Tripp Donelan is working in Santa Rosa, California at Pax Wine Cellars, and will be there for a few months before he heads to South Africa this winter to help a vineyard with their wine harvest. Having graduated from Quinnipiac University School of Law in May, Charlie Oates got married to Sarah Butler of Mechanicsville, Virginia in August. They have made Mechanicsville their home, and he is now working for the Department of Forensic Science as a legal assistant. Rob Profusek changed jobs and industries away from finance (he was previously at Lazard in their restructuring group) to a small production company that focuses on both films and staging special events. He writes, “I’m really enjoying the company, called Kaleidoscope Productions, and have had a great deal of exposure both on the business/communications side, and on being involved with the creative projects.” It was wedding bell time for J. Bradford Schwalm ’98 and Caroline Archer Cleary on September 10, 2005 at Trinity Episcopal Church in Northport, Long Island. Before setting off on their honeymoon to Hawaii, the new couple was surrounded by old friends for a group portrait.
