Bonnie Levinson, Delray Beach, Florida, had a “fabulous” 50th reunion, “plus those of us in New York this summer got to join Marcia Barr Abbot and Jack Y. Au at Jack’s favorite Chinese eatery. My summer was filled with travel, art and family. My solo exhibition “Metanoia” at Roxbury Abbey in the Catskills was thrilling, with 49 pieces presented in conversation with the stained glass and soaring architecture. Then a family wedding in Tuscany and an adventure driving tour throughout the winding mountain roads of Sardinia. The colors and textures of sea and sky are already influencing my work in the studio.”

Adrian E. (Natale) Everett welcomed a daughter, Robin Everett, on July 15, 2023. Adrian is in the fourth year of her Ph.D. in anthropology, subfield archaeology, at Yale University and is preparing for a second season of excavation at a Maya site in Guatemala in the spring of 2024.

Jonathan Pratt informs, “Since graduation I have had a number of different fascinating experiences — from being a photo editor at Laptop magazine in Times Square, then publisher of Where To Live magazine in Boulder, Colorado, to being a Hollywood extra at Central Casting. These days I study mental illness, recently completing a 40-hour course from the National Alliance on Mental Illness on serving as a peer support specialist. I was inspired to do so after being diagnosed with schizophrenia about 10 years ago following a crisis I went through while losing my small business during the recession of 2008. Now I volunteer to help others who are deal-ing with mental illness and homelessness in the San Diego area. I still keep in touch with roommate Arthur N. Yaskey Jr., who has his own D.C. law firm. I miss soccer practice at Kenyon and Coach Lawless yelling at the players in his British accent. I must have learned something, because I was assistant varsity coach at Peak To Peak Charter School in Boulder — the same year we graduated from Kenyon, and our soccer team won the state championship game.”
