Tracy Brown writes from Sleepy Hollow, NY, on the Hudson River where she lives with her husband Josh and their two sons, Eamon (4) and Theo (1). Eamon’s best friend is Max Cover, Katie Scully’s son (also 4) and they all spend a lot of time together, mostly outside hiking, sledding, and swimming. Tracy works part time as a producer in a design firm, VSA Partners (vsapartners.com), focusing mostly on interactive/online projects. She recently moved from Brooklyn and is still amazed that such natural beauty is in abundance so close to NYC. She reports that another Middlesex alum, Alex Matthiessen, is safeguarding the precious Hudson as Executive Director of Riverkeeper(www.riverkeeper.org).

Howard Huberty just got back to his home in San Francisco from Manila where he was visiting for a family reunion with his aunt, the current President of the Philippines. In 1995, Howard made a vow to stop watching TV and has used the extra time to have, “many varied experiences from high-brow to low-brow.” We’ll have to wait for next Bulletin for more details. The only thing left on his list of “things to do in life” is to have children and we are told that is being addressed.

Matt Iler reports that he has married Barbara Welles (Middlesex 1988) on September 18, 2004, in Scarborough, ME. They live in New York City.

Ian Kennedy left his job at Dow Jones to join a weblog software outfit called Six Apart. Since June he’s moved the family across the country to San Francisco, shacked up for two months in a one bedroom flat while looking for a place to live, found a place to live and bought it along with a matching minivan, potty trained the three year old and got her started in pre-school, taught the six year old how to ride a bike, and updated every magazine, license, credit and membership card he owned (twice). Amazingly, his wife is still with him and has done an amazing job of holding everything together through the the entire run-on sentence.

Maria Kirsten writes from Lennox Head in the state of New South Wales, Australia. She has two daughters (Sasha is 8 and India is 5) with Michael and teaches a blend of yoga and pilates and spends half the year teaching in the teacher training program as well. “We live near the beach, we have bananas and mangos growing in the garden. The balance of teaching and mothering and living in this beautiful place makes for the suburban dream.”

Scott Kitson continues his role as President & CEO of a group of companies in Bermuda comprised of insurance and eeal Estate service companies and a ’boutique’ hotel. He was asked to join the Young Presidents Organization in 2004, a fraternity of under 45 Presidents from around the world that provides an increadible network of educational and business resources. Scott has been married to Susan for 11 years now and their three sons, Matthew (9), Quincy (7) and James (4) continue to grow faster and expend more energy that they ever thought possible. “There is hardly a dull moment in our house; it is a logistical exercise just making sure they get off to school every day dressed in uniform and packed with lunch and all of their books.”

Mike & Mimi (Freund) McFadden live in Beverly, MA with their three children, Ledyard (6), Margaret (4) and Jack (2). Mike runs an educational consulting company called SchoolWorks (www.schoolworks.org).

Vicki Peet lives in Marin County, north of San Francisco, with her husband and two stepdaughters (13 & 9). She works in the city at at non-profit conservation organization called the Trust for Public Land. She has been there for six years working to protect open space and build urban parks and calls her work colleagues, “my second family.” Vicki talks to Katie Scully and Laurie Taylor and was thrilled to reconnect with Tracy Brown at the reunion.

Andy Pitts is going to celebrate his 10th wedding anniversary with Kirsten Dieterich. Their marriage has produced two red-headed daughters Lindsey the Fair (5-3/4) and Laurel the Fairer (2-1/2). He lives in Greenwich, CT with a “winter water view” (meaning that if one climbs up on the roof, every leaf on every tree has fallen and one squints, one can see Long Island Sound in the distance). During the day, Andy is an “up and coming” (i.e., not quite there yet) corporate lawyer in New York. On the extracurricular front, Andy recently took up ice skating and now routinely demonstrates grace and flair.

Will Ross has been living in Portland, Oregon since 1991. His days are spent raising his two children (6 & 2) with his wife Krista while also building his investment advisory business (www.wmross.com). He enjoys the balance that the great outdoors has brought to his life in the Northwest but thinks fondly of his time at Middlesex and wishes his classmates well.

Heather Schildge lives in Arlington, VA with my husband and kids (4 & 2). For the last seven years she has been working as an attorney at the State Department. This summer she slated to move to The Hague for a few years, so will get to experience the joys of moving a family which includes cleaning out the basement. “If any of our class members find themselves in the Netherlands, please get in touch!”
