1994
Hello, class of 1994! I hope everyone had a good winter. One of the benefits of being the new class secretary is that I get to hear from friends I had lost touch with. One such friend is Claire Perryman Goodrich. She wrote that she and Sean have been married for eight years. After living in New York City for several years, they moved to Charlotte, N.C., and Sean received his MBA from UNC Chapel Hill. Claire worked in pharmaceutical sales. They moved to Minneapolis, Minn., in 2003, and Claire now stays at home with their daughter, Isabelle Anne, who is 18 months old. I also heard from Jason Amstutz, who headed to Salt Lake City after graduation before moving to San Diego, where he worked in the semiconductor industry and traveled to Europe and Asia until 2000. He moved back East and decided to pursue his goal of attending chiropractic school, which fits with his philosophy of healing and healthcare. Jason moved to Orange County, Calif., and became a trainer in 2002 and started school. He continues to be busy with school and work. Pete Baty, who has been living in Sydney, Australia, for the past year, wrote that life is good. He has been traveling, including a trip to the Great Barrier Reef and to New Zealand to ski, and he has been working on interesting environmental projects which involve the human health impact assessment of palm oil plantation and mill in the wilds of Papua, New Guinea. He mentioned that “there seems to be an avalanche of UVMers in Sydney suddenly.” He recently reconnected with Tom Davenport, who lives nearby. My sympathies to Pete on the “crummy ski conditions in New Zealand.” Life is so difficult sometimes. Last, but far from least, Zach Bayer married his wife, Lucie, in Prague in July 2003, and they recently purchased a home in Brooklyn. Zach works in New York City. I hope spring treats everyone well. We all enjoy hearing how you are all doing and look forward to updates, so please send them in.

I want to begin by congratulating Dory Folk and Chris Boland on their engagement. Dory is working as a marketing assistant at Heroix Corporation in Newton, Mass., and Chris is a 401K adjustments analyst at Fidelity Investments in Marlboro, Mass. Chris proposed to Dory over the holidays. Congratulations to you both! The Boston alumni recently organized a holiday party at the .406 Club at Fenway Park. Members of our class who attended included Andrew Fleming, Sarah Bombardier, Nicole Hintlian, Adam Wolk, Andrew McDonald, and Sarah Clark. Recently, I also spoke with Heather Larkin, who has been living in Boston since our graduation. She has been working in public accounting at Pricewaterhouse Coopers LLP for nearly three years, and she is currently a senior associate. Also in Boston, Jaclyn Haley has left her former position as a paralegal to pursue teaching. She is currently working at Sharon Middle School in Sharon, Mass., as an English teacher specialist, and she is teaching 6th and 7th grade public speaking as well as 8th grade research skills. Jaclyn is very happy with her new career, and she hopes to stay working in Sharon for a long time. Elsewhere in the world, Elijah Kislevitz wrote to let us know that he is currently living in Kunming, China. He is a member of a blues band that was signed by Coors Light Beer to be the Coors domestic promotion band in China. He wrote, “That meant three months, 18 cities, and 90 shows in some of the most far out places one could imagine. I still find it quite bizarre and spectacular that a guy living and studying in Vermont would end up headlining a blues band across a Communist country.” That’s all for now. Thanks to everyone for writing in.
