As promised in the last column, here is more news from Jenri- Tudder Walus: "On June 24,2006, we attended Stacey Briere s wedding to Greg Gilbert in Philadelphia. Amanda Medford Messina and I were among the bridesmaids.

While reading The New York Times I came across a photograph of Aran Toshav and his new bride, Rebecca Friedman, in the "Sunday Styles" section. The couple was married on December 9,2006, in New Orleans. Aran graduated from Jefferson Medical College and is a second-year resident in radiology at Albert Einstein Medical Center in Philadelphia. Rebecca, a Yale graduate, is the managing editor of McKinsey News, an internal publication of McKinsey & Co., the management consulting firm. Congratulations to the newlyweds!
