first grade. Bailey’s husband,
Doug, got a job at the U.S. Dept.
of Veterans Affairs, and loves
helping veterans while helping
the V.A. improve its systems
and programs. Wildest of all
(in Bailey’s opinion) is that she,
after 20+ years of singing, is
now conducting instead! She’s
the chorus conductor for the
Washington Ethical Society, a
humanistic religious congrega-
tion with about 300 members.
She loves choosing music that
supports a religious service, as
well as preparing the chorus
and leading them on Sundays.
Obviously, she’s still amusician,
but just on a different path. If
you live in the D.C. area and are
looking for a religious commu-
nity (and especially if you’d like
to be singing in a chorus!), she’d
love to see you at the Ethical
Society. Bailey is in touch with
many formmates via Facebook
but hopes to see more SPS folk
in person in 2013.”

checks in: “Still
loving life in Fairbanks, Alaska,
with wife (of 15 years!) Sarah,
and 5-year-old daughter Siri.
We have finally finished our lake
cabin a fewhours fromtown and
try to go as much as we can. It is
boat-accessible in summer or
you can ski, drive over the ice,
or snowmobile there in winter.
I still work for the Cold Regions
Research Laboratory and have
been traveling to far-out, ran-
dom, sometimes bizarre locales
to investigate permafrost, sea
ice, river chemistry, and land-
scape change. A highlight of
a recent trip was running into
Paul Cusack
on the same flight
from Boston to Seattle. He was
heading back west from some
travel for his position as an
Army Ranger and it was
awe-
some
to run into him. I send my
best to everyone and look for-
ward to the 25th in a few years.”

“Living in Great Barrington
with my husband and two girls
(3-3/4 and 6) and kitten. I have
a part-time private psycho-
therapy practice in our little vil-
lage and try to balance that with
being a full-time mom. Love life
in the Berkshires. Thinking of all
of you hit hard by Sandy.”
Francie Walton Karlen
and
her three kids (10, 8, and 6)
spent more than three months
in Sao Paulo, Brazil, this sum-
mer with husband Jon as he
had coffee and feijoada with
many Brazilian entrepreneurs.
“Fantastic adventure in a city
of 12 million with more traffic
and helicopters than you can
imagine. Family Portuguese
lessons, work in a favela, trips to
beautiful beaches, rain forests,
and even the Amazon, which
accounts for 1/5 of the world’s
fresh water.”

writes: “Those of
us fortunate enough to experi-
ence the amazing Form of ’91
band reunion jam session at
the 20th Anniversary Weekend
already know all about our
form’s excess of musical talent.
But, for those of us too deeply
middle-aged to stay on top of
the scene, we at least get cool
points for being able to say we
went to high school with actual
Rockstars.”
John Colpitts
, aka Kid Mil-
lions, made the
New York Times
list of 20 best concerts of 2012
for Man Forever at the Issue
Project Room in Brooklyn in
June 2012. The show featured
experiments in repetition and
radical minimalismwith drums
alone, with voices alone, and,
finally, with a full multi-per-
cussionist band. Man Forever
has released three albums, in-
cluding the most recent –
Pan-
sophical Cataract
– on the Thrill
Jockey record label. Kid Mil-
lions/Colpitts and
Robertson
Thacher
, aka Bobby Matador,
are also the critically acclaimed
geniuses behind the bands
Oneida and People of the North
and the indie record label Brah
