CLASS NOTES Jackie (McKenna) Secor and her beautiful daughter Fiona, whom I love to pieces. Patrick Cournot ’07 has launched a Frenchstyled wine bar in New York’s East Village, partnering with friend Nick Fusco and parents Colleen and Pierre ’74. Ruffian is less pretentious than Mather Hall and offers even better food at 125 East 7th Street. I’m pumped to visit and try out Ruffian.

As always, I hope this issue of The Reporter finds everyone happy, healthy, and safe! It’s very exciting to continue to hear from those of you who have written in and to get some new submissions as well! Here goes! Unfortunately, despite the information I gave for the last Reporter notes, I did not move to California. There was a snag in my plans, so in New York I remain. I continue to work at an agency helping those with developmental disabilities as the senior behavior analyst and have recently been promoted, with title now including behavioral support educator. I have the wonderful opportunity to travel around the country for conferences, including a much-anticipated trip to New Orleans in January 2016. Prior to that trip, I will be making my way out west to visit Robert Taylor. He recently moved to Los Angeles from Boston to take a position as a financial consultant. I also will be visiting Ashley McNamara, who continues to live in and love Chicago! Nate Johnson is the brewer at Prohibition Pig in Waterbury, Vermont. Any Trinity alum in the area of Waterbury should stop in for a wide variety of ales and lagers, including the Bantam Double IPA.

Jenny also has transitioned to a new career and is now teaching 9th- and 10th-grade social studies.
