Erin Williamson is a research librarian at Callison Architecture. She became a LEED AP (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design Accredited Professional) last November. She has just purchased a condo in Seattle and enjoys working on fibers and jewelry projects in her free time.

Jennifer Gross has officially entered the nursing world after passing the RN exam this winter. She is in the process of completing her nurse-practitioner master’s program at Mass General Hospital in Boston.

After four tough years of medical school, Joanna Grossman graduated in May from Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine. She is starting a pediatrics residency at Rainbow Babies and Children’s Hospital in Cleveland, OH, one of the top-rated hospitals nationwide. After her residency she plans on doing a hematology-oncology fellowship.

Adam Arsenault is living in Portland, OR, while he finishes a master’s degree. He plans on pursuing his doctorate and is leaning toward Ole Miss for next year. If not, he’ll be heading back east to Chattanooga, TN, to live with Dan Rose and Max Poppel to work for a year.

Bostonian Dave Thayer (overthayer@hotmail.com) is a Red Sox fan (and his high-school friends back in Colorado won’t forgive him). After stints working on US-European Union trade issues and inner-city economic development, he has spent the past year and half working for the Conservation Law Foundation, New England’s oldest and largest environmental advocacy organization. Dave is a management consultant with CLF’s sustainability consulting arm. He advises businesses on best practices to address community and environment problems. While Dave misses the powder in Colorado, he is taking full advantage of living near the beach and retreats to Kempton Randolph’s farm in Vermont as often as possible.

In Boston Josh Dennis, Jen Gross, Matt Sweet, and I came out to enjoy the groovy tunes of Seth Hagymasi ’02 at Sweetwater Café. Filling out the crowd were: Dave Charbonneau ’03, Dave Thompson ’02, Dave Lynagh ’02, Robin DePesa ’03, Andrea DeManbey ’03, and, of course, Betty Junker Hagymasi ’03.

Last winter Leigh Feldman married Drew McGrath, an artist and art handler, in a small ceremony attended by friends and family on a private yacht off the coast of Tahiti. Drew is relocating his belongings to Portland, OR, where he will be working in galleries and private-collection purchase consulting, while Leigh stays involved in the local community. She currently works with musicians at a marketing firm and is a volunteer lacrosse coach for a group of junior-high-school girls.

I am looking forward to finishing my PhD by next summer.
