  • Brian Shactman

    How does a public school kid from a small town north of Boston end up at Exeter, Amherst, and then become a broadcast journalist covering three Olympic Games, the World Cup, the Super Bowl, the World Series and presidential primaries for ESPN, MSNBC, CNBC and more -- only to end up living a stone's throw from another boarding school? Follow the windy road as we turn the tables on Project ' '90 host Brian Shactman.

  • Nick Unger

    The ONE class member who still lives on campus! So many surprises to this conversation as Nick was enigmatic to many of us (me). Did he know people viewed him as the smartest kid at Exeter? Yes. But that doesn't mean he liked it ... or did he?

  • Samuel Dowe-Sandes

    What a life! From Vermont to Exeter to Connecticut to Vermont to New York to L.A. to Morocco, Samuel Dowe-Sandes is living an amazing and dynamic life. I did not know him well, but I new him enough to sense his positive energy and self confidence -- still the case. Such a great conversation.

    Andre came from Sao Paulo to PEA for two years. And he was my roommate! An exceedingly thoughtful intellectual, Andre reflects on PEA and life in Brazil (with his 4 sons!).

  • Eileen Kane

    Brilliant, brave and totally transparent (I couldn't find a third good "B" word to keep the alliteration going.) Could have talked to her for days.

  • John Palfrey

    What can you say about John Palfrey? He runs a multi-billion dollar foundation, was a Harvard dean, as well as school head for the enemy (Andover) and just so happens to be a wonderful guy. It should be annoying -- but it's not! Another amazing conversation, and message to the Exeter board: Give him a call ;-)

  • Lara Heimert

    Lara sits atop the publishing world, but there is SO MUCH more to her journey than books and a brilliant mind. We delve into her time at Exeter but also do a deep dive into becoming a mom in her 40's and how that impacts life in her 50s.

  • Ira Wolfson

    Part of the infamous/legendary Main Street crew, Ira has had a tremendous career in banking. But did you know that Exeter was NOT his first choice? What?!?! In his own unique, edgy and humorous way, we learn about his journey to and through Exeter and why he's going to work until they tell him he can't.

  • Robert Dixon

    Robert's journey to Exeter is fascinating, and his life experience since is another example of the full range of paths that members of the Class of '90 have taken. It was such a joy to talk more with someone in one day than I had in my full lifetime.

  • Jon Neuhaus

    Our 1989-90 Class President has led quite the life. We catch up with the legendary Newy and learn what he's been up to -- and even teases us about the things he CAN'T tell us. SUCH an enjoyable half hour.
