1988

Despite our roaming 'round the girdled earth, let's aim to get as many classmates back to Hanover this June as we can! All the way from Texas, Jonathan Risch sends news of births: "In an effort to provide more Texans to the class of 2025 (seeing that in print makes me feel old and in need of a good 529 plan), Earnest Wotring and his wife, Ju, welcomed Samantha Kate on April 15,2003 (perhaps with a built-in reminder like that Earnest should have gone into tax law instead of litigation). Not to be outdone, my wife, Alisha, three days later gave birth to twins, Jacob Stuart and Rebecca Hailey. With these additions, the mini-reunions of 105 McLane (where Earnest and I were freshman year roommates) have now become play group sessions."

Even further from Hanover, Tim Ambrose sends greetings from Hawaii: 'Aloha. After fin- ishing my Ph.D. in clinical psychology (1999), I worked for the N.Y.C. Department of Housing for 1.5 years, then moved to Hawaii to build a center for the art of healing. I've been herewith my part- ner, Harald, and our three dogs for almost three years. My time has been divided between travel, seeing patients and designing our coastal home. We live in a remote area on the Big Island, with- in view of the active lava flow. I'm the only psy- chologist in a district with 30K people, which presents its own challenges. Once the house is finished (projected this April), I hope to work on a book and start teaching at UH. Looking forward to the reunion."

Sandy Broadus wrote pages of news, edited mercilessly to fit here. She and her husband, Joe Chontos (UVA'87), were married in Charleston, South Carolina, in October 2001. Now working in Hartford, Connecticut, Sandy was recently elected to equity partnership, and is the first African American female partner in history of her law firm. She writes: "In January I joined ranks with Victoria (Woodin) Chavey, a partner in our employment law group. Tory was randomly assigned to be my mentor when I first came to the firm (no one knew that we were fellow '88s or that we had been in the same section at Boston University School of Law!). Tory lives in West Hartford with Mark Chavey '87, their daughter, Helen (6), and their son, Paul (3). Marianne Downie also works in Hartford as associate counsel at Travelers' casualty/ environmental litigation group. In April 2002 Liz Ann (Nagel) Fragiotta and her husband, Enzo, gave birth to Robert Lucas. In November 2003 Gail (Hobson) Rodgers and her husband, Carlton, had twins, Alexis and Christopher, who joined their big sister, Lauren (11). Lori (Gontarz) Pajor and her husband, Gary, gave birth to Russell Kasmir Pajor in July 2002.Steph (Ascoli) Tallo and her husband, Michael, also welcomed twins, Matthew and Alexander, in October 2003. Stewart Lusskey married Robert Jones in her parents' garden in Louisville, Kentucky, in September 2003. Eddie O'Garro and his wife, Camille Barnett '91, have a daughter jennifer, now almost 3. Daron Fitch is practicing law in Miami/Dade County and lives in Miami with his wife, Suzanna Dotson '91, and their daughter, Jordan."
