Class Notes

Seems we are in full-on baby mode, but we’d love to hear also about new jobs, new puppies, new houses, going back to school, dropping out of society, or a favorite baseball team that choked in September. Email your updates now, while you’re thinking about it!

Larissa Lipani Peluso was training for a triathlon while learning a new position as a math specialist teacher. Her boys, Anthony and Deacon, keep her busy, but she finds time to swim with the local Masters team. Larissa recently saw Laura Letchworth Nesbitt and Erin Rodman, who ran her first half marathon. Larissa also saw Andrea Haymes when they both ran in a Warrior Dash Mud Run (where there was also a possible Sara Goode sighting).

James Creegan, who made partner at his Princeton, N.J., law firm in the fall, lives with wife Meg and sons Jack, Cole, and Hugh. Caitlin Jenkins was to move from Brooklyn to Los Angeles after finishing her fellowship at the Brooklyn Museum in December. Jennifer Carter Tsimpris and husband Basil of Richmond expected their first child, John, in November. Robyn Oliver Hedges welcomed baby girl Sierra Rachel in July. Josh Bacigalupi and wife Darci welcomed son Miles Bryan, named after two soldiers who served with Josh in Afghanistan.

Betsy Kiger West lives in Ashburn, Va., near Amanda Newman Karhuse. Betsy welcomed Ella Elizabeth in June, and Amanda welcomed Ronan David in August. Sara Leedom sent her update from Mali and planned to travel to Senegal, Burkina Faso, Ghana, Togo, and Benin. Back in San Francisco, Sara saw Nedra Stuckey, who is working on her MBA in Arizona.

Darien Berkowitz Jacobson and husband Andy have entered Northern Virginia barbecue competitions; so far, their best finish is third place for briskets. Adrien Snedeker Dickerson and husband Adam have brought son Simon to sample the Jacobsons’ offerings. Andy Brown still travels the world as production manager for Hubbard Street Dance Chicago and was recently in Russia for performances at the Mikhailovsky Theatre in St. Petersburg.
