Sharon Loferski Engler writes: “I hope everyone is doing well. My husband Bill and I have five children, two labrador retrievers, one calico kitty, and six chickens! We live on the island of Martha’s Vineyard and are doing well. Lots of exciting things happening in our family. Our daughter Rose, age 25, graduated from Brown in 2022. She went on to the University of Utah to earn her master’s in business creation and is now attending Warren Alpert Medical School. She is learning and loving every moment of it all. Our son Owen, 23 years old, graduated from Boston College in 2023 and is now attending his second year at Northeastern School of Law. He has helped to bring Lawyer for a Day to Dukes County courthouses, including at Martha’s Vineyard. He will be working at Kirkland & Ellis and is very excited about the law and all that he is learning. Jack, 18 years old, is a senior at Martha’s Vineyard Regional High School and excited to play in his senior basketball game. He will be attending college in the fall, just not sure where yet (Brown, perhaps??). Lucy, 16 years old, is a sophomore in high school and is severely disabled. She has cerebral palsy and cannot walk, talk, or feed herself. She is happy and a ball of pure love. Our oldest son, August, 26 years old, passed away in January. We are learning how to understand that he is still here with us, just in a different way. Living on Martha’s Vineyard is so beautiful. I am a special education teacher on the island. I would love to hear from fellow Brunonians. Come visit the island and I would love to see you!”
