News from Charlotte Smith:
“My husband, Mark ’92, and
I are thrilled to announce the
birth of Louisa Bacon Smith
on October 15, 2013, at 11:32
a.m. All 8 lbs., 12 oz. of her are
getting lots of love from big
siblings Eleanor (4.5), Oliver
(3) and Martha (2). We couldn’t
be happier! (Also, hoping SPS
might have a buy three get the
fourth tuition free sort of a
thing in 15 years…)”

Chris Gates shared this news:
“My wife, Kristina, and I wel-
comed our third son, Field, on
September 21, 2013. He joins
brothers Soren and Charlie.”
Chris Kelley wrote in De-
cember: “I’m still living in the
Bay Area and working at Credit
Suisse. It looks like we are here
for the long haul as we just
bought a house. We’re enjoying
the antics of our two-year-old
daughter, Callan, and I can’t
believe I was working on pre-
school applications over the
weekend. I plan on being at
reunions with Callan and my
wife, Anne. Looking forward to
seeing everyone.”
Ty Grant writes: “I real-
ly enjoyed catching up with
formmates James Vanderbilt,
Lucienne Papon, StaceyWag-
ner Knapp and Alyssa Litoff
Gordon at a recent SPS Young
Alumni event in Los Angeles.
Dave Coggeshall and his wife,
Lori, were missed. Everyone is
very excited for our 20-year re-
union this spring. Early thanks
to Becky Saunders Soderberg,
Sara Imbriglia Leone , Chris
Gates , and Ryan Dunn for
volunteering to help with the
festivities. Please let me know
if you plan on attending. Would
love to see everyone! More
communication coming soon.”

Nick Van Amburg sent in this
report: “While I missed con-
necting with several ’95s over
the holidays – Oakley Duryea,
Dolly Geary and James Ahn,
to name three – I was able to
connect with fellow New Yorker
Tom Champion and doctor in
(temporary) residence, Nick
Lukens.
And I have the pleasure of
connecting professionally with
Cindy Day regularly, as she
is “…working as the director
of product management for
Glamour.com at Condé Nast. I
was psyched to hear that NVA
joined the Condé ranks, and
we’ve been working together on
some projects. My son, Remi, is
almost five and had a ball learn-
ing to ski over the holidays.”
From Greenwich, Conn.,
Albert Pope reports that he is
“still with RCM Technologies
– Facilities Design and Con-
struction Group in Purchase,
N.Y., and just moved into a
little cottage on a bluff near
downtown Greenwich, Conn.
This year I’m skiing as much
as possible, because you only
live once, and who knows what
next year has in store? I linked
up with Adam Simons at Alta
in December and will be hit-
ting Vail and Aspen in mid/late
January. Anyone want to go ski
Vermont this year, give a shout;
I’m driving from the New York
City area Friday nights.”
Adam Simons corroborates
that account: “Caught some of
the season’s first turns in the
snowy mountains of Utah with
Albert Pope (with a near miss
by Decker Rolph). With the
start of the New Year, have now
relocated from Seattle (leav-
ing behind a fog-enshrouded
Andrew Bleiman as well as
Graham and LisaDay) to rejoin
sunlight in the San Francisco
Bay Area. Alexey Salamini
and I are once again roommates,
in what is apparently to be
called ‘Fox’s Den West.’ (credit:
Salamini). Already grateful for
the East-Bay presence Mike
Godwin, Charlie Koven and
their adorable little families.”
Mike Godwin himself adds
that he “is relocated up to the
San Francisco Bay Area after
seven years in Los Angeles and
looking forward to diving into
the Pelican scene up here (see
what I did there.)” And down in
SoCal, newmom Jennie (Jones)
Stout says, “Not much going on
here in Topanga, except trying
to keep up with our new little
ones, Maxine Mae Stout, born
October 9, 2013, and our golden
retriever puppy, Zoey, born July
18, 2013.”
Back in New England, Emily
(Osborne) Barnes has “been
living in Franklin, Mass., for
almost a decade now, where I
am fully entrenched in stay-at-
home mom-ville. Ethan started
kindergarten this year, and
Maxine Mae Stout, born Oc-
tober 9, 2013, to Jennifer ’95
and Carder Stout ’87.

Wachter ’97 and husband, Paul,
sporting his new SPS baby-swag.
Col is the grandson of David
Parshall ‘65 and great-grandson
of the late William Parshall ’21.
Adam Simons ’95 and Charlie
Koven ’94 enjoy the sunlight in
the San Francisco Bay area. Formmates from 1995 catching
up (l. to r.): Tom Champion, Nick
Lukens, and Nick Van Amburg.
