1999

Hello, ’99s!

Spring is well underway and I hope you’re making the most of it. We have great news to share.

First, Grace Eboigbe writes that she is engaged! Her fiancé, Christopher Medinger, is a graduate of Pomona College and is principal of an Everest Value School, a charter school for children in kindergarten through the eighth grade. Grace writes: “We actually got engaged at [Chris’] father’s ranch in Vermont (very close to Dartmouth). We were making s’mores and counting shooting stars and he proposed. The next day we picked apples in the morning and drove to Dartmouth and I gave him a tour of all my favorite places (starting with the Bentley Theater).” Grace is pursuing her acting career in Los Angeles and just recently closed a successful run of a new play at Theatre of Note and edited a book of poetry by Kirk Douglas called Life Could be Verse.

Ridwan Budijono also has engagement news to share. Ridwan proposed to Michelle Sanusi in October and they plan to marry in February 2017, with receptions in Jakarta and Bali. Ridwan adds that he moved to Jakarta (his birthplace) in 2011 after working in Hong Kong for seven years in private equity and investment banking.

Finally, Catherine Hutasuhut reports that Xiaojing Wang recently graduated from medical school and has opened her own practice, Bitter Melon, in Oakland, California. Her practice specializes in Chinese medicine. Xiaojing and her husband, Vaughn, are the proud parents of an almost 3-yearold daughter, Ada.

That’s all the news for now. I hope you’re enjoying the spring and look forward to sharing more news with you soon!
