2001
This issue marks the two-year anniversary of the 'Ol Class Notes! (Or perhaps more importantly, our graduation?) Happily, no one seems to have lost any steam post-Hanover, both on this continent and abroad.
Fairly far afield, Esther Freeman and Adam Young met up with Katie Wade in Montenegro. Esther is gearing up to write her thesis (at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine) on the AIDS epidemic in several African countries. Will Hughes saw Erin Maxwell and Jen Morgan '02 in Mallorca, Spain, over Easter weekend. Erin and Jen were at a sailing regatta practicing for the Olympic trials coming up in November. Kate Knight cycled through Italy in May with Margot Knight '99, and is moving from Seattle to Boston this summer. Adrian Loehwing was in Costa Rica this spring, living with a family, hiking in the jungle and surviving volcano eruptions.
And the grad school update for this fall: Heading to law school are Julie Axelrod (UCLA), Kim Vu (UMichigan), Melissa Alves (Howard University in D.C.) and Jesse Cook-Dubin (Duke).
Trading their green for red in Harvard grad programs are Karthik Kalyanaraman (Ph.D. in government), Kaitlyn Chantry (School of Education), Laura Duncan (M.A. in architecture) and Ellen Pfeiffer (M.A. in Russian area studies).
Christine Percheski will be pursuing a Ph.D. in sociology at Princeton, Michael Friesner his Ph.D. in linguistics at UPenn, Chris Van Ginhoven his Ph.D. in Hispanic literatures in New York and Emily Nytko her Ph.D. in chemistry at MIT (joining John Lutz in Boston, where he is at Harvard Law).
Evan Tong will soon be starting at the New England College of Optometry (with his new turbo Beetle convertible), Liz Merritt at Brown Medical School, Jim Noonan at the Yale School of Drama and Joan Hier at Dartmouth Medical School (yay, back to Hanover!).
Nicholas Kovner and Debbie Bernstein are both finishing up their second years of law school at UPenn and UVA, respectively. Lydia Dixon graduated in May from the Yale School of Forestry with a masters in environmental management and is moving to Jackson, Wyoming.
Believe it or not, some '01s are not in grad school. Here are some of our classmates' more out-of-the-ordinary pursuits:
Dave Marmaros is at Google, working on the illustrious Toolbar (www.toolbar.google.com) and has also recently revamped the NetBlitz white pages. Neat-o. Molly Feltner is an assistant editor at an online travel magazine, writing and editing articles. Carrie Hoverman is in California, training with Backroads. She'll be leading their international active travel trips this summer. Chance Hill has been accepted to pursue a commission as a naval intelligence officer and will start Navy Officer Candidates School in Florida this fall. Christine Campbell is doing research at the University of Alabama at Birmingham's health care organization and policy department, getting in touch with her Southern roots and playing ultimate Frisbee.
Overseas, Mike Holmes and Jessica Fortin are finishing up a successful year in Kenya (working in sustainable agriculture and teaching, respectively). They'll be returning to Burlington, Vermont, this summer. Pete Leckerling is teaching at the Dalian Foreign Languages University in China, DJ-ing at local bars and nightclubs and dodging the SARS virus as best I can." Jennifer Lee is still tent-making in Kazakhstan. Alexandra Meise was in Bosnia this spring and is off to nine weeks of a Middlebury summer Arabic language program.
Congratulations to Rachel Milstein and Joe Sondheimer, and Bo Adams and Windsor Salet '02 on their spring engagements! Best wishes to Sarah Honorowski and JT Mohr 03 on their August wedding in Ludlow, Vermont, and to Melissa Mangan and Colin Fox on their July wedding! Enjoy the summer months ahead.
