I have to admit that some of this news is rather old. But, like a fine red wine, it only gets more interesting with age. A few months ago, Vivian Marie Rodriguez , BA ‘97, landed a new job as an account coordinator with Austin Knight, a recruitment advertising agency in New York City. Marie told me that although she repeatedly referred to the agency as “Austin Powers” during her interview, no one seemed to notice. This summer she plans to accompany Albert Q. Nguyen to Vietnam and Hong Kong. Joshua Holbreich recently climbed the corporate ladder at the William Morris Agency in Midtown Manhattan. He works hard for his money as the assistant to a literary agent and will undoubtedly find this year’s Bridges of Madison County . I ran into Jennifer M. Lagnado , MA T ‘97, at Zinck’s Night late last year. After completing her master’s degree, Jennifer became a science teacher at the Hommocks Middle School in Westchester County , NY.
The last name of Dave Bolduc ‘94 ’s bride was incorrect in the January/February issue. Her name is Tricia Gaigals. We regret the error, and apologize for any confusion it has caused.
In other nuptial news, Robin Ackerman married Kevin O’Connor last June. The U. of Rochester medical school student reports that Michael Kotlarz ‘94 , Sofia Plataniotis , Mallika Ramanathan , Kelly J. Cheek , Stefanie Schwartz , Ryan Steinberger , Dan Passe , Meredith Byer , Nicole Bleckwenn , Ian Craig , and Alana Banikiotes ‘95 attended her wedding in Washington, DC. A number of classmates sent news about the May wedding of Slade A. Cox and Kristin B. (Joseph) . The guests included Michael G. Power , Nathan J. Brodeur , David J. Lincoln , Nathaniel J. Janssen , Nicole K. Cicerani , Rachel P. LaMorte , Michael B. Capel , Heather J. Kimball , and Paul T. Barnes .
For classmates with an unusually high tolerance for pain, there is the Cornell Law School. Joshua E. Friedman , Nicholas S. Goldin , and Scott R. Goldsmith are second-year law students who continue to brave Ithaca ‘s rather unpleasant climate. In Manhattan , Stacy P. Aronowitz has also “survived” her first year of law school at New York U. , along with Rachel G. Balaban and Gabriel B. Jacobson . Samantha Klein just started law school at Columbia U. last July. On the West Coast, Mabi J. Huang is a student at Santa Clara law school while Christopher M. Kwok battles traffic to get to his law classes at UCLA. Over in Beantown, Seth M. Kean attends Boston U. law school.
Trevor de Clercq , also a Boston resident, works as a manager of scientific research grants at the Harvard Medical School. Trevor recorded an album last summer and would like to open a recording studio someday. He reports that Yves H. Etheart got his master’s in English from Tufts U. , Fani C. Geroff is in law school at the U. of Pennsylvania , and Tiffany A. Prindle finished post baccalaureate pre-med studies at Wellesley College.
Many Cornellians continue to pursue ca reers in the financial services in New York City. John C. Ortolani is a stockbroker at Paine Webber, Kim T. Nguyen switched from Arthur Andersen to J.P. Morgan just last year, and Joshua Babbitt , MS I ‘97, is a business analyst for American Management Systems.
