Class Note 2002
Issue
May-June 2022
Hello, ’02s! Plenty of happy news to report this time.
Syeda Saleela Khanum Salahuddin and her husband, Blake Everett Johnson, along with their daughters, Sufyana and Aydina, have welcomed to their family a beautiful and sweet baby girl, Syeda Wilaya Suraiya Johnson, who was born on June 11, 2021, in Washington, D.C. Baby is doing well and adored by her big sisters!
Sarah Winzelberg Olson and Ben Olson welcomed Vivian Marie on February 9. Mother and daughter are both doing well. Aria (2 1/2 years old) is very excited to be a big sister.
Molly (Stutzman) Miranda shared her joyous news, “Jorge Miranda ’01 and I welcomed Sophia Blair Miranda on January 30. We are smitten with her and enjoying these snuggly and hazy newborn days. She is also getting lots of love from her older siblings—Eloise, 7; Oliver, 5; and Theo, 3. We continue to enjoy life in the Bay Area (Alameda), where I’m with Google (chief of staff, people development) and Jorge is with the KIPP Foundation (senior director of high schools). If you’re ever in the area please let us know!”
Eric Powers revealed his sense of humor has come through the pandemic intact writing: “To spice up the relatively mundane last two years, my wife (Elizabeth McDonald, Georgetown ’04) and I had our third kid last March. Cate is almost 1 year old now, and in true third kid fashion she’s the most agreeable of the bunch. A third kid, of course, requires additional childcare, so we also added an au pair from Austria in September. It’s a full house now, and our grocery bills have nearly doubled, but every day is exciting and morale around here is improving. We are also both very happily employed by the U.S. Department of Justice. Hope to see everyone in Hanover sometime before our 25th reunion in 2027.”
Stevie Nichols has made her way back stateside: “After six years overseas in Egypt and Spain with the U.S. State Department and two months in Hawaii visiting Christina Hoe, Aimee Barnes ’04, Mamie ’99 and Mike Lawrence Gallagher ’01, Jocelyn Leavitt ’01, and Elizabeth Hensley ’05, I’m returning home to my theater and legal communities in New Mexico. Come visit!”
Please keep sending in updates. Happy almost-20 years since graduation!
