An update from
Tamur
Mueenuddin
: “Interesting and
fun news from our family. We
have just moved from B
é
nin
to Madagascar, where Lau-
ren will be managing a large
USAID-funded health program
for PSI, a Washington-based
humanitarian NGO. What a
rich and beautiful country this
appears to be (though we have
still to see the best of it), with
great tragedy and poverty as
well (which we will be working
to address). The younger two
of our three boys are with us,
studying at the French Lyc
é
e,
continuing to expand their
knowledge of other cultures as
global citizens. The eldest is at
university, studying journal-
ism and film. I will continue to
commute back and forth from
here to our farm in Wisconsin,
where I will work for stints of
three weeks as an ER physician
in the local hospital, followed
by six weeks off, so I can spend
time exploringMadagascar over
the next couple of years with the
boys and Lauren. My best to all
of you. I’m looking forward to
getting together again before
too long.”

all from Olympia, Wash. I have
lived here for the past 25-plus
years with my husband Jim,
the rains that grow huge trees,
and the endless beauty of the
mountains and sea. I teach art at
an alternative public school and
love helping students develop
their creative courage and art
skills. I would love to connect
with folks. Write me at lea@
mitcub.net. Stop by any time
you are in the PNW.”
A winter update from
Me-
lissa Greer Solomon
: “Our
family spent wonderful, snowy
holidays together in Whistler
and Vancouver, B.C., so goalie
daughter
Maddox Anger-
hofer ’18
could train at the
Richmond Olympic Oval. She
and her SPS girls varsity hockey
teammates are looking to repeat
the success they found last year,
winning the NEPSAC Champi-
onship. She has been working
on- and off-ice ever since they
hoisted their trophy at the end
of the season last March. She
was selected to attend USA
Hockey’s national player devel-
opment camp inMinnesota this
summer for the second year in a
row. Son
J.D. Angerhofer ’14
is
at the University of Michigan’s
College of Engineering and will
graduate in 2018.
David Nelson
shares: “I
continue to be the executive dir-
ector of The Community School
in Atlanta, Ga. (www.thecom-
munityschool.net). We are both
a specialized high school and
a post-secondary transition
program for autistic adoles-
cents and young adults. We use
a model that focuses heavily on
strengthening social-emotional
development. I’ll be presenting
in N.Y.C. in April at a conference
at another great program there,
The Rebecca School. I have two
grown sons in Boston and New
Haven and a seven-year-old
stepdaughter here in Atlanta, so
am now learning how to parent
a girl. Still getting together reg-
ularly with
Eldon Scott, Mark
Schneider, Rich Perkins
,
and
Gifford West
, most recently
at New Year’s at Squam Lake,
though the annual pond hockey
game was replaced with a swim
and a mud fight.”
Gifford West
writes:
“
Bill
Vogel, David Nelson, Rich
Perkins, Eldon Scott, Mark
Schneider
, and I continued
our annual tradition in October
of a sailing weekend. We were
joined by Mark Dibble, who is
an honorary member of our
class, having suffered through
15 years of random stories of
Quonset huts, lean-tos, ISPs
to New Zealand, and so on.
Notable achievements from
our crew: Dave continues to do
very impressive things at The
Community School in Atlanta
(thecommunityschool.net) and
Eldon is now the maven of cool
cuisine in New York, having
conceived and created “Ur-
banspace Vanderbilt” by Grand
Central (urbanspacenyc.com).”
Clay McCardall
reports:
“Not much has changed for
me. I’ve been living west of
Casper, Wyo., since 1994 and
am still running the liveaboard
scuba diving charter company
I started in 1987. If anyone is
traveling through Wyoming,
we’ve got plenty of room.”
Molly O’Neil Frank
sends
her news: “After working in the
theatre and education as an
executive and fundraiser while
raising our four kids, I have
gone back to get my master’s in
divinity. In May, I will graduate
from Union Theological Semi-
nary in New York City. While
earning my degree, I have been
working as a chaplain intern at
New York Presbyterian Hospi-
tal, accumulating hours toward
becoming a board-certified
hospital/hospice chaplain (yes,
there is an accreditation pro-
cess). Our two sets of twins
are out of the house. Three
out of four are in college and
one graduated last May and is
working inWashington, D.C. My
husband, Linc, and I are still
in N.Y.C. I see a lot of
Will
Schwalbe
and former faculty
member Bob Edgar in the city
and got a chance to catch up
with
Tom Hamilton
over the
summer. I am looking forward
to catching up when we gather
in N.Y.C. again.”
