www.andover.edu/intouch Several of you welcomed new additions to your lives over the past few months. Simone Thavaseelan and husband Brian greeted daughter Iris Leoni Donnenfeld in April 2015; she joins older brother Jake. Simone and Brian still enjoy living in Providence but head up to Andover quite a bit to visit family. Living in Denver, Steve Dise and wife Lauren announced the birth of their son, Anderson, in late December, narrowly escaping what Dise calls the “dreaded Christmasbirthday combo.” Ali Aiello Lemaitre and Josh Lemaitre welcomed daughter Tilly this past September. Ali says Tilly is already paying careful attention to the shenanigans of her older brother, Alfie, who is now 3. Ali is teaching perinatal yoga classes and hoping to add fertility yoga and nutrition to the list. She’s channeling positive yogi power toward the presidential race to help keep haters out of office, while Josh is relying solidly on the power of the Jedi. When he wasn’t busy working at Thomson Reuters, Josh had multiple Star Wars viewings lined up this past December. Lindsay Warner Ferrer and husband Eddie sent news of the November birth of Alejandro Ferrer. Lindsay describes him as a “spirited” little guy and was gracious enough to share a photo of him with us. Adorable. Marc Hustvedt and wife Carly also added to their brood. Joining older brother Maverick is Edie, born in early January. Luis Angel Gonzalez recently moved back stateside last December after five years abroad— three in Europe and two in Asia. Luis and wife Lauren are happily tucked away in Newport, R.I., where he is the supervisor of maritime engineering and gas turbine specialty at the U.S. Navy’s Surface Warfare Officers School. Luis will continue working through his command-at-sea training pipeline before returning to the fleet in roughly two to four years. Visit him while you can, just like Mike Napolitano and Jess Judge Cox ’00 recently did. Also on the move was Adam Tober, who moved back to Boston from Tokyo. Adam will be joining Skinner auctioneers as director of the fine musical instruments department. Michelle Kalas recently moved to Lawton, Okla., where buffalo roam the wide-open spaces. Michelle relocated for a position as a civilian legal assistance and claims attorney for the Army at Fort Sill. In addition to this, Michelle was commissioned as a JAG Reserve officer in the Army (her Army specialty is military law, and her job is somewhat like the TV show). All visitors are welcome! Also welcoming folks to his offices, in DC and Salem, Mass., is Seth Moulton, who continues to work hard down on the Hill to help make a difference in local government. Seth announced his bid for reelection to Congress in early January, continuing to help pave the way for new leaders in government. David Constantine married Molly Jennings in early September in Osterville, Mass. Helping
to celebrate were Tom Ryan, Pat Noonan, Erin Keaney Noonan, Leah Kalfas LaRose, Owen Tripp, Rob Holmes, Todd Pugatch, Paul Pennelli, Dave Weiner, Lara Constantine Craddock ’89, Tiffany Horne Noonan ’99, Claire Constantine Larson ’01, and Robert Constantine ’06. We’re excited to announce that some fun and light-hearted jabbing on the social networks actually works! Answering our call for updates were Lisa Devellis Medard, Hillary Dresser Seith, and Elizabeth Adams. Lisa Devellis Medard is currently enjoying a yearlong maternity leave from an engineering job in UK local government, following the birth of her daughter, Céleste Josephine Rose, this past August. Lisa moved to coastal East Sussex (England) four years ago from California, and, despite it being billed as the sunniest place in England, she confirmed she officially misses the sun. This is a big year for Hillary Dresser Seith. She is celebrating her 10th anniversary with husband Gary Seith (congrats!). They live outside Philadelphia and have two children, 9-year-old Juliet and 6-year-old Alexander (Xander). Hillary just completed an MBA degree at Villanova University in December; she was on a five-year track, during which she earned a fellowship to work on a Villanova women’s initiative, worked as the business manager of a small business, and kept a flexible schedule while raising young kids. She will be starting a new job at Vanguard this summer as a member of their MBA Development Program. Until then, she is thrilled to have the downtime to tackle some home improvement projects, take a couple of vacations, and visit family and friends, including Maggie Dickson and Julia Henderson, with whom she has remained close over the years. Elizabeth Adams recently completed a PhD degree program in musical composition. In addition to this amazing feat, Elizabeth also organizes political education workshops through the School for Designing a Society and the Free University of NYC, which grew out of the education working group of Occupy. And in her spare time, Elizabeth helps elders coordinate eldercare and real estate. Impressive indeed. We learned through the grapevine that Ian Klaus recently received a wonderful review of his 2014 book Forging Capitalism: Rogues, Swindlers, Frauds, and the Rise of Modern Finance (Yale Series in Economic and Financial History). We encourage everyone to grab a copy (you can find it on Amazon), as Ian provides an insightful history of modern finance via the evolution of trust over various eras of time. We were lucky enough to catch up with Shirley Mills and Jed Wartman this past fall during Alumni Council Weekend. Shirley crushes the finance world as a director, portfolio manager, and senior equity analyst on long-only and hedge fund strategies across market caps. Jed continues his work as senior associate dean of students and director of campus life up at Colby College, where
he and his family have been for the past few years. Wishing all of you the best and looking forward to hearing your next round of updates soon. —Kelly Quinn

Hello ’99ers! I hope this edition finds all of you well, having made it through the crazy El Niño winter! It appears that as a class we have been quite busy. Whether it’s been getting together to celebrate milestones, attaining professional accomplishments, or churning out candidates for the Class of 2033, we are an extremely busy group. Let’s start with the babies! Adam MacDonald and his wife, Angelina, welcomed their daughter, Presley Harper MacDonald, last July. The MacDonalds live in Orange County, Calif., where Adam is a senior vice president of investments and principal at the Adams Financial Group of Wells Fargo Advisors, LLC. Angelina is a board-certified behavioral analyst, assisting families with specialneeds children in getting funding for behavioral therapy from insurance companies and regional centers. Alex MacCallum and her husband, Nick, welcomed a son, Theodore Hopper Fribourg, in August 2015. Alex was recently appointed to run video at the New York Times and is looking for great people to join the unit. If you, or anyone you know, might be interested, please reach out to her. Marisa Connors Hoyt and her husband, Kyle, welcomed their third child, a daughter named Eliza, last September. Eliza joins big brother Connor and big sister Eve. Marisa says that life as a family of five is pretty crazy, but the Hoyts continue to enjoy life in Charleston, S.C. In November, Robert Ramsey and his wife, Tricia, welcomed the newest member of their family, Anna Ruth Ramsey, who joins older brother George. The Ramseys reside in Charlottesville, Va., and are very much enjoying living there. Jenny Seo and her husband, Anthony, welcomed a baby boy, Brennan, in December 2015. Jenny and family are currently living in Chicago, where Jenny is finishing up the last year of a combined internal medicine and pediatrics residency at the University of Chicago. The plan is to stick around Chicago after Jenny completes her program, at least for a couple of years. Congratulations to all the new parents and growing families! Andover | Summer 2016
