Hi, guys. I am having bad fifth year-itis and literally only have two updates. I don’t fully blame myself because you guys totally could have emailed me first. But at the same time, I will take some responsibility, because I also could have called, emailed or texted at least a few people. So, it goes both ways, ya know? So lets just put blame aside and fully enjoy our updates. 


Kari Cholnoky writes, “I’m living in Queens, New York, working a thousand different jobs and making paintings in my bedroom, which is in an apartment I’m sharing with fellow ’10 Michael Adelman.”


Nathan Bruschi writes, “First, this past month I got back from a five-month deployment to Central America, conducting humanitarian assistance, promoting regional stability and training local militaries to combat drug cartels. It was pretty rough—living in tents, eating MREs and enjoying cold-water showers—but the people made it worthwhile. It was my fourth deployment in four years and I hope my last, as I have submitted paperwork to resign my commission in the spring of next year. I’m looking forward to attending graduate school. Second, while I was on campus Veterans Day weekend for events being cosponsored by the Dartmouth Uniform Service Alumni, I got engaged to Roanna Wang ’13, my senior year sweetheart and best friend of the past four years! Through my deployments and living in Japan she has put up with some pretty intense distance, and I’m very much looking forward to spending lots of time, post-Navy, with her. I asked her right in front of Baker Tower by the steps of Sanborn Library, where her parents were hiding to capture it on film.”


Thank you for reading!
