DA ALUMNI
Thanksgiving Day parade amongst his all-male dance krewe called the 610 Stompers. Did you really? Yes, you did. Still the real world, I promise. More believable, perhaps, for those of us who remember Logan’s sixth-grade cafepress days, he has been running InkMule. com full-time for three years now. I saw some of his operation when I was in New Orleans last spring. And to top it all off, Logan recently became engaged to Camy Todd, a classmate at Colorado College. Their wedding will be in New Orleans in 2017. My congratulations also to Caroline Stubbs who married Seth Jones, whom she met while in dental school at UNC Chapel Hill, on April 23 at Highlands Country Club in Highlands. They bought a house, and will be residing in Durham. Meredith Hall has also had a good year. She was awarded a Charlotte Teaching Fellow, and this spring she will receive her master’s of science in education degree from Johns Hopkins. She and her husband bought a house in Charlotte, where she loves living. Nicholas Thomas is living large in downtown Durham, leading product marketing at TouchCare, a health care technology company. He is also loving the recent growth of restaurants, museums, coffee shops, specialty stores, music festivals and things to do downtown and in the surrounding areas. I also couldn’t believe how much Durham has gotten its metropolis on when I was back in April. I am also happy to report that I see Jordan Schiff, Tarun Wadhwa and Parker Preyer on a regular basis. We find ourselves spending evenings at bars pontificating about the world’s greatest challenges. Still real. All are not only well, but thriving. I’m feeling that way this
