Mieka Freund Wick writes: “I live in my hometown of Washington, D.C., with my two children, Annabelle (16) and Sam (13), and my husband, David. I am the executive director of the J. Willard and Alice S. Marriott Foundation. David works in executive search for Spencer Stuart. Annabelle is a high school rower and Sam spends all of his free time on the basketball court. I’m in regular touch with Cynthia Fleming Ingelfinger, who lives with her family in Whitefish, Montana, and Danielle Taylor Holmes , who moved with her family to St. Thomas during the pandemic. I had the chance to visit with Arielle Strem en route to Maine last summer and frequently see Abigail Ross Goodman ’98. I also had a fun evening catching up with Dan Joss in San Francisco while there for work last fall. There are a few classmates in and around D.C., none of whom I see very often, sadly, though Jeff Nussbaum and I keep trying. I will forever be indebted to Ted Sizer ’94 PhD, who turned me on to the numerous social injustices in our country’s public education system while working and studying with him as an undergrad. It is because of him that I do the work that I do and continue to love it every single day.”
