It has been quite the year for Carrie Ann Quinn! Carrie Ann married Grayson Powell in October. In January, she was awarded a Joseph P. Healey Research Grant and sabbatical to Sydney, Australia, where she toured as actor and cowriter with her new play, Possessions. The play is based on the illustrious 17th-century Mancini sisters, who grew up in the French court then shocked society by leaving their aristocratic husbands, suing for divorce and return of dowry, and going “on the run,” traveling alone throughout Europe. Carrie Ann is also happy to announce that she received tenure and promotion to associate professor of theatre arts at the University of Massachusetts Boston, where she heads the acting and directing areas. Walker Teele and his wife recently moved from Durham, N.C., to Dallas, where he is working for BBDO and leading the AT&T account. They love the Tex-Mex food and are hoping to connect with other PA alums in the Big D. Look Walker up if you are in the area or know others who will be! Also moving cross-country are Jenifer Foss Smyth and her family. The Smyths planned to channel their inner Griswold and make a road trip out of it. Here’s hoping no Marty Moose statues are injured in the making of that family memory! Back East, Jared Jackson attended the Erik Kristensen ’91 memorial event on campus, where he caught up with Shafika Khayatt ’91 and Mike Day ’91. Shafika is working at Dartmouth College, and Mike is running for Massachusetts state representative. A short time ago I reported on Jared’s Pan-Mass Challenge bike team, which he started with a friend to raise funds for cancer research. He now has 31 riders and his fundraising is approaching $400,000. We are so proud of this exceptional example of non sibi. Speaking of non sibi, Anna Ivey cofounded the nonprofit Service to School, which provides free application help and mentoring to veterans applying to college and graduate school. Check it out at service2school.org! Exciting news from campus: Erin McCloskey was named associate director of academic technology in March. In the newly created role, Erin works with teachers to incorporate technology into the curriculum. Check out the full article about her new position in The Phillipian: http:// bit.ly/1piX1j4. She has enjoyed catching up with old friends and getting to know campus from a new perspective. Her office is in the art building just up the stairs from Kemper. Visitors are always welcome! That’s all for now. Have we mentioned to save the date for our 25th Reunion, June 12–14, 2015? —Tom & Regina

Classmates continue to work and travel around the United States and around the globe, and I thank you for sharing some of your adventures! Erin Eggert Brenner is grateful for all the French she took at Andover since moving to Versailles, France, in December 2013 with her husband, Jamey, and sons Christopher, 7, and Drew, 3. Erin is the program manager for a large product development program in GE Healthcare’s women’s health business. She plans to stay in France for about three years and has invited anyone traveling through Paris to “faire une visite!” As chief correspondent for AP in Turkey, Desmond Butler has been very busy, interviewing Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew prior to his meeting with Pope Francis and covering the tragic coal-mine fire in May. In April, Desmond wrote an investigative piece on ZunZuneo, breaking the news that this “Cuban Twitter” was secretly created in Costa Rica by the United States government, with the alleged goal of creating political unrest and undermining Cuba’s communist government.
Congratulations to Jamie Schriebl, who married Zoe Settle at the Loeb Boathouse in NYC in February and then enjoyed a two-week honeymoon in the mountains of Austria. The couple lives in NYC. Also living in New York, Andy Frankenberger has been spending much of his time on the road for poker tournaments in destinations including Paris, Montreal, the Bahamas, Los Angeles, and San Jose, California. When we last e-mailed, Andy was getting ready to go to Las Vegas for the World Series of Poker, running from May through July. I don’t want to jinx anything, but I am ready to watch him at the final table! Last October, Andy cohosted Poker Night on Wall Street on Bloomberg TV, the first poker tournament to be aired on a financial news network. You can find the broadcast on television and online. Off the felt, Andy keeps up with the cutthroat fantasy baseball competition that he, Logan Sawyer, and Eric Kessler began while still at Andover. Almost 25 years later, Andy claims to have an early lead this season and is thankful that technology has made it much easier for them all to stay updated on the stats and standings.
