50 Ransom Everglades LOG FALL 2016 Class Notes Christopher Moore was inducted into the 2016 Ransom Everglades Hall of Fame for soccer. His teammates Jose Tamayo ’75 , Blake Alders ’79, Fritz Alders ’74, Rob Alders ’76, Steve Sawitz ’75, and David Villano ’79 joined him at the ceremony on April 28. His former coach and close friend Jim Beverley ’62 shared some words about his accomplishments as his presenter. Former coach Lawrence Higgins traveled all the way from Boston to join in honoring Chris. 1977 Lisa Ingraham writes “I moved from South Florida about 10 years ago and live in Atlanta now (specifically Roswell, Ga.). I’m still with Arby’s in Consumer Insights, going on 25 years now. I don’t have any kids but I do have two sponsored kids – one in Ethiopia (went to visit him in 2013) and one in Mexico. In my spare time, from September to May, I teach with a minis- try called Bible Study Fellowship. They have about 1,100 bible classes world- wide. I have the privilege of teaching the Sandy Springs-GA class. We’ll kick off in September with the Gospel of John. Be blessed!” Leslie Saiontz. See Jeff Miller ’79 . Lisa Shaw writes “We packed up our Boulder, Colorado, life last July and put it in storage as we undertake a European adventure: living in Barcelona, Spain. My children, Sophia (15), Charlotte (12) and Owen (12) and I are soaking up new ways of living and engaging with other cultures. Living abroad during an election year has added another perspective as we see the U.S. through different eyes. We’re hoping for visits from Georgia Penn Noble ’74, Kate Sullivan Lindseth ’75, Kathryn ’83 and David Villano ’79 and other RE pals ready for some fabulous Catalan paella and glass of cava. As we travel around Spain we plan to look up Señor Steve Hughes ’76 in Madrid and any other RE alum on the continent who may enjoy reminiscing for a moment or two about our school on the bay. Feel free to send suggestions or look us up if you are passing through. You can find us in the RE online directory. Salute!” 1978 Lauren (Keith) Katz resides in Pembroke Pines and has been working as an artist at VIVID Visions Artistry. She paints with exciting colors using acrylic paint and gauche, creating bright, engag- ing art work. Her subject matter is drawn from nature (particularly birds and fish); humorous cartoons; and photos of nature and fantasy. Each piece is one of a kind. She paints on many surfaces: canvas, wood, mirror, glass, etc. Megan Walker Rose writes “ Marina Angleton ’78, Nancy Coudriet Bolen ’78 and I met in June for a mini-reunion of our own on SoBe. We’ve been great friends since our RE days, have kept in touch and always enjoy our time together. Among the three of us we’ve lived in many interesting places since leaving high school, includ- ing stints in Calif., Va., N.C., Tenn., Ga., Nev., N.Y., Pa., Tex. and London. We’ve earned two MBAs, have been awarded nine Emmys, raised five children (three already college grads) and have kept our sanity and sense of humor through all of it! Currently Marina is founder and execu- tive producer at an international produc- tion company Right Angleton Productions, based in Miami. Nancy divides her time between Raleigh, N.C., and Caswell Beach, N.C. She has a makeup and skin care business. I live in Richmond, Va., and am currently the chairman of The Jenkins Foundation, a health care foundation that serves the underprivileged in my commu- nity through The Community Foundation. We wish all the best to our fellow 1978 classmates!” 1979 Maurice Ferré was honored last spring with the Ransom Everglades Founders’ Alumni Award for Distinguished Service to the Community, which is annually given to an alum who has helped to fulfill the vision of the founders of the Ransom and Everglades schools by showing deep concern about his or her community and demonstrating honor, courage and leader- ship.

Ellen Malinin Carpenter writes “I’ve moved from UCLA, where I was a profes- sor of psychiatry and bio-behavioral science, and chair of the undergraduate Neuroscience Interdepartmental Program to the National Science Foundation in Washington, D.C., where I serve as a program director in the Division of Undergraduate Education. I help to dis- perse about $110 million dollars in grant money to improve science, technology, engineering and mathematics teaching at undergraduate colleges and universities across the country.” 1982 Greg Glass , father of Elizabeth ’13 and Will ’16 received the Head of School Award during Alumni Weekend’s April 30 Head of School luncheon, an event that drew more than 200 attendees. The award honors exceptional service to Ransom Everglades and the local community.

See story on page 31. Harrison Murphy reports that he is still living in Northern Virginia, waiting for his last child to graduate from high Weather it was LUCK or SKILL that brought us here tonight, I wouldn’t want to be any place else with any other group of people. Before I end this toast by asking my wife Joann to lead us in a mighty cho- rus of “God Bless America,” I’d like to ask us all to lift our glass and toast each other and to 40 years … to ’76!
