Julia said it was absolutely “awesome.” Dana Parnes Stulberg and husband Jonah welcomed their daughter, Maya Isabelle, in August, sharing a birth date with her 4-year-old brother, Ethan. They live in Cleveland, where Jonah continues his surgical training. Last, here’s some free advice: If you’re not reading Gerald Mitchell’s blog, Beautyful Ones, look it up (www.beautyfulones. wordpress.com). If you’re not listening to Jennifer Bassett Sherman’s band, The Living Kills, catch a show in NYC. And if you’re not sending updates to your class secretaries, snap to it.

I think I may have overdone it on our reunion edition—I had to do some pretty serious stalking to get the good gossip gems this time around. Thankfully, I had a few saving graces to boost my word count. And by saving graces, I mean perfect little bundles of joy! Noa Elizabeth Koplik may have deterred her mom, Helen Struck, from attending reunion, but she arrived with joy in August and all was forgiven. Helen and her husband, Rocky, have properly introduced Noa to San Francisco, where the new family of three makes its home. Anne Bartlett Fender and husband Christopher welcomed their third child, Vivian Reese, in August. Vivian joins big brothers Cole and Lane, who adore having a baby sister to fawn over (smart boys). After living all around the U.S. during Anne’s journey through dermatology, the Fender brood are now home sweet home in Golden, Colo. Emma Soichet and husband Ari Vampolsky welcomed baby girl Maya in September. Before Maya came on the scene, Emma and Ari made the move from LA to Nashville, Tenn. I think Nashville is a good choice for the new family of three. The city provides a vibrant music scene, fantastic Southern food, and, if we’re being honest, a chance at meeting Connie Britton in the flesh. (Priorities, people.) Cooper William MacBride attended reunion with his mom and dad, Andrew and Allison MacBride, albeit in utero. He promptly came into the world in September, joining big brother Winn. The MacBride brothers are such an adorable pair—watch out, world! The MacBrides live in Arlington, Mass., and Allison works for Greenpeace, in annual giving. Fred Papali and wife Tanu Chandra welcomed son Liam in the spring. Fred—like most parents, I would guess—is surprised at how much he is
Morgan Madera Baroni ’99 celebrated her wedding day at the Harvard Club in Boston on April 20, 2013. More than 20 PA alumni were in attendance, including Meghan Madera Bent ’94, Joisan Decker DeHaan ’99, Kirsten Lewis Riemer ’99, Fred Flather ’99, Morgan Madera Baroni, groom Roland Baroni III, Liza Trafton ’99, Tysie Sawyer ’99, Meggan Haarmann Newmarker ’94, Stefanie Santangelo ’95, Delphine Rubin McNeill ’95, Caitlin Madera Fawcett ’95, John Fawcett ’95, Meghan Hayes ’00, Megan O’Keefe Manzo ’94, Matthew Kalin ’99, Tiffany Horne Noonan ’99, Paul Penta ’99, Marlena Montanez Penta ’99, Nathaniel Fowler ’99, and David Constantine ’97.
basking in the wonder of all things giggles and poop with baby Liam. Fred is continuing his journey in medical training (11 years, friends, 11 years). In his current role, he is in pulmonary and critical-care training, focused on global health, and has set up a clinical research project in Port-au-Prince, Haiti. Last spring, Meagan Prahl married fellow Cleveland native Austin Krauss after a four-year courtship that began, of all places, in an airport. In film, it would be called a “meet cute,” which Meagan knows a little bit about since she recently played opposite Joelle Carter as “best friend Sarah” in an independent film, It’s Not You, It’s Me, also starring Vivica Fox (!). While I was stalking Meagan’s career in film on imdb.com, I noticed that she was in a mini docu-dramedy, What I Can Do For You, along with Lon Haber ’95. Here is a little piece of throwback trivia—Meagan and I were in the same Blue Key group our junior year, and Lon was our advisor! Adding to our nuptial news, last August Margaret Cantrell married David Danielson in Charleston, S.C. Margaret and David live and work in Washington, D.C.; Margaret is a senior legislative officer in the U.S. Department of Labor and David works in the Department of Energy, where he started an organization to fund the development of early-stage disruptive new clean-energy technology. Last September, Patrick Curtis married Terry
Farsani on the Deerfield Academy campus, where Patrick’s mother, Margarita Curtis, is now head of school. Pat and Terry live in Boston, where Pat runs Wall Street Oasis, an online investment banking and finance community he founded following his stint in banking after college. There are two additional career bits to report. John Tarantino is working in real estate development full time, but also has a fun side project developing a small-batch watch company called Martenero, which launched in November 2012. Martenero watches are hand built in New York and individually customized. It also must be said that John was at reunion, but we missed each other! I feel terrible about it, since we are dual alums of Andover and Emory, but my oversight was probably a consequence of my herding everyone for our group photo, so, you know, sacrifices happen. Lastly, Veronique Prado-Lacoste Smondack is living the dream in the south of France. She is now president of Golf de Chantaco in Saint-Jean-de-Luz, Aquitaine. Chantaco is the Lacoste family course, founded by French tennis legend René Lacoste. Both Veronique’s mother and grandmother were accomplished golfers, and Veronique now carries the torch for her family quite brilliantly. And that’s a wrap. Wherever you are, I hope you, too, are living the dream. Stay cool, and stay in touch. Andover | Winter 2014
