Kerry Sullivan ran the Comrades Marathon (it is 56 miles, actually) in South Africa. “If anyone is a runner this is a must-do race—unbelievably fun, I never wanted it to end!” She then went on safari, toured the Cape of Good Hope and did all of the tourist stuff.
Gary Allen’s 15-year-old daughter Katie has gotten the backpacking bug. Their adventures have included a trek through a mosquito-infested swamp looking for WW II bomber wreckage at Loon Lake near McCall, Idaho, a death march through Idaho’s Seven Devils range, nearly freezing to death in Death Valley during Christmas and torrential rains and snow in Zion National Park during spring break.
Liz Mueller has been training rigorously for a hiking trip in the Dolomites in northern Italy in July. She is taking Leanne Ebberly Jordan’s daughter Emily. Liz saw Michael Bush a few weeks ago—he took a new job as CEO of a company called Buzztime headquartered in Carlsbad, California. His daughter is headed to the University of California this fall.
Anne Davidson Barr is living in Orinda, California, with her husband and four kids (boys Zio, Daniel and Dekkers and daughter Emma). After seven years of working at Kaiser Permanente in senior IT roles Anne decided to leave work for a while and take the summer off. She is using the time to train for a 100-mile charity bike ride with Best Buddies.
In April Melissa Kaish Dorfman, Debbie Michel Rosch, Jessica Rosenberg Brown and Lynn Johnson Kidder arranged a bicoastal reunion in Napa Valley, California. Melissa and Jessica both flew out from New York to join Lynn and Debbie in California and the four drove north to Napa for a weekend of wine tasting, fabulous food, sunbathing and hiking.
Rob Hirschfield writes: “My wife, Polly Ingraham ’79, and I still live near Amherst, Massachusetts, with our three children. We just saw the graduation from Amherst Regional High School of our oldest son, William, who will join the Dartmouth class of 2014 this fall. Despite my best efforts to get him on the water to learn to row he has taken up boxing, which he plans to continue in Hanover. His interest in this ‘sweet science’ began when he was translating the Aeneid. Go figure.
