FALL 2021 63 CLASS NOTES at Rock-It Cargo last year, and Anne Fisher Needlepoint continues to grow like crazy since everyone picked up needlepoint while they were stuck at home during COVID.” Michelle Falbo Fernando reports, “I am still married to Sanji, who can be quite annoying.” As we emerged from the pandemic, a few of us took the opportunity to visit Ash Altschuler in Wilmington, Delaware. Graham Schelter , Mike Robinson , Rob Weber , Dan Herbert , Steve Lari , and Jonesy Lerch attended, along with Christian Johnson ’92 and a surprise appearance by Jack Kirkpatrick ’92. We enjoyed a weekend of paddle tennis and pong at Ash’s. And on Sunday, we played 18 holes at Wilmington Country Club as guests of Ash. While our current president also is a member at Wilmington, Ash still proclaims himself the King of Delaware. In other news, John Donohue ran into his former freshman-year roommate, Tom Corderman . Tom continues to be the most interesting man. With the country emerging from the pandemic, Tom is hoping to capi- talize on the reopening by branching out to brewing. He and his partners have developed a yet-to-be-named, smooth-sipping IPA. He was inspired by his dominance in the classic fun dorm activity, a case race. He told John how he enjoyed dominating others, including Graham Schelter and Greg Haffner . He hopes his new brew is “the taste of a case race in a can.” We wish him luck in the new endeavor. Hope all have a great summer! 1995 Class Secretary: Susan Gates Massey, 18 Holden Ln., Madison, New Jersey 07940-2614; susan.

Wonderful to hear from Kate Roberts , who reports, “Well, I wound up living in West Hartford after 20 years in Brooklyn. I live here with my wife and two sons and love the area.

[email protected] • Class Agents: Cathy Sharick Clammer, Jim Gilbert, Ashley Hammarth, Melissa Prober, Ben Russo, Sue Church Zibell From Sam Chang : “This time around the main question is, ‘What are you excited for this summer?’ For me, our family is going on a monthlong vacation in July. We’ve rented a house on the Oregon coast to spend some time with my wife’s family. After that, we’re heading to Hawaii. First stop is Oahu, where I used to work. We’re visiting friends and my mom. Then it’s off to Maui for some R & R without family. On our way back to the East Coast, we’re stopping in San Diego for a few days to break up the long trip back.” Courtney Zwirn : “I’m looking forward to family vacations and all three boys going back to sleepaway camp for two weeks! Be sure to mark your calendars for June 9–12, 2022, for an epic double Reunion with the Class of 1996 (and all of the other 6/1 classes). I would love to see us crush the 25th Reunion attendance record!” Joe Tranquillo : “Thanks for reaching out! This summer I’m excited to camp in the new - est national park (New River Gorge in West Virginia) with my family. I’ll also finish out my term as Bucknell University’s Teaching & Learning Center director and am excited to start a new position as the inaugural associate provost for transformative teaching and learning.” Mary Kent Hearon is visiting Yasmine Nainzadeh in Miami. From Agnieszka “Aki” Stepinska : “These are my first Class Notes ever! I figured, why not? Better late than never. Especially after such a year. I have not visited the campus since I left in 1997. I am excited for a more typical summer in 2021. Our kids, Max, 16, and Emma, 15, started their very first jobs as lifeguards. It was exciting for the first couple of shifts until they realized that it was no dream, and some shifts are boring. It is still better than last summer, so they are super excited about hanging out with their friends. We just came back from our very first post-COVID family trip to the Florida Keys. It was super fun going somewhere besides our little town in the suburbs of Chicago. I have been working on a couple of projects that took longer than I anticipated, but I am super excited to create new work and go the entrepreneurial route. I am bad at keeping in touch, so my goal is to take more initiative and reach out to all my good friends this summer.” 1998 Class Secretary: Jessica Lockhart Vincent, 8 Arborlea Ave., Yardley, PA 19067-7406; jessica. [email protected] • Class Agents: Levi Litman, Jessica Lockhart Vincent, Geoffrey Zampiello As COVID restrictions are lifted, many of us are starting to resume life as normal (or close to it). I’m happy to have updates on several of our classmates. My first outing post-re- strictions was to have dinner with Jen Moore Cramer . It was great to catch up with my former roommate. Her stepdaughter, Alikah, graduated from Souderton Area High School and will be attending Arcadia University in the fall, where she will study art therapy. Jen also welcomed a grandson into her life when stepdaughter Brittany had a baby boy, Camden Nicolas Caroll, on May 10, 2021. Brittany, Camden, and dad Matt are doing well, and Jen is looking forward to traveling to see them in Charleston, South Carolina. Jeff Cross writes, “I was a double winner at the 2021 Hollywood Boulevard Film Festival’s screenplay contest, receiving both Best Comedy Screenplay for my Christmas satire Black Friday and Best Action Adventure Screenplay for my Tom Clancy/ Top Gun satire Fugitive Cougar . These bring my total number of screenwriting contest honors to 19.” Kirsten Tulchin-Francis had some excit - ing news as well. She shared, “In October 2019, I was selected as an AAAS IF/THEN Ambassador through a program aimed to empower current STEM innovators and to inspire the next generation of pioneers. IF/THEN is designed to activate a culture shift among young girls to open their eyes to STEM careers by funding and elevating women in STEM as role models; convening cross-sector partners in entertainment, fashion, sports, business, and academia to illuminate the importance of STEM everywhere; and inspiring girls with better portrayals of women in STEM through media and learning experiences to pique their interest in STEM careers. “On May 15, 2021, the #IfThenSheCan— The Exhibit opened at NorthPark Center in Dallas. This monumental exhibit represent - ing the most women statues ever assembled in one location anywhere in the world consists of over 120 life-sized, 3D-printed, statues of AAAS IF/THEN Ambassadors, including me, hailing from more than 40 states. Along with each statue are interactive audio and video features for each woman through QR codes, with access to their personal stories and highlights about their
