Ellen, and I moved to Little Rock,
Ark., earlier this summer and
had our second boy, Winston,
last week.”
As for me,
Elizabeth (Mar-
shall) Leeds
, I was happy to
catch up with
Kathryn Dur-
yea
this July when she came
from San Francisco for a visit.
(Kathryn set me up on a blind
date several years ago with my
husband, Jeffrey, in a brilliant
and insightful act of match-
making.) I am keeping busy in
Manhattan, raising our daugh-
ter (almost two), and serving
on the board of Edible School-
yard NYC. Edible Schoolyard
builds and maintains garden
and kitchen classrooms in low-
income public schools to teach
kids about food, health, and the
environment. We are expanding
into four new schools in the
Bronx and Brooklyn in which
approximately 95 percent of
the student body lives below the
poverty line.

This from
Sarah Ashton
(for-
merly Potts): “In January 2015,
I took a new role with the White
House as the director of their
Climate Action Champions
Program. I remain based in Los
Angeles, and just welcomed my
first child, a boy, Wilder Potts
Ashton, on June 25, 2015.”
Alex Whisnant
reports:
“After Millville, I got a physics
degree at Duke and then fell in
love with France while obtaining
my pastry chef diploma at Le
Cordon Bleu in Paris. I worked
for two years as a pastry cook
at Alice Waters’s magical Chez
Panisse restaurant in Berkeley,
went to Cornell for an M.B.A.,
and launched my own artisanal
chocolates brand, G
â
t
é
Comme
des Filles, in Paris and San
Francisco. I’mmoving to Boston
and would love to reconnect
with other Paulies in the area
over cups of hot chocolate this
winter.”
Jeffrey King
writes: “Just
started season four as a co-
producer and writer on CBS’s
Sherlock Holmes drama,
El-
ementary
. Been working with
Lucy Liu and Jonny Lee Miller
for four years now. It’s still a
blast every time I see my name
on the screen.”
This is what
Daphne Lyman
is up to: “I have spent this year
sailing around the world aboard
anAmel 54 ketch-riggedmono-
hull sailboat with a couple and
their two boys, 9 and 11. We
left Key West in January and
reached Australia in early Sep-
tember, having gone to Jamaica,
the San Blas Islands, through
the Panama Canal, on to the
Galapagos, across the Pacific
to the Marquesas, Tuamotos,
Society Islands, Cook Islands,
American Samoa, Tonga, Fiji
and Vanuatu. I was originally
brought on as crew, but have
taken over most of the home-
schooling duties as well, which
despite my lack of any formal
training or experience in edu-
cation, I felt quite prepared for
after St. Paul’s (among the rest)
and which I have also thor-
oughly enjoyed. It has been an
incredible experience to visit
such remote places in this way,
and we have seen an incred-
ible array of people, cultures,
geography, and marine life.
The boat is part of a rally called
the Blue Planet Odyssey, which
was organized by the legendary
cruiser Jimmy Cornell to raise
awareness for climate change
and its impact on the oceans
and island nations. We are con-
tinuing on this fall through In-
donesia, and then to Singapore,
Malaysia, and Thailand this
winter. The rally will continue
around the world for the next
couple of years – and perhaps I
will be with them.”
Alan “Scooter” Zackheim
shares: “Happily raising an
almost two-and-a-half-year-
old in Helena, Mont. Finished
clerking at the Montana Su-
preme Court and just started a
job at Montana Legal Services
Association, providing free legal
aid to low-income Montanans.”
