a bit, and is still our local hero.” Ha. I am told that this hero is also heavily invested in his new band and has been spotted strumming his guitar all over Manhattan. Hattie and Hoss have sent a few text messages with pictures, but I’ll wait until Nuttle supplies them himself before I share them here. Regardless, I can’t wait to see a live performance outside of the Chapel. My, how times have changed. James Doswell just gave birth to daughter Elizabeth “Betts” Doswell in the fall of 2012 – congratulations! And hence, begin our many announcements: Becky Arnesen Jenkins and her husband, Peyton, who went to U.Va. with me, gave birth to Christopher Peyton Jenkins, Jr. on Dec. 2, 2012, in N.Y.C. Little Peyton has met a few EHS friends including their neighbor, Hoss, and Brittanny Wildman and Bill Meierling, who paid them a visit right when the little guy was born. Maisie Cunningham Short was married to her husband, Andy, last May – see the picture above of the very happy couple! Congratulations, Maisie! Glad to see that your life change almost four years ago to the West Coast has been fruitful! Carlie Hooff Casella, Brittanny Wildman, Bill Meierling, Elizabeth Hossfeld, and Lauren Kemp Bonapfel represented the Class of 2000 at their nuptials – I was so sad to miss this big day!

days in Turkey for their honeymoon. Carlie Hooff Casella and her husband, Dan, went on a medical trip to Zambia this past fall with international volunteers in urology and worked on training local pediatric urologists. She writes that they had an amazing and fulfilling experience and look forward to going on more medical trips. I’m insanely jealous – I think they are the only people I know who have been there! Brittanny Wildman was engaged to Bill Meierling (who was actually a member of our class for freshman and sophomore year) last summer in Napa Valley. They reconnected and live in Alexandria and are planning to wed this June in Cape May, N.J., (Brittanny’s hometown). Another congrats! Continuing on the wedding front, Jordan Phillips was married last summer to Megan Anderson in Aspen, Colo. He and his wife still live in Charlotte, N.C., with their two dogs, and see P.X. Head and William Stallworth regularly. In fact, they all celebrated Jordan’s wife’s birthday in Figure Eight Island with Lillian Smith Teer, Allison Jones Hubbard, Elizabeth Mathison ’02, and Kat Hutchison ’02, who I believe was also recently married. Lillian Smith Teer was married almost one year ago and loves being back in Wilmington, N.C., in a new home with her husband, Michael. She
stays in contact with Alicia Ravenel Boyd, who just gave birth to her first child/daughter, Louise “Weasie” Shannon Boyd on Nov. 20, 2012. Congratulations Alicia and Ed!

Betsy Watts Metcalf and her husband, David, welcomed Elaine “Laney” Andrews Metcalf into the world on July 9, 2012. Betsy writes that Laney is “so much fun and she has enjoyed several visits to The Holy Hill!” I can’t wait for a picture of that! Michael McFarlane was married on June 16, 2012 to Leigh Turner, and they reside in Houston. Michael also wanted me to remind our class about the effort to establish the Dash Pierce Award for Excellence in Chinese that has been generously created and supported by so many of us. January marked the one-year anniversary of Dash’s death, and they are close to reaching the $25,000 needed to establish the award. As you all know, every dollar counts, so if you haven’t already, please make sure you donate today by visiting the EHS Alumni website, or emailing the Alumni Office directly. Rory Dunn, who hasn’t written to me in years, says that he now finally has “news he want to share with everyone,” which is that he proposed to his finance, Emily Baer, on New Year’s Eve and… she said yes! Congratulations as well! Definitely newsworthy material! Katie Elmore Thomson welcomed not her first, second, but third child, Anne (Annie) Sawyer Thomson, on Dec. 26, 2012. Wow! Big brother Will is 3½ and big sister Caroline will be 2½ in February. She says that life with three under 4 is crazy but absolutely loves being a stay-at-home mom and couldn’t be happier! McNeill Kirkpatrick is about to complete a neurology fellowship this July and will be moving to Greensboro, N.C., with his wife and 1-year-old little girl to be a neurohospitalist. And, William Collier and Dr. Kisha Young-Collier welcomed William E.
