She is precious and I cannot wait to take her on a trip under the Mountain in the spring. We affectionately call her ‘Tori.’ I also had the most amazing time reconnecting with great Berkshire alumni at Nakia Howell-Turner ’96’s wedding. Nakia looked radiant as she married the love of her life, Tiser Turner. Robynn Fortner ’96, Javier Cruz Winnick ’96, Audrey Efford Griffith ’94, and Crystal MendezCovington ’98 were all in attendance.”

having a blast working as a full-time professional magician—so if you need entertainment for your next corporate event, give me a call. I’d like to offer congratulations to Tamara Azar and Scott Gordon, who each celebrated weddings recently (not to each other!). If you’re looking for a home, you should reach out to my good friend and classmate, Alex Cutler, Southern California’s #1 realtor! If you’re in the Los Angeles area reach out, I love connecting with Berkshire alumni!”
Look whom Chris Reichart ’98 found at Choate’s reunion—Burgess and Cindy Ayres, who both worked at Berkshire in the late ’90s, and Mr. Ayres was Chris’s college counselor. Great to see them!

We are great contributors to society and never miss a beat on a dance floor. I miss you all and hope we cross paths again.
