writes: “I real-
ize I’ve had another child since
I last wrote in! My son, Tobias
(Tobey) Beckwith Robbins, was
born at a whopping 9 lbs., 14 oz.,
in 2010. We renovated a brown-
stone in Park Slope in Brooklyn
right when he was born, so it’s
been a hectic two years. I am
still running my jewelry busi-
ness (
despite the surge in gold prices
and additional child craziness. I
look forward to seeing everyone
at reunion in June!”

announces: “I
got married to Jesse I. Lieb-
man on September 9, 2011, in
Brooklyn, N.Y. Jesse and I met
in an acting class in New York
City, and we live in Brooklyn.
We both act in theater, film, and
television. I also teach yoga and
Jesse teaches Latin and writing.
We were so honored and lucky
to have
Jessica Barron Essary
and Brendan Essary, who live
in Denver, Colo., celebrating
with us. I am taking the name
Liebman, but keeping Corwin
for professional use. We are so
looking forward to the Form of
1994’s 20th year reunion.”

holidayswere awelcome respite
from the usual daily fervor here
in NewYork, and I was fortunate
enough to catch up with several
SPS visitors and local denizens.
Alexey Salamini
’s annual New
York pilgrimage provided a
cold winter’s evening catch-up
(in a cozy downtown bar) with
Alexey,
Gordy Rogers
,
Alex
Tilney ’96
, and
Carey Wagner
’96
. Everyone had a blast, with
credit to photographer Carey
for documenting and to Alexey
for owning the spirit of eternal
rally.
Keith Meade
was also
in town with daughter Louise
in tow. We were able to pull
off a last-minute play date for
Louise and our daughter, Eliza.
Watching themplay kitchen and
share dollies was absolutely
awe-inspiring on every level.

wants to
know how
Sarah Carley
’s trip
went, and sends this news: ‘Jack,
Eloise (5) and Hilary (almost
2), and I are doing well in NYC,
living in Yorkville on the Upper
East Side with our dog, Pickles,
and Livio, our tortoise. Our
big news is that Jack is open-

at home with my son, James,
and job searching, in November
2012 I started on a new career
as a proofreader and copy
editor at the Martin Group, an

Buffalo. It feels good to be part
of the work force again!’

Alyson Jones
reports:
‘Thanks to Facebook, I bumped
into
Alessia Carega
over the
holidays in Jackson, Wyo. The
universe has a funny way of
keeping these two roommates
close! We managed to get in
some good catching-up time,
including a snowshoeing expe-
dition. It wasn’t frelking by the
ski jump, but it was the next best
thing.’
“And fellow L.A. natives
John Connolly
and wife Lynn
‘welcomed our second daugh-

won a 2012 Daytime Emmy for
my company’s work on ‘Take

“A special note of thanks
to
Ann Carney Nelson
for
reminding me to get this news-
letter pulled together, and con-
gratulations on the birth of a
healthy baby girl! She writes:
‘After just over five hours of
rapid-fire labor, Elizabeth Ann
Carney Nelson was born on
March 13, 2012, at 8:54 a.m. It
was a natural (drug-free) mid-
wife-assisted birth, which be-
came even more exciting when
we learned that she weighed a
surprising 10 lbs., 2 oz.! Fast-
forward almost 10 months and
she is a delightful little girl, who
loves to crawl, clap, and, most of
all, smile. You’ll be happy to hear
that her favorite drinking cup is
my SPS shot glass. I’m currently
working part-time for the same
chemical materials startup.
Though now I work primarily
from a home office, which is si-
multaneously both chaotic and
wonderful. Andrew stays busy
with his professorial duties at
the University of Oregon.’

living under a rock, you know
that
Tim Ferris

another blockbuster book,
