1986

It’s late February and 25 percent of northeast adults have respiratory illnesses. The remaining 75 percent are awaiting their turn. Mine was contracted attending a mid-February kids fair (big mistake) and has lasted nine days. My staff communicates with me via speakerphone and sees me only through the cracked door and humidifier’s vapor. Perhaps because we ’86s are all taking refuge from this plague, the recent ’86 news is all from the west:

Kelly Keller is helping publish the tersely titled Global Logistics & Supply Chain Strategies Magazine. Me, I’d just call it G.L.A.S.S. and let readers guess. Kelly lives in Berkeley with husband Anthony and Levon (11). Kelly is the one Mass Row correspondent for the month. She writes: “Mid Mass—definitely a good place to live freshman year. I lived with Nina McDowell and Sue Smith, the best roommates a fresh-woman could ask for. We loved rooming together in Mid-Mass so much that we roomed there again, together, for sophomore fall as well.” She does doula care and triathlons. “Basically living a very content, fun, blessed life.”

Christopher Giza is a pediatric neurologist at UCLA. He and wife Rozanna see Mae Drake Hueston and John Hueston in L.A.

Jeff Healion has moved back to Lake Tahoe, California, from Central America. His fiancée Ana and her children are literally in the deep Panamanian jungles, and will experience California this spring. “No wedding date until we finish up with the visa work. Then Ana, Jose (6) and Johanna (11) arrive. We will marry soon after they arrive.”

Amanda Reed is “still working in the venture capital world as a partner at Palomar Ventures in Palo Alto, California. Craig and I welcomed our second child, James Shattuck ‘Tuck’ Wyatt in July. Big sister Jane is nearly 3 and will wrap up her first season on skis this winter. As we start our parenting career one benefit of starting late is getting good advice from parenting pros like Kevin and Laura (Lindner) Sankey, who just moved their brood of kids and animals from Denver to Wisconsin in support of Laura’s new job as senior vice president of marketing for the Green Bay Packers. We’re hoping to visit them and catch a Packers game this fall. I have a cheesehead in the attic. Go Pack!”

John Marchiony delivered our first news-letter in five years. Very classy. What I conveyed includes Easterners who may still be alive and healthy:

Bev Bruni Zambarano—back to teaching (middle school special education). Three children who do six sports plus Irish dancing.

Ken Libre—treating injuries at Alta, Utah, and catching some fresh powder at one of three extant ski resorts that still disallow snowboarders.

Jessica (Cohn) Healy—working in N.Y.C. helping build Goldman Sachs’ new headquarters in Battery Park City. Yes, there will still be Goldman Sachs. It gets the last TARP money before the Treasury is done.

Joel Riggs—teaching aikido in Decatur, Georgia, www.aikidodecatur.com On a trip east they visited the Cincinnati, Ohio, play- ground (soccer fields) of:

Pamela Taylor—studying xenophobias on college campuses; has a Dartmouth ’12 and three younger children in various stages of soccer.
