Class Note 2008
Issue
Hi everyone! There is a lot to report in the last couple months. Noelle Knight got married to Mike Zargham ’07 in July, bought a house in Philadelphia and started a V.M.D.-Ph.D. program at Penn. Erika Sogge is in her second year of teaching in Koyuk, Alaska (population 300), and recently got engaged to Kyle Schneider (Michigan Tech ’08). Jiawen Ye got married at the end of August and is living around Boston.
Jenny Fisher is moving to Boston. Stevie Belchak “couldn’t be happier to stay on with SALT Branding as a writer/namer and to have been afforded more time in the undyingly beautiful city of San Francisco.” Tim Chingos moved to San Francisco and works for Trulia.com. Zachary Mayer recently moved to San Francisco with Lindsay Deane, Rachel Hochman and Brian Bensch ’09. Lindsay also went to see Paul McCartney at Fenway Park in August, where Jenny Ratner, Evan Meyerson, Jeannie Valkevich, Jon Simpson, Ben Davis and I were all in attendance as well.
Andrew Klein started a job at a woodshop in Bar Harbor, Maine, in September and is looking for work in Seattle, Washington. Brian Fortin moved to New York City this fall to continue his career in lighting design for theater. Mary Brown is returning to the United States after a year of teaching English in Busan, South Korea, and Beijing, China, and returning to Alaska to find employment until she is old enough to be a United Nations volunteer.
Andrew Blancero went to Milwaukee to learn to be an urban farmer. Josh Feder will be assistant directing a workshop production of Band Geeks!, a musical at the National Alliance for Musical Theatre Festival in October.
Katie Hirsch moved back to Hanover to become an assistant coach for the Dartmouth women’s volleyball team and is living with Matt Siegfried and a couple of ’09 guys. Matt Mackey is also back in Hanover and just began his first year at Dartmouth Medical School, as did Carrie Burns. Felicia Reid is in Lebanon, New Hampshire, working as a research associate at Adimab, an antibody discovery company. She recently moved from Lebanon to nearby Plainfield.
Adam Platz e-mailed me from Hanover, where he was continuing his hike along the Appalachian Trail. He started on March 18 in Springer Mountain, Georgia, and hoped to finish his hike on September 23.
Chuck Flynn is sorry to report that he has “moved from the East Coast hegemony back to the great state of Indiana” by transferring to Notre Dame Law School. He wants everyone to know that if they need a couch to sleep on for a Notre Dame football game, he is happy to host them and has a pong table. Edward Son just started his first year at UCLA Law School. Jacquie Pound moved to Durham, North Carolina, to start grad school in romance studies at Duke.
Katherine Har moved to London in September for a master’s program in medieval history at King’s College. Craig Lee moved from Chicago to New York City to begin a master’s program at Bard for art history. Tim Shen moved from L.A. County to Boston to attend a master’s program at the Tufts School of Medicine. Mike Epstein just began his first year at UMass medical school in Worcester, Massachusetts.
Ren Chen is working in Hong Kong for Nomura. Jonathan Marable is working for a second year in the Marshall Islands as a high school teacher. Kiersten Hallquist signed on as a contract teacher under the Bikinian local government and will be teaching English as a second language to first-, second-, fifth- and sixth-grade Bikinian students on Ejit Island.
