Tuck Business School grad Tony Llano is back from the Dominican Republic, where he visited family. He describes the trip as “wonderfully rejuvenating and equally distressing”: although delighted to see his relatives, he found it hard to witness the poverty, frustration, and hardship abundant there. Tony chaired a business sustainability conference at Tuck in February and spent a month in China as part of the school’s field study experience. He’ll begin working for John Deere this fall.

Jessica Davis-Irons ’98 and husband Andrew run a theater company called Andhow! Last fall Jessica directed Andrew’s play Non-D, which Backstage magazine called “the model of a perfect play and the most powerful production of 2003.” The couple is now working on Brian “PJ” Cronin’s play, The Curvature of the Earth at the Ohio Theatre in Soho. Jessica is also associate artistic director of Adobe Theatre Company, where she directed Superpowers by Jeremy Dobrish.
