diplomatic corps. Ryan Jackson is currently finishing up classes and his master’s thesis, after which he will be taking a position as product manager for a firm either in California or Boston. He had an amazing summer, working in Barcelona, Spain, and traveling to over 16 different countries with both friends and family. Closer to the EHS vicinity, Miller Cornelson and Steve Shaw are living together in Charlottesville. Miller works at SNL Financial as an energy research analyst, and Steve is set to graduate from U.Va. in May. They see a good deal of Thomas Light, whom I believe is working in finance in Richmond, Va. From Texas, Spencer Brown writes, “After graduating from SMU in May, I pursued a career in coaching football. I moved to Denton, Texas, to join the staff at the University of North Texas as the defensive quality control. UNT went 3-9 with wins over Florida Atlantic, Middle Tennessee State, and Western Kentucky and tough losses to Clemson and Kansas State.” Daniel Gottwald is also out in Texas, living in Houston. Anne Womble graduated in December with high honors from N.C. State University. She writes, “I enjoyed bringing in the New Year with my fellow EHS folk in D.C. at the Capital City Brewery. Now I am living with my sister in Atlanta. I am working as a full-time nanny for the
next six months and plan to find a job in the communication field in the near future!” Though that was the extent of “appropriate” information Anne could share, she noted that Jackson Tucker has just moved to Atlanta, where he is working in healthcare IT consulting at Cumberland Consulting Group. Kyler Carr, who is finishing up his last semester at UGA this spring, claims that he sees Jackson frequently, “every time he comes to see his girlfriend here at Georgia.” He also has spent a good bit of time with Sloan Battle since Sloan returned from his NOLS trip out west. Zack Hoisington was named a preseason All-American by InsideLacrosse. com. Zach is a senior defender for Colorado College. Last season, his team won the Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference championship, and Zach earned Defensive Player of the Year honors. Caitlin Dirkes graduated from College of Charleston in December with a B.A. in arts management. She is currently in Charleston trying to find an interior design job. She and her family had a great vacation in Colorado over Christmas. I’m glad to hear from so many people, but I hope to hear from even more next time. Many people have new e-mail addresses as our college e-mails slowly die away (depressing), so please be sure to e-mail me your latest info. Can’t wait to see everyone in June!
Class of 2007 brought in 2011 with a posh gathering in Charleston, S.C. EHS celebrities included Clark Barber, Annabel Rose, Kidder Williams, Drew McGowan, JT Jobe, Griffin Johnson, Jeb Leva, Hunter Coffey, Frank Stern, Sallie Madden, Sally Channell, Anderson Hackney, Jess Alfaro, Allison Ledwith, Claire Schmitt, Jane Arnold, and Zach Glubiak ’08. Ross Vizard reports that he has been hunting and hanging out with Brandt Gess ’09 at Ole Miss, while he is studying business administration and Spanish. Mountain man David Glaize had the chance/honor to shred some great snow with Vlad Roosevelt several times in Vail, Colo. Seeing the Hoisington brothers around the CC campus, with Zack ’06 as his neighbor, he sure sounds like he is living the pura vida even while working on his senior thesis. Other exciting news, though it seems a bit out-dated, my apologies for not reporting this breaking news: Nikki Ferland got engaged to Colin Regan last August. He was the leader of a rock climbing trip she took her freshman year and the two are planning for a summer 2012 wedding. Post-graduation, Nikki will be heading to Atlanta for her M.P.H. at Emory University, where she will be studying epidemiology. Congratulations, Nikki and Colin! Also, Victoria Friedman was proposed to over winter break by Robbie Fitzgerald, and the two are thinking May 2012 for the big day. He is a Sewanee graduate and currently in law school in Charleston. Congratulations, Victoria and Robbie! Lindsey Dorman accepted a job
