Class Notes
1960s
Pamela Giles ‘68
I am still proud to have been a member of the dynamic, innovative Class of 1968. We are still a connected class cheering each other on! Despite my intentions at age eighteen when I graduated from high school, I have devoted my professional life to Waldorf education as a class teacher and mentor. One my current great joys is coming to Steiner and working with a new generation of enthusiastic class teachers. Who could have predicted?
1990s
Stephen Francis ‘90
I married a New Orleans girl 25 years ago in May, and the inevitable result of doing that is that you wind up living in New Orleans, where I moved in 2009. Jennifer and I have three daughters, two of whom are currently attending LSU Honors College, with the third to graduate from high school next year. I am an assistant general counsel at Entergy Corporation, and Jennifer is a nurse practitioner at the cardiac electrophysiology clinic at Oschner. I keep in regular touch with classmates Alex Kadvan, Joseph Adago, Marc Nioche, Luke O’Malley and James Budde. I recently used my Steiner woodworking skills to build a backyard tiki bar, and enjoy life in New Orleans with its many excuses to use my old handwork skills to make all manner of costumes. Give me a shout if you find yourself coming to New Orleans!
2010s
Lily Geiger ‘14
Lily Geiger started Figlia, a non-alcoholic Aperitivo, in 2020 after a lifetime of watching her father battle with alcoholism and eventually losing him to the disease. Prior to launching Figlia, Lily was born and raised in New York City and spent the start of her career in Los Angeles, where she worked in brand marketing for brands such as Beautycounter, APL, Heyday, Summer Fridays and more.
