Class Note 2003
Hello all and welcome to summer! Is anyone planning a return trip to Hanover over the next few months?
I just got word of some recent nuptials. “Elizabeth L. Smith and Igor Fuks were married on November 7, 2009, in New York City. The ceremony took place at St. Joseph’s Yorkville Catholic Church. The reception was held at the Harold Pratt House on the Upper East Side. Betsy (Holder) Bradley was a bridesmaid and Sarah (Murray) Sliva was a lector. Other grads in attendance were Lauren D’Elia Pressman and Matthew Pressman, Megan Lewis McConville and Drew McConville, Jonathan Eisenman, Glenn Jacobson, John Piermont, Rebecca Kurzweil and Ethan Levine and Stephen Sliva ’02. The couple traveled throughout Southeast Asia for their honeymoon, visiting Hong Kong, Malaysia, Singapore, Cambodia, Vietnam and Macau. They live in Manhattan, where Elizabeth is a litigation associate at Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison LLP and Igor is a distressed debt analyst in the credit opportunities group at D.E. Shaw & Co.” I also heard from Sara Yablon-Smith with more good news. “Andy Smith ’98, DMS’04, and I had a baby! Rose Kasane Smith entered the world on March 9 weighing in at 7 pounds, 13 ounces and measuring 20 inches. We are so excited to have her here and have been busy introducing her to her friends and family. She has light brown hair and blue eyes and we’re hoping she inherits some of the Yablon curls.” Congratulations to both happy couples!
Elizabeth Tatkow sent some news as well. “I’m finishing up my first year at Yale School of Management. I’ll be spending the summer in New York at Morgan Stanley before heading to London School of Economics in the fall for an exchange program. Classmates at Yale include Colin McGlynn and Lydia Gensheimer ’06. Colin and I recently participated in the Australian international experience through Yale where we got to scuba dive on the Great Barrier Reef.”
Finally I have a belated update to print from Patrick Granfield. “We’re well into our third year here in Abu Dhabi so I wanted to give you all an update on what we’ve been up to. Kerry (Quinn) Granfield has been promoted to a manager at AMIDEAST, a nonprofit that builds links between the United States and Middle East through education and training. Laura Grip paid us a visit on her way back from a business trip in Delhi recently. She and Kerry drove across the Hajar Mountains for a three-day weekend in Muscat, Oman. Also, I’ve been named the opinion editor at The National, the newspaper I helped to launch a couple years back. Any ’03s who are ever in this neck of the woods should pay us a visit. We’ve got plenty of room!”
