After a two-year sojourn in Adelaide, Australia, for Mike’s work, Debbie and Mike Rand returned to the United States during the summer. They are back in Ridgefield, Connecticut, where daughter Emily, 8, and son Simon, 5, will this fall be entering third grade and kindergarten, respectively. Many of our classmates enjoyed following their Australian adventures through Debbie’s stunning photography. Although I am sad about the retirement of the best hashtag ever, #IcomefromaRanddownunder, we are thrilled to welcome back the Rands!

Viki Zoltay has been battling chronic Lyme disease for several years. At the time of this writing, she had identified a new treatment protocol in Germany and was planning to travel there during the summer for an intensive multi-week course of therapy. Viki lives in Boston and has been able to keep working part-time as a hydrologist for the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. Her treatment and travel have been very costly thus far. She has a page set up at YouCaring.com—search for her name if you would like to make a donation to help her with her medical expenses. I know we are all sending best wishes to her for a full recovery.

Brook Cosby shared that Hyde, the organic cotton yoga clothing company she’s been a co-owner and director of since 2011, has recently moved all operations to California. The line will be made in Los Angeles going forward. Check out the new collection at yogahyde.com. 

Lastly, a reminder that Homecoming Weekend is October 6-7. The football team is playing Yale. Hope to see lots of ’00s in attendance! I hope everyone had a great summer—keep the news coming.
