RE Log - Fall 2022

76 Ransom Everglades LOG FALL 2022 Class Notes Melissa Debayle writes, “My family and I have been living in Boulder, Colo., since November 2017, and we love this town. Since retiring from radiology, I now get to be a full-time parent to three amazing little humans. We go to Miami about once a year, and this spring break I was happy to reconnect with Jessica Steiner . A couple of years ago I met up with Claudia Lipcon Winkleman and her family in Vail. I’d love to see more of you, so please reach out if you’re ever in this area!” Photo below L-R: Charlotte (7), Naomi (3), Sienna (6), Melissa Debayle, Andy Fried Marisa Fort , see Laurinda Spear E ’68 Shanté Haymore-Kearney , see Former Faculty Penny Matthews Michelle Kahn welcomed son Gabriel Crawford Kahn into the mix this spring. He was very ex- cited to join the family and meet big sister Celine! Claudia Lipcon Winkleman writes, “Our family has relocated to beautiful Vail, Colo., due to covid-19 and we have been living here for the past two years! It has been a fun adven- ture and our kids have become great skiers and are loving our greater connection to nature and the outdoors. We continue to visit Miami often to connect with family and friends. Please reach out if you head out west; we always love having visitors to our little mountain town.” Photo above: Claudia Lipcon Winkleman and family. 1999 Class Agents: Benjamin Brodsky (benjamin.brodsky@gmail.com) , Fernando Tamayo (ftamayo17@gmail.com ), Jennifer Urizar (jenny.urizar@gmail.com) Andy P. Amendola writes, “I went on an F1 [Formula 1] racing podcast with another Ransom Everglades alumna, Danielle Rudy Davis ’02 . How crazy is that! Thought you would get a kick out of that. I’m a long-time Miami resident, dad of two, and a passionate F1 fan. When I tried to find racing-related children’s books for my kids to share that passion with them, there wasn’t much available. So, I decided to write my own. Currently the books are avail- able via pre-orders here at www. RedRacerBooks. com (shipping internationally), and we are in a few stores in Miami.” Jerri Hertzberg Bassuk , see Former Faculty Bobbie Bassuk Michelle Kanter Cohen is Policy Director and Senior Counsel at Fair Elections Center, a nonpartisan nonprofit in Washington, D.C., that works to dismantle barriers to voting.

We had a blast celebrating with many of you at the REunion in April and appreciated REconnecting with those of you who were not able to attend. We’d like to thank the rest of the REunion Committee, especially our amazing hostess, Olivia Arellano Espinosa (and her husband, Fern). Also a special shout-out to 2022 RE Athletic Hall of Fame inductee, Joner Strauss , for donating the awesome Skatebird Brew for the party. A big thank you to ev- eryone who pitched in to help underwrite the party costs. And thank you to those who traveled from afar to party with us (including Boston, Chicago, Costa Rica, Houston, L.A., New York and Seattle, with Renee Sterling getting the award for flying in from London).
