Hello, ’02s. I have lots of happy news to report this time.


Rachel A. Ciprotti moved back to her hometown of Atlanta in 2011. She wrote in to say that after working in the arts for about the past 10 years, she recently got her dream job as general manager of the Atlanta Chamber Players!


Deanna (Kasperski) Hill wrote, “Seth Hill and I are pleased to announce the birth of our second daughter, Madelyn Alice, in August. Big sister Abby adores her and we’re having lots of fun, but I will soon have to return to work as a primary care physician and assistant professor of medicine at the University of California, San Diego. Seth continues to work as an assistant professor of political science at UCSD as well. We’re enjoying living in San Diego and are available for visitors if anyone needs to get away this winter!”


Julia Levy and Ari Edelson (Yale ’98) welcomed a baby boy, Eliot Henry Edelson, on May 8, 2014. Julia, Ari and Eliot live in New York City, where they work together on their arts and culture startup, Culture Craver.


I also heard from Megan Harrison Linn about two new additions to her family. Harrison Michael and Kennedy Allison were born August 20, two months early, so spent six weeks in the neonatal intensive care unit, but are now home and doing great. Sister Maddie, who turned 2 three weeks later, is starting to get used to the idea that they’ll be sticking around awhile.


Lauren (Smalkowski) Klentak filled me in on her exciting news, “Matt and I are excited to welcome our second daughter, Julia Elizabeth, who was born on October 6. Big sister Valerie (3 years old) is especially proud! We have been living in Newport Beach, California, for the past two and a half years and have met some great alumni through the Dartmouth Club of Orange County. If there are other folks living in or visiting the area, we’d love to meet up!”


That’s all the news for now. Keep sending your updates.
