Hello, classmates!

It’s a classic hot August day in Duxbury as I sit down to write these brief class notes. I hope everyone enjoyed a summer filled with plenty of time outdoors, surrounded by family and friends. It seems everyone has been busy enjoying the season, as my inbox received just two class updates this time around.

Tim Hollister shared some joyful news: “On April 30, on an improbably beautiful day in southern England, my daughter, Martha ’15, married Callum Howell of Bournemouth, England—a merry melding of kilts, kisses, and kudos. Then we moved things to the American side, where the new couple was celebrated at a reception on June 27 at the New Britain Museum of American Art in Connecticut.

“The newlyweds live in London. Martha works for Deloitte, and Callum plans office space, which is a booming market in Greater London. Among the couple’s superpowers, they are a formidable adversary at pub trivia nights, so beware!”

Congratulations to Martha and Callum—and to the Hollister family on this wonderful new chapter!

Julie Scolnik writes with two wonderful pieces of news. First, the birth of her first grandson, Misha Scolnik-Brower Hu. Second, two Canadian film producers are interested in developing her book, Paris Blue, into a movie. Julie knows there are plenty of hurdles ahead, but she’s hopeful—and encourages us all to read the book before the movie makes its way to the screen.

We’ll be rooting for you, Julie, and look forward to hearing how it unfolds!

As always, we love hearing from you, so please send along your news anytime. A new grandchild, a new adventure, a wedding, a retirement, a new address—or simply something fun you’d like to share—we want to hear it.

Until next time,

Susie and Ken
