Issue

May-June 2021

Hello, ’09s! I hope the issue this month finds you staying well and enjoying some warmer weather. I’ll miss seeing everyone in Hanover this summer but look forward to when we can all be together again. In the meantime, here are some updates from our classmates. Nanette Cedeno moved to northern Virginia from Denver. Diane Cheney is finishing up her radiology residency at the Texas A&M University Veterinary School and will be moving to Portsmouth, New Hampshire, this summer with her menagerie. Zephyr (her Lab mix from senior year and the former SigEp mascot) is very excited to retire back in her home state! In May Katie Dutko will be leaving her job as education program manager for CRS in Iraq and starting a new job as head of programs for CRS in Egypt, where she will oversee education, livelihoods, and peacebuilding programs. She and her husband, Ben, are excited to move to Cairo and will look forward to visitors after the pandemic! Johannes Lohmann is locked down in London and is now working as the Behavioural Insights team’s head of work and finance, working with partners across government and the private sector to integrate behavioral insights into policies. Denton King wanted to let us know of the birth of William “Will” Denton King on January 19. Denton wrote that Will’s older siblings, Wesley and McKell, are over the moon excited and keep calling him a “cutie patootie.” Now with three, they have to learn how to go from man-to-man to zone defense! Raymond Rodriguez is now living in Washington, D.C., and working as communications director for freshman U.S. Rep. Ritchie Torres representing the South Bronx, New York. It’s been a lifelong dream of his to work on Capitol Hill and now he’s there! Nell Mackenzie is still in St. Andrews, Scotland, three years and two kids later! They are wishing they could come out of lockdown (who isn’t?) but doing what they can to enjoy life with their little ones. They’ll be there at least through January 2022, so hope they’ll have more chances to explore Scotland properly. Molly Roy is back in the Washington, D.C., area, about to start again at the U.S. Department of Energy and volunteering at a vaccine clinic in the meantime! Lizzie Teague and Eric Klem ’08 welcomed their second daughter, Abigail Neelands Klem, on November 30, 2020, in Cambridge, Massachusetts. They’re doing well and looking forward to introducing Abby to others soon.
