Jessica Thompson Somol
recently began a newposition as
director of development at her
alma mater (pre-SPS), Charles
River School, a pre-k-8 school
in Dover, Mass. Her daughters
are in seventh and fifth grades
there. With fall approaching,
she misses Millville and the
spectacular fall foliage around
the Lower School Pond.
Jon Shackett
is understand-
ing exactly how busy boarding
school teachers really are. He
writes: “I am beginning my
ninth year teaching biology
and anatomy and physiology at
New Hampton School. I coach
basketball, supervise the farm
team, and am also a dorm par-
ent (living in the same dorm as
Will McCulloch ’95
, director
of enrollment management). I
opened a nano-brewery,
Shackett’s Brewing Company,
in Bristol, N.H., in November
2014 to keep me busy during
the summer months. Discounts
are available to anyone from the
Form of ’88, of course.”
Best to all of you this winter.

Bill Lawrence
sends along his
news: “I am the proud father of
Anna (10) and Suzy (8) as well
as fianc
é
to Kristin and soon-
to-be stepfather to two ter-
rific kids – Sam (16) and Sophia
(9). Needless to say, we have a
full house and a lot of energy
at all times. I am 10 years with
the San Francisco Giants, over-
seeing corporate sponsorship
sales. It’s been a great ride and
never dull. (Three World Series
rings in the last five seasons
doesn’t hurt either – sorry
about last year, Walt.) Still living
in Marin County and loving the
Bay Area quality of life.”
Yoko Nishikawa Kitano
writes: “My husband and I have
been living in Singapore since
the end of 2010 and are now
busy raising our two-year-
old daughter, Sayoko. It was
so wonderful to catch up with
Caroline Kenney
earlier this
year and I am hoping more SPS
friends will come visit us in
Singapore.”
Emily Lloyd Shaw
shares: “It
was fun to see so many people
at reunion. Loved catching up
and learning what people are
up to. And I loved rowing in our
reunion boat – amazing to be
out on Turkey Pond again and
rowing with seven guys from
our class – a first. Nothing new
from me – still living in Great
Barrington, Mass., with my
husband and our two daughters
(6 and 9), who attend our local
Waldorf School. Fall weather is
already creeping in with cold
nights and beautiful days, and
while I couldn’t imagine saying
this back in March – we are
all excited for the ski season
to begin.”
From
Amachie Ackah:
“My youngest daughter, Kayin
Mari, turned three on Septem-
ber 14.”
Art Richardson
writes: “I’m
still upstate near Rhinebeck,
N.Y., with my wife, two daugh-
ters (ages 8 and 6), and a son (3).
I started a commodity trading
advisor last year, which has
made strong gains so far, and
have begun the slow process
of raising money (
-
phianAdvisors.com). Yes, the
name should sound familiar to
Paulies. We spent the summer
in California and saw a lot of
classmates –
Annie Luetke-
meyer
,
Hutch Huddleston
,
RobHutchinson
, and
Vic Liao
.
It was great to see everyone do-
ing so well out West. Recently
went to
Kelly Heaton’s
amaz-
ing art exhibit in N.Y.C. Check it
out if you can.”
Rob Hutchinson
reports
that he is living in Woodside,
Calif., where he occasionally
bumps into our form’s other
Hutch (
Hutch Huddleston
).
“When not working or raising
kids, I get in the ocean and lie
down on a piece of fiberglass.
Occasionally I even stand up
on it. Let me know if you are in
the area and would like to go
for a surf.”
It should also be noted that
Marie Schley
, whose work on
the TV series
Transparent
was
highlighted in the last issue of
the
Horae,
has since received
an Emmy Award for her work
designing the costumes for the
show. Huge congrats toMarie! It
is also alleged that one can find
YouTube clips of husband
Nick
Morton
’89
doing stand-up
comedy routines.
Lastly, thanks to
Megan
Duryea Scott
for keeping us all
connected via these pages and
in many other ways over the
last five years. I will endeavor to
carry on her good work and will
try to pull together an appro-
priately festive gathering when
we next meet as a full group in
Concord in 2020 for our 30th
reunion. And be prepared for
plenty of interim-year activi-
ties around the country in the
meantime.

Form of 1991, it is time to save
the date. Our 25th Anniversary
will bring us all home to Mill-
ville June 3-5, 2016. Big plans
are afoot, and you are a part
of them. If you have not been
gettingmessages about reunion
– either because you are a FB
abstainer or the e-mail address
on file goes straight to a spam
graveyard – please let me know
another way I can reach you. I’ll
even make house calls. Expect
in your inbox details of a January
N.Y.C. mini-reunion and par-
ties in April in San Francisco
and L.A. I was honored to see
Jose Leos
and
Phil Cho
in San
Francisco in September. What
kind of friends come out to the
Friends from 1993 (l. to r.) Megan Coles Zug, Isabel Roberts
Corbin, Charlotte Pharr Vishnyakov, and their children at Pocono
Lake Preserve.
