Lawlor and Alex Riley. The ceremony was beautiful, and I had a blast catching up with Katie Chabalko, Amy Hilliker Tobin, Marlyse Rudnick, Stef Pagano-Kor, and Reid Offringa. Lastly, I heard that elections did not take place at Reunion this year as there were so few people in attendance.

Hope this issue of The Reporter finds you all well! I, Jackie Caporale, asked you all to send me a little something about how you are staying healthy physically, mentally, socially, or otherwise, just as a way of changing up the notes! Over the past two years, I have immersed myself in this world of health and wellness, trying new foods, workouts, and even meditation! I subscribe to a few health magazines, as well as e-mail publications such as Well+Good, mindbodygreen, and MyFitnessPal, and follow a few fitness gurus on IG. Lucky for me, my work life aligns with my personal life in this way, and my agency has taken on a new health initiative, which is especially difficult in the nonprofit world where we can’t afford cool workout equipment or mid-workday workout classes like Google. We attended a wellness retreat that included some tai chi and qigong, mindfulness practice, and meditative walks. It was great to hear what some of you are doing! Devon Lawrence stays healthy by eating the
delicious, quick, and healthy meals prepared by her husband, Tyler Simmons. You can get some great food ideas by following him on IG@ tyskitchen. Devon is keeping busy managing the Travel with The Met program at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, which produces more than two dozen trips per year all over the world! She suggests that if anyone has grandparents or recently retired parents, the Met trips offer a truly special and unique experience! Sarah Spiegel is staying well at the new yoga studio she just opened in Saco, Maine, called Samudra Studio. Stop by for a relaxing session if you’re in the area. Danny Coleman and wife Shannon welcomed a new addition to their family on February 20, a beautiful baby girl, Laurel Grace Coleman.

They shared the following updates from their fellow Bantams in the Pacific Northwest. “We went to an engagement dinner last weekend for fellow Bantam Houston Gossett, who will be marrying Kato Mayeda in July. Also in attendance were Vanessa Lee Siegel and her husband. We ran into Paul LaBella at a bar that is decidedly the only Boston-sports-friendly place around. Jeff Stempeck works at Spotify! He asks that you personally send any Spotify grievances his direction. Brett Ramsay has moved back to Connecticut and is happy to be closer to Trinity.

I couldn’t know it at the time, but this letter / Fall 2016 /
