Class Notes taking on a Chief Cardiology Fellow role this year, as I start my Cardiac Electrophysiology fellowship at University of Colorado hospital, so I’m doing a lot of teaching and a lot of learning. Elliot [Chase] and I were married on September 10th, and had an incredible celebration with many wonderful Bancroft friends. Elana Kaufman Dean, Moira Finicane and Dorsy Yoffie, and my brother and his wife, Emily Bender, gave beautifully heartfelt toasts, and my brother’s oldest son, Jack, was the star of the wedding as a very charismatic ring bearer. Looking forward to seeing other lovely ‘02 classmates in April!” Rebecca Kowaloff writes: “I’ve had a busy but
great summer. In June, my boyfriend and I bought a house in Wakefield. I still work in Southern Maine and stay up there a few nights a week, but otherwise the commute is doable and it’s so fun to have a house. It was built in 1839, and I love all the historic details! I’ve been keeping myself pretty busy with decorating! Toward the end of the summer he and I spent two weeks in Switzerland and England. We explored beautiful Zurich, hiked in the Alps, and did a road trip around southern England visiting places I hadn’t visited on previous trips. On our last day in England, John proposed to me! We are so excited and are planning a wedding for next summer/fall!” Dena Raffa Mayerhofer and her husband, Matt,
welcomed Luca Anthony on July 8, 2016. Luca joins big brother, Vincenzo. Congrats, Dena! Congratulations to Zach Lewis, who married Rebecca Lewis in March 2016! Peter Habib writes: “Currently I’m working on a
design for a 700-Unit Residential Project in the South End in Boston. The project is in the early design phase and is starting to pick up speed, which is very exciting! I attached a few images of my renderings for the project for the proposed design. At the same time some of my earlier work is already in construction or complete. The Reading Public Library, The Pearce High Rise Residential Tower in Fenway & a few other smaller Academic projects.”
Greta Scheibel writes: “After eight years abroad,
I recently moved back to the Worcester area with my husband, Richard. We spent the better part of 2015 traveling and deciding where to settle down, ultimately buying a house in Northborough. There’s nothing like seven years in the developing world to make you appreciate Massachusetts! I’m working at Tufts Vet School in North Grafton, and enjoying settling into suburban life with our 15-week-old Golden Retriever, Riley--quite a change from the semi-chaos of life in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania. All in all, it’s great to be back in the area.”
Congratulations to Ben Weisberger who married Elizabeth Botcheller on May 14, 2016 in Bristol, RI. Living in Cambridge, Ben is Chef de Cuisine of No. 9 Park and Elizabeth is an RN at New England Baptist. Looking forward to seeing many of you at our 15! year reunion April 21-22, 2017! Becky
Jessie Feldman Prunell writes: “It’s been an
exciting year for us! On August 1st we welcomed our second child (another boy!) Oliver Joaquin Prunell. So far big brother Charlie (2.5) is handling the transition well. We’re still living on the Upper West Side of Manhattan, and both my husband Justin and I work at Google. I just celebrated my 6-year “Googleversary” and am enjoying my awesome six-month maternity leave! This past Fall we spent three months living and working at Google London which was such a cool experience. While we were there we also took a weekend trip to the Cotswolds in the English countryside, and to Madrid, Spain. This summer we stayed pretty local and waited for the baby! We managed to squeeze in trips to Nantucket, the Cape, the Jersey shore and Vermont. Also a couple Boston visits to see my sister (Sara ’00) and Margaret Bacon Duddy and their growing broods.”

Caitlin McDonough writes: “I’m still working on
my PhD in Biology at Boston University, hoping to defend in time to be Dr. McDonough at our reunion! I had a great summer working at Acadia National Park — it was my last field season collecting dissertation data, and Mara’s first field season as a baby scientist. Can’t wait to see everyone in the spring.” This architectural rendering is just one example of Peter Habib’s ’02 work as an Associate at CBT Architects in Boston.
