Hello, '99s!
Another year is coming to an end and the holiday season is on the way! Time has flown and we have lots of news to share.
First, Hannah Morris writes that she and husband Will welcomed their third child into the world in July. Little Nora Jane was born on July TK and is already delighting sister Ella (5) and brother Liam (2 1/2). Hannah writes: "We continue to work at Choate Rosemary Hall in Wallingford, Connecticut, alongside Sarah Halsell Nutting and love watching our families play and grow together."
Nicole Eftychiou Post also has a growing family. On June 7 daughter Olivia Nicole turned 1 and older brother Bobby turned 4. Nicole and her husband, Rob, are both physicians working in south Jersey.
We also have wedding news to share. Lauren Cornella writes that Scotty McConnaughey married Arjun Garikipati, a '96 graduate of the National Institute of Technology in Rourkela, India, on July 28. Lauren writes that, "Scotty and Arjun had a beautiful ceremony at the Shaker Museum in Enfield, New Hampshire, followed by a terrific reception complete with dinner, dancing and fireworks!" Lots of '99s joined in the celebration with Lauren, including Laurie Carafone, Emily (Shopick) Robinson, Ben Hill, Carolyn Wang, Elizabeth (Davis) Lozner, Leah (Campbell) Daly, Claire Riley, Dan Epstein, Maureen McAleer, Deric Corwin, Julia (Henneberry) Sharma, Kristin Sadlon, Kyle Marchesseault, Laura (Jastrem) Walther, Leslie (Kinsey) Segal, Liz Castellani, Lysa Janssen, Rob Winn, Jennifer Holden and Laura (Poplawski) Ma. The happy couple celebrated their big day with a honeymoon in Italy.
Sean Taylor married Robin Rothman with a memorable event built on their love of improv comedy. The happy couple started their relationship five years ago with a laugh when they both performed at the Magnet Theater. The ceremony kicked off with a flash mob of friends re-enacting the "Somebody's Getting Married" song from the Muppets Take Manhattan and entertained the 187 guests from there. Several '99s joined the celebrations, including Nathaniel Rink, Andrew Butterworth, Erik Tanouye, Stephen Jackett, Eric Del Pozo and Jaime (Ober) Jackett.
Congratulations, Scotty and Sean!
Finally, Alex Ghesquiere made sporting news in July when he led his San Francisco-based ultimate Frisbee team to its second world championship title in Japan. This isn't the first time his team, Revolver, won a championship. The team won the world championship in Romania in 2010 and holds two national championship titles as well.
That's all the news for now. I wish you all a happy holiday season and look forward to sharing more updates with you in the New Year!
