Class Note 2006
Hi, ’06s! Andy Wright moved to Brooklyn last September. Earlier last year he returned from a six-month trip to Africa to volunteer and raise money for a sustainable agriculture project in Uganda and backpack across 10 countries. He is currently in a master’s program in public administration at New York University and is excited to reconnect with old friends in the city.
Congratulations to Yale Fillingham, who got engaged to Emily Heroy during last Green Key weekend. The proposal happened atop Mount Moosilauke and was followed by “forgetting to expect more than a foot of snow, getting turned around and hiking down the opposite side of the mountain and having to hitchhike back to our car with a family from Cape Cod driving around looking for a moose.” Sounds like a memorable engagement story!
Kaethe Henning is studying at the University of Northern Iowa in Cedar Falls, pursuing a master’s in vocal performance. In July she left her jobs as marketing associate with San Francisco Opera and professional chorister (soprano) with San Francisco Symphony. Kaethe enjoyed a month of “funemployment” before her father, Albert Henning ’77, helped her move to Iowa.
Bradford Proctor, as he continues his work in multiplatform programming with Logo (MTV Networks), this summer wrote his first musical, Bunked, about summer camp (bunkedthemusical.com). It played at the Lucille Lortel Theatre and won Best Overall Production of a Musical as part of the New York International Fringe Festival. Congratulations, Brad!
Congratulations also to Cary Telander, who is engaged to Cam Fortin ’05 and planning a September wedding in Big Sur, California. Cary completed a harvest internship in Napa Valley, California, at Buccella Wines this fall, is working at Buccella as a winemaking assistant and hopes to transition into wine buying or marketing this spring or summer.
Paul Durkee, Karl Johnson and Mike Rosenzweig are doing big things with Mission Motors (www.ridemission.com), unveiling their Mission R Electric Racing Superbike in December. The company does electric motorcycles as well as electric drive trains for a variety of electric vehicles.
Looking forward to seeing many of you at reunion in June!
