progressive politics and civic engagement
at the local level. She writes,
“The idea behind starting the group
was: ‘Great, we got our President,
but the work can’t stop now.’ ‘Keep it
moving’ is more or less our motto,
and we have had a number of events
since launching.” Ashley has also
been peripherally involved in Kamala
Harris’s campaign for Attorney General
of California. “In June, we had a
big fundraiser for her in Oakland.
Wanda Holland Greene came with
her husband, Robert, so I got to
spend some quality time with them
both, which was totally delightful!”
In her spare time, Ashley is pursuing
her PhD in film studies at Berkeley, is
committed to doing social justice
work, and is helping out part-time at
a legal services nonprofit organization
in San Francisco.

also find math too fun to ignore.”

of the earthquakes and avoided the
military coup, what a summer down
there! This fall, I will assume a new
position at the Brooks School in
North Andover, where I will teach

ALUMNI NIGHT
AT FENWAY
T U E S D AY, M AY 1 9 , 2 0 0 9
On a brisk May evening, over fifty Park Alumni and
their guests came together at Fenway Park for the
Annual Alumni Night at Fenway. With Tim
Wakefield on the mound, the Red Sox beat the
Toronto Blue Jays 2–1. Our group enjoyed
seeing “Welcome Park Alumni” displayed
on the Jumbotron, munching on
Cracker Jacks and reconnecting
with old friends.
