This fall Suzi Piker took a hiatus from the Portland (ME) Press Herald to study audio storytelling at SALT Institute for Documentary Studies in Portland. She encourages alumni in Maine to give her a shout at suzipiker@gmail.com.

Sinem Varoglu is in NYC pursuing her music career. Her debut album, When I Don’t Sleep (under her new artist name, Sinem Saniye), was released on her own label, 6/8 Records. It has garnered buzz in Europe and Turkey, as well as radio airplay in Puerto Rico; U.S. Global Rhythm magazine chose it as one of the top 10 best albums of 2008. Sinem has also won several national and international songwriting awards. She can be contacted at myspace.com/sinem or www.sinem.net.

I was married to Andrew Jones last June in a beautiful outdoor ceremony in Groton, MA. We are living outside of Boston, where I am an RN at Winchester Hospital and hope to complete a nurse-practitioner program this year.
