Holiday Letter

November 18, 2022

To Our Many Dear, Dear Friends,

It was only when I found myself sitting in the sunroom of our Connecticut country home that I realized we had so many friends who celebrate so many holidays, why not get out in front of it all and send a pre-Thanksgiving card?! From early decision at Harvard to marrying Frederick mere days after graduation, you know I’ve always been a planner.

This year was challenging because all three of our beautiful children have finally flown the coop. Bradly is enjoying an exciting life in the ‘Big Apple’ as a Securities & Private Equity Exchanges Analyst at Marshall & Henry (he did always take after his dad), while Sarah is finding her footing as a burgeoning actress in Los Angeles, and Katie started her first year at Morningwood College (Yale’s oldest residential college). Thank god they are all either a helicopter or short jet ride away!

Our beloved Marigold (Mary, as you all knew her) passed away after 17 wonderful years with her. We are still waiting to see if the genetic testing will allow us to have an exact replica of her made. It’s new terrain for us (I never thought we’d be ‘those people’), but here we are!

I also have seen great growth in my PR consultancy. So far we have launched Kim Kardashian’s new Skims swimwear, Dom Perignon’s collaboration with Lady Gaga, and a whole line of sustainable fur coats that only use fur from rescue animals. When you love it, it doesn’t feel like work!

Frederick continues to languish at his job leading the corporate law division at GS, but I keep telling him that if he just changed his attitude things would be a lot better. He is gone way too many nights for so-called “work meetings.” Thankfully the doorman at our pied-à-terre in the city spares me the details.

Wishing you all the joys of the holiday season. We will be toasting you from the Maldives!

Best,

Sheryl
