Class Notes
BEN WARFIELD ’00, Andrew Kelly ’00 and Rob Lower ’00 got together in San Francisco.
at the Stony Run Meeting House and then a wedding celebration at Clifton Mansion in Clifton Park. And we owe it all to Craig Hollander. We met at one of his birthday parties, and he was the mastermind behind the text message that led to our first date (Andrew and Craig were in the same Johns Hopkins Ph.D. program). Andrew and I spent the summer honeymooning in Spain and Mongolia and then headed for LA in August. Andrew is teaching history at Loyola Marymount University, and I’m applying for public interest law jobs … we’re keeping our house in Hampden and hope to get back to it soon!” I’m nearing the end of my second year of ophthalmology residency at Vanderbilt University in Nashville. My husband, Rob Travieso ’97, is busy teaching English at the University School of Nashville, coaching a fledgling lacrosse program and ardently rooting for the Baltimore Orioles, Baltimore Ravens and Maryland Terps basketball team. We recently had dinner with Kelly and Daniel Munoz ’96 who moved to Nashville several months ago for jobs in the cardiology department at Vanderbilt, and are eagerly awaiting the return of country music superstar Billy Nobel to Nashville from the Vegas Tim McGraw and Faith Hill show. That’s it folks, until next time …

the Redskins win, we were in good company with the extended Chapper and Zager families in attendance. Another reason I enjoy living in DC is that I get to spend many early mornings running with Molly Kastendieck, who is still happily working at George Washington University. Jennifer Tufaro Nolley writes that baby Tufaro Nolley is on the way! Jennifer is enjoying her work in Baltimore developing Mill No. 1, which is expected to be completed in August. There will be two new restaurants opening in the Mill that will have outdoor seating overlooking the Jones Falls stream. Jennifer is enjoying decorating the lobby, lounge and model apartment. Harry Connolly ‘70, also a Friends School alum, has been taking great photos of the project. Charlotte Marra has exciting news. She recently moved to London where she is the new director of the Alison Jacques Gallery. I am writing this issue of class notes from Budapest where my fiancé and I are taking a winter vacation. So far we’ve enjoyed lots of thermal baths and cultural sites. We are planning a July wedding in Baltimore at the American Visionary Art Museum. I am still living in Washington, DC and working at George Washington University’s Center for Integrative Medicine. I encourage all members of the class of 2001 to get in touch with me if I haven’t heard from you in a while. Hope everyone is well!

Hello, Class of 2001! I hope everyone made it through winter a little better than usual with the Ravens Super Bowl victory. I was lucky to get to watch a game with Sara Zager Chapper and her husband Mike Chapper ‘00 at their lovely home in Bethesda. Despite

who says, “I am currently working at McLean Hospital, an affiliate of Massachusetts General Hospital, where I used to work doing research for autism. They all fall under the Partners HealthCare System, Inc. I am currently teaching special education to students on the autism spectrum at a school called Pathways Academy and loving it. I still have a foot in the research door, but most of my time is spent with the students and doing some outside private consulting. Aside from work, I am busy with my friends enjoying Boston and traveling to places like California and many others to see those who have moved on to other locations. I have an amazing nephew who just turned seven in January that I try to spend as much time with as possible. Aside from that, I pretty much run out of time. I just had a major surgery on my head to help with the constant neurological difficulties that I have been dealing with for six years. I am hoping it will help relieve some of the daily pain I have. Fingers crossed. If anyone is in the Boston area, please feel free to email me if you want to catch up! Lauren2022@gmail.com. Hope everyone else is healthy and well, and most importantly enjoying life. Marisa and Jordy Alger welcomed their adorable son Leon Eugene Alger on July 23, 2012. Congrats, Jordy!
