Laird's sounds right to me--thanks for coming up with it!
We've been trying to think of the name for ages. I'll ask my sister if she thinks that's right.

Tim, I agree with you: we have a lot of musicians among the EJHS alumni! And some very successful, too! Do you guys remember Alan Krizan (either your class or a year younger), the amazingly talented violinist? I used to accompany him quite often and he was always way beyond his years musically. Anyway, he's gone on to be a professional violinist and conductor and composer. He lives in Portugal but is in Vermont off and on in the summer, as his mom still lives in VT. I just missed seeing him on this visit; Alan and his wife had planned to be at the VT recital Cindy and I were doing on the 13th, but they had to leave about a day or two early for a trip to Alaska, so they left us a phone message with their regrets.
Tim, are you a brother of Megan? What is she doing? I remember her from some theatre projects like "Under Milkwood". Did she pursue theatre at all after school?

yes, I remember sitting in the auditorium and watching Alan practice one time; I think I may have been skipping skipping class at the time. He impressed me then, and at that age not much did. He certainly was an amazing violinist and I'm not surprised that he has made a career of it.

It was my younger sister Jen (class of '78) that was into the theatre. In one of her roles she played Peter Pan for Lyric at the Flynn way back and then did an amazing repeat performance ten years later, a few years back. She has taught drama and dance around Chittenden County and has two daughters with husband Jim Lavoie ('78). My sister Meghan (class of '87, I think) was the survivor of the 1981 attack behind the pool. She is expecting her second child and lives in Burlington and is doing great!
