Ohanian’s ’75 Perspective on Where the 36 Efrem “Skip” Zimbalist III ’64: Pursuing U.S. Economy Has Been & Where It Is Going Passions & Following His Dreams After being inspired during his Stevenson economics class in the mid-1970s, Lee E. Ohanian ’75 was placing his first trade in the stock market at the age of 17 and knew he had found his calling. Now a UCLA professor and prominent economist, Ohanian’s opinions are sought not just by his students but also by governments, the media, and even advisors to presidential candidates.

A young entrepreneur, Efrem “Skip” Zimbalist III ’64 started his first business out of his dorm room at Harvard. Driven by passion and grounded by values, Zimbalist launched Active Interest Media in 2002, which is now the largest special-interest media company in the country. Zimbalist continues to be inspired by working with people who are not only talented and smart but love what they do.

LETTER FROM THE EDITOR

The dedication in September of the new Barrows Hall illustrated some of the best elements of Stevenson School past, present, and future. The public unveiling of this LEED Gold residence hall provided the backdrop for what many alumni say is the quintessential moment in any Stevenson experience: the authentic connection between students and faculty, or in this case, between students and alumni. The new Barrows Hall is spectacular, and it was the perfect venue to welcome back Robert Day ’61, whose lead gift inspired the building’s construction. (See story on page 22). Joining Robert were his brothers Matt Day ’63 and T.J. Day ’66; the three of them together comprise one of the most financially supportive families in Stevenson history. Also attending were members of the Stevenson Board of Trustees (more than half of whom are alumni), led by Chairman Mark Hornberger ’68, invited guests, faculty,

staff, and many of the students who now live in Barrows Hall. Stevenson President Joe Wandke recounted his conversations with Robert in 2006 about the school’s next big project, and these discussions ultimately inspired the planning, construction, and completion of Barrows Hall. Robert himself spoke about the profound impact that Dr. Thomas Barrows (as the school’s college counselor) had on him, especially during his senior year. Dr. Barrows was at Stevenson for only five years, and was the retired president of Lawrence University in Appleton, Wisconsin. “Having a retired college president was a big advantage,” says Robert, who credited Barrows with raising his sights. “He convinced me that I was capable and worthy of attending a great college.” The connection was made and its impact is still being felt more than 50 years later. The 38 students and four faculty members who live in the new facility have reaped the benefits. I asked Kaitlin Brennan ’13 to speak on their behalf. Kaitlin, a senior and head prefect for Barrows, was in the fall frenzy of heavy coursework, the beginning of college applications, and leading the girls’ golf team as their captain and #1 player. She was also nervous. Speaking in front of the entire school at assembly that morning had been easy compared to this. She knew this was important.

Kaitlin Brennan ’13, Diana Chu ’13, and Carolyn Ringer ’16, with Robert Day ’61 at the Barrows Hall Dedication

Kaitlin talked with commitment about her role in helping underclasswomen and faculty members in the building. She shared her stories of welcoming new families to campus this fall and seeing the apprehension on their faces, until they came into the Barrows common room and immediately knew they had made the right choice for the right school. Kaitlin was articulate and authentic, and her passion was recognized by all of us, including Robert Day. After the dedication, Stevenson Trustee Michael Jackson ’68, who is vice president of Student Affairs at the University of Southern California, congratulated Kaitlin and told her that USC was looking for students like her. He hoped she would consider applying.* She was stunned. At that moment her sights were raised. The connection had been made again. The story of Stevenson is a story of people profoundly influencing one another. The connections continue. Go Pirates! Jeff Clark Vice President for Advancement & Editor *Editor’s note: In his role at USC, Michael Jackson was only encouraging Kaitlin to apply and in no way was guaranteeing admission.

Here are just some of the fun responses and updates from recent alumni posts. FB Question: What was your favorite class at Stevenson?

C ON T R I BU TOR S

Any Biff Smith class... the piano, his Corgis (Borum Barkadiddy), the ties...reading Kerouac, Ginsberg, Hunter S., Tom Robbins in his “Hippies, Yuppies and Beatniks” class. Good times. — Matthew Sampson ’97

FB Question: Do you remember your first day at Stevenson and who you met? Well, it wasn’t the FIRST day — more like the third — but I met my future husband...so that worked out well... 27 years and five kids later... I’d totally do it again. Yeah First Day of School! Go Pirates! — Allison Myers Robinson ’89 I met senior prefect Vivian Sam ’97 on my first day. I admired how upbeat and positive she was given how scared I was inside to leave my family. My first close friend at Stevenson was my amazingly smart and encouraging roommate Sonya Stokes ’00. She helped me to overcome homesickness by forcing us to do laps around Wilson Dorm at 7:00 a.m. before breakfast. The ridiculousness of the situation snapped me out of my

wallowing. And she played hilarious Erma Bombeck recordings for us to fall asleep to after lights out. — Esther Tang ’00 FB Question: Where is the most unexpected place you have run into a Stevenson alumnus/a? Running into Brooks Wells ’91 while we were both in a mosh pit in a bar in downtown SF — Kevin Mahoney ’91 Was pulled over speeding in Marysville, CA. Turned out to be an alum and I got out of the ticket. Good times! — Josh Park ’00

STEVENSON STORIES

AN INTERVIEW WITH

WILL GRIFFITH ’89,

ALUMNI ASSOCIATION PRESIDENT

President Joe Wandke recently announced to alumni that Will Griffith ’89 has accepted the position as the next Stevenson Alumni Association president, to serve a three-year term. As Will begins to reacquaint himself with Stevenson, Mia Peterson ’89, director of alumni relations, sat down with Will and talked about his experience at Stevenson and why he has chosen to get more involved. MIA PETERSON ’89: When you remember your years at Stevenson, what moments and memories stand out? WILL GRIFFITH ’89: Stevenson was an incredibly instrumental experience across so many different aspects — academic, athletic, social, and ethical. There was a tremendous student body, terrific teachers, great administration, and so many lessons that we all soaked in as adolescents preparing to move on to the next experience in life. Also, for me, the sports experiences taught me about learning teamwork, the value of hard work, and the reward that comes from applying yourself and seeing success from that. I’ll never forget Coach Jeff Young and the football experiences we had on the field together; and then on the soccer and baseball field with Coach Bob Tintle. That was tremendous. I distinctly remember the East Coast college trip. Without Stevenson, I would have never found Dartmouth and would have never even thought of applying there if it weren’t for other Stevenson alumni who were there at the time and who were willing to share their experience. That was really impactful in terms of a broadening step for me.

I think the other aspect that I didn’t really appreciate at the time was just what a safe and nurturing environment Stevenson provided to all of us during a time of life when so many things are being shaped for us. And that, upon reflection, is another thing that I just am extremely grateful for. MP: After you left Stevenson and went on to college and beyond, how did your Stevenson experience shape you as an individual? WG: Well, it’s interesting. I think a lot of the things that happened and some of the success along the way for me actually started when I was here at Stevenson. Stevenson was great about expanding my understanding of the world and my horizons, even while I was here. A lot of the lessons that were taught to me at the time in terms of hard work, achievement, and applying oneself, those were instrumental throughout my life and continue to be. Then when I think about the different steps along the way and some of the success I’ve been fortunate enough to experience, a lot goes back to the lessons that were taught to me while I was in

high school. Stevenson instilled in me important lessons about working hard and applying oneself, and the feeling of reward that comes from focusing on something and seeing the success from that. Stevenson was a very important foundation for a lot of the things that happened in my life. MP: You mentioned that you stayed close with certain teachers. Is there any teacher or teachers in particular who have been part of your life, and has this relationship with them been important throughout your life since Stevenson? WG: I was fortunate, I think like a lot of us alumni, to have many great teachers when I was here. Clearly, I think that’s one thing that Stevenson’s been great at

2012 ALUMNI MAGAZINE

is finding teachers who are passionate about their craft, and they stay here. So I distinctly remember a lot of the teachers that I had had been here for 10 years-plus at the time.

Will Griffith ’89 speaks with Michael Decker ’13 and Abby Woolf ’13 at the Barrows Hall Dedication in September 2012.

One teacher in particular whom I stayed very close with throughout the years is Mr. John Senuta, who was my math teacher when I was a freshman and again in BC calculus. Like a lot of great teachers, he was extremely passionate and gifted in terms of his ability to create passion around a subject and connect with students, but he also took an interest in my life personally and helped challenge me and teach me social lessons along the way, which were very valuable. He helped me build a strong foundation. So, yes, I’ve remained very close with him, and he’s been a great mentor as I continue to progress through life. MP: What made you decide to take on a greater alumni role at Stevenson? WG: When I think back and reflect on my life and certain events that I’m grateful for, Stevenson really provided a foundation for which a lot of things could happen for me. So it’s really just out of gratitude to be provided the opportunity to be here, to be surrounded by teachers, the administration, other great students, and to be brought into a community where you could grow as an adolescent into something more. It was such an instrumental experience in terms of my growth that when I reflect on different opportunities and places that I’m grateful for, Stevenson is at the top of the list. For me, I will probably never be able to properly express that. But if there’s anything I can do to help continue the mission here of providing an opportunity for other deserving students and contribute to that in any way I can, I’m excited to do so. MP: We’re excited you’re here. Now, along those same lines, what would you say to Stevenson alumni who haven’t been that involved in the school, and how would you encourage them to reengage with

STEVENSON SCHOOL

Stevenson, and why would you tell them this is important? WG: This is our school. This was a great experience that we all were afforded, and I don’t think any of us take that for granted. Stevenson really helped many of us succeed in life and was focused on trying to provide a great foundation for us. Strong schools typically have strong alumni groups that are passionate about preserving their school and seeing its culture and success continue. So to me, I think that’s a reason to reconnect with the school and contribute in a number of different ways and in as many ways as possible. Certainly, joining the alumni association, participating with your class, coming back for Homecoming or Reunion Weekend, is very important and just a sign of the health of the school and really trying to continue Stevenson’s message. Certainly, financial support is always a great measure of support, and very much appreciated (and needed) by the school. But there are many different ways to get involved.

And thanks to the renewed efforts of the alumni office, there are a growing number of opportunities to connect. MP: Will, thanks for taking the time to talk to me. We really appreciate you being here, and we’re excited for the future. WG: I am equally excited and looking forward to doing what I can to continue to help Stevenson with its message and mission. Will received his B.A. in engineering and history from Dartmouth and an M.B.A. from Stanford Graduate School of Business. With more than 20 years of experience in finance, most recently 12 years as a venture capitalist with Technology Crossover Ventures (TCV), Will brings an innovative spirit, leadership experience, and financial expertise to this position, including previous board positions with high-profile companies. He lives in Atherton with his wife Calla and their three children. Will has served the past two years as the Alumni Annual Fund chair and is already working on plans for the Alumni Association going forward.

A L U M N I SPOTLIGHT CONNECTING FOR A CAUSE

TODD BENTON ’82 • RYAN ANTHONY FLAGG ’95 ALESSANDRA BENTON ’06 Alessandra Benton ’06 has been dreaming of Africa since she was 5 years old. She remembers telling her mother that one day she would travel to Africa, live on a game reserve, and save and breed endangered animals back into the wild. It’s interesting enough to say that Alessandra is indeed living her childhood dream today as a safari game ranger, wildlife photographer, and conservationist on the Eastern Cape of South Africa, but this story goes deeper, involving global alumni connections, the power of social media, and a commitment to making a difference.

“I have witnessed firsthand the joy of saving newborn cheetahs from starvation, teaching them how to hunt in the wild and then releasing them to grow, nurture their young, and continue the cycle of nature,” says Alessandra, whose childhood dream has evolved into a goal of creating a wildlife reserve that rescues and rehabilitates injured and orphaned animals, while also offering online study programs, local educational outreach, and visiting internships. Understanding the challenges of making her dream a reality, Alessandra reached out to two fellow alumni in the communications and media fields to help her share her message on a global level — Todd Benton ’82, a consultant, web designer, and Alessandra’s half-brother; and Ryan Flagg ’95, a social media expert. The three alumni (Todd and Ryan had never met in person) came together via a Skype conference call in June of this year, and began creating a plan to help Alessandra share her beautiful images of African wildlife and her conservation dream.

STEVENSON SCHOOL

From there, the three worked quickly and efficiently to help their fellow

schoolmate. Todd, after a three-month process of organizing hundreds of Alessandra’s wildlife images, writing content, and testing various web designs, created a visually dynamic web page and gallery showcasing her mission and photography. Ryan outlined a communications strategy using social networking tools, such as Facebook and blogging platforms, to allow the world access to Alessandra’s project and to inspire support of her effort. Today, Alessandra blogs regularly about her projects and cause, and can share her imagery and adventures with a global audience. Alessandra, Todd, and Ryan plan to continue supporting and mentoring one another as the project moves forward in hopes of seeing one alumna’s childhood dream become a reality. Todd Benton ’82 is a consultant and website designer at BentonWebs, and lives in Bonsall, California. Ryan Flagg ’95 is a social media expert and a donor advisor of The Lori & Lou Flagg Memorial Youth Fund of the Community Foundation for Monterey County. Ryan lives in Pebble Beach, California with his wife and daughter. Alessandra Benton ’06 lives in Port Elizabeth, South Africa. Her website is www.alessandrabenton.com.

ADRENALIN CHAMP

Yuri Hauswald ’88 at the 2012 Downieville Classic

YURI HAUSWALD ’88

Yuri Hauswald ’88 — professional endurance mountain biker, magazine and blog writer, events promoter, and product evaluator — is the first to say that he had no idea what he wanted to do after Stevenson. Yet 25 years later, he’s built a lifestyle and successful career that is a unique compilation of all the things he loves best.

Then he decided to try competitive racing. “I got destroyed in my first race, but it just made me strive to work harder.” In 1996 he moved back to Petaluma where he grew up, took a teaching job at an elementary school, and started climbing the ranks of the extremely competitive mountain biking world, qualifying for semipro status in 2001.

“I just kept chasing my passions,” says Yuri, who currently lives in Petaluma, California with his wife Vanessa. “I never had a specific career in mind, but somehow everything came together.”

“I was getting killed in the semipro brackets,” says Yuri. So in 2006, he tried something new. A friend suggested he try a 24-hour race, a grueling form of

An all-star lacrosse player while at Stevenson, Yuri transferred to the University of California at Berkeley (after a short stint at a junior college in Chico) at the suggestion of classmate, lacrosse teammate, and close friend Doug Sciutto ’88. He played lacrosse for Cal, where he was voted captain for his junior and senior years, and graduated with “good grades” and a degree in American Literature, and a minor in African American Studies. At the suggestion of another Stevenson connection, past faculty member Larry Filippone, Yuri took a teaching job at The Hill School in Pennsylvania, “A Dead Poets Society kind of place,” he says. It was also where he was introduced to mountain biking. “Some faculty members took me out riding one Saturday afternoon — and I was hooked,” recalls Yuri. After two years at The Hill School, Yuri moved to Santa Fe, New Mexico to pursue a master’s degree at St. John’s. “I became the quintessential mountain biking dirtbag,” Yuri explains. “I lived in a shed and rode my bike every chance I got.”

“I’m happy and doing what I love to do. What more can you ask for?” endurance mountain bike racing in which solo competitors or teams race for a period of 24 hours. With his wife and two friends as his crew, Yuri entered the 24 Hours of Adrenalin race at Laguna Seca. And in June 2006, Yuri won his first-ever solo 24-hour race — an amazing feat for an experienced 24-hour rider, but an extraordinary accomplishment for a rookie. And even more surprising to Yuri was that the win qualified him to turn pro (at the “old age” of 36) and to compete at the 24 Hour World Championships. Yuri competed at the World Championships and placed 9th, and returned to Laguna Seca in 2007 to win the 24 Hours of Adrenalin for a second time. After completing four 24-hour events, Yuri chose to stop. “They are brutal, take tons of effort, and then wipe you out for weeks,” he says.

But Yuri had other opportunities knocking at his door. Throughout his racing years, many of the companies that sponsored him had Yuri try out their products and then give feedback. Because of Yuri’s strong writing and communication skills, which he credits to his years at Stevenson, companies like GU Energy Labs and Camelbak wanted to give him products. In 2008, Yuri started writing for the literary biking magazine Bike Monkey, which he calls his “labor of love.” He now is the Brand Specialist for GU Energy Labs and does some marketing and social media as well. He also helps with event promotions for Levi’s Gran Fondo, a charity ride that brings more than 7,000 participants to Sonoma each year. Yuri, who recently visited Stevenson to talk to some of the English classes and lead a ride through the forest, adds, “I’m happy and doing what I love to do. What more can you ask for?”

A L U M N I SPOTLIGHT Josh also emphasizes that enthusiasts wear these watches, not as a deliberate display of wealth but because of their rarity. “Vintage Rolex is cool. It’s different. It’s not ‘the latest and greatest,’ rather the brand that sits at the crescendo of the collaboration of style and technology that already ‘arrived’ decades ago,” explains Josh.

Rare 1940’s 18kt Rose Gold Rolex owned by Andy Warhol

VINTAGE COOL

JOSH BONIFAS ’94

Josh Bonifas’ ’94 passion for timepieces and vintage watches has made him one of the country’s most revered subject matter experts in his field. As an established industry visionary, his knowledge and expertise have made him a valuable and influential asset to partners such as Rolex, Antiques Roadshow, and other top vintage watch enthusiasts. “I have been fortunate to have found and sold the majority of the most important new and vintage Rolex watches to come to market,” says Josh, who emphasizes that every vintage watch is unique and that many variables contribute to determining value.

Josh graduated from Middlebury College with a degree in art history, which he believes is what led him to be interested in watches. “Watches have a very interesting history and are clearly works of art,” Josh says. After college, he came back to work for his father’s estate and contemporary jewelry store in Carmel, Fourtané, and helped grow the watch business to what it is today — world renowned. Truly an expert in his field, Josh explains that vintage Rolex is its own brand, genuinely in a category of its own. The client for these timepieces is not only the connoisseur of all things “fine and rare” but also the customer who wants something uncommon, something that not just anyone can have, something that only the initiated understand and appreciate. These customers have a unique and genuine appreciation for the details and nuance that make these watches so desirable to collectors and so enigmatic to others.

TWO OF THE MOST IMPORTANT ROLEX DIVE WATCHES EVER MADE (Left) Prototype Rolex “Sea-dweller” from 1967, only 6 examples known to exist. Another example, just sold at Christies Auction in Geneva for $520,000 on November 10. (Right) A historically important Rolex U.S. Navy “Sea-lab” Test Submariner from 1964. Both are for sale at Fourtané in Carmel.

STEVENSON SCHOOL

With an elite clientele and global network, Josh’s collection is one of the most renowned in the country, and he continues his quest to buy and sell the world’s most important watches ever made. His quest takes him to New York, Asia, and Europe to build relationships with other aficionados, and track down the most rare and valuable timepieces. He also is an avid speaker and contributor to many industry publications and organizations. Josh adds, “From Steve McQueen’s and Eric Clapton’s Submariners to a rare one-of-a-kind Rolex found on Craigslist in Mexico City, my job is always exciting. It has led me down many interesting paths. Many of the stories would make for a great reality TV show.” Josh’s brother Kristofer ’01, after completing a master’s degree at Stanford, has also joined the family business, focusing on building Fourtané’s internet presence to reach the growing global clientele.

Stefanie Lyon ’91 with Nicole Miller

2012 Nicole Miller Holiday Collection

A PASSION FOR FASHION

STEFANIE (MOORE) LYON ’91 “My mom always says I came out of the womb loving fashion,” says Stefanie Lyon ’91, stylist and owner of a Nicole Miller boutique in San Diego, California. But for Stefanie, her love of all things fashion isn’t a self-focused obsession — it’s a calling, a career, a family venture, and a way of making a difference in the lives of individuals and in the community. The beginnings of Stefanie’s career in fashion date back to Stevenson—junior prom, in fact. “I was in Boston visiting my sister Shannon (Moore) Karm ’89 at Boston College, when I found the perfect prom dress. It was black and the most beautiful dress I’d ever seen. I had to have it,” she recalls. The next year, for senior prom, she again found the “perfect” dress—this time a red one, in a catalog. She realized both dresses were designed by Nicole Miller (an American fashion designer based out of New York

City) — at the time just an interesting coincidence. “I had no idea who Nicole Miller was. I just knew what I liked,” she says.

“To me, good business is all about the relationships you build” Stefanie had been working part-time jobs since junior high to support her “habit,” and as her tastes expanded, so did her need for a job that better aligned with her interests. As fate would have it, a Nicole Miller boutique was just opening up at Carmel Plaza. Stefanie began working for Nicole Miller, and came back for summer work even during college at St. Mary’s.

“Working in the retail fashion industry was not what I had planned for my career,” says Stefanie, who majored in anthropology, with an emphasis on archeology. But after college, and an attempt at pitching a community service segment for local television stations, she got a call from the owner of the Carmel Nicole Miller store, desperately needing help for the struggling boutique. A natural “people person” and leader (captain of the Stevenson girls varsity tennis team for both her junior and senior years and Senior Forum member), Stefanie found that sales came easy. And before long, she had turned the store around. Stefanie was asked to go to New York and give a presentation on “Cultivating Clientele” to other Nicole Miller staff, and that’s when she met Bud Konheim, CEO of Nicole Miller, and Nicole Miller — and the idea of owning her own store took root. 2012 ALUMNI MAGAZINE

Shortly after, Stefanie crafted a business plan and called Konheim about opening her own store. “I remember telling him ‘financing wouldn’t be a problem,’ and inside my head knowing that obtaining a bank loan with minimal start-up capital was going to be a challenge.” But with her own savings, a small inheritance from her grandmother, and a loan from her brother Michael Moore ’95, Stefanie qualified for outside financing. She obtained the Nicole Miller license for the San Diego region in 1996, packed up with her newlywed husband Casey, and moved south.

Carlsbad, where she has added a fullservice bridal boutique.

Some 16 years later, Stefanie’s business is thriving. She says, “I remember the first day I opened my store in La Jolla, and several of the local shop owners telling me I didn’t have a chance of lasting.” But she did: 15 years in La Jolla, and now in The Forum, a new shopping mall in

about how they look, then I feel good about what I am doing. My clients are friends — I’ve been to their weddings, baby showers, and even funerals. To me, good business is all about the relationships you build.” Her relationships extend out into the community, too. Stefanie has helped raise more than $75,000 for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation and several thousand dollars for a local family (and client) charity fund, The Toby Wells Foundation. But none of this would mean anything if it weren’t for her family, Stefanie insists. A mother of two young girls and budding fashionistas, Faith and Sofia, Stefanie puts family first: “It’s a balancing act for sure. But my family is my foundation — they come first, no matter what.”

MAKING PROM SPECIAL FOR GIRLS IN NEED As Stefanie’s story highlights, something as simple as a prom dress can have a lasting impact on a young girl. Understanding the importance of building self-confidence and self-image during the adolescent years, Stefanie recently joined the Board of Directors for a nonprofit called Cinderella’s Attic, an organization dedicated to providing donated prom dresses for high schools girls who do not have the means to buy their own formal wear. Stefanie’s store donates dresses, and now also offers a Nicole Miller giftcard to clients who donate gently used prom dresses for the organization.

impressed a torch is being passed to a new generation of entrepreneurs.”

ENTREPRENEURS WIN BIG RYAN HAMBLEY ’07 & BEN HOLBER ’07 Ryan Hambley ’07 and Ben Holber ’07, friends and now business partners, thought they had a good idea. So just 40 minutes before the deadline to apply for the Monterey Bay Business Plan Competition, they completed the application and started preparing their pitch for YoDerm (www.yoderm.com), a website that would allow clients to submit photos and descriptions of their acne condition, which would then be evaluated by a board-certified dermatologist. Prescriptions would be filled online — all without a visit to the doctor’s office. After Ryan graduated from the University of Victoria, B.C. with a degree in economics, and Ben from Lehigh University with an accounting/finance degree, the friends reconnected in Monterey and started talking about this idea. But once they actually applied for the competition, they knew they had to formalize what they believed to be a feasible and profitable business concept. They spent several months researching, conducting interviews, learning about legal issues that could impact their business model, and developing a business plan. And, understanding the importance of a quality presentation, they mocked up a website to

demonstrate the process, and created a 1:23 minute video featuring a guy named “Todd” who had to wait months to get a doctor appointment to treat his acne. By the time he got treated and paid the bill, he was broke and couldn’t afford to ask a girl out. With YoDerm, he could be seen by a dermatologist over the Internet for $49, get a prescription, and afford the date. The only entrepreneurs at the Monterey Institute of International Studies-hosted event to present a cartoon video, Ryan and Ben won the competition and received $86,000 in cash and services to make a go of their entrepreneurial idea. In an interview with Monterey County Weekly, Hambley said he didn’t have a true-life date story to tell, but said it helped that his father is a dermatologist, Dr. Richard Hambley of Monterey.

“The most important lessons I’ve learned through this process are how important good information is, and the power of networking,” says Ryan, who acknowledges that several alumni have really been helpful throughout their research, including Joe Rheim ’89 and Lexi Franklin ’04. Ben offered a little advice of his own for those looking to start their own businesses: “Find a partner you trust and like. That is the biggest thing.” The Monterey Regional Business Plan Competition is an annual competition that offers start-ups and emerging companies the chance to showcase their ideas and business concepts to angels and venture capitalists. It is also a vehicle to connect entrepreneurs to serial entrepreneurs, funders, consultants, and support programs in the region. The competition is intended to be a tool that strengthens start-ups and emerging businesses by providing entrepreneurs with the best foundation possible. Mark Peterson ’89 is a member of the planning committee for the competition, and alumni Elliott Easterling ’89, Will Griffith ’89, Kai Peters ’89, and Andrew Zaninovich ‘89 have participated as judges.

FIGHTING TO PROTECT HIS SURF

BOB KEATS ’65

Bob Keats ’65, an executive committee member of the Santa Barbara Chapter of Surfrider Foundation, has spent the past 21 years of his life fighting to protect California’s coastline, specifically the eastern Gaviota Coast area of Southern California. He says this passion for the ocean and the inspiration to make a difference all started at Stevenson. Coming from suburban New Jersey, Bob fell in love with the Pacific Ocean as soon as he arrived at Stevenson. Keats got a surfboard, stored it at classmate Lindsay Jeffers’ ’65 home near Carmel Beach, and spent the weekends in the water. His passion for the sport was so strong that during the summer before his senior year, he wrote to Robert Ricklefs, headmaster of the school at the time, and told him he wanted to start a surfing program to provide Stevenson students the opportunity to surf after school, during the week, as part of the P.E. offerings. They talked, a coach was hired, and what may have been the first high school surfing program was started. “That was the first time I realized I had the ability to take an idea and turn it into a reality,” says Bob. During his years at Stevenson, Bob also was nominated and elected class president, to his surprise, which further strengthened his awareness that others saw leadership qualities in him that he’d never realized. After Stevenson, Bob enrolled at the University of California at Santa Barbara

“because they had a photo of the surf at Campus Point on their recruitment brochure,” he says. Surfing became his main focus in life, and his respect for the coast continued to grow. Bob stayed at UCSB for graduate school, and recalls his first activist effort: “A seawall was about to be built at Campus Point, and those can be very damaging for the environment. I got involved in leading a campaign to stop it — I was so consumed, I don’t think I studied for two weeks.” He went on to become an English teacher, and then a budding singersongwriter, and just as he was seeing his music career progress, Bob’s life came to a devastating halt. He was diagnosed with mixed connective tissue disease, a form of arthritis that left him chronically weak and made teaching, surfing, and even his music impossible to continue. After experiencing no success with Western medicine treatments, Keats embarked on a self-directed holistic program that helped him make progress against the illness. Around that same time, as his physical strength returned, he was inspired — again by an environmental cause.

oceans, waves, and beaches. Surfrider’s response was very enthusiastic. Bob was too late to stop the development, but he inspired a larger effort to stop development on the rest of the Gaviota Coast. A letter-writing campaign began with the support of Surfrider, and Bob co-founded the Southcoast Environmental Alliance, which brought together more nonprofits around this cause. Twenty months later, some alliance members coalesced as the Gaviota Coast Conservancy, a group dedicated to permanent protection of the Gaviota Coast. Bob served as first president of the conservancy from 1996 – 1999. To date, the coast has not gained national seashore status, but Bob and team are not letting up. Recently a buyer dropped out of escrow on coastal property planned for development, influenced in part by the environmental groups. So the battles to protect the Gaviota Coast and to regain his health continue for Bob — and with his health improving, his passion strong, and the support of internationally renowned NGOs, he’ll keep on fighting for what he believes in.

“I read an article about a development being planned for one of my favorite surf spots, Haskell’s Beach. I went there, to say my goodbyes, and realized that this place was just too beautiful to let go,” he says. Many years before, he had visited Cape Cod National Seashore, and remembered learning about the protected status of national seashores. He thought that this could be the potential solution for his beloved Gaviota Coast. He finally connected with Surfrider Foundation, a grassroots environmental organization working to protect and preserve the world’s

Día de los Muertos Día de los Muertos, or Day of the Dead, is a Mexican tradition stemming from ancient indigenous rituals honoring deceased loved ones, combined with Catholic practices brought to Mexico by Spanish missionaries. Día de los Muertos is not a morbid or sad holiday but rather a celebration of the lives of loved ones and an opportunity to honor and remember them in a festive manner. Continued next page...

Día de los Muertos Continued from previous page...

Carmel Campus Spanish and art teachers explored this unique holiday with students by discussing the history of Día de los Muertos, making related arts and crafts, decorating classrooms, enjoying traditional music, and eating traditional foods, such as Pan de Muerto (bread of the dead). Día de los Muertos is a tradition rich in language, art, history, culture, folklore, and music. This year, the Spanish and art teachers collaborated to put on a Día de los Muertos celebration. Students and teachers created a traditional decorative “altar” in the multipurpose room, where students, faculty, and staff can remember

their loved ones by placing crafts, pictures, and memorabilia, known as “ofrendas” on the “altar.” The Pebble Beach Campus also created an altar where students made “ofrendas” throughout the day.

NEWS CRAMPTON NEARLY QUALIFIES FOR U.S. OPEN, REPRESENTS U.S.

Robotics Course Goes Underwater New classes continue to be added at Stevenson to help prepare students to excel in tomorrow’s fields. One such class, introduced last spring, is Robotics, a yearlong, project-driven course that fosters critical thinking and an understanding of real-world applications. Faculty member Jim Fannin, who developed and teaches the course, describes it as “an opportunity for students to think about a need, visualize an object to meet that need, and solve all the problems that come with the fabrication process.” Part of the course will involve underwater robotics, with the nearby Pacific Ocean as inspiration, classroom, and testing ground for student-built and -programmed Remote Operated Vehicles (ROVs). The capstone of the course will come in the spring when student teams enter their final projects in the regional Marine Advanced Technology Education Center competition. “Robots and ROVs, such as the Mars Rover, allow us to explore environments that are otherwise inaccessible to humans. The growth of underwater archeology and the mapping of the ocean floor will require educated scientists and engineers who can open that world so we can all experience it and learn from it, explains Mr. Fannin. “By learning through doing, our students will have a definite advantage in college and beyond.” 20

The United States Golf Association (USGA) requested Seb’s presence to compete in the United States Golf Association’s USA vs. China Youth Golf Match Play. Seb was selected because of his volunteer work with the President’s Leadership Links program with the USGA and his excellent ability to execute on the golf course, as well as his understanding of the history of the game and his gentlemanly disposition. Glen Nager, president of the USGA, requested a special round of golf with Seb the day before the event, and Seb got to spend the day on course at the Olympic Club by himself with Mr. Nager.

KOMABA TOHO EXCHANGE PROGRAM THRIVES Stevenson’s Japanese Exchange Program with Komaba Toho School in Tokyo celebrated its 30th year last spring. The program, which provides a Stevenson male student the opportunity to spend five weeks in Japan living with a Japanese family and attending Komaba Toho (an all-boys school), provides a unique opportunity both educationally and culturally. Mr. Yasuhiko (Mike) Sata, a Japanese businessman and alumnus of Komaba Toho, initiated the program idea because he felt it was important for Japanese students to gain a global perspective of the world early on in life. He met with Stevenson President Joe Wandke 30 years ago, they shared a belief in the value of providing students an immersion experience, discussed how best it could work for both schools, and the program was born.

With 56 acres currently under vine, the most recently planted eight acres were CCOF Certified Organic in 2010.

In addition to seven pinot noirs (including estate), the Alfaro Family Vineyards produce estate chardonnay, merlot, syrah, plus zinfandel, sangiovese, and viognier. Alfaro’s hillside vineyards are less than four miles from the cooling influence of Monterey Bay, in the southern end of the Santa Cruz Mountains appellation. A tasting room, picnic area, and even a basketball court welcome both wine connoisseurs and families looking for a fun weekend outing. You can learn more about Alfaro Family Vineyards at www.alfarowine.com.

2010 Alfaro Family Lester Family Vineyard at Deer Park Santa Cruz Mountains Pinot Noir: “The cool 2010 vintage seems to have brought out the best in Richard Alfaro’s efforts, both with his own Corralitos vineyard and with other sites. This bottle from the nearby Lester site, planted to a mix of Dijon and older selections like Mount Eden, is tension-filled, packed with juicy currant fruit. Iodine and juniper accents balance a dose of new oak, but the innate beauty of fruit from this Aptos site shines through.” — SFGate

“The Alfaro wines are full-bodied, well-endowed and moderately tannic and will appeal to those with a love of rich and luscious pinot noirs. They can stand up to hearty food such as short ribs. The wines are improving with each vintage as Richard’s vines become more mature and he becomes more adept at working with the estate fruit.” — PinotFile.com

The PIRATE REVIEW

DAHLIA JEAN, THE JUNGLE QUEEN By Matt Smith ’93 Dahlia Jean, The Jungle Queen, Matt’s first published book, is a fun, beautifully illustrated book (by Florida artist Kim Johnson) about a little girl who has a vivid imagination and imagines having many adventures in the African Congo.

“When my daughter Dahlia was little, I would send out emails every month with photos of her to friends and family,” says Matt Smith ’93. “I would always include a silly poem or note in the email. People kept telling me that those poems should be kids’ books! So seven years, and a few rejections later, I sent one of the stories to a publisher and they loved it!”

Early Amazon.com reviews give Dahlia Jean, The Jungle Queen five stars. One reviewer writes, “Exploring the Congo with Dahlia Jean was a delight. The illustrations were beautiful and the story makes you smile.” Another writes, “My grandsons LOVED it. The story is adorable and the art work is amazing. I can always tell when the boys like a book if they ask me to read it again, as was the case with this book.”

Matt draws much of his inspiration from his own 9-year-old daughter Dahlia and her amazement and wonder at the world around her. Her heartfelt empathy for others, her love for all animals, and her fascination with different cultures and places of the world make her a perfect subject for a father’s stories — about a little girl who loves to dream. With the positive reviews beginning to roll in, Matt adds, “I’m hoping this will evolve into an entire series of Dahlia Jean books and her many, endless adventures with her imagination.” After Stevenson, Matt attended Chapman University. Matt is a husband, father, amateur strongman, and telecommunications repair technician who grew up all over California. He currently lives in Santa Rosa with his two young children Dax and Dahlia, his wife Carrie, and his “old, wise dog” Rouger.

THE TUCK BOX

Jeff LeTowt ’88

“There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea.” — Henry James Described by Fodor’s as “a bright little restaurant that is in a cottage right out of a fairy tale,” The Tuck Box, constructed in 1927, is a living piece of Carmel history and a local landmark. For the past 65 years, the Tuck Box has existed as a restaurant in the middle of Carmel-by-the-Sea on Dolores between Ocean and 7th. It has not always been devoted to British food as it is today, but since the 1940s, when two sisters from England opened the tea room that they named “The Tuck Box,” after the small wooden lockers English schoolboys took to boarding school to hold their toys, books, and food (tuck).

SHARES HIS PERSPECTIVE ON WHERE THE U.S. ECONOMY HAS BEEN & WHERE IT IS GOING By Meg Sullivan 30

now-defunct Dean Witter investment firm office in Carmel. Yet the 17-year-old started placing trades there, and over the course of several years, his humble investment of $200, earned through parttime jobs, had multiplied 50 times. “Even the blind pig sometimes finds acorns,” he remembers with a laugh. Thanks in part to that positive experience, the self-deprecating Ohanian today is a prominent economist, and his opinions are sought not just by his students at UCLA, where he has taught since 1999, but also by governments, the media, and even advisors to presidential candidates. The man whose friendly, justus-folks manner belies his influence and reputation sees the activities as a way of helping others better understand the complexities of the world around them.

s a senior at Stevenson School in the mid-1970s, Lee E. Ohanian ’75 didn’t know what he was going to do with his life — until he stepped into the economics class of retired AT&T executive Charles Stenz. With the stock market finally stirring after more than five years of slumber, Stenz’s classroom assignment to track a fictitious investment in the stock market took on an extraordinary thrill. “My pretend $50,000 turned into $300,000, and I was like, ‘Wow this is great,” recalls Ohanian, now 55. “It was a watershed moment for me. The experience got me interested not just in investing but also in economics more generally.” Buoyed by his success, Ohanian started to buy real stocks — no small feat in the days before online trading, when the soft-spoken, redheaded day student had to summon the moxie to walk into the

STEVENSON SCHOOL

“I like it when someone says, ‘You know what? I really understand what you’re saying. It makes sense to me,’” he says. “So if I can make things clearer, that’s very heartening.” In addition to occupying a prominent chair at UCLA, Ohanian (pronounced OhHAY-knee-an) serves as a senior fellow at Stanford’s influential Hoover Institute. He also is a longtime consultant to the Minneapolis Federal Reserve, a body known for its prescient warnings in 1999 that U.S. banks were becoming — as the title of a publication it produced at the time put it — “Too Big to Fail.” As an expert in economic crises, Ohanian is often consulted about what ails ailing economies. When Argentina’s economy collapsed in 2001, Argentinean economists called him in. As dark clouds gathered first over the state and then the nation in 2008, he testified before California’s Legislature and then before the U.S. Congress. He has played a role in informing the economic policies of candidates in the past two U.S. presidential races.

“Most academics focus exclusively on publishing in research journals,” says Gary Hansen, a fellow UCLA economics professor. “They don’t bother with policy work. They feel like the incentives just aren’t there. Lee is unusually active in trying to shed light on current policy issues. That’s largely because he’s good at it.” Although Ohanian has studied such aspects of the recent global downturn as U.S. mortgage modification policies and Spain’s economic crisis, he is best known for research that uses the tools of contemporary economics to bring a fresh understanding to economic upheavals of the past. With University of Pennsylvania economist Harold Cole, he looked into the role of certain New Deal policies in prolonging the duration — and pain — of the Great Depression. According to their findings, Franklin D. Roosevelt nearly doubled the length of the 15-year depression by promoting policies that propped up prices and non-farm wages. The study has since become one of the best-known UCLA studies of all time, cited in hundreds of media reports since 2008 as a lightning rod for both the political right and left. “The lesson is: Be careful what you do,” he says. “With an economy that’s already going south, if you do a little bit of the wrong thing, then you can really sink it.”

“LEE IS UNUSUALLY ACTIVE IN TRYING TO SHED LIGHT ON CURRENT POLICY ISSUES. THAT’S LARGELY BECAUSE HE’S GOOD AT IT.” — Gary Hansen, UCLA Economics Professor

As active as Ohanian is in his field, he is as devoted to his three children – a kindergartener, a high school junior, and a sophomore in college. His wife Beth is a family therapist. “I try to make sure I’m available and involved in activities that are important to them,” he says. “But you always wish there were more hours in the day.” At the family home in Pacific Palisades, Ohanian is “head chef,” a job he relishes. “We have our nights of takeout, but when dinner is homemade, I’m the one making it,” he says. “I really love to cook. I almost left college after my freshman year to go to cooking school. I am now glad that I didn’t — cooking is a really tough career!” In addition to cooking, Ohanian enjoys sports. He served as coach for both of

his son’s and his daughter’s basketball teams. He used to play basketball himself — as well as tennis — but now he’s spending more time at golf, a game he took up as a teen growing up in Pebble Beach but abandoned in frustration. “It is fun, even when the ball doesn’t go where you want it to, and it is a relaxing way to spend time with friends and to get away from things.”

But as Ohanian knows all too well, it is not so easy to escape such problems as a sluggish economy or lingering joblessness. To provide his perspective on these and other afflictions of today’s economy, Ohanian took some time out of his busy schedule on the UCLA campus to share his

perspective on where the U.S. economy has been and where it is going. What are the most important economic challenges facing the country today? OHANIAN: The most obvious challenge is that too few Americans are working. The employment rate — the number of people working, as a share of the adult population — has fallen nearly 8 percent from 2007 to a level that we have not seen since the 1970s. We are having no recovery whatsoever when it comes to job creation. We don’t know whether this decline is a temporary glitch that will reverse itself quickly or whether it will become permanent. We face a number of problems that may keep employment low for some time, including a record peacetime level of

federal debt and a historically low level of entrepreneurship. We no longer have the same level of economic vibrancy that characterized the 1980s and 1990s, and the uncertainty regarding future tax and spending policies is further depressing our economy.

It’s been more than three years since the recession officially ended, yet some 20 million Americans still can’t find full-time employment. How is this affecting the workforce? O: This is impacting both the youngest and oldest workers severely. The youngest, who are still in the process of building skills, have far fewer opportunities than in the past. And the oldest workers have suffered considerably as their homes have lost value, and some have lost jobs and have little opportunity to find new jobs at the same pay level. Workers who are losing their jobs are often taking pay cuts of 20 percent or more to become re-employed. This is the worst economy for job creation since the 1970s and will probably last longer. The 1980s were an extraordinary time for economic growth in the U.S. I don’t see signs that we will have the same rebound today.

STEVENSON SCHOOL

During the presidential election, both candidates promised to bring back manufacturing jobs with new initiatives to support manufacturing. How realistic is that? O: The main lesson of economics is that there is no free lunch. A lot of manufacturing can be done more efficiently in other countries. Those jobs can only come back here if workers are willing to take enormous pay cuts or if the government steps in to subsidize production. But subsidization uses more resources than what is gained by artificially bringing these jobs back. Once we recognize we can’t subsidize everyone, this policy loses its charm quickly. It is a mistake, but unfortunately, this message seems to be positively received by voters, so we will keep seeing more of this by both parties.

With the presidential election now behind us, what obstacles to recovery does the president face? O: The tax increases President Obama has proposed and the redistribution of wealth that he wants to promote would further depress job creation. People say, “Tax the rich; they can afford it.” And yeah, they can afford it. And if it were just a matter of getting Bill Gates or

Warren Buffett to pay an extra $500,000 in taxes, that would be one thing. But if President Obama succeeds in raising taxes on capital — and on job creators in general — people in the position to create and produce goods and services will stop doing so. If you look at U.S. business during the past 30 years, you see all these big success stories: Microsoft, Apple, Genentech, Amgen, FedEx, Oracle, Amazon. If you look to continental Europe, where there is a lot more regulation, higher taxes, and much less incentive to be an entrepreneur, do you know how many of the largest global 500 companies were formed over the same period? Just one — a Swiss apparel firm.

Will tax incentives that prevent jobs from being outsourced to other countries improve employment at home? O: No. This is another case of a subsidy, with taxpayers footing the bill. The best example of how this is a bad idea is the U.S. sugar industry. Congress provides enormous subsidies so that sugar beets can be grown and processed here. The only reason that we have any sugar beet production is because the price of sugar here is more than twice as high as the world price. The Commerce Department found that it costs more than $800,000 per job to support the sugar industry. This is an enormous waste of resources, and voters should demand that special favors like this should be eliminated across the board.

What will happen if the Bush tax cuts aren’t renewed or the draconian “fiscal cliff” budgetary cuts are enacted, as required under the bipartisan supercommittee formed to address the debt ceiling? O: The fiscal cliff will be worked out because the alternative of substantially higher tax rates will be very damaging. I am hopeful that commonsense tax

reform that broadens the tax base and that increases the incentives to hire and to invest will be enacted. I am also hopeful that Congress and the president can agree on sensible changes to spending.

How big a threat to the United States’ continued recovery is the shaky economic climate in Europe? O: It matters because Europe is buying less from us than they otherwise would. Many European countries, including Italy, Spain, and France, are severely sick economies with little immediate prospect for improvement. It is very sad, but those countries have made bad policy choices that are now painfully obvious. The U.S. has benefited in one way from Europe’s problems: One reason why the dollar has remained as strong as it has is because Europe is an economic mess. Investors would much rather invest in the U.S. than in Europe. The strong dollar has kept U.S. inflation low.

What’s your opinion of the more aggressive approach to stimulating the economy taken recently by the Federal Reserve in buying up mortgage-backed securities? O: This is another subsidy, as it raises the market price of securitized mortgage packages and thus directly aids those who hold those securities. But why should those individuals be subsidized? What about everyone else? And if the price that the Fed pays for these securities is too high, then taxpayers will ultimately foot the bill. There is no evidence that this will expand job creation, as previous Fed efforts have done little along these lines. Perhaps more important, these are decisions that go well beyond the standard view of what the Fed typically does. The Fed is conducting fiscal policy. Fiscal policy should be left to lawmakers who are voted into office and not be conducted by political appointees. I don’t mean this pejoratively. Rather, Fed officials

are appointed — not elected — and there should be sensible limits on their ability to make policy outside the normal confines of monetary policy.

The S&P/Case-Shiller index of property values in 20 cities across the U.S. has shown steady increases this year. What, if any, obstacles remain to the housing market finally turning around, and why is so much attention focused on this sector? O: Government policy has ironically prolonged housing market weakness by delaying the inevitable. There are still many homes in the foreclosure process, and this will continue to weigh on the housing market. There is nothing magical about the construction sector, per se. It is so closely watched because construction has fallen more than 50 percent since its 2005 high. But even though we have likely hit bottom in construction, those 2005 construction job levels are not coming back anytime soon.

40 years old. In Ph.D. courses, we don’t teach anything from before 1970. So it’s not like you’re teaching math or physics and you’re going back to Galileo and Copernicus, and you think on some level, “Hey, I’m just dotting the I’s and crossing the T’s.” Economics is brand-new. It’s exciting. It’s important. And we’re making new discoveries all the time. The process of discovery is very exciting to me.

What advice do you have for staying inspired and on track? O: I am very fortunate to have been able to pursue a career that excites me and that gives me the opportunity to contribute to society. Figure out what you enjoy, do it well, and hopefully the market will value your expertise. And take sensible risks when young. On average, risk-taking is rewarded, and our society benefits as well. What would our society be like today if people like Bill Gates and Steve Jobs had not taken risks? Lee E. Ohanian ’ 75 with his wife Beth and son Davis

What are the most important economic lessons this generation needs to learn about the mistakes and choices of our past? O: It is the same lesson as always: Accumulate human capital — education plus skills plus work experience — in order to become competitive in the job market and be able to find a job that you enjoy and that supports the lifestyle that you wish to achieve. Stevenson does a wonderful job of preparing graduates to succeed in universities and then to be able to access remarkable career opportunities. And learn to save and invest. Patience is rewarded in a market economy.

You’re obviously passionate about what you do. Why is that? O: Economics is very different from a lot of other sciences or social sciences because the field is effectively just 30 to

PURSUING PASSIONS & FOLLOWING HIS

DREAMS BY JA N E T KO R N B LU M

He still does. The reason? Simple. “I love what I do,” Zimbalist says.

ENTREPRENEURSHIP BEGAN IN COLLEGE While his father Efrem Zimbalist Jr. had a stellar career as an actor and his grandfather Efrem Zimbalist Sr. was known as one of the world’s great violinists, Skip Zimbalist, as he’s known to the world, chose a different path. While he had the talent and looks (he got rave reviews as Romeo at Stevenson) to follow in his famous father’s footsteps, that wasn’t what he wanted. Instead, he followed his dreams.

EFREM “SKIP” ZIMBALIST III ’64 MAY BE A 65-YEAR-OLD GRANDFATHER, BUT IF YOU THINK THAT’S SLOWING HIM DOWN, YOU HAVEN’T SEEN HIS SCHEDULE LATELY. This past summer, Zimbalist traveled from his office in Southern California to Newport, Rhode Island for a boat show that his specialty media company, Active Interest Media (AIM), was running. Then on Monday, Zimbalist, founder and CEO of AIM, flew to Chicago for a business meeting with private equity backers. On Tuesday, he hopped to Fort Lauderdale to meet with city commissioners. The next day, he jetted across the Atlantic to the Principality of Monaco, where among other things, he attended a party sponsored by the Prince of Monaco. On Saturday, he jumped back to Los Angeles for a night, and the next day, jaunted over to Boulder, Colorado for strategic and budget planning meetings.

Instead he’s running his own company, jetting around the world, supervising, meeting, and cutting new deals. “He’s busy 24/7,” says Chad Lamberson ’64, one of many friends Zimbalist retains from his days a half century ago as a Stevenson student. As most of his friends remember, Zimbalist has always been like that.

It’s also typical Zimbalist understatement.

Zimbalist’s sophomore and junior year roommate Curt Hayden ’64 recalls Zimbalist getting up at 4:00 a.m. every morning to study, while most students were nestled warm in their beds.

“He always said he’d have plenty of time later in life to sleep,” Hayden said. “He liked to make every minute count.”

And, says Zimbalist, “That’s a pretty typical week.”

consulting firm McKinsey and Co., and worked his way up to CEO of Times Mirror Magazines, easily could be spending more time playing golf and tennis, and scuba diving or sailing on his island home on St. John in the Caribbean.

STEVENSON SCHOOL

“Since I was a little boy I always loved business,” says Zimbalist, father of four and grandfather of two. Zimbalist got his entrepreneurial start as an undergrad at Harvard, where he applied only after Stevenson headmaster Robert Ricklefs insisted on it. When he and his roommate decided they wanted to make some extra cash, they didn’t simply apply for a job: They launched a travel company, chartering airplanes so students could fly home for the holidays or to hot vacation spots. Not only did they make a profit, they also got free seats themselves (it’s how Zimbalist got his first taste of St. John). The business eventually grew so much they had salespeople on several campuses. One friend, Mark Hornberger ’68, chairman of Stevenson’s Board of Trustees, calls the stunt “one of the first legends of Skip.” A travel wholesaler was so impressed that he told Zimbalist’s partner Leonard Pfeiffer that “he’d never met such entrepreneurs before,” Pfeiffer recalls. “I didn’t even know what the bloody word meant.”

“HE ALWAYS SAID HE’D HAVE PLENTY OF TIME LATER IN LIFE TO SLEEP. HE LIKED TO MAKE EVERY MINUTE COUNT.” — Curt Hayden ’64

2012 ALUMNI MAGAZINE

Whether Zimbalist knew it or not at the time, that experience was a fitting beginning for what was to become an entrepreneurial career. After receiving his bachelor’s from Harvard, he went on to get his MBA from Harvard Business School. But you probably won’t hear Zimbalist bragging about that, in keeping with what Pfeiffer describes as Zimbalist’s “gracious, selfconfident, and humble presence. He doesn’t feel a need to sit at the head of the table (even though) he’s usually smarter than everyone around.” That humility and everyman quality has made him both a great friend and a successful businessman. “He’s a regular guy in the sense that he’s very comfortable with people of all types,” Hayden says. “He’s the kind of guy where people just like being around him.”

DISCOVERED A PASSION FOR PUBLISHING After Harvard, Zimbalist joined McKinsey and Co. as a consultant, and later ran a company called Correia Art Glass, a family business his wife and her brother had been running. Within a decade, Zimbalist helped turn Correia into a multinational business but left the company after his divorce. “I’d never intended to be in the glass business,” he recalls. So he talked to fellow Stevenson board member Tom Johnston, who also happened to run a headhunting firm. He remembers telling Johnston what he wanted. “I thought that I wanted to be in a business that dealt with consumers,

not to be business to business, and wanted to be in something that was creative,” he says. “I wanted to be in something that was national or international and something that had good values. And I wanted something that wasn’t managed month to month, quarter to quarter — that was a strategic company that dealt in building long-term value.” Johnston told him he “ought to go to work for Times Mirror,” Zimbalist recalls. “And I said, ‘Oh, that sounds perfect,’” Zimbalist says sarcastically. “‘I know nothing about publishing and don’t know anybody there. It sounds like a match made in heaven.’” Johnston laughed and said, “Well, that’s what I think. You asked me.” Johnston was right. Zimbalist joined Times Mirror, best known for its flagship papers such as the Los Angeles Times, The Baltimore Sun, and Newsday. Moving through the ranks, he wound up running the company’s magazine division, hired specifically to turn it around. That’s when he found out he had his own passion for the publishing business. “What I noticed was that the audiences and advertisers, which are the lifeblood of magazines, were much more engaged in the smaller, more targeted enthusiast magazines,” he says. So after the Times Mirror company was sold (he was CFO at the time), “I took a couple of years off and then thought

about what I wanted to do next,” Zimbalist says.

LAUNCHED HIS OWN MEDIA COMPANY The answer now seems obvious: He thought, “I’d like to start a company that serves enthusiasts — people who are really dedicated to their hobby, their sport, to some passion that they have in their lives.” He also remembers thinking that the company should offer more than just magazines and include events, websites, television, video, and books. “I wanted to be a 360-degree media company serving those people,” Zimbalist recalls. Today he has all that. He launched AIM in 2002, and in 2003 it made its first acquisition. While most media companies struggle to make their bottom line, Zimbalist’s company thrives. AIM now is the “largest special-interest media company in the country,” Zimbalist says. “We have about 40 magazines, 30 events, and countless books and videos.” He’s also interested in the cutting edge, especially where technology is concerned. Only 40 percent of the company’s revenue comes from magazine advertisers. The rest comes from events and other businesses. AIM actively pursues readers via technology, such as iPad and Kindle. What Zimbalist finds especially inspiring: working with people who are not only talented and smart but love what they do. Because he runs a specialty magazine company, most of the people he works with are driven by their passions for their particular sport or avocation. For instance, there’s Jonathan Dorn, editor of Backpacker Magazine, who bikes to work 15 miles each way, rain or shine. “And he lives in Boulder, where it snows,”

“THE PEOPLE WHO OWN BOATS ARE FASCINATING. AND I COULD GO ON ABOUT THE YOGA WORLD OR THE EQUINE WORLD. I EVEN LOVE VEGETARIAN TIMES MAGAZINE EVEN THOUGH I’M NOT A VEGETARIAN.” — Efrem “Skip” Zimbalist III ’64 Photo by Thaddeus Harden

Zimbalist says in a recent phone interview from his El Segundo headquarters.

STEVENSON HELPED HIM OVERCOME SHYNESS

By running a business that focuses on passionate people and their interests, “it gets my juices going,” Zimbalist says about Sail magazine, Yoga Journal, and American Cowboy magazine, to name a few. “The people who own boats are fascinating. And I could go on about the yoga world or the equine world. I even love Vegetarian Times magazine even though I’m not a vegetarian.”

What many don’t know is that Zimbalist was actually painfully shy when he entered Stevenson, a move he says was “my father’s choice, not mine.”

“I hope to be in the media business for a long time to come,” he says.

But Stevenson fostered close relationships with fellow students. And his teachers also helped pull him out of his shell. He remembers several, including science teacher Robert Aughtry. Aughtry helped instill in Zimbalist a lifelong love affair with science.

But it was important to him. And it still is. “I think it’s important not that people necessarily be in the military but that they serve their country in some way,” Zimbalist explains.

FAMILY HAS ALWAYS COME FIRST But the thing most valuable to Zimbalist isn’t his work or his past. It’s his family.

Then there was his English teacher Sybil Fearnley. Even though she “always had a frown on her face and was always looking for some grammatical or punctuation errors,” she was still his favorite, he says. “She was just brutal, but she really gave you an appreciation for the beauty and structure and importance of the English language.” Zimbalist recalls a third teacher who influenced him: Admiral Harold F. Pullen, “a retired Navy man from whom I took several classes—math and French. He took me under his wing and encouraged me and motivated me to go as far as I could.” “I was very shy and introverted and was concerned about it. But when I showed up on day one, I realized very quickly you can’t be shy in boarding school,” Zimbalist says. And apparently you can’t hide the fact that you’re a leader. “Skip was a role model for a lot of people, not only in his class but younger people as well,” says Hornberger, who was one of those younger boys who looked up to Zimbalist. After all these years, Zimbalist is still a leader. When the two served on the Stevenson board together, Zimbalist

continued to be “a role model as an adult,” Hornberger says.

VALUES REMAIN PARAMOUNT When Zimbalist hires people, he looks for obvious qualities: Where did they go to school and how did they do? But more important, what are their values? “I’m looking at the desire to achieve and drive,” he says. “I also look at persistence. And I look at what people do with their spare time. How do they spend their time when they’re not working, which says a lot about their values and their personality. What do they do not just to earn a living?” Values and hard work have always been of paramount importance to Zimbalist. He himself volunteered for military service at a time when “most people were throwing rocks at people in uniforms,” Zimbalist says. “I’m proud that I served my country in the army and ended up in military intelligence over in Vietnam.” “It wasn’t an easy thing to do at Harvard. I’d have to wear my uniform once a week to ROTC class,” he recalls. “I mean the whole campus was anti-Vietnam War, and it was not a popular stand.”

“I have quite a big family, so that’s a great consuming passion of mine,” he says. He and his wife Paula often visit their kids. And Zimbalist’s father, now 93, is “sharp as a tack,” Zimbalist says. “I see him every few weeks. He’s still out on the golf course and he just passed his driving test, which was controversial in my family,” Zimbalist says. While other children of Hollywood stars sometimes struggled, neglected by parents caught in the limelight, not Zimbalist. Zimbalist lost his mother when he was a small child, and his father remarried in 1956. He was close with both his father and stepmother. Zimbalist always had “excellent close relationships in his family,” Lamberson says, having been close friends with Zimbalist since Stevenson. “That helped make him sparkle, as far as I’m concerned. He was a happy, well-adjusted kid and always got along with everyone.” “He’s extremely close to his children and family. I mean extremely close,” Lamberson explains. “I think everything starts there for him.” And it does. Whether it’s his personal family, his family of magazines and businesses, or even his extended Stevenson family, for Zimbalist, whether he’s in Monaco or L.A., it always comes back to the basics — values, passion, and family.

PRESIDENT’S LETTER Dear Friends, The 2011–2012 school year ended in June on yet another high note as the graduating seniors said goodbye to their Stevenson classmates and prepared for their next adventure at a strong list of very well selected colleges. The eighth-grade class bid farewell to the Carmel Campus in anticipation of their move to the Pebble Beach Campus. They couldn’t have done it without you: parents, faculty, alumni role models, and financial supporters from all of our Stevenson family. We also marked the transition of some veteran leadership. Michele Grogan stepped away from Stevenson after 20 years, 13 as head of the Pebble Beach Campus, to become the new head of school at the Burke School in San Francisco. Frank Keith and Frank Stephenson both retired after a combined 65 years serving Stevenson students. We welcomed new leadership as Greg Foster returned to the Peninsula and Stevenson to take the reins as head of the Pebble Beach Campus after a terrific career as head of school at three different independent schools. In addition, we are also thrilled that Will Griffith ’89 has taken on the role of president of the Stevenson Alumni Association. And alumni John Steele ’66 and Don Dormer ’71 have joined the Stevenson Board of Trustees. All of these new leaders are focused on our mission to provide the very best environment for a challenging and rewarding experience for Stevenson students and families.

To that end, over the summer we made significant progress with the completion of projects, big and small, supported by the generosity of our Stevenson faithful. Curricular enhancements at the Carmel Campus, classroom and science lecture hall renovations, Douglas great room makeover, and Douglas Hall dorm room renovations were just a few of the projects. The largest and most visible initiative was completion of the new Barrows Hall residence and complete renovation of the entryway to the Pebble Beach Campus. This addition of 19 student beds and three faculty apartments allowed us to respond to the changing demographic of our student population, namely the declining number of high-school-age students on the Peninsula. Stevenson opened this school year with 290 boarding students and 230 day students. This planned shift represents the beginning of a return to Stevenson’s original mix of students, and could continue incrementally over the next 10 years. This does not represent a decline in the importance of our day students. Rather, we believe that enrolling and serving both the best and brightest students from our local community as well as the national/international pools is now more critical to the health of the entire Stevenson experience than ever before. Our coming initiatives focus on providing opportunities for our day and boarding students to have more authentic interaction with an exceptional faculty and with one another. The goal is to

create a dynamic learning and living environment. That goal includes the Carmel Campus, which continues its rise under the leadership of Molly Bozzo, our head of the Carmel Campus. Enrollment there has strengthened to near capacity, buoyed by curricular enhancements like the STEM science and math program, and by the engagement of an excited faculty. These well-prepared students will form the core of our incoming day classes at Pebble Beach, and we will continue to attract great students from other fine middle schools in our community. All of our plans, and more important, the dreams of our students, can become reality only with the support you have shown us time and again. These pages are filled with the names of Stevenson family members who share those dreams to “do our best” for the students of Stevenson School. For that, and on behalf of the Stevenson board, faculty, and students, I thank you. Sincerely,

Joe Wandke President, Stevenson School

INVESTING IN OUR TEACHERS Investing in our teachers and their continuing education means we are sustaining one of our most valuable assets for present and future Stevenson students. This past year, more than 44 faculty members pursued advanced degrees, attended professional conferences, or engaged in research in their respective fields. Support for this work comes from Stevenson’s 10 endowed funds and three annually supported funds for faculty enrichment. English teacher Michelle Black attended the Harvard Institute on College Admissions this past summer in preparation for her new role as college counselor. The weeklong professional development program, organized annually by the Harvard University Admissions Office and the College Board, draws attendees from high schools, colleges, and universities around the country. The institute is led by faculty from institutions such as the Horace Mann School (NYC), Milton Academy (PA), Brown University, the U.S. Naval Academy, Claremont McKenna College, Princeton University, and many more. Participants could choose from more than 40 sessions, ranging from how admissions decisions are made, financial implications of the current economy, recommendations, and understanding early decision/early action.

Michelle Black advises P.J. Maniatis ’14, Aram Berberian ’14, and Victoria (Tori) McKimmey ’14 in the college center

Ms. Black describes her experience: “Day after day, I was impressed by how open and approachable the institute’s faculty members were. I came away knowing that the men and women leading the admissions departments of some of the most selective schools in the nation are caring, sympathetic people. The perceived ‘business’ of college admissions did not ring true in the conversations I had. I learned so much at the institute; it was a pleasure and a true honor to attend.”

ENDOWED FUNDS FOR STUDENT SCHOLARS We have always believed that providing access to a Stevenson education to qualified student scholars through need-based financial aid creates a school environment that more closely reflects our diverse world. In the school year that just ended, 23.9 percent of the Stevenson student body received some level of financial assistance; overall, the school committed $2.8 million to that initiative through 22 endowed funds and three annually supported named grants. Connor Loken ’13, a senior from Tracy, California, makes the most of every minute at Stevenson. He is a member of the Varsity Water Polo team, head prefect of Day-Boys Residence Hall, and a Green Key Head, one of three student leaders of a corps of volunteer student guides who welcome prospective students to Stevenson. Describing his own first visit, Conner remembers: “When I stepped on campus almost four years ago, I knew this was where I belonged. I felt welcomed; it was an overwhelming feeling.” Connor has a passion for all things outdoors, including camping and rock climbing, and has been a co-leader of the Sophomore Wilderness Expo — a 10th-grade rite of passage that builds teamwork and cooperation. He is also a high-achieving student. “Education is very important to my family, and I am grateful for the trust Stevenson put in me to be able to fulfill my parents’ dream.” Connor, who ranks math just above science as his favorite area of study, hopes to attend the Virginia Military Institute, with the goal of becoming an officer in the U.S. Marine Corps.

CARMEL CAMPUS STEM CURRICULUM Stevenson’s Carmel Campus is again breaking new ground with the introduction of STEM, an integrated Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math curriculum. Unique among area peer schools, Stevenson’s STEM program draws on the latest educational research and teaching methodology in each of those fields. Combined with real-world applications, STEM is designed to make learning more accessible and relevant for our students, while providing them with lifelong learning skills. The new curriculum is a natural extension of Stevenson’s rigorous inquiry-based approach to learning that distinguishes our Grades PK – 4 educational program. By continually encouraging development of critical thinking skills, the STEM model enables students to identify and ask questions essential to any learning experience at any level of education: middle school, high school, and beyond. As part of the new program, Grade 6 students engage in Bridge Building to incorporate their knowledge of geometry and engineering as they assess structural strength and load capacities. Classroom appearances by local engineers will reinforce the real-world applications. Students will learn to revise their hypotheses as needed. With Rocket Launch, Grade 5 and Grade 6 students build their math and science skills as they develop and revise hypotheses and measurements regarding

launch angles over multiple launch attempts. Students will document their progress through creation of laptop videos. Other STEM units that encourage critical thinking and applied skills include Wild Weather and Tower of Straws. As Mrs. Kirsten Matsumoto, a member of Stevenson’s new STEM team, points out, “In many schools, teachers only dream of collaborating on this scale. Stevenson actually makes it possible and we know it’s in our students’ best interests.”

CAPITAL GIFTS FOR CARMEL CAMPUS The impact of annual gifts to the Stevenson Fund can be seen throughout the Carmel Campus. When elementary students returned to school this fall, they discovered an updated playground, complete with new play structures, rubberized flooring, a new sandbox, and a tricycle track for safe riding. Inside, another middle school classroom was transformed by the addition of a Harkness table, designed to promote active student involvement and collaborative learning. The large oval table replaces traditional individual desks to encourage participation by all students. Other additions to the Carmel Campus include three new teak benches and 11 new umbrellas for the patios outside the classrooms, creating a pleasant, shady lunch area for students and staff.

2012 ALUMNI MAGAZINE

ALUMNI AWARDS THE SAMUEL KAHN AWARD The Samuel Kahn Award was established at Stevenson in 1964 by Mrs. Rosalind Kahn in honor of her husband, “to recognize and encourage the work and promise of youth.” Three of their grandchildren graduated from Stevenson: Steve Gardner ’67, Tom Gardner ’69, and Peter Margolis ’72. The Award is given each year to a member of the 10th Reunion Class who in doing his best and pursuing his passion exemplifies the values the School teaches. Although given to one person, Mrs. Kahn wanted to recognize all members of the Class of 2002 for the great things they have done and the great things they will continue to do in the future. This year’s recipient studied Political Science at Middlebury College, swam on the Varsity Swim Team, was a member of the club water polo team that competed in the National Championship, and participated in two internships, one with a member of Congress in Washington, the other with the U.S. State Department in the Economics Section of the U.S. Embassy in Buenos Aires. After graduating from Middlebury he joined the U.S. Marines and served in Iraq. He is currently stationed in Washington and is a Captain and Counterintelligence/Human Intelligence Officer. One of his proudest moments was gathering intelligence that led to the recovery of U.S. Navy Captain Speicher in 2009, (Iraq’s longest “Missing in Action” case). For the past 21 months he has been working toward an MA degree in Security Studies at Georgetown. This year’s recipient of the Samuel Kahn Award is Austin Krissoff of the Class of 2002. THE DAY FAMILY AWARD FOR CONTRIBUTIONS TO STEVENSON The Day Family Award was established by The Alumni Association in 2004 to recognize alumni for their contributions to the School and to honor the Day family. Starting in the mid-1950s and at every significant moment in our history, Willametta Keck Day and her sons Robert ’61, Matthew ’63, and T.J. ’66 have been instrumental in Stevenson’s development. The Day Family Award was established by The Alumni Association in 2004 to recognize alumni for their contributions to the School and to honor the Day family. Indeed, it is hard to imagine what Stevenson would be without them.

STEVENSON SCHOOL

This year’s recipients embody the spirit of giving and support that every great school cherishes among its alumni. Whether calling their class together on a regular basis, or participating in school-related events, or supporting the school financially year in and year out, or serving the school in important capacities, or looking out for the Stevenson sons of a deceased classmate, these two represent everything every great school could hope for from its alumni. This year’s recipients of the Day Family Award for Contributions to Stevenson are Jeff Anderson and Charlie Bates, of the Class of 1972. THE MERLE GREENE ROBERTSON AWARD FOR SERVICE TO SOCIETY The Merle Greene Robertson Award was established by The Alumni Association in 2003 to recognize alumni for their service to society. Merle taught anthropology at Stevenson from 1968 to 1977 and took students to the Yucatan Peninsula to explore and record Mayan art and artifacts. Her thousands of rubbings are housed at the Main Library at Tulane University. She was a proponent of experiential education before it became popular; it remains an important aspect of a Stevenson education today. It isn’t often that The Stevenson Alumni Association has an opportunity to embrace a non-graduate, nor will it often be the case again that a non-graduate will have served the society we know as Stevenson with as much grace and distinction, and over so many years, as this year’s Robertson Award recipient. He came here in 1962 to help Mr. Ricklefs manage his fast-developing school. And over the course of 50 years he took on myriad responsibilities and projects, including educational policy, faculty development, the summer camp, admission, alumni relations, college counseling, and most recently the School’s history; and left them in solid working order for his successor. His service to thousands of us over those years, in so many personal and formal capacities, cannot be fully documented or recognized, but it is certainly within the purview of The Alumni Association of Stevenson School to honor this man who has given so much to us over such a long period of time. Frank B. Keith is the 2012 recipient of the Merle Greene Robertson Award for Service to Society.

STEVENSON FUND REUNION YEAR GIVING AWARDS LINDSAY JEFFERS ’65 ALUMNI FACULTY AWARD FOR REUNION PARTICIPATION The Alumni Faculty Award is presented to the reunion class with the highest percentage of attendees at Reunion Weekend. Lindsay Jeffers reflects the most important relationship at Stevenson; the one between the faculty and their students. A Stevenson alumni faculty member for 45 years, Lindsay has shown through his own participation that staying connected with classmates and the School enriches both community and the individual. This award celebrates our alumni who return home to reconnect with each other and with Stevenson. 2012 recipient: Class of 1967 FRANK KEITH COMMUNITY AWARD FOR NEW DONORS The Community Award honors the reunion class with the highest percentage of new donors to the Stevenson Fund during its reunion year. As a fixture in the Stevenson community since 1962, Frank Keith has touched student and alumni lives and continues to demonstrate that pitching in and giving back does make a difference. Mr. Keith has always inspired people to look beyond themselves and to give back to their community, as he has with his long-time support of the school’s annual fund. This award honors his sense of philanthropy and community and acknowledges the class which has most inspired new alumni to give back. 2012 recipient: Class of 2007 JOE WANDKE PRESIDENT’S AWARD FOR CLASS PARTICIPATION The President’s Award recognizes the reunion class with the highest percentage of giving during its reunion year. Since 1983 Joe Wandke has continued the work begun by Robert Ricklefs and Gordon Davis, with the help of alumni and other supporters, to build Stevenson into the school it is today. Joe Wandke has long championed alumni causes and values the leadership that alumni have shown throughout Stevenson’s history. The President’s Award for Class Participation honors this leadership and support. 2012 recipient: Class of 1977

CAPITAL PROJECTS FOR PEBBLE BEACH CAMPUS The completion of Barrows Hall adjacent to the school’s visitors’ reception area in Douglas Hall created an opportunity during the past year to improve the safety, functionality, and appearance of the campus entry. The reconfigured entry drive encircles a central lawn, new home to the Stevenson flag pole. Three clearly marked lanes separate drop-offs from drivethroughs, reducing confusion and increasing safety for our

students and visitors. The newly paved and landscaped arrival court was ready for day students and their families on the first day of school in September. The added benefit of the new campus entry is the enhanced first impression of Stevenson that it gives to prospective families and visitors as a welcoming, open community.

SPECIAL PROJECTS: SCIENCE LECTURE HALL Science students and teachers at Stevenson returned to a refurbished lecture hall in the Lindsley Science Center this fall. Better lighting, more comfortable and durable seating, and a more teacher-friendly lecture desk complete with a computer docking station all contribute to more efficient learning. In addition, the room’s tables now have electrical outlets and will 62

STEVENSON SCHOOL

be equipped with inductive charging pads to allow cordless recharging. Eventually, any laptop with Qi (pronounced chee)enabled batteries will recharge as it sits on the table. Science department chair Mark Tretter describes the changes as “a wonderful upgrade in appearance and functionality.”

SPECIAL PROJECTS: RUN IN THE FOREST The 15th annual Run in the Forest attracted nearly 300 runners and walkers to the Del Monte Forest in September for a 5K walk/run and a 10K run. This community-building event celebrates the start of the Stevenson school year and brings together young and old, fast and slow from all over the Monterey Peninsula. The race concludes with a celebratory brunch buffet in Reid Hall. This event is possible due to the generosity of its sponsors, participants, and volunteers. 68

Garth Harley ’79

1960 Jon Akselsen ’60: I have lived more than 40 years behind the Redwood Curtain in the far north of coastal California and finally an Akselsen has ventured south to one of the most beautiful, vibrant places on earth. My beautiful, talented daughter Alice has entered Stevenson as a freshman this year. I am thrilled that she will be able to take advantage of the educational and cultural opportunities that the school and the area provide! Mike Zelinsky ‘60: Joann and I just finished a 6,519-mile road trip, from San Francisco to Elk Rapids, Michigan and back. We took in (among many other places) Grand Teton National Park, Yellowstone, the Black Hills and Glacier National Park. Our two-day stay in South Dakota’s Black Hills was interesting, to say the least, in that we shared our stay

in Deadwood, SD, with some 700,000 motorcyclists, who were there for the annual Sturgis Motorcycle Rally! Tattoos, leathers, potbellies, gray ponytails, and white beards galore. It’s not a young man’s game, that’s for sure. And, I might add, we met nothing but the nicest people while on the road, including those mean-looking bikers!

1962 Mark Beales ’62: After graduating from RLS, I attended the University of Puget Sound in Tacoma, WA, where I met my wife of 45 years, Juliann. I had a wonderful time at UPS but flunked out in my senior year (playing too much bridge). I did my stint with Uncle Sam for 33 months, basic at Ft. Ord, OJT at 6th Army HQ Data Processing at the Presidio in San Francisco, 13 months in Seoul, Korea at 8th Army HQ, finishing up my last 15

months at the personnel center at Ft. Lewis, near Tacoma, processing returnees from ‘Nam. I finished my last semester at UPS, finally receiving my BA in Bus & Econ in 1969. For the next 10 years, we lived in Tacoma, moving to Mill Creek (17 miles north of Seattle) in August 1979. I spent my working career as a mortgage banker in the greater Puget Sound area with two S & L’s, a savings bank, and a mortgage insurance company, where I was involved with all aspects of mortgage lending, finally calling it quits in June 1997. During my working career, I graduated from the School of Mortgage Banking at Northwestern and attended the Graduate School of Mortgage Banking at Indiana/Purdue. In 1993, between employers, I spent three months in Warsaw, Poland working for Fannie Mae on a World Bank project. The highlight of my mortgage banking career was being awarded the Certified

Mark Beales ’62

Mortgage Banker (CMB) designation from the Mortgage Bankers Association of America in October 1995. Since retiring in 1997, I’ve been involved with assorted volunteer activities, having served three years on the Board of Solutions, Inc. (formerly known as Consumer Credit Counseling of Seattle), 10 years on the Snohomish County Board of Equalization (BOE) hearing appeals of property assessments, four years on the City of Mill Creek Planning Commission, four years on the Washington State Boundary Review Board (BRB) for Snohomish County (it hears contested annexation petitions from cities in the county), and volunteering with the Mill Creek Community Association for the past 28 years, serving on many committees and twice on their board. With term limits forcing me off the BOE in April 2008, the BOE board hired me as a hearing examiner in January 2009 to help them with the volume of commercial property assessment appeals, so my two hearings a month earn me some pocket change to use for our travels. I was reappointed to the Boundary Review Board last year and serve as chair this year. I found the trick to volunteering one’s time is finding organizations that will work around

With our son and daughter and their spouses living nearby, we are fortunate being able to see them and our four grandchildren often. Retirement has afforded us the time to spend more time with family and friends and to travel both here and abroad. Travel has given us wonderful memories, which will bide us well when we can no longer travel, assuming we still have the ability to remember our travels. Life is good!

John Lyddon ’71: “Necessity Is the Mother of Invention.” How many of you find yourselves thinking, “There’s gotta be a better way?” I say, “ACT ON IT!!” You never know what cool idea might turn into a patented product. A teacher once taught me about the three “P’s”: Patience, Persistence, and Perseverance. I say: follow your instincts, feel the pulse, embrace the passion. In my case, there was the need, I followed my instincts, and invented a new product. Check it out at www.starhilljawz.com.

Veronica is a budding artist with her works on display at school and at the Belmont public library. Elena was Ralston Intermediate School President, and her Girls 14-1 power volleyball team qualified for the National Jr. Olympic Tournament last June in Columbus, OH. I am going on 10 years with SanDisk Inc., serving as a Director of WW Operations. One of my primary responsibilities is to serve as a liaison into our Legal Department — nothing beats the entertainment value of teaching semiconductor engineering and memory product life cycle to a room full of lawyers. I am fortunate to travel worldwide pursuant to my job duties. I also recruit engineers and MBA graduates on behalf of SanDisk Inc. at my alma mater, Cornell University. Thank you, RLS, especially Frank Keith, for supporting me and providing guidance during my rather recalcitrant youth. I would not be where I am today without that guidance.

Taking people on tandem skydives, participating in large formation records and air shows also remains a first aviation love, with over 4,200 jumps now logged. I was honored not only to take classmate Peter Young ’79 on a tandem during our 30th RLS reunion, but his daughter Alexandra this past spring. And classmate Richard Alfaro’s ’79 fine wines also provide a nice break from all the focus and responsibility.

I also play professionally in ensembles and as a soloist as well as volunteering in various settings.

I graduated from Colorado College (‘88) with a BA in English and earned an MS in Pre-Medicine at the University of Colorado. I received my MD from the University of Colorado - Health Sciences Center in 1999 and went on to complete my residency in Family Practice at the University of Minnesota - Duluth. Prior to practicing in Wyoming, I was in practice in Red Lodge, Montana. A recent visit to Stevenson was highlighted by spending some time with Coach Young and attending a lacrosse game.

I opened up a new real estate office in Mid Valley Shopping Center next to Safeway and have several agents in my office. My company name is New Century Real Estate, Inc.

My son will go to Japanese school during that time; his Japanese is already pretty good at 2 1/2, and I’m excited to be able to give him this opportunity.

ALUMNI @LARGE nestled in a beautiful valley on 12 acres of horse property. I count myself as one of those fortunate few who have finally found the elusive balance between family and work. Although my academic career focused on Equine Science from Colorado State University, mortgage banking is what I do during the week so I can go home to be with my family and pursue another passion, being a professional rodeo cowboy and team roper. What a sight to see — a mortgage banker in jeans and boots! Two worlds may have collided, but they actually mesh together and have much more in common than one would think. Horsemanship has taught me a lot about myself, about being a husband, a father, and about my career. When working horses, I constantly have to be aware of being as gentle as possible but firm when necessary. The same applies in both personal and professional life, always being aware of when to put others first above my emotions or ego. That creates a trust Ryder and Colette, children of Dana Bambace ’91

and loyalty, which eventually turns into a productive and profitable relationship. I have applied the Stevenson motto “to do your best, take risks, act responsibly, respect myself and others.” This has fueled success in both my professional and my personal endeavors. As the president of Castle & Cooke Mortgage, LLC, a national residential mortgage bank, I enjoy providing opportunities and careers not only for employees, but being able to participate in financing the American dream of home ownership. I admire what a professional horse trainer, Buck Brannaman, once said: “Whether you have horses, dogs, or kids, with that comes a great responsibility. You have to be able to teach them to get along in the world.” I accept that responsibility every day I awake, and it has served me well.

Rachael Williams ’06: I graduated with a B.S. in Marine Biology from UC Santa Cruz in 2011. I transitioned straight from the classroom to the lab, joining the staff of an intertidal marine ecology lab headed by Dr. Peter Raimondi at the beautiful Long Marine Lab in Santa Cruz. In this position, I have been collecting long-term monitoring data that serves many functions. Some of these functions are: supporting the implementation of Marine Protected Areas, monitoring and implementing legislature to protect endangered species like black abalone, and giving Natural Resource Damage Assessments the ability to find companies legally responsible for ecosystem-damaging activities, like oil spills, and make those companies pay for the restoration of damaged areas! In addition to this monitoring work, I have been the researcher responsible for the Santa Cruz-based sites involved in an NFS funded study looking at the effects of ocean acidification on calcareous intertidal invertebrates, the purple urchin and the California mussel, within the California Current upwelling system in California and Oregon. When I am not tiptoeing through the algae-covered

2005 William Hertlein ’05: I am now an associate with Norwest Venture Partners, a venture capital firm in Palo Alto, CA, where I focus on early- to late-stage investments in the Infrastructure/ Enterprise spaces. Amanda Laska ’05: I am currently a fourth-year medical student at the Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences in Bethesda, MD, where I am training to become an Army physician. I am applying for anesthesia residency now, and hope to be selected for the Walter Reed National Military Medical Center program. I have enjoyed my time in medical school and with the Army, and feel that the education I received at Stevenson and UC Berkeley have prepared me well to become an Army anesthesiologist. 78

STEVENSON SCHOOL

2008 Sarah Johnson ’08: I graduated from UC Santa Barbara in June 2012 and am currently pursuing a Master’s of Science in Human Resource Management at Golden Gate University in San Francisco. In addition, I hope to find a job in my field and continue my extracurricular work in writing and food blogging. Rachael Williams ’06

Clare McKendry ’08: Having graduated from Carnegie Mellon University in May 2012 with a major in Creative Writing and minors in Gender Studies and Computer Science, I will continue my education this Fall (August) at Santa Clara University School of Law. Billy Falor, Stevenson class of 2006, is starting here at SCU with me! And my sister Anna, of the most recent graduating class of 2012, will be attending Santa Clara for her undergraduate education. Jaclyn Newman ’08: I graduated from Boston University in May with honors. I received a Bachelor’s of Science in Journalism, magna cum laude, and a Bachelor’s of Arts in Psychology, cum laude with distinction. My senior honors thesis, “Psycho-social influences on academic motivation in a college aged cohort” studied the relationship between academic success, happiness, and types of academic motivation. As a secondary research question, I also examined the lifestyle factors that influence the type of academic motivation employed. After graduation, I moved to Seattle with my boyfriend William Lally, also Class of 2008, where I started a Ph.D. program in School Psychology at the University of Washington, and William began a job as a payload specialist engineer at Boeing. We spend most of our free time going for hikes with our two puppies West and Rainier. William Lally ’08: I received a Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering with a concentration in Aerospace Engineering from Boston University in May. My senior design project was an amphibious commuter plane named the Aquaflyer. I graduated magna cum laude. After graduation, I moved to Seattle with my girlfriend Jaclyn Newman ’08.

2009 Karin Barbara Nilsson’09: Currently, I am enrolled in the Physical Therapy Program at Lund University in Sweden. I will graduate after spring semester with a license, and I am really excited about that! I am active within the student

body and represent the physical therapy department in international affairs. Outside of school, I lead gym classes for senior citizens and I have completed several courses in massage. I typically travel within Europe at least twice a year and have many more places I want to see. This summer I had the opportunity to participate in the Summer Undergraduate Research Program at the University of Texas Medical Branch (UTMB) in Galveston. I created my own research project involving spinal cord injuries coupled to chronic pain. The program ended with a poster presentation and I won first prize in Cell Biology Graduate Program Award (Neurosciences). I was very pleased with the result, especially considering that I have been speaking mainly Swedish for the past three years. The project results will be presented at the Society for Neuroscience meeting in October 2012, and later published in a neuroscience journal. I will continue to work with my group and participate in writing the paper, since I was the one who accumulated the most subject knowledge. It was a great experience and I learned a lot about rehabilitation of patients following spinal cord injury. Neurological rehabilitation is one of the areas within physical therapy that interests me the most. My future plans are to work for a couple of years in Sweden and then pursue my Doctorate in Physical Therapy at UTMB.

2010 Sam Wilcoxon ’10: I just launched an iPhone app in the App Store called Slice. We’re all used to sharing being an “everyone” or “no one” game – either sit back and mindlessly scroll through the news feed or share with a few hundred “friends” too many. But should wanting to share with a few really mean having to share with all? Of course not. Hence Slice. Slice is where you can share the right stuff with the right people.

2012 Helena Cho ’12: Since as early as I can remember, I have always felt it was my duty to give back to those less fortunate than me. I am now the founder and lead designer of my own company, Good Work(s) Make a Difference (www.goodworksmakeadifference.com), and am happy to say that I have been given precisely that opportunity. As of early 2011, Good Work(s) has dedicated itself to pledging 25 percent of its net profit to organizations that support inneed communities around the world. In addition, I have tried to design fashionforward merchandise that encourages people to be more generous and socially conscious. The feedback I have received has been nothing short of amazing. Through the success of my products, I have had the opportunity to work on some truly amazing projects. This year, the company is working on furnishing over 100 homes for the homeless, is planning on arranging events for financially disadvantaged students, and is collaborating with diverse organizations to support orphans. The experiences I’ve shared as a result of this venture have changed my life. I want to thank Stevenson for giving me the tools necessary to succeed, and influencing my commitment to giving. We really can make a difference!

2012 ALUMNI MAGAZINE

THE INSIDE SCOOP Greg Foster, head of the Pebble Beach Campus, is nearly halfway through his first year back at Stevenson after a 17-year period during which he held leadership positions for several other independent schools. Following a format known as the Proust Questionnaire, the Stevenson Alumni Magazine recently asked Greg a few probing questions to delve into his intellect and character. What is your idea of perfect happiness? Easy: teaching history at RLS. What is your greatest fear? Mispronouncing a student’s name at graduation! Which historical figure do you most identify with? I’ve always admired Abraham Lincoln. I even arranged to be born on his birthday.

What is your greatest regret? Like Edith Piaf, “Je ne regrette rien.” I have been incredibly fortunate. When and where were you happiest? Teaching history at Stevenson (got the name right this time?) with Jim Scott, Dale Hinckley, and Bob Henderson. What is your current state of mind? Relaxed alertness!

What do you consider the most overrated virtue? I concur with Dr. Johnson that “a foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds.”

What do you consider your greatest achievement? Easy: my beautiful wife Pati, and our three sterling children.

Which living person do you most despise? Neither Oliver Stone nor Kevin Costner are my favorites.

If you could choose what to come back as, what would it be? Vin Scully. As a kid (and as a middle-aged man) I longed to be the voice of the Dodgers.

STEVENSON SCHOOL

What is your most treasured possession? My mother’s Westminster Camelback clock, which sat regally on the mantel of my childhood home. What do you most value in your friends? That they be good listeners (that’s a joke). Who are your favorite writers? Abraham Lincoln, Jacques Barzun, Paul Johnson, Darrin MacMahon ’84, and since we lived in Boulder, the mystery writer Steven White. Who are your heroes in real life? My Mom and my Dad, who allowed me to have a college education; and my wife, the real brains of the outfit. What is your motto? “Not to act is cowardice; all action is flawed.”
