C L AS S NOTES
• Zachary Miller says, “I graduated from the University of Vermont and commissioned into the Army as a logistics officer. I spent my first 10 years jumping out of airplanes in Virginia, North Carolina, and Washington. I got married in 2008 and have spent the last eight years living in Kansas, Germany, and North Carolina. I am wrapping up a job running the Army ROTC program at Oregon State University. I would love to hear from anyone out there, especially anyone from Wilson Hall. The best way to reach me is email (millerzt@yahoo.com).” • Marisela Ramos teaches history at Phillips Andover Academy in Massachusetts. She lives with her spouse, Corrie Martin, and their 4-year-old kid, Marina. • Carter Evans was reminiscing about his days playing lacrosse and football. “The football team won the New England Prep School Championship; it was the first football championship in a long time for NMH.” • “In May, I completed my Ph.D. in anthropology at Vanderbilt University,” wrote Jenn Foley. “I focused on Mesoamerican archaeology — my dissertation research was based on my excavations at the Ancient Maya site of La Sufricaya in Guatemala.” Jenn lives in Tennessee with her husband, Matt, and their three kids: Jackson (6), Tess (3), and Nora (1). • Jocelyn Leary Lavallo still lives in New York City, where she’s a lawyer developing and financing wind and solar projects. Her daughter is 6 years old, and they have “two funny little wiener dogs.” Jocelyn was glad to see some NMHers at Cam Murrell’s 40th last summer in Maine, and has had some great visits with Laura Astor Mauldin and Emily Ennis Alexander this year. • Jake Kheel lives in Punta Cana, Dominican Republic. He saw Kahlil Lozoraitis ’94 for an epic 40th throw-down with live music and DJs at Jake’s house. • Mike Stone had a big year in 2016. In October, Reuters moved Mike from the mergers-and-acquisitions beat in Manhattan to cover the business of war in Washington, D.C. In December 2016, Mike married Lauren Gilchrist at a destination wedding in Sayulita, Mexico. The couple honeymooned in Myanmar. • Sophie Rousmaniere
Jenn Foley ’95, at her graduation with her family, completed her Ph.D. in anthropology from Vanderbilt University.
runs a nonprofit media company in Austin, Texas, making television documentaries. “I have a punk band called the Elected Officials,” Sophie wrote. “We finished a tour of Asia last year with the epic punk-rock legends MDC. [I’m] now developing radio for public health communication in West Africa and fighting exploitative mining operations in Portugal. Good times!” • Win Walker sent along, “Hannah and I took our two children, Oona (5) and Hugo (2), to Thailand for a month this spring. We explored the beaches of southern islands and headed up to Chiang Mai for the Thai New Year’s festival, Songkran. Traveling with two little ones had its challenges, but the Thai people are kind, generous, and patient. We are holding it down in Oakland, where I am still working as a project manager for a green building contractor and my wife works for Greenpeace. I still have yet to connect with Judy Tong, who recently moved to our fine city; feel good just knowing she is close by. As for turning 40, I have definitely noticed some changes in the body. Grey hairs are coming through, and I’ve got a bit of a belly … such is life. I am planning a California surf camping adventure to celebrate the next decade and hope to convince Colin Clark ’94 to come and play. Life is good, but I miss the days when we were surrounded by so many good friends and when the most pressing thing on the mind was a term paper or how to escape ‘Lance’ and the rest of campus security.” • Tamika Simone Morgan Liles-Henry and Maajo Cooper-Henry ’93 celebrated 10 years of marriage. Maajo was promoted to captain in the U.S. Air Force. He and Tamika live in Miami and have two kids.

have a huge life change! Ask him about the good news! • Jordan Kaplan has one of the greatest gigs of all time as the development director of the Obama Library Foundation. He’s been traveling with President Obama and working hard to pull together the funding for this transformational project. • Since both Patrick and Jordan are caught up in their day jobs, there’s a need for some folks to join the class chair team to keep engaging our fellow classmates. If you’re interested, drop a note to NMH!
