Pre – 1995


Darryl Tamash has been very active with working with the team ever since he left. Even though he and Theresa are living in Orlando, Florida, they still finding ways to help us out. Darryl was coaching at Rollins College for a couple of years and is now working for the Orange County Sheriff’s Department. The sailing team has traveled down to Rollins College twice and has spent the week working with the FJ’s and Coach Tamash. He’s still the same clown as when he was in high school.

1995


Caitlin Macallister finished her degree at Tufts University and was a 4 time Women’s All-American Driver. She had a very successful sailing career at Tufts. Wanting to keep on the water, Caitlin went south and taught sailing for a year in Miami, but eventually gave into the real world. She is now working in Boston at Thompson Financial and is planning on attending grad school next September.

1996


Megan Farrington writes from Georgia! Her email was very intriguing to me as she is involved with Art Auction Houses and in the business. She hopes to graduate from the Savannah College of Art and Design with an M.F.A. in August. After that she plans on going into law school which will focus on Art Law. In addition to school and work, she has been doing some fundraising for the Auction house. She says Georgia is a far cry from Cape Cod, it is very different.

Eric Knight has been seen coaching high school sailing. Last spring he took the Assistant Coaches position at Belmont Hill. (Yes, Barnstable beat Belmont last year!) He is back on the water during the summer sailing his J22 with James Stusse and his Dad. But, the big news was that Eric is now engaged and the story of the engagement is one you will want to hear from Eric.

Theresa Robichaud finished her degree at Rollins College and is now married and living in Florida with a former BHS Sailor. Darryl Tamash and Theresa were married 3 years ago and have never left Florida. Theresa works for a software company making computer applications.

James Stusse checked in from Newport, RI as only James can do. He is working as a Naval Architect trying to design "trick ass bling-bling racing sleds", but so far hasn't cracked the market. In his free time, he has been spending time with his pet dolphin named Chicken. James says Chicken has a strange habit of sitting on the internet chasing his nemesis Radar....for those of you who remember MASH. As you can see, James is doing well and enjoying life as a Naval Architect. It was good to hear from him.

John Mercaldo, according to James, is living in Brazil. James says he is working as a sub sea AUV technician. We are not sure if this is true or if James is trying to spark some interest on the page, but either way, what is a sub sea AUV technician?????? Thanks for the update James.

Where are Brandon Chariff, and Pete Conway?

MaryKate Moniz has been involved with the team and here in Barnstable. She spent last year teaching Spanish and helping out with the team in the Spring. She had graduated from Hobart and rumor is she is now teaching in Harwich.

Jenny Cardone has transferred to Vassar College and is planning on attending Grad School. She is working as a substitute teacher and working at a Kayak Shop. It is not sailing, but at least she is on the water.

Melissa St. Onge graduated from Salve Regina and is back on the Cape, “trying to figure out the long term”. Melissa is working in Chatham, we are not sure what she is doing, but surely she is smiling.

Andrew Nugnes has arrived home after working promo sales in Boston and Pittsburg. He tried to strike it rich, but it didn’t happen. He spent last summer back at Oyster Harbors laboring on the Golf Course, cutting greens and watering grass. Since then, word is he has become interested in the Food and Service Industry and is looking to learn the trade.

Shelly Wentworth has been real busy sailing. After finishing up at Georgetown, where she earned All-American honors and was a crew on the team that won the Team Racing National Championship, she was of to Bermuda to teach sailing for the summer. She left just days before the big hurricane hit. She has also been down to Annopolis, MD to do a big time women’s event. What she is doing from there is anyone guess as she says.

Abbey Curran and I bumped into each other this summer. Abbey is doing very well. She made it through college and was on her way out to California. She was hoping to catch on with some contacts in the record industry and work towards a career in the music industry. She was still doing some sailing, but not nearly enough.

Sarah Parkerchecked in from Boston. She finished up an accounting degree at Bryant College and caught on right away in Boston working for a major accounting firm. She is doing very well and is living in Brookline, MA. Last we knew, she was still a picky eater and needed to rearrange her sandwiches before she could eat.

Kristin Farrington graduated form Wheaton College and is working towards her Masters of Fine Arts. This degree will take her into the interior architecture and design field and she should be done with her Master by 2005. Once she is done, she’ll be trying to catch on with a design firm in Boston.

Clare O’Keeffe has checked in from Dartmouth College where she is a Sophomore. She had a busy summer coaching sailing at Hyannisport YC and the word is she really, really likes Dartmouth. Clare is sailing at Dartmouth and is working her way up the ladder. Hopefully she will track Robin Deliso down and tell Robin to get in touch with us.

Anthony Mazzeo called from a car ride back from the airport. He is a sophomore at St. Mary’s College and is doing great. With his freshmen year behind him and a year wiser he is starting to make strides on a very competitive team. He has been sailing a bunch and as always enjoying himself. Over the summer Anthony was one of the Racing Coaches at Wianno YC, hopefully he will come back for another year.

Cyrus Buffum …aka…”Guns” has been trying to sail at College of Charleston….you see, if he can stop getting hurt he may be able to do it. Cyrus injured himself last spring in a snowboarding accident and had to undergo surgery to fix his arm. With the arm heeled, he worked all summer at Wianno YC teaching little kids how to sail a 420. As always, Cyrus has jokes and keep us entertain. He does plan on sailing this year for Charleston.
