Sofia Echegaray wrote that she’s moved to Boise, Idaho, where she is writing, making music, and testing software. Michael Schulte wrote that he’s doing well and living with his partner, Sarah, on the north side of Chicago. “Anyone planning to be in town, please look me up—we love entertaining and have a spare bedroom!” Mike said it took him less than two months to recuperate from last summer’s Grateful Dead shows. Mike has been working for the past couple of years in the fantasy sports industry. Mike caught up with Dan Haarmann and Tushaar Agrawal last summer. They’re both doing well and have amazingly cute kids. Dan is in Menlo Park, Calif., with his wife and two kids. Tushaar is in Bethesda, Md., with his wife and three kids. Mike also played some fun-filled, highly erratic golf with Rejji Hayes this summer. Rejji digs his new job and living in Michigan with his wife and two kids. Gus Quattlebaum was recently promoted to director of pro scouting with the Boston Red Sox. And Peter Kaiser recently welcomed his third child and is living in Chicago.

It is still the case that I am in New York City, and it is also still the case that our class is not as receptive to my cajoling as they seem to have been in the past. Our Facebook group still has many subscribers (http://tinyurl.com/pa94fb), but as I was looking over the e-mail list the other day, I noticed many bouncing e-mails and many unsubscribed users. I say this all the time, but PA gives me a lot of space in which to talk about your adventures, and it’s a shame for me to submit notes that are so comparatively lean. Anyway, onward. In my own news, my first semester at NYU was great and useful. It is wonderful to be back in the U.S., and it is especially wonderful to be young and fancy-free in downtown New York. I’m going to start a punk band. During the fall, I had a long, long phone conversation with Greg Whitmore. The last place we saw each other was only a few miles from the NYU library (where I’m writing this), as we walked
up and down the still new and still tourist-light High Line. Greg has kept himself busy between work in the Pacific Northwest and engagements in Nigeria. He’s still trying to wrap his film about the sculptor Beverly Pepper, but he’s also trying to figure out how to meet—and purchase beverages for—the other 17 inhabitants of North America who don’t yet have Facebook accounts. Ivan Barry wrote from California, where he still teaches history at the Cate School, near Santa Barbara. He spent an entire month during the summer in Turkey. He was in New York over the fall for his little sister Kezi ’02’s wedding. While in New York, he met up with Byron Chiungos, who also recently got married. The entire Barry family, including recently retired PA fixtures Don and Roxy Barry, visited Ivan for Christmas. Donna Kaminski has finished her residency program in New Jersey and is moving on to a fellowship in integrative medicine at the University of Arizona, while continuing her medical missions in Malawi. As a sign of how much the gaming industry has changed, Dan Ingster and his wife, Melissa, have been able to leave Las Vegas for Florida without his switching fields. Dan is now the VP of slot operations at the Seminole Hard Rock in Tampa. Marta Rivera Monclova also has a new job, as an editor at Cloudera, Inc. Danielle Debrule completes this new job triptych, as she is now teaching children’s art classes through an outreach program run by the Newport Art Museum in Newport, R.I. She’s very happy with her new work, because, as she puts it, “Every day is art class!” In the family section of the notes, former frequent contributor Peter Caperonis wrote to let me know that he is getting married. Otherwise, things with him are more or less the same, as he continues to work in technology and telecommunications in Philadelphia, while also playing music here and there. Berk Nelson’s second daughter, Clover Malia, was born in December. Aaron Sharma wrote about his family (Ellie is 7, and Harrison and Emmett just turned 3). He’s still working in interventional radiology in upstate New York. Merry Rose wrote in to insist that her life is “crushingly boring.” At the same time, she included this completely unboring bit of information that I’m reproducing verbatim: “So I’m in LA still. Hating on the drought. Still working in advertising as a writer. And I’m now an unofficial expert in local travel. So anyplace within a few hours of LA, I can tell you where to eat, camp, hike, shop for used books, and stay in somebody’s cabin. I have no formal outlet for this expertise, just throwing it out there in case anyone needs any advice.” If you find yourself in Los Angeles, then, dear reader, consider asking Merry for travel advice. Similarly, Aaron Flanagan wrote to let me know that he’s had a “pretty uneventful” three months. But in lieu of travel advice, he quoted some lyrics from Public Enemy’s 1990 song, “Can’t Do Nuttin’ for Ya Man.” Finally, I attended my first PA alumni event in
New York in December, a holiday party in Chelsea. If there were any classmates around, they slipped from view, but I did speak to Deb Blanchard ’90, older sister of Elliott Blanchard. She told me that Elliott was back in New York, living on the Upper East Side. Deb was accompanied by Liz Stites ’90, whose younger brother was a classmate of mine in grade school. Sadly, I didn’t get to talk to them much. I also had separate Rockwell North reminisces with Joaquin Escamille ’97 and Chris Pulling ’97. Much of the evening was spent discussing alumni service with Michael Fang ’95, who interviews for PA, though I also unexpectedly spent awhile talking to Ayaka Shinozaki ’13, who is studying physics at Columbia. One of the guests of honor at the party was Stephen Carter, in whose pre-calculus class I became a wizard at programming the TI-81 calculator; it was a pleasure to speak to him and to his wife, Adela, at length about their son, Steve ’96, who is teaching English at the University of Colorado in Colorado Springs.

Laurie Coffey writes that she will be finishing her tour at the U.S. Naval Academy this summer and has been having a good time in Annapolis. She will be taking an assignment in Naples, Italy, with the Navy’s Sixth Fleet headquarters. “I look forward to being stationed overseas in/on something other than an aircraft carrier!” Laurie says. Her daughter, Brooke, is “lamenting” the lack of hockey rinks in southern Italy, so it “looks like it’s time to learn to play soccer.” Laurie has also joined PA’s Andover and the Military affinity group and attended the Veterans Day celebration on campus. Tyler Currie says that he, Ismael Arjune, Andy Mahony, Leevert Holmes, Jose Saenz, and Joe McCannon recently met up in Gbenga Dawodu’s backyard in Harlem for a barbecue. Tyler writes that Joe has “gotten into artisanal doughnuts.” David Engel and his girlfriend, Jill Nathanson, welcomed their little boy, Braxton, into the world in November. David writes that he’s “toiling away at the entrepreneurship Andover | Summer 2016
