Teresa Delany lives in N.Y.C. with husband Blake and four kids, two girls and two boys, ages 11, 10, 8 and 4. Since graduating from Columbia Law School she has worked as a corporate attorney at Hughes Hubbard & Reed. She stopped doing deals after her first child and now works handling professional development, marketing, recruiting, training and staffing. She spends summer weekends in Greenwich, Connecticut, and winter weekends in Stratton, Vermont. She remains in touch with Alison Mason, Karen Clarke Driscoll, Karen Hill Hilyard, Jill Van Winegarden Nix, Kathy Kinney Landmann, Roland Reynolds, Ted Little and Duke Stone Colloton. The children keep her busy with sports, piano, hip hop and acting—look for her oldest child on the Louis CK show, Louie, playing Lily. 


Andrea Hayes Jordan wrote in: “I am a surgeon living in Houston as the director of pediatric surgical oncology at MD Anderson Cancer Center. I am the first and only surgeon in North America to do a specialized surgical procedure in children with a rare aggressive cancer where I take out hundreds of tumors and wash the abdominal cavity with heated chemotherapy. I have been married to Darin Jordan for the last 20 years and have a boy (15) and girl (16). Darin is a home dad and used to play in the NFL for the 49ers, with whom he went to the Super Bowl in 1995. My son is an avid lacrosse player I’m trying to get to Dartmouth! And my daughter was one of the USA’s top 50 recruits for volleyball.”


Sarah Pratt Dawley lives in Acton, Massachusetts, with her husband and daughters (9th and 11th grade) and updates: “I am in my eighth year as a classroom assistant at the elementary school my kids attended. While attending their Nordic ski team race I ran into Colette Bourquin Nygren, whose daughter races too! Although it has been 25 years since we’ve seen each other I recognized Colette immediately, and it was so great to catch up.”


Since 1987 Kim Jacobs has lived in N.Y.C. on the Upper West Side and gets away on weekends to Litchfield, Connecticut, or to visit her extended family. She works in the wine and spirits business in three capacities: director, brand development for Iron Horse Vineyards; president of a company she founded called SocialSpirits.com (a digital ad agency for wine retailers and brands); and as a fourth-generation shareholder in her family’s alcohol distribution business.


She keeps in great touch with near-neighbor Julie Grossberg Harding, who lives with her family in N.Y.C. Julie is an actress and has appeared on Friends, was bikini clad in a Carnival Cruise commercial, appeared in Rabbit Hole with Nicole Kidman and Aaron Eckhart and much more.


Kim sees Ellen Proctor Wilson frequently on both coasts and reports Ellen is terrific, juggling a full life with husband Pete and three amazing kids. As well, Kim keeps up with Ricki Stern (who in addition to being a great mom and wife, is a well-known documentary filmmaker), Chris Segal in Chicago and Michael Keller in Minnesota, who recently became CEO of Pearson’s Candy Co. 


Martin McCarter and Lauren Arnold live in Golden, Colorado, with Morgan (8) and Carson (5). Martin works at the University of Colorado, Denver, as an associate professor of surgery specializing in surgical oncology, research and education. Lauren is CFO for the Gill Foundation in Denver.
