Late-breaking news: Joaquin Escamille is leaving Wall Street to be a part of the Mars One project, fulfilling his dream to go to space. Say what?! Boom Boom Kambhu cautiously took a break from professionally betting on American Pharoah, Floyd, and sports to relay us this exciting news. And since Boom Boom’s first two picks won, we’re pretty sure he’s right about this. No need to fact-check, Andover! Both of us hope this round of notes find you well and enjoying life. Lots of updates to share, so let’s get to it. Owen Tripp gave us the scoop on his latest endeavor: “Grand Rounds is my second venture, and I am feeling pretty fired up about the impact we’re having on patients, their families, and the large companies who are paying the bill. We’re trying to make everybody a medical insider, so that [consulting] physicians at places like Harvard, Duke, and the Mayo Clinic doesn’t feel like a privilege reserved for the celebrities. The post-‘Obamacare’ era is going to be an important time for health tech startups, and I am glad to be capitalized in a way that will allow us to help out in a big way.” Socrates Kakoulides recently produced a movie for the UN titled Clouds Over Sidra. It’s a
virtual reality experience of a refugee camp, seen from the perspective of a young Syrian girl. The movie played at the World Economic Forum meeting in Davos and at a Syrian donor conference in Kuwait. Kel O’Neill helped promote Soc’s project via one of his regular contributions to The Creators Project. Socrates also let us know that a mini reunion took place over Memorial Day weekend to help celebrate Meghan Doherty’s wedding. In attendance were Rebecca Schrage and Annie Im. And, most important, Soc let us know that he, Brandon Stroman, Neil Kumar, and Jack Quinlan are excited for U2’s new tour. Lemon pants are already picked out. It was with great excitement that we heard from Lindsay McCarthy Errichetto. After graduating with dual undergraduate degrees in psychology (BS) and social thought and political economy (BA) from UMass, Lindsay began a human services career in Western Massachusetts. After serving in various roles in the field over the past 14 years, Lindsay is now the executive director of Family Life Support Center, Inc., in Adams, Mass. It’s an agency that oversees the only homeless shelter (for families and individuals) in Northern Berkshire County, along with several other programs for high-risk and vulnerable populations. She and her family recently moved to Williamstown, Mass., and she welcomes anyone who’d like to visit. After four years in the San Francisco Bay Area, Orion Montoya reports he is returning to Boston to start grad school in computational linguistics at Brandeis. Dana Parnes Stulberg and family moved from Cleveland to Chicago this summer, as Dana’s husband took on a general surgery position at Northwestern. Ben Oyer received his Massachusetts teaching license and will begin teaching math north of Boston this coming fall. Matt Romaine took a Sunday off from building Gengo, a crowdsourced
translation startup he cofounded, to stroll around Tokyo with his wife, Sawaka, and Shirley Mills, who was visiting the city to meet with investors. Babies! So many of you welcomed future members of the Classes of 2032 and 2033. Here’s the quick introduction to all of them: Born in August 2014, Lisa Galluzzo Borgatti’s third child, son Connor, leads the group. Sara Dietschi Lowy’s son, Elian Edward, arrived last November, as did G.J. Groos’s second son, Logan Austin. Rebecca Sides Capellan’s little guy, Wesley Jacob, joined us in early December. Jonathan Hoffman’s son, Nathaniel Calvin, arrived in February. Molly Seavey Boyle welcomed son Michael Robert in March. Garth Williams’s son, Miles Harvey Williams, was born in April. Felicia Shay’s son, Ethan James, arrived in May, as did Victoria Salinas’s son, Isiah Isakow Salinas. Doctors Elizabeth Greig and Simone Thavaseelan busted the boy trend with each of their girls: Jane Extein in February and Iris Leoni Donnenfeld in April, respectively. Elizabeth is on staff at UNC, and Simone will take over as residency program director of Brown’s urology training program. Faye Golden let us know her daughter auditioned for and was accepted into Pinellas County Center for the Arts (PCCA). Out of 480 students selected, Faye’s daughter is the only outof-county student to be offered a slot. Additionally, Faye was praying to finalize the adoption of her son this summer. Let’s send some good-luck vibes Faye’s way. Clancy Childs and Bethany Pappalardo Childs ’98 just hit their 10th year of living in London. Clancy joined Dow Jones as its chief data officer in December—but is still figuring what exactly that means. Clancy travels quite a bit back and forth to NYC and gets to catch up Andover | Fall 2015
