Has it already been that long since reunion?

Way back in July of 2006 Tracey Pettengill Turner married a Brit (Tracey chose the 4th of July weekend for her nuptials to set the tone for her marriage).

She is a rock star, especially with teenagers—she has spent much of her career counseling teens in Outward Bound-type programs. When I am feeling like a troubled teen, I give her a call for some free couch sessions") and Sophie Lieberman Beraznik ("my roommate in San Francisco before husband Stan scooped herup.The good news is that they live just down the street, which is great for us! After graduating from Wharton, Sophie was working at a Web site development company called Fluid. Last year, however, Soph and Stan quit their jobs and moved to India for six months to work in microfinance") all celebrated with Tracey. Tracey met her husband, Jonathan, on the soccer pitch, where he reportedly nutmeggedhermercilessly.Along with soccer, Tracey has been competing in Ironman triathlons and has started a new company, Micro Place, which launches this fall. Micro Place is a brokerage that enables people to invest in microfinance.
