Carol works with a company trying to reopen some coal mines in the Raton Basin that haven’t been active since 1996. Carol has two kids in college, a junior at Milligan College in TN and a freshman at CSU, Pueblo, who will be married next year. Y Chris Horst writes from Golden, Colo., where she is a veterinarian and a partner at a six-doctor practice. Chris and husband Wade Dollar are passionate cyclists, pedaling events including Ride the Rockies, 24 hours of Moab, and the Leadville 100. Last August they welcomed son Zak, and in June they attended the wedding of Kristin Resor and Nick Martin along with Ben and Shannon Johnson Ames and Kim Matthi ’90. Y Becca Brackett Price and her husband moved into another reconstructed old house in Fayetteville, Ark. It’s their second redo and they are glad to be done with rebuilding and very happy to be in northwest Arkansas. They attended Chris Overly’s wedding in Seattle, Wash., and spent a weekend with Karen Crebase and Judd Braverman ’92 (and their precious kids!). Y Stephen Marshall is currently a vice president at Wells Fargo Bank in San Francisco and recently became engaged to Hallie Welch; a late October wedding in Antigua, Guatemala, is planned. —Dave Shumway
92 Donna Burbank writes of
a recent Colby “reunion” in York, Maine. The group included Heather Belanger, who lives in Tampa and was in the Boston area giving a neuropsychology presentation, and Steve and Kathy Lyford Bloomberg with children Ryan and Rebecca. Kathy lives in Exeter, N.H., and works in a pharmaceutical company. Also there were Cathy Swaffar Douglass, who lives in Portland, Maine, and works for a real estate firm, and Connie Palmer Merrithew ’93 with her two kids, Mollie and Jack. Donna lives in Nederland, Colo., and is a computer geek working in the software industry. They had a good week, despite constant rain, and it was good to be Down East again for those who had moved away. Y Alexandria Peary is in her eighth year as writing program director and associate professor at Daniel Webster College in N.H. Her first book of poems, Fall Foliage Called Bathers & Dancers, was published in fall 2008. She also had a second daughter,
Simone, now 1. Y Chris Frothingham reports the birth of his third daughter, Hannah Alden Frothingham, Sept. 17. She and mom are doing well, and big sisters Emma and Molly are adjusting well to the new situation. Chris sent a picture and, I assure you, the baby is adorable! Chris’s practice, Osteopathic Advantage, is quite busy, and Portland, Ore., continues to keep the family happy and occupied (although they have no idea what real fall foliage looks like out there!). Y Julie Bruneau is an assistant professor of English at Goshen College in Goshen, Ind. Julie is completing her Ph.D. at Notre Dame. Y Chuck and Sandra Scarano Crombie announce the birth of Mia London, born Nov. 6, 2007. Mia joins brother Max, 3. Sandra sent a cute photo of the two little ones in a pumpkin patch. Y Wylie Dufresne continues to do well as a chef in NYC. He opened wd~50 (named for the chef’s initials and the street address), a 70-seat restaurant with a state-ofthe-art kitchen, in April 2003, on Clinton Street on Manhattan’s Lower East Side. In March 2008 Frank Bruni awarded wd~50 three stars in the New York Times, and Wylie was nominated by the James Beard Foundation for Best Chef in 2008. I implore anyone visiting or living in or near the Big Apple to have dinner there. Who knows, maybe you’ll get a personal hello at your table from the head chef and owner. Y I was thrilled to hear from Scott Nussbum. He and his wife, Dara, were married in 2006 (belated congratulations). David “Rock” Roderick was the best man and his toast included some unflattering references to their college days and a persuasive argument that Scott was marrying a woman who was way out of his league. He has since erased that portion of the wedding video. Funny one Scott! John “Duke” Daileanes and Andy “Pipes” Rhein were kind enough to attend. Scott has been a special agent for the FBI for almost five years and is currently on detail as a special assistant U.S. Attorney in Virginia. He and Dara live in the Washington, D.C., area. Y Thank you all for your news—keep it coming. By the time the next column comes around, history will have been made. Our country will have a new president and I hope you had the chance to vote in this historic election. —Karen Wu

Older brother Asa is 18 months.

Y Brandy Shafter Chapman gave birth to twin boys, Brandon and P.J., April 4. They join big sister Connie, a kindergartener.

Y In September Hilary Gehman married Matthew Smith, a fellow rowing coach at Cornell University. Attendees at the ceremony included Fred Stewart ’91 and Herb Gottfried ’63 and the five bridesmaids were all alums: Nive Filipo Bailey, Katie Olsen Smith, Wendy Holcombe, Kathaleen Smyth Lane (who is expecting twins!), and Susan Furst Knight. Y In Portland, Ore., Debbie Mades Mellor, Jim Fitzgerald, Eric Sokol ’94, Paul Kim ’94, Sabrina Austin ’95, and Glendon Roy caught up at the wedding of Matthew Sullivan and Sara Regan.

He met Bob Ward, who was in Tokyo for business, for drinks, and, on their honeymoon, David Beatus and his wife, Jessica Schram, made a stop to visit with Ari, his wife, Miho, and their baby, Naomi. David and Jessica were celebrating their Sept. 29 NYC wedding and spent their honeymoon traveling around temples, shrines, and
