Many of our talented formmates have launched exciting ventures, so support your Class of 2000 by shopping local. All December, I was eating and gifting scrumptious wild blueberry topping, apple butter, and tea from Smithereen Farm, Severine Von Tscharner Fleming’s organic farm in Maine. Severine was in New York briefly and stopped by for a delightful visit. Smithereen Farm’s incredibly tasty jam, apple butter, teas, and seaweed are harvested and homemade with love – order them on her website smithereenfarm.wordpress.com.
I also caught up with Kathryn Duryea and her husband, Matt, when they passed through Palm Springs on a road trip to Sedona over winter break. Kathryn is busy with Year & Day, her popular and rapidly expanding line of table settings. (You may have seen Year & Day featured in Architectural Digest and The New York Times.) Year & Day recently added a new line of fabulous smelling and entirely nontoxic candles. Explore www.yearandday.com for more.
A note from Marc Aronson: “I was visiting Alan Zackheim ’01 in Helena, Mont., this summer, and it turned into something of an impromptu reunion with some notable Cook Scholars. His brother, Emmett ’04, was there, and as I stepped onto the balcony where we were staying, Christian Dietrich ’01 stepped out onto the balcony next door. As we were chatting, Pat Fox ’98 came walking up to have dinner with the Dietrichs. Seems like they all see each other a lot out there, but, still, small world.”

Alexandra (Stevenson) Frelinghuysen shares this happy news: “I married Henry Frelinghuysen ’06 (whom I first met at SPS in 2002) on July 20, 2019, in Southampton, N.Y. We were reacquainted in 2011 at Dorian’s Red Hand in New York by fellow Paulie Clayton Sachs ’06. My sister, Claire Stevenson ’10, was my maid of honor and Anna Widdowson and Phoebe Stone were bridesmaids. Several other Paulies were in attendance, including my father, Roy Stevenson ’74; my godfather, Eric Ruttenberg ’74, and my uncles, Wade Stevenson ’63, Charles Stevenson ’64, and Robert Stevenson ’69.”

My wife, Jess, and I welcomed our second child, Matilda Ruth Seely, on December 22, 2019. We, including big sister Augusta, were thrilled to get to celebrate the holidays together.
Ellie McLane shares: “It was great catching up with Macy Radloff ’02 at the Meet the Rector reception in Boston in October. We discovered that we were both about to travel to Barcelona. Happy coincidence that our trips overlapped. Alex and I really enjoyed sharing some great tapas, wine, and conversation with Macy and her husband, Jordan.”
Jenna Lloyd-Randolfi sends this update: “I relocated to the Bay Area (Oakland) in April 2019 to work as a process development engineer at Amyris.”
Eli Mitchell writes: “I’m moving back to Africa. I’m transferring to the BCG Lagos office at the end of January, so please let me know if you’re in the area! (Or plan a visit!)”
Molly Mitchell reached out with the following: “Having just surpassed five years in L.A., I finally scored a few TV writing gigs (shout out: Fifth Form humanities, Mr. Cahill, and Harkness Tables everywhere). In October I wrapped on season three of Grown-ish (out by the time you read this) and have recently joined the writing team on The Late Late Show with James Corden (out every night). In L.A., I have the pleasure of hanging with Paulies such as Nick Dierl ’07, all four Stockman sisters, and Austin Earl ’97, to name a few!”
Steph Sorowka writes: “After a wonderful summer and fall road-tripping across Canada and spending ample time in Newfoundland and Nova Scotia, I finally started my first real job – I’m a ninth grade teacher at John D’Or Prairie School in the Little Red River Cree Nation, waaay waaay north in Alberta, Canada. I’ve been thrown into the class partway through the year, and am looking forward to getting a handle on Canadian social studies.”

Masaru Nobu’s “A ‘Missing Link’ Microbe Emerges,” was chosen as one of the 10 break- throughs of 2019. The article is published in Science, found here: vis.sciencemag.org/break- through2019/finalists/#microbe-emerges.
There aren’t many people Cianna Wyshnytzky would send to a backcountry camp spot in the high desert forests of southern Utah for several days of mountain biking, hiking, camping, and blizzard-escaping, but Katie Brock ’09 was one such awesome adventure partner in May.
Annie Coe writes: “I opened a business in 2019 – holy cow what a thrill. As owner and manager of The Cabot Lodge, a new boutique hotel in Beverly, Mass., my commute rocks and my schedule is much more flexible. Good thing, because my husband and I are expecting our first child in April. We’d love to see Paulies visit us on the north shore of Boston, and have plenty of beds to host them.”

Mac Taylor shares this news: “I’m writing alongside Isabelle Carpenter ’15 to share some news that we personally are quite excited about. Isabelle and I are both seniors at Stanford this year. Isabelle is double-majoring in comparative literature and international relations, and I am double-majoring in political science and art history. We both are pursuing an honors thesis – Isabelle in comp lit, and my- self in a program called Ethics and Society. After being nominated by our respective advisors, we each have been awarded a Hume Humanities Honors Fellowship for our thesis work. The fellowship is given to the ‘best of the best’ of Stanford’s humanities students pursuing theses, and awards each winner a cash stipend, a desk and keys to the Hume Humanities Center, as well as academic resources in the form of access to graduate fellows and professors for the academic year. There were only 10 Hume Fellows selected this year.”
