Class Note 2008
Hi everyone! This is my final Class Notes column and there’s a lot to say so let’s get to it!
Haley Bolin got engaged to John Shellito ’07. Tim Chingos reports that he is now engaged to Jillian Hamma ’09 and living in San Francisco. They plan to get married in the summer of 2011 in the hills of California. Diane Ellis just moved to San Francisco, where she works for a new Web start-up called Ricochet.com and the Hoover Institution. I saw Diane on a trip to San Francisco in late February, when I had a wonderful time hanging out with Melissa Fan, Lindsay Deane, Zach Mayer, Jean Valkevich, Zainep Mahmoud, Stevie Belchak, Rachel Hochman and Jen Schuster ’09. I also ran into Taylor Kauer, Kate Labrum and Liz Spence on the street.
Katherine Gorman is going to law school next year and is currently deciding on a destination. She is planning on backpacking around Central America in June and would love company!
Zak Kaufman and Elise Braunschweig are still working for Grassroots Soccer in Cape Town, South Africa, and would love to see anyone who is coming over for the 2010 World Cup.
Dana Cushing has been selected to participate with Ruder Finn Inc.’s public relations executive trainee program. She is working with the company’s corporate advisory group maintaining corporate image and crisis management.
Elliott Dial is teaching at Saint Mark’s School of Texas in Dallas and coaching varsity football and JV baseball along with other middle school sports. He says if anyone is in the area, drop him a line and he’ll show you great Tex-Mex restaurants.
Brendan Holm wanted to make sure I noted that my freshman year roommate Brian Evans and his wife, Amy, welcomed a beautiful baby boy in early November. His name is Aaron, and Brendan says, “We should be thankful he looks like his mother and not Brian.”
Ankit Rastogi wrote in to say that he, Katherine Minyety and Vivian Cheung ’07 are pursuing an open, polyamorous relationship in western Iowa. And if any alums are in the area, look him up.
Andrew Klein is working in Boston with a clinical research team on a trial for a heart disease/diabetes drug. In Boston in late February I saw Laura Rodriguez and Stephanie Zamorano when they came to visit before I left the country.
Jacquie Pound is in her second semester of grad school and traveled to London in early March. She is also attending a conference in April and will be going to China this summer with Theresa Yang.
Tyler McIntyre is working in Annapolis, Maryland, at GeoTrans Inc. performing environmental consulting work.
Tess Reeder is moving to Sydney, Australia, for four months on a transfer with Bain and would love to hear from any alums in the area.
Aimee Pritchard is in New Zealand working at Milford Sound, one of the most beautiful places in the country, working as a galley hand. She also says there is no phone service or Internet until you get to the next town, 120 kilometers away.
Joshua Feder has been quite busy in N.Y.C., performing in a sold-out run of Alice in Wonderland Thru the Looking Glass and the world premiere of the play Another Dude’s Slingbacks with several ’07s, ’08s and ’09s involved in the cast and crew!
In late February I had a farewell dinner at my childhood home in Wayland, Massachusetts. The attendees included many ’08s, including Emily Weisburst, Becca Auritt, Yasmin Mandviwala, Jenna Sherman, Sheila Dunning, Amy Flaster, Julia Hecht, Jenny Fisher, Jenny Ratner, Gary Freilich, Dan Cohen, Leo Ospina, Frank Glaser and Gregg Rubin.
From hereon out, Yasmin Mandviwala will be in charge of Class Notes, so please send her all your updates! You can reach her at 245 East 63rd St., New York, NY 10065; yasminm@gmail.com.
