This issue’s news falls into two categories: babies and art. First we’ll do the baby news. 


On September 21 K.J. (Hennessey) Hill and Greg Hill welcomed the birth of their daughter Louisa. The couple lives in West Hartford, Connecticut. Greg graduated this past spring from the MALS program at Dartmouth with a degree in creative writing and K.J. is currently an obstetrics/gynecology resident at the University of Connecticut. 


In October I heard from Brian Jacobs: “My partner, Hervé Pierini, and I wanted to announce the birth of our twins Emma and Noah on June 6, 2011. I’m taking the year off from finishing up my Ph.D. at Princeton to take care of them and it’s been so wonderful so far.”


Now, on to the art news. Kathy Grayson wrote to fill me in about the contemporary art gallery that she opened in New York City this past summer. The gallery is called The Hole and is located at 312 Bowery. Every five to six weeks Kathy opens a new exhibition there and hosts parties, concerts, lectures and events. The gallery also has a shop in the front with art books, ’zines and artist-made products. Kathy mentioned that if alums want to be on the mailing list, contact her at kathy@theholenyc.com.


Finally, I hope you read the article in the next issue about the 50th anniversary of the Hopkins Center—and notice classmate Drew Lambert’s story. Drew has been working on two furniture companies that are an extension of the work that he did at the Hop as a student. I’ve personally seen some of Drew’s furniture and he’s quite talented. Check out his work at www.drewlambertdesigns.com or www.brokenlinedesign.com. 


The news was a little light this cycle so if you’re reading this and have an update, send it along!
