Class Notes

Greetings, Class of 1991. I hope everyone is doing well.

After thirteen years in Singapore and three years in the US, Charlie Gullo and family moved back to Southeast Asia.  He started a job in Hanoi, Vietnam to help build a new medical, nursing, and residency program for a Vietnamese company, called Vingroup.  His six year old son loves travelling and is learning to speak Vietnamese in his international school.  Charlie and family are adjusting to the language and customs barriers and enjoying the adventure. He would love to reach out to any possible UMW alumni in Vietnam.

Susan Gray Herring’s son, Mark, graduated from UMW in May, 2018 with a BS in Economics and double major in English with a concentration in Creative Writing.  He is looking into a variety of job options. Susan’s daughter, Laura, graduated from Rappahannock Community College, Summa Cum Laude, and began VCU School of Nursing in the fall.

After 20 chemotherapy treatments, a bilateral mastectomy, and reconstruction surgery Nicole Laporte Parker is cancer free!  A routine mammogram in February, 2016 found the two masses and saved her life.  The love and support of fellow ’91 graduates Amy Rose LaPierre, Cathy Pond Guillena, Dia Quillen Hablutzel, Laurie Johnson Chidlow and Karen Clegg Blocker meant the world to Nicole, who is living every day full of gratitude.

Please continue to send updates. It is always great to hear from you!
