Class Note 2008

Issue

Sept - Oct 2013

Since for once we have extra space in this column, let me lead off by thanking you all for a great reunion. It was wonderful to catch up with all of you who managed to attend, and we look forward to seeing the rest of you at our 10th reunion.


Josh Drake and his wife, Ashley, will be moving to Vermont in July, where Josh will begin serving as the pastor of the East Brookfield Community Church.


Dana Cushing wrote in just after reunion, when she was preparing for Robin McKechnie’s wedding to Will Brown ’07. Since I haven’t heard anything since then, I’m assuming the wedding was a smashing success. Dana and Olivia Gilliatt were bridesmaids, and Lily King ’07 was the maid of honor.


Meli Garber is thrilled to start a new job as the health educator at Saint Ann’s School in Brooklyn Heights, New York. She is “very excited since my dearest friend Rena Fried went there. As for Rena, she got engaged to Vivian Chung ’07 in April and both are headed to Philly to begin their M.B.A. program at Wharton. (Yay! Super proud of this gal.)”


Jenny Fisher is sad to report that Jenny Ratner is moving back to Boston for her first architecture job. To quote Jenny, “My evil plot to keep her in N.Y.C. has failed.” Evan Meyerson has finally returned home to New York City after “four years lost in the wilderness and five years avoiding Boston sports fans.”


Mike Holmes is starting anesthesiology residency at the University of Washington. Matt Siegfried is prepping for his third Antarctica field season with the Whillans Ice Stream Subglacial Access Research Drilling Project. In Matt’s words, “Last year’s season was featured in The New York Times twice, Fox News said we won the new Cold War, long feature in this month’s (July/August) Discover magazine, etc. We found life in a lake beneath Antarctica. Pick up Discover mag if you want to see pictures!”


Laura Little wrote in from Buenos Aires, soon to travel “to Santiago (Chile) and then back to Argentina to ski bum in Bariloche (possibly head to another continent?) before heading back to Boston to start business school at Harvard in late August.” If anyone is looking to escape the heat and get some skiing in over the summer, let her know!


As I pass this column off to Jon Hopper, let me just say that the last five years as your class secretary have been a treat. I looked forward every two months to hearing from those near and far, and continue to marvel at what we’ve done in our short, post-college lives. I look forward to serving all of you as your class president going forward, and I hope you treat my successor as well (if not better) than you treated me.
