22-minute drive into an adven-
ture. It was an adventure made
even more challenging when
officials released water from
the Wilder Dam, increasing the
current of the river from about
700 cubic feet per second to
7500 cubic feet per second. That
is certainly a way for Cedar to
make an entrance.”

I am fondly remembering Lau-
rie L’Esperance and sending
my heartfelt condolences and
best wishes to her friends and
family. It is comforting to re-
connect withmany people from
many forms in that regard. I
am currently recovering in Los
Angeles (if only momentarily)
froma surfeit of summer travel:
New York, Las Vegas, Big Sur
(sorry to miss our 30th!), Sicily
(thought of Scott Messina as
we cruised from Taormina to
the Aeolian Islands in June), As-
pen (encouraging to hear Alan
Khazei ’79 [on national ser-
vice] and Charles Best ’94 [on
education philanthropy/Donors
Choose], and great to see Ripley
Thomas and her husband, Greg,
at the Aspen Ideas Festival in
July) and Bermuda (SPS alum-
nae adjacent [ Briana Soto ’06,
Madeleine Collins ’09], but
no verified sightings while
there in August). We’re off to
Thailand (Bangkok and Krabi)
and Cambodia (Angkor Wat)
for a two-week study tour with
American JewishWorld Service
(with RuthMessinger and Rabbi
DavidWolpe), working to realize
human rights and end poverty
by providing financial support
to local grassroots and global
human rights organizations in
the developing world. Count-
ing my blessings and paying it
forward, I’mactively exploring a
departure frommotion-picture
business affairs to full-time
philanthropy, principally in
connection with early develop-
ment and education in under-
served communities, as well as
foster care and juvenile justice/
probation/anti-recidivism ad-
vocacy and victim-offender
reconciliation.

you’re traveling to über-cool
Canada, a guest room awaits in
Toronto, where I have settled
with spouse, Joe Hamilton. My
son, Aidan ’14, is rooming again
with JacksonGates ’14, the son
of John Gates ’84.”

Billy McCullough writes: “I
am in Chefchauen, Morocco, a
mountain town with much al-
ternative agriculture and a laid-
back vibe. Great day with the
family – rock-climbed, swam,
haggled in the medina with
local vendors, and had one of
the top-three food experiences
of my life – a chicken pastille.
Traveling is fun!”

Lise Lemeland writes: “I just
movedmyself andmy three kids
to westernMass. and amwork-
ing in my new studio in East-
hampton. My artwork continues
to address aerobatic flying, and
I competed again this summer
in aerobatic competitions in
the Northeast region. Flying
upside down never ceases to
thrill me! You can see three of
my paintings at the Smithso-
nian National Air and Space
Museum inWashington, D.C., in
an exhibition called “High Art.”
It’s up through January 2014;
the paintings were collected by
the Museum in 2010 for their
permanent collection.”

Andrea Greer reports: “Work
for one of my clients has me
visiting small towns and their
tea rooms, mid-century motels,
and church suppers all over
East Texas. More fun than it
might sound! Inspired by those
visits, and after more than 30
years of coming to N.H. on an
annual basis (including seven
years in school there), I visited
the Shaker Village in Canter-
bury last month. Consider a
stop when you next visit SPS.”
A September check-in from
Dave Kolojay: “I’mhopeful I will
make it to the 25th reunion. I
recently moved to Saudi Arabia
for approximately two years
to work on a project with the
Ministry of Health. DaVita is
bringing the world’s best kidney
care to the Kingdom. I will be
working to build and operate
50 new dialysis clinics for 5,000
patients while I’m overseas.
Should be a heck of an experi-
ence! Hope to be able to make it
