Christine DiMilla Sarfati has sent an update for the first time since graduation. She has been married to her French husband, Marc, for two years and has a new baby named Leah. Little Leah made her first trip to Paris at 7 weeks old to meet her relatives, and by all accounts was a much better traveler than the family dog. Christine is working four days, a week at Fidelity Investments in Boston, where she is a senior project manager in the training division. The Sarfatis live in Chelsea, with magnificent views of the harbor and skyline, and offer their spare bedroom to anyone needing a good B&B near the airport. Christine keeps in touch with Susan Patterson and Amanda Carpenter Ragon, the mother of three boys.
