I Fall 2005

Ellen Newman Petrov has spent a hot and sticky summer with a few extra pounds on her frame as she awaits the arrival of the latest addition to her family, a little boy due to make an appearance in September. Ellen and Denny Petrov's '01 son, Mikhail, is alieady two and a haW Ellen reports that Kerin Brauer was engaged to Dennis Nunn this summer and that Rebecca Stover married Jared Baker in August 2004. The reception was held at a boathouse on the Charles and from all reports, was an absolute blast. Sara Michel did an amazing job of updating me on her posse, so I pass the report onto you. Sara is doing hedge fund marketing/ investor relations for ING's Alternative Asset Management group in NYC and living on the UWS with a big boyfriend and a small vizsla. As always, she's over-committed to projects, activities, and sports but is having fun with all of it. She writes, " Kyra Skvir is st:ill dating Mr. Wonderful Architect Extraordinaire. Kyra has been spending the majority of the summer tooling around NYC and Ll in a vintage Land Cruiser named Mr. Pepper. She is also drafting a mysterious business plan. Alix Peck will be married on September 17th in Virginia to another super C1bu architect who Alix met at Penn while getting her degree in architecture. Alix's wedding will be preceded by a barn dance where Kyra, Tara, and Sara will compete for the best western wear. Can you imagine anything more enticing than Tara Hanlon in leather chaps!? Tara is still teaching at the Field School in D.C. and, I believe, is next in line to be the principal of the place! She is still seriously dating the lovely Amherst guy that might be th e nicest, sweetest guy on earth. I would say they are two peas in a pod ...." Our overseas Trinity correspondents have many tales to tell. Jessica Lockhart Vincent and her husband Zander Vincent '00 are still residing in Italy, enjoying a good mix of leisure travel and work. As a volunteer caseworker and budget counselor at the Naples chapter of the Navy-Marine Corps Relief Society, Jessica had the opportunity to lend her expertise before becoming a fitll-time mommy. The Vincents welcomed their son, Alexander Vincent IV, into the world on May 10, 2005 (ciao, bambino!). A return trip is plarmed in to the U.S. in August to visit family and consume their combined weight in General Tso's chicken. It appears that one can easily tire of the endless amount of fresh Italian cuisine when it's the only option presented. Mind youI spend countless evenings grilling boca burgers on my foreman grill and calling it "cuisine;' so, Jessica, I'd be happy to pop on over to Italy and take some of that food off your plate. If you're sharing, that is. Mter five years in Manhattan, Katy DeConti has picked herself up and headed back to Connecticu t after her engagement to Jon Golas '96. They recently bought an old house in West Hartford and are planning a September wedding on Block Island. In what is (perhaps to me) one of the most exciting pieces of news in any issue of the Reporter, Katy writes that DJ Big Tone will be spinnin' the tunes at the fete, which will be emceed by Ray Jones .The real question here is whether DJ Big Tone will pay proper homage to our senior year and have the bride and groom dance their first dance to " Mo' Money Mo' Problems."The Golas alums will be out in full effect, including Dave Golas '92, who recently welcomed daughter Juliana into the world, and Ben Golas, who is a surgical resident in New York. Katy also reports that Em my Tracy is living in Maine after fleeing NYC, but is soon departing for fair England where she'll be studying at the London School of Economics. Uzma Akhand is still in NYC where she's working furiously on her doctorate and will soon be the good Dr. Akhand. Finally, Karen Go is kickin' it NYC style-financial research analyst by day, barfly by night. All these lovely ladies will be donning frilly dresses and doing Katy the honor of being bridesm.aids in her fall wedding.
