“Meanwhile, like you all, I
keep making discoveries. This
year it was the joy of owning
an old truck. I was ten when
my new, old, yellow 1972 Ford
pickup rolled off the produc-
tion line, and driving it around
makes me feel about that age.”
November news from Sally
Rousse: “I am in the midst
of my final performances as
a full-time dancer with the
company I co-founded nearly
a quarter-century ago, James
Sewell Ballet. It’s been a glori-
ous run. We are currently do-
ing a 20-year retrospective of
our work since moving from
New York City to Minneapolis
in 1993, so I get to do some of
my favorite ballets and pass on
others to young whippersnap-
pers! I am not retiring. From
here I will continue to perform
with other dance entities and
my own work. I am artist-in-
residence at the American
Swedish Institute, where I will
lecture, teach, and be on exhibit
(somehow) and also co-create
a roaming dance-theater piece
at the Turnblad Castle in July
2014. There will be a tribute and
celebration for me in March,
right around my 50th birthday.
Garrison Keillor is the honorary
chair, and there will be lots of
former JSB dancers perform-
ing, speakers, etc. Heid Erdrich
’82, my dear friend, will likely
do something as well. I’m sure
I will have a big (tear-soaked)
head by then.”

still serving as the American

proud to congratulate the Peace
Corps on 50 years of dedication
to development in the region.”

from the Left Coast: I’mengaged
to be married to Dr. Bill Resnick
(misty Angkor Wat proposal in
October, balmy Beverly Hills
wedding in May). Had a blast
in Aspen over the Christmas
break – lots of skiing (Nordic
and alpine, including one brisk,
sunny day on Highlands with
Michael Karnow ’85) and re-
laxation (very nice to speak with
Mac Taylor ’16 over dinner
with her family, and to catch
up briefly with Ripley Thomas
over coffee). Our construction
project next door proceeds: lots
of new space for guests (meet-
ing, eating, drinking, sleeping)
by early April (God willing,
whenwe return from two weeks
in Morocco). Other travel plans
– evolving – for 2014 include
Big Sur (January and February),
San Francisco (for the California
Head Start Association board
meeting in January), Munich
in May, Aspen (for the Aspen
Ideas Festival, July 4, and the
Socrates Seminars in June/July),
the Cape in August, Concord
(for the SPS Alumni Volunteer
Weekend – hopefully with Tod
Brainard and Carol Moheban
– in September), NewYork/Ber-
muda in October, New Zealand
in November, and Aspen again
for Christmas/New Year’s Eve.
No honeymoon scheduled (yet):
go figure! And I’m training for
the Los Angeles Marathon on
March 9.”

This from Terence Gilheany:
“I’m still enjoying teaching
history, religion, and philoso-
phy at St. Andrew’s School in
Delaware. Last summer, I took
a National Endowment for the
Humanities course in Turkey,
learning about the Ottoman
Empire. I got to finish off this
trip by meeting my family in
Croatia and Slovenia. My girls,
Hannah (7) and Margaret (5)
keep me and my wife, Hil-
ary Mead ’94, quite busy in a
(usually) wonderful way. I’ve
also enjoyed reconnecting with
formmates whose children are
considering boarding school!”
