Happy to be back on campus are, from left, Bob Gibbons, Edward Jasaitis, Caleb Jacobson-Sive, David Satterthwaite, Ted Helprin, and Pablo Mozo, all Class of ’89.
Saturday’s lunch was moved indoors, but rain didn’t dampen the spirits of Ali Fort, Alex Friedman, and Sarah Rafferty, all Class of ’89.

First, a big thank-you to all who sent in notes for my first turn as class secretary. It seems that some of those notes had also been submitted to Matt Lavin, so your news may have already been featured in the spring edition of the magazine. As for the rest, here goes: Alarik Myrin, Nick Rosenkranz, and Cricket Crutcher Mikheev had a mini Novel and Drama reunion at Bar Centrale following the

latest NYC celebration of Kelly Wise’s career. They fondly recalled the Brothers Karamazov, Lord Jim, and the rest of their “grovel and trauma” cohort. In March of this year, Allison Picott and her husband ran into Dave Reinfeld and his wife at a Celtics game. Allison reports that Dave lives with his family in Charlestown, Mass., and is the CEO of Mint Energy in Burlington, Mass. Dave has stayed in touch with Graham “Gib” Black, who lives out in Washington state with his family. Last summer, Gibby came East with his daughter and had a mini reunion with Dave and his daughter. Eileen Kim writes that she is busy raising her son, Levi, 5, who loves building things out of boxes and paper and singing Beatles songs. She is still working at Kaiser Permanente in Oakland, Calif., where she works half time as a clinician seeing patients and half time as an administrator helping her organization provide better care for its patients with diabetes. Although those two activities take up most of her time, she does see a few Andover folks on a regular basis. She reports that Nils Gilman ’89 lives in San Francisco and got a dream job at UC Berkeley recently. Maia Bazjanac lives about a mile from Eileen’s house. Maia has a son, Corwin, and is still running her own business doing dental hygiene for cats and dogs. Last year, Caroline Goodson Parker had a second daughter. Caroline lives on an idyllic island outside of Vancouver, B.C., called Bowen Island, and sees Elee Kraljee Gardiner on occasion. Tyke Higdon O’Brien reports that, though they didn’t know each other at Andover, she and Ann Gagnon Millington are now literally next
door neighbors in Milton, Mass. She jokes that she couldn’t understand why her house was covered in TP and shaving cream! After hosting Andy Mercy and Alex Tyneberg over the holidays, Britt Lewis had the great pleasure of finally getting together with Ramsay Turnbull, who also lives in Chile (though in Santiago—more than 600 miles north of Britt, who is on the island of Chiloé), and Virginia Blue, whose daughter is spending time there. Christina Erickson reports that she and her husband, Sel Cakir, are in their 13th year in Santa Monica, Calif. They have two boys—Benjamin, 14, and Kenan, 8—and celebrated their 15th anniversary last summer with a party in Istanbul, Turkey, where they wed in 1998. She often sees newlywed Rani Ali-Ahmad and also Alma Beck, who serves as a sort of fairy godmother to her boys. Christina’s family also had some visits with Anne Gagnon Millington and her husband, Pete, and their boys. Christina has stayed connected with Andover and now has a new reason to spend time there: Her son Ben joined the Class of 2018 this September. Peter Welch and Lisa Lopardo Welch also took on the new role of PA parents when their son Kyle began his junior year at Andover this fall. Rob Patrick wrote in to report on an amazing Andover event he was honored to participate in, an evening to honor non sibi role model Erik Kristensen ’91, Naval Academy ’95. I’ll let Rob describe it: “Erik was killed in Operation Red Wings in Afghanistan in 2005. [The film] Lone Survivor is a chronicle of that event. We began
