FALL 2021 55 CLASS NOTES away and a link to the obituaries online. For those who missed the list, here’s some infor - mation about Steve from his obituary and from some checking. Steve came to Trinity with the rest of us in September 1975. He was from Great Neck on Long Island. Steve imme- diately was involved in student government elections. He also played lacrosse at Trinity. You can tell he was a true Long Islander. Long Island is a traditional source of college lacrosse players. Steve majored in history. After graduation, he moved on to Georgetown University Law Center, also known as Georgetown Law, where he graduated with a J.D. He practiced law in Brooklyn. He was married and had two daughters. During the pandemic, Nathalie Reverdin said she and her associates have turned their museum-based Backdrop Switzerland Expo, focusing on a century of foreign films shot in Switzerland, into two themed vintage car tours. The different film locations are matched with luxury hotels, events, and guest speakers from the trade. Andy Storch was in touch to say he and Maureen moved to Alexandria, Virginia, across the Potomac from D.C., last year. Their fourth and last child is going into senior year at UVA and with it the last batch of tuition bills. They bought a home on Martha’s Vineyard during the height of the pandemic. While they have no immediate plans to move, they’re looking forward to enjoying time in a remote area on the island to see if it could be longer-term fit. 1980 Class Secretary: Elizabeth Davison Hyde, 8801 Cheltenham Ave., Wyndmoor, PA 19038-7125; [email protected] • Class Agents: William Bullard, Tom Casey, Scott Lessne, Kate Youngdahl Stauss • /groups/112435390839 Thank you to our 2021 Virtual Reunion Committee: Cynthia Ballantyne , Lisa Block , William Bullard , Tom Casey , David Clark , Carol Anne Goldberg , Peter Jongbloed , Trish Mairs Klestadt , David Koeppel , Scott Lessne , Patrice Ball-Reed , Currie Smith , Suwathin Phiansunthon , Chuck Tiernan , and Kate Youngdahl . The weekend began with a cooking class by our own Lee Clayton Roper , cookbook author, public speaker, TV person- ality, producer, food blogger, and cooking instructor. Tricia Mairs Klestadt acted as our host and did a great job. Lee showed us how to make summer salads and side dishes and cocktail/mocktails. She shared tips on the perfect equipment to use and how to make entertaining fun and enjoyable. Thank you, Lee, great job! The next event was a “provide your own cocktail” party using Kumospace. The program allowed you to move about the room like you would at an in-person event to talk to different people, so it allowed for more intimate conversations. I learned Tricia Klestadt has three grandchildren and another one on the way. Her two girls have made her life very busy, and she loves it. Scott Lessne , chair of commercial finance and lending with Crowell & Moring, built a violin from a kit in the last year and says it sounds great. Who knew Scott was a violinist since second grade? He also started fencing again with his son. On the professional side, he has been involved with cryptocurrency and thinks he would like to teach. Talking to former classmates reminds me how interesting life can be. I have been busy between nearly changing jobs, my daughter graduating, playing lots of tennis, tending to my COVID golden retriever puppy, and beginning golf lessons. Susan Vuylsteke started a new posi- tion in the medical sales industry after a long time with her previous position. She lives in Los Angeles and is happy that things are beginning to open up there. Cynthia is look - ing forward to celebrating with her family in Aspen in October on the first anniversary of her son’s wedding since they were not able to be together in 2020. William Bullard is a grandfather and recently was in Pittsburgh visiting his 22-month-old grandson. I learned Barr (Dave) Snyderwine grew up in Plymouth Meeting and went to Penn Charter. Barr has lived in D.C. for much of his professional career, as has Jordan Fried . Tom Casey told me he did not know Jordan was in town. Nancy Ceccon joined us with her delightful daughter Bryanna, who is going to vo-tech school. Karen Wachtell popped in Saturday night; she was one of my roommates sophomore year, along with Carol Novick, Laurie Sivaslian (transferred to/graduated from Penn and Wharton, respectively), and Susie Pratt . I talked to Steve Slade , who sold his beautiful Victorian home in Princeton ... sad for those of us he hosted during Princeton–Trinity squash matches. He and his wife live in Naples, and his daughter (one of his triplets) just got engaged and bought a house in Naples. He said after all that time in Florida, he is looking forward to some business travel. So, my friends, 2025 is our next milestone get-together, so barring a future pandemic, hope to see you there! But in the meantime, please drop me a line, and let me know what you are up to. Please remember to support Trinity financially (our class president, Tom Casey , will be happy) and in other ways, including career services, the Women’s Leadership Council, area clubs, volunteering, etc. Until next time, Beth Davison Hyde REUNION • JUNE 9–12, 2022 1981 Co-Class Secretary: Susan Walsh Ober, 130 Skyline Dr., Millington, NJ 07946; susan.ober.1981@ trincoll.edu • Co-Class Secretary: Tabitha N.

My husband and I survived the pandemic over the past year and a half. Since I work for a bike company, business has been absolutely crazy, given the supply chain issues and delays with manufacturing. My job normally requires traveling a lot, but it’s been Zoom meetings for everything; after many delays and setbacks of new bikes not arriving, we’re finally seeing new bikes go out the door to shops. Things are starting to get back to normal, and being vaccinated is a sigh of relief! Hopefully, I’ll get to come back East soon!” Robert Aiello is a practicing criminal defense attorney in New York City and Long Island. He writes, “I have two children who are in college. I see Faraj Saghri , Tom Roche , Tony Docal , Peter Whalen , and Kenny Savino on a fairly regular basis. We have vacationed together with our families over the years in Saint Martin, Florida, and the Dominican Republic. I am blessed to be in touch with some of my Trinity friends. I wish I could see more of you! Hope everyone is well. Stay safe.” Ginger Brennan runs ABA Retirement Funds, a retirement member benefit of the American Bar Association. She has three kids, two grown and one in college. “I love Facebook to keep up with so many of my Trinity friends. Getting married again in two days and look forward to seeing all of you in person next year back on campus!” Peter Hubbell writes that after 40 years in advertising, which included starting his own agency dedicated to baby boomers (www.boomagers.com), he’s launching a new venture to help recent college graduates market their way to their first real job (www. applyyou.com). He, wife Caroline, and son Teddy, 15, live in Greenwich, Connecticut, but try to spend as much time in Nantucket as possible!
