Class Notes

I still work at United Healthcare. My husband, Wade Van House, and I celebrated his April birthday in Italy, visiting Venice, Florence, and Rome. I had coffee with Chappell Tyler Tommasi, who was visiting the Twin Cities with her husband and three children. In May, I participated in my first Tough Mudder, surviving 12 miles and 26 obstacles. During our 15th reunion, I heard Dean of Student Life Cedric Rucker ’81 laugh, attended lectures with Professor of History Emeritus William B. Crawley and Matt Paxton, a regular on the TV show Hoarders, talked to suitemates Crissandra Finno Domroes and Beth Shultz Filmanski, attended a Virginia wine tasting in the Great Hall, had Carl’s ice cream, strolled through downtown, and stayed with Colleen Minion and Julie Newell Leslie at the Kenmore Inn. We caught up with Dan Tobin, Sarah Meyrowitz Meytin, Stephanie O’Connor Shockley, Dave Wrubel, Kate Lulfs Ehrle, Richard Ehrle ’85, and Kate Andrews ’96. I spent a few days in Washington, D.C., with friends and family, including Bethany Zecher Sutton ’93. When Jeramiah Dooley was in Minneapolis for business, we saw a Twins game at Target Field.

Carter Berkeley-Taylor and husband Rob welcomed son Brayden Michael in May. Amanda Neptune Bridges, husband Brad, and children, Kate, 7, Nick, 5, and Will, 2, moved with the Air Force to Jamestown, R.I They spent an evening with Brahim Asfahani, wife Tory Rendon Asfahani ’96, and their three children, and with Aryn Diggle Blanton ’98 and son Henry at the Centreville, Va., home of Colette Strawn Johnson, husband Mike Johnson ‘96, and their three boys. Kathleen Gillikin MacCubbin sold her house and moved to another area in Baltimore.

Dominican Father Patrick “Daniel” Tobin attended the reunion and ate lots of Carl’s frozen custard. He left his first ministry assignment at the University of Missouri’s St. Thomas More Newman Center and moved to Minneapolis to begin a new assignment at the University of St. Thomas, where he also teaches chemistry. He kicked off his time in the Twin Cities with a food and wine tasting at the University of Minnesota’s TCF Stadium.
