class notes (13) and Declan (9), who have remained strong and hold on to the memories of their parents. Cara also leaves her mother and sister, both of Gainesville, FL. Cara’s legacy will live on not only in her family, but also in the work she did for her children’s school, her advocacy for other cancer patients, and her success as a top-grossing real estate agent in Westchester County. She will be greatly missed by her roommates Carol Dowling Donnelly, Molly Kelly Edmondson MAT’93, Marnie Cameron Hoolahan, Mary Eileen Lambesis Kungl, Bridget Matthews-Kane, and Amy Smith. Many thanks to classmates who attended the services: Dave Blessing, Kevin Brady, Paul Curtin, Allison Kopicki, Matt McLaughlin, Jeff Nelson, Anne Marie and Harry Patz, Sue Warren Ramsey, Claudia Balzer Scott-Hansen, George Skabardonis, and Matt True. Other Eagles attending included Billy Cotter ’90, Chip Dempsey ’88, Julie Kelly-Detwiler ’82, Paul Edmondson ’90, Kevin Hoolahan ’92, Bill Luby ’88, Jim Meehan ’90, and Eric Tveit ’88. As Cara’s boys love to hear stories about their parents, a memory book is being created for them. People wishing to send anecdotes about Cara and Sean can send submissions to marnie.hoolahan@gmail.com. • In April, Douglas M. Able III was selected as the new athletics director of the Institute of Notre Dame in Baltimore; he will assume the post in July.

He lives in Baltimore with his wife and two young sons. • Jennifer Ament Moeller has served as Door County (WI) Family Court commissioner and register in probate in Door County, WI, since February 2011. Court commissioners in Wisconsin are court officials who fulfill duties similar to those of judges. While most cases she hears are in family matters such as divorce and paternity, Jennifer also assists with a variety of criminal and civil cases in courts and oversees administrative items such as budgeting and courtroom technology. • Carol Finklehoffe is still in sunny Miami. She has joined Leesfield & Partners, a plaintiff personal injury law firm handling cases throughout the state of Florida. She was recently certified as a specialist in admiralty and maritime law and serves as chair of the cruise lines committee of the Maritime Law Association. • Kim LaBarbiera-Paschall and husband Rob accepted a two- to five-year diplomatic post with the U.S. embassy in London, where they moved in January. Kim will be working for an investment bank in the Canary Wharf section of the city. Kim and Rob are both training for the October Marathon in Amsterdam. They are expecting visits from Kim’s BC roommates Jessica Prata Miller, Jane (Ngara) Pearson, Ana (Quadros) Johnson ’92, Annie (Mallick) Junge ’92, and Nicole Tufo Pirnie. Kim was also able to connect with roommate Tish O’Toole, who is a veterinarian and lives in Dublin. • Lt. Col. Sean Salene is stationed in Tampa with the U.S. Central Command. After graduating with honors from the Marine Corps War College in Quantico, VA, last year, Sean moved his family to the Sunshine State—and he does not miss the winter weather. He travels to DC from time to time for work and takes every opportunity to visit with his old BCRFC friends and teammates Heming Nelson and Robert “DJ” Simon. Both have
children under two—Heming has twin boys; DJ, a daughter—so their nights out are a lot shorter these days!

Correspondent: Laura Beck laurabeckcahoon@gmail.com What an amazing reunion, eh? Never been prouder to be part of BC’93. We had over 475 classmates and 100 brave spouses on Saturday night. Christina Galmiche Sliwa, 66 class notes
MBA’00, and Chrissy Diffley Regan did a fantastic job leading a great committee to beat our fundraising goal. Mike Fee, with Marco Pace, put together an awesome video of our years at the Heights with amazing, hilarious photos. Liz Cook Byrne planned a great Friday night at Ned Devine’s, where Randy Vera, MA’98, and Mike McAuliffe played, with Doug Schobel joining in for a song. Gary Gulman disappeared right when we tried to drag him on stage, and Bostonian Simon Kho hid in the crowd, to avoid getting called up. At the 25th, we’ll get Craig Finn and Tom Malec, MBA’08, up there! Our youngest Friday night attendee was Terry Cullerton’s sweet sixth baby. Six. Awesome! My happiest hug from a friend I hadn’t seen in 20 years: John Gilboy, representing the Keyes North basement along with Sal Tollis JD’00, Ray Alvarez, Matt Groves (sorry I didn’t get to say hi to you or Julie Buckley Groves), Mark Streeter, and Pete Ainsworth with his wife of 22(!) years, Treseanne. • On Saturday, we also celebrated 20 years of bar golf, Beth Connell Green’s original idea. While we had well over 200 at peak, in past years, it’s been a small group holding up the tradition: Mike Greene, Dan Walsh, Mazen Yacoub, honorary BC’93er Brad Ewald, Bill Meehan, Tiffany Juliani Zides MA’94, Mike Pouliot, and spouses. This year, there were over 70, including Ned Roseberry, Jason Underwood, Paul Bureau, Dave Smartt, Blane Walter, Jeremy MEd’94 and Teresa (Rohner) Whitaker, Meghan McDonnell Ellis, Anil Joseph, Mike Trabulsi, Noah Pusey, Kim “Scout” Flynn, Mario Palermo, Laurie Bertolacci, Jim and Lesley (Breaud) Mugford, Kelly Moran Heath, Stacy Eberlein Meyer, Erin McElroy Barker, Dilip Paliath, Claresa Mandola, Kathleen Haley, Deirdre McCaffrey, Christina Martin, Beth McBride DiLauri, Anne Trenkle Schaefer, Michelle Wright Bucaria, Nick Arrigo, Ali Gianinno, and so many others heeding the whistle. We needed Vic Ianno and Mike Ascione there as a tribute for truly starting the BC’93 tradition with the Valentine’s Day pub crawl of 1993. If you loved the 20th and don’t want to wait until the 25th, join us every first Saturday of June, at Tia’s at 2 p.m. We’ll keep bar golf going forever! • Saturday night flew by way too fast. Rob Carroll, Maura Kelly, Anna Fabian, George Hahn, Karina Alberto Adourian, Bill Smith, John Horan, Tara Medeiros Oliveto, Molly Carroll, Kathy Harney, and Ann Stanitski Stachowicz were there, but I never got to say hi. I’m sure everyone has many of those stories. Keeps us gunning for the 25th! I was able to tell Jim Morrissey that he’s no longer alone—already gray-haired in ’93, he is now joined by many guys, eh? But we are a good-looking bunch, if I do say so. • Too hard to be on the dance floor with so many to talk to, but Michelle Peckham Decker, Kristen Mastroianni Pascucci, Suzanne Harrington Connors, and Glynis Anderson found time. Kristen Youngblood Walker and I called Lisa Ferrari Dunn and Jeff Teeven when a little House of Pain “Jump Around” made us miss them even more. After the party, my Vouté neighbors John Martyn and Dina Nimatallah-Martyn, Erik and Marie Zoleta Terezakis, Christina Yannucci, Laura Bete MA’95, and Sheila Vaidya Dibb continued the celebration. • Then at Mass on Sunday morning, a hearty prayer was lifted, led by Fr. McGowan, Cara McNally, Tim Barrett, Christine Fahey, and me, for all of us, our amazing
