Sounds like quite a formidable two-year-old! Rachel let us know that Chris Hemmer and his wife, Kristen, living in Chicago, are expecting their first baby in the late spring, early summer, and that "Sandy Silliman Giardi and Mike Giardi are expecting a little Giardi in early sul111Tier!" And speaking of Chicago, Elissa Kovas checked in to say, "I can't believe it's been almost 10 years-it makes me feel ancient ... My husband, Ted, and I moved to Chicago from Boston after he received his MBA from Harvard in June of'01, and we welcomed Andrew Reed Kovas (calling him Reed) into our life on June 14, 2002. I am currently a "stay at home" mom, but I am working on opening a store in the immediate future. We bought a house in Lake Forest, IL, and are moving there in June of 2003. Baby and the suburbs in one year-... a lot of changes ... Anyone in Chicago should look me up-it's fantastic here ... Hope to see you all at Reunion!" Chrissy (Hewitt) and Craig Woerz have some exciting news of their own. Chrissy writes, "Craig and I are living in New Canaan, CT. A year and a half ago, Craig started an advertising agency called Media Storm, which is doing well. They create and execute n1.edia strategy for entertainment companies like FX networks and the Golf channel. I'm home with our two-year-old daughter. We're expecting our second baby at the end of May. We'll see if that impacts our making it to Reunion!" There may be something in the water, and it's not just in Connecticut. Chrissy continued, "Two of my senior-year roommates had babies last year. lizzie (lifland) Rich and her husband, Brendan, had twin boys in March 2002. Twins run in Brendan's family-I don't know if Lizzie considered the twin possibility when she decided to marry him! I don't think she is concerned, though; she's the most easy-going mother-even w ith twins. Lizzie and Brendan are in Silver Spring, MD, about five minutes from Ren Getzendanner '92 and his wife, Tory, and their two kids. I got to see all of them in September when I was in town visiting my parents. "My other senior-year roommate who had a baby last year is Liz (Hedges) Falvey. She and her husband, Todd, had a baby boy in May 2002. Liz left many years at Banana Republic to become a full-time mom. She's super happy, and they are living in Plymouth, MA. "Raana (Zia) Latif and her husband, Nomaan, are in San Francisco. Raana is in finance for Banana Republic; she missed New York when sh e moved to San Francisco, but she is really happy now. "Craig and I have been lucky to also have a bunch ofTrinity friends living close by. Fell Herdeg and his wife, Cara, just moved from Manhattan to Darien, CT, only 10 minutes from our house. They are expecting their first baby at the beginning of March. "We just had a Pike/Kappa dinner party at our house. Kelley McDevitt-Hooker (Kappa) and Steve Hooker '92 (Pike), Ali sa Coren Norris '92 (Kappa) and Toby Norris '91 (Pike), and Sheila and Scott Brown '92 (Pike) were all in attendance. We almost had Mimi and Malcolm M_aclean '92 (Pike) join us, to, but at the last minute they were unable to make it due to a last minute business trip to Florida. (Hmmmm.) Kelley and Steve live in Northford, CT, with their two kids. Alisa and Toby live in Manhattan with their son, and they have another baby on the way. Sheila and Scott live in New Canaan, CT, with their son, and

they also have another baby on the way. Mimi and Malcolm live in Darien, CT, with their son, and yes, they have another baby on the way, too." Craig may work on advertising for FX, but Chrissy should be doing marketing for Trinity! Ran Barton was also nice enough to drop a line to your humble Class Secretary. He writes that "Louise and I are mostly trying to keep up w ith Rand (three) and Henry (one) , who are full of energy and curiosity and every winter ailment you can fathom. I cannot wait for spring. Louise is still teaching kindergarten, and I am still slugging it out for Amtrak's planning and business development group." And Ran shared some news of friends. Hold on for a quick trip on the Alumni Express: "Britt Stockton is slated to have a baby in August and eager to return to Boston. Jason Slavick is finding great success directing theater in Cambridge, MA. Tony Canata is lawyering away in western Massachusetts and shrugging off the destruction of his apartment in a fire. Steve Tobey is [well and] traveling a lot for business. Jon Piper is a new dad as of January with a new daughter, Courtney, born on Jan . 17, and still in Boston. Steve Curley is in Phoenix, AZ, and due to be hitched in September. Rich Corcoran, still in San Francisco, CA, is due to become a dad in June. Fell Herdeg has a new house in Connecticut and is due to become a dad in March." Thanks for the update, Ran! Harry Cohen had some wonderful news of his own to share. "Shari and I just had our first child, Hannah, on Nov. 29, 2002. Jon Trevisan beat me by about two months w ith a son." Also in Boston, Ashlyn Hiley and husband, Eliot, introduced daughter, Tessa Benson Foley, on Jan. 18. Nicola D'Avirro was there for the labor and made sure to make note that all the stars were in proper alignment. Eliot has "matched in Boston for a retina fellowship, so we'll stay here at least until 2005. Then, who knows ... ?" Just a day before, on Jan. 17, but down in scenic New Jersey, Candy (Calon) del Prado had a beautiful little girl of h er own, M aya Flor Shah! C learly, there is something in the water ... Just across the river from New Jersey, John Socas, long absent from these pages, wrote in w ith some exciting news. " I see Marcus Marino '94 quite a bit in New York," writes John. "He's doing great and is an amazing father. Alex Golden is working hard at Barnes and Noble.com. Alex has a great w ife, Kate, and they're buying an ap artment in NYC very soon. McRae Williams is interviewing at hospitals up and down the East Coast, and his wife is expecting a child any day now. "In my own life, a show that I co-created with three other guys in New York has been having some success. We were flown out this past summer to Scotland to perform in The Edinburgh Fringe Festival, where we won The Spirit of the Fringe Award. Then, in December, the Guggenheim Museum presented our show in their Works In Progress series. But the best news of all is that we have signed w ith the Tony Award winning producer of Metamorphoses, One Flew OverThe Cuckoo's N est, and The Beauty Queen ofLeenane. "All in all, we've had a very lucky year, and I hop e our luck lasts. I'll definitely try to keep you posted on the show. It's called Velocity. I'm pretty sure we'll be at Jacob's Pillow briefly this coming June, and we h ave been invited to go to Japan in August, but we should be back in New York in the fall or winter of 2003!" Congratulations, Johnand all you Trinity people in New York (or Japan!) make sure you check out the show. Lynn Wolff checked in to let us know that "Renee Mailloux [came] to NYC during the holidays, and I got to see her son, Tyler, who is an adorable, strapping boy. He was about four months or so at the time."
