Hello, fellow ’87s!

Drew Desky has not let the pandemic slow him down. He and husband Dane Levens have been hard at work on a new production, Rain and Zoe Save the World, which was scheduled to premiere in London’s West End February 10 to March 12. They are also hoping to bring Dracula, A Comedy of Terrors to the stage in New York City this fall.

Amnesty International’s director of security with human rights Daphne Eviatarwas recently quoted in an article in Deutsche Welle about the “forever prisoners” of Guantanamo prison camp, in which she described the history of the camp and the deliberate lack of protections that are afforded to these prisoners who fall outside the rules of the U.S. legal system.

Paul Churchill continues to enjoy his role as chief marketing officer for Vienna coffeehouse brand the Julius Meinl Coffee Group. However, after 15 years living in Munich, Paul and his wife, Elisabeth, have decided to return to live in Vienna, where they spent their first years together. Any classmates in the area are invited to look them up.

I have been very excited to work with host Maurice Holmes and the other members of the reunion committee in planning our in-person “Off the Green” reunion, which will be held in Chicago on September 15-18. We hope that you will join us forthe opportunity to reconnect and spend time with classmates. The reunion committee has planned a variety of activities, including an architectural tour, a dinner cruise, a social justice history tour, and the always popular’87 TED talks. Look for information about registration on our class website or in our private class Facebook group.

I am very sad to report the passing of Jennifer Beck Kitchel Reining on January 13. Jennifer lived a very full life, including work as an attorney at the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, assistant attorney general in the Vermont attorney general’s office, and as the executive director of the Hitchcock Foundation, an entity within the Dartmouth-Hitchcock hospital system dedicated to aiding and advancing the study and investigation of human ailments and injuries. Jennifer leaves behind her husband, Conrad, and two daughters, Charlotte and Anabel. Jennifer will be dearly missed by her classmates.
