Class Note 2008
Hi, ’08s! Apologies for the short Class Notes last time. As promised, a more fleshed-out notes for you this time around. We keep continuing to make big moves in our lives, from marriages to new jobs. One thing remains consistent though, we keep losing our black North Face jackets.

Jessica reports that Louisa Thompson graduated from the University of Illinois College of Medicine this year. And with baby news, Khadijah Bermiss Enoh just added another little girl to her growing family. Congrats!
