Sara Zrike wrote in about her July wedding to Ryan Casey in Boston at the State Room. “The wedding was rescheduled two previous times due to Covid and the third time was truly a charm. Our daughter, Isabella, was 2 and served as a flower girl. There were a number of ’99s representing the Big Green. Catherine Maxson Pieroni, Cynthia Anderson Hansen, and Debbie Bender Llewelyn were bridesmaids and Erin Loback Berthiaume, Cassie Miller Birtwistle, Elysa Jacobs Blumenthal, Chris Ross, Heather Harnett Ross, David Wagner, Adrienne Wilson Wagner, and Elizabeth Tripoli Laighlin helped us dance the night away!” Congratulations, Sara!
Gretchen Saegh-Fleming wrote in with some more alumni news to celebrate: “In early February in Chicago the Hon. Beth Westman Jantz was sworn in as a U.S. magistrate judge for the Northern District of Illinois. Beth was formerly a member of the federal defender program and a lawyer at Sidley and Austin in Chicago. I was at the incredible investiture ceremony with Kallie Willets. I am a marketer based in New Jersey and Kallie is a professor of chemistry at Temple University in Philadelphia.” Congratulations, Beth!
Our 25th reunion chairs Jeff Fine and Catherine Maxson Pieroni wrote in to say how incredibly excited they are to kick off reunion planning. “During the next 16 months we’ll put together an amazing schedule of events, panels, kids’ activities, parties at the class tent, class BBQ, class dinner on Baker lawn, and so many other festivities. Do you still have your ’99 sweater or class jersey? How about the Winter Carnival T-shirt from our senior year? Reunion will be an opportunity to connect with classmates from ’round the girdled earth, cherish old memories, and make new ones. It will be a time to show campus to your significant other and kids, visit your favorite ‘study’ spot on campus, get lost trying to navigate all the new dorms, buy a new sweatshirt at the Co-op, eat a donut at Lou’s, and so much more. We have a committee of 12 of your classmates helping to plan the weekend and would love two or three more volunteers to join us.” Reach out to Jeff or Catherine with any questions.
Until next time,
