a creative, challenging and rigorous summer program. The award is given annually to a member of the Princeton Day School junior class whose proposed summer experience in pursuit of an interest or passion has the greatest likelihood of inspiring and revealing to the recipient new horizons and directions for his/her life path. Gabby Ruvinsky’s commitment to service and to the needs of others made her an effective co-head of the Service Learning Group this past year – and also led her to volunteer her time outside of school in health care and emergency medical response. She aspires to a career in medicine, and this summer was able to spend a month in New York in an academic hospital setting, working with patients, shadowing doctors, and helping with medical procedures. Jim Walker Memorial Math Award: Hannah Freid

Jim Walker – a long-serving, dedicated math teacher and department chair at PDS – affected many lives both inside and outside the classroom. This award recipient embodies the love of math and passion for learning that Jim Walker exemplified. During Hannah Freid’s extraordinary career in the Upper School, she excelled in the most demanding mathematics courses the School offers, showing remarkable attention to detail and a love of mathematical complexity.

Senior Awards

memorial award goes to a graduating senior who has exhibited outstanding leadership qualities in developing class unity and spirit. Mature, thoughtful, principled, and humane, Jack Mascali is a natural leader who earned the abiding respect of students and faculty alike because of his sterling character, outstanding mind, and warm, generous personality. These qualities led his classmates to elect him class president multiple times, including as President of the Senior Class, and he also served as a Senior Peer Group leader.

Arts Notes

“She Kills Monsters:” An Unqualified Hit at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival In August, a group of fortunate PDS Theater students and faculty traveled to the Edinburgh Fringe Festival to perform Qui Nguyen’s “She Kills Monsters,” a contemporary play set in the pre-internet 90’s and filled with physicality, dramatic combat scenes, and themes of female empowerment. The PDS production was the first licensed production of “She Kills Monsters,” professional or amateur, to be performed in the United Kingdom—and a huge hit, with all performances ultimately sold out. Director Stan Cahill said, “We were turning people away at every performance.”

The 4th Grade Operetta: Peanuts Wanted

PDS Theater Productions Capture Nominations and Awards

This year’s 4th grade operetta was the charming “Peanuts Wanted,” performed in March and based on an original script by PDS faculty Cindy Peifer and Daniel Cohen. The production featured our 4th graders starring as various incarnations of the famous Peanuts characters-Charlie Brown, Snoopy, Linus, Lucy, Peppermint Patty, and more—as they auditioned for a big show. This production is a special way to feature the talents of all of our 4th graders.

Princeton Day School received nine nominations from the Montclair State University Theatre Awards Committee for the fall production of “Macbeth,” including for Outstanding Overall Production, and ultimately won the Peter Filichia Award for Pushing the Envelope in Academic Theatre. More than 75 schools across New Jersey compete for these awards, and nine nominations was a new record for PDS. The spring musical “The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee” was nominated for five Paper Mill Playhouse Rising Star nominations, including nominations for Nate Jones ’18 for Outstanding Performance by an Actor in a Supporting Role, and Hope Ammidon ’18 for Student Achievement Award for Assistant Direction.

The 8th Grade Musical: The Lion King The cast and crew of the 8th grade musical production of “The Lion King” put on an unforgettable production in May to an adoring audience who were no doubt swept away to the African savannah along with Simba, Rafiki and a full cast of characters on their journey from Pride Rock to the jungle... and back again. Directed and designed by Performing Arts Chair Deb Sugarman (and no, the costumes were not rented, but originals!), this inspiring, coming-of-age tale provided an incredible platform for our talented 8th graders to act, sing, dance, and, above all, shine.

Season Highlights 2017 NJISAA Prep B Champions 2017 Mercer County Champions Boys Varsity Lacrosse Record 14W – 2L Coaches Awards – Will Brossman ’17 and Jack Amaral ’17 Varsity Award – Peter Shannon ’17

The varsity boys lacrosse team had a banner season, successfully defending both the Mercer County and the Prep B Championship titles for the second straight year. Far more important than the wins, losses, and championships was the brand of lacrosse exhibited by these boys. Coaches, reporters and fans often remarked on the team’s methodical and patient execution of offense, the stout nature of the defense, and the iron-clad play of our goalie, Connor Green ’18. Assistant Coach Tuckman’s defense allowed a stifling 4.5 goals against per game. This defense undeniably anchored the team—and even on that rare occasion when the defense stumbled, the other team’s offense then faced a daunting task in trying to beat our goalie. At the other end of the field, Assistant Coach Hopper’s offense averaged a lofty 10.5 goals per game, one of the highest in program history. “To say that we’re proud of each member of this team would be an understatement,” remarked Head Coach Rich D’Andrea.

The girls varsity lacrosse team finished the 2017 season with their third consecutive State Championship with a decisive 19-13 win over Montclair Kimberly Academy. Head Coach Jill Thomas remarked that she could not be more proud of this talented team of girls; the leadership from seniors Morgan Mills ’17 and Abby Atkeson ’17, and the dedication each player put toward this well-deserved accomplishment since the work began this winter.

Varsity Baseball Record 10W – 10L Coaches Awards – Ryan Bremer ’18 and Chase Fleming ’17 Varsity Award – Paul Franzoni ’17 The varsity baseball team got out of the gate quickly with a record of five wins and one loss during the annual spring training trip to Port St. Lucie, Florida. Days after the boys returned, they won their first highly contested regular season game against Conwell Egan High School 6-5. The remainder of the season was a roller coaster ride. Highlights included a comeback victory against crosstown rival Princeton High School, wins over Prep A opponents Peddie and Lawrenceville, and a memorable victory over Gil St. Bernard, 5-1, at TD Bank Park. The team finished the season with a record of 10 wins and 10 losses and many positive memories. Head Coach Brian Dudeck thanks all the PDS baseball parents for their positive support throughout the season, and his players for their unwavering dedication and commitment.

Boys Varsity Tennis Record: 5W – 8L Coaches Awards – Noah Liao ’17 and Leo Nye ’17 Varsity Award – Lex Decker ’18 PDS Boys Tennis had a respectable season placing fourth of 18 at the Mercer County Tournament and second of nine teams at the Prep B Tournament. “We decided to book tougher teams and play more matches on weekends,” remarked Coach Will Asch. “The strategy worked but made our record look mediocre when, in fact, we were among the stronger prep school teams.” Coach Asch also noted that our players had an intense and emotional season that will help them develop into stronger individuals both on and off the tennis court.

Varsity Golf Record 7W – 8L

Coaches Awards – Cade McLaughlin ’20 and Jack Mascali ’17 Varsity Award – Tyler Coffey ’18

Varsity Softball Record: 6W – 10L Coaches Awards – Julie Patterson ’19 and Elisabeth Berman ’19 Varsity Award – Annika Asplundh ’17

Varsity golf enjoyed a successful season with a strong group of underclassman competing in a league with other experienced, talented prep school teams. The team truly competed in every match and improved each week as the season progressed. Coach Brian Mochnal is excited for the coming spring as he only lost two players from this team. Highlights of the season include 3rd place in the Prep Championship, and 5th place out of 17 teams in Mercer County Tournament.

Highlights of the softball season included wins over crosstown rivals Pennington School and Lawrenceville School. Head Coach Paul Lano felt that the close losses, which brought the team much closer to where they wanted to be, were equally important highlights. Standout seniors Annika Asplundh, Kiely French and Amanda Ostendorf will be sorely missed. But with a core of returners, including Julie Patterson ’19, Gia Massari ’20, Hailey Young ’19, Brooke Smukler ’19, and Giulia Gerschel ’19 along with pitcher Elisabeth Berman ’19, the Panthers are primed to accomplish even more going forward.

Sports Notes

Varsity Figure Skating

Coaches Award – Eva Appelo ’17 Varsity Award – Amberjean Leist ’17 The 2017 varsity figure skating team had a great year. The team was made up of eight skaters with a range of abilities. The spring season is short, however the skaters managed to create a solo program and a team number, which they performed in the annual Spring Showcase in April at the Lisa McGraw ’44 Skating Rink. There are so many life lessons learned on the ice and this year’s team learned the importance of trying. Coach Courtney Hodock is grateful to all of the skaters for their commitment and courage, and looks forward to another great season next spring.

The ROBERT C. WHITLOCK AWARD Upper School History and Religion Teacher DAVE FREEDHOLM Established in 1995, the Robert C. Whitlock Award for Distinguished Teaching is one of the school’s highest honors for a member of the faculty. This annual award is presented to that Princeton Day School faculty member who best demonstrates the exceptional teaching skills, devotion to students, courtesy, zeal for knowledge and pursuit of excellence; and the qualities of gentleness, patience, dedication, and professionalism that were the hallmarks of Bob Whitlock’s 42-year teaching career. The Whitlock is an award for the faculty, by the faculty: nominations for the award come from the faculty; and a committee of former recipients, in consultation with the associate head of school and the division heads, reviews nominations and recommends a candidate to the Head of School. The award includes a stipend for professional study, travel, or other work that contributes to the recipient’s continuing excellence as a teacher.

This year’s award was presented to Upper School history and religion teacher Dave Freedholm. “I am reminded daily by the denizens of Shepherd Commons that there is no shortage of sages in Shepherd Commons. And while, on any given day, one or more of them may play that role, there is one who regularly both advises the Princeton Day School powers that be, even as he communes with the invisible forces of the universe: our own Dave Freedholm. “A master teacher of 23 years, Dave Freedholm has remained true to himself and his students while reinventing and reimagining all around him. A Fulbright Scholar in China, he is the author of The One and Many: An Introduction to Hinduism. A spiritual leader in our community, whose words soothe and renew us at alumni weekend’s Moment of Remembrance, the Thanksgiving assembly, convocation, and commencement, he also tempers the school’s justice with mercy, as the chair of upper school judiciary. Having every right to be satisfied with the status quo of his courses, Dave Freedholm led a bold reimagining of the ninth grade history and religion course, creating with his colleagues a core experience to inform and enlighten every member of that class. As head of school, I benefit often from Dave’s cleareyed, kind, and wise counsel.” —Head of School Paul Stellato, from his remarks at the ceremony

An Ambitious Curriculum and Innovative New Facility Point to a Promising Future

In a conversation with the Board of Trustees at its annual retreat in November, 2013, Head of School Paul Stellato shared his vision of a broad expansion and enhancement of academic and co-curricular program. Together with its recently completed campus and landscape master plans, this analysis of – and recommendations for – program would both guide and leaven the school’s facilities planning. By the close of that November meeting, the Board of Trustees had endorsed an expansive, allencompassing plan for the coming decade, elements of which would strengthen the experience of every student and faculty member. JOURNAL

Within the year, Mr. Stellato had empaneled task forces to review and make recommendations for the implementation of twelve curricular and co-curricular initiatives. From those efforts, he and members of the Leadership Team, together with leadership from the Board of Trustees, endorsed the first set of programs to move forward. Each was to be nestled within the school’s upcoming capital campaign, and all would move forward as quickly as possible. That first group consisted of four initiatives: Health and Wellness, Interdisciplinary Studies, International Travel and Global Studies, and a broad rethinking of the school’s approach to the teaching of science, math, technology, and the arts: STEAM.

The Princeton Day School STEAM Committee gathers in the new STEAM Center. From left to right: Chief Information Officer Jon Ostendorf, Head of Upper School Jason Robinson, Interim Math Chair Chip Cash, Libraries Department Chair Sheila Goeke, STEAM Coordinator Jonathan Tatkon-Coker, Head of School Paul Stellato, STEAM Committee Chair and Scientist in Residence Dr. Leon Rosenberg, Science Department Chair Jason Park, Lower School Math Teacher Jennifer Vradenburgh, and Lower School Science Teacher Aaron Schomburg

The STEAM Committee

With the recommendation of the task force in hand, Mr. Stellato appointed a STEAM Implementation Initiative Committee (STEAMII) in September of 2016 to begin work on developing an innovative, comprehensive, schoolwide educational program linking the STEAM disciplines. Mr. Stellato’s specific charge to the Committee for the 2017-2018 school year was twofold: to create a revitalized STEAM curriculum at PDS, initially focused on the Upper School, but eventually extending to both the Middle and Lower Schools; and to help design a 2000-square foot Upper School STEAM Center, which would need to incorporate an open, flexible design that would facilitate interdisciplinary teaching and learning. Mr. Stellato asked Dr. Leon (Lee) Rosenberg to lead the Committee. Dr. Rosenberg has been a member of the PDS science faculty since 2014, teaching courses on genetics to Upper School students. In addition, he served as Interim Science Department Chair in the 2015-2016 academic year. Before joining the faculty at PDS, Dr. Rosenberg was Professor in the Princeton University Department of Molecular Biology and the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Public Affairs and, prior to that, Senior Vice President of Scientific Affairs of Bristol-Myers Squibb as well as President of the Bristol-Myers Squibb Pharmaceutical Research Institute. Before joining BMS, Dr. Rosenberg served as Dean of the Yale University School of Medicine. With his vast experience in higher education and the private sector, Dr. Rosenberg was an ideal choice to lead such an ambitious charge. About the Committee, Dr. Rosenberg observed: “I had never led an effort that was as complex in its charge and as

time-sensitive. We knew what we had to do and, essentially, we had nine months to do it. It required a very disciplined effort.” The STEAMII Committee was comprised of the following faculty and staff: US math teacher Laurent (Chip) Cash, LS art teacher TJ Erdahl, MS math teacher Nichole Foster-Hinds, Library Department Chair Sheila Goeke, Chief Information Officer Jon Ostendorf, Science Department Chair (Grades 5-12) Jason Park, Head of Upper School and Assistant Head of School for Academic Life Jason Robinson, LS science teacher Aaron Schomburg, Director of Major Projects Ron Tola, and LS math teacher Jennifer Vradenburgh. The Committee met for approximately two hours each week through the course of the school year, focusing on the deliverables of space and program. In the end, they accomplished the tasks. “I can’t believe we ended up where we did,” said Dr. Rosenberg. “I was impressed with how the Committee stayed the course and in such a dedicated way.”

Building the Curriculum Head of Upper School and Assistant Head of School for Academic Life Jason Robinson said there were two main curricular goals: that every student acquire a higher baseline of literacy in STEAM fields; and that the School’s most ambitious STEAM learners have greater opportunity for advancement. “We wanted to both bring up the baseline and raise the ceiling,” said Mr. Robinson. This led to the goals of formalizing and revitalizing the current PDS STEAM offerings, as well as adding several new courses. In order to accomplish this meaningfully, several subcommittees were formed to focus on individual STEAM disciplines, including computer science, robotics, engineering, and design+build. FALL 2017

One of the new courses is the foundational STEAMinar, a required course for all 9th graders. In this course, taken once a week, students are able to apply what they are learning in math and science to solve real-world problems. In the 2017-2018 year, the STEAMinar theme will be water; students will explore myriad questions and problems about water across all disciplines, ranging from water supply and scarcity, to purity and filtration. According to Mr. Robinson, the goal of this course is to ignite the curiosity of students in the 9th grade; to help them reframe what they know about math and science, and make it more relevant; and to increase the self-efficacy of students, changing an attitude of “I’m not good at math” to “I can actually do this!” “Basically, we wanted to get kids excited,” he said. Other new courses include a tiered computer science program, which includes a broad-based introductory course as well as AP CS Principles, CS 2/Programming, and AP Computer Science A, as well as single courses in engineering and robotics. The engineering course, spearheaded by Chief Information Officer Jon Ostendorf, will be the “Engineer Your World” course developed at the University of Texas, Austin with partnership from NASA, which synthesizes engineering concepts and disciplines with project-based opportunities. Mr. Ostendorf, who has an engineering degree from Cornell University, said of the new course, “It was important to me that this course be inclusive and cross a range of engineering disciplines. I believe the Engineer Your World course is nearly perfect, as it

Dr. Lee Rosenberg and Head of School Paul Stellato

teaches habits of mind for engineers and presents hands-on projects, which is where the learning happens.” The robotics course is also wide-ranging and focuses on information processing. Jason Park, who led the subcommittee, noted that with the course’s focus on mechanical engineering and microprocessors like Raspberry Pi, “we will be able to impact the broadest range of students possible, keeping true to Princeton Day School’s message of ‘opportunities of a lifetime, every day.’”

The STEAM Center

JOURNAL

As conceived, the new STEAM Center was to be a state-of-the-art expansion of the current facilities, covering more than 2,000 square feet of space on the Upper School math/foreign language corridors. With its computer lab, the STEAM Center would capture the Courtyard Conference Room, and with it nearly half of the adjacent courtyard. In doing so, it would create both a new passage from the Upper School to the Middle School and three new Upper School study spaces. Dr. Rosenberg admitted that designing a new space at the same time as developing a program for the space was a bold challenge, but that this plan was necessary since there was only a narrow time for the renovation—namely, summer break (June, July, and August of 2017). The STEAM Committee worked

With round-the-clock crews organized by Ron Tola beginning the day after commencement in June, the new STEAM Center was completed in mid-August, right on schedule.

STEAM’s Future Dr. Rosenberg wrote in a year-end report on the work of the STEAM Committee: “Did we meet our charge? Were our conclusions and actions embraced by major constituencies at PDS?” Though it may be slightly premature to answer either question, Dr. Rosenberg shared some encouraging results already emerging. First, an extraordinary number of current and new Upper School students entering PDS this year—250 out of 400—have signed up for the new STEAM offerings, with numbers for the computer science and engineering courses exceeding all expectations. As Dr. Rosenberg noted, “Clearly, there was an appetite on the students’ part.” The keenness of that appetite is perhaps nowhere more apparent than in this year’s freshman class, the School’s most competitive (and largest) in more than a generation. Dr. Rosenberg said, “This is a good beginning but the proof of concept is going to be that we can staff these courses so our students get a new dimension in the framework of a school with an established culture. We are not getting rid of any PDS traditions—only adding new ones.”

Wording

closely with the architectural firm, Architectural Resources of Cambridge and, keeping the newly created definition of STEAM at PDS fresh in their minds, they explored ideas of design and functionality, and ultimately determined that the STEAM Center needed to be designed very differently from a traditional classroom. In short, it needed to be open, well-lit, flexible, modular, and include a minimum of fixed structures. The final plans included a large classroom area, and a small one, along with an office for the School’s new STEAM Coordinator Jonathan Tatkon-Coker, who has a background in product design for companies including Apple and Nike, storage space for student projects, and a room for the information technology requirements.

STEAM: A Definition As the STEAM II Committee commenced their work, they soon realized that the acronym STEAM can mean something different to the individuals and organizations who use it, so endeavored to create a definition for STEAM specifically for Princeton Day School.

STEAM at Princeton Day School is an educational approach to teaching and learning that uses science, technology, engineering, the arts, and mathematics as access points for guiding student inquiry and critical thinking. Its philosophic watchwords include integration, collaboration, innovation, and creativity. Its overarching goal is to blend traditional and projectbased platforms so that they help all our students to see, interpret, and understand fundamental concepts, and to solve real-life problems. The success of this new STEAM program depends on fashioning an intentional, interdisciplinary connection among its core disciplines in each of the school’s divisions, and, critically, between these disciplines and others of the school’s departments and initiatives.

As it endeavors to complete its charge, the STEAM Committee, together with faculty task forces in the Middle and Lower Schools, have begun to emulate that first, most successful process led by Dr. Rosenberg: catalog current STEAM programs and create new programs in each division, and design facilities to house them. There are already a number of STEAM-related projects that take place in the Middle and Lower Schools, so formalizing and revitalizing the two divisions’ curricula will be the work of the subcommittees in the coming year. In addition, the Middle and Lower School subcommittees will work with the architects on creating designated STEAM Centers in both divisions. FALL 2017

LETTER FROM THE

Chair of the Board of Trustees

Since my election as board chair, many people have asked why I’ve chosen to volunteer my time to serve Princeton Day School. For me, a PDS alum as well as a professor and former dean at Penn, there’s an easy answer: I’ve spent most of my life in school, I just love school, and I really love this school. Princeton Day School has never been better than it is right now, and it is poised to shine even brighter in the coming years. At PDS something remarkable can happen any day of the week. Every day students have a chance to grasp a new idea or fact about the world around them. They get to express themselves vigorously in arts and sports and thus challenge both their bodies and their minds. And every day, too, they may discover something new about themselves and others in our community, and have a chance to make a difference here and in the wider world. This issue of the Journal abounds with examples of how this is happening right now, with our eager students, dedicated faculty, and accomplished alumni making an impact nationally and internationally. Last spring Margie Gibson’s third grade class skyped with their peers in Kabul, Afghanistan, trading ideas about books and stories of themselves. This past August, a group of Upper School students traveled to the Edinburgh Fringe Festival to perform Qui Nguyen’s “She Kills Monsters,” a hilarious contemporary play that grapples with female empowerment. In sports, the boys’ varsity lacrosse team won both the Mercer County Championship as well as the NJISAA Prep B Championship, and the girls’ varsity lacrosse team won the NJISAA Prep B title, as well. On the faculty front, PDS joined a groundbreaking collaboration between Penn’s Graduate School of Education and a consortium of the nation’s leading independent day schools; as part of this program, Thomas Pettingill joins us to teach 9th grade biology while completing his Penn master’s degree. Our alumni excel in many fields of endeavor: for example, Kevin Chen ’11 will be joining the New World Symphony in Miami, while Davon Reed ’13 was drafted to the Phoenix Suns professional basketball team after a great four years at University of Miami. The most visible sign of PDS’s energy and forward-looking spirit is the new Upper School STEAM Center and the surrounding renovated classrooms, also featured in this edition of the Journal. This center is already buzzing, integrating the arts and sciences with activities driven by an innovative new curriculum. It has been made possible by a collaboration of the school’s strong leadership, a visionary group of faculty, a supportive board, and generous donors who saw how important this place and program are for PDS’s future. I am so proud to be able to serve as Chair of the board of trustees of our remarkable school. The board is a group of devoted parents, alumni, and friends who provide guidance for the school’s leadership, in collaboration with our great Head of School, Paul Stellato. When the board meets, we dedicate our time to thinking about the whole PDS community, and how we can help to sustain its work and to prepare for the future. In her unwavering commitment to every aspect of PDS when she was board chair, Barbie Cole ’78 set an inspiring example, one I promise to follow. I will also look to all of you for guidance and support in the years to come. Princeton Day School flourishes when we talk, dream, and work hard together.

Three Sets of PDS Siblings Share Notable News As we note at the very top of our website, Princeton Day School offers opportunities of a lifetime, every day. This means that we encourage each and every student to identify and pursue their passions with purpose—whatever those passions may be—from the moment they arrive to campus to the moment they graduate, and often beyond. We do this by assembling an incredibly talented and caring faculty who is always at the ready to help guide our students as they follow their hearts and minds on their unique paths. We keep in close contact with our alums, and sometimes we just can’t help but notice trends that illuminate our overarching aim to offer opportunities of a lifetime. In this issue of the Journal, we focus on three sets of siblings, two of whom are PDS Lifers, who have shared their stories with us. As you’ll see, the range of interests and achievements is quite remarkable, and, for these students and alums, it all began here at PDS. It is these stories that illuminate what is special about our school: the opportunity to find and pursue your passions with support and encouragement. Every day.

G.J. Melendez-Torres ’07 and Juan Carlos Melendez-Torres ’09: Two Lifers Explore Public Health, Music, and Justice

G.J.: After I graduated from Princeton Day School in 2007, I attended the University of Pennsylvania. I earned degrees from the School of Nursing and from the Wharton School, and participated extensively in intercultural and interfaith activism. Funded by a Marshall Scholarship, I subsequently attended the University of Oxford for what was supposed to be a year’s break before resuming clinical practice as a nurse. But you know what they say about the best-laid plans. I completed my master’s degree and then, in mid-2014, my doctoral degree from the Department of Social Policy and Intervention at Oxford. While in

the middle of my doctorate, I joined the faculty of the University of Oxford. I stayed for a year after finishing my doctorate and then took up a tenure-track post at the University of Warwick. After achieving tenure in April 2017 and being promoted to an associate professorship, I moved to Cardiff University in Wales in September 2017. The research agenda I developed during my doctorate sits at the intersection of social epidemiology and medical sociology. That is, my research is oriented towards understanding two things. At the population level, who gets sick, and when, and what we can do about it? And at the individual level, why do people get sick and what is it like to be unwell? In addition to this, my time at the University of Warwick included substantial work at the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence to provide advice on which newly licensed drugs represent a cost-effective treatment strategy. This work has provided an interesting window into how a different, but equally advanced, healthcare system to the United States’ current system operates—all the more intriguing for the current debates in the US on how to build a more effective healthcare program. How did my time at PDS lead to my current situation? Fortunately, I have no shortage of examples. Epidemiologists need to have a high comfort level with tricky math and, if you’re really hoping to go far, with calculus. Though FALL 2017

few of the math teachers I had are still at PDS, my time with Lisa Riker, Bob Singerman, and Sarah Latham (and before them, Arlene Cohen all the way back in the sixth grade) helped me overcome any math fears I may have had. Lisa and Bob saved me the same seat in their classrooms every day, a small routine that helped me gear up for the joys of algebra and pre-calculus. I still remember the small burst of pride when I would get a sticky note on a successful test in Ms. Cohen’s class, and the calm I felt going into the AP Calculus exam thanks to Ms. Latham’s careful preparation. (I think she’s the reason I never met an integral I didn’t like.) In addition, medical sociologists need to be comfortable with reading between the lines, with interpretive ways of knowing, and with the nuance that people’s words carry. The many hours I spent in the Carriage House with Mr. Gudgel and before that with Ms. Bodel reading texts in classical languages definitely attuned me to the value of reading beyond the words on the page. The time I spent with Ms. Williams learning about multicultural literature helped me to see the value of diverse voices. And of course, for a career in public health, you need to know a few things about science. Barbara Maloney, biology teacher superstar, and later Steve Gadd and Tom Palma all did a lot to encourage me as a scientist, even if I didn’t become the kind who works behind a lab bench. (Hello Mrs. Hart!)

Juan Carlos: After graduating from PDS in 2009, I attended the University of Pennsylvania where I was a student in the Huntsman Program in International Studies and Business, and earned degrees from The Wharton School and the College of Arts and Sciences with a minor in music. Though my coursework was rigorous and challenging, a pivotal point in my personal development came in my second semester of my sophomore year, which I spent in Senegal enrolled as a sociology student at the Université Gaston Berger. There, I was embedded in Senegalese culture and music and got my first taste of ethnographic fieldwork. My time in West Africa radically altered the path that I ended up following through college and beyond; I discovered that I had far less sustained interest in the business world than I did in the realm of creative arts. I did my best to forge the two together in my research as a University Scholar at Penn, where I examined generational and geographic ruptures within the Senegalese hip-hop community’s conceptions of musical authorship and ownership in the context of the recent implementation of a new copyright regime. Starting in the fall of 2012, I left Penn for a year and a

half during which time I returned to Senegal and Burkina Faso to pursue University-funded research on that project and associated inquiries on cultural industries as modes of economic development. In 2014, I took a job as a public defense investigator at the Bronx Defenders, a firm that pioneered the model of holistic public defense. Under this model, we helped indigent clients not just with criminal charges but with all the collateral fallout associated with their pending cases, whether in civil, family, or immigration court. My time in the Bronx forced me to recognize, acknowledge, and engage with the kinds of privileges that I had growing up as a PDS student and the ways in which those privileges were and continue to be largely inaccessible to millions of youth right in our backyards. I eventually realized that in order to sustainably advocate for the ethical and political ideals I held dear, I needed to integrate my pursuit of those with a career that also gave me great personal fulfillment. While working as an investigator, I had deeply enjoyed writing up and presenting on my research from francophone West Africa at academic music conferences, and so I matriculated into Cornell’s PhD program in Musicology in the fall of 2016. My new research agenda will examine the long-lasting psychological and social impacts of state control of sonic environments in mass incarceration. The educators at PDS played an immensely important role in my development as a person and as a thinker. My Lower School and Middle School teachers all helped mold me, but the creative encouragements of Bev Gallagher, Cindy Peifer, and Sybil Holland pushed me not just to read, but to think about what I was reading and integrate it into other areas of learning and analysis. This continued in the Upper School with Susan Stein’s refusal to compromise or lower the bar in demanding excellence from her English students. Similarly, Bob Singerman and Steve Gadd both taught me how to think through and construct logical, evidence-based arguments. Nhu Hoang, Laurence Farhat, and, most significantly, Edem Afemeku all instilled in me a deep love for the French language and francophone culture and literature. David Figueroa, my sophomore year history teacher, was a crucial pillar of my Upper School experience: he was not only a great personal role model as a Puerto Rican educator, but he ignited and stoked my interest in politics, law, current affairs, Latin American studies, and even postcolonial studies. Finally, my experiences in PDS’s performing arts inform every bit of what I hope to do as an academic in the music world. Bryce Hayes, Kristen Acker, and Tom Buckelew demonstrated to me what quality arts education looks like and how it can change lives by bringing greater understanding of self and others – something I hope to do with my own students when I go out into the teaching world at the end of my doctorate.

Ashley Cavuto ’17 and Matthew Cavuto ’13: PDS Lifers Engage in Film, Engineering, and STEAM

Ashley: In my junior year at PDS, Dr. Karen Latham’s

English elective, “History in Film in Literature,” sparked my interest in film. I was interested in digging in and analyzing different films, and noticed how no shot, angle, or audio choice is ever accidental—each and every aspect of a film is something the director has planned out for a specific reason. This class prompted me to approach PDS Theater Director Stan Cahill about creating a Screenwriting Independent Study. By the end of the year, I had crafted a 60-page screenplay entitled, “Something To Hold On To.” The story is about a young woman named Logan searching to uncover her identity. After injuring herself playing ice hockey, the sport she loves, Logan visits her grandmother weekly during her recovery. Through these weekly visits, she strives to discover what defines her as a person. I submitted the script to multiple contests and festivals, and “Something To Hold On To” was named Best Screenplay at The Monthly Film Festival based in Glasgow, Scotland, as well as a finalist in The World Series of Screenwriting (Hollywood, California) and the West Field Screenwriting Awards (Averill, New York). In my senior year, I further pursued my passion by creating a documentary on the boys varsity ice hockey team, called “Next November,” highlighting the seniors and their impact on the program. The biggest challenge for me heading into this project is that I had never taken a film class—I had never filmed anything, and I had never even touched the editing software I would need. The process took a whole year, from when I started planning in June 2016, to when the screening was held in June 2017. The year consisted of filming pre-season sessions, player and parent interviews, practices, games, road trips, off-ice bonding, and more; as well as editing and piecing it all together in May. I acquired 114 hours and 17 minutes of footage, which I condensed into a two-hour documentary, detailing the unforgettable season for this team. While my initial goal was to create a visual memory for the team, especially the seniors, I realized that “Next November” served the same purpose for myself. I am currently in the process of obtaining rights to the music I used in the movie, which will allow me to submit it to various contests and festivals, like the ESPN branch of the Tribeca Film Festival, the Spa City Sports Series of the Hot Springs Documentary Film Festival, and several others.

I have just begun my freshman year at the University of Notre Dame and I intend to major in Film, Television and Theater, as well as explore extra-curriculars like club ice hockey. I am especially excited to be working for Fighting Irish Media, the award-winning video production, storytelling and athletics communication arm of the Notre Dame Athletics Department. This job will allow me to blend my passions for sports and film by telling stories of athletic teams at the NCAA level. I feel truly honored to join this incredible media team!

Matthew: At Ashley’s “Next November” showing in June, I again realized how PDS can guide and encourage its students to create such amazing things. A recent conversation with my parents made me reflect on my time at PDS and how it helped shape me into who I am today. Without access to PDS’s unique woodworking shop, and teachers like Debbie Hillmanno, I never would have found my passion for art and furniture design, and perhaps wouldn’t have decided to become a mechanical engineer. And without David Figueroa (Fig), who challenged every single one of the answers I gave him in my American History and International Relations classes, I never would have learned to dive so deeply into material in order to flush out fact from opinion and help me succeed in my courses at MIT. After graduating from PDS in 2013, I moved on to MIT and, in the process of earning a degree in Mechanical Engineering, with a concentration in Biomechanics and Biomedical Devices, I filed three patents, published two peerreviewed papers, and created an awardwinning company, centered around the design and distribution of a low cost prosthetic device for the developing world. This past June I graduated from MIT, and was fortunate enough to be awarded a Marshall Scholarship for two Master’s degrees in the UK (a Master’s of Science in Biomedical Engineering at Imperial College London and a Master’s of Philosophy in Engineering at University of Cambridge). Additionally, I was recently awarded a three-year National Science Foundation (NSF) Fellowship for when I return to the US (2019-2022) that will completely fund my PhD in a joint program between the MIT Engineering Department and Harvard Medical School. Through both my studies in the UK and my subsequent PhD work, I will specialize in neuroprosthetics and biologically inspired robotics, with the hope of someday designing assistive exoskeletons for the physically disabled. FALL 2017

Wording

Master

While PDS’s faculty and curriculum certainly played a SCHOOL LIFE significant role in shaping me into who I am today, there is one tradition in particular that I hope never ends and to which I can directly attribute my undergraduate path: Pioneer in Science Day. When MIT Professor Hugh Herr, a double amputee and pioneer in the field of prosthetic engineering, spoke at PDS during my sophomore year, I was inspired to follow in his footsteps. It was that day, getting to see what can be accomplished through a career in STEM (or STEAM), that I realized what and where I wanted to study. In an interesting twist, not only was Professor Hugh Herr my inspiration to pursue engineering and go to MIT, but there is also now a chance that Professor Herr will be my PhD adviser for my thesis in assistive exoskeletons. There are many more reasons why I am thankful to PDS; for without it, I almost certainly would not have ended up where I am today. I think PDS has just made a huge step in the right direction by creating its new state-of-the-art STEAM Initiative. I would encourage every student to approach it with an open and, more importantly, curious mind; for I think exposure to STEAM is valuable even for those not interested in engineering or the sciences.

Eric Chen ’19 and Kevin Chen ’11: Two Violinists Soar to New Heights

Kevin: After graduating from Princeton Day School in 2011, I attended Columbia University under the ColumbiaJuilliard-Exchange Program, and received my Bachelor’s degree from Columbia University in 2015 and my Master’s degree from the Juilliard School in 2016. During these years, I also appeared as a soloist with the Riverside Symphonia, the Columbia University Orchestra, and the World Civic Orchestra in Alice Tully Hall. While I was at Juilliard, I had privilege to play as concertmaster of the Juilliard Orchestra for a number of concerts, including performances at Alice Tully Hall in New York and the Harris Theater in Chicago. In 2017, I was named one of ten Zarin Mehta Fellows of the New York Philharmonic Global Academy Fellowship Program. As fellows of this program, we were invited to play alongside the New York Philharmonic musicians for a cycle of their subscription concerts, conducted by their Music Director, Alan Gilbert. JOURNAL

This summer, I participated in the Verbier Festival in Switzerland and performed as one of the concertmasters of the Verbier Festival Orchestra under the batons of Maestros Joshua Weilerstein and Daniel Harding. In the fall, I will be moving to Miami to join the New World Symphony as a First Year Violin Fellow.

Eric: In December of

2016, I competed in The First Shu-Te Sylvia Lee violin competition in Taiwan and was the first place winner of the junior division. This prestigious competition, which took place in Taipei, included 130 participants (aged 11–22) of Taiwanese heritage from all over the world. The 11-member judge panel was led by world-renowned violinist Cho-Liang Lin. During the competition, I was able to meet young musicians from prestigious music schools such as the Curtis Institute, Colburn Music Academy, Hamburg Hochschule für Musik und Theater, and University of Music and Performing Arts in Vienna. I was honored to be selected as the first place winner of the junior division. The 1st place prize included a prize of $7,000 and a solo recital in Taipei during the winter of 2017. In April, I won the Juilliard Pre-College Concerto Competition in New York, performing Chausson Poeme written by Ernest Chausson in 1896. As first-place winner, I performed the piece as the soloist with the Juilliard PreCollege Orchestra in May at Lincoln Center. This summer, I attended the Aspen Music Festival and School where I was lucky enough to play alongside world renowned violinists such as Gil Shaham and Adele Anthony. I was also given the opportunity to study with teachers such as Donald Weilerstein. I am extremely thankful for how supportive my PDS classmates and teachers have been of my musical studies. Two particular teachers I feel that I need to give a huge thanks to are Dr. Rzeczycki and Ms. Schafer who both supported my musical education and expanded it through new genres of repertoire and in-depth music theory teachings. Princeton Day School has not only supported my musical endeavors but it has also enhanced how I approach and study music. I can’t wait to continue my musical studies in and outside of PDS.

ONE Class:

TWO Reunion Years Reflections from the pcd Class of ’65/pds Class of ’68

By Linda Maxwell Stefanelli ’62 Customarily, high school students graduate only once. However, one group of our alumni has the unique distinction of being able to claim two legitimate class years: ’65 and ’68. They were the last boys to graduate from Princeton Country Day School and the first to graduate from Princeton Day School. The peculiarity occurred because PCD ended after ninth grade, leaving its graduates with three years of high school to complete, traditionally at all-male boarding schools. PDS, formed by the merger of PCD and Miss Fine’s School, offered a new option. The possibility of keeping their sons at home was attractive to many parents and having girls in class certainly appealed to their sons, but they also weighed the academic and athletic reputations of well-established prep schools against the untested promise of PDS. Coeducation was still such a radical concept in independent secondary schools that some PCD teachers resigned rather than teach “the opposite sex.” Adding to the uncertainty, PDS’ headmaster resigned six months before the school opened, leaving its leadership to a coalition of trustees, administrators and faculty. In the end, 11 of the 29 boys in the PCD Class of ’65 enrolled as sophomores at PDS. (Another alumnus joined them the following year.) They came together for their 50th PCD reunion three years ago and, as they prepare to celebrate their PDS 50th next May, they share their impressions of those transition years. “We had gotten word that the school opening would be delayed,” recalls Joe Chandler, now the owner of a biotechnology company. “I was so eager to start at the new PDS that I decided on the spur of the moment to ride my bike the 11 miles from my home in Hamilton to the campus. I just had to see the place for myself since I was excited to start and very impatient. “PDS offered many more classes than PCD,” he adds. “I thought that was pretty important. And coeducation was great, but I found I had to pay more attention in class because they were distracting!” John Claghorn, a private wealth manager in New York City, found the addition of girls “delightful” and says his only real adjustment was “having to open the door for half the class.” “It was great to have girls one and two years older,” says Andy Fishmann, a pulmonary critical care specialist in Los Angeles. “I thought of the older girls as big sisters, especially the seniors.” Rick Ross, a New Jersey attorney, had attended a coed school before joining PCD for its final year and was excited at the prospect of again studying with “Girls!!!” Of the seniors, he says, “The Class of ’66 was terrific — welcoming, inclusive, a great group.” For all its advantages, the transition presented some unforeseen difficulties and some that simply took time to resolve. One issue was the fact that MFS had been twice the size of PCD and that majority transferred to the new school. “My impression was that PDS was an extension of Miss Fine’s and not an equal combination of the two schools,” says Bob Spears, a secondary school administrator in Los Angeles.

“There were more girls than boys at first,” Mr. Chandler observes, “so there was a sense that the girls were in a greater number of extracurricular roles but by the time we were seniors, it equilibrated.” Proving the point, Mr. Chandler served as class treasurer, Dr. Fishmann was elected senior class president, and their classmate, the late Bill Rigot, was voted Student Council President. Athletics, particularly, was impacted by the lack of upperclassmen. Even with a requirement that all students participate in team sports in each of the three seasons, it took a year or two to field boys varsity teams, and ice hockey was played off campus until the PDS rink was completed in 1967. The boys also had difficulty with the college process. Unlike MFS, PCD had no college admission history and PDS was an unknown quantity. The school had no college counselors at the time and the boys had to sell not only themselves but also their school to admission officers. “No male college ever heard of PDS, which was quite the hurdle,” Mr. Claghorn remembers. As the oldest boys to make their way through Upper School, those in the Class of ’68, PCD alumni as well as the three who came from other schools, were acutely aware of their pioneer status. Speaking at the building dedication in October 1965, Class X Student Council Representative Sandy Wandelt, now an independent retailer, said, “The faculty and the Board of Trustees can do everything in their power to make PDS a fine school, but they need the enthusiasm, spirit, and backing which only we can provide.” The next three years saw many milestones: the first class to graduate from PDS in 1966, the last all-girl class to graduate in 1967, and the first coed graduating class in ’68. They can be proud of the role they played in shaping the school’s identity and the many ways PDS, in turn, shaped their lives. “I still use the lessons I learned in those days,” says Mr. Ross. “The school had a major impact on my life.” Dr. Fishmann is grateful for the education as well as the social skills he picked up and says simply, “It was a great time.” Mr. Chandler echoes his feelings: “I learned a lot, of course, but I had a wonderful time. I quickly made friends with many of the girls in my class and I have remained friends with them ever since. I wouldn’t change a thing.” PCD Class of 1965 from The Junior Journal pictured above: Front row: Browne, Laughlin, Pickering, Fishmann*, Mueller, Claghorn*, Hutner, Raines*, Desmond.

“At PDS, my three children are each challenged differently in a way that is appropriate for their individual abilities, yet somehow each of my children thinks that PDS is the perfect school for them.

“Great teachers do indeed make a difference in the lives of their students. But make no mistake; students also make a difference in the lives of teachers. I give to Princeton Day School in honor and in memory of those many advisees, students, faculty colleagues and friends who made PDS such a memorable part of my life. Life moves on and we all confront new challenges as we reach different stages in our lives. My former students are now the age I was during my years at PDS and they are now raising their own children. It would be fun to compare notes. Thank you to all who helped to make PDS a significant time in my life. Iris and I are forever grateful.” — Sanford B. Bing, h’87 Former Head of School, P’81, ’84

Duncan Mathews Joyce, a scholar and avid squash player, is the fifth generation Princeton student in the Denny family. Back in the 19th century, Collins Denny, Sr., class of 1876, arrived on campus from Winchester, Virginia. He became the captain of the undefeated football team playing two games against Rutgers! Then there was Collins Denny, Jr. ’21, Collins Denny III ’56, William Denny ’83 (our son) and now we are very happy and proud to include Duncan, class of 2021.

Merriol Baring-Gould Almond “just discovered a great thought provoking nonfiction children’s book, Fault Lines in the Constitution, The Framers, their Fights, and the Flaws that Affect Us Today. One of the authors is a law school professor and an American legal scholar. Would have led to great discussions in classes led by teachers, such as Miss Rohr or Mrs. Shepherd. Great gift for grandchildren and informative reading for us today. Authors are Cynthia and Sanford Levinson, printed in 2017. Many of the issues — for example: gerrymandering — are vitally relevant today. “Oh, and I was delighted to encounter Lucy Bussell Myers at a Tanglewood Saturday morning Open Rehearsal a couple of weeks ago, looking great!”

Mary Tyson Goodridge (Ty Lund) wrote “Yes, 80 came and went softly. Feel so fortunate to be totally alive and well and present for my three grandchildren. Love older age. Lifting weights, hiking and about to start riding again. Why not continue to celebrate not only who you are but one’s life? Celebrate and continue to create is my mantra.” Ellen Jamieson Franck wrote “I wish I had something more exciting to send you. I have spent the summer bouncing around the East Coast, catching up with family and old friends. Guess what? The more years that pass, the more relatives there are to track. I am not complaining, just noticing.” Alice Marie Nelson wrote “The most exciting thing we did was to take a trip to Denmark and Sweden to visit my newly-discovered cousins. We had a marvelous time going from Copenhagen to Bastad to Stockholm. Visited Birgit Nilsson’s birthplace and the splendid museum that her family has created on the

original farm. She never forgot her roots and returned every year to sing a concert in the local church. We also visited the gem of a 17th century opera house at Drottningholm, outside Stockholm. My cousins are a fun lot and they didn’t push to do all the touristy things; we enjoyed good meals with wine and songs along the way! So a fine time was had by all. We hope to return to these beautiful countries and delightful relatives soon.”

Laura Travers Pardee wrote “Nothing too special to say except we went to Vassar to our grandson, Jake Pardee’s, graduation in late May. We’re off to Wilmington in late October for Fred’s 65th reunion at Friends School, which does such an outstanding job of honoring and cultivating their alumni of every age. It was great fun for Chloe and me to see Jeanie Crawford when she was in Sarasota in March. I, Chloe King, enjoyed being on Anna Maria Island last winter! It was wonderful to see Laura and Jeanie while there. Lucy Bussell Myers and I met at Symphony Hall this winter for a quick visit. Lovely to see her again! In June we had a marvelous small ship cruise around the British Isles and Ireland. Enjoyed a quick visit with some of my family in Bay Head this summer, and spent much time in NH, enjoying the lake and golf courses there. Life is good!

Joan Pearce Anselm and Klaus are still living outside of Charlottesville, VA, in a lovely house with room for Klaus to pursue his tapestry weaving on looms of various sizes. They continue to judge dog shows, but are winding down their involvement in that world because as Joan says, “there are other things in life!” One of “those things” continues to be travel: they spent three weeks in the two Irelands this past summer, and four days in Wales. They noted that the divide between the Catholic and Protestant Irelands seems to be as strong as ever.

new community. Anne also has been attending college-level classes, and is very excited to be doing some academic learning again. (Wouldn’t Mrs. Shepherd be pleased?!) The only one of us currently living in the Princeton area is Patty Henderson Lincoln, who also reported that life is good. Her husband Dick is still playing music, which gives him (and others) great pleasure. They just returned from a wonderful two weeks in New Hampshire with children and grandchildren. She stated that she has had, and continues to have, a wonderful life, and feels very blessed.

Molly Wade McGrath and husband Norman still live in NYC, and also have “a nice house in the woods” in Patterson, NY. Molly and I (Charlotte Cook) grew up next door to each other until she went to boarding school. In a wonderful email exchange, we reminisced, and came up with memories of being very unkind to a quiet, younger boy who lived nearby. Example: We retrieved some handwritten documents from the trash, and the two of us “toasted” them on the stove, so they looked ancient. We hid them in the barn, and let Hugh discover them. Then we told him they must be from the time of the Revolutionary War. While pleased with our inventiveness, we are much chagrined by our deceit. We hope – going on 70 years later – that we have grown kinder as we have grown older!

She and Marina had an enjoyable lunch gettogether recently. Still an avid reader, she wants to recommend a novel to us: The Caves of Perigord, by Martin Walker. Margy Pacsu Campbell is enjoying life in her and Bob’s lovely, historic Victorian house in downtown Toronto. Both of their children live nearby. She loves her city, and her adopted country, but unfortunately she is currently dealing with health issues, in the form of small, inert, benign tumors in her lungs. She says she is scared, but profoundly grateful to be living in a county with universal health coverage. She will be monitored with CT scans every three months (up to 15 scans) for the next two years to assess whether tumors have grown or moved – all of this free of charge. Margy concluded: “With four big tests coming up in the next few weeks, I am anxious, but at least I know that I will never amass serious financial burdens related to health care!” My thanks to all who responded to my request for news – catching up has been a great pleasure, and I look forward to contacting everyone again next time.

Everyone looked well and was optimistic.” Anne commented: “We had a lovely evening celebrating our 60th reunion. Where did the time go?”

Marina Turkevich Naumann is preparing to downsize, which includes sorting through mounds of paper left by her dear deceased husband Bob. She says it is painful, but she is getting it done. Seven weeks at a family home on Long Island Sound this summer was a refreshing getaway, and she returned to her home in VT feeling very fit after swimming nearly every day. She is thrilled that son, Andrew (a PDS ’84 grad), has moved back to Princeton from the Seattle area.

Nancy noted: “We talked about the pitiful decline in the English language, especially in Washington. Mrs. Shepherd would be shocked, as, I guess, we all are.

Of course, maybe it won’t be here…. We’ll see.”

Mary Strunsky Wisnovsky sent exciting news: “Our grandson, Simon Wisnovsky, was married late last fall. He and his wife Caroline had lived together their last year at McGill and four years at the University of Toronto. Simon is now going for a post-doc at Stanford. In order for Caroline, who is a Canadian citizen, to get a job in the Palo Alto area, she will need a green card, which can take almost a year to process. This is why they had a very quiet marriage ceremony in Toronto last fall, followed by a post-wedding blast in Montreal this past July. “Needless to say Joe and I are very proud of

Amanda Collins, age 12, is a very serious ballet dancer. She was in the Los Gatos Ballet production of the Nutcracker and Alice in Wonderland, and danced on pointe shoes for the first time. Her dad designed most of the set, which was beautiful. Sarah and her husband will be celebrating their 50th wedding anniversary on a cruise down the Pacific coast in mid-November. Lisa Fairman Heher also is very busy with grandchildren. Her sixteen-year-old granddaughter, Alessandra, has a learner’s permit and Lisa frequently is the supervising adult in the passenger seat! The entire family is going to South Carolina in August and will be viewing the August 21st eclipse there. My grandchildren will be here in Michigan for the eclipse, an event that seems to be very popular with the young ones.

Gerd and I were in Tasmania in early March, and we even saw a Tasmanian Devil out in the bush! Wallabies and wombats were everywhere. The golf courses are beautiful, as most are along the Tasman Sea. In Hobart, the Museum of Old and New (MONA) is worth a visit.

Never thought such an expanded renovation would happen. Architecturally fascinating!”

Dana Conroy Aymond ’59 with her two sons at the memorial service for Dana’s husband Charlie Kristina Grondahl has cut back work and traveling, which gives her more time to write. She is currently working on a trilogy set in Scandinavia in the 1800’s. Completed book one is titled Limits To Eternity. She is lucky enough to have four grandchildren nearby. Nan Nicholes Goodrich reported that building her new home and guest house at a NH lake is taking more time because of the “improvements” she thinks of frequently. She will take an Erie Canal cruise.

My mentee went to McDaniel College, all expenses paid, but did not attend classes!! She now seems content with a part-time job at Amazon and no longer responds to my communications. Very sad, but I am still hoping for a better future.

Let’s start with some news from Sheila Long who reported that they “had some interesting guests here at the monastery this summer. A thirty-five-year-old woman from Singapore came for some R&R after three years of helping Chinese women in New York City who were victims of sex trafficking. Our guest was ethnically Chinese, and was able to communicate with the many women who had paid a lot of money in China to come here, with the promise of a good job in New York, only to be forced into prostitution. She will be returning to Singapore shortly, where she plans FALL 2017

to work as a social worker with the urban poor. More recently, someone who teaches speech at NYU and trains service dogs came for a long weekend, with her dog, as we advertise ourselves as being pet-friendly. I hoped she might have known Trika, but she didn’t.”

Cynthia Weinrich wrote, “I really lucked out on my annual visit to see my sister and family in LA last spring since it coincided with the height of the wildflower blooms in nearby areas. This year was a superbloom year in some areas of California; I struck gold on one: Carrizo Plain National Monument. The whole place has a back-of-beyond feeling (you’re even told to bring in your water), and most of the roads are dirt, but it’s worth it. “Also stopped in Tucson to visit a best friend from childhood camp days for whom I had lost sight of and spent years searching. Thanks to expanded internet tools, I finally found her last winter. Was great to re-connect, and see the wildlife around Tucson. All those birds with unpronounceable names and emphatic colors and designs were flocking around her ‘yard,’ which of course consisted of all different sorts of cacti. Then took the overnight train to LA ($38!), which was fun also. “Tibby (Chase Dennis), Elise (Bruml) and I managed to have dinner and breakfast in NYC in June — fun. Otherwise commuting between NYC (playing as a sub on Sundays), my house in Salem, NY, and Tibby’s cottage in Whitefield.”

Lucia Norton Woodruff ’61 in a “blissful moment sailing on Penobscot Bay in late June.” Lucia Norton Woodruff added to this saying, “I had a fun visit with Cynthia in NYC during a blizzard right before her trip to visit her sister. We always pick up right where we left off, wonderful. Due to the storm we visited with Fiona by Skype; got to see a bit of her apartment renovations.”

Tibby added, “Apropos of Cynthia’s note about finding and visiting an old friend from the past, I recently began attacking many boxes in the basement filled with old papers in an effort to weed, organize and downsize. The experience has been amazing — retrieving old letters, photos, essays and stories that bring back so many memories, often about people from our Miss Fine’s years, whom I had long since forgotten.” There was no direct report from Debbie Moore Krulewitch, but an automatic response from her work address gave us her news: “After JOURNAL

29 wonderful years at ELC [Estee Lauder Companies] I have decided to retire as of 6/26/17. I will be away for most of the summer traveling and with very limited access to emails. I will return in the fall and continue to work as a philanthropy consultant with ADDF & BCRF [Alzheimer Drug Discovery Foundation and Breast Cancer Research Foundation].” Julia Cornforth Holofcener continues to be upbeat, and wrote: “Since Larry’s death in March, my life has not changed too much. I’m still very involved with marketing his creations, including his last play, The Big Sleepover at the White House, which is opening next April in England. Also, I’m going to the unveiling of a casting of his Faces of Olivier at a theatre on the Isle of Wight, following two weeks in Italy with my sister. Life is good, although I miss Larry’s wonderful mind, but I’m surrounded with all of his glorious sculptures and paintings!”

Fiona Morgan Fein’s life is keeping her busy too. “Among the highlights of the last months was a week in England, mostly London, but including a magical day wandering all over the Salisbury Plain looking at very, very old rocks; completing some we-really-have-to-dothis-now work on our apartment; and taking advantage of NYC’s music, ballet, and theater performances. I’ve just completed my ninth year as a Wells College Trustee; term limits require me to step down for a year, but I hope to go back on in the future. It’s been an enormously rewarding and interesting experience and a welcome opportunity to make a difference. I’m still plugging away at learning classical guitar. Sadly, nothing I learned playing folk music is of much help, but the challenge keeps the grey matter forging new connections, and I love it on the days when I don’t hate it. I want to add my voice to the chorus of those congratulating Nancy on the publication of Donut Dollies, which I read with fascination shortly after it came out.” Which is a nice segue to me and my news (Nancy Smoyer). I’ve appreciated comments I’ve been getting about my book (Donut Dollies in Vietnam: Baby-Blue Dresses and OD Green) from classmates, veterans, Wall volunteers and others. As Sheila said, “I had never heard of Donut Dollies, and certainly had no idea you’d been one. Bravo for putting all these memories together in a book!” It’s such a nice feeling to have it done after thinking about it for 50 years. I greatly enjoyed going to Billy’s 50th reunion at Dartmouth, where I am an adopted member of his class. I met old and new friends, most of whom I can’t remember!

Fortunately I was able to go down to Princeton in May for our 55th MFS reunion. What fun to see Linda Maxwell Stefanelli and Dede Shipway at the luncheon Friday at the Headmaster’s house.

Linda filled in this past school year in the Alumni Office, but she has stepped down, again. Dede is still coaching junior squash at the Princeton University courts; she coached my son, Rob, in the late 90s, so you can imagine her energy still is high today. We sat at a table with Mac McMorris ’59; he remains an old friend of Bobby Mueller ’59 who many of us knew from dancing school, eventually head of the FBI, and now Special Counsel. Mac shared some fun stories with our table. Amazingly enough, a friend of mine at boarding school married Robert Mueller. I went back Saturday morning for PDS remembrances service. Chris Gerry ’99, who was then President of the Alumni Board and a member of the Board of Trustees, spoke and then various people could get up to remember their classmates. Linda spoke eloquently about Paula Cook. The service was one of the more poignant events I have experienced — so simple, so interesting to hear classmates talk about those they have lost.

Last March I was heading to Florida to see Pat Holcomb and Cindy Brown but, alas, when a big storm was expected in the New England area, planes were cancelled the day before — the storm never materialized; I wasn’t able to reschedule but will hopefully get down there this coming March. My grandson, Wolf, whom I call Wolfie Bear, and he will call me G Bear, now a one-year-old, will be back for another summer visit over Labor Day weekend.

Kate Sayen Kirkland had six year old. grandson, Owen, spending time with her in late August, by himself; no doubt they had a great time. Gail Cotton wrote: “Delighted to announce the arrival of my second great-grandchild. Miss Leelah Anne joined our family on May 27; we are so pleased to have her. I help my daughter, Anne, take care of Leelah and her brother, Amare, every Tuesday and Wednesday. Grandson, Andrew 3½, comes to us every Monday and Thursday. It is a challenge to fit my other activities into one day a week!”

There were quite a few responses to my call for news, and I am happy to share them with you. It is always great to hear from Kleia Raubitscheck Luckner. Her email in its entirety: “No real news. I’m enjoying all three granddaughters immensely.”

Cable and Forest Griffith, son and grandson of Sharon Stevenson Griffith ’63 From Sharon Stevenson Griffith: “Summer is flying by out here — can’t believe it’s August already! But it’s been glorious today. We are taking a trip this fall: a train from here to Montreal, another to Toronto for a few days and then we get on the Canadian (four days and three nights) to Jasper (in Alberta, Canada) where we’ll spend six days around Lake Louise and Banff before taking the Rocky Mountaineer (another train) for two days and one night to Vancouver. Then we take a regular train down to Seattle. After that we will drive many miles to see some national parks:

Stay in touch, visit PDS.org

Kathy Sittig ’63 visited Bonnie Strong Berg ’63 in Johannesburg in August Glacier in MT; Yellowstone and the Tetons in WY; Arches and Bryce Canyon in UT before flying home. Should be a lot of doing — but fun! Our next OAT trip may be the Baltic.

“Anyhow, other than travel, I love having time to read, play a little golf (not very well) enjoy my garden, see friends and family. We spent a week on Nantucket in July with both sons and their families — saw Polly Miller and my sister Lissy (class of 1967).”

Pamela Sidford Schaeffer wrote: “Family, family, family. My life and times are all about being with, entertaining, feeding, enjoying our kids (plus spouses), our grandkids (four) and all the dogs (three). We have been back and forth to our house on Cape Cod many times either to vacation with every related living creature or to assist with life’s challenges for every related living creature in Los Angeles. I’m not complaining; I just need more naps. “Alice, her wife AJ, my husband Leonard and I attended Laurie Rogers’ wedding in Connecticut in early June. It was a glorious, crisp day and Laurie looked exquisite in a violet/blue dress with a lace overlay. Her handsome husband Bob looked proud and happy, too. They make weddings look good! As foretold, the six of us enjoyed some time on the Cape immediately thereafter (not exactly a honeymoon). Alice and I feel our 50+ year friendship justified our tagging along.

“Our excitement this fall is our planned adventure to London and Mallorca to lend a hand with the grands, while daughter, Jacqueline, films a movie with Rebel Wilson and Anne Hathaway. Leonard, of course, thinks he will be ‘discovered’ while wandering on set. A second career in the movie business starting at 72. If Donald can have a second career at 71 . . . At least the movie has nothing to do with Russia.” Bonnie Strong Berg wrote from Johannesburg: “It was really enjoyable having a day’s visit with Kathy Sittig and Richard Dunlop, here on an August safari to celebrate their 50th wedding anniversary. We ‘caught up’ while exploring the spectacular, indigenous Walter Sisulu Botanical Garden. It’s always a treat welcoming my classmates to Johannesburg and I hope more of you will come to South Africa.” As I mentioned, although AJ and I did not get to Johannesburg, Bonnie was wonderful suggesting places for us to see in the towns we visited in South Africa.

Andy Updike reported: “My latest news is that I have started a new business...invested in a 2005 Classic Airstream trailer and set up an Airbnb for camping on our land in Maine. Classmates can find me at ‘Coastal Camping in Snow Goose II’ in Edgecomb, Maine. Just launched this in late July and we’re almost fully booked! This is my way to continue to produce films and be active on environmental justice issues, while making some money on the homefront. Stephen and I also will do some US traveling in it this winter and spring to satisfy our photography and painting passions, and enjoy warmer weather. We’d love to visit classmates and can put ourselves up in Snow Goose.” Earlier this morning, we witnessed the total eclipse from our backyard. While we were not in the path of totality, we came very close, seeing over 99%! It was amazing, and I feel very lucky that we got to see it. All is well in our lives here in Portland. We enjoyed Laurie and Bob’s wedding and our time together with them and the Schaeffers. We are off to Croatia and Venice later in the fall.

Not much to write this time around. Everyone in the class of MFS 1964 appears to have gone underground; all except Dora Lange and Linda Conroy Vaughn. Thanks Dora and Linda. We will have to wait a little longer to get the latest scoop from Linda as she just wrote to say she was out of the country and had just arrived in Oman from Iran and couldn’t contribute to our column in this issue.

However, she did write an email last March and shared this wonderful travel story. “I’m way up on the Hooghly River in West Bengal, India on a Stanford University travel trip. They see about 300 Westerners a year in this part of the world. There is a couple named John and Ann McDonnell (as in McDonnell Douglas) on this trip. He went to Princeton as an undergraduate and got his master’s in aeronautical engineering. While he was getting his master’s, she worked as a kindergarten teacher at Miss Fine’s from 1961-2. They lived in an apartment behind someone’s house on Pretty Brook Road. I mean really??? What are the odds of two of us associated with MFS on this trip of 13 people on the other side of the world?” Pretty amazing!’ Dora has also been on the move, but stayed home long enough to enjoy a visit from Susan Schildkraut Wallach and Cary Smith Hart. She wrote, “It was wonderful getting together with Susan Wallach in February during Palm Springs’ Modernism Week, and in March, I spent a lovely afternoon with Cary and her adorable new grandson when they were in La Quinta for the BNP Parabas tennis tournament. April brought the annual craziness of three weekends of the Coachella Festival, plus Stagecoach — both held directly across the street from our house. Despite the inconveniences, the rock festivals make us

have been in the process of downsizing but not far from where we are, to Bethesda. After belaboring on whether we should go into an apartment, we realized that we really wanted to be in another house, just more on one level. So we are in the process of building our ‘dream’ retirement home. I just wonder if we will still be ambulatory by the time it is ready!

Dora Lange ’64 and Cary Smith Hart ’64 last March. feel young again! Travels this year include Washington, DC, Hawaii, Tuscany and Western Australia — not bad for Grandma and newlyretired Grandpa!”

Love it when my grandson, Jasper, comes to visit for two weeks each summer, which he did again this year. He is the son of Elizabeth Hare ’88 and Todd Drake. Jasper adores playing soccer, which he does very well. It’s possible I will have another soccer-playing grandson in Henry Hare, son of Hobie Hare ’93, born last February. At this point Henry and I are regular i-chat buddies, as he lives in Boston. I look forward to hearing from many more of you during the next six months. Not too soon to be thinking about filling our little column in the spring Journal.

She is still living on her own and is ornery enough to outlive us all. On the other end of the spectrum, my daughter, Sarah, has just given birth to her second child, Maisie. I am not sure if her three-year-old-brother, Callum, feels that she is a welcomed addition to the family. They live in SF so we go out there often to visit. We couple the visit out West to LA, where my son, Nick, is doing the executive MBA program at UCLA, and working at City Bank in their investment department. “I am still working at my job as an ed consultant for special needs adolescents and young adults and hope to continue doing this as long as it is still interesting to me.

I am expecting my first grandchild at the end of July. My daughter and husband live just 20 minutes away so I am very excited to get to know this next little person. My son and wife continue sailing the world and are sailing the Alaska coast this summer. I continue to volunteer with AFS and enjoy getting to know the exchange students as they come each year. I live in Freeport, Maine, so if anyone comes up this way for a vacation and makes a stop at LL Bean, please let me know. I know that Gretchen and Penny Griswold are also here in Maine.” Barbara Putnam wrote: “The big excitement for this summer is a trip to Germany and Austria to revisit the places we lived in 1958-9. I went to sixth grade at the English speaking Vienna International Community School, and we spent our summers near Salzburg with relatives of my father’s. (That year roughly bisected my time at MFS, where I was for fourth, fifth, seventh, eighth and ninth grades.) I’m going with my daughter and her boyfriend, who will be seeing Munich, Salzburg and Vienna for the first time.

“In the fall there is a wedding in the DC area, which gives us an excuse to stay with Peggy Woodbridge Dennis and her husband Bob, and visit with them as well. “The things I am enjoying the most these days are gardening, and teaching and learning about yoga. My interest in serving on boards

and vestries and such has dwindled, and I’m dropping off as my terms expire. I’m looking forward to having fewer organizational responsibilities, and more time enjoying the parks and trails in and around Litchfield, CT.”

I, Peggy “Woody” Woodbridge Dennis would need 40 hours in the day to get it all done. I am still advocating with local politicians for better bicycle infrastructure, liberalizing archery hunting in the metro suburbs to allow volunteer hunters to cull the deer herds, which are ravaging our parks and destroying the natural environment. Much travel lately: first, a two-week trip in England to be with husband’s family for my brother-in-law’s 70th birthday party; then, an “Amherst Amigos” 50th anniversary reunion in (where else, Amherst!) with so many wonderful, former volunteers; followed by a two day trip to travel to Vondre, TN to see the eclipse; and finally, three days in Maine for family reunion and funeral for my cousin who had both fixed me up with my future husband and encouraged me to enter the Foreign Service. Looking forward to 10 days in Mexico with husband Bob and son, Alex, first on an Earthwatch project helping with research on the “floating gardens” of Xochimilco and promoting traditional agriculture, then time to return to my village, La Asuncion Malacatepec, for another 50th anniversary reunion where I hope to reconnect with old friends who were such wonderful and life-changing hosts.

Princeton Country Day School 1932 Benjamin F. Howell, Jr. wrote to the alumni office: “I was born June 12, 1917 in Princeton, the son of a graduate student at the University. After he received his PhD, he continued as a professor at Princeton for all his life. I attended Miss Fine’s School for four years, the Country Day School for five years and Lawrenceville for 10th, 11th and 12th grades, and graduated from Princeton University in 1939 with a BS degree in geology. In 1941 I received a MS in geophysics from California Institute of Technology. I worked as a civilian for the Navy for the next five years, and then returned to Cal Tech to study for my PhD in geophysics. In 1949 I accepted a job as Professor of Geophysics at Pennsylvania State University. I retired at the age of 65 as Assistant Dean of the Graduate School at Penn State. I have had a wonderful life traveling all over the world presenting papers on earthquake seismology before the International Association of Geology and Geophysics, visiting every continent except Antarctica. I am now living in the Juniper retirement home in State College. “I got a great start at Miss Fine’s and the Country Day School. I appreciate this. I hope all of the graduates have as great a career as I have had.”

“My wife of 42 years died two years ago from an aortic dissection, which is a catastrophic event with no previous warning; she was here one day and gone the next. This is a shocking way to leave this earth, yet perhaps better than a long sickness. I had to rationalize her death this way, which occurred June 9, 2015.

Well, classmates. Typically, you have managed to send in almost nothing. I’d think that since most of you are staring at your bottle of Geritol and wondering whether to add ice or drink it at room temperature, you could find a moment to write something. Fortunately Peter Moock still has all of his faculties and sent in the following:

“No, I’m not quite dead yet (in answer to your question. On a more pleasant note, our grandgirls, Clio and Elsa, turned 10 at the end of December, and they’re both thriving. Elsa is a scholastic ‘star,’ and she has become an accomplished artist/cartoonist. Clio, younger by 10 minutes, and diagnosed with leukemia when she was five, finished her treatment two and a half years ago, and she feels and looks great. She loves music and demonstrates real talent, singing as a member of the Cambridge Children’s Chorus of the Boston City Singers and accompanying her dad (www.moockmusic. com) in many of his ‘family’ shows. These sisters couldn’t be much more different, in looks, temperament, and interests.

“Alastair, his wife Jane (http://janeroper.com/), and the girls recently moved into a ‘new, old house’ in Melrose, MA, the latest in a series of moves away from central Boston (Cambridge to Somerville to Medford to Melrose) in search of cheaper housing and a good public school education for Elsa and Clio. They are in different fourth grade classes in one of Melrose’s four elementary schools – not the one closest to their house, but the one most ethnically and socio-economically diverse.

“Wife Joyce and I split our time between New York (our house of 40 years in Larchmont) and Boston (a condo townhouse in Winchester, about 20 minutes from the kids’ place in Melrose). Last summer, Alastair and Joyce organized a party ‘to celebrate 75 years of Moock.’ About 60 guests – nephews and nieces and their families, mostly up from New Jersey, and a number of Boston-based friends, including David Smoyer and wife Mary, who presented me with a ‘Keep Calm and Ride On’ t-shirt and a poster-size, blown-up photograph of David on the back of my 350-cc AJS motorcycle during a trip we made in the summer of 1962 (between our junior and senior years at Williams and Dartmouth), from Paris to southern France, around Switzerland, and back to Paris. Incidentally, Mary was touring Europe that same summer with David’s sister Nancy, a college friend, and David and I both met Mary for the first time in a restaurant in Les Halles. When I returned in 1966 from East Africa (where I spent three years right after Williams), I found David and Mary already married. “After I retired from the World Bank in 2003 (mandatory at age 62), and after consulting nearly full-time over the decade that followed (for the World Bank, the Asian Development Bank, the Millennium Challenge Corporation, and the Governments of Australia and Japan), I’m doing much less ‘work’ these days, no longer willing to climb into airplanes and travel half way around the world and happy to have more time to spend with the grand-girls and two demanding Golden Retriever ‘puppies’ – Monty (2½) and Guthrie (1½). Next month (April), I will complete my second three-year term on the Alumni Council of Columbia University’s Teachers College, where I have served as co-chair of the College’s International Outreach Committee. Earlier this month, Teachers College presented me with its ‘Harold J. Noah Award,’ a kind of lifetime achievement recognition of an alumnus (I received my MA from TC in comparative education in 1970 and my PhD in economics in 1973, and I taught there later for 10 years before moving to the World Bank) ‘who has demonstrated excellence in the advancement of scholarship and applied work in the field of international and comparative education.’ “Joyce is not quite ready to retire. She left her position as Associate Vice President of the Rockefeller Foundation in 2007, after 28 years there, and she has been consulting for the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, the Carnegie Corporation, the Doris Duke Foundation, the Ford Foundation, and the Woodrow Wilson

National Fellowship Foundation, and she is a long-time board member of the Kenya-based African Economic Research Consortium (AERC). Over the past year, she has traveled to Abidjan, Addis Ababa, Nairobi, and Stockholm for AERC board meetings. She is currently doing desk work for the Carnegie Corporation, and she recently gave some pro-bono assistance to Alan Alda (actor and one-time board member of the Rockefeller Foundation) on a project he has launched to help scientific researchers communicate more effectively with the rest of us (non-scientists). “Sorry, Dorf, for sending more information than I think you asked for and I’m sure you wanted. I’m making up for 61 years of no news sent to the Journal. Feel free to be selective.

“See you at the Senior Center, but shouldn’t we really all plan to get together in 2021 for our 65th? After all, 80 is the new 60.” I can always count on a missive from John Cook. Our mutual love of hockey has kept us fairly close over the years, but numerous orthopedic procedures have dropped me down a few notches. No one skates faster than the puck, so I can still stand still and make a few plays. John, however wrote:

“We didn’t go to Snoopy but won the National Championship (over 70) in Tampa 1-0 in the final match. I was sore for a week. I have shot my age in golf seven times this year but it gets easier when you are in your mid-seventies, if you keep running your laps. I will fully retire this fall and hope to spend more time in our wonderful house in Woolwich, Maine. “Whoever would of thought we would have such amateur night in Washington. Our whole crew of teachers (including Frank Clark ) would be, or are, aghast.”

I just returned from a seven day trip with my four grandkids to visit the Swimming Holes of the Black Hills. Starting with the Sunday finals of Cheyenne Frontier Days Rodeo, the “Daddy of Them All,” we visited four of the greatest swimming holes that, fortunately, I was only asked to supervise. Only one was warm! Patty was designated organizer and chief cook, since we stayed at a KOA campground. Quite a contrast to last year’s boat trip to Sweden, Estonia, Russia, and Finland, but, in the words of the kids, “the best summer trip” out of 12 that we’ve done. The trip culminated with a visit to Sturgis on the first official day of “Bike Week.” It was easy to spot the kids while we wandered around; they were the ones with the clothes on and no leather. Now we’re poised to watch the eclipse, but we’re not going to join the thousands going north to experience the 100%. We’ll settle for 90%. I received a call from Hugh Wise this week, and although not in our class, was pleased to hear that he was having a book signing in Grand Junction and wanted to know if we could skate together. Unfortunately, it was on a day I had to go to Denver, so I went to buy the book, The Little Lead Soldier, and was very impressed. If you have the opportunity, Hugh done good!! JOURNAL

On a somber note, I was saddened to hear of Dave Scott’s passing. I am going to assume there is some mention of it in this edition. I remember some great times at his house on Library Place. If you can gather together a computer, you can send notes to me on Facebook or just plain email or snail mail. I would love to hear from you. Stay well my classmates. You can always visit me in Mexico.

I do not have a great deal to report this time around, but want to note the wonderful time we had at the reunion in May. We were hoping for a slightly larger turnout, but last minute things kept Joe Wright and Bill Smith away. I also corresponded with Adam Hochschild, in hopes he might be able to make the trek. California is a long way from Princeton. (I have just started reading his wife Arlie Russell Hochschild’s new book, Strangers in their Own Land, and PCD School building in 2017 am already hooked.) Andy Harris also sent his regards to everyone. He had hoped to be there, the place: “Princeton was a small town at the but because he had been at the scientists’ march time, and as athletic kids, we knew everyone, in Washington in April, a second trip would particularly the leading Princeton coaches, have been above and beyond. including Charlie Caldwell, lax coach Ferris Thompson (who gave me a stick when I went The first event was a luncheon, graciously hosted to his office in Dillon), Dick Vaughan (varsity by the Head of School Paul Stellato and his hockey, he coached our PCD team every day wife Maureen.

John Tassie and his wife Penny are going to have their first grandson, to go with the three granddaughters. John said, “It is all part of the marry-late, produce-late program from that generation.”

David Stewart communicated that all is good with him: “still teaching international law at Georgetown, serving as President of the American Branch of the International Law Association, happily retired from the State Department, and (best of all) enjoying the grandkids.” John White indicated that he has been the focus of the class notes too frequently so he’s sitting this one out….. but your class reporter knows that he has been squirreled away at Popham Beach, ME most of the summer, and is going hiking with Kathryn in Portugal in September.

I, class reporter Toby Knox, and my wife Kathryn also were in France this summer, visiting a boarding school classmate who has a house in Provence. All went well until Kathryn slipped on a hike and broke her wrist. If you want to break any bones, go to France. It cost us 140 Euros for the ER, two sets of X-rays and a cast.

The bulk of our summer has been devoted to preparing for a “downsizing” move still within the greater Burlington, VT area. Who, besides me, still has the Upper School photo from our sixth form year of the three forms standing on the steps in front of the school? My wife can’t believe I still have it. After the move, I’m headed to Bozeman, Montana, and Yellowstone and the Tetons for some fall fishing and visiting with a boarding school friend, who happens to be married to John White’s cousin ( John won’t get away easily from being included in this news report…)

He teaches Yin Yoga and works with the Telluride Ski Club Snowboard program in the winter. He also is involved with Make Life Skate Life (https://makelifeskatelife.org) an organization that works in communities around the world to help finance and build skateboard parks.

Time’s winged chariot may be barking my Achilles tendons like an impatient supermarket shopper, but I swear, really, this is not a onedraft special mailed moments before the deadline! Well, yeah, it is. Some neat replies from our reliably responsive classmates to my request for memories of our years on Broadmead. With respect to our shy, lazy, and/or indifferent classmates, to expand the 1961 footprint in The Journal, I applied my fiction-writing skills in flagrant violation of Class Secretary Law, especially Ch. 3, Sec. 38c-19b, and have inserted the results in a specially quarantined section. Look for your name there!

But first, the Lame Excuse for Not Contributing Award goes to Richard Reynolds with this corker: “Your message caught Mary and me slipping out the door to go hiking and sea kayaking off SE Greenland from a 65-ft sailboat. I hope that someone with us knows how to sail from Greenland to Iceland. No time to conjure memories; perhaps next time.”

And who but John boy, Devin, is still in New York doing his art

Sheehan still knows the words? It seems now as if we spent an awful lot of our time skating on the lake, both in school and out. I am guessing that it froze then more often and more solidly, because these days you don’t see people skating on it very often — if ever. I know some people who cleared the ice about five or six years ago to play hockey, but the police ordered them off the ice. For the record, ask your readers if they recall the words to the school song.”

attempts at their language, learned beginning in fourth form from Mr. Smyth at PCD. I needed shampoo and asked a pharmacist for shampoo ‘pour les hommes.’ He explained that cheveux are cheveux; there is no pour les femmes ou pour les hommes. He then led me to a section called ‘pour les agee.’ The shampoo he handed me was for ‘thinning, dull, listless hair in urgent need of rejuvenation.’ It’s not bad.”

The lyrics below (which cannot be reprinted often enough) appeared in our class notes by J. Ward Kuser in PDS’s 1999-2000 Centennial Calendar. I recall Mr. Smyth explaining the meaning of “homage,” and, in our sixth form year, learning the cheer thoughtfully positioned after the song. Above the lake where rival crews have bowed to Princeton’s eight

A winning spirit in the boys of Princeton Country Day. On manhood’s path our steps we point nor ever backward turn And Learning’s lamp to guide our way shall ever brightly burn, By Gentleness we shall be known, and people e ‘er will say These qualities all mark the boys of Princeton Country Day.

In time to come with dimming eyes we’ll gaze upon these walls

And pass with feebler steps along these once familiar halls When e’er that though bowed with care our homage we will pay And give a cheer like those we gave at Princeton Country Day.

And here’s the cheer that replaced our insipid “2-4-6-8 / Who do we appreciate? [insert rival’s name once]”: Hackalacka ching, Hackalacka chow,

Randy Hobler’s memory is scarily clear, as evidence by this missive: “OK, two stories, both having to do with young misbehavior. “Each classroom at PCD had a clock with a second hand. In Mr. Tibbals’ history one day, reasoning that one person misbehaving could get marks but a whole class wouldn’t, we wreaked collective revenge with the following stunt: We passed notes that at exactly 11:05 a.m. we would each drop a book onto the

floor. Leading up to 11:05, we each nudged a large book to the edge of our desk, and at the appointed second, kerblam! He had no idea what to do. We struggled to withhold our titters.

“The second story: instead of marks, the punishment in Mr. Smyth’s class was writing out numbers in French in groups of 100 (relatively enlightened, of course, because the punishment taught you something). Anyway, I wrote up the French numbers in advance, so one time Mr. Smyth stormed up to me for misbehaving and thundered, ‘All right Hobler, that’ll be 500 French numbers!’ I opened my notebook, licked my forefinger, said, ‘OK,’ and handed over 500 French numbers. Caused quite the fluster and many snickers around the room.” Father John Sheehan wrote (long-distance), “Greetings from Amman, Jordan. While I may have trouble remembering what I had for breakfast, memories from PCD don’t seem to fade. The ‘ole school did make an impression, and I still use things I learned there; in fact, when I was teaching, I stole shamelessly from some of our better teachers. Anyway, one thing I remember is that when I arrived at PCD, the 6th formers adopted me — sort of like a pet — calling me ‘Spanky’ after the TV character.

“This February I arrived in Jordan as Pastor for the English language Catholic Parish in Amman. It is a personal parish, my appointment confirmed by the Patriarch’s Office in Jerusalem — which means I don’t have a physical church. We celebrate Mass in several locations around Jordan, including in a chapel here at the Jesuit Center, where we also have classes, seminars and programs for refugees. We also work with Jesuit Refugee Services, which has classrooms on our property. Jordan is now ‘host’ to almost two million refugees, and since the country’s population is around 6.5 million, it’s a strain. But it’s peaceful, ordered and probably the safest country in the Middle East. “(Well, as I write this — gunfire outside in the street. Not to panic — it’s a wedding and shooting off rifles is a traditional tribal way of celebrating. Occasionally somebody gets shot but rarely killed — tradition!)

“I have started to learn Arabic, which makes juggling a bowling ball, machete, and table saw blade seem easy. I’ll get it, but it’s more work than I had anticipated. (I just had a vision of Mr. Gorman walking the aisle, twirling that damn whistle on a lanyard. But between him and Mr. Smythe, I did learn French.)

[Deleted on advice of counsel: fictional reports of non-responding classmates traveling to Andromeda, refusing Nobel prizes, crashing driverless cars, publishing DIY surgery manuals, etc.] For a closer, here’s John Becker’s timely memory: “In the second or third form, one morning in assembly, Headmaster Henry Ross gave an address in his baritone — national newspapers were filled with stories of racial strife as the civil rights movement was just getting started, and Mr. Ross, in what I came to see was a risky move, dug into this full-bore. Bringing such larger issues into our PCD bubble really got my attention. He started JOURNAL

off with a kind of general apology on his (and our) behalf to black Americans for the injustices of the past. He seemed to know it was a ridiculously huge subject, he didn’t want to appear presumptuous, but clearly he had struggled; this was his attempt to deal with it. Gently reminding us that we had always lived a somewhat segregated school life, he asked us to imagine how we would feel if a black student were to attend PCD, or how a black student would feel in our white school. So he was also saying, ‘The future is coming kiddos, and I want you to meet it with respect and understanding.’ Usually this uncomfortable stuff was discussed only when forced by some external event. It took courage. He was a sport!”

More news about Woody Johnson. In early August, the United States Senate confirmed his appointment as the US Ambassador to the United Kingdom. Several weeks later Woody was sworn in as ambassador in an Oval Office ceremony, attended by both President Trump and Vice President Pence. Woody said afterwards, “It’s the greatest privilege of my life.” He will serve a three-year appointment and live in London while his brother, Christopher ’80, will take over as the chairman and CEO of the Jets football team. Congratulations and good luck, Woody! But I wonder if President Trump realizes that special counsel Robert Mueller is also a graduate of Princeton Country Day – PCD class of 1959. Paul Vogel welcomed his first grandchild on April 9, 2017 — Zachary Hayes VogelSeidenberg. Congratulations, Paul!

Rick Eckels wrote he was: “enjoying an uneventful retirement in Memphis. Traveling and activities with my grandchildren occupy most of my time. If anyone coming through wants to meet Elvis, I can provide a special audience.” Rick has fully recovered from a medical issue and enjoyed a 70th birthday party in Ponte Vedra, Florida with his entire family. We should all remember that 70 may be the new 50, but dead is not the new alive. Speaking of 70th birthday parties, Rod Myers celebrated with a dinner at The Greenbriar Resort in White Sulfur Springs, West Virginia, with John Gaston, Rick Delano, Rick Eckels and me. Rod continues to live in Washington, D.C. with frequent trips to Key West, Cape May, Oregon and elsewhere.

I had a delightful visit with Ad Hanan who has retired from Solomon Brothers and other financial institutions and is now enjoying life in Nantucket. I also saw our former teacher, Wesley McCaughan, PCD h’61. Still living on his own at age 92, Mr. McCaughan is our link with so many terrific teachers from our PCD years. I am sure he would appreciate a note from any of us expressing our thanks and good wishes.

Princeton Day School Woodchuck in the Road Follow-up:

Perusing the Class Notes in the last issue of the Journal, Linda Baker Bogue ’68 noted Janet Masterton ’70’s uncertainty about the genesis of this assignment. She responded: “I happen to know how this assignment came about, thanks to a tale told out of school (so to speak) by my mother, Joan Baker.

“Opening day Friday was all about orientation and eying each other (boys and girls, new teachers) with a mix of excitement and wariness; a ribbon cutting, ease into the new school and new year sort of day. George Packard was Chair of the merged English Department and, as with the newly combined faculty in general, things were —shall we just say — unsettled. Homework was not given for that opening weekend, except by the English Department, which began as it had historically (at least at Miss Fine’s) and intended to continue every weekend: Mr. Packard announced at his opening department meeting that some sort of composition was to be assigned for each grade and section. There was some grumbling among the teachers about having to come up with an assignment so Mr. Packard moved on, saying that by the end of the meeting, he would come up with one assignment that could be given to the entire school. And there you have it: write a story (or poem / essay / philosophical rumination, whatever) titled, Woodchuck in the Road.”

Margery Cuyler is moving faster than the energizer bunny in producing more children’s books for her fans. Her latest, The Little Fire Truck, is scheduled for an October release, as a companion piece to some of her other books, including The Little School Bus, and The Little Dump Truck. Margery said for her research she

Margery Cuyler ’66’s newest book I got a wonderful letter from Christine Clark Kerr, who attended MFS with our class from K-7. Her last year at Miss Fine’s was in 1961. She fondly remembers Katherine Becker, Margery Cuyler, Kirsty Pollard, Dale Marzoni, Hope Rose and Galey Bissell (they weren’t married then, so I am only using maiden names!) Christine graduated from Douglass, taught high school for two years, and then decided to get her MS from Penn State as a teaching assistant. From there she went onto Dartmouth College in 1973 to teach and coach, primarily tennis for 26 years. (Hey, we could have used you Christine on our varsity tennis team with Mrs. Corlette!). Christine wrote, “Starting in 1999, I worked for Lochearn Camp for Girls in Fairlee, VT, helping to hire staff for the summers. In 2005, I decided that I was ready for a 9-5 job, so moved into Executive Administration, followed by my present job at the Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center here in Lebanon, New Hampshire, which is where I am today.

“I have been married twice; have a son, Tyler, who lives close by with his wife Kristin and their one-year-old little girl. My father passed away in 2013 at 98 years old, and my mother is almost 98, residing in assisted living in Lawrenceville. My sister, Abi, lives in Washington Crossing, and I have another sister in Charleston, SC. Being outside and active is my ‘thing,’ so I play lots of tennis, run and road bike. I still get home every three or so months to see my mom and sister. And WOW, has Princeton changed.” Thanks Christine for bringing us all up to date on all you’ve been up to! Katherine Becker wrote that she just completed

attending the summer session of The Osher Lifelong Learning Institute. The Institute is a part of the University of North CarolinaAshville. “It’s so engaging being in these classes, the instructors really, really cool as they are our peers! Learning just gets better and better. Although my processing speed has slowed down somewhat, who knew how much I would learn to love, love, love sitting in a classroom. I think PDS really gave us a love of lifelong learning.”

I read in one of the recent PDS Journals that Nancy Smoyer MFS ’61 had published a book on her experiences working for the Red Cross in Vietnam during the war. The Red Cross Supplemental Recreation Activities Overseas (SRAO) program staff were known informally as Red Cross recreation workers. But they were better known as “The Donut Dollies.” The name of Nancy’s book is Donut Dollies in Vietnam: Baby Blue Dresses & OD Green. (Chopper Books publisher). Nancy served from 1967-68 in Vietnam as a Donut Dolly, and was stationed on many of the big U.S bases, forward landing zones and fire bases. Her book is told through her letters home to her family, photographs and her memoirs. I, of course, ordered the book and just completed reading it. Congratulations Nancy on a poignant memoir, and for bringing your own words to help others know about the experience of Vietnam. I especially wanted to read your book as Ken Burns’ “Vietnam Series” is starting on PBS in the fall. I would highly recommend reading Nancy’s book!

Finally, I am very sad to report that my mother Mary (Randy) Fitz Randolph Hobler passed away on May 26 of this year. She was 94 years old. Our whole family was with her during her month-long hospice. Her life was filled with so many accomplishments from being an author (three books on Princeton, and a history of the Present Day Club), a painter, a career counselor with the Professional Roster for 18 years, (she received her master’s degree when she was 50) a handwriting expert, a builder of doll houses, a faithful reader of her daughters’ columns in the PDS Journal, and finally a lover of chocolate and all things British, and always proud of her family. We miss her so much. She is survived by her husband of 73 years, Herbert Hobler, her son, Randy Hobler PCD ’61, and daughters Mary Hobler Hyson PDS ’68, and Nancy Hobler PDS ’74.

Nathalie Warren was married in front of Phoebe’s sculpture, entitled “Gate,” which is installed at the bottom of the hay meadows at the Grapevine Ranch. dinner in Colross was certainly a highlight, as was breakfast at PJ’s Pancake House on Sunday morning.

It was great to see everyone from our class and other classes who attended!

Several of our classmates shared their thoughts about reunion. Woody wrote: “It was wonderful being able to catch up with our returning classmates this past May. We all have aged, I believe, quite gracefully, and even though we have had interesting life experiences, we hadn’t changed much since PDS 50 years ago.

“My most exciting news since then was that I received the best birthday present ever. My daughter, Sara ’96, gave me a granddaughter, Comley Camille Springer, 8 lbs. 11 oz. and 23 inches. I haven’t seen since her first week when I returned to Maine, but will be seeing her next week. I receive daily pictures or videos, but that’s not the same as holding and hearing her in person.” Woody wrote that Carolyn Johnson Walton has moved to Deer Isle, Maine permanently and she’s seen her once or twice. “She does beautiful plein d’air paintings.”

I spent a wonderful time in Wellesley, MA at Jo Schlossberg McConaghy’s house, then Princeton for the reunion, and then NYC. Perfect! It was so nice to see my friends again. I’m sure I won’t wait another 10 years to come back!”

Pam Erickson MacConnell wrote: “Reunion was one of the greatest weekends of my life, reliving the wonderful times when I was at Miss Fine’s School and PDS. I was so happy to share this weekend with my daughter, Sarah, as she has grown up listening to many stories from me about ‘the wonderful school I went to.’ I loved seeing a number of classmates, rekindling old friendships and making some new ones. I loved hearing about the varied lives of my classmates and feeling confident that most of us are strong, independent women who have made a difference during our 50 years since graduation. Blessings to all who were there and even more blessings to those who didn’t come or have left us too soon. “At our luncheon, Headmaster Paul Stellato said something that resonated so strongly with me. ‘We teach our students to be brave and kind and ambitious.’ As he said it, my daughter raised her glass to me and said, ‘That’s truly how you have lived your life.’ Thank you to the teachers at MFS and PDS for building a fire in me that still burns brightly. Semper Luceat.”

From Mary: News of classmates was a mix of sorrow and joy. In June, Ann Wiley ’70 sent me an obit for Libet Johnson, who was in our class at Miss Fine’s, but never went to PDS. The New York Times obit was wonderfully written and so I shall take excerpts from that and invite you to read it in full. The obit was in the Tuesday, June 13 issue. She was “a champion dressage rider and photographer. … she left her studies at Sarah Lawrence College to explore the world… including becoming the proprietor at Blue Hill Inn in Maine … and opening a folk art gallery in New York … Along with her role as a mother, Libet’s philanthropic endeavors were her greatest source of inspiration and expression…She was so affected by the plight of the orphaned children in Cambodia that she set about creating an organization, Sovann Komar, (or Golden Children). .. The original children taken are now healthy, thriving teenagers… As her Alzheimer’s disease robbed her of her ability to travel, one of Libet’s regrets was not being able to visit Sovann Komar one last time to say goodbye.

My good old pal Rick Ross always helps out when I am short on news. He wrote: “We are off to Provence (August) and the Riviera, repeating our trip of same time last year. Judy revels in her new found leisure time (teaching English and work/life skills to women in Elizabeth, NJ taking Spanish lessons, hot yoga and golf ). I am considering retirement, especially on magnificent days like today (August 16), but work remains a welcome challenge and a reasonable diversion. The presence of the President has been a sometime annoyance — the Secret Service agents and municipal police are great, but the NJ State Police are mostly impossible. The place is starting to feel like a military base in a hostile territory on some days when more than 100 agents are crawling over the grounds. We will speak with him, but now only when spoken to.” Hope you have a wonderful vacation!

Holding the newest grandson of Mary Hobler Hyson ’68 is her daughter, Katie Hyson. Peter’s proud parents are Natasha and David Hyson, Mary’s son News on the Hyson front is a mixed bag. My mother, at almost 95, passed away at the end of May, after eight years of back pain. We brought hospice in and within two weeks she was gone. She had a rich life; one of her great satisfactions was a monthly newsletter for Stonebridge (the retirement community in Skillman, NJ) that she created between 2004 to 2015. She also found pleasure in her self-published books on Princeton streets, family histories, along with her paintings, and building of doll houses. Phew! Dad just moved into an assisted living apartment in the main section of the building.

And so, as the sun sets, I bid you all a fond adieu. See you at our 50th in May, 2018!!

So, I’m just starting to enjoy it! I enrolled in classes, starting in October (Oxford Seminars) to become ‘certified’ as an instructor to teach English as a Second Language (ESL). I hope to teach English in either Costa Rica, Columbia, or Thailand. That’s all for now. All the best to my fellow classmates.” Bill Chalverus sent a photo of his wife Karen, three daughters and two grandsons who all showed up for his retirement from the field of Cardiovascular Perfusion in Albuquerque. He wrote,” After 35 years of call and having to manage my time carefully I can now fly fish, play guitar, and enjoy our neighborhood without interruption. We’ve enjoyed music festivals in Colorado, watched the eclipse from Chaco Canyon and we are also lucky to be able to visit these girls in Friday Harbor, WA, Phoenix, and southern Spain. I still thoroughly enjoy returning to Princeton to visit my mom, who is 94 and resides at Windrows, and my brother, Peter, and his wife Cathy. I feel very fortunate to still be active and have so much to look forward to and do here in New Mexico. Lastly classmates, feel free to contact and visit

us when traveling in the southwest. Mi casa.... Bill Chalverus 1901 Morningside N.E., Albuquerque, NM 87110 phone: 505-604-3922.” Barbara Thomsen Kerckhoff wrote that she enjoyed many visits with Bertina Bleicher Norford and her husband Les while he was on sabbatical for six months at Stanford University, where Barbara’s husband Steve is a math professor. (Les is in architecture at MIT). She wrote, “It was wonderful to be able to renew a friendship that started more than fifty years ago! Bertina and I met for walks, hikes, an occasional meal, and one memorable day for a trail ride at our beautiful county park, Wunderlich. Bertina was an accomplished horsewoman in her teens; me not so much. In fact, I had not been on a horse since I was about ten, but at her suggestion we took a trail ride together among the redwood and eucalyptus trees at Wunderlich.” Bertina Bleicher Norford followed up with her own news. “My husband and I returned home to Massachusetts in August after having spent a year away, during which we lived in Singapore for about half the time and in Palo Alto, California for half. We enjoyed both locales and were grateful to be able to take side trips to some amazing places. We especially loved the iconic opera house in Sydney, Australia; the sacred monkey forest in Bali, Indonesia; the Dragon’s Back hiking trail in Hong Kong; the golden stupas in Bagan, Myanmar; gushing waterfalls at Yosemite National Park; the lush Olympic National Park in Washington state (while visiting our son); and stunning cliffs over fjords near Stavanger, Norway (while visiting our daughter). One of the best things about our time away was getting reacquainted with Barbara Thomsen Kerckhoff and meeting her husband Steve when we were renting a house (with orange and lemon trees!) in Palo Alto. As she mentioned, we had some fun times together. The area around Stanford is more beautiful than I had expected, and the San Andreas fault less scary. We hope to get back someday.” Blair Lee wrote, “Brita is now 28, having obtained her master’s at LSE, is working in London at a think tank doing political and social policy research. Lucian, now 24, lives with me in Manhattan and is studying some incomprehensible computer stuff at NYU. I continue to do therapy in a mental health clinic in Harlem. I have been there 38 years. I just tell people I started there when I was 12. Love to all!”

Now, (at 95) he can walk the halls without any worries about the weather! And on the other side of Hyson news is that we now have five grandsons, Peter Aleksander Hyson. He’s beautiful, of course; we are all thrilled.

Bertina Bleicher Norford ’69 (left) and Barbara Thomsen Kerckhoff ’69 on a trail ride together in California As most of us are dealing with the loss of our parents or coping with their health issues I am reminded that for many of us, it is our PDS classmates who have known us most of our lives. I am thankful for all your heartfelt words on the passing of my mother this past February and especially to Bob Rathauser and his wife Debbie for always having a place to refresh and feel their love during my many visits north. I also want to share that seeing Bebe’s face at mom’s funeral lightened my burden. I trust that each of you share this support and concern for one another and will try to make our fiftieth reunion a priority. My home on Isle of Palms, SC is nearly completed and as I see more and more of you are venturing into retirement, I hope you will include me in your travels.

“I learned that Taylor Chambers passed away in February. As he was my oldest friend, I thought I might share some of my many memories of him.

“Taylor and I grew up together. Both of our families shared a love of horses. Our mothers and sisters were the horse-people; Taylor and I had other interests. His father was into guns, cars, RC airplanes, and other toys, which fascinated me, while my father loved trout fishing, which became Taylor’s lifelong passion.

“Taylor had endless energy, and excellent physical coordination, which made him an expert fisherman, a good soccer player, and a good shot. We spent many happy days wandering around my family’s tree nursery with our .22 rifles, shooting rabbits and tin cans. His father gave him a little Ruger Bearcat .22 caliber six-shooter pistol. His dad also had an unusual small-bore shotgun and a miniature clay pigeon-throwing setup, sized for the limited range of the shotgun. Taylor was able to hit those little clay pigeons, in flight, with the pistol — quite amazing! FALL 2017

“When we got old enough to have driver’s licenses, Taylor followed his dad’s habit of owning sports cars... only Taylor’s were always in precarious condition. He would get one with high hopes, struggle to keep it running, and then trade it for the next one, again with the expectation that this one would be perfect. I don’t remember all of them, but I recall a Mini Cooper, and an Austin-Healy Bug-Eye Sprite. On one occasion, he arrived at our house in the Sprite just before a big blizzard, and ended up staying for three nights, as the Sprite didn’t have enough ground clearance to get out of our driveway through the snow.

“After high school, we saw less of each other. He came through Madison, Wisconsin while I was in (and out) of college there. He was adrift at that time, and ended up in Colorado, joining the Jehovah’s Witnesses. They gave him a community to be a part of, which he needed. He eventually left that group and moved back to Madison, where he worked as a finish carpenter for local builders. I extend my sympathy for their loss to his wife Cathy, and to his sister, Kim Hughes ’71, and his brother, Matt.”

“Four key investment management lessons learned over the last five years have been: (1) Never confuse genius with a bull market; (2) The future never seems to happen when it should; (3) When evaluating a company’s first public sale of stock, perception is reality; the facts, although interesting, are irrelevant; and (4) Visit a company first hand before committing funds; a Portfolio Manager’s most important tool is a good pair of shoes.”

Wendy Lawson-Johnston McNeil wrote: “I am happily ensconced in South Carolina, living full time on family property, and loving ‘Lowcountry Life.’ I spend a lot of time in the summer on the tractor mowing fields and lawns. It has been fun to learn about the timber operation here and all the wildlife management needs to sustain a balanced wildlife system. There is nothing I enjoy more than riding around on the ATV to check out what’s happening in the woods. It is a very peaceful and wholesome existence. The craziness of NY life at the museum is now a bit less frequent, but I do go up north for meetings and important events regularly. I hope that I can continue to enjoy this same life for the next five years. At 65, I am truly just where I belong. Maybe a six-month crosscountry trip in a tiny house is in the cards, too! “If I had $5M to give away I would probably donate half to the Guggenheim and then the rest doing whatever would help to bring kindness, tolerance, civility and respect back to our world. If only that was an easy task!

Tom Berger ’70 (left) with his wife in Munich at last year’s Oktoberfest beer extravaganza. (The large man in the center was their guide for the day.) “Beer has been in my family blood for 175 years as members of the Berger family started a brewery in Pilsen, Czech Republic in 1842. It is still in operation today (Pilsner Urquell).” Tom Berger wrote: “This year marks 28 years of living and working in London. This city offers an unique package — it is simultaneously a center for finance, politics, culture and education. Additionally, it is only a 75-minute flight to our second home in the south of France. As Samuel Johnson rightly put it: ‘When a man is tired of London, he is tired of life.’ London rules! “For my first 14 years in London, I worked as a Portfolio Manager for several large fund management houses. Thereafter, I formed my own company where I hire myself out to large insurance companies as the chief investment officer (CIO). This ‘Rent-A-CIO’ business plays into the current trend toward outsourcing. Currently I am performing such a role for the world’s oldest life insurance company. “What has given me the best training as a Portfolio Manager have been my two public sector roles with two different governments: the US Treasury Department in Washington, DC and the Saudi Arabian sovereign wealth fund in Riyadh. Both government institutions were populated with the best economists and savviest investors around. JOURNAL

Not ready to pack it in yet, but when I do I am looking forward to doing what I want to do and when I want to do it. “Still returning to Princeton once a month or so to visit my 91-year-old mother. She is in Skillman at Stonebridge a continuing care retirement community.” Deebs Young and Freddy Erdman get together from time to time at Saratoga Racetrack in Saratoga NY.

Diane Erickson reported: “I stay in touch with Laurie D’Agostino Stoumen via Facebook, although more posts come from her daughter, than from Laurie. Laurie just celebrated her birthday. My memories of times with Laurie began with our first grade class! I was blessed to have such a good friend who was never sour, always sweet — and fun, with a little shared mischievousness thrown in!

“Naurene Donnelly and I reconnected via Facebook and then arranged for a visit. She came and stayed with me for about a week and we had a blast. She got to meet many of my friends in the delightful small university town where I live, DeLand. In fact, DeLand just won the contest for the number one Mainstreet in the US. Naurene is talking about retiring here. More mischief to follow with that one! “On my home front — wow, life is changing rapidly:

• I just sold my townhouse, although I will be renting it back until the end of the year.

• Official retirement is the end of this month, but I will be teaching at Stetson University two days a week for two classes. Can’t give up the students yet. Smile. • My daughter, Jessica Thomas, and her husband are expecting a little girl in December, so I am sure that I will be spending more time in Savannah.

• My art continues to give me great pleasure and I persist in Art work by Diane Erickson ’70 trying new styles and mediums.” Rebecca Bushnell (the new Chair of the PDS Board of Trustees) pointed out that Joan Williams’ new book, White Working Class, made a huge splash this year! Check it out at Amazon. Joan wrote: “On election night, I wrote an essay for Harvard Business Review that has now been read 3.7 million times, explaining the role of class in Trump’s election victory. I expanded it into my new book White Working Class: Overcoming Class Cluelessness in America, and have been working to help Democrats connect better with the white working class. My son, Nick, is starting graduate school in electrical engineering at Duke, and my daughter is beginning her legal career here in San Francisco with Outten & Goulden as a class action lawyer.”

Lew Bowers and his wife Susan recently moved into PDX Commons, a senior cohousing project that they founded four years ago. It has 27 households. “We all have our own condo units and then we share a large dining room and kitchen where we cook and eat together. It is based on building an authentic community. Check out our web page: www.Pdxcommons.com. “We also got a 10-week-old female standard poodle puppy, so we are totally engaged in training her. Actually, she is training us. “I hope to see everybody at our upcoming 50th anniversary reunion.” Linda McCandless wrote: “My brother Pete (PDS ’76 but went to Andover in ’75) and I literally bumped into Hugh Gregory last November in the parking lot behind the Marine Biological Lab (MBL) in Woods Hole, MA. We were taking Stella Polaris, our 28’ Cape Dory, out of the Eel Pond there, and Hugh was coming back from a meeting of the MBL Associates, with which he is involved. Hugh and his wife Mimi have retired to Menauhant, MA. My mom’s family, the Bradshaws, once had a house there, and it is still intact — and which Hugh showed us the next afternoon.

I am the proud mama these days of three little hoodlum rescue terriers.

“We are in the process of selling our family beach home in Bay Head, NJ. Mom recently passed at 95 and lived a glorious life. I often tell the story of her pulling into PDS to pick up Jill and me in an orange Eldorado with a helmet head hairdo horrifying all the Princeton kids even more about what it must be like in Trenton. Somehow, we Trenton kids managed to provide a diversity ticket for the little red brick school house on Great Road. I remember being told when I set up a tutoring program in Trenton that someone’s parents would not let them drive there. OMG.

“Though I was never able to have children of my own due to that heart issue, I am blessed and overjoyed to share that I have six grandchildren,13 and under, from my two great step-kids. Three are in Tampa and three in Atlanta. They call me Nonna.” It was so great to hear from classmates we haven’t heard from in a long time! Keep up the terrific work.

and we would have passed like ships at sea. Hugh said he had been in touch with Jack Kilgore, in Nantucket. I’m working still at a job I quite love, being communications director for international programs at Cornell, which allows me to travel quite extensively. As some of you know, the icing on the cake of getting old is having grandchildren, and I now have three. My two daughters live in San Diego and Haines, Alaska, which is way too far for my taste, but I am managing. The other miracle is that I won a 35-mile endurance horse race last October, at the Hector Half-Hundred in Hector, NY. Who’d have thunk? 5 hours, 20 minutes on the back of my friend’s Arab, Saqui. All I can say is — all the really fast girls must have stayed home that day. Cheers to all.”

Bill Flemer ’71 and Tom Worthington ’71 in the Boundary Waters Canoe Area

From Tom: Nina Shafran wrote, “The highlight of my summer was our family celebration of my father’s 95th birthday in NJ. It’s hard to believe that five years have passed since we celebrated his 90th (how Nina Shafran ’71 with her did I become dad on his 95th birthday five years older so quickly?!). I definitely feel lucky still to have both my parents living, and they are now great-grandparents (which means I’m now a great-aunt), as last December we welcomed the first baby born to one of my nieces (Alexandra Koerte ’00). Later in the summer, I spoke with Dan Cantor, and in reminiscing a bit about the blast we had at our class party in May 2016, we also remembered that many of us talked about having a reunion in Italy before the next official reunion at PDS. Gee — time’s a-flyin’; we’d better get the planning underway soon if we really want this to happen (whaddaya say, George?).”

Gunflint Lake (and many in between). Thanks to Bill’s excellent steerage we made safe passage of wind-whipped waters. While the canoes seem to have gotten heavier over the decades, our enjoyment of the wilderness has grown even more. It was good to spend time with my old friend, and to push ourselves a little beyond the comfortable. I hope you all find time to have one or two or more adventures in you. I look forward hearing all about them from you!

Deborah Huntington sent us this note: “My husband and I are selling our large Ditmas Park, Brooklyn home of 35 years and moving into a small apartment in Park Slope, Brooklyn. I hope to spend more time with my sons, who live in Oakland CA and Leadville CO — nice places to visit! I recently enjoyed catching up with Joan Williams ’70 and hearing more about her impressive research and activism on gender equality in the workplace. We lived across the street from each other during our school years. I hope to spend a fair amount of time on my bicycle in the coming year!”

“This was one of the nicer ‘reconnecting’ I have ever had after 44 years in education. Thanks to PDS.”

Lisa Warren reported, “My daughter, Rachel Cantlay ’13, graduated from Elon University in May and is gainfully employed as a Sales Management Trainee at Kraft-Heinz in Cincinnati, Ohio on the Kroger account team. Can you say ‘macaroni and cheese?’”

Lastly, Bill Flemer and I finally accomplished what we have been talking about for decades… reliving our youth with one more canoe adventure. As I type this we have just returned from a canoe trip into northern Minnesota’s Boundary Waters Canoe Area – where we crossed several steep, rocky, muddy, and buggy portages and canoed from Moss Lake to

Former faculty member Peter Buttenheim reported that he had lunch with John Gordon ’72 and his wife Bobbie this past summer in Vermont; it was “the first ‘live’ conversation that John and I have had since he graduated from PDS. “Both John and I are 45 years older than we were in 1972, but, as I have two PDS t-shirts, I gave one to John.

“We talked about PDS — courses, teachers, and, of course, soccer! John was one of the tri-captains when I arrived, and he was also a sensational player. As you know, he was a protégé of Andy Franz, and, when he graduated, he gave Frances and me a threelegged table. John has spent his life as a carpenter, cabinet maker, and furniture designer in Northern Vermont, and yesterday’s lunch was truly a meeting of the spirits.

From Mackenzie:

Biking, golf, sailing, reading in our spare time. We have a family book group, which meets a few times a year, whenever we all get together. That’s fun. We think this is a great time of life.

Robin Kraut Zell ’73 is making a comeback in tennis! She won a doubles tournament in June 2017 and has been selected to represent Israel in the Maccabi games which include 70 + countries. Robin played number one singles at PDS her freshman through her Robin Kraut Zell ’73 senior years. From Anne MacLeod Weeks: “We are continuing to love living in Lunenburg, Nova Scotia, where we just had the Folk Harbour Festival of music for four days concurrent with the 2017 Tall Ships visit. Next week is the Chapin Family Concert week (in honor of Harry Chapin, whose brother owns land locally), and soon we will be attending the town’s DocFest, four days of stellar documentary viewing Anne MacLeod in our historic opera house. The summer has Weeks ’73 (left) been warm, so we have on the bus to the women’s march in enjoyed the beaches and gardening. Fall is in Halifax and a fellow the air at night, though, dual citizen, each so we know it will be with hand-knit hats

good hiking weather soon. We will be spending a week in Mabou on Cape Breton Island and plan to travel to Baltimore for Christmas. We have had lots of visitors this summer from all parts of our collective pasts. I continue to work remotely with students in the college process, currently one in China and one in L’ville. I have shown my photos in three shows this summer and carry my cards in a few local venues. Our son, Jed, continues to do his advocacy work for urban biking and bike infrastructure in Baltimore. I thought often about PDS during the Folk Harbour Festival, as I attribute my love of all music to the amazing music and drama programs at PDS. Living in Canada has provided me with a chance to learn about a whole new group of musicians and the experience has been and continues to be rich. As always, if you are in the area, give me a ring. We love catching up with people and showing them our lovely, little harbour town.”

From Roger Williams: “Gina Cascone Williams and I took our grandkids, ages nine and four, on a 75-bookstore tour to promote a new picture book written by Gina and our daughter, Bryony Williams Sheppard. Around the World Right Now is a multicultural journey through the 24 time zones. Gina and Bree are now writing Around the World in Sports and Around the World at Dinner. We had a wonderful dinner with our PDS ’73 classmates Liz Pratt Amory, Ginna Vogt, Alison Ellis, and Sue Ross Cusack when we stopped in Wellesley, MA, and we saw Roger Sherman while at the Smithsonian in Washington, DC. So much fun catching up after all these years! We continue to see Carl Sturken in between his jaunts around the world promoting his new artist, Kandace Springs. As a literary agent, I’m also representing my sister, Joan C. Williams PDS ’70. She has had a big hit with her new book, White Working Class. Along with my agenting, I am now publishing books on American military history under the imprint Knox Press. I continue to sink deeper into my avocation as board secretary of the Princeton Battlefield Society and I give tours of the Ten Crucial Days Historic District. Last week I gave a tour to members of the Vintage Triumph Register; 22 Triumph roaders following me in my Jaguar through Princeton and environs seeing the sites of colonial Princeton.” Just recently, I had a chance to meet up with a few of these same people for dinner in Arlington, MA — Ginna Vogt, Allison Ellis, and Sue Ross Cusack — a gathering that stemmed from the earlier meet up with Roger and Gina Cascone Williams in Wellesley. What a nice night the four of us had. Of course, we didn’t think to take any photos! but we had a great time reminiscing about our days at PDS… so many years later… mentioned a lot of names of teachers and classmates I know I hadn’t heard in a long time. We plan to get together again so we’ll see – there might be pictures to share at some point in the future. As always, thanks for sending your news!

From Terry Ward: ”On May 15, we said goodbye to my mother, Cynthia Johnson Ward, after 88 years of active life, the last nearly nine years at the very fine Brooks Howell Home in Asheville, NC. She had been in decline for some time, and was under hospice care, so while this was a huge event for all of us, it was not a shock. My eldest brother lives in Asheville, so that’s why she was there. We celebrated Cynthia’s life in a beautiful service on 22 July at Brooks Howell. I have four siblings and all of us contributed to the service, as did six of her grandchildren. The grandkids read from my mother’s writings. She was a fine, expressive writer and also an ordained Unitarian minister. She served in the ministry for about 15 years, doing it after she and my father raised us five little rascals! One of the poems, read by her grandchild, Erica Ward, was a wonderful piece Cynthia wrote in 1988 that none of us had seen before. We’re trying to get it published — all of her writing was special, but this piece was a cut above. Anyway, it all worked out wonderfully. I thought of my mother on her birthday on 11 August and will do so often in the years to come.” From Diana Roberts: “I don’t have much fascinating news — just the simple pleasures of family and home, dogs and babies. My younger son, Ben, and his wife Beth, who live in Pittsburgh, are expecting a baby boy, their first child, any day now. My older son, Orion, and his wife Roberta have a one- and a half-year-old boy, named Sumner (my middle name and an old family name) in Boston. So my horizons will expand this fall from Maine to Boston to Pittsburgh as I help out with child care as I can. Stanley and I had a major 20th wedding anniversary party this summer, with a lobster and corn bake for 75, and three houses full of friends and family. Tons of work but tons of fun. “We’re not sure where we’re heading this winter for warmth and sun and culture. Housesitting in raw and rainy (and now terrorized) Europe has lost its appeal to me, so perhaps we’ll land in southern California, as we did for five months last year. I have two old dogs who I hate to leave more and more the more infirm they grow. And this new tug of grandchildren on my heartstrings has me thinking we may just come and go from our frigid Maine island a month or so at a time instead of pulling up stakes for the whole winter. Time will tell. We never really make a plan until early December — apparently we enjoy the unknown!” From Jill Goldman: “I do not have news, but I have enjoyed our last two reunions and have been lucky enough to see Evelyn, Annie, and Palmer occasionally. In my mind, you all look 18, and you always will.”

From Beth Ross: “Things have been pretty topsy-turvy these past nine months or so in my world, in the world-at-large, but I have faith

that this too shall pass... Undisputed highlights include two wonderfully satisfying and fulfilling weekends with Trina Kassler, one in Colorado for Libby’s memorial service, and the other in Massachusetts. And also there was the dinner date with Ted Dowey, Ted Thomas, Meriel Burtle Lindley and her incomparable wife Ellen. Being with PDS classmates gives me a strong sense of well-being.

A school exterior designed by Fran Treves ’74 From Fran Treves: “I will be approaching some milestones next year in 2018: I have been a resident in 9 Adams Drive Princeton for 45 years, less 16 years attributed to stints in NYC, Pittsburgh, and Kingston NJ for college, transitions, etc.; Cindy and I will be married for 25 years next June; I will have been a licensed architect for 30 years next July; and I will reach my eligible retirement at the New Jersey Schools Development Authority in January. “Then there are a few milestones to look forward the following year in 2019: Plan to be at the 45th year reunion at PDS; it will be my 40th reunion as a graduate from the College of Fine Arts School of Architecture of CarnegieMellon University; will have been working at the NJSDA for 10 years; my son, Michael, will graduate from NYU Law, and my second son, Andrew, will graduate from Ithaca College, Park School of Communications.

“Not sure what I can say for all this passage of time: last summer my sons did an abbreviated ‘grand tour’ and visited London, Paris, Venice, Turin, Florence. and Rome, where I met them on the Italian part of their journey to go hiking, with them and my brother George Treves ’71, to a much diminished glacial lake due to global warming at the foot of Monte Bianco, and another still pristine lake at the base of the Matterhorn. We then stayed at the B&B Villa Santa Brigida of Pinerolo, Italy, an ancestral

property once owned by the Treves, and then dropped down to the Rome region to stay at my brother and sister’s farm, Casale Sonnino, outside of Frascati. This summer I returned with the family to the lakes region of NH. where we once owned a property on Pleasant Lake in New London, hiked Mount Kearsarge, kayaked, and fished on Kezer Lake.

Class Notes

1974

As an architect, I am currently completing a kitchen, breezeway alteration and a new garage addition. And at the NJSDA, all seven schools that I had the lead design role in designing their exteriors will be opening their doors this fall to the neediest of students of the Abbott districts and, I hope, will have inspired them to reach for academic excellence.”

I, Polly White made my semi-annual trek to Princeton this summer, where I had the opportunity to reconnect with Lori Volpe. The two of us connected, via Facebook, this year. I did share with her that I would be in Princeton in July, if she was available to visit. She said yes, and we had a wonderful visit. We had not seen each other since we both graduated from PDS, but we recognized each other right away. We had a wonderful conversation sharing what we had each been up to over the past 40 years. We will definitely be seeing each other again in the future. Thank you Lori! It was wonderful to see you. Also while I was in the Princeton area I met with both Palmer Uhl and Evelyn Turner Counts. As always, we had a wonderful visit and had the opportunity to catch up with each other. Unfortunately, I did not take a photo but I will certainly take a photo next time. I have known Evelyn since we were both students at Valley Road School. Valley Road is no longer a middle school but then it has been a long time since junior high/middle school.

Class Notes

From Yuki: For many of the Class of 1975, 2017 marks a two-digit turning of the odometer.

Kip Herrick O’Brien celebrated her 60th birthday at a surprise party hosted by her daughter. Kip wrote: “Now that my kids are up and out of the house, I am living in Greenwich, CT. My interior design business continues to thrive and keep me busy! My daughter moved to San Francisco a few months ago to work for Square, and I’m looking forward to going out to visit her for Thanksgiving. My son is in the Peace Corps and is stationed in Palonne, Ukraine. He’s been there a year and I’m so excited to spend a week traveling with him this summer! I have been doing a lot of bicycling. It seems like staying in shape is getting harder and harder!!”

Princeton was the setting for Caron Cadle’s 60th birthday, which she celebrated with her husband Ralf, her mother and some close friends, including Sally Wright. Caron wrote: “This has turned out to be one of those watershed years. Ralf, now a full professor, is on sabbatical. Just before he left to give a paper at a conference in Brazil, we found, by sheer serendipity, an apartment in one of the very few non-student-oriented condo buildings in downtown Gainesville: kitty-corner to the Hippodrome State Theatre and art movie house, and a block away from the city’s best farmer’s market every Wednesday! We signed the papers on our purchase of the unit the day after he returned from Brazil and the day before we flew to Princeton for my birthday. Now to downsize 3200 square feet worth of stuff accumulated in 23 years into the 1860 square feet.

“On top of this, we’ve found an apartment we like in Berlin, where we intend to spend increasing amounts of time, especially once Ralf retires. We [also] signed that lease, so the end of October will be dedicated to furnishing that place! We hope to move into our new place in Gainesville in early 2018, when the renovations are done. That gives us three to four months to dump a huge amount of possessions, which won’t be easy, but is necessary. As we have no children and two much-loved mothers who need time and attention, it’s time to pare down what we’re carrying so we can do what’s most needful, while we still can.

“When it comes to PDS memories,” Caron wrote from Cuzco, where she and Ralf took her godchildren, “the teachers whose memories sticks with me most are Wes McCaughan (still hanging in there at 92), Pierre Mali, Steve Lawrence, Anne Shepherd, Gary Lott, Parry Jones, Frank Jacobson, Miss Holben, Mlle. Noel, Dan Skvir, and Jan Baker (the only person who believed I might someday make an athlete, despite my utter lack of coordination and aptitude!). One thing I remember very well is our trip to Russia in the spring of 1975, with Mr. Skvir, my mom, and, from the class of ’75, Bill McClellan, Alison Hughes, Ralph Brown, Bill Plapinger, me and you, Yuki!” From across the ocean Anne Russell wrote that she “is still working at the American Community School of Abu Dhabi.

A favorite moment every summer is the pilgrimage to the States and seeing Kathy Burks Hackett, Molly Sword McDonough, Caroline Erdman Hare and others depending on the timing.”

Tina Pritchard will celebrate her big day in November. “I’m working hard at my job (home IV infusion RN) and renovating my home slowly but surely. My children and I were lucky enough to spend some time in NH with an old classmate, Daftdd Jones. Lots of sun, fresh air and relaxation. Hope all is well with everyone.”

Lars Selberg and Julie Sly Selberg ’74 spent his 60th at the Bronx Zoo with their kids “A throwback to earlier times when we went about twice a year. You gotta love the red pandas.” Lars and Julie visited with Philip Bensen and his wife Deirdre Ball on Skopelos in the Aegean. “A lovely six days of sun, beaches, long wine-soaked lunches at tavernas on the beach, naps, and then cocktails and bridge in the evenings. Really, I feel thoroughly cleansed. Family milestones in the past year-plus include two weddings (both my sister Ingrid’s (’68) son and daughter in Ibiza and Minnesota, respectively) and a funeral ( Julie’s mom, who died June 4 at 94!) On the lifestyle front, we love the empty nest, especially as both kids are on some type of career path and in what seem to be stable relationships. It gives us time to play music as a duo, which has replaced theater lighting as our hobby run amuck.”

Harvey Wiener and his wife Vikki celebrated his 60th birthday in February in the Turks and Caicos Islands. This past spring, Andy Franz thought to call him while in in Tampa visiting his son. “What a wonderful evening we had reminiscing and catching up. It was truly wonderful to see him and spend time. He is one of the few that made a difference in my time at PDS. I still channel him today in some of the things I do. In May, our oldest son, Seth, was married at Union Station in Washington, DC. We had no idea that there is a fabulous venue in the station. He married a Harvard Law School classmate, Carmel. They reside in DC and work for different firms. Our youngest son, Philip, is a senior internal medicine resident (and Chief Resident) in Largo, FL. He became engaged this past June to Anna, a Doctor of Pharmacy, presently working for the NIH in DC. Philip has applied for cardiology fellowships in the Northeast. He should know where he lands up this December. For Vikki and me, it’s the same. At this point in our lives, health Taken at a tavern in Neo Klima; (Left to Right) are Lars and happiness are paramount. We Selberg ’75, Philip Bensen ’75, his wife Deirdre Ball, still work: Vikki in clinical medical Julia Sly Selberg ’74, and friends of Philip and Deirdre research and me in radiology/ Lars also reported visiting a couple times with women’s health. Our rescue dachshund, Ruby, John Brinster in Princeton and hosting John in is our ‘child’ at home. Best wishes to the Class their home in Connecticut earlier this year. of 1975.” Molly Moynhan had a “huge, wonderful party” to mark her 60th. She wrote her response to our class notes while in Manchester by the Sea [Massachusetts], where she and her husband were staying in Carol Bundy’s (1976) “wonderful flat near to a gorgeous beach and lots of swims for my healing badly broken leg!” Molly plans to spend a few days in NYC where there will be a table read of a film she wrote called Harry and Claire, which is slated to start shooting in Chicago next fall. “Teaching, writing, cat wrangling; my son Luke is working

Philip Bensen wrote that he and Deirdre are spending two months on the island of Skopelos in the Sporades after finishing his first year of teaching history and global politics in Thessaloniki, Greece, at Anatolia College. “We expect this to be our swan song before heading back to our home in Patagonia in a year or two. As far as PDSers are concerned: Lars Selberg and Julie Sly Selberg just spent five days with us here on the island. And, David Beckwith and his mate Amy arrive in ten days’ time. Have not seen David since 1976!” As for PDS:

As she turns 60, Janet Quigley has been plowing through her bucket list. “Retired from the Navy (civil service), hiked the Great Wall, rode an elephant in Thailand, saw the Northern Lights in Iceland, explored Angkor Wat in Cambodia, took a houseboat down a river in France, toured islands off Hong Kong by ferry and, thinking of Parry Jones, took a summer course in history at University of Cambridge, UK and visited castles in Wales. I still live in Washington, DC and look forward to working on historic preservation, spending more time at my Bethany, DE house and seeing more of Mom in Evanston, IL. Best to all in the Class of ’75, lots of happy memories from those days.” I (Yuki) also clicked 60 on life’s odometer this year, and yes, like so many others who wrote in this round, I said good-bye to middle age far from home, above Lake Como (the one in Italy, not the Jersey Shore – though I am writing this at the Jersey Shore.) I still live in Trenton, but have entered my second year working in Princeton University’s Office of Development, where I steward major donors to the University. This involves thanking alumni for their generosity, telling them about the impact of their support, but not actually asking them for money. It has been a wonderful change from the more stressful though gratifying work of raising money for Isles’ work to improve life in impoverished neighborhoods in Trenton. I am also in my ninth year as a commissioner representing New Jersey (unpaid) on the Delaware River Joint Toll Bridge Commission, where we are plowing ahead with a big new I-95 bridge (with bike lanes – and a toll) at Scudder Falls. PDS classmates with whom I have spent time this year include Kathy Burks Hackett, Shawn Ellsworth, Bill Graff, Marita Sturken, Gay Wilmerding, and Sally Wright. Wishing our classmates health and happiness in the coming year.

Class Notes

“Certainly tons of memories about PDS days. I remember having my Greek class with Mrs. Fine in Colross — she would puff away as we discussed Homer. And speaking of puffing away, there was at least one fun time in the catwalks above the theater smoking weed with unnamed classmates. And I remember the surprise birthday party you [Yuki] threw for me. I could go on and on.”

Anne Dennison Fleming sent a note to the Alumni Office, which reported that she is “happy working in the health and wellness field, living in Duxbury, MA, with my husband Steve of 25 years. Our oldest son will graduate from Middlebury in May and our son, Chris, is a sophomore at St. Lawrence.” Well, the class of ’77 had a terrific turn-out for our FORTIETH reunion in May! A handful of folks were unable to join us because of kids’ graduations (Steve Farr and Claire Treves Brezel among them), and Carol Katz Connelly was only able to attend the first night’s festivities at Triumph, before driving up to Yale for a graduation.

Of particular note were some “long lost…” classmates who finally rejoined us, including Tamar Pachter, Jennifer Mezey, Sarah Rothrock-Rickel and Jenni Carpi! Livia Wong McCarthy was the Hostess with the Mostest for our class party on Saturday night. Her Carnegie Lake-side home was a perfect setting to reconnect after five (or 10 or 30 or 40 years), and Livia’s husband Joe, and daughter (PDS Class of 2021) and daughter’s friend made sure that the wine flowed and the food filled.

Common threads through the reunion and Kerin Lifland ’77 reconnects with Mr. Franz reconnections – I think most of us confessed we wished we had been more selfconfident in our early years (but we sure put up a good front!), and less concerned with how others saw us. We have lived interesting, full and varied lives, and for the most part, we all feel grateful for the launch that PDS gave us – with caring, motivating and supportive teachers 1977 Reunion: Alexis Arlett Kochmann, Tamar Pachter, with whom we connected.

Memorable events: The first Earth Day (1970?), French teacher Mr. Rieux shooting the Headmaster (talk about drama!), Senior Skip Day, and Watergate (not necessarily in that order).

While these teachers are all etched in our hearts (and minds), it is amazing when you consider how many students passed through their teaching lives, that they still remember us! We were gobsmacked at the resources at the school – the arts facilities are amazing! Now, first some news from those who weren’t able to trek to Princeton….Alex Zaininger is probably our farthest-flung PDS-er, living down under. He wrote, “I have been happily married for the last 25 years (Amely) and have three wonderful kids; Paula (25, London), Augustin (23, Zurich/Oxford), Louisa (21, Newcastle). Amely and I are empty-nesters and love to have visitors. We have lots of room and live close to the center of Sydney. It’s not as long a trip as you think! Let us know if you are in the neighborhood and I’ll ‘throw some shrimp on the barbie’(we actually don’t say that here!). The other thing that I would like to share is that as a prostate cancer ‘survivor,’ I want to encourage all my male classmates and all the spouses of my female classmates to get checked regularly. We are in the age where we are most susceptible. Prostate cancer kills more men than breast cancer kills women. The best prevention is to see your GP regularly. Don’t be squeamish! It may save your life.” Thanks for the caring words, Alex, and glad you’re on the other side of your health scare. Sarah Williams Goldhagen is an architecture critic and author with a new highly-acclaimed JOURNAL

1977 Reunion: Julia Penick Garry, Tamar Pachter, Jenni Carpi Moller, Jennifer Mezey, Bill Neuenschwander and Sarah Rothrock-Rickel book out, Welcome to your World: How the Built Environment Shapes our Lives. It sounds like a great book, and she reported it is written for the lay-person audience. Sarah is currently travelling around the world, and has a terrific blog on her travels: coordinatinggoldhagens.com.

Claire Treves Brezel’s daughter, Emma, graduated from Kenyon the same weekend as the PDS reunion. But she did share the following: “I am proud of the fact that we (my brother, George ’71, and I) have managed to hold on to our family home/vineyard/ olive groves, Casale Sonnino, located outside of Rome. It’s a labor of love. We are fifth generation owners – our great, great uncles bought the land in 1883 and the farmhouse (“Casale”) in 1900. The house made it through two world wars and the family permanently relocating to the US post WWII. George and I inherited the property from our mom after she passed away in May 2009. We operate the villa as a B&B/villa rental and we have our own web site: www.casalesonnino.com. We also produce extra virgin olive oil from our 728 olive trees; I import this oil to the US and sell it to family, friends and regular customers. The one cool thing that I get to do is be at the Casale every October, participating in the Olive Harvest. I gather olives with the crew and go to the mill for the pressings that sometimes run into the early hours of the morning. I taste the extra virgin olive oil at its freshest, right when it comes out. I’ve taken part one (out of three) of an olive oil sommelier course and I’m planning to take parts two and three September.”

Clooie Sherman lives in Seattle, and runs her own business “Handy Admin, Office Nerd for Hire,” and sings in the Seattle Women’s Chorus. She added, “My family is doing well, and although we are across the country from one another, we get together regularly. My niece (Davis 75’s daughter) is a journalist working for the BBC, which seems like an important line of work these days! She got married last fall. My nephew (Davis’s son) is getting his PhD in Astrophysics in just a few weeks! I’m very happy to be celebrating 17 years with my partner Deborah Stanfill. She is an acupuncturist and runs her own practice out of our house. We have a great life together! Life is good, and I feel very fortunate!”

Glenn Bevensee lives in Bensalem, PA. After working as a paramedic for years, he worked as a police officer and local fire company volunteer. He has four grandsons, and four stepgrandkids. Glenn lost his second wife to cancer, but is now happily re-married. After retiring from the police force in 2003, he has spent his time as an artist, painting miniatures, caring for rescued animals, and cooking. Harold Tanner is a college professor of Chinese History, and lives in Denton, TX. He shared, “Career has been not-too-shabby — my most recent two books are actually pretty readable, if you’re interested in the fall of Chiang Kai-shek and the Chinese Community Party’s rise to power and the way in which the US and Chinese history intersect in that story. Family – better than I deserve. Nostalgia — as time goes on and I interact with some of you on FB, I realize how much more in common I have with you than I thought…you are all quite a remarkable group of people.”

Ted Stabler has recently relocated to Bayfield, CO. He wrote, “Martha and I have fostered and adopted out 300 homeless kittens, including many ‘bottle babies’ and ferals. And we’ve adopted five dogs and four cats ourselves.” As for those who were able to come to the reunion, apologies if I mis-remembered anything (very likely, given my senior brain, and the flood of conversations at the reunion!):

Becky Hafitz Hull lives in Bernardsville, NJ and has twins (rising sophomores) at college. She consulted and started a networking group for women — 6 states etc...which she sold at beginning of 2015. Now she does small business consulting for a non-profit in Newark. She also does college guidance and college prep on the side,which she loves because it keeps her connected to kids. Tamar Pachter lives in San Francisco with her partner of 30 years, Stacey Hawver. Tamar has two kids: Freda, 23, graduated from Colorado College last year and is finishing up a fellowship and moving to Washington, DC to look for work on the Hill. Jacob is a junior at U.C. San Diego, where he is studying chemistry. Tamar is a supervisor at the California Attorney General’s Office, where her team works on high stakes constitutional litigation. (Give’em hell, Tamar!!)

Fifi Laughlin has been an Episcopal rector at the same church in Rumson, NJ for 17 years! On a sad note, Fifi shared that our classmate and her good friend Annette Compton recently died.

Quinn McCord lives in Milton, DE, where is the Executive Chef at Dover Downs Hotel and Casino. Quinn has had a long and storied career chef-ing at casinos all over the country.

George Zoukee currently lives in Las Vegas, but expects to relocate back to New Hampshire soon (it may have even happened by the time this goes to print!). George had a long career in public sector finance in New Hampshire, financing almost every new or renovated school and library in the state, along with most other public projects. He created an innovative method of financing new schools and worked at saving clients millions and millions of taxpayers’ money. RIGHT ON! Jenn Weiss is married with two grown children, Max, 27, and Anna, 23, and lives in North Carolina. Jenn spent thirteen years as a progressive in the NC House of Representatives (appointed and then re-elected SIX times!), where she championed safety and health issues for children and seniors, and was a primary sponsor of the Smoke-free Restaurants and Bars law. In November of last year, she became the Executive Director of The Hope Center at Pullen in Raleigh, where she connects young people who aged out of foster care with the resources and support they need for a successful transition to adulthood. It was great to see Jenni Carpi Moller, who now lives in Newtown Square, PA. Her eldest daughter is following in her footsteps to Yale this fall, and she has twins right behind!

Simeon Hutner and Russell Haitch are brave souls who are each later-in-life fathers for the first time. It seems to be keeping them younger and on their toes! Simeon is a wonderful documentary film-maker, living in Brooklyn. Russell is a minister living in Richmond, IN. Alexis Arlett Kochman’s son, Nick, just graduated from Princeton High and is starting at Syracuse this fall. Alexis is also playing competitive tennis.

Mathieu Roberts works in documentary films. Recently, he did specialty camera work for a film called, God Knows Where I Am. Another film, which you may have seen, American Dream, won an Academy Award in 1991. Mathieu also worked with Richard Avedon on his project, In the American West. He has worked on many social conscious documentaries, including one on land mine victims in Cambodia, another on the Supreme Court and the concept of Original Intent that Mathieu produced and directed. As for me, my husband Doug and I just left our only daughter at Connecticut College. I’m completing an online certificate course in college counseling, and we’re preparing to relocate back to Europe sometime in 2018. In the meantime, we still love our lives in Portland, OR.

My husband and I will be ‘empty nesters’ so I will know what that means, as I see many of you refer to it. We will keep busy with his work, my volunteering and definitely traveling, (which grew in me as we traveled so many summers with Senor and Mrs. Cuesta at PDS). On a sad note, I received a letter from Muna Shehadi back in December letting me know that Mrs. Shehadi (Allison), had passed away. Every year we were in touch since I graduated from PDS, and it was so lovely hearing from her, (I could actually hear her soft voice writing those words). She was an inspiration in my life and I think of her often. Thank you Mrs. Shehadi for the love you gave me. Please give my mom and dad a kiss from me. I wish you and they had met Jovan.”

So after the concert, I waited around with my (annoyed!) husband and our friends and kind of sabotaged Stamos for an autograph, (for my daughter), as he was being driven by a golf cart back to his limo.

a uniquely surprising and necessary way. I’m now looking to get back into the field of social work, specifically working with families who have someone with dementia. My youngest, Cameron (18), graduated from high school this past spring. He, and his sister, Keelin (20), will be heading to my late husband’s former workplace where he was a librarian — Oakland University. It’s a beautiful and local university, close enough to go up and have a walk or dinner together, but far enough away that they feel independent. My oldest, Avery (23), is going to school part-time and working part-time, and is interested in creative writing. I get to see him as much as a 23-year-old allows. I’m excited that he and I, along with some of his friends, will be attending GenCon in Indianapolis this August...it’s a gaming conference and my first time going. The blessing and gift in losing someone, if there is one, is that you see immediately what and who is and isn’t important and worth keeping in your life. The circle becomes small, but it is golden. And the time with those you love is precious and treated mindfully.”

This was such a special location since we love to ride our bikes along the canal and river. We delayed our honeymoon until June when we traveled to Italy for a week staying along the Amalfi Coast at the most beautiful hotel in Sorrento, as well as a few days in Rome. We continued with a spectacular cruise from Rome to Athens enjoying lovely ports in Italy and in Greece. The honeymoon was everything we dreamed it could be and more, and we hope to keep the honeymoon going…Peter and I feel so fortunate and unbelievably happy to be sharing our lives together.” Alice Lee Groton wrote: “I guess the biggest milestone this year for me is having both daughters now graduated from college!

It is with a heavy heart that we report that we have lost three of our classmates this year. In April, Vic Kuzmicz passed away suddenly of a heart attack. In June, Vicki Howard also died of an apparent heart attack. And in July, Debbie Ford Cowell passed away after a long struggle with cancer. We send our deepest heartfelt condolences to the families and friends of Vic, Vicki, and Debbie. Too many, too soon…

Erica Frank: “I got the news about Vicki, Debbie, and Vic in the middle of a meeting in Ghana, and felt such a flood of sadness across so many miles and decades for the loss of these dear friends. It’s astonishing to simultaneously be old enough for this to be happening, while still feeling there’s so much more I want to accomplish. Lots of happiness to report, though.

Vance Camisa is still working and playing in Philadelphia: “I continue as in-house counsel with Merck (in my 22nd year there). My wife Ruth and I have recently relocated to Philadelphia, where we bought a condominium in Center City. We’ve been working on decorating and furnishing the place all in Art Deco style (which, not coincidentally, aligns with my musical tastes). I have been playing piano a good deal in and around Philadelphia, the Lehigh Valley, and Central NJ with my own quartet, The Vance Camisa Jazz Quartet, and as a sideman with both the Blackbird Society Orchestra and the jazz quintet Four Plus One. My older daughter, Holly, just got engaged, and she and her fiancé (who, incidentally, is my drummer – I introduced them!) are to be married in April. My younger daughter, Sydney, will be attending Villanova University in the fall, studying for a Master’s Degree in Public Administration.” John Hall popped up on the radar screen, emailing from the wild blue yonder: “I am on a flight from Honolulu to Tokyo on my way back to Hong Kong after a delightful vacation on Kauai in Hawaii, where we have a home. I have been in Asia for nearly five years, based in HK with JPMorgan as an investment banker (23 years running) and live in Shanghai with my wife May and daughter, Gemma. I am a ‘trailing spouse,’ given we moved to China for May’s work in Shanghai, where she established NYU’s Shanghai campus and now works for Shanghai Tech, which aspires to be the Stanford and MIT of China, as the Dean of the School of Entrepreneurship and Management. I travel extensively across Asia and, as a result, am home only on weekends. We live in a traditional lane house (nearly 100 years old) in the French Concession in Puxi, the old city in Shanghai. May and Gemma are bi-lingual but I hopelessly am not, which drives them crazy. We bike through-out the French Concession and pay for everything with either WeChatPay or Alipay using our phones. It is an interesting expat existence.” From Nick Donath: “I saw Geoff George in St. Paul, MN in July.

Suzanne Lengyel had an exciting summer planned, with tons of tennis, ocean swims (and, hopefully, getting up on a surfboard this summer!), collecting fun vintage stuff at yard sales, a trip to Charlevoix, MI in July, and another one to Sante Fe/White Sands National Park/Silver City, NM in September for her anniversary, and as much seafood and Rosé as possible!

Jonathan Leaf had another play presented in the spring in New York. Entitled Deconstruction, it is a three-character drama about the aborted romance between the novelist Mary McCarthy, the future academic Paul de Man, and McCarthy’s best friend, Hannah Arendt. Although it was a small production, he received a series of rave reviews, including in such highbrow publications as National Review and The New Criterion, and coverage in various organs of culture as far as Brazil. They are hoping to do another staging of the play next year in either Los Angeles or Dallas. He also just had a first presentation of another of his plays in Paris (in French translation), and hopes to see that up and running there next year. “More to follow on other productions and HI to everyone!” Lynne Faden Byrne lives in Darien CT with her husband Lloyd Byrne and their four sons (Nick, 18; Will, 16; Alex, 14; and Ben, 11). The boys attend Greens Farms Academy and New Canaan Country School (where she is a trustee) and are all into travel ice hockey, lacrosse and tennis so they are busy to say the least! She is in graduate school at Teachers College, Columbia, working towards her master’s in psychological counseling. She attends part-time and is half way through the program. “In addition to running and hiking the NH 48 with my family, my passion project is nature photography.” She’s had several solo shows, the most recent of which was this past winter (Her work can be viewed at www.lynnebyrnephotography.com). This summer she will be doing college visits, lax tournaments, golf camp, a little time on Nantucket, and a month up at their house on Squam Lake in NH. “Planning to enjoy summer while it lasts!” Victoria Chen doesn’t think she’s sent in a note since she married her husband Jeffrey Guild.

From 2012-14, she served as Chair of the Department of Industrial, Manufacturing, & Systems Engineering, and in 2014, she was appointed Director of Student & Faculty Research Development. In August, her family will vacation at Walt Disney World, where they will meet up with her sister and brother-in-law, Nancy (PDS ’78) and Stephen Cavanaugh.

Will Blechman Meyerhofer put out another book (He’s now penned four, count ‘em FOUR masterworks.) The latest is a sequel. Of course, by now you’ve all read his classic, Way Worse Than Being a Dentist...so here’s STILL Way Worse Than Being a Dentist to keep you entertained. Available wherever fine books are sold (including online, wherever fine ebooks are sold). In other developments, his private psychotherapy practice is flourishing — now located out of his new loft in glamorous Tribeca in downtown Manhattan (“yes, Jay-Z and Beyoncé are neighbors — they live a few blocks north of here although, oddly, haven’t had us over for drinks yet.”) A year or two ago he joined the board of directors of a jazz non-profit, The Jazz Gallery, which is a venue located in a fifth floor loft on Broadway at 27th Street. So he’s spending all his time hanging out with jazz musicians and hearing masses of improvised music. They feature live performances just about every week, usually four nights just about every week, two sets per night. Come join him, “dear former classmates...and we can catch up and tap our toes, thereby killing two birds with one stone.” “Will Meyerhofer, JD LCSW-R Read the People’s Therapist: www.thepeoplestherapist.com

It’s only taken us ten years to finally initiate the work. To escape, the four of us recently visited Germany and the UK, where I was able to meet up with Chris Moody in Bristol, where he works. But apparently I was not the first or even the second PDS alumnus to visit him this summer, having followed Dawn Feldman Fukuda and Heather Hunter Smith ’89. I am happy to report that he is the same jovial guy we all knew and loved during that one semester he spent on our side of the pond just a few short years ago, and which is why he is surely in his element in marketing. I’ve also visited with Marc in DC and seen Ariana at Alumni Board meetings. In career news, I now work in finance for an engineering consulting firm, Tetra Tech, and in my military life, the Army Reserves has remarkably found me fit to be promoted to Colonel.”

A PDS Love Story Rebecca Dickson and Ethan Moeller were married on October 7, 2017. On their wedding page they wrote: “Ours is a story that makes good on the age-old advice your grandmother always gave — ‘you should go because you never know who will be there.’

“We were in the same class at PDS, but even in a class of only 85 people, we really didn’t know each other. The only time we seemed to be in close proximity was in side-by-side photos in our senior yearbook. We have a couple of shared memories, but essentially, we were strangers. “We both showed up at our 25th reunion, at the insistence of our friends, yet neither of us was particularly excited about it. Ethan didn’t even plan to stay for the Saturday night class party.

“But at the afternoon picnic on campus, we happened to sit together, and after talking for a while, we realized the entire tent had cleared out and we were alone. So under the guise of ‘finding our friends,’ we walked the school’s halls, catching up on the last 25 years. After exchanging numbers, we said good-bye, and to get a typical high school gossipy response from friends, Rebecca said to Edith Roberts Baronian and Arielle Miller Levitan, ‘maybe I’ll marry Ethan Moeller.’ Having actually known Ethan back in the day and talking to him at every other reunion we’d also been at together, they thought it was a great idea.

“That night, Ethan stayed for the class party after all, hung around late-night at the Tap Room with the girls, and we went out in NYC three nights later. “The rest is happy history...”

Chris Varone sent news: “I don’t think I’ve ever written to the PDS Journal before, so I guess a quick recap of what has happened in my life since graduating is in order. After graduating from PDS, I spent the next five years obtaining my Bachelor of Architecture from Virginia Tech. After five years of living in Blacksburg, Virginia, I needed a break from southern living and headed to the Midwest. In 1996, I started working for Skidmore, Owings and Merrill (SOM) in Chicago. SOM is one of the largest multi-discipline architecture firms in the world. During my time in Chicago, I got to work and learn from the same architects and engineers who designed the Sears Tower and John Hancock Building. It was a great learning experience and I made some life-long friends and colleagues. During my time in Chicago, I also met my beautiful wife Sasha who coincidentally graduated from Virginia Tech (also from the School of Architecture) a few years after I did. “In 2003, after one too many Chicago winters (seriously, it was snowing in July), we decided to pack it up and move west to sunny San Diego, California. California has been wonderful. We live in a great little neighborhood called ‘North Park,’ where I’ve been volunteering as an AYSO youth soccer coach. Over the past 20 years, I’ve coached Check out Chris hundreds of players and made a lot of great Varone ’91’s archifriends. I’m still using tecture website some of Coach (Carlos) Cara’s drills.

“This past year, after 20 years of practicing architecture, my wife and I finally decided to start our own practice, Studio Varone Architecture, Inc. It’s been an incredibly fun and rewarding process. I owe my passion for architecture to Mr. Whitlock. My career path started in his sixth grade drafting class and I am forever thankful for his mentorship. Please check out our website which gives a better sense of what we do: www.studiovarone.com.

I am happy to report that I was able to get an update the good old-fashioned it’s a small world after all way!!! My sons play lacrosse with a boy whose mother just happens to be a good friend of Elissa Doyle’s whom I have been told has recently welcomed her first son with her husband and currently resides in NYC.

Kevin Sun shared that he is currently taking a gap year before going to the University of Chicago, where he will probably pursue crosscountry and track. He is currently working at a local running company, while training hard for some races before heading to California this winter. Besides that, he has devoted a lot of his time to studying, focusing primarily on financial investment and trading stocks. Taylor Smith: Over the past two weeks, has had the opportunity to explore so much of Washington, DC, and as a result, has met so many people of different backgrounds and cultures. She is very excited for her freshman year of college!

Snapshots Princeton Day School, Class of ’XX?

This photo, found by Lower School teacher Betsy Rizza and Visual Arts Department Chair and Middle School art teacher Susan Reichlin, shows a wonderful tableau of students in their ancient Greek regalia on a field trip to the iconic Princeton Battlefield. The original photo is black and white and, with little historical detail to give away specifics, looks quite timeless and as if it could have been taken of any number of our Princeton Day School classes. (Even we could eliminate a Miss Fine’s School class and Princeton Country Day class because of the mix of boys and girls.) Any guesses on which class this is? Extra points if you can identify the students in the photo! Let the games begin… Email your guesses to communications@pds.org.
