Jacques Antebi: A quick update since I missed the reunion. We’re now living in Miami and NYC (pandemic/zoom dividend). I’m actively investing in early-stage consumer companies thorough Melitas Ventures, a VC fund launched by Alex Malamatinas (WG ’11). Kids are grown and adulting in SF and Brooklyn. Best wishes to all!

Kacey Carpenter: Happy New Year! So grateful for so much with family and friends visiting us in Oregon, traveling to Mexico, California, and Washington, and precious time together in 2022! It was an incredible year exploring Oregon tidepools, birds, and sunsets on the coast, painted hills and the history of central Oregon, and hiking, paddling, and exploring the rivers, lakes, and trails. I completed my Sierra Club local outing leader training and Kathy published her book, Aging into Poverty, The Looming Crisis for American Women. Kathy and I volunteered for several non-profits rescuing 4 dogs and 2 cats with MexiPets, serving Hunger Fighters Food Pantry, the Association of Gleaning Organizations, local candidates and political campaigns, and the Sierra Club! Super excited that Ben Jealous (civil rights leader, author, scholar, and professor at the University of Pennsylvania) is the incoming executive director of the Sierra Club. We wish everyone a safe, healthy, and happy New Year in 2023!


Steven Shapiro: After working as an analyst at Fidelity Investments, Tiger Managment and then running Intrepid Capital, a technology hedge fund, I closed up shop in 2013. Since then I’ve been managing a family investment office. Recently moved from Greenwich CT to Sarasota Florida.

Lynne Toye: I am the inaugural Executive Director of the New Jersey Arts and Culture Renewal Fund, a role I assumed at the end of 2021. The Fund was started during the pandemic and has since evolved to become a long term funder in the sector. It supports smaller arts and culture organizations across the state of New Jersey with a focus on equity in its grantmaking process. I am responsible for strategy, grantmaking and fundraising. Vince and I reside in Montclair, New Jersey.
