2001

Hello all! Abby Gillardwasthe first to respond to my bimonthly plea for '01 news. She wrote: "I am clinging to every bit of my undergraduate past by participating, once again, in the classics FSP to Greece—only this time I get to be the T.A.! We are in our fifth week with six more to go and Turkey, northern Greece and the islands still to conquer."

Class of '01s are headed overseas this summer as well: Quang Truong is traveling through Japan, China, India, Turkey, Greece and Europe before starting his master's in architecture at Yale. Karthik Kalyanaraman will be hiking in Peru and working in Tegucigalpa, Honduras, on a land entitlement project. Pat Leslie is moving to the Bahamas to work on renewable energy projects at The Island School.

Law school news! Damaris Acosta finished her first year at Columbia and is interning at the New York State Attorney General's Office, Kim Vu finished her second year at Michigan and is working in L.A., and Dan Pollock completed his second year at Georgetown and is in D.C. working for a plaintiff-side law firm. Ken Gerber, Bill Burgess and Meredith Rubin graduated from UPenn; Michelle Begay graduated from Arizona State; Amy Hooper Kearbey graduated from Duke and is working in D.C.; and Ryan Connors graduated from NYU and is an assistant district attorney in Manhattan. Looking forward to legal adventures, Josh Crowfoot will start law school at the University of San Francisco this fall after several years teaching and coaching cross country at Parkview High School near Atlanta.

Having resisted (so far) the magnetic pull of law school, Meredith Kessler recently graduated from the Stanford University School of Education with a masters in policy, organization and leadership studies, and Matt Deninger graduated from the Harvard Graduate School of Education with a masters in educational policy and management. Also avoiding run-ins with the law for the time being, Kascha Semon begins a Ph.D. in philosophy at Boston College this fall, Elena Ghanotakis will start a masters of science in public health in developing countries at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, and Matt Shaffer will begin his masters in social work at Boston University.

In the working world, Brian Sharp is toiling in San Francisco as a programmer for Maxis/Electronic Arts on their newest videogame, Spore, the next project from the creators of The Sims; and Sara Tantillo will be the resident stage manager at Delaware Theatre Company next season.

In the wedding world, Lindsey Bishop writes: "In March I attended Ben Kennedy and Christina Buckheit's (Bowdoin 00) wedding at St. Andrew's School in Delaware, where the newlyweds are teachers. It was great to catch up with Britt D'Augustine, Steve Holmberg, Tam Boyar, Martin Kerestes, Chris Cutul, Erik Wright and Emily Littlefield as well." Evangeline Choe was married to Jackson Lehr 'oo in Boston in June and the two are now traveling around the world on their honeymoon!

Soon to be part of the wedding world, John Lutz and Emily Nytko were engaged on Valentine's Day, Ying Li is engaged to Oliver Varban (UPenn), Michele Coulombe and Matt Hosner were engaged in March, Eric Kelley was engaged to Loreen Chiumiento (Boston College '02) in April, Dean Krishna is engaged to Reena Vaidya (Swarthmore '00) and Connor Telles "snuck back home for a weekend to Fresno, California, from his last year at Yale Med to get engaged to his hometown hon- ey, Kristin Rathmann (UCLA 04)."
