January-February 2022

Hi, ’02s! I hope you all are having a pleasant holiday season.

I heard from Jeff McDaniel, about his big move back to the United States: “My family and I moved back to New England in July following 10 years in Australia. I’ve commenced my new role as director of philanthropy at Mount Desert Island Hospital and will be leading a $50-plus-million capital campaign to expand and renovate the hospital. My wife, two daughters, and I are also delighted that we are buying a classic 1889 New England farmhouse in the historic village of Somesville, Maine. We hike all the time in Acadia National Park.”

Bill Meyer authored a new book that was published in November. The book is titled Healing Breath and offers a guided meditation for kids connecting them to the planet. “Breathe into the experience of waves on the ocean, trees in a forest, and the warmth of a desert, and feel your connection to all of life, from barnacles to baboons to falcons to farmers. This magical meditation-in-a-book is ideal for anyone who wants to simultaneously calm down and rise up to the world in all its wonders.”

Happy New Year and best wishes for 2022! Please keep sending in updates, and if you’ve never submitted in the last 20 years, let this be the year you do!
