Teaque Lenahan, Amy and their five-year old, Tierney, love their third year of living on an island near Seattle. Teaque was recently promoted to executive director at Frog Design Inc., the global innovation consultancy, and is enjoying his design strategy work in a diverse portfolio of healthcare, consumer electronics, retail, digital sport and nonprofit innovation.

Other classmates attending were Evan Auyang, Elaine Co, Dongho Kang, Jenny Lee, Heng Choon Lim, Margaret Quan Lui, Ying Luo, Gary Mui and Xandra Ramos. Many thanks to Li Zhang who helped with the logistics, but was unfortunately not able to join the reunion due to last minute arrangements.
