Class Note 1997
Issue
Sept - Oct 2016
How many of you have ever planned out your whole weekend only to be lured into a marathon of Property Brothers? On one such rainy Saturday in May, I turned to HGTV and was delighted to see Drew and Jonathan working with my fellow Querétaro, Mexico, language study abroad alum Nadine (Haig) Evans and her husband, Greg. After finishing the 2014 episode, I checked in with Nadine to see what she’s been up to.
Nadine, who calls Atlanta home, writes: “We are still enjoying our home and we live across the street from my sister, Nicole Haig ’95. Greg and I have four children: Sophia (11), Gregory (9), Isabella (7) and Gabriella (20 months).
“I left private firm practice nearly four years ago to join the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, where I am a senior special counsel specializing in the area of municipal securities. I enjoy my diverse work with the commission. I am a frequent speaker at internal and external conferences, while I also provide advice daily to staff members nationwide. As one of the principal drafters of the examination protocol for advisers to municipalities, I collaborate with the commission’s enforcement division as well as several other divisions within the commission.”
Nadine and Greg’s house turned out beautifully and their episode is frequently rerun on HGTV. You also can check out a behind-the-scenes “bro cam” about their episode at youtube.com/watch?v=AZSCCFbO0GU.
Congratulations to Cai Boldt Pandolfino and husband Jeff on the birth of their third son. Grayson entered the world on March 1 and joins older brothers Coleman, 7, and Bennett, 9.
In addition to three boys, Cai and Jeff happily have their hands full with Green & Tonic, the plant-focused restaurant chain they founded together. Originally formed as an Internet-based meal delivery service, Green & Tonic transformed into a restaurant chain in 2012 with locations throughout Connecticut—Cos Cob, Greenwich, Darien, New Canaan and the newest restaurant in Westport. Green & Tonic has an all-plant menu that includes wraps, such as a sunflower seed tuna wrap, bowls such as quinoa rotini with peas and sautéed greens, as well as breakfasts, salads, soups, pressed juices, superfood smoothies, snacks and more. The menu includes local and organic ingredients whenever possible. My words don’t do this justice. Check out these delicious-looking and healthy meals, drinks, juice cleanses and snacks at greenandtonic.com.
Hope everyone has been enjoying the summer. Please send me your news.
