third year working for an NGO called Tanzania
People and Wildlife Fund, and I am anticipating
learning how to kill a goat before I leave in Sep-
tember!”
Finally,
James Webler
writes that he went to
the Super Bowl, “which as a Giants fan was very
rewarding. My brother in-law and I ended up pay-
ing as much for parking as we did for two nights.
I also went to Game 5 of the Stanley Cup Final in
hopes that I would see the Cup celebration. So
there is at least one sporting event that remains
on my bucket list.”

It was interesting hearing from people on a
broad range of topics – from cool careers to a
quasi-exotic place of residence, and wedding an-
nouncements and anniversaries.
Patrick McLaughlin
,
for example, said he’s been
working for National Geographic Student Expedi-
tions for the past few years with some fellow Lau-
rentians, including Kelsey Burns ’01, Karen Phillips
’07
and
Alex Verron
.
Pam Hughes
is still working for Logistics Man-
agement Institute. Her current project is with the
National Parks: “I get paid to visit the parks and
help assess their housing needs for park employ-
ees. I'm also on a project with the Navy that has
me traveling to various locations to assess their
needs for new buildings. On average, I travel
about oneweek every five to six weeks,”explained
the George Washington University grad (Master
of Public Policy).
Herb Yancey
,
meanwhile, is living in Copenha-
gen, Denmark. I was in the London study abroad
program with Herb and he was telling me recent-
ly, via Facebook, that he had always wanted to
study in Copenhagen but was hesitant because
of the language barrier. “Now that I am in Copen-
hagen, I know that everyone speaks English,” he
observed.
Herb and Katherine McCabe married last Au-
gust on Oahu. “We had the wedding at a private
residence,” he said. “
Pat Reagan
and
Mitch Sing-
sheim
came to the wedding.
Allie Chapman
and
Monica Phillips
were not able to attend and
were missed.”Herb works for International Wood-
land Company, advising Danish pension funds on
their forest investments around the world.“It is re-
ally interesting and we really enjoy Copenhagen,”
he said.
Also across the pond in Europe,
Sean Brennan
reported that he got engaged in Paris just after
the New Year to Elena Terekhina. He has become
a partner at Cypress Settlements LLC.
Stephanie Shepard Lawless
said she was vis-
iting Canton recently and got to see old friends
and Chi O alums. She lives in Pennsylvania with
her family, including Ryan Lawless ’04.
Kristen Ross DeWilde
graduated from fam-
ily medicine residency at Eglin Air Force Base in
June. She then moved to Dyess Air Force Base in
Abilene, Texas, to become the flight surgeon for
the 39th Airlift Wing. Her husband, Georges, is
stationed at Laughlin Air Force Base in Del Rio,
Texas,“so at least we will be in the same state for a
little while,”she said.
Emily Burns
said she was married to Brian Mor-
gan on May 5, 2012, in Portland, Ore. They back-
packed for three weeks around Colombia for their
honeymoon and then moved back to New York,
where Brian is doing his medical residency in the
Emergency Department at New York Methodist
Hospital in Brooklyn.
Emily received a master’s in literature from Port-
land State University last June, and had been
teaching composition at the college level in Port-
land.“I hope to continue to teach in Brooklyn,”she
said.
I recently ran into
Mary McMeen Kohan
while I
was doing a fundraiser for the Leukemia & Lym-
phoma Society at Ben & Jerry’s Free Cone Day
in Albany. She and her husband celebrated their
wedding anniversary not too long ago. She joined
the Friends of Camp Little Notch, a former Girl
Scout camp not far from Lake George, which has
been a cause
Lindsay Farrar
and a group of other
former Girl Scouts have beenworking on for more
than a year. The camp is open to the public this
fall, with the hope of making it a three-season
facility. Lindsay has been busy with multiple wed-
dings this year (she’s in a few of them) and work-
ing at Equinox in Albany and her growing private
counseling practice.
Chinasa Izeogu Seyse
and Eric ’06 bought a
house in Scotia, N.Y. Chinasa is working full-time
for the Albany Public Library system.
Clementine Vitek Buyle
and Hendrik, married
in Northern Ireland last September, are planning
to move from Belgium to live in Australia, where
they lived a few years ago.
I’ve finally started writing notes for a couple
books that I hope to start putting together by the
end of this year. I’ve also started a new freelance
