Class Note 1992
Issue
Jan - Feb 2016
Our class president Jenn Newsom, vice president Michelle Davis and reunion chair Julie Cillo (and daughter Hanna) carried the Class of the Year banner in the Homecoming parade on October 9. Michelle’s husband, Tom Davis, their daughter, Lindsay, and Jenn’s son, Eddie, were also there, throwing candy to the crowd. Jenn added: “Dave Harrison (and his wife and daughter) and Tony Moody (and his kids) were there, and Jessie Levine came for the game on Saturday!”
That weekend there was also a mini-reunion in Arlington, Virginia, hosted by Patricia Gagnon and attended by Hill Wellford, Maury Wray, Elaine Anderson, Kathleen O’Rourke, Meredith Benedict and Anne Hammer.

Big congrats to two classmates who won Emmy awards in September!
Matthew Mosk won his third Emmy, for Outstanding Business and Economic Reporting in a Regularly Scheduled Newscast. “I work with a really talented group in the ABC investigative unit,” he wrote, “and we are always on the hunt for the next great story. (Send tips my way!) I live in Annapolis, Maryland, where my wife, Karin, has a psychology practice and my daughter, 13, and son, 11, are rink rats at the Naval Academy ice rink. I recently joined the board of the alumni mag to help support and encourage more great articles about our incredibly impressive classmates.”
David Benioff also won an Emmy, for Outstanding Writing for a Drama Series, one of 12 record-breaking awards for Game of Thrones (the most wins by a series in a single year). There are some entertaining photos from the HBO after party, but I can’t run them in this space (which is also not a gossip column).
Even more delightful—and at our age, rare—than some well-earned hardware (sorry, guys), is the news of weddings and babies, and I was recently thrilled to hear about one of each.
David Miller was married to Dr. Tehilla Adams of Toronto, Ontario, on August 30, 2015. “Many classmates were in attendance: Andy Han, Doug Jamison, David Pichler, Matt Ahrens, Robin Kalish and also Bob Petry ’94,” David wrote. “These friendships have endured an incredible 26 years. Tehilla is a pediatric anesthesiologist and brings the brains to the relationship. I provide marketing and customer success consulting services to various technology firms in the New York metro area.” Tehilla, David and David’s son, Asher (almost 3 years old), live together in Manhattan.
Melissa Rich wrote: ‘We could not be more excited to welcome Parker Graham Riley Skehan to our family. Parker was born at 2:12 a.m. on October 15 at 7 pounds, 6 ounces. Big sister Natalie is in for a big surprise!” Melissa and her husband, Rob Skehan, live in San Francisco. Melissa is taking some time off through the end of the year to figure out what’s next career-wise after closing her social entrepreneurial business, InterSchola, after 11 years. “I am looking for new ideas and collaborations in social impact,” she wrote.
Keep on sending me your delightful, impressive or even everyday news. Also let me know if you’re interested in helping out as we start making plans for the big reunion—it’s a great way to connect with other members of the great class of 1992 (to think I used to laugh at the old fossils who referred to their classes that way).
