Samantha Carey: Whereas most of you are posting about your kids heading off to or graduating from college, as I was planning a sabbatical for my 50th, life took a very surprising and delightful turn. We welcomed our second daughter, Maddie, just after July 4th. Her older sister, Emily, now in Kindergarten at Sidwell here in Washington DC is thrilled! It's an amazing thing to contrast to aging parents and an advancing career and sure brings a fresh perspective on things!

David Hicks: Nothing makes you feel old more than having children who begin "adulting" (and I use that term lightly.) Recently married and new homeowner, Alex and his wife recently invited Cindy and I to their new home for dinner, with the unexpected caveat that we bring the food (anyone know the correct emoji for that?) Meanwhile, Daniel has begun his junior year at Rhodes, where he is playing baseball and prepping for law school. And, we've begun the college application process for Stephen, so we will soon have 2 in college again. Luke, the "baby," has his learners' permit and has begun "driving." If any of y'all are in East Tennessee, feel free to stop by and enjoy the circus. Admission is free, unless Alex invites you to dinner.

Conan Kisor: Conan H.W. Kisor reports that his newfound passive-aggressive behavior clearly brings others great joy. His wife, children, dog, job, friends and shoestring relatives all seem to ... (sigh) Never mind. Whatever. It's fine. IT'S FINE.

Matt Leaf: Heather (Steiner) and I are reporting from our empty nest here in Greenfield, MA. We moved our oldest into his first apartment at the start of his junior year at UVM and then moved the youngest into her freshman dorm at Marist the following week. They promise to return home for vacations and occasions, and assure us there will be plenty of laundry to accompany them. We are adjusting to not having to figure out car schedules and having food disappear at an alarming rate. Our dog, aka the perpetual toddler, is enjoying being the recipient of all of our attention. Work continues to be great for both of us and I have added working towards my Masters in Restorative Practices to my agenda.

Jennisen (McCardel) Lucas: I have just finished my term as President of the American Association of School Librarians, and I am now back to defending my students' Right to Read at a local level. As a personal plea, reach out to the local library boards and local school librarians and stand with them as they fight against censorship. It can be a lonely and challenging job. In other news, I have started my Doctorate in Professional Studies, Instructional Design Leadership. My son is now a 4th grader, and my husband is still the best Special Educator I have ever seen! My husband, Josh, and I met 30 years ago while I was a Freshman at Kenyon.

Dave Puts: I always love hearing how my classmates are doing and what they’re up to, but I don’t think that I’ve ever shared, so here’s a bit of information. My spouse, Khytam, and I have 3 kids, Usha (11), Jack (9), and Hannah (4), and we work at Penn State in Psychology and Anthropology, respectively. We enjoy camping and go several times a year with two other families, scheduled by Khytam so that we hit every Pennsylvania state park by the time our oldest kids go to college! We’re also excited to see my brother Kevin’s opera, The Hours, premiere at the Met this Fall. Oh, and I suggested the Thrill as a mascot (bummer), but Owls is good. Are there already hooting cheers at games? I’d love to hear from you, and please let me know if you’re passing through central Pennsylvania!

Katharine (Rucker) Sears: In April and June my family moved from Jacksonville, FL to Washington, D.C. As with all moves, ours was complicated thus the two dates for moving. Ultimately, we and our household goods made it to our new home in Southwest D.C. We are enjoying being close to all the great things D.C. offers. My son, Joseph age 14, just began 9th Grade at School Without Walls located on the campus of George Washington University. His school had a field day last Friday afternoon after school where they walked down to the National Mall and played sports on the mall. He remarked that it felt surreal to look up and see the Lincoln Memorial one direction and the Washington Monument the other as he ran around with the other students. He can take the Metro to get to school and around the city on his own. When my husband and I were planning out the move and looking at schools for him we both were wowed by the amount of autonomy he'd have going to high school in a city like D.C.

I began working as a Requirements Manager and Resourcing Officer for Naval Maritime Patrol and Reconnaissance Aviation at the Pentagon in late April. It's a completely new field for me and can be pretty overwhelming at times. On the good side, the Pentagon building itself has a very rich history and is an interesting place to work. It's a bit like walking around a museum with all the corridors hosting artwork and exhibits. I happen to work on the corridor where the aircraft impacted the Pentagon on 9/11/2001. Because the Pentagon is so big and access points from the outside very limited it took me over three months to figure out the above information. About two weeks ago I saw a picture in my office showing the destruction and it looks like my office, located in the D ring, narrowly escaped being destroyed.

Katherine Terrell: Did I mention that I published a book last year? It's called Scripting the Nation: Poets, Chroniclers, and the Authority of History in Late Medieval Scotland. I really want to come by and see whether it's in the Kenyon bookstore! Somehow Thomas ’94 and I now have a child in high school, and one in 4th grade. We took them to England for the summer, where I was teaching a study abroad program (including at least one Kenyon student!) at Advanced Studies in England, in Bath. Our 9-year old didn't remember ever having left his hometown (pre-Covid), so it was great to show them a little bit of the world.
