The cancer, which resurfaced in March, did not respond to extensive treatment in the spring and summer. Philip and I grew up together in Old Westbury, and we both look back on those days with great happiness and are pleased we survived all the mischievous things we did together. Green Vale was an important part of

Friends of Philip C. Iglehart his life and he had fond memories of all of you and spoke often of the events and people in school with him. Philip was a great people-person and he will be missed by a long list of admiring friends, such as us.” (above) Anita Lihme Keefe

“Greetings to all from sunny Sarasota. What a year this has been! My husband, Jim, and I fled Sarasota a year ago, thinking we’d rather be quarantined in our cottage in Michigan than spend a summer in Florida. So there we were, cozily ensconced in the north woods. We actually enjoyed ourselves quite a bit, and after observing strict safety protocols, we’re able to spend lots of time with my daughters (from Chicago and nearby Michigan) and grandchildren. By mid-January, we both began our vaccinations, and after the second one, and the two-week wait, we felt safe to travel. And this just in – it seems New York State has lifted its quarantine restrictions, so it looks as if we can finally go home to Buffalo! So, so far we are safe and well and certainly hope the same can be said of all of you who are reading this.” ’69

“This year my non-profit organization, Artists for Wildlife Conservation, was able to have two online fundraisers. Over the summer, we raised funds for both the International Fund for Animal Welfare, and Greater Boston Food Bank. More recently, we had a hugely successful online fundraiser/auction for Rainforest Action Network, and raised almost $10,000. We were also able to happily donate some of these funds to the Center for Rehabilitation of Wildlife, in Durban, South Africa. I have been co-writing songs with an old friend and attempted my first multi screen recording with a Bluegrass song and synced it to a video called “Shelter at My Place.” A couple of months later, we managed to record a Bluegrass song and synced it with a video called “Shenandoah Girl.” We are currently working on a song called “Long and Low,” Americana/pop/rock, or something. And if everyone in our band is vaccinated by the end of April, we get to record in an actual studio which would be awesome. I got to see my daughter at Christmas for the first time in over a year.” Marian E. Lindberg

“I relocated to Boston with my two sons at the end of January 2020; new state, new town, new schools mid-year with temporary quarters the size of a mouse house. Little did any of us know that within six to eight weeks, all schools would be dismissed and we’d be under orders to ’quarantine in place’. A teenager’s nightmare; being dropped from silver bird into a shoebox with no friends, no family, no school, nor any other activities whatsoever and your mom! Yikes! Happy to say we’re still here, in a new apartment and school on hybrid. Charles and Payson grew a foot taller, mustaches, and huge feet! Now, 14-year-old young men. We’re all stir-crazy, and I just had my vaccine. So, ready to hit the road (and feeling very blessed). Cheers to us all! Deirdre Pennoyer Nadai

“I live a mile away from my parents’ old place, so I didn’t get very far. My wife Paula and I have four kids, all teenagers. Three of them have flown the coop and are away at school, so the house is getting eerily quiet. We have a couple of dogs in the mix plus chickens. Our kids all went to GVS, and all managed to have Mr. Zaloom, who retired last year. He is one of the all-time greats. Basically, all good on my front.“ Philip A. DeCicco, Jr.

“I still live on Long Island in Garden

City with my wife and two kids - the oldest is headed to college next fall. I work as a lawyer in the energy field.” W. Scott Essex III

“I live in New Canaan, Connecticut, after stints in Washington D.C., London, and Switzerland. I’m married with three kids (ages 19, 17, and 14) and work for a Swiss-based investment firm. Fortunately, I see a handful of GVS folks every now and again. Dylan P. Ade ’88, John N. Fredericks ’88, Ashley Gilmor Myles ’88, Thomas W. Grant, Jr. ’89, Gilbert L. Rotchford, Jr. ’89, and I recently played an ‘LIstrong’ paddle tennis match.” John N. Fredericks

“I have four girls (ages 7, 10, 12, and 14). Two at Green Vale and two at Locust Valley.” Nina McShane Gardiner

“I have lived in Sun Valley, Idaho for almost 20 years. My husband and I have three kids (ages 15, 13, and 5). We love the mountain lifestyle and are grateful to live in such a beautiful place. I work from home for Beautycounter. Ironically, Head of School Jesse Dougherty was my classmate at Kenyon College. He was, and I am sure still is, a really great human being!” “I have a high school senior and triplets who are 14 years old and in public school. I didn’t get very far and live around the corner from where I grew up.” Jenny Funk Levy

“I’m living in Hanover, New Hampshire, we’ve been in the area for 19 years. I’ve got a husband (Campbell), a 16year-old (Mack) and a 14-year-old (Kate). I work at an employee-owned global industrial manufacturer based here and I love it, although a pandemic is not a great time to also run HR for a global company. I get to do a ton of outdoorsiness up here, which is a lucky joy.” Marisa Marcantonio

“After 20+ great years in New York City, I recently moved to Southport, Connecticut, where my family moved back in 1985. Hello leafy suburbs, I am very happy to be here! Life is good – I am at an e-commerce startup for home decor called Chairish. I just love it and many Green Vale alumni are interior designers, and luckily, I run into them all the time! Linda Gardiner was one of my favorite teachers, and it’s amazing to think about how many children she’s inspired and encouraged along the way. ” Alexandra B. Mummery

“After graduating from Columbia, where I was an NCAA All American in fencing, I competed for the New York Athletic Club/United States of America for a number of years at national and international competitions. I followed a relationship out to the Bay Area in California, and I’ve been living here for about 20 years. I have no kids (phew!), two cats, and a partner, Mike. Before COVID-19, I was playing soccer at least five days per week, but that has ground to a halt. I work in book publishing as a managing editor.” Whitney D. Pidot, Jr.

“All is well in Minneapolis. The notion of having outdoor sports start right after spring break doesn’t work so well when it’s still snowing. I hear a lot about Green Vale these days since I have three nephews there. I am jealous of the fully in-person classes which GVS students are enjoying this year. My 7th Grade daughter here only has in-person school two days a week, and two of the at-home days are completely non-interactive.” Daisy Phipps Pulito

“I live in Lexington, Kentucky. I’m married and have two sons, ages 9 and 10. I’m a two-time breast cancer survivor –all healthy now. I manage my family’s racing stable. We have lived here about 12 years and love it.” Katherine Davidson Soter

“I live here in Los Angeles with my husband and two kids (ages 14 and 11). We’ve been out here for about 16 years and love it - other than during wildfire season which got a little too close for comfort this year. I’m a social worker, currently trying to be a writer. I’m also a full time travel sports mom – which is insane.” Meredith B. Spink

“After living all around the world I’m back on Long Island living in Glen Cove. I’m a Medical Esthetician doing all skincare and Lymphatic Drainage Massages, extremely happy in my career.”

William “Ben” Tabler III

Ben, his wife (Emily), and their 3-yearold daughter (Tessa) recently moved back to Locust Valley where Ben tele commutes as IP counsel for a Silicon Valley company. Ethan Vickery

“My wife, 3-year-old (Oli), and I are in Manhattan where I have been for the last 20+ years, not much family left in Locust Valley so make it out maybe once a year, but would definitely make the trip for a reunion once life returns to normal.”

Andrew Vitrano

“I live in Bronxville, New York with my wife, Margaret, our two boys, Emery (age 13) and Knox (age 11), and our Rhodesian Ridgeback, Bourbon (age four). I bump into Head of School Jesse Dougherty on occasion because our boys play on the United States junior squash circuit. Margaret, Bourbon, and I will be spending more time in Florida as the boys attempt junior boarding school at Eaglebrook in Deerfield, Massachusetts this fall. As for career, I am a corporate and securities lawyer but more recently started a software company that helps manage the affairs of corporate boards.” Faisel M. Zaman

“Texas is nuts right now. Thankfully my family and most friends are safe.” Sam J. Zarou, Jr.

“We have three kids, Sammy age 14, Davis (girl) age 12, and Taylor (boy) age 12 – they are twins. Twins are at GVS and Sammy is at Buckley.”

Samuel A. Winkler: Princetontiger1@outlook.com Serena C. Saad: saadserena66@gmail.com Ava and Serena Saad ’19 were involved with the Witness Project 2020 film, a year-long collaborative process between the Witness Project students and Holocaust survivors. The Witness Project empowers students to give life to the stories of Holocaust survivors so that we never forget the tragedies that took place. Ava and Serena were able to form valuable relationships with the survivors and helped share their stories throughout their time working on the project. They both remain active members of the program. Ava notes that “by telling the stories to younger generations, the survivors are creating witnesses who make sure that their stories live on. The program emphasizes that we understand what hate can do if we do not try to combat it.”
