Hey, ’01s! 


I hope each of you had a wonderful summer. Around these parts it seemed to pass very quickly. Fortunately, as you all know, fall in New England has its perks. Homecoming is just around the corner, so if you’re heading to Hanover for the festivities, have a great time and be sure to write in and tell us about your visit. Also, keep an eye out for Amy Salomon and Matt Deninger, as they and their girls will be making the trip from North Reading, Massachusetts. This will be 3-year-old Norah’s fourth bonfire, but it’s only the first for little sister Barrett Caroline Deninger, born June 6. 


Amy and Matt are not the only ’01s with a growing family and school spirit: Rupa Magge writes that she and husband Kurt Cross are thrilled to announce the birth of their daughter Kareena Lakshmi Cross. Born April 30 in Los Angeles, where the family resides, Kareena is already sporting some Big Green duds, courtesy grandfather Bruce Cross ’64. Andrew and Karilyn (Saunders) Heisen welcomed their second child, Thomas Carl Heisen, on April 7. He joins big sister Kalae. Amelia Kahl and Alan Green had their little girl Eleanor Jaina Kahl-Green on August 21. Eric Kelley, wife Loreen and daughter Sofia added a baby boy, Alden, to their family on July 8. Erin Roeder and husband Jay Spader had daughter Hollis (Holly) Roeder Spader on January 26. Lubna Ammar and husband Shayan Habib were joined by son Zeyad Ammar Shayan Habib on May 2. Josh Morey and wife Christine Kornylak had daughter Isobel Pepper Morey on July 13. Kelly Fisher and husband Matt Walker welcomed daughter Savanna Ruby Fisher Walker on July 31. And Melissa Miranda and husband Dick Brouwer had daughter Aria Miranda Brouwer on August 7. 


In other news Ed Bialas, wife Kate and their two girls, Phoebe (3) and Milly (1), recently relocated to Houston.


Last, but not least, let’s all congratulate Abby Gillard, who recently completed the New York City Ironman in August, meeting fellow alum and first-time Ironman Chuck Rosenwasser ’06 on the bike portion of the race. Way to go, Abby!
