2002
Happy summer, ’02s!
Sarah Myers Pingree and her husband, Graham, made a big expansion to their family this spring — twin boys Rory and Parker were born on March 18. They now have four boys! Houlton (5) and Chester (3) have been great big brothers. The family is moving to Boston this summer, so it’s going to be a busy year for them.
I received happy news from Jamie Colligan: “My wife, Brooke, and I are overjoyed to announce the birth of our daughter, Alice Evelyn Colligan, on April 21! She joined us at 6:24 a.m., weighing in at 7 pounds, 15 ounces. We currently live in San Francisco, where Brooke works in the ICU at UCSF and I run finance and operations at Sapho, an enterprise software startup, with three other Dartmouth grads.”
Laura Grey and her husband, Robert Honstein, were thrilled to welcome Hazel Grey Honstein to their family in April. Hazel joins brother Henry, 2. They are still living in Jamaica Plain, Massachusetts, and even get to see some other ’02s around the neighborhood.
Rachel Ciprotti filled me in on her upcoming move: “I am moving to Seattle! By the time this is printed I will be a resident of that city, moving across the country from my hometown of Atlanta along with my long-time boyfriend, who has taken a job at Microsoft. Any local alumni, please look me up! I am looking for a job in the arts or in nonprofits.”
Julia Levy wrote and illustrated Donny the Bully, a children’s book inspired by the pervasive political bullying in the 2016 presidential campaign and its aftermath. Donny uses bright colors, rhymes and familiar topics such as sports and cyberbullying to help families talk about bullying and counteract the unfortunate normalization of bad behavior in public (and private) life. This is Julia’s first book and she ran a successful crowdfunding campaign to get the book off the ground. Copies of the first edition are still available at DonnytheBully.com. Julia lives in New York City with her husband, Ari Edelson, and their son, Eliot, 3.
Thanks for all the updates! Keep sending them along.
