CLASS OF 1996 | 2022 | FALL ISSUE

Hey fellow ’96ers,

As summer comes to a close, I hope all had some amazing and eventful summer days.

Over the summer months I was able to connect with Debra Stutz Marmor who is enjoying her new life abroad with her family in Israel; Robert “Bobbito” Garcia ’88 who is featured in a new Showtime documentary, NYC Point Gods; and Kem Poston ’97 who is living the LA life and doing good creative work out West. So good to fellowship, connect, and build with folks.

Shereem Brown writes that he is excited about his new book, The Black Family’s Guide to College Admissions: A Conversation about Education, Parenting and Race. Check out his link: www.understandingthechoices.com. Shereem was also just featured in Black Enterprise Magazine about the book: https://www.blackenterprise.com/tag/shereem-herndon-brown/.

Amy Pollick writes to say that a bunch of ’96ers were in attendance at Melissa McNamara’s wedding in NYC in April: Rekha Nigam, Charlene Bierl, Amber Gay, Natalie Suhl Bernardino, and of course her sister, Tracy McNamara.

Chung Ma writes that he got up to NYC in June and met with some Wes folks. Alex Fong, John Kong, and Ingrid Wong, and they were all laughing and imbibing together. He is still enjoying Richmond and welcomes any visitors with cocktails if they happen to be in the area.  He is still making sure the teachers get their retirement checks in his day job, as well as spending time with the Council on Economic Education to increase knowledge of economics and financial literacy for all students.

Peace and blessings this fall to all. Go Wes!
