To kick it off, Kyle Armstrong married Yasine Mogharreban (now Armstrong) in September in Carbondale, Ill. Also in September, Read Mortimer married J’lene Ancell in Park City, Utah, where Morgan Vickery and Eric Strom were in attendance. Read is now living in Santa Monica, Calif.
to Newport, R.I., in August and then to Japan in February 2010, where Rob will be stationed on the USS Fitzgerald. As for me, I’m still in Richmond, working as a freelance writer. My husband and I took a two-month hiatus in the fall to travel around Southeast Asia, Bhutan, and China. Not sure I’ll ever get the scrapbook together, but it was an amazing experience, one that I’m still trying to live off now that I’m back in the “real world.”
Charlie Porter and wife Beth welcomed their second daughter, Reese Tinsley Porter, on Jan. 22. (Check out the cute photo of his two girls.) Charlie has been a financial advisor at Stephens Inc. in Little Rock for just over two years. Ben Vranian said he received his master’s degree from Indiana University, then got a “job fairly unrelated to my degree in Charlottesville.” Rajat Mehta reported that he gave up engineering and is currently finishing up his MBA. After graduating in May, he will be moving to Cleveland to work for Deloitte Consulting LLC starting in September. Catie Webster graduated from Southwest Acupuncture College in Boulder, Colo., in December with a Master of Science in oriental medicine and moved to Asheville, N.C., to start her practice. George Gummere sent a fantastic photo (facing page) of himself with a new friend at the camel mart in Abu Dhabi. He said, “That was the best smile I could get out of him. I did a mini-study abroad course for my MBA in the U.A.E. in January; it was a great way to get a few extra credit hours and visit the Middle East (at least a small part of it).” Frank Brawley and his wife, Patricia, moved to Tampa and see David Traviesa and Elizabeth Boothby Krusen from time to time. Elizabeth is busy chasing after her charming 2-year-old, Lilly, and is expecting baby No. 2 in July. I joined Alyson Evans, Lizzie Wellons, Margaret Kopp, and Wray Barber for a visit to the

Alyson was married on May 31, 2008, to Jim Beha and is currently putting her graduate degree to work at a non-profit called New Yorkers for Parks. Lizzie was married in May to Eric Hartman and lives in Tarrytown, N.Y., where she is a social worker. Wray is enjoying her first year at the Tuck School of Business at Dartmouth and planning a summer internship in New York. Margaret is still inspiring
young minds at the Duke School in Durham and enjoying life in Chapel Hill.

Alden and Rob Watts are expecting a baby in June. Rob is still in the Navy, and the family will move
Hello friends, thanks to Lindsay Whittle for filling in for me this fall. I’m still in Washington so I’ve been lucky to connect with fellow Washingtonians Katie Kaufman, Tim Garon, George Gummere ’98, and Mr. and Mrs. Will Doffermyre ’98. Enjoyed seeing classmates at Mary Mac Winters’ wedding in North Carolina in November. Looking forward to seeing everyone in June for our 10-year Reunion. Thanks to those who sent me a quick life update – folks are doing a lot of interesting things, so here goes: Malsert Chapman moved from Miami to N.Y.C., so she is experiencing her first real winter since EHS, but she writes, “I’m loving New York. I’m working for a start-up that builds and manages contemporary art museums and cultural assets overseas. I had the pleasure of grabbing dinner and drinks with Jackie Yeh and Kirsten Sta.Ana ’98 a couple of times before the holidays and also recently ran into Prather Smith and her fiance on a night out with mutual friends in Soho just after New Year’s.”
