Class Note 1997
Issue
We start off with the announcement of yet another new addition to the rapidly growing number of children of ’97s. Congratulations to Liz Lucarelli Baldwin and husband Brian on the August 7 birth of their daughter Abigail Elizabeth Baldwin, who was 6 pounds, 15 ounces.
Congratulations also to Jeremy Turk and Danielle Lann, who were married June 28 at the Oyster Point Hotel in Red Bank, New Jersey. Rich Yeh, Rick Camp, Steve Sugarman and Bill Tovell ’96 were groomsmen. Jeremy’s sister, Beth Turk ’98, was a bridesmaid. Other alums in attendance include James Jarrett, Nevin Patton, Aaron Brooks ’96, Pete Jastreboff ’96, Misha Rosoff ’96, Eric Schwartz ’96 and John Katen ’93.
Brian Kim is keeping himself busy as the president and chief investment officer of Liquid Capital Management, a family of closed-end investment funds that use a statistical approach to take advantage of volatility in equity markets by trading in futures contracts. Liquid Capital was recognized in May by BarclayHedge Index as a Top 10 fund in the stock return index category. BarclayHedge highlights funds that have excelled in delivering consistently strong risk-adjusted performance relative to peers. Brian has worked in the financial markets in various positions for more than 10 years.
In entertainment news, it’s been quite a year for Eyal Podell and David Harbour. Fans of 24 may have noticed Eyal this past season. He played Ryan Burnett, the chief of staff for a senator who was initially out to get Kiefer Sutherland’s Jack Bauer. It turned out Ryan was a pretty bad guy, and like most of the bad guys on 24, he did not meet a pretty end. Eyal, who had a major role on The Young and the Restless for several years, also recently appeared as a guest star on CSI: NY. He is currently starring in ABC’s Defying Gravity, a space thriller series set in the year 2052 against the background of our solar system, in which eight astronauts from five countries embark on a mysterious six-year international space mission covering 8 billion miles. Eyal plays Israeli psychiatrist and onboard medical officer Evram Mintz. On starpulse.com Eyal described the show, which also flashes back to the characters’ past encounters with each other as “Grey’s Anatomy meets Lost in space.”
Fresh from the success of his roles in the films Revolutionary Road and Quantum of Solace, David, a 2005 Tony Award nominee, turned in a positively creepy small-screen performance earlier this year as the killer of the week in an episode of Law & Order: Criminal Intent. In fact, David has completed the Law & Order trifecta, having also appeared on Law & Order: Special Victims Unit and the original Law & Order, which is heading into what seems like its 100th season.
My next column will come from Austin, as I am literally packing my bags right now to join a Texas law firm. Faye, Ellery and I are going to miss our friends in the Big Apple, but we’re looking forward to new adventures in the greatest city in the Lone Star State!
Please keep sending me your news.
