Wilson Fung has lived in Hong Kong since early 1996, with his wife and daughter, Zoe. Wilson works for the Chinese government. Erik Schrei also lived and worked in Hong Kong for about 15 years. His daughter was born in Hong Kong, and they recently moved back to Delaware with the family. Also abroad is Gillian (Wilbur) Stratmann, who lives in Melbourne, Australia. Sara Brady and her husband, Kevin, have two kids, Finn and Maeve. Sara is a professor at CUNY. Deirdre Coolidge lives in Fanwood, N.J., with her husband and two sons, Charlie and Grifn. Deirdre earned her MBA and works for New York Life. Erin McLaughlin Roark has been living in Philadelphia since 2003 with her husband. She is a senior associate and architect at WRT and serves on the board of AIA Philadelphia as director of equity, diversity and inclusion. She is currently working on a streetscape project that includes a bus shelter on South New Street in Bethlehem. Valerie Colyvas Lingo lived in Wayne, Pa., with her husband, twin girls, who attend Cornell, and their younger sister. She recently ran into Kristi (Kungl) Deiuliis and Paul Deiuliis while sitting on the beach at the Jersey Shore. She keeps in close touch with Lauren (Whitman) Ordower, Tracy (Costaldo) Gardener and Laura (Hite) Lawhead and Scott Lawhead. Fritz Lloyd lives in Moorestown, N.J., with wife, Suzanne. His daughter, Natalie, attends UVM as a pre-med undergraduate. His son, Mitchell, will start at the University of Maryland this fall and is playing on the lacrosse team—last year’s NCAA champ. Fritz has worked at BMS near Princeton for 11 years in business development. Prior to committing to Maryland, Fritz took Mitch on a tour of Lehigh and showed him the “pond” and “third tier” behind ATO. Seems like Maryland was a good decision. I’m still pissed at Bret Almassy for throwing me in that pond. Yes, I know, one more topic with my therapist. Glad to hear everyone is doing well! I hope to see many of you at a tailgate this fall! ’95Bridget O’Connell, 1840 Sycamore St., Bethlehem, PA 18017.

In other alumni news: Cicely Horsham-Brathwaite, Ph.D., was promoted to managing partner of coaching at TheManagement Center, a management consulting frm inWashington, D.C.

Cicely will continue to support private industry executives and companies in her New York-based boutique executive coaching and organizational consulting frm Brathwaite Consulting, PLCC. Pete Kenny continues to get together once a year with Mark Willmann, Scott Regan and his twin Chris Kenny to catch up, tell old stories, share new ones and embrace the comradery we built in our early days at Lehigh. They’ve kept this streak going, even with COVID, by rotating meeting locations between the States or “across the pond” in London, where Chris lives. Kristina (Olsen) Roney shared that after choosing to leave a career in accounting and pursue a master’s and Ph.D. in French in 2011, she graduated with anM.A. in 2013 and Ph.D. in 2018. In 2019, she accepted a visiting assistant professor of French position at Washington and Lee University in Lexington, Va. This past academic year, she was selected for the tenure-track position following a national search. Kristina is pleased to announce that she is now an assistant professor of French at Washington and Lee and will be taking up permanent residency in Lexington. Her research combines her background in accounting and fnance with French literature by situating texts within economic history. On the personal front, she married in 2001 and has three children, ages 18, 17 and 12. Her oldest just graduated from high school after spending their senior year studying in France and will be attending Sarah Lawrence College to study architecture and play soccer. Her second child will be a senior in high school and applying to colleges with plans to also run track, and the youngest is heading into the second year of middle school. She shared that if anyone is near Lexington, or is sending a child of toWashington and Lee, please feel free to reach out! Sandy (Wu) Johnson and Olin Johnson have lived in Plainsboro, N.J. (Princeton area), for the last 22 years. Her boys, Luke (UPenn sophomore) and Shane (Middlebury freshman) will both be of to college, and they will be empty nesters! Sandy and Olin could not convince their kids to go to Lehigh, but they’re always sporting their Lehigh gear, including a “vintage” Engineers football sweatshirt. Fortunately, they will continue to cheer for their kids in their collegiate sports. Luke’s track and cross country meets (Go Quakers!) and Shane’s football games (Panthers!). Sandy regularly gets together with Amy (Blake) Marx, Carey Pitman, Allison (Friedman) Adornato and Kim (Lake) Mrvica. She sees Gene Hsiao, who lives in the area, too. Dave Roberts is an expat, living in Australia with his wife and son, and he works in a hospital as a doctor doing various rotations, looking to decide one day on what to do in his life (nothing has changed). He says living in Australia is challenging sometimes, being so far from “home,” Long Island and family … the bagels and pizza. He often fondly thinks about his time at Lehigh, wishes he could attend alumni weekends and reunions, but it is just too far. ’96Jen (Crimmins) Keen, 17 Windsor Drive, Foxborough, MA 02035.
