Class Note 1992
So Brant Rose is a brilliant man. Trust me. A great idea was put forth—might have been his, might have been others—to have a global mini-reunion on April 2, which of course is the 92nd day of the year! He ran with it. I will also run with it, and pass along some of the whereabouts of our classmates on that fine day.
(What did I do? Let’s see…hike at Brandywine Creek State Park near Wilmington, Delaware, with my girlfriend; dinner in downtown Wilmington; then an Ingrid Michaelson concert to open the new World Café Live at the Queen theater. Good times!)
Alexandra Shepard: Hi from Half Moon Bay, California! My boyfriend and I came down here for a brief (and sadly unsuccessful) crab fishing expedition with friends; we are off to BBQ and then back up to San Francisco, where we live, for a midnight showing of Black Swan. I’d like to say that this is a typical Saturday but that’s not entirely true. We’re just enjoying the great weather!
Catherine O’Neill Goodbred: Took my 12-year-old daughter to ballet practice, then went to the Nashville Predators hockey game with a friend. Unfortunately they lost in OT to the Red Wings, but it was a fun game. I made dinner for my family (daughter, hubby and twin 9-year-old boys) and then took my daughter to her middle school ice skating party.
Kristin Smith: Looking forward to a night of Russian revelry in Brighton Beach with Melissa Apfelbaum and other fun folks!
Molly Phinney Baskette: Hubby and I took our 5-year-old daughter Carmen on a birthday getaway to nearby Lexington, Massachusetts, a green hotel with indoor pool and Wii (whee!). Nine-year-old son Rafe joined us this morning to remind his sister that she’s not an only child after all. All this was postponed from her real b-day last weekend, when we had a huge blowout to celebrate my successfully finishing eight months of chemotherapy for Ewing’s sarcoma! Aisha Tyler and Jeff Tietjens ’91 were on hand to run the kitchen. Now to prep for Sunday morning worship tomorrow, as I slowly transition back to work as senior minister of First Congregational Church of Somerville, Massachusetts.
Anita Reithoffer Tucker: Greetings from York, Maine! Getting ready for one last day of spring skiing with my 3- and 7-year-old boys. Enjoying an April Fool’s snow storm to extend the ski season.
Melissa Rich: Last day of a much needed ski vacation to Squaw Valley in North Lake Tahoe, California, with my husband, Rob. Warm weather and soft snow have made for some definite spring conditions, but new fat skis make that a-okay! Back to work on Monday after a great end to March.
Bradley Weaver: Getting settled in Minneapolis, Minnesota, living near Lake Calhoun. Joined a local rugby team. We moved here a couple of months ago from New England. Making new friends and feeling Midwest vibes.
Ben Crawford: Little League parade at 8. Coaching my son’s first Little League game today. Baseball is life.
And my favorite…
Ted Laguerre: Went skiing at Killington. Best day of the year—snow, sun and only one neon pink jumpsuit spotted (unfortunately not face planted in the snow).
