2001

While you await the next column devoted to juicy updates from our reunion, the following should keep you entertained (or at the very least informed). Robbie Barbero writes, "After four years in the warm sun of California (three in Palo Alto and one in Pasadena), I'm headed back to New England. I'm starting a Ph.D. in biological engineering at MIT in August."

Making the exact opposite move, Carolyn Roth blitzed, "I'm graduating from Harvard Business School this June and moving out west to work for IBM. If I'm not ready for the real world just yet, Aki Naito is a short drive away in Palo Alto in her second year of business school at Stanford, playing pong fulltime and going to b-school on the side."

Back in New England after her sojourn in England (the original), Adrian Loehwing reports, "I am working at Accenture as a global workforce analysis specialist and am living with Jess Webster in Somerville."

And bringing the word count for Boston-related news to around half of this column, Meg Fuchs writes, "I'm graduating this June with an M.Div. (which I maintain stands for mistress of divinity) from Harvard Divinity School."

In New York news Evangeline (Choe) Lehr and her husband, Jackson Lehr 'oo, are moving to Manhattan and Evangeline is starting a grad program in psychology at the New School in the fall. Also in the city, Sasha Kraev is going to be starting a surgical residency at New York Hospital. Leaving New York, Damon Austin reports that "after five years on Wall Street I'm headed back to the classroom in the fall for business school at UCLAs John Anderson School of Management."

In the only report of an artsy '01 endeavor, Eric Bussey writes, "I'm in San Francisco working on Kid-man the Documentary: My Quest for True LoveWith Nicole Kidman" Please let this be true.

Kristin Luckenbill reports, "I just finished up a great winter as assistant coach for the Middle bury College alpine ski team (I'm a huge traitor Dartmouth is one of our big rivals) and I will be playing soccer this summer in Burlington for the Vermont Lady Voltage."

Louisa Sadler writes, "Bonnie-Jeanne Regan got engaged to Jimmy Gerhardt '99 lastweek! She was in Chicago visiting me and we went out with fellow Kellogg-ian Megan Hitchner and Chicagoan Angela Russo."

Hamilton Fryerwrites, "Kevin Reavey '02 and I got engaged this spring. We're getting married next April and we'll be in Atlanta for the next five years while I train to be a radiologist."

Michael Chen reports, "I got married three months ago to Sonja Lee (Barnard '03) and had a brilliant time at our wedding in N.Y.C. with lots of'01s in attendance. We are doing well, living and working in Kansas City."

Karl Polifka says, "I'm running my first marathon (in Burlington) on May 28 and getting married July 15 to Heather Rivas (Middlebury '99). Then we're moving to Chicago, where I'll start at the University of Chicago Graduate School of Business in the fall."

Jesse and Rebecca Cook-Dubin had a beautiful baby daughter, Leora Alexis Cook-Dubin, on April 15 in Boston. Leora experienced her first Boston marathon as Jesse attempted to drive her and her mother home from the hospital across the marathon route. Surprisingly enough, the Boston PD wasn't terribly cooperative and the new family had to get home to Brighton by way of New Hampshire. Since then Leora has not missed a single Red Sox game on NESN (much to her Yankee father's chagrin).

Congratulations to all the '01 husbands and wives and babies across the country, and have wonderful summers!
