Hi, ’04s! I hope your spring season is off to a wonderful start! With summer right around the corner, here’s hoping you have some exciting travel plans on the horizon that take full advantage of the longer days and warmer nights. Recognizing that many of us will now be spending more time outside than inside, I will keep this note short and sweet.

Blair Dickinson shared that she, Jaclyn Harper, Jess Leinwand, Elizabeth Sislen recently had a great reunion weekend along with all of their husbands (including Sam Stein) and nice kids. They met up in Hershey, Pennsylvania, and indulged in all of the chocolate and had lots of time to reminisce. After this trip there is no question that this group definitely is looking forward to our 20-year reunion next year!

Kristin Burdge wanted to share that as our class VP, she is reporting for roll call! She has had lots of adventures since last reunion: moved to Steamboat Springs, Colorado, in 2021 (you are welcome to come stay in her guestroom!), teaching yoga and coaching self-leadership skills in her free time, and serving the substance use and trauma recovery community by leading the clinical team at The Foundry. Through her work, Kristin forges new lives by pushing the envelope on what high-quality, evidence-based treatment can be offered at an insurance cost point. Kristin also expressed how she cannot wait to see all of us at our reunion next year!

Have a great start to summer, ’04s, and looking forward to connecting in a couple of months! Do not forget to share any updates that happen during your summer adventures. And one last thing: Let the one-year countdown to our 20th reunion begin! This time next year I hope to see many of you in Hanover.
