Spring is here! In the spirit of new beginnings, we’ll kick off the ’01 news with birth announcements. Justin Sarma writes that he and his wife, Michelle Chui, “just had a son named Ian Atreya Sarma-Chui (’30, if he studies hard).” Gretchen (Bell) Biggins, husband Tom and daughters Abby and Sam are excited to welcome baby Thomas Joseph VI to their family. He was born on the fun date of 11/1/11. Congratulations to all of you! 


Kudos to Joe McKnight, too, as he is “on schedule to graduate May 12 with an M.B.A. from Southern Connecticut State University.” Joe continues to live in his Stratford, Connecticut, home and work full-time for Pfizer Inc. as a healthcare representative. Recently he volunteered for and completed his first two alumni interviews. He says, “It was really fun meeting potential 2016s—they were quite impressive ‘kids.’ ”
