RE Log Spring 2019

44 Ransom Everglades LOG SPRING 2019 Class Notes twins Phoebe and Chase) all became dual U.S.-Australia citizens, cementing our at- tachment to our new home. Last year we were fortunate enough to have Elaine Broad ’86 and family come visit us while Elaine was on assignment in New Zealand for a year. We took them out for a surf session, but with Robin being the world’s worst surf instructor/forecaster, they all ended up in the middle of a rain storm. We look forward to any RE alum visits, including Robin’s brother, Michiel van de Kreeke ’88 , who in the eight years Robin has lived in Sydney has yet to come visit because he thinks his old- man body can’t fold himself into an air- plane for the 20-hour voyage to Sydney. 1987 Class Agents: Adriana Atwill (lafuente@bellsouth.net ), Don Lutton (donaldlutt@aol.com ), Todd Poses (tsposes@aol.com ), Jodie Weitzer Rozencwaig (jodierozen@mac.com ), Vanessa Greene Steinberg (vanessa@trialworks.com ) Tony Kim photographed Derek Jeter for the November cover of Ocean Drive magazine (below).
