I am happy to announce that Sari Cohen and Adam Pollak have had their third child, a beautiful baby girl named Nedavya. Sari and Adam live in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, where Adam works as a project manager at Giant Eagle and Sari serves as a naturopathic counselor at the center for integrative medicine at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center, a part-time professor at Chatham University and is also a consultant and writer for Professional Health Products. Congratulations! In more local news, Andrew Hyman (a.k.a. “dad” around here) has switched jobs and is now chief operating officer and general counsel at Athyrium Capital Management LLC in New York City. Athyrium is a specialized asset management company focusing on investment opportunities in the global healthcare sector. I reached out to Lynn Trujillo after living vicariously through her amazing Facebook posts this year and got the following scoop on her recent travels: “This was my second three-month-plus trip to South America this year. My travel took me through Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, Chile (including Easter Island) and Argentina. I try to get down to South America at least once a year to volunteer on a cultural preservation project for a tribe in Peru that I became involved with in 2011; I usually tack on some travel after my volunteer work.” And when Al Patetta saw that the last DAM was one ’94 column short, he sent me a very touching email; I’ll let him close the column this month. “I hope this finds you well and sufficiently busy. I was disappointed to see there was no ’94 alumni news, so here’s my contribution. I am currently fighting and, I hope, winning the fight of anyone’s life with MS (ask my doctors). This is by far the toughest thing I’ve ever had to do. An ordinary day consists of getting up, eating breakfast and waiting for the para-transit bus to take me to the YMCA for some self-directed physical therapy. Then I come home, record the results of my workout in my journal, shower and eat lunch, then play games on Facebook to stay sharp. This disease has taken quite a bit from me, but I have not lost hope.” Al can be reached at alfredpatetta@gmail.com or via Facebook; I’m sure he’d love to hear from some old friends. Thanks, Al! —Suzie Fromer, 26 Irving Ave., Tarrytown, NY 10591; suziefromer@gmail.com
