1999 REUNION RECAP Chris Norwood and Hannah Arnold report, “Twenty‑five members of the class of 1999 gathered at Jillian’s in Manchester on October 2nd to catch up and discover what their classmates have been up to for the past five years. Class members reported on marriages and engagements, graduate school, and the working world along with retelling great high school stories. Highlights from the event included a slideshow by Chris Norwood, a prize for Natalie Lebel who traveled all the way from California to attend, and vis‑ its from Mr. Berk and Mr. Lemire. In true class of ‘99 fashion, Derryfield alumni could be spotted at various Manchester venues far into the night. Those who could not make it were greatly missed and those in attendance are already looking forward to 2009.”

Meredith Steele writes, “Hi Everyone. I have traded the Middlebury Cougars for the Colorado State Rams! It is my first experience attending a school with a football team. (I am still partial to soccer, maybe because I understand it!) As it turns out, my degree in music and English provided little preparation for the medical world. I am taking a vari‑ ety of sciences classes to prepare for a Physician’s Assistant graduate school program. Thanks to Mr. Bradley, Organic Chemistry is really not that bad. I have reverted to being a science dork again, just like high school. I love Fort Collins, which is a beautiful front‑ range city an hour north of Denver. I have little distractions here aside from my wonderful two mutts, who contin‑ ue to grow and get into trouble. I hope all is well with all of you.”
Faculty member Bruce Berk reports that Anja Wallace moved out of Boston for the summer and is bicycling across the country for two months with a program called Bike and Build (www.bikeandbuild.org). She raised $4,000 for affordable housing projects, and a group of 21 people are cycling from coast to coast to spread the word about the affordable housing issue in the U.S. She says she’s having a blast and building really strong quads. n Kendra Rozett writes, “Congrats to all the recent graduates and newly engaged! Though I am not engaged yet, I am indeed a recent grad, and the newest employee of SELCO, as Helpdesk Specialist. Who would have thought: me, a government employee and a computer geek. I am enjoying the perks, and getting settled into life in Shrewsbury, MA, with my boy‑ friend. A big hello to all of Derryfield!” n Paul Barney married Georgiana Mitrus on June 16, 2004, at the Bedford Village Inn in Bedford.
