Franz Matzner
was in touch
to let me know that he and
his wife,
Melissa Birchard
,
had moved back to Concord,
N.H., in November. Their four-
year-old identical twin boys,
Wolf and Fjord, have begun
attending preschool at the Chil-
dren’s Learning Center at St.
Paul’s. Melissa is now working
at Conservation Law Foun-
dation on Main Street, while
Franz continues to work for
Natural Resources Defense
Council. They are finding that
it’s a strange and wonderful
thing to both start a new ad-
venture and come full circle at
the same time.
This from Johanna and
Bar-
clay Howe
:
“We are pleased
to announce the birth of our
daughter, Elizabeth “Birdie”
Bayly Dexter Howe. Birdie, born
in November of 2014, joined
her brother, Barclay III, who is
three. Also, I had the pleasure
of having lunchwith
C.D. Dick-
erson
in D.C., where he is now
working. We had a great time
catching up.”
From

A winter report from
Ann
Carney Nelson
:
“My husband,
Andrew, and I celebrated our
ninth wedding anniversary on
October 7, 2015, with an ex-
pected guest this year. Our sec-
ond daughter, EllaMarie Carney
Nelson, was born that morning
at our local birth center, and
we still made it home in time
for a very casual anniversary
dinner. Big sister Elizabeth (who
will be 4 in March) has settled
into her new role nicely and
has been assembling an ever-
growing long list of the many
things she will teach Ella when
she is bigger. Andrew is still on
the faculty at the University
of Oregon’s Business School,
where he teaches entrepre-
neurship and researches the
computer music and green
chemistry industries. I’m still
COO at Inpria, a startup devel-
oping key patterning materials
for the semiconductor industry.
