Andrew Shelden writes: “It’s been 20+ years since I’ve submitted a class note. Since then I’ve gotten married, moved back to near my home town in Vermont, celebrated 25 years of marriage to my wife, Marcy (UVM ’95), and raised a son, Ethan (SDSU ’24), to at least adulthood, if not yet independence. I’ve stayed in touch with my roommates Eric Humke and David Bowsher ’95, with whom I get together almost every year for a weekend of fun, reminiscing, and acting like we’re still living in Young O 30 years ago. I also have been a board member of our regional alumni club, the Brown Club of the Upper Valley (NH/VT), where Barbara Smith Langworthy ’63, Sara Lightner ’98, Lys Ray ’92, ’93 MAT, Todd Taska ’81 and I attempt to cajole area alumni to various events with highly suspect success rates. With all of that, my best alumni moments have been reconnecting with former Brown Ultimate players. I reunited with many beginning in 2022 at USA Ultimate College Nationals in Milwaukee with a crowd led by David Stevenson ’96 cheering on the ’22 Brownian Motion men’s team to a second-place finish. I returned again in ’23 with a smaller group to Cincinnati (Austin Lear ’97, Ben Saper ’07, and Ben Galeota-Sprung ’05) and most recently to Madison, Wisconsin in ’24 with fellow 30-year reunion classmate Jeff Albenberg and another 30 alumni to cheer on BMo to their fourth national championship win. On the heels of that fantastic experience, David Stevenson, John Toupin ’85, Kyle Weisbrod ’02 and I organized an amazing celebration of 50 years of Brown Ultimate, which just wrapped up over Indigenous Peoples’ Day weekend with over 250 participants filling Sayles Hall with absolutely fantastic energy.” Contact Andrew at [email protected].
