stay connected... Island on Sept. 9. Danielle, Lucy Keating, and Meg Coffin were bridesmaids. Lucy also performed a song in their ceremony and Marc Anderson played violin at the reception! Caitlin Littlefield also exchanged vows in September. She married her husband Nick Neverisky over Labor Day weekend! Caitlin wrote from Washington state, where she is finishing her forest ecology and conservation PhD at the University of Washington. Tom Dimopoulos and his wife Jenni Sardo married earlier this year and took a honeymoon to Greece and the Mediterranean over the summer. Congrats to all of the recent newlyweds! In the Bay Area, Janis Scanlon Rice hosted a pool party over Labor Day weekend when Chimaobi Izeogu visited for a week. Among several of our classmates, Michael Ruderman caught up with Chimaobi and Janis at Janis’ home in Oakland. My wife and I have enjoyed visiting Margaret Ramsey and her neighborhood so much that we moved a few blocks away from her in July! Each Sunday this summer, Michael, Matt Lindsay, and I have traded theories on the parentage of Jon Snow and the origin of ice dragons. This fall, I’m hoping to visit Andy Hattemer and his wife Stephanie in New Jersey and meet their new direwolf, er, dog. That’s it from here. As always, stay safe, and stay in touch!

Hello there, I’m Jamie Bologna, the new ’04 class secretary. I want to start with a special thanks to Ali Schouten for all her excellent work over the past few years on these notes! Speaking of Ali, she’s in Los Angeles and currently in production for a new Hulu show. It’s called “All Night” and Variety says it’s about teens at a “lock-in graduation party, at which the new grads will do whatever it takes to make their remaining high school dreams come true.” Hopefully this edition of Class Notes makes your high school dreams come true. Jacqueline Bovaird reports that Derrick Kuan rallied an amazing ’04 dinner in Los Angeles this summer to celebrate McKee Floyd’s move to the city. It featured guest appearances by Jacqui, Derrick, and McKee, as well as Devon Dickerson Midland, Taylor Allbright, and Ali. Derrick sent me a photo of the gathering, which clearly shows their glamourous LA lives. Speaking of La-La Land, Andrew Liao moved there from New York City this summer where he’s a vice president at John Laing, working on energy and infrastructure finance. And Jisung Park recently finished his PhD in economics at Harvard and moved to the City of Angels to take

up a position as an assistant professor at UCLA’s School of Public Policy. Jisung also reports that he and Patrick Callahan camped in Canyonlands National Park this summer, where they suffered from dehydration but still managed to relish the starry tranquility of the Utah sky. Ashley Whitehead Luskey has her own Gettysburg address as she, her husband, and daughter have taken up residence there. Ashley began a new job as the assistant director of the Civil War Institute at Gettysburg College this summer. Since we’re on new addresses, Caroline Kemp Lopez just moved to Boston from Denver. Alexis Peedin moved from Chapel HIll, NC to Philadelphia, and is working as an assistant professor at Thomas Jefferson University. And Michelle Easton moved back to Boston from New York. She’s working as national training and curriculum manager for the nonprofit group Bottom Line. Dorothy Voorhees Atewologun and her husband Tola moved to Seattle. Dorothy is working for Amazon’s Prime Pantry and her husband is teaching high school social studies. Meanwhile, Jenn Vanecek Bales deployed to Iraq from Fort Hood, TX where she’s serving as speechwriter to the commanding general of Combined Joint Task Force—Operation Inherent Resolve. She says she’s looking forward to the dry heat of Baghdad. Travis Green and his wife Tyler moved from San Francisco to Portland, OR where he’s a Product Manager at Vacasa. Travis claims he’s finally an adult and uses their recent home purchase as supporting evidence. But considering the fun we had when he visited Cambridge recently, it’s obvious that the man still thinks we’re in our early 20s. Earlier this year, Marty Quinones started a new job at San Francisco environmental law firm Sher Edling LLP. This summer he’s worked on three cases against 37 fossil fuel companies related to climate change. Will Scharf splits his time between Jefferson City and St. Louis, MO as policy director to Governor Eric Greitens. He says he’s not married, has no new children to report, but has “a pretty sweet pickup truck named Rachel.” Meanwhile, Ashley Lewis Masse and her husband Dave have had their hands full after welcoming their beautiful daughter Madeline Marie Masse in March. Ashley describes her as “a mermaid baby,” who has already been enjoying the waters of New Hampshire’s lakes. In August, Marissa Hudson Prescott married Mike Prescott at a beautiful ceremony in Beverly, MA. Marissa says there was lots of dancing at the reception, and in attendance were Andover alums Abigail Weiner, Kinnon McCall Foley, Rachel Harmeling, as well as Wills Hapworth ’02, and maid of honor Meredith Hudson Johnston ’01. Abigail Weiner married Wills Hapworth ’02 in September on a farm in Pittsfield, VT. Jarrett Wetherell ’02 officiated the ceremony and they celebrated with a number of Andover alums: siblings Christopher Weiner ’01, Benjamin Weiner ’06 and Lindsey Weiner ’08,as well as Jonathan
Adler ’02, Stephen Brock ’02, Kinnon Foley, Marissa Hudson Prescott, Madeleine Fawcett ’02, Kat Conlon, Dean Felch ’02, Meredith Johnston ’01, Abram Mendal ’02, Tyler Mixter ’02, Alexandra Poyant, Benjamin Beinecke ’02, Austin Arensberg ’01, Colin Touhey ’06 and Brandon Winston ’02, Sarah Wendell is living and working in San Francisco, where she just left the Berggruen Gallery to build a technology tool for the art world. In September she married Stephen Sherrill ’05. In attendance were bridesmaids June Gordon and Emily Ma, as well as honorary bridesmaid Adam Draper. Lolita Taub said she had a great time catching up with Celia Alexander a couple of months ago on a whirlwind trip to Toulouse, France, Andorra and Madrid, Spain. Now that summer is over, Lolita expects to finish her MBA this December at Madrid’s IE Business School. Audrey Deguire Turro reports that her husband Stephen Turro is an assistant director in the Director’s Guild of America. Audrey says she’s now enjoying an easier commute for her new job at Merrill Lynch in Burlington, MA. On the other side of the planet, Ian Hafkenschiel has been living in Bali and is travelling to Japan and California for his work in cryptocurrencies. Closer to home, Alanna Hughes reports that she’s met up with Alex Thorn and Garrett Kirk in Boston, and Justin Cahill and his wife Christine in Nashville. Alanna lives in Cambridge and works at Deloitte Consulting. Speaking of Alex Thorn, he and his wife Hannon live in my neighborhood in Cambridge. I met up with them recently for good food, drinks, and conversation. They told us they’ve caught up with Seth Stulgis and Cotton Harrold this summer on Nantucket. Here in the Cambridge/Somerville area, we’ve also spent some quality time with Taylor Yates, his wife Karen, and their ebullient son Asher. This summer, the husband and I visited the family back in Sicily. I’ve also been continuing my work as a reporter/producer at Boston’s NPR station. Of note for me this spring was the in-depth investigation I did on some of the pernicious, unanswered questions about the Boston Marathon bombing. If you’re into that sort of thing, give it a listen. I’ll leave you with a common refrain I’ve seen in many of the emails from our classmates: “If there are ’04 people in my area, I’d love to get together with them.” From Bali to Baghdad, there’s probably someone there from our class. Connect and hang out!

Early reports on social media from our classmates in Houston are positive but, at the time of this submission, it was too early to sound a general allclear. Terrance Rubin, however, shook a proverbial
