Notes from Class Secretary Kate: Justine Popik: “I continue to pick up freelance
work in NYC and now teach in Massachusetts as well. I am also preparing for a series of orchestral auditions, in hopes of landing a more permanent position. This spring, I ran my 11th marathon and finished in a Boston Marathon qualifying time. I will be tackling Chicago this fall and Boston next spring.” CJ Silva: “I’ve been working at Embrace Home Theodore Matthew Flajslik born on Leap Day.
Notes from Class Secretary Ariane: Kristen Brownell Flajslik: “My son, Theodore
Matthew Flajslik, was born on leap day, February 29th, 2016 at 1:06 am. He weighed 6 lbs. 13.5 oz. and measured 20.5 inches. With my husband Mario, I am enjoying caring for our beautiful baby boy. He has blue eyes and light brown hair like me and is very long and skinny like Mario. Teddy is a very happy baby and is growing fast. He enjoys kicking his legs vigorously for extended periods of time, so I am hoping for a future runner or swimmer. He unknowingly participated in several races before he was born, and has watched me compete in two triathlons and 5Ks this past summer.” Ryan Harrington, D.M.D. graduated from Tufts
University School of Dental Medicine in May of 2014. He completed a residency at the Togus, VA Medical Center in Augusta, Maine and has been working there for the past two years. Ryan married his long-time girlfriend, Rachel Lukas in July of 2015 in Stowe, VT. Good friend to bride and groom, Jamie Yood, officiated the ceremony and did an amazing job. Ryan’s wedding party included his two brothers as his Best Men, Tim Harrington ’06 and Mike Harrington ’08, and his good friends Paul Wright and John Tumolo ’01. Ryan and Rachel have recently moved back to central Massachusetts. In August, Ryan joined Leicester Dental Associates in Leicester, MA. He is excited to be back in the area and treating members of his community. Jonathan Dunn: “My wife, Christina, and I
welcomed our first child, Theodore Curran Dunn, to our family on April 15, 2016. Theodore has added so much joy to our life and every moment with him is a gift. I love watching him grow and discover new things and could not be happier being a dad. Teddy enjoys playing with his feet and listening to Disney songs, especially when sung by his mother. He is also excited for his first trip to Disney World to meet Mickey Mouse in October.”
Kiran Patwardhan: “I got married on July 30,
2016 to Gopal Varma at the International Golf Club and Resort in Bolton, MA. We are living in Coolidge Corner in Brookline. I also started a new job as an Instructional Designer and Training Specialist at a startup called CloudHealth Technologies in the Seaport District.”

Sarah Allen sarahelliottallen@gmail.com Hannah Holdstein Hannah.holdstein@gmail.com Alexa Dickman: “Almost four years after
graduating Suffolk University Law School (Class of 2012), I sat for the New York bar exam this past February, and I passed! I don’t have any definite plans yet, and there’s still a few other (much less daunting) requirements to fulfill before I can actually be admitted to the bar, but I genuinely feel like the sky’s the limit! For now, I’m staying in my corporate contracts job in the DC metro area.” Congratulations Alexa!

Congratulations to:
Loans in Newport, RI for over a year in the Marketing Department. My role is constantly evolving in a growing company, and I’m dabbling in sponsorships, event planning, recruiting and general branding techniques. I’ve been having a great time, and couldn’t be happier with my current geography! Also, as of a month ago, I’m engaged to my beautiful fianceé Athena. Though she’s a Yankee fan, I somehow was able to see past such a personality flaw (she’s going to slap me for writing that, but it’s totally worth it). Aside from those recent items, I continue to play baseball in a few 18+ leagues, and coach the Junior Gulls AAU baseball team. Overall, life is going swimmingly and my door is always open to fellow ‘Bancroftians’, especially those in ’07 class. If you find yourself in the small state, definitely let me know—always great to see you guys!” Alyse Dunn DiMattia: “I recently got married
on August 6th to Joe DiMattia and it was a blast. The weather was beautiful and it was a great time to celebrate with friends and family. In Disney tradition we spent a week in Disneyland and then went to Hawaii. About a year ago we bought a house right in Worcester, so I am a local again. I hope my classmates are all doing well.” Kristin Magnuson: “I moved back to the east
coast from southern California at the beginning of the year and am now living in the D.C. area and working as an environmental health sciences consultant. Though I miss living near the beach, I am enjoying D.C. and am looking forward to the changing seasons!” Kate Anderson: “I am still in Cambridge working
at a small education start-up that works with underperforming school districts. I have been playing a lot of rec league soccer lately and had the opportunity to play with a number of Bancroft alumni, including Sam Broadhurst ’09, Meg Anderson ’10, Olivia AngoodHardy ’10, and Dave Stillman ’10. I am looking forward to seeing the Class of 2007 at our 10th year reunion this April!

Of course the entire Bancroft community was stunned and saddened by the loss of classmate Vanessa Marcotte. The Class of 2007 remembers:
Myles Dunigan who received the 2016 Emerging
“I remember Vanessa as a genuinely kind person with an infectious smile and effervescent laugh. Though we did not keep in touch after high school, I see that Vanessa’s kindness only grew deeper, and her generosity greater. I hope her good nature and grace live on.”
