Liz Mattes Marrian ’99 writes: “Jason Marrian ’96 and I got married over the summer in Islesboro, ME in August 2013; it’s a little island off mid-coast Maine. In attendance at the wedding were me and Jason, his sister Keaton ’99, my brother Dylan ’96, Annie Corrao Allardyce ’99, Nick Corrao ’97, Patrick Fisher ’96, Jeremy Miller ’96, Zach Haberman ’96, and Eve Bruneau ’00. We all had a great time. Most people took a whole week off and used the wedding as a vacation. I wish we could do it again! Jason and I both work at Samaki Inc. We are a smokehouse and produce smoked salmon and other smoked fish. Jason’s dad started the company and now Jason and his dad own it together.”
