Mason Wells writes: “Spent some amazing summer weekends with Tom Reynolds, Richard Walsh, and Dorothy Van Gerbig. All spectacular venues for our families to spend some time together at Lake George, Martha’s Vineyard, and Middlebury, Vt. Rode the Kelly Brush Foundation 20-mile charity bike ride up at Middlebury College a few weekends ago. Polly Boswell Wakeman ’81 joined with her family for the 50-mile ride. Thanks to my SPS ’80 pals who donated to my team and to the $711,000 total raised for this one event! Dorothy crushed it on donations while mending her knee from surgery this year. My daughter, Elizabeth ’17, just started junior year at Brown University and is off to Granada, Spain, for the back half of the year, majoring in public health. My son, George, is still working at Barclay’s in N.Y.C. and living in Stuyvesant Town area. Loving our fun house in the woods of North Stamford, Conn. Come visit anytime.”
From Gifford West: “Myriam, the three kids, and I are alive and well and living in Beverly Farms, Mass. I’m still at DebtX and Myriam’s latest production is a new play she has co-written on the Salem Witch Trials, opening October 17 in Beverly – Saltonstall’s Trial – don’t miss it! Planning on a sailing trip with Eldon Scott, Dave Nelson, and Rich Perkins in September.”
Pat McCormick writes: “Hard to believe our 40th is coming up. My wife, Tracey, and I reside in Falls Church, Va., just outside the nation’s capital. I work in fundraising for the American Institute of Cancer Research and Tracey works in technology services with Deloitte. Our son, Patrick, recently graduated as a physics major from the University of Virginia, in UVA’s bicentennial class, and has moved in with us, at least until he finds gainful employment. Our daughter, Amanda, has moved to Atlanta, where she is a sophomore at Oglethorpe University, with major TBD.”
This from Ben Potter: “Dave Nelson, Bill Stride, and I had a great day of golf in New Hampshire recently and we managed to get quite a few shots in between discussions of their new grandchildren, hearing aids, back injuries, and a plethera of old-guy ailments and remedies. When the competition got tight, we swung like we were 18 again and that, my friends, is all that matters. The winner will remain a mystery. Hope all is well with everyone in the class of ’80.”
Sally Scott writes: “After six years in Iowa, I’m enjoying being back in Baltimore, closer to family and friends on the East Coast. In addition to consulting on community development issues, I just started as director of a master’s program in community leadership at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County. The program is brand new, so I have my hands full meeting faculty, staff, and students, and creating links to nonprofit organizations. Our sons are living in Brooklyn and Queens, so I am developing a new appreciation for the outer boroughs of N.Y.C.”
Some great updates above – keep them coming for next issue! Mark your calendars for our 40th reunion on the weekend of May 29, 2020. Get back on campus for some memories and laughs with our classmates.

Erika Zuckerberg Christakis sent this update on her family: “I am delighted to report that my husband, Nicholas, and I have adopted our nine-year-old son, Orien Patrick Theodore Christakis, on August 30, 2019. We were foster parents to this brave little boy for the past two years and are so happy to make our parental relationship official. He joins our older children, Sebastian (27), Lysander (24), and Eleni (22).”
West Coast “stringer” Brooke Southall gathered up the following tidbits for me: “I just had a party to celebrate the 10th anniversary of my company in August. I gave a talk explaining why old-fashioned journalism sold online is still a good business in 2019, though you won’t go on vacation much. I had lunch yesterday with Alex Krongard, who is settling well into the civilian San Francisco life. I tried to convince him to move to Sausalito. I spent a week with Sam Reid at the end of the summer and saw how far his life saving station restoration advanced in 2019. I got to help him scout a nearby lighthouse, where he may lend a hand. Ned Doubleday headed up a marina district event for his company, Freestone Capital, in a cool bar as his firm (under Ned) expands to San Francisco from its big Seattle base. Along with more conventional investing, Freestone has a ‘recession-proof’ play on buying barrels of bourbon in Kentucky direct from distillers that had the crowd engaged. Adam Young remains my mentor in my pursuit of a doctorate in the psychology of the conservative mind in constant Facebook communications.” Brooke also found a mention of Robert Stubbs, an economist who is advocating for economic policy changes in Bermuda to address the high rate of pension savings being invested in foreign economies. Peter Paine spent time at the family abode on Lake Champlain in August, which doubled as a small SPS gathering with brother Alex Paine ’87 and good friends Rob Garrett ’85 and Holly Sanderson Garrett ’87.

Janie, Amanda, and I are enjoying life in Reading, Mass. Janie is a vice president of business development for Willmott & Associates, Amanda just started a new job as an officer of major gifts at Beth Israel Hospital, and I am still at State Street, looking at the last leg of a 32-year career and counting. I continue to indulge my love of landscaping and hopefully will get to replace the two-hour commutes with my landscaping hobby in a few years. I just finished picking and packaging over 100 pounds of peaches from my yard and delivering them to the fire stations, the police station, the gas station, the convenience store, two gyms, and State Street Corporation. The remaining peaches will feed the plethora of rabbits anxiously awaiting me to drop a few from the tree as I pick them.
Heid E. Erdrich’s poetry manuscript, Little Big Bully, is a 2019 National Poetry Series Award winner and will be published by Penguin in the fall of 2020. Her recent anthology, New Poets of Native Nations, won an American Book Award for 2019.
Augusta Read Thomas performed her piece, Sweet Potato Kicks the Sun, at the Lensic Performing Arts Center in Santa Fe.
James Hornblower writes: “Fiona, Ainsley, and I continue to enjoy living in Concord, Mass. Fiona still does remarkable things at BU Law School’s Career Development Office. Ainsley enters seventh grade at Dana Hall next month. She has had a great summer filled with various equestrian competitions (hunter jumper). I started a new job at BioSymetrics in July, working as their business development director. We went to Bermuda in June for vacation and Manchester, Vt., for Vermont Summer Festival.”
From Adam Snow: “I’m still trying to hit a ball through some goalposts! I got to play this past July/August on the fields I learned on at Myopia in Hamilton, Mass., (first time back for a season in thirty-some years) – full circle! Got to see Clay Yonce and his son, Sam ’15 (the latter took up polo while at Harvard), Rufus Clark (briefly), Ben Scully, and Sam Daume. A highlight was playing one tourney with my brother, Nick Snow ’04. Haven’t been on the ice for a few years, but hoping that that will change soon.”
María E. Fernández-Giménez writes: “I led a collaborative art-science experiment that led to the book Grazing the Fire: Poetry of Rangeland Science, published by Wolverine Farm Press. It’s a collection of poems and artwork inspired by scientific articles in the field of rangeland science. The volume includes poems written by a diverse group of contributors, from cowhands to researchers and award-winning poets. I spent 2018-19 on sabbatical, walking with migratory shepherds in Spain and the High Atlas Mountains of Morocco and interviewing women herders in both places.”
News from Jennifer White Callaghan: “Richard, Meg, and I are settling into life in Washington, D.C., where Meg started third grade yesterday (and loves school), Richard works for the One Campaign (and loves it), and I am still with Allen & Overy (great firm but a little too busy). We swim, run, hike, and barbecue as much as possible and, though we miss our friends and family in London, we are glad we moved here.”
A note from Douglas Lee: “Both of my sons graduated from college a couple of years ago so I am DONE! Still in Hong Kong and will be here for the foreseeable future as my wife took over three Korean food takeaway shops in Hong Kong (www.k-roll.com.hk). Word of advice – avoid working with your wife if at all possible! Lol. Planning a golf outing this fall with Ben Scully (living in Busan, Korea) and John Song (flying to Korea from Philly). If anyone is coming through Korea or Hong Kong, please drop me a line.”
Charles Baylor writes: “I have pretty much quit my law practice. I keep busy with my rental properties, gardening, my book club that I have run for nearly 30 years, and a monthly neighborhood newspaper that I’ve been putting out the past year and a half. I keep thinking I’ll find that perfect woman and settle down. But, I suppose it’s getting a little late for that. I’d be very happy to see old SPS’ers if any are interested in visiting the complete dysfunction that is Topeka, Kansas, where, more or less, I have lived the past 18 years. Or, if preferred, Kansas City, which I am always eager to find an excuse to visit.”
From Linda Gray: “The magnolia and Kōwhai trees are blooming here in Wellington, New Zealand, as we head into the Southern Hemisphere spring. I recall fondly the glory of New Hampshire fall color, crisp air, and deep blue sky. Otherwise, Wellington continues to charm as a walkable capital city with a high quality of human interaction. This year, I celebrated the sweet 16th birthday of my new immune system, which began with a bone marrow transplant from my brother in 2003. The transplant enabled me to survive chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML), a blood cancer. Best wishes to any of you coping with your own or a loved one’s cancer diagnosis. On the work front, I’ve recently edited projects on the efforts of immigrant Jains (from India) to sustain their religion and on an early 18th-century St. Kitts (British Caribbean) sugar plantation. I’d love to see fellow Paulies who make it to New Zealand (a more common destination now than when I arrived in 1999), although I have to admit that the spectacular scenery is in the South Island. Happy trails, wherever life takes you next. We haven’t been the most active class to date, but my theory is that’s because we’ve been leaning into the storm of life. Am I right? If so, kudos on the hardships you’ve struggled with resolutely.”
A message from Tarrant Mahony: “Elika and I are still living in Beijing, now as empty-nesters. Our daughter, Amelia, started at Brandeis at the end of August and our son, Taraz, is in his last year at Northeastern. I am now serving as the director of the Temple-Tsinghua LLM program, where I have been teaching for many years now. Elika just released her 10th album, The Exalted One. Would love to see any classmates visiting China.”
Bill Graham writes: “We’re now halfway through college for our three boys – one has graduated (and is looking for work in solar development/financing), one is a junior studying mandarin in Shanghai this semester, the third is a senior in high school. The first two were/are at Duke, the third wants to go anywhere but Duke. Caroline is a yoga teacher with a loyal following, and I’m staying active with the aforementioned yoga, hoops (still), and rambling jaunts with Oscar, the best dog in the universe. We live in Fairfield, Conn., and I work nearby at HomeServe as CMO.”
Lee (Manley) Williams shares: “I’ve finally achieved the academic calendar without completing a Ph.D. program. I work in D.C., but (for the fourth year in a row), in June, I move up to Woods Hole, Mass., for the summer, returning after Labor Day. Last year my middle daughter, a newly licensed driver, took the side off the car trying to squeeze by a big truck. It being Cape Cod, it took five weeks to get the repairs done, and so I had only my bicycle to get around, which I found I really enjoyed. When I returned to Virginia, I continued the practice and bike to work (14 miles) or work from home. Some mornings I also do an hour of weights or yoga, and I like to bike home before dark, so the few hours left in the day to do financial services law I find really enjoyable. My husband and I have five kids between us, all of whom are mostly fledged, so we’ve had a busy suburban life of church service, volunteering, activism, etc., and now have a little time to go on vacation. My eldest studied at Oxford last year, so we had trips to England and Ireland, spring break in Greece, Italy, and Tunisia, and Christmas in Madrid with Lucia, who had been our foreign exchange student the year before (reflecting the pent-up demand accrued over 21 years of virtually every holiday with family either in Florida or on Cape Cod). I’m at Buckley LLP in D.C., if you want to reconnect, and we have a lot of empty beds (most times) if you end up needing shelter.”
A note from Louisa Benton: “I had a great summer that opened in June with a visit by Alice Rodd Coogan, Elisabeth Schmitz Lucas, Blair Kloman and Natalie Edmonds, and ended in August with a visit on Cape Cod by Lucy Chubb and her son, Seamus O’Connell ’21. This July, I marked my sixth year as E.D. of Hope for Depression Research Foundation, a nonprofit dedicated to advanced neuroscience research. There’s an explosion of new information being generated about the brain, so it’s an exciting time to be in the field. Proud to count not one but two Paulies among the 12 co-chairs of our annual Gala this fall: Natalie Edmonds and Peter Paine ’81. Grateful to Clo Dickey and Jake Saunders also for being ongoing supporters. Please get in touch if you’re coming through N.Y.C.”
James Houghton writes: “Connie and I are well and adjusting to life in a slightly emptier lane in Boston. Daughter Isabelle ’17 is a junior studying international relations and Arabic at the University of St. Andrews in Scotland – which took us to Lebanon this summer to visit while she studied at the American University of Beirut. Daughter Abigail ’20 is reintegrating back into SPS as a Sixth Former after spending last year studying in France with School Year Abroad. Connie continues to enjoy her work cataloging the Special Collections at the Boston Public Library and I remain focused on helping manage a family office business and riding more miles – sometimes organized, sometimes not – on my road bike. The bike gear and clothes have been an adjustment for all; perhaps why the girls have chosen to spend so much time overseas. Please call or visit if in Boston – turns out we now have extra room.”
Ben Scully shares: “I’m back in Busan, Korea, where I was also living in 2001-02. It’s a great culture with a fascinating history. I still make ‘sneakers’ at Nike, lately as part of the innovation group, which is great as I’m surrounded by people infinitely smarter and more capable than I am. I still do the occasional long run for fun. I’m about to rendezvous with several classmates: Adam Snow, Sam Daume, Alex Wilmerding, Jake Saunders, and Porter Gifford for a few days off Nantucket. It promises to be a very mature gathering, and I especially look forward to the reliving of our academic accomplishments at SPS in about three minutes. Hope to see Doug Lee and John Song soon in the Land of Morning Calm. Please holler if you’re in Korea.”

A big heartfelt thanks for the many updates from ’83. Hearing from you is the best part of this job.
A wonderful update from Charles Jakosa: “All is good in Dhaka, where my family and I have been for almost a year. Taking rickshaws to the office in the morning, wearing lunghis in the off-hours, and enjoying the incessant honking of drivers. Life is far from boring. My son is in kindergarten now and seems to be learning a smattering of Bangla. Went to Charlottesville last month to see Andy Block. Had a great time in the pool, eating barbequed beef, and perusing the inventory in the used car lot he seems to be stocking in his driveway.”
It was great to hear from Tristam Dashti-Gibson: “As for me, I am working as a therapist in Exeter, N.H., one block away from Phillips Exeter, specializing in trauma, family therapy/relationship issues, LGBTQ perspectives, and addictions. Grant is 17 and looking at colleges of course. Nina is a senior bio major. Jaleh teaches in the education department at Merrimack College in North Andover, Mass. It has been nice to be on the East Coast again these past eight years.”
Thank you to Hanako Yamaguchi for this note: “Jessica Lutes and her family visited New York this summer and we had a fantastic time over dinner and a concert at Lincoln Center on a beautiful hot night.”
Charlie McKee’s equine import and breeding venture, founded with his sister Nina McKee ’81, has grown its herd of Freiberger horses from Switzerland to nine, firmly establishing the breed in the U.S. In September, he and partners founded the Ice Academy of Montréal as the world’s top Ice Dance training centre, with 30 couples from seven countries, including eight world-title holders who are expected to sweep the 2022 Beijing Winter Games.
And great to hear from Sallie Bryan: “I had the pleasure of attending John Bohan’s wedding in May at a beautiful resort in Sedona. Brennan Starkey and Ben Maeck were also there. It was an awesome weekend. I’ve been enjoying my second year in my new career path counseling many high school kids in the college application process and designing California native plant gardens in Berkeley. It’s been really fun and super challenging stepping out of my comfort zone. My boys are both at Berkeley High for one last year together before the older graduates in June.”
And what would the issue be without an update from Michael Stubbs: “We’re going to Raja Ampat (Indonesia) with the Oceanic Society in a few weeks to dive on the most biodiverse marine regions in the world – it’s supposed to be amazing. And then we’re in Antarctica – with UCLA climate scientists – in January. And Central America on an archeology blitz (Aztec, Mayan and Olmec civilizations, primarily) in March. (Note: In my next life, I am coming back as Michael Stubbs). And in November, after the elections, we go back to Kenya (and probably Uganda) for human rights work we sponsor there (and in the region). Otherwise (and even when I’m not in town), I’m just doing criminal justice reform, with a special focus on advocacy/agitation for – and success, which is amazing – progressive, evidence based best-practice change in connection with L.A. County Probation. Because of (absurd!) racial and socio-economic disparities with respect to policing and/or supervision, L.A. County voters (the engaged electorate) are significantly blind to what is happening in low-income people of color communities. It’s crazy: I’ve met 18 year-old black and Hispanic kids in L.A. – all of them born and raised within a 15-mile radius of my home – who have never enjoyed a supportive/nurturing/respectful relationship with a white person. OK, that’s it from the bleeding heart liberal on the Left Coast!”
Brennan Starkey shares: “It’s hard looking at all those fish pictures. So, I’ve sent pictures of Ben Maeck, Will Maeck ’85, and me, fishing American Creek, Katmai Peninsula, Alaska this summer. John Bohan also got married this spring to a wonderful woman named Linda and there was a great SPS crowd. And, my son, Will, is presently in Newport at IYRS studying digital design and fabrication – he has a serious sailing bug. He was racing on Palawan and Black Watch this summer and fall.”
Nice to hear from Peter Haupt, who reports: “I’ve got nothing big to report, haven’t seen any SPS folks in some time. I teach English at Bethesda-Chevy Chase HS in Maryland. My wife Jen is a fiction writer. I’ve got two daughters. Julia is a senior at Vassar College and Elizabeth is a senior in high school.”
And under the header “it’s never too late,” Patrick Smulders sends his first update: “I am still hanging out in London. I have two boys, Caspian (10) and Tristan (14), who fill my every day with such joy. I have been active in private equity for 25 years, currently running a European-focused fund and chairing a China fund. Separately, I am passionate about education for the underprivileged and sit on various such charity boards, including my own, which provides life-transforming opportunities to refugees from the Middle East, in particular Palestinians and Syrians at the moment, by placing them at leading boarding schools in Europe and North America. A number of these kids are near family members of ours. I spent this weekend with Storm Nickerson, who popped over from N.Y.C., which was so much fun. Please let me know if any of you swing through town.”
And last, but certainly not least: The Reverend Dr. John McCard was busy this summer. His daughter, Clementine, appeared in The Lost Colony in Manteo, N.C. And there were baptisms and ordinations for his new church, St. James’s in Richmond, Va. “Come visit if you are in town.”

A note from Sarah Murphy: “After climbing Mount Kilimanjaro, I finished my M.B.A. Not really. I moved to Los Angeles in August 2018 and founded Root to Rise, a nonprofit dedicated to adolescent and young adult wellness. With the help of several great SPS pals, it’s coming together – Rufus Clark ’82, John Gates, Cabell Breckinridge, Nina Houghton, Craig Spivey ’83, JB Sullivan ’83, Sarah O’Herron Casey, Colin Wozencraft, Chris Hewitt Whitford, Hans Brigham ’82, Eloise Clark Patterson, Carl Lovejoy ’75, Marcia and Bill Matthews ’61, and Steph McCusker (wife of Dave McCusker). I’m grateful to have learned about service from some of the best – Bill Abbé, Peg and Rich Davis, Ron Harris, Mr. Kagle, Doc Marshall, Mr. Chase, Brian Regan, Emily Stimson, and more. Visit the site (roottorise.co) and join the movement to bring wellness and mental health education to schools, colleges, the community, and the workplace.”
Charles Meyer reports: “I bumped into John Taws last year in Pinehurst, and he is thriving; riding motorcycles, flying planes, and defying gravity and age. More recently, I caught up with Miles Russ in Charlottesville last spring at the Kappa Sig formal, as his son and my youngest, Charlie, are fraternity brothers there at UVA. Miles still has great dance moves and the boys accommodated with a great 1980s playmix. Miles can still make the Best of Journey come to life. When not practicing law, my wife Susan (assistant Commonwealth’s Attorney) and I enjoy following our kids all over the place. Meg is in business school in Paris (HEC) and Caroline is at Wells Fargo in Charlotte, while Chas is in his fourth year at UVA and trying to figure out what’s next. If anyone is ever driving through Virginia on their way up or down the East Coast, we are a convenient way station and would love to have you visit.”
Jonathan Gal writes: “I am living with my wife, Angela, and four wonderful children in Provo, Utah. Life here is great, albeit more modest than my New England upbringing. It consists primarily of coaching the children, helping with housework, and hiking/skiing in the mountains. I would welcome e-mails from formmates.”
Andrew Corsello

Lida Lee “Leelee” Lloyd Treadwell continues to write in with questions about our 35th SPS reunion, which will take place on the weekend of May 29-31, 2020: “Will the slip ’n slide extend from the front door of the Rectory into the Lower Pond? Will Lance Preston Darius Khazei be cosplaying each of the five Rambo iterations spanning the years 1983 to 2019? Will Bernard von Bothmer be waterskiing on Turkey Pond behind a Class of ’85-themed cigarette boat helmed by Jim Frates and John Hunt? The answer to each question remains a resounding, Yes, dear.
In response to a note in which our form director admitted to being in a “foul” mood, and randomly attached a picture of his Pomeranian, Richard Dane sent a charming picture of his Jack Russell Terrier, Lobby-Lou (aka “Piglet”), writing, “Today, she is in a particularly chilled-out mood, so I thought you might find her picture soothing.” (Note to reader: The picture was soothing, yes.) Where Dane showed grace, Murray Buttner brought insolence, dismissing his form director in words eerily reminiscent of Oliver Cromwell’s speech dissolving the Rump Parliament. “If any of the Form of ’85 (aka the Shame of 85) happen to be passing through Dutch Harbor out in the Aleutians,” Buttner sniffed, “I would be thrilled to fete him or her with all appropriate ceremony.”
Jonathan Young wrote: “Strained my back Monday morning on the LIRR. Only thing that helps is the knowledge that three million people strain their backs each year, and that Corsello is also in a foul mood.”
Nick Spooner, ever the goateed ingrate, wrote, “I fondly remember a conversation with precalculus teacher Ronald J. Clark; when asked why I was failing his math course, Mr. Clark was horrified with my coldblooded response, ‘Because it will never have any practical purpose in my life, now or ever.’ I am pleased to report that this proof turned out to be 100 percent accurate.”
Emily Whitney Hartshorne, writing in the well-earned third-person, says that “she has unburdened herself of the mantel of elementary school administrator, a post she has held for the last 13 years, and is blissfully reconnecting with six- and seven-year-olds in a first grade classroom. Her soul is lighter despite the book bag being heavier at the end of each day. Hats off to all school administrators who are still fighting the good fight.”

From Liz Bigham Hotson: “Helen Fairman and I shared a terrific ‘we turned 50’ trip to Norway this June. Among many highlights was a day spent kayaking through the blissful Geraingerfjord, a mountain bike ride through the Flam valley, and discovering how much more catching up with an old friend one can do when it’s light 22 hours a day.”
Nina Rowe Ward writes: “Traveled with my 18-year-old daughter, Kate, this summer to London to visit Suzanne Ferlic Johnson and her 13-year-old daughter, Sabrina. We spent a fun-filled three days visiting the sights, and then the four of us hopped on a plane to Athens and the beautiful Greek island of Hydra. So wonderful to spend time with best friends and daughters.”

Monique Washington checks in: “I’m still hard at work with the Chicago Police Department. In fact, I’m in my 20th year and was recently promoted to lieutenant. I’m also finding time to continue traveling and checking off U.S. states on my list. I’m up to 34 states and counting.”

It was great to hear from Gavin Ma in Hong Kong. He writes that he had dinner with Donald Eubank (who lives in Japan) when Donald was in Hong Kong for a few days. The last time they had seen each other was about six years ago when they were both in Singapore, and before that probably not since graduation. Gavin and Christine Pillsbury used to see each other quite a bit when they both lived in Singapore. Other than that, Gavin has gotten to know other SPSers from other forms, including Alexandra Kumin Solomon ’98 who also lives in Hong Kong. Gavin has two small boys, Kyle and Wyatt, who will hopefully have the opportunity to attend SPS one day.
Georgia Bush writes, “I am in my fourth year working for the Bank of Mexico. I was recruited there after finishing my Ph.D. in economics. It has been great. I even speak (bad) Spanish now. The family (three boys, 13, 11, and 5, and husband Rick) goes back and forth to New York City a lot. Please look me up if you come to Mexico City. It’s a fantastic place.”

From Harlem Logan: “I got married on March 29, 2019, to Dr. Mariana A. Recalde in Key West, Fla. It was a small ceremony on the beach with an intimate reception at the West Martello Tower in a beautiful garden of orchids. And, I’m moving to Las Vegas in October. If anyone knows of SPS alums in the film/video/photo production arena, I’d love to connect.”
