Class Note 2003
Madhu Iyengar sent the following update about his wedding this past spring. “I was married on April 3 to Arathi Premkumar (Northwestern ’03) in a ceremony in Scottsdale, Arizona. Arathi and I met three years ago at the wedding of Tom Hackney and Catie Ballard. Many alums were present at the ceremony, including Patrick Granfield, Kerry Quinn Granfield, Greg Lucas, Michael Lovett, Tom Schenck, Franki Lambert Smith, Reid Smith ’01, Ryan McDermott, Stanley Kim, Sheridan Fox, Miles Harrigan, Rishi Sahay ’00, Stephen Cantin ’02 and Tom and Catie.” The happy couple moved during the summer to L.A., where Madhu began a residency in internal medicine this past July.
Later in the summer two other classmates got hitched. Cecily Garber wrote to say, “Devon Haskell recently took just enough time off her bicycle, which she races all over the country and continental Europe, to marry Aspen Gory in Painsevile, Ohio, during Labor Day weekend. The ceremony featured a dramatic reading of The Little Prince, and the wedding banquet—waffles, quiche and eggs Florentine—was followed by a fierce round of ultimate Frisbee. Jessie Allen Young, Elise Berman, Scott Given ’02, Margie Makielski, Megan Malgeri and I helped fuel the bonfire that capped off a fantastic weekend. Congratulations, Devon!” Duncan McLean also filled us in on the details of his recent wedding. “On September 11 I married Carlie Tuggey (Bates ’00) on Great Diamond Island in Casco Bay, Portland, Maine. Carlie and I have been together four years, living in Portland. Big Green attendees included Geoff Paddack, Chris Vorys, Travis Escobedo, Scott Rutherford, Gabe Doleac, Grace Crandall ’06, Katie McCarthy ’00, Sarah Billmeier ’99 and Rick Ostberg ’70. While the band did bust out a particularly epic rendition of James Brown’s “Sex Machine,” regrettably, Ruts did not burst onstage and grab the mike, much to the consternation of all in attendance. Aside from that glaring shortfall, a good time was had by all.”
Other notables: Nick Boucher, goalie extraordinaire for the Big Green during our time in Hanover, will be playing a fourth season with the Fort Wayne Komets of the International Hockey League. Also “big ups” to Richard Efem and Ikechi Ogbonna ’06, who were featured along with world-famous surfer Joel Tudor in a pretty awesome surf ad campaign for the company Matuse. Be sure to check out the photos on the company’s webpage. The founder, president and CEO of the progressive, edgy and environmentally sound Matuse is our very own John Campbell. Very sweet.
