As for me, Iâve been staying busy with Andover involvements, including my first year serving as vice president of the Alumni Council. Iâm still cranking away at Google, leading a newly formed team managing Unileverâs business, which has me working long hours but has been really exciting. Iâll be traveling a lot this year so will be hitting you up in every city I go to. Iâm actually typing these notes on a plane to San Francisco, where Iâll be heading straight to dinner with Susie Dickson and Erin Winkler. Go Big Blue!

To kick things off, Pat Kinsel and his wife, Jill Ozzie â05, welcomed a son in 2013, Edward Kinsel, adding to the ranks of our classâs children. The family lives in Boston, where Pat is active in the tech and startup communities and currently works for Polaris Partners. There were a lot of class reunions in the S.F. Bay Area this past winter. I kicked off the holidays with Matt Lindsay, Michael Ruderman, Margaret Ramsey, and Janis Rice for San Franciscoâs annual SantaCon in December. Most of the same group also welcomed Tara Gadgil back to the Bay Area for a visit. After graduating from Stanfordâs business school last summer, Tara moved to Boston for a new job. A couple of â07 alumni also organized an all-class party, where â03 had a strong showing, including Kanyi Maqubela and his lovely fiancĂŠe, Martha Muna, Krys Freeman, Tara Anderson, Erik Trautman, Morgan Intrator, and James Chou, among many. I visited NYC this past fall for work and caught up with my college roommate Andy Hattemer, who has settled into Brooklyn and whoâs attended many of the Andover NYC functions. Also in NYC, Claire Reyner hosted a holiday brunch and caught up with old friends Matt London, Mari Ono, Lirra Schiebler, and Molly Hauptman. Matt and his wife, Jordan, visited San Francisco for Thanksgiving, where they caught up with longtime pals Janis Rice and Seb Benthall. The group met up with Erik Trautman at Dave Beyerâs Thanksgiving party, and with Sam Beattie and his fiancĂŠe, Julie Taylor, for Taraâs birthday party. Mattâs novel, The 8th Continent (the first in a planned series), will be published by Razorbill, a division of Penguin, in 2014. Phil Caruso and Kaitlin Ainsworth Caruso Andover | Spring 2014
