Margaret von Werssowetz margaretvonw@gmail.com and Molly Wheaton (H) 504-288-1990 mewheaton@gmail.com 10th Reunion: June 2016
This is Molly Wheaton and I’ve started helping Margaret von Werssowetz with class notes. I’m currently living in D.C. with Sarah Vance, and I’m working at an ad agency in Bethesda. D.C. is great, and I love running into
many classmates. I was also lucky to see a bunch of alumni over New Year’s Eve in New Orleans. Next up: I’m going to L.A. in February to visit Lizzie MacPherson ’05, and I’m visiting Caitlin Dirkes in Charleston, S.C., in April. I hope everyone is doing well and here are some updates on our classmates: Chris Lim writes “I think this is the first time I’m actually giving the updates... Since the last update, I’ve graduated from Penn this May (after two years of military service in between), and now I work in Seoul as a management consultant. I have not kept up with fellow classmates, but hope all are doing fantastic. If anyone happens to be in Seoul for whatever reasons, let me know!” Congrats to Chris Williams on getting into law school. We’re all sad that Chris will be leaving us in D.C. for bigger and better things at the University of Richmond! He still lives with Mark Battin, and they just went on a skiing trip together to Breckenridge. They also still love “Jeopardy.” Eliza Hopper writes “I’m still living in London having finished my M.A. in art history in November 2011 and am now working for an Old Masters art dealer which I absolutely love. I went to Florence earlier this fall with my sister and Caroline Mathison ’04 and am going to N.Y.C. for a weekend in February, where I’ll most likely see Holly Casey. I see Daniel Gottwald a lot, which is fun! He had a ‘Tacky Christmas’ party with one of my best friends from U.Va., which was a blast, and I’m seeing him for a friend’s birthday next weekend. All in all, everything is just peachy on my end!” Speaking of “VacayDan” Gottwald, he has since been spending time away from the London area, whereabouts unknown…unless you check his social media, in which case, you will know where he is and what he is doing. Once spotted with “caviar and champagne” in Munich of which I’m #jealous. Nea Fowle writes “I moved to N.Y.C., and I live on the same street as Eleanor Cooper and Harrison Jobe. I recently started at Aon as an insurance
