that the Alumni Office did a fabulous job of coordinating the events, which included cocktails and a private class dinner back in the dining hall on Friday night, various tours and athletic events on Saturday, and culminated with dinner and dancing on Saturday night. I look forward to seeing everyone back in five years – especially those who weren’t able to make it! You definitely missed out! Things in N.Y.C. are going strong, and our EHS contingent has grown now that Becky Arnesen Jenkins moved here with her husband, Peyton. Becky and Peyton were married this past June at Christ Church in Easton, Md., and the reception was in St. Michael’s held at the Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum. Becky writes that the day could not have been better, and they were thankful to share it with a special group of EHS alumni: Robin Arnesen Dahlgren ’98 served as the matron of honor and Betsy Watts Metcalf and Brittanny Wildman were both bridesmaids. Sarah Brown, Stewart Gilchrist Jones, Philip Nuttle, Charlie Kingsley ’01, Chuck Gilchrist ’67, and Bobby Watts were also in attendance. Becky started a new job working as a sales representative for a furniture manufacturer out of the New York Design Center. We are excited to have her join us in the Big Apple! Jamie McNab is in his second year at Stanford Business School and spent the summer interning back in New York, though our schedules were so hectic that we were not able to convene for our traditional EHS “power dinner.” I have a feeling he will be back soon though – we haven’t lost him to the West Coast forever. He recently visited his parents in Charleston and had a chance to catch up with Alicia Ravenel Boyd, Summers Clarke Lacey, and their husbands, Ed and Taylor, for drinks. Jordan Phillips is enjoying the private equity real estate world and his new dog in Charlotte and continues to see Lillian Smith on a regular basis. Hattie Gruber and

I were lucky enough to catch a glimpse of Lillian when she visited N.Y.C. this summer to celebrate and host an engagement party for Allison Jones, who will marry Ryan Hubbard this November in her hometown, Wilson, N.C. Hattie recently started her own business in the spring called “Kiss The Ring New York,” specializing in fine jewelry, custom designs, and engagement rings from the New York diamond district and beyond. She has been involved with making engagement rings for Allison Jones, Millie Pelletier Warren, and James Doswell’s wife, Lucy. She is also bringing her EHS writing skills into the 21st century, as she started a blog to go along with the business at www.kisstheringnewyork.com. There you can learn more about what Hattie offers and about jewelry in general, find her trunk show schedule, and see pictures of the lifestyle that is KTRNY. Hattie joined me in Las Vegas for the Couture and JCK jewelry shows in June, which was a perfect blend of business and pleasure! Maisie Cunningham moved to Venice Beach, Calif., and started a new job at a private wealth management firm in Los Angeles. She has made several trips back east this year, starting 2010 with Lauren Kemp Bonapfel’s wedding, and then again this past summer to host an engagement party for Carlie Hooff, who will end her reign as a Hooff when she marries Dan Casella this October in Alexandria, Va. The engagement party had a strong EHS contingent, including Carlie’s maid of honor, Elizabeth Hossfeld, Becky Arnesen Jenkins, Brittanny Wildman, and Lauren Kemp Bonapfel; Louise and Bev Williams and Gugi and Charlie Hooff ’58 were also in attendance. Sadly, I had to work that weekend and missed a memorable event, but look forward to being a part of the big day in a few weeks! Anne Perry Swift and Will Blocker maintain their Texas representation.

estate in Austin, while Will still lives in Fort Worth and works in petroleum land management. I hope to see them both for the Texas vs. Oklahoma game in early October! Vince Van Dillen completed a summer internship at an Annapolis hedge fund and is planning to get another position in the same industry in the fall. Jenny Kroncke just moved to Ketchum, Idaho, and works at a school in Sun Valley. She is very happy there and excited to have a ski mountain right outside of her front door! Katie Elmore Thomson and her husband, Russell, still live in Atlanta along with their two(!) children. Will is almost 1 ½ years old, and they welcomed a little girl, Caroline Elizabeth Thomson, on Aug, 28. Dennis Clancey spent July in Spain again, running with the bulls and teaching/training others to run. He is moving to Phoenix for a great job with Amazon and continues to serve in the Army part-time, with 20th Special Forces Group. They are putting him through intense physical training in preparation for courses that will lead to earning a Green Beret. Again, we are grateful for Dennis’ service to our country and very impressed with his continued advancement in the Army. Andrew Albosta and his wife, Jessica, welcomed Charlotte Paige Albosta to the world on May 22 in Fairfax, Va. She was a little early and weighed only 5 pounds and 9 ounces, but was in excellent health and continues to thrive. Since then Andrew has kept busy taking more photos than he knows what to do with, but a fair number wind up online: check them out at http://family.albosta.org. Thanks to you all, as always, for being such great contributors to our class notes. We love hearing from you and look forward to staying in touch in the coming months!

2010 has been an exciting year so far for many members of the Class of 2002! Azizi Jones writes, “I became a U.S. citizen in March, shortly before my 26th birthday. Also, I was recently sworn-in as an attorney in New York.” Congratulations, Azizi! The ever-busy Suzanne Pinckney writes, “Things are beautiful here in Portland, Ore. I am in my second year with a community-enabled agriculture project I helped found last year – we are really feeling climate change as the weather this year has hit the agricultural community pretty hard. Lots of learning and lots of great friends in the group. I am enjoying a little respite over the summer from my M.B.A. program in sustainable business at Bainbridge Graduate Institute – truly an amazing school. I continue sustainability consulting for corporations on strategic planning with my mentors Brian and Mary Nattrass of Sustainability Partners. All of this will continue when I move to New York City in October – a big transition and adventure. I will pack up in the fall and look forward to bumping into old friends in the Big Apple.”
