CAMERON BOSWELL shares, “My wife, Cherilyn, and I are expecting our first child in May—it is a boy and we are very excited. We are living in Corcoran, which is in the Central Valley of California near Visalia, in between Fresno and Bakersfield. I am working at my family business, the J.G. Boswell Company (agriculture), as the assistant environmental specialist, helping make sure we are in compliance with environmental regulations.” AMANDA JOHNSON is currently living in Germany. Before moving there, Amanda wrote, “In less than a month I will be relocating to Germany and cannot wait to get there; should be an amazing experience. Eddie and I will be there for at least two years, possibly longer. I have been living and working in Washington, D.C., for the last year and half as a photographer, which has been amazing. Hopefully it is something that I will get to continue doing once we get overseas.”

ERIC MORRILL shares that on Oct. 24, ANDREW BARKAN and Polly Hall were married in Little Rock, Ark. (see Marriages.) Per Eric, “A lot of Toads were in attendance: RYAN MEYER, CASEY MULLER, and I (all CdeP 1998, and all groomsmen), as well as fellow classmates LUCIA MARY HALLE CRAVEN with her husband, Brad Craven (who drove in from Alabama), BRYSON BROWN, and CYNTHIA LEE. Ryan was accompanied by ELIZA GREGORY ‘99 (they’re a newlywed Thacher couple as of last June); Casey was accompanied by his soon-to-be-bride, Ana Yang; and I was accompanied by my wife, Raphaëlle Rabanes. THOMAS BEATTY ‘99 was undoubtedly there in spirit and may have been there in person but, if so, was wellhidden. Not to mention Barkan family members! The festivities were both original and—unsurprising, given Andrew and Polly’s professions—musical, including a saw player before the ceremony, a procession in which all guests played ‘You Are My Sunshine’ on kazoos, and an impromptu round of Thacher songs after dinner (also, incidentally, on kazoos). WILL BARKAN ‘02 gave a robust presentation on the joys of marriage, and PHOEBE BARKAN ‘03 and I posed in assorted boas and tiaras at the costume booth provided for guests at the reception dinner. Parents of the groom, Joan and JOHN BARKAN ‘67, were simply beaming throughout the weekend’s activities, attended by John Barkan’s cousins, JOHN GILPIN ‘68, and DAVID GILPIN ‘70. The late A. WILLIAM BARKAN ‘35 would have been proud to see his grandson make his half of such a stellar matrimonial choice. The guests were sent back to their homes with trees in tubes, ready-to-plant in Polly and
