Class Note 2005

I hope 2019 has started well for each of you and your families. The official countdown to reunion has begun, and your class officers can’t wait to see so many of you make the trek back to Hanover in June for our 15th reunion. Please be sure to look out for the flurry of emails and other communications from our class and the College this spring.

Keith Schuricht wrote in this past fall to share that he and his wife, Christine Terada ’07, welcomed second son Linden on September 1, 2018. Linden’s older brother, River, turned 3 in December. The Schuricht family lives in Honolulu, and would of course love to hear from any classmates who happen to find themselves on the island of Oahu.

Carolyn Parma married Kunjan Bhakta on September 21, 2018, in Newport Beach, California. Many fellow alumni were in attendance, including Louise (Pietrangelo) ElNaggar ’04, Elizabeth Acord, Brogiin Keeton-Nagin, Ashley Dos Santos, Carolyn Steinmetz, Danielle (Mohilef) Rudner ’06, and Fouad el-Naggar ’98. The newlyweds reside in the East Bay area of San Francisco, where Carolyn started a job as a breast surgeon specializing in the treatment of breast cancer and breast reconstructions.

Anne Merritt wrote in to share that she had recently published a book of poetry. Light through Marble Veins is centered around New Haven, Connecticut, where Anne lived and practiced medicine for a decade before moving on to Stanford. Her work can be purchased via Amazon.

Finally, I’m going to give my man Matt Heineman yet another plug for his film, A Private War. Not only will it be shown at the Hop in Hanover on March 1, but Matt plans to attend the screening and answer questions about the film. The film has garnered high praise since its release, with Rosamund Pike earning a Golden Globe nomination for Best Actress in a Drama for her portrayal of war correspondent Marie Colvin. There is quite a bit of Academy Award buzz surrounding her and the film as of the writing of these notes.

I look forward to hearing from more of you in 2019.
