Class Note 2003
Issue
Sep - Oct 2018
Fall greetings, ’03s!
Although I’m drafting this column at the beginning of the summer, we will be into the fall by the time it is published. I remember the first time I drove across the bridge over the Connecticut River on the way to my DOC trip in the fall of 1999, seeing the tinge of color starting to change on the leaves and feeling as though I was coming home. It still makes me happy to get that first glimpse of campus after driving up I-91.
After some begging, pleading, and not-so-gentle nudging, I rounded up some news for this column. Help me out for the next edition, please, by sending in updates to the email address at the end of the notes.
Paula (Bigboy) Maday reports she moved into a new home in Ashland, Wisconsin, with her son, Everett (6), and her husband, Travis. These days Paula is writing, doing photography, and providing educational outreach for the Great Lakes Indian Fish & Wildlife Commission, an intertribal agency assisting Ojibwe tribes in Wisconsin, Minnesota, and Michigan with treaty-reserved rights. Her outreach recently landed her in the classroom of Beth Paap ’87 in Bayfield, Wisconsin. Paula’s writing is featured quarterly in Mazina’igan, a chronicle of the Lake Superior Ojibwe. Hope the move went smoothly, Paula!
Yungsheng Wang shared the news of Jon Kartt’s wedding to Sandy Osborne. Yungsheng, along with Darren Thomas ’04, Kate Thomas ’04, and Jeff Beardsley ’04, traveled to Lisbon, Portugal, for the nuptials. He reports that it was a gorgeous ceremony in an awe-inspiring location with more food than could fit in a Vegas buffet. Yungsheng also says the dancing continued until 5 a.m.! I haven’t been to Lisbon since 2014, but that description sounds about right to me. Congratulations to the happy couple!
Rebecca (Meyers) Galemba is racking up more professional achievements. She wrote in to say that she received the Public Good Faculty of the Year Award from the University of Denver for research, teaching, and service that contributes to the public good. Congratulations on the recognition, Rebecca!
I recently caught up with Meredith (Schwartz) Beuchaw and her husband, Steve, when they were in D.C. in May for work. We were scheduled to meet my husband, Matt Kenney ’04, and Mike Hamilton on the roof of the W, where we also, by happy coincidence, ran into Tara Maller! Tara is currently a fellow at the think tank New America and regularly speaks on various cable news programs regarding terrorism and security. As I’ve noted before, D.C. can be a very small town, or, of all the gin joints….
