next 14 months. Cutler is getting affairs settled here and his wife and daughter (Erin and Caroline) should be coming in the next few weeks. Josh and Sara Wright are living in Poulsbo, WA. They have about a year left on his tour as the engineer of U.S.S. Nebraska (SSBN 739). They are looking at moving back to Saratoga Springs after this one. If you guys like horse racing, they say they are likely to have an extra room to crash if anyone needs one. Josh was also a groomsman, along with Jesse Seguin, at Dan Hall’s wedding on December 29, when Dan married his fiancée, Shannon Finn, in Springfield, MA. Peter Kent is selling information security technologies, finishing up 200-hour Ashtanga Yoga Teacher Training, gearing up for the Level II test of the CFA (Chartered Financial Analyst) and living in Roswell, GA.

in July for his son’s second birthday. Sean is doing real well and has mastered rugby, yard work, throwing darts by himself in the garage and cleaning his bathroom sink without his wife telling him. Times have changed for the better since VMI days for Sean. Landon also talked to Jason Dorn. He and his wife are expecting their second son later this year, so congratulations to them both. He is working for a small energy company and lives outside of Houston. He received an e-mail from the mysterious John Nathan Berg. He indicated that he discontinued his image as the most interesting man in the world, living in Denver and is revamping that image from the great town of Roanoke, so he can be closer to family. We’re glad to have him back on the East Coast! In May, Terrell Jackson, Maurice Pipkin, Eric Damon, Brian Malast, Will Beale, Jay Saunders and Landon (and all of the incredibly dedicated, understanding wives) attended the wedding of Justin Sloan and the former Karin Lipinksi on the Eastern Shore, MD. As always, the VMI crew was the center of attention. Shenanigans occurred (mostly from Terrell), and only non-VMI people in the camp got arrested. Surprisingly, Eric did not have his usual gazelle-like dance moves and kept his antics strictly professional. A few weeks after the wedding, Eric, Justin, Steve Walker and he traveled to see Brian Malast in New Jersey. Many great VMI stories were shared, and we enjoyed Brian’s witty humor. And finally, Will Beale and his wife, Amber, are expecting a boy at the end of the year. Maurice Pipkin and his wife, Georgi, are expecting a baby boy in January. Perhaps Maurice Eugene Pipkin V? Jim Palmer returned to northern Virginia after a six-month stint with Lithuanian SOF. Now back supporting U.S. government clients with Booz Allen Hamilton. Jason Dorn is working as in-house counsel to Texon L.P., an oil and gas company in Houston. He and his wife are building a house in Katy, Texas. Their son, Brady, will be joined by a little brother in November. Sarah (Johnson) and Curtis Bartholomew had their second child, Reid Alexander, on April 29, 2013. As for me, I’m still absolutely loving life in D.C., still working for the Navy and gearing up for another flag football season and another marathon (Richmond). Who would have thought that I’d run a marathon, much less two, when we graduated?! Thanks to all who submitted updates this time around! If you didn’t get the e-mail asking for updates, make sure the Alumni Agency has your current e-mail addy, so you’re not left out in the future! Also, keep an eye out for the invitation for our 10-year Reunion coming up in the fall of ’14! RAH VIRGINIA MIL! Ryan Shealy
