Andrew Margie and his family live in Brooklyn, N.Y. He sees his neighbor, Jason Covert, from time to time. Andrew has recently gotten together with Vin Farrell, Jesse Perkins, Jon Comings and Andrew Bogle ’94. He
reports that he’s even had a Mark Rooney ’95 sighting, “despite Mark abandoning NYC for the challenges of Rye, N.Y.” Andrew launched a new tech startup called Alumnifire that’s focused on better engaging alumni networks. He writes, “I launched it at Conn, and over 1,500 Camels have already joined and volunteered to help fellow Camels find jobs, internships, get advice and more. I’ve since launched Alumnifire at Princeton, Vassar College, Notre Dame and Penn. Join at cc.alumnifire.com.” If you’re interested in supporting the venture, Andrew would love to hear from you. On May 3, 2014, Kevin Stafford married Brandi Carlisle. They spent 10 days on their honeymoon in St. Martin. Kevin and Brandi live in Houston, Texas, where he works in energy marketing for GDF SUEZ and she is a nurse at Texas Children’s Hospital. Andrea Fisher Erda celebrated Germany’s World Cup victory with a month-long visit to Germany to see her mother’s family. She was thrilled to arrive the day after the victory, when the celebrations were still going strong. Rick Stratton and I (Keri Sarajian) celebrated his 40th birthday last fall with a family trip to Disney World.
