Class Note 2003
Issue
Jul - Aug 2018
Summer always brings such pleasant memories of my favorite time in Hanover. It’s hard to believe it’s been 17 years since 2001 exchange term! On that note, our reunion is rapidly approaching. If you might be interested in helping put the reunion together or running for office, please reach out to our current class officers.
Happy news from Lisa (Goodman) Vogl, who announced her engagement, on March 3, to Jonathan Marin, her boyfriend of four and a half years. A December wedding in Forest Hills, New York, is planned. Best wishes, Lisa and Jonathan!
Mike Hamilton wrote (slightly belatedly!) to share the news that he and wife Jessica welcomed their first child, Maeve Katherine Hamilton, on December 28, 2016. He reports that she is keeping them on their toes. Congratulations, Mike and Jessica!
At the end of March I headed to Cleveland to celebrate the impending birth of Lindsay (Hirschfeld) Guzowski and husband Andrew’s baby boy. Also in attendance at the shower were Meredith (Schwartz) Beuchaw, Sonja (Tonnesen) Davies, Barbara Lum ’04, Jaime (Singley) Shatsman, and Sarah (Murray) Sliva. As always, it was wonderful to catch up with fellow ’03s! Lindsay and Andrew’s son, Peter Eric Guzowski, a timely fellow, arrived on his due date of April 18. Congrats, Lindsay and Andrew!
Classmates continue to experience professional success! I heard from Alexis Jhamb, who reports that, with a few years of age to spare, she was recognized as one of the “Forty Under 40” by Oil & Gas Investor magazine. Alexis currently manages business and development planning for Chevron’s Permian Basin-facing business in its Houston office. Although she never dreamed of dusty days and steel-toed boots in west Texas, she loves her job and the area and encourages anyone in the area to look her up. (Cowboy) hats off on the achievement, Alexis!
Travis D’Amato shares that he joined the firm of Walker & Dunlop in April, where he co-heads the multifamily investment sales team for New England. Trav resides in Milton, Massachusetts, with his wife, Melissa, their daughters, Maria and Isabella, and dog Pablo. He reports seeing Jenny (Pascucci) Beniamino and Kevin Fournier and their families, who also live in the area. The D’Amato family would love to see anyone passing through the Boston area. Good luck in the new position, Trav!
News reached me that Robert Karl received the Arthur P. Whitaker Prize at the Middle Atlantic Council of Latin American Studies annual conference in March. The prize is awarded for the best book published by a member of the council in the last two years. Dr. Karl received the prize for his book, Forgotten Peace: Reform, Violence, and the Making of Contemporary Colombia. Robert currently teaches at Princeton University in the department of history. Congratulations on the accolade, Robert!
Finally, I ran into Matt Raymer on Pennsylvania Avenue in D.C. a few weeks ago (D.C. can be a small town!). Matt reported that his move to Calvert County, Maryland, with wife Eve and sons Jacob and William went well, and they are enjoying life in the suburbs with more space and a yard. Always fun to have a chance meeting with a classmate.
I look forward to your continued news submissions to the email address below.
