Hi Class of 1993!

I hope you are doing well. Please keep sharing your news with Sarah and me. We have some exciting updates, but we’d love to hear from more people in the future.

Julie Anderson writes: “I am right in Cheshire, close by to Wesleyan! I have been serving as head of school at Cheshire Academy, an independent boarding and day school, for the past seven years. I’m proud to have sent many of my students to Wesleyan. My husband, Tom, teaches math at the school, where we live on campus. My daughter graduated last year from Wheaton College in Massachusetts, and my son is a sophomore at Hampshire College.” 

Ben Graves writes, “I’m staying busy in Nashville coparenting a precocious 11-year-old daughter, Olivia, and promoting a new LP, Settle Down, out October 11 on all major platforms. The record features a great band: Matt Rollings on all keys, Viktor Krauss on bass, and Jano Rix (Wood Brothers) on drums. I’m still a full-time associate professor of music at a local community college and gig regularly at local venues. Life is good!” www.bengraves.com 

Andy Nordvall was recently a panelist at 2024 San Diego Comic Con, where he talked about publishing a short story in the new Nightmare Theater 3-D anthology with artist Don Nguyen and the illustrated fantasy novel, Abyssal, with artist Paige Barr.

                  He also has two daughters in college. One starting her first year in robotics/engineering at UC Santa Cruz and the other studying business and costume design at UC Berkeley. He misses them something awful.

Tim Olevsky emails, “I just got back from a tour of Barcelona with the Worcester Chorus. We sang as part of the International Choir Festival, including singing in Sagrada Familia, Palau de Musica Catalunya (another 20th-century architectural masterpiece), and the medieval-era church of Santa Maria del Pi.”

Alison Wissot shares the following update: “I am entering my 22nd year as rabbi cantor of Temple Judea in Tarzana, California, and have been active on the boards of RabbisUnited and the Cantors Assembly. I spent my early years after Wes on stages in New York and London, and still perform in concerts all over the country, along with one of my favorite things, singing the national anthem at major league ball parks all over the place. I have recently run into several Wes friends: Dan Wulf ’92 and I found ourselves at the HaZamir International Jewish Teen Choral Festival, where he conducted, and my daughter and one of my sons sang on the stage of Carnegie Hall. Teddy Klaus ’77 also took the stage, accompanying some of the music on piano. With one child entering his sophomore year of college and a daughter applying to schools this year—and another son following two years later—my husband and I find ourselves reflecting upon our college years, and how full of personal exploration those years were.”
