Hey everyone, three years out and all is well. Crazy, huh?

Nahoko Kawakyu writes, "This spring, I hopped in a car with two of my friends from high school to drive east. We finally arrived in Chicago, where I met up with David Lysy, who attends the University of Chicago and is in the process of receiving a master's in divinity, a master s in social service administration and a master s in public policy. We reminisced and talked about Brooks Foster, who is paddling in the Northwest and going to law school in his free time. Meg Cashion continues to work in Boston at a marketing company and plans on moving to Chicago this fall to work and to be with long-time sweetheart Dave. After I left Chicago, I hopped on a plane to Burlington, Vermont, and then drove to Boston to see Rex Morey, Dave Sussman and Dave Rapson. Case Dorkey took a train from N.Y.C., where he teaches in the public schools, met us for dinner and then got back on the train around midnight to return to work eight hours later."

According to Pam Smith, who is working on her M.B.A. at Harvard Business School, RoyWildeman is currently on sabbatical leave from Accenture and is studying beer brewing in Chicago and Munich, Germany. Pam also attended a small get-together with Mike Hren and Shannon Marimon '00 over the holidays.

Since November Imani Payne has been touring southeast Asia with stops in Tokyo, the Phillipines and Bali. He's now in Margaret River, Australia, learning to bodyboard and supplementing his income picking fruit at wineries. His next stops include Thailand and Vietnam, where he hopes to teach English.

Nicole Tsong just started a new job in Anchorage, Alaska, in December after two years of wandering through China and Washington. Nicole, a reporter for the Anchorage Daily News, is covering federal courts and immigration. "Only in Alaska can the newspaper run a story about a moose that fell through a greenhouse roof in the city," she writes.

Suzanne Eastman writes, I would like to announce the engagements of three of my roomies from 23 School St., including Sarah Valkenburgh, April Rasala and Lauren Worley, who all got engaged post-Christmas time. Sarah, who attends Harvard Medical School, is engaged to Bill Tsiaras, who is attending medical school at Brown. As for me, I am in the third season of my soccer-coaching career at the University of Virginia. As you can see, soccer still consumes my life!"

With a fair number of Theta Delts losing bets on who would be the "next to go," Tom Reynolds was recently engaged to Emily Dern, whom he met in high school. According to watchwoman Ada Anon, a Ph.D. student at the University of Chicago, Trey was pretty nervous before popping the question, but got through it with flying colors. The same can be said for Kyle Marchesseault, whom I discovered albeit after a fair amount of detective work—is now engaged to Marisa Howe '98. Apparently, after several years of bouncing coast to coast, the couple thought it was time to settle down. Congrats!
