Class Note 1993
Issue
March - April 2024
Spring-like weather stayed around for a while this past fall and the class of ’93 took advantage. Mark Hirshey and I hosted a mini-reunion tailgate at the Dartmouth-Harvard football game in Cambridge, Massachusetts, in late October. Elise Sheftal Warhaftig, Pam Harris, Todd Cook, Luke McInnis, Margaret Fawley, Pete Essig, and Greg Porter were all in attendance. Pete, Greg, and I stayed for the nailbiter of a game. Pam has suggested hosting another mini-reunion in Boston this May. Look for our class emails with details.
Our class had a fabulous showing for President Beilock during the presidential welcome tour stop in Boston, with Tamer Alamuddin, Todd Cook, Dan Rottenberg, Alex Kaplan, Betsy Marantz, Jennifer Morgan Peterson, Robyn Cohen, Karen Febeo, and me in attendance.
Gustav Peebles wrote that he attended the presidential welcome tour stop in N.Y.C. and met up with Alice Campbell and they shared photos of Eric Ochsner, Carrie Cantor, Alyssa Tablada, Sharon Tomao, Nicole Sayfie Porcelli, Betty Wang, Selen Unsal Jacoby, Tammy Sloan, Amanda Salzhaur, and Holbrook Newman. The New York ’93s looked to have bested Boston’s attendance this time.
Give a rouse! Josh Kraft, president of the New England Patriots Foundation, posted on LinkedIn that at this year’s annual Bridge Gala, “We recognized a great friend, Miceal Chamberlain, president of Bank of America, for his significant work in the community.”
Rob Simmlekjaer hosted “New York’s biggest block party,” shepherding the more than 50,000 runners during his first N.Y.C. Marathon as CEO of the New York Road Runners. Rob has always had pride in his New York roots and now he gets to champion the entire city. He told NY1, “What’s special about it for me, as a New Yorker, is it’s lots of people’s first taste of New York. This is how they will experience our city and they’re experiencing it in such a positive way.”
Lisa Overton wrote that she bumped into Adriana Popescu at a holiday party in the Bay Area and celebrated her (belated) birthday with pizza and sparklers.
Marshall Billingslea led an online Zoom event for the class, providing us with an overview of the unclassified report of the bipartisan U.S. Congressional Commission on the Strategic Posture of the United States. The commission, of which Marshall is a part, is composed of six Democrats and six Republicans and established under the National Defense Authorization Act. More than 50 classmates joined for the briefing.
Kadesha Bagwell sent a beautiful card from France. She is working on our next class newsletter; please send along your latest. We love news that we can share.
