Class Note 1982
Issue
Jan - Feb 2016
As we turn 55 ’82s are continuing to embark on new adventures. Craig Bradley was named head of the Hotchkiss School. Craig is wrapping up his work at the Aga Khan Academies and a decade of life in France. He notes, “The prospect of returning to a life of being settled in a strong, established school community and teaming up with others there to make it stronger is appealing after a decade in a startup environment, building schools from scratch in pretty challenging contexts.” Craig’s younger daughter is in her first year at Maryland Institute College of Art; his older daughter is a senior at Bowdoin. His wife, Elizabeth Webb ’85, teaches at an international school near Paris and is looking forward to figuring out her next chapter.
Gail Koziara Boudreaux founded a global healthcare consulting firm this year. She is a senior fellow at Tuck and serves on the boards of three public companies. We all know about Gail’s unparalleled contributions to the women’s basketball and track and field programs as an athlete. Gail and her family’s recent $2 million gift to the College to endow the women’s basketball head coach position is a strategic continuation of her leadership in women’s sports. Gail explained how critical endowments are to putting women’s athletic programs on firm footing and the strong message they send in the competitive process of getting talented athletes to commit.
One of the many benefits of playing sports is the friendships you form. Gail was able to reunite with teammates and other friends at Homecoming. Classmates in attendance included basketball teammates Corinne Heyes and Susan Brooks Eldridge, as well as Cynthia Hall, Kathy Boak, Rick Bercuvitz, Ann MacAffer, Heather Hazle Lambert, Sherri Carroll Oberg, Beth Johnston Stephenson, Peter Folger, Colin McNay, Mary Conway, Gail Sullivan, Kathy Briscoe, Peter Feer, Sandy Kelsey, Sharon Flynn McClymonds, George Thompson, Eric Miller, Hal Sandstrom, Daniel Kamin, John Nicholson, Joe Lally and Cathy Judd-Stein.
While in Indianapolis on business I had coffee with Sam Laurin.Remarkably, Sam is practicing law with the firm he joined after law school. Sam was honored as a Distinguished Barrister by Indiana Lawyer in the 2015 Leadership in Law Awards.
Mike Kenyon can’t quite equal Sam’s record. He spent a couple of years in private practice before joining the Environmental Protection Agency about 25 years ago. Mike is now the director of region one’s office of administration and resource management. I had dinner with Mike and heard about his sailing trips with his dad and his travels with his partner, Tom, and their nieces and nephews.
My favorite part of Facebook is finding out when two of my friends from different walks of life know each other. Who would have thought that a young lawyer in my office would be the maid of honor at Peter Roberts’ nephew’s wedding?
Unfortunately, I must share the sad news of Bob Morris’ death. Bob is survived by his wife, Eileen, stepson Nate and mother Ann Morris. An obituary will appear online.
