Class Note 2011
Issue
May-June 2023
Laura Calvo wrote with an update for the first time since graduation: “After graduation I returned to my home country Bolivia for medical school, got married, adopted my terrier mix Chela, and returned to the United States to have my son, Lucas Julian (now 4!). Last year I completed my pediatrics residency in Corpus Christi, Texas, during which time I had my daughter, Zoe Luna (now 2!). I am currently in my first year of neonatal-perinatal medicine fellowship at Duke University and would love to connect with any other alum in the Triangle area.”
Additionally, James Cart ’10—who is the newly elected president for the class of 2010—wrote to let me know of Reid Duke’s first individual win in a Magic: The Gathering Pro Tour event on February 19. Congratulations, Reid! I was also alerted by a fellow classmate to Reid’s participation in the event while it was happening, as Reid’s winning gameplay was livestreamed on Twitch! But Thomas Lane and I happened to be roaming a park in Las Vegas for a Pokémon Go Tour: Hoenn event and were preoccupied with catching Pokémon and taking photos with giant Pokémon balloons (of Torchic, Mudkip, and Treecko) and a costumed Pikachu mascot. I cannot recommend Las Vegas winter weather, but the food was great as usual!
In other news I have gleaned from Instagram and Facebook recently, Genevieve O’Mara has started a new product platform for mothers called Mamieli (@be_mamieli on Instagram, www.mamieli.com). Kaleigh Wood (@kaleighw2011) and Korey McCants (@ikrossfinishlines) seem to be doing great running marathons! Thomas Tao and Julie Fiveash ’13 successfully visited Yan Fan in Tokyo, and it appeared to be a charming reunion.
Please write in with your updates, big or small! No news is too inconsequential for this space. Adam Reed’s fluffy ragdoll cat Mortimer agrees, after having recently survived a visit to the veterinarian following his allergy-induced hunger strike! Also, if you would like to pen a longer piece (word count limit of 600!), we very much welcome guest columnists on any topic you deem interesting to your classmates or the broader alumni community readership.
