Class Note 2004

Issue

Jan - Feb 2019

Our reunion is just six months away! Please reach out to class officers if you’d like to help organize the festivities.

Here are a few updates from our awesome class as we say goodbye to 2018 and hello to the new year.

Steph Annear (along with husband Chris and their sons, Gannon and Soren) spent the last four months in Vietnam with a group of college students studying abroad from Hobart and William Smith Colleges and Union College. The family of four was last in Vietnam in 2016 and all were excited to be back working on their Vietnamese and eating!

Back in June Megan Fontanella Remmelts, Jayson Remmelts, Laura Delaney Nichol, Mark Nichol, Carly O’Connell Abrahamson, Robin Deliso Woodcock (and husband Patrick), Clare Gupta (and husband Drew), and Rachel Holmes Kelly (and husband Miles) all got together in Martha’s Vineyard, Massachusetts, with their families. There were nine kids under the age of 5 in one house and everyone survived (including the house!).

Miguella Mark-Carew got married to John Fluharty in May in Tobago. The couple moved to London with their two dogs in October!

If you happened to be a recipient of an organ transplant at the University of Washington Medical Center in Seattle during the month of October, you might have had three different ’04s as your physicians. Catherine (Dale) Kling is an abdominal transplant surgeon who requested infectious disease consultations from Alex Lankowski, a senior fellow in infectious diseases working with Rachel Bender Ignacio, an assistant professor and attending physician on the Transplant Infectious Diseases service. Because the world is incredibly small, Rachel and Alex also collaborate in HIV research and recently worked in Peru together. Alex also belatedly reports that he got married to a lovely woman named Shaadi and they had a baby (Inez Louise Lankowski-Baylor, born December 11, 2017). He says that both married life and fatherhood have been a dream so far.

Snowden Wright’s novel American Pop will be published by HarperCollins on February 5. Congratulations, Snowden!

Tristan Perry and his wife, Sarah, had their first baby in June: a boy named Bridger Dean Schindler Perry! Jacyln Stife also had her first baby, Dean Michael Sullivan, on May 3, 2018!

Keep the updates coming, and have a great start to 2019!
