Rebecca Lowe married Stefano Bozzi July 28, 2007. They met while working at BBC Sport; both now work at commercial-TV rival Setanta Sports, where Stefano is a senior soccer producer and Rebecca presents and reports on soccer. The wedding took place in West London with the reception at Lord's Cricket Ground (the home of English cricket). A honeymoon followed in Ischia. The past few years have been crazy for Liz Merz. She moved to France in December 2005 to finish her master’s, and hasn’t been back to the U.S. since. She never planned on moving to Germany, but an internship offer she received while studying in Toulouse was too good to pass up. In August, she moved to Zurich to take over a permanent position on the HP Software EMEA marketing team. She’s been able to travel all over Europe and experience the World Cup in Germany, Christmas with her French boyfriend's family, and the absolutely amazing French clothing sales. Liz misses the U.S. sometimes—she’s a huge football fan, and says it was painful to watch the Steelers win the Super Bowl and her alma mater, the University of Florida, win the national championship in football and basketball (twice) while being abroad. She also misses some American food, like Campbell's Soup. Catherine Wahl graduated from law school in May and was scheduled to take the bar exam in July. She and her fiancée planned a move to London as she heads back to school for an LLM. She wrote that she hoped to see several classmates at her wedding in November. Jasen Wright ran in the Need for Speed Relay against Domestic Violence as part of a team whose goal was to raise funds to help end the cycle of abuse. His team, Bovine Intervention, was among hundreds of teams that ran a 60-mile, point-topoint relay race from Bear Mountain State Park, through Westchester County, and finished in downtown New Rochelle near the Long Island Sound.
