Class Note 2001

Issue

Sep - Oct 2017

Happy last days of summer, ’01s! Graduations, meet-ups, babies and an election to report.

Tom Campbell recently completed his M.B.A. from the University of Washington Foster School of Business in Seattle. Now that he is out of school again he is looking forward to a more relaxing summer this year! He also said that he ran into Mamie (Fitzgerald) Marcuss at a fundraising dinner last month. They had a nice time catching up. Pavan Nihalani and his wife, Avni Doshi, also spent some time with fellow ’01s recently. As part of a trip to California, they visited Pablo Stern in San Francisco and Jeet Sohal in Los Angeles. They also spent a lot of time outside of the cities, hiking in Mineral King—a remote part of Sequoia National Park—and in Joshua Tree.

We have some baby news as well. Our esteemed previous class secretary has not forgotten the ’01 class notes and sent word of her newest addition. Kristina (Duran) Panettiere welcomed Margaret Rose on May 9. Big sister Eve (3) is enjoying the life of an older sibling but recently observed that “the baby doesn’t really do anything.” The entire family plans to spend some time in Connecticut and Maine this summer in addition to a trip to Storyland with friends. Richard Baek wrote in to share the arrival of Maxwell Lee Baek back in April. Congratulations to all!

Finally, Chance Hill is running for University of Colorado regent in Colorado’s 5th Congressional District. There are nine regents elected throughout Colorado who sit on a board that governs all four campuses of the University of Colorado system. With 32,000 employees, the CU system is the third largest employer in the state. He asks everyone to “please check out my campaign video and website at chanceforcuregent.com. Any donations are greatly appreciated! Between the campaign and my job as a relatively new attorney at a law firm in Colorado Springs, I have been busy!” Best of luck, Chance!

Don’t forget that Homecoming Weekend is October 6-7. I hope that many of you will attend and share some memories with the rest of us.
