View All Notes for Class of 2004Hi, ’04s! I hope spring is in full swing wherever you are and that those summer vacation plans are starting to come together. This year has been off to a fast start, so I hope this summer brings some slower months for you and for me. And during those quiet times, please take a moment to catch up with your classmates here.
To that end, I am pleased to report that Paul Marino had a story published in this past April issue of Scientific American. Paul also shared that the documentary film, Love Ivan, started by Cazimir Liske, who passed away in 2017, is almost complete and is expected to be showcased in film festivals by 2026.
Ashley McCaughan wrote to say that her side passion—equestrian competition in three-day eventing—is taking her and her horse to even greater success. She recently qualified for the American Eventing Championships, which will be held in Southern California at the end of August. Congratulations, Ashley, and good luck!
Cheers are also in order for Abiel Acosta, who was once again selected as a “Who’s Who in Banking and Finance” by Pacific Coast Business Times. Well done, Abiel!
I hope these last few weeks of spring are fruitful, ’04s, and I cannot wait to catch up this summer. Talk soon and stay well!
