Hello fellow classmates,

Alan Schlechter wrote in to say that he and Tim Whyte went on a tour of Wesleyan this summer with Tim’s older daughter, Selma. The tour guide was an amazing example of what Wes can produce and very inspiring! Go Wes! 

Abe Forman-Greenwald’s feature documentary, Brother Orange, was acquired by Gravitas Ventures and is available for streaming. It’s a buddy comedy about an unlikely cross-cultural friendship that all began back in the halcyon days of 2015 with the mystery of a stolen iPhone. Congrats, Abe!

Peter Isbister continues to live in Decatur, Georgia, with his wife, Robyn Painter, and his three kids, Mira, Ezra and Eliot. Peter is currently the interim managing attorney for the Detained Team at the Atlanta office of Kids In Need of Defense, an immigration nonprofit representing unaccompanied minors. He took this position after the Southern Poverty Law Center, his prior employer, surprisingly eliminated their entire immigration division. Peter’s daughter and Dave Lubell’s daughter are both student teachers at the same Hebrew school, so Peter and Dave and their families see each other all the time. Peter is also still in touch with Amanda Jackson Miller ’98, his high school buddy. Amanda and her family continue to live in Santa Cruz, California. 

Finally, Kate (Dunton) Middleton’s father, John, wrote to thank everyone for so much support after losing her far too soon. He said that the wake was over four hours of a continuous line of people that went around the building, and I know there were many of our class at her memorial service mourning this loss. John said that the entire family is stunned not only by her death but by the way she affected so many people in so many different ways. She is deeply missed, and our thoughts are with Pat and the rest of her family.

Wishing all of you the best,

Abby
