Hello, ’99s!

Another spring is passing us by and another class is preparing to leave Hanover. There isn’t too much news to report and so this issue of Class Notes will be brief.

Mona Kotecha writes that she and her husband, Nikhil Shanbhag (Cornell ’99, Yale Law ’03), spent Christmas in Hanover last year and enjoyed some nostalgic time at King Arthur Flour and a Christmas Eve dinner at Simon Pearce in Quechee, Vermont. Mona and Nikhil are in the Bay Area, where Mona is a clinical research director and physician at Gilead Sciences, working on developing new drugs for autoimmune and inflammatory diseases. 

In other news, Sheryl Koval Garko was recognized for her work in intellectual property law. The World Trademark Review, a guide to trademark legal services providers, praised Sheryl for her “helpful and creative advice,” which was “always of first-rate quality.” Sheryl is a principal at Fish & Richardson, a leading trademark law firm with offices in the United States and Germany. Congratulations, Sheryl!

That’s all the news for now but I look forward to sharing more news with you soon!
