It was a match made at Andover when classmates Carlisle Williams and Paul Engelhardt, both Class of ’06, got married last August on Martha’s Vineyard. From left are Caroline Pires, Lindsay Dewhirst, Emma King, the bride and groom, Dan Bacon, Catherine Castillo, Bree Polk-Bauman, Alina Chen, and Rajeev Saxena, all Class of ’06.
Amanda Green Donaldson, and Pooja Sripad attended Ariel’s Halloween party. Our classmates continue to pursue further education in exciting fields. Jennifer Graham took a break from her studies at the Yale School of Management to visit Jacqueline Bovaird at her new home in Venice Beach, Calif. Seth Stulgis is pursuing a master’s of science degree in energy policy and climate at Johns Hopkins. Amy Lippe is in graduate school in Boston. Alanna Hughes is halfway through an MBA-MPA program at Harvard and occasionally sees Amy, as well as James Feigenbaum and Taylor Yates. Alanna kicked off the new year traveling to Japan, South Korea, Indonesia, Malaysia, and India to run leadership development workshops. Jamie Bologna had an exciting end to 2014. He got married and got a graduate degree! His wedding to Alex Wolniak was held at Andover’s Cochran Chapel. Guests included Taylor Yates, Travis Green, and Amanda Green Donaldson. After earning a graduate degree from Boston University in broadcast journalism, Jamie took a job at WBUR, Boston’s NPR news station. Laura Kelly lives in Oakland, Calif., with her husband, Dan Adamsky ’06, and their two “ridiculous” cats. She works for environmental NGO Global Green USA on composting and recycling projects. Jenny Wong celebrated her engagement to Nathan Sharp with a three-week trip to China. The two will wed in June 2015. Emma Sussex is serving as Jenny’s maid of honor and is doing a fantastic job as far as I’m concerned—she planned Jenny’s bachelorette party in LA and scheduled it for one of the few weekends I don’t have a Friday night taping! Let’s hope we’ll have as much fun as Mariah Russell, who recently met up with Saidi Chen, Emily Guerin, McKee Floyd,

Andrea Coravos ’06 and Olivia Pei ’07 hosted a “onesie” Halloween party in San Francisco last October. From left are Peter McCarthy ’07, Pei, Gunga, Coravos, and Jeni Lee ’06.
Sam duPont, Thatcher Clay, Anthony Roldan, Alex Limpaecher, and Matt Garza for dim sum and shuffleboard in NYC. Last fall, Jenny, Emma, Julia Bacon Fabens, Jane Herzeca ’05, Loni Edwards ’02, and I attended Olivia Oran’s beautiful wedding to Greg Beaton. Julia’s blog is my new favorite place to go for DIY projects. I saw Jenny Byer Elgin during the holidays. While having a fireside dinner, my LA friends unanimously voted her Christmas card, featuring her son Milo, the cutest in existence. Jenny will move to Michigan next year, but I hope to still see her whenever she visits her in-laws in Orange County. When not catching up with my old Andover pals, I am hard at work writing season two of the sitcom Young & Hungry for ABC Family. As always, it’s great to hear from everyone, and if you’re out in LA, please let me know.
2005 10th REUNION June 12–14, 2015 Matt Brennan matthew.s.brennan13gmail.com Alex Lebow alexlebow@gmail.com
Thanks to all ’05ers who submitted updates for the first edition of the class notes in 2015. First things first. Many congratulations are in order: to Meta Weiss, Laylah Mohammed, and Cassie Ornell, all of whom were recently engaged, and to classmates Abigail Seldin and Krishna Gupta, who were named to Forbes’s “30
Under 30” list in December. Krishna is founder of VC firm Romulus Capital. Abby reports that as vice president of innovation, she’s running the Washington, D.C., office for ECMC, the company that acquired her startup, College Abacus, last summer. Cassie spent time with Nicole Amaral, Sam Demetriou, Caitriona McGovern, and Sarah Waldo over the holidays in Portsmouth, N.H., and plans to move to Copenhagen with her fiancé this spring. Natalie Exner Dean started working as a postdoctoral fellow at the University of Florida’s Department of Biostatistics, helping with the design and analysis of the Ebola vaccine trial in Guinea, and hosted Meg Scarborough and Chris Zegel at her house in Gainesville, Fla., over Christmas. (They got the hot tub going for the occasion.) Danny Lee moved to California for his residency in emergency medicine at Stanford, Alison Wheeler visited Leila Adell in Austin, Texas, and Charlie Thornton saw Natasha Midgley perform in a A Very Janky Christmas Spectacular with John C. Reilly at a small theatre in LA. Charlie and Natasha also saw Andy St. Louis and Anthony Reyes on Halloween. Anthony made the big move out West, leaving his job at the U.S. Department of the Treasury in Washington, D.C., to serve as communications director for the leader of the California state senate. Laura Sciuto, who’s been spending her time in Philadelphia for work, highly recommends eating at High Street on Market, where Alex Bois is a chef. Laura also had drinks with Chris Donais at the 99 Restaurant in North Andover over Thanksgiving and saw Wes Howe on New Year’s in New York. She hangs out with Chloé Hurley, Chloé’s fiancé, Sam, and their dog,
