Class Note 2006

Greetings, class of 2006! This news column will be a short one since I didn’t get very many (read: any) submissions this past few months so have relied exclusively on Facebook stalking to fill out this column.


Stephanie Herbert recently got married in Houston in front of several other dear ’06 friends, including Edy Wilson, Elizabeth Rauner (Brewer), Maya Ilowite, Megan Spillane and Kate Huft Kelly. Also in the marriage books is Russ Lane, who got married in April in New Canaan, Connecticut, in front of many classmates, including Matt Slaine. Congratulations, Steph and Russ!


Lots of upcoming graduations. Edy Wilson recently wrapped up two years at Wharton. She joins a (growing) number of our classmates as M.B.A. holders. Alex Gelman is finishing up his M.B.A. with me at Stanford and will be moving back to New York in the summer, where he is starting a search fund called Poplar Partners. You may even have helped him select his logo in a Facebook competition he ran a few months ago! Also graduating with me from the graduate school of business this spring is Aubrey Burnett. Aubrey will be staying in the Bay Area with his wife, Karenne Eng ’05. Jared Hyatt is also at the graduate school of business but, lucky for him, he has one more year of glorious business school life to go.


Also in the Bay Area are Justin Neiman, who is finishing up his master’s in education at Stanford, and Erica Steger, who works for Ampush Media. I’ll be staying in San Francisco after graduating in June, but will take the summer to travel before settling in to life as a consultant (wah wah). 


If you want a fuller news column next time, send in some news! This was all Facebook people.
