Warm greetings to the Form
of 1975 from my home at the
edge of Turkey Pond! The trees
are turning and Turkey Pond
is alive with foliage color. Our
40th reunion is fast approach-
ing. I hope you can all attend. I
am in the early stages of plan-
ning our gatherings for Friday
and Saturday evenings, around
the normal events at school
(parade, lunch, etc.). Please let
me know if anyone has thoughts
or suggestions on the reunion.
AnniversaryWeekend isMay 29
to 31. Save the date!

sends this
news: “I was inspired to check
in after receiving
Alumni Horae
and seeing the 40th reunion
photo of the class ahead of us.
I think there’s really no getting
around the fact that we are all
getting pretty old, yet even so,
when I see these people’s pho-
tos, I can’t help but still think of
them as teenage hooligans.The
bigSPS gal group of friends that
I am lucky enough tobe apart of
just had another mini-reunion
at the home of
Julie Green
in
Maine. There were 14 of us!
I’m hoping to make it to our
40th. Meanwhile, in 2008, I co-
founded a nonprofit called All
Sato Rescue (the word “sato” is
Puerto Rican slang for “mutt”).
We rescue dogs that have been
abandoned on the streets and
beaches of Puerto Rico, nurse
them to health, and fly them
up to the Northeast, where we
partner with a bunch of shel-
ters that take them in and find
them great homes. It’s a real
win/win – we save so many
dogs’ lives and we also help
these shelters meet the high
demand for adoptable pets.
Because New Englanders are so
good about spaying/neutering
our pets, there aren’t a lot of
unwanted dogs being born and
then surrendered locally – it’s
a really good situation because
the local shelters can help other
parts of the country that still
have dog problems. We send
an average of 100dogs amonth
to the Boston area, where I live,
and they are the most loyal,
adorable, and soulful pups you
could imagine. Just ask
Anne
Latchis
about her Eva. I invite
any SPS alum looking for a dog
to get in touch with me at
twig@allsatorescue.org, and I
urge everyone to adopt and
spay/neuter their pets. I am
also the international humane
editor for
Bark
magazine, which
has been called
The New Yorker
of dog magazines by
Newsweek
!
I write about animal welfare
programs around the world –
Bali, Mexico, Costa Rica – and
will be meeting with animal
activists next spring in Nepal
and Bhutan for a story. Oh, and
I have a real job too–at MITRE,
a government R&D firm, where
I write articles about their
work in cybersecurity.”

comments:
“Dismayed by the recent skimpy
offerings in our formnotes, I
am writing with the hope that
others will be moved to share
news as well. I just visited
formmates
Kevin McCaffrey
in South Hadley, Mass., and
Anne Latchis
in Brattleboro,
Vt. Kevin has just published a
highly entertaining and sneak-
ily profound book of poems,
Laughing Cult
. Buy it. Anne
made me very welcome in Brat-
tleboro, as she does so well.
These visits put me in the mood
for our next reunion. Back home
in Cambridge, I continue to help
administer programs at the
Center for Public Leadership
at Harvard’s Kennedy School
of Government. But my main
focus here is my children. Eric
is 15 and will be a sophomore
at Boston University Academy.
Isabel is 18 and just graduated
from Cambridge Rindge and
Latin, and, after a gap year,
plans to attend Brown Univer-
sity. My apologies for the long
note – but we are not taking up
much real estate at the back of
Alumni Horae
these days. Send
your news, too.”
