Major Dave Bardorf graduated from Boston University Metropolitan College with an MSBA and says, “It’s nice to have my weekends back.” He was selected as program manager of the year by the Office of the Secretary of Defense for his work on the M1A1 tank in November. Dave, his wife Rene, and children Hayden, 9, and Anna, 18 months, are stationed in Quantico, VA.

Elizabeth Bierbaum Clarke received an MSW from Smith College in 2005. After 12 years of living in the Los Angeles area pursuing theater and photography, she moved to Chicago in November with husband Michael Clarke, whom she married on Nantucket last fall. In attendance on the big day were matron of honor Caroline Baltzer ’88 (new mother to Boone, Elizabeth’s godson), usher Reet Das ’88 (living in Rome for the year), and dear pal Kathleen Gill (a supermom and super attorney near NYC). Elizabeth has turned in her flip-flops for snow boots and is enjoying her new neighborhood, right near Wrigley Field. She is a clinician at an inpatient psychiatric hospital and will begin developing her private practice as a psychotherapist.

Sarah Weck, husband Peter, and daughter Allison live in San Francisco, where Sarah is a technical writer for a software company. They love California and welcome visitors.
