Jillian Waldman ’02 writes, “Last weekend, Eliza ’08 and I attended the graduation of our sister Lydia ’05 from Connecticut College, where she received a B.A. in music, summa cum laude. Eliza, a rising junior at Vassar College, is spending the summer in New York City with me, doing an internship in music communications with Americana singer-songwriter Israel Nash Gripka. In the fall Eliza will begin a semester in Paris, where she will study French and intern at Les Studios de la Seine, an international recording studio that has produced such artists as Björk, Alicia Keys, and the Scissor Sisters. As for me, after four years in New York City, I’m moving back to the Philadelphia area, where I attended college. I’ve just accepted a job teaching AP Physics C and Honors Physics at Archmere Academy, a Catholic high school in Claymont, Delaware. Apparently this is Joe Biden’s alma mater, so I’m looking forward to its being an intense and interesting place to work. My long-term boyfriend Michael and I will be looking for an apartment in Center City, Philadelphia, hopefully convenient to a train station.”
