Also awaiting the arrival of a son is Robin (Zopolsky) Gabriele, who is married to Jason Gabriele '99. They live in TX, so we don't get to see them too often. I had the honor of attending Sally Amon's wedding last summer in Vail- she is now officially Sally Tansill, having married Luke Tansill '9 6. The wedding was amazing! Beth Nash is living in Virginia; she finished law school at Tulane last year and has since passed both the NY and Virginia bars. Valerie Kitay is a successful lawyer in YC.

I hope to make it but I'm not sure with this little one on the way!" Now, isn't that the greatest update EVER? I told you to take a deep breath. Thanks for being so thorough, Jen, and congrats to everyone on all the weddings, babies, and first birthday parties. SarahAnne (Cutler) Franklin is on the move again, this time she's back in D.C after some time living on my old street (mini shout out to Appleton Street!) in Boston. She and husband Jon moved back to D.C. in April so she could take a job with Covington & Burling, LLP, where she's focusing on white-collar criminal defense. The duo bought a house in Glover Park, on the same street where they resided before their Boston stint. She writes, "Home ownership is kind of overwhelming. The recent crazy rain storms flooded our basement garage and showed us the leak in our roof But we've got lots of room if anybody needs a place to stay while visiting D.C." SarahAnne maintains she will miss the Red Sox games and easy access to the Cape, but is happy to be back living within walking distance of Sally Steponkus, Tim Plant, and Tamara (Leskowicz) Goslin . Oil Parkison visited the Franklins recently and is also moving back to D.C. "Tamara, Ficus, and I are planning a big trip up to Ithaca, NY, for Jenica Rogers's

wedding in September." News from Manhattan- Channah Gray is living with her boyfriend and her master's in social work. She's working as a psychotherapist at a mental health clinic in the city and has recently started a private practice. She keeps in touch with Dan Greene, Spencer Liebman, Clarice (Zanoni) Smith, Kirsten (Graham) Randolph, and Aliso Boll . She writes, "Every year the four of us girls get together for a girls' weekend where we either go to my family's lake house in Georgia or hang out at Reece's parent's place in New Jersey." Sounds like fun! I've deliberately given myself an extension on the class notes so that I could bring you a recap of the world's most fabulous wedding. I'm biased, but I never claimed any sort of journalistic impartiality. On August 5, Ally Hurder was married to David Levy at the Paumanok Vineyard on the North Fork of Long Island. The glorious ceremony took place among the grape vines and culminated in an evening of free-flowing wine and dance. Alums in attendance were bridesmaids Charlotte (Fairbanks) Comer, Katherine (Lambert) Kurtz, and Talia Kipper, along with Rebecca Cole, Isabel Corte-Real, Levi Litman,
Julie (Mancuso) Gionfriddo '96, and Liz Fairbanks '02. As for me, well, my fiance Anthony and I are hurdling towards our September 17 wedding date. Most of the wedding preparations have been great fun, including a fantabulous shower thrown by bridesmaids Tamar Kipper '02, Ally Hurder, Charlotte Comer, Rebecca Cole, and Isabel Corte- Real. You know what's not fun, though? Nobody ever talks about the amount of time a bride must allocate to the following decisions: 1) What will I wear on my head> Is my head a funny shape? If so, this will definitel y dictate what I wear on my head. 2) Should I wear pantyhose? Pantyhose suck. But what if I sweat? What if I sweat in my shoes> Eew. Sweaty feet ... and then BLISTERS! All I'm sayin' is that once I'm happily married, I want all the tin1e back that I have been forced to spend pondering these insignificant decisions. I want all the time back in the form of a giant nap. Anthony and I are also in the process of closing on a home we purchased in Westfield, New Jersey, because, hell, if you have wedding agita, combat it by buying a house! Anthony and I plan to spend the winter months re-doing our kitchen and fixing everything that can be repaired with a butter knife. That's all, folks! Keep me posted!

Hello there! I hope this Reporter finds you well! First and foremost, a quick housekeeping issue: I cannot find a LOT of you! Many e-mail addresses are coming back undeliverable and the number of available 99ers in my address book is ever declining. I know that updating your contact information with Trinity is probably not the first thing on your list when you move, change jobs, or open a new e-mail account, but if you could take a moment to email me: alyssadaigle_ 99@yahoo.com, contact the Alunmi Office, or visit the alumni page on the Trinity Web site to update your information, I would greatly appreciate it - and I know the alumni office would as well! The notes are made possible by your contributions and "the more, the better" definitely holds true here. Please help me keep you in the loop. To those of you who do write - many thanks! I love to hear from you and appreciate the input! With that, here's what fellow classmates had to say this summer: Emily Beales McDowell and husband Tym spent the 4 of July with Jocelyn (Jones) and John Pickford '97 and Leigh Burwick '98 in CT. Emily writes: "We celebrated Leigh's recent engagement to Matt Fawcett and Jocelyn's appointment as a White House Fellow for the upcoming year. Jocelyn just found out she will spend the next year working with the IRS commissioner, Mark Everson." Jocelyn adds: "I am still living in the DC area, and am going to be changing jobs this year- I'll be serving as a White House Fellow with a work placement in the IRS. I'm excited to learn more about governn1ent and get the chance to travel to see policy in action. My husband John '97 is finishing law school next year." See her "Notable" in this section.
