On Saturday, January 5,
Tony
Parker
and Claire Buchan were
married at the Little Sanctuary
at St. Albans in Washington,
D.C., followed by a delight-
ful reception at their home.

shall
,

,
Rick
Sperry

Ham Clark ’67
.
Haven Pell has moved to ca-
reer 6.0, with the launch of www.
libertypell.com (“mostly not
cracked”). Named by
Charles
Scribner III ’69
, it focuses on
“deficiencies in our political
system.” Seeds for the venture
were sewn by Peter Bragdon, an
SPS history teacher in the early
sixties, and exposure to vari-
ous aspects of finance during
careers 2.0 through 5.0.
JB Richardson
had the plea-
sure of visiting
PeteHumphrey
,
who treated JB to a ride in his
beautifully restored Cord auto.
Later in June, JB and his wife,
Margaret, stopped in Steamboat
Springs, Colo., as part of a trip
to Mt. Rushmore, Yellowstone,
andGrand TetonNational Parks,
where they spent two delight-
ful days with Linda and
Roger
Young
. It was great to reconnect
after many years.
Jad Roberts
’s daughter
Ellie
’08
is working for a doctor in
Buenos Aires for a year before
starting medical school (in
the U.S.) next fall. Son Bardy
is a freshman at St. Lawrence
University in far-away Canton,
N.Y. Jad is now in his 29th year
at Amtrak, thinking regularly
about retiring, but with no spe-
cific plans or date in mind.
Nancy and
Rick Sperry
’s
daughter, Isabel, is a freshman
at Yale.
Dick Ranck
reports that the
Woodmere Museum of Phila-
delphia has recently added a
painting and collage of his to
their permanent collection of
contemporary art. The paint-
ing is 60 x 50, acrylic/wax, on
canvas.
Jos Wiley
is now a proud
grandfather. His daughter, Hel-
ena Von Rueden, gave birth to
Lucia last year. Helena is finish-
ing a doctoral in choral music
conducting at the University of
California, Santa Barbara.
Livy Miller
notes his big
news on two fronts: “Much like
my academics, my grandchild
production puts me squarely in
the bottomquartile of our form.
But what a beauty number one
is. Lucy Payne Norberg, six
months old, born to Nelle Mill-
er and husband Bill Norberg.
Along the way I have appointed
myself a new nickname that’s
easier for kids to pronounce,
and way more masculine than
the wishy-washy Livy of all
these years. Best to all form-
mates. ‘Duke’ Miller.”
David Bliss
walked his
daughter, Laura, down the aisle
on a beautiful sunny day at his
house in New Vineyard, Maine.
New son-in-law is Adam Cur-
tis. SPS alum
Francis Bliss
’36
attended and danced at the
reception.
Bill Gordon
notes: “The
attorneys in our form may
be shocked to know Alaska’s
governor recently appointed
me as a non-attorney member
of the Board of Governors of
the Alaska Bar Association.
Apparently, lawyers need help
from outsiders to manage their
governance. It has been a very
interesting first few meetings
but the travel back to a very cold
Alaskanwinter is not something
I enjoy.”

Robin Lloyd
writes: “I have
just finished an historical nov-
el, which will be published
in the spring of 2013. It’s a
salty tale about sailors, artists,
and Charles Dickens, all told
through an American sailor’s
eyes.”

Sidney W. Davidson III
Steve Crandall
and
Tres Da-
vidson
report: “After our form’s
reunion at Great Mountain
Forest in June 2012 and discus-
sion on how we can give back
to the world around us and
at the same time expand our
relationship with the School
beyond solely pecuniary sup-
port, we have launched SPS
Sparks, a social entrepreneur-
ship network for sparking ideas,
communication, and activities
to enable the St. Paul’s School
community (students, faculty,
staff, parents, and alumni) to
collaboratively serve, collec-
tively give back, and creatively
share. Our effort has drawn
strength and guidance from
