From
Jenn King
: “Happy to
report that life is great – but
crazy busy – in Brockport,
N.Y., where I’ve lived longer
(10 years) than any place. I am
currently a doctoral student
in child and family studies at
Syracuse University and con-
tinue to run a private practice
in marriage and family therapy.
I’m looking forward to landing
a job in academia and get-
ting involved in mental health
policy. My husband, Richard (a
burn and trauma surgeon and
Old Etonian, who overlapped
with
Pat Smulders ’83
and
Bill Batts ’81
while at Eton),
and I will celebrate 25 years of
marriage next year. We recently
launched the two oldest of our
four children (Syracuse U. and
UVM). Our firstborn really
lucked out this year in the TA
department – he got me in Hu-
man Sexuality. (How awkward
is that?!!) I had the pleasure of
catching up in person with
Tina
Vander Veer ’86
last year and
also Bill Batts in Buffalo. I peri-
odically ping
Elizabeth Letcher
and
Andrew Bush ’86
. Please
do come visit if you’re ever in
the Rochester/Niagara region.
Our IPAs are fantastic!”

living in Lake Stevens, Wash.,

Been up here 10 years. I’ve
got three kiddos: Sarah (17),
Morgan (15) and Dan (13). It’s
weird having teenagers. And
the younger two are taller than
I am. I’m a single parent, which
gets a little hairy sometimes.
Luckily, they’re good kids, so
most of the time we’re laughing.
I work for NOAA’s West Coast
Groundfish Observer Program
as their outreach/in-house
marketing/jack-of-all-trades
person. I’ve been with them
for five years and know more
about the commercial fishing
industry and fisheries manage-
ment than I ever expected to. I’m
also a writer with a blog, weekly
column in the local paper, and
various small business clients.
Both jobs are great, but I’d really
like more writing and less fish.
Anyone need a copy/content
writer? I’m an avid rower. That’s
right. Swapped out the pointe
shoes for oars. I’m currently
with Seattle’s Pocock Masters
competitive sculling team. It’s a
fast group. I’m on the water five
or six times a week. No better
way to start the day. That’s the
nutshell version of my world.”

I might be able to make it back

got a little rain this morning.
Hallelujah! I saw
Sarah Chase

in March, when she and
her family were in town for
a vacation – driving up the
California coast from Southern
Calif., on up to Wine Country.
They came over to our home
for dinner, and it was great to
catch up with them. It turns out
I had a lot of people in common
with Sarah’s husband, Richard
Shaw (mostly in architecture
and design industry). I also had
coffee with
Jim Barker ’87
recently and caught up on all
things SPS.”

Greetings and happy fall. I hope
you’re all doing well. At the
moment, I’m still recovering
from a morning of picking up
trash at Coastal Cleanup Day
with the Bay Area Pelicans,
organized by 1988’s very own
Lyman Howard
. I’ve enjoyed
connecting withmore andmore
of you in recent months, which
is one of my favorite parts of
being form director (excuse to
visit campus and bother my SPS
Sixth Former is another favorite
part). I’ve appreciated all of you
who have reached out to me to
discuss events at St. Paul’s and
giveme updates onwhat’s going
on in your lives. I’ve been lucky
enough to see some of
