Nineties
Terri Towle '90 is
married with two children, Clara (4) and Cole (1 1/2). After
ten years as gallery director, she has gone back to school to get
teacher certification.
Amy Wescott '90 left Chicago about five years ago with husband and
two children, Gabrielle, age 6, and Noah, age 4. Amy writes: "My children
are cool and insightful, and refer to WalMart as 'naughty WalMart.' I
live in this pristine Mountain Community -- work with the judicial system
part-time, am starting to get back into some photography, have taken
up rock climbing, and well, it is a bit of lala land here right now."
Edward McKillop '91 writes: "Darren and I approach our third
year together --stability is new and strange, but I think I like it.
We are thinking about buying a house now that all the 23-year-old dot-commers
are not upping the prices of everything. I am grateful that I remain employed
in this rather unstable West-coast economy; the security industry is a good
place to be! I work with very smart people and it keeps me on my toes, to
be sure. I visited Yellow Springs last year for the first time since graduation,
and I was amazed at the physical plant. The buildings are inspiring and the
students don't wreck stuff. In fact, I was treated like I was the survivor
of a grim tragedy, when some administrators I spoke to learned what years
I was at school (86-91). It's good to know students again have an especially
positive environment to experience."
Meredith Chaparro '91: "Still married after 11 years and 3 children
(ages 9, 5, and 3). We recently returned from Argentina after living there
for seven years. While getting used to central heat and air has been a pleasure,
it's difficult to conform to New Jersey's Taliban-like regime
when it comes to child safety laws. From 8-year-olds in car seats to
bicycle helmets (not just for bicycles anymore but for ice-skating,
walking, sleeping,
etc.), am I the only one opposed to mandatory hep-B vaccine for young
children? On a brighter note, while maybe not the land of the free,
it is definitely
the land of opportunity. I have obtained a teaching certificate in
Spanish and am already teaching in a public high school."
Stacy Horowitz '91 writes: "After I left Antioch in '91
(no thanks to my so-called friends), I graduated from Goddard in 1993. Then
I went to graduate school at UMass Amherst and received a Master's
in Labor Studies. I moved to Nantucket Island and began working in the public
schools -- which is so much fun! I'd love to hear from old friends!

Lisa Jaffee (Jaffee-Adhicary) '92 writes: "I'm back on
the West Coast! I've been here since November of 1994. Although I've
written to some of my fellow 92 alums, I've gotten quite busy in my
career and other activities and have nearly dropped out of the written correspondence
arena. However, I lovingly remember my classmates and friends and all of
the events and activities we shared almost as if I'd graduated and
left Antioch only a few years ago! I now own and live in a townhouse condominium
in Federal Way. (I'm located 30 minutes south of Seattle, the city
where I was born and raised.) The Seattle area is growing more and more culturally
and ethnically diverse and cosmopolitan by the day! Also, the mountains and
water and evergreens I've always loved continue to remind me how thrilled
I am to have been able to come back again and build a life and career here
in the Northwest. I work as a Spanish Interpreter/Translator (and Client
Advocate) for the Seattle-King County Department of Public Health. I'm
also the Vice President and the Newsletter Coordinator for the Society of
Medical Interpreters (SOMI), and I truly enjoy participating in all of the
continuing education and social networking opportunities organized and sponsored
by SOMI and other professional interpreter organization. Please send me an
email if you remember me. I'd love to reconnect, reminisce and catch
up! Email: LRJaffee@aol.com."
Thomas J. Leet '92 writes: "You know I took our school's
motto, that great guilt trip from the grave, very seriously. But, until last
year, working as a 32-year-old receptionist, I wasn't really on the
fast track for humanitarian achievement. Then I got the notice from my landlord.
My crummy little apartment building, one of the last affordable refuges in
stylish Dupont Circle, DC, was up for sale. I saw my chance to absolve myself
of Horace Mann's shame and went for it. Since November 15, 2000, I've
been leading my neighbors (64 apartments) in negotiations to at first prevent
the sale, then to buy the building cooperatively, and finally to receive
cash compensation to vacate peacefully. Ultimately we won $8,800 per apartment
to vacate by the end of the year.If not for "the Antioch experience",
I would not have had the audacity to bring an $8,000,000 real estate deal
to a grinding halt for a year by organizing a building full of strangers.
More than a dozen languages are spoken in my building. Many nations, religions,
ethnicities, ages, classes, etc. are represented in the group, as well as
an interesting mix of families and gays and lesbians. It was an amazing thing
to see them all come together. I want to share my story to give hope to all
the other College grads that ended up in a cubicle somewhere. I want to demonstrate
that extraordinary events emerge from the most ordinary circumstances. I
really wasn't looking for a chance to do good. It just fell in my lap.
Antioch instincts guided me from there. I won my victory for humanity without
even trying. At last I can die without shame.This experience has led me to
study for licenses in real estate and property management with an eye toward
development, sales and management of affordable housing in the District of
Columbia. Government handouts have failed, and gentrification has been the
unfortunate response. My goal is to stabilize neighborhoods one home at a
time by organizing and empowering lower income earners to become home owners.
I'm working with other buildings in distress and slowly building a
business and a client base."
Betty Jean (BJ Soto) Horgeshimer '92 writes: "Just received my
Master's degree in teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages.
Beginning a career in Higher Ed ESL. It ain't easy after 9/11. Married
a nice poetic mathematician. Don't find much time for poetry anymore,
so basically, I remain unfulfilled and have yet to win my victory for humanity.
But I still got another 40-50 years in me, so life ain't all that bad
after all, I guess."
Benson Hoffman (Hendricks-Hoffman) '93: "My
wife Jenny and I had our first child on 5/11/01, Sadie Anna Hoffman."
Shawn Miller '93 emails: "Any old friends, please feel free to
call or email. I'm always glad to hear from you. Please contact me
if you are passing through the DC Metro area at 3817 Leland Street,
Chevy Chase, Maryland 20815. Email: shawn@boo.net."
Bernard Marglous '93 writes: "I'm married to my soul mate
Berri and working in my dream job, helping people with disabilities achieve
their dreams. I'm also working on completing my third book."
Lainie Holman '93 writes: "I graduated from medical school in
June 2002 and begin a residency in Pediatrics and Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation
in July 2002. I have two lovely children -- Emma 7 and Samuel 5."
Terri Voorhees '94 writes: "I am currently
in Cincinnati working on my dissertation which has the working title:
Confronting the Other: Faculty
and students confronting culture, ethnicity, race and identity in a
small rural college. I hope to finish it in the summer of 2002. I am
also teaching a course at the University of Cincinnati in foreign languages,
education,
linguistics and anthropology (gotta pay the bills somehow). In my free
time
(hah!), I am working at trying to BS my way through three major academic
presentations at conferences this spring. About to turn 30 and exclusively
wearing trousers! Anyhow, I would love to hear from other former Antiochians.

Andrea Martin '94 writes: "Married Todd Clay, a man I met thanks

Daniel Scheiman '94 writes: "For those of you that missed the
wedding in Rockford Chapel in 94, my long-time love and best friend, Alexis
Young (almost Antioch Grad), and I got married just after graduation. I'm
a Social Worker and Alex, along with working for an antique store, is still
doing freelance art work. We have a son Gabriel, who's now 5, and a
semi-crazed cat named Basil. The best to all."

moved back to NY.
Nicole Crist '96 writes: "Hey kids! After years of mental mulling,
I have started grad school in Special Ed. Kids are fun, and I can dress up
in costumes and not be deemed mentally incompetent. Kent State is so big
and un-Antioch-ish, but that seems so long ago now. I'm gonna see you
on the astral plane."

to law school, not a jerk anymore. If you got something to say to me, good
