with a remembrance at Memorial Place, outside the gym, then had standing room only for dinner in Upper Left at [Paresky] Commons, and then watched Lone Survivor in a chapel full of students, faculty, and local citizens. Some of Erik’s SEAL teammates were there to answer questions after the film. It was unprecedented. In attendance were, among others, Rear Admiral (Ret.) Edward and Suzanne Kristensen (Erik’s parents); Capt. Tom Hudner ’43, Medal of Honor winner from the Korean War; and Erik’s crew team from the Naval Academy. ... The overwhelming support from the Andover community was beyond words. It was one of the most moving events I have ever attended.” As for me, I live with my husband of 16 years and our three sons, ages 12, 10, and 5, just outside of Boston, in West Medford, Mass. After practicing corporate law for eight years, I left big law in 2012 and am now the chief compliance officer for a global private equity firm. Though I love seeing everyone’s activities on Facebook, nothing beats getting together in person. Luckily, Pete and Lisa hosted my clan as well as Suzanne Dumas Miller and her family last summer for a barbecue. I was able to catch up with Lucia Murphy Jaccaci last fall in Shanghai, where she lives with her husband, Tony Jaccaci ’87, and their three boys. I also had the great pleasure of spending time with Bob Le Roy and his lovely wife, Sarah, over the holidays. Finally, Doug D’Agata would like us all to know that he, his wife, and his children remain awesome. —Heather

Here’s the reunion roundup. I’m pleased to say that nearly a quarter of the class was on campus this year, not to mention the many spouses and kids who came along for the ride. I’ve noticed over the years that there are certain reunion stalwarts who can be counted on to show up (hello, women of Frost House), but it was also
great to see more than a handful of folks who were attending a reunion for the first time. I don’t know about the rest of you, but I am consistently amazed at how easy it is to pick up with Andover folks, even those I didn’t actually know all that well or haven’t seen in a quarter century. Wandering into the Cage for the first big reunion dinner on the Friday night is always a little nerve-wracking, I’ll confess, though I suppose more out of anticipation than fear. Happily, as I bellied up to the bar, I was greeted by James Tilghman, who is still living in central Florida with his family and was looking forward to some time on his home turf of Martha’s Vineyard over the summer. Zel Saccani is also living down south— way south, just south of the U.S. border outside Brownsville, Texas. He runs a legal translation business. Angel Stanislaus, who caught up with Emily Muldoon Kathan, has a great new gig in IT for the Department of Veterans Affairs in DC. Quite a time to be starting work there! Emily is scheming with Sherry Martin Murphy to get their women’s hockey teams to play each other next year. Sherry is in DC as well and enjoying a new job with the State Department after many years in academia. I was hoping for a bigger turnout among my compadres who went to Novosibirsk during our senior year, but regardless it was great as always to see Marlene Laro, who has been successfully piloting a very new kind of law firm in DC, and Jennifer Stableford, who is a vascular surgeon at Montefiore Hospital in the Bronx and lives in Manhattan with her family.
