Jon Weigand BA ’97 writes: “I moved back to Portland with my family in 2017. After marrying my partner in Tucson a decade ago, we moved to Seattle. Our two daughters have now entered elementary school, and our entire family careens from week to week, trying to keep wheels on the rails. In 2020, I’ll start work on Pinocchio, produced by Shadow Machine and Netflix.”
