Melissa Hayman-Witman
and
Tim Witman
were married on August 21, 2010, on Newfound
Lake in Hebron, N.H. Melissa recently nished
her Ph.D. in physiology from the University of
Utah. She and Tim are living in Salt Lake City and
enjoying their time there and, I’m sure, got in a lot
of skiing.
I recently took a trip to Santiago, Chile, to visit my
brother, AndrewCook ’00.We traveled all over the
city and up to the beach district inViña del Mar for
their annual festival. Since Chile is in the South-
ern Hemisphere it was summer there. Andrew is
an English professor at Universidad Mayor, the
most competitive college in the country; he loves
his work and the city of Santiago. I’m thinking my
next South American visit we’ll hit up Peru and
see Machu Picchu—one of the perks of having a
brother who lives abroad!

Colby Gargano
married Chris Summers ’07 last
November in Palm Beach, Fla. “It was great to cel-
ebrate with everyone, including our fellow Lau-
rentians representing the classes of 1948 through
2008!”Colby said.
Anna Larson
escaped New York City for adven-
tures in Alaska for a couple of weeks inMarch. She
expected: “sled dog race, snow trains, hot springs,
glacier ski, ferry ride, herring run!”
Greg Kruper
is halfway through his ENT residen-
cy in Detroit. He married “a lovely Canadian girl
by the name of Kristy Cartier”in Paris onMarch 29.
Tora Olafsen
recently started a new job at a
property management software start-up compa-
ny, Buildium, in Boston, and loves it, she said. “My
husband
Ryan Pollock
’s o ce is right around the
corner. He's doing well as a lead software engi-
neer at his company, iFactory, where he has gone
through a few promotions recently.” They live
right in Boston and get to see a lot of Laurentians
since there is such a big group in Boston, includ-
ing many cross-country running alums. They got
a dog in September--a brindle-colored boxer mix,
“weighing in at 60 pounds, super sweet and ador-
able.”
Vanessa de Bruyn
joined the Foreign Service in
January as a public diplomacy coned Foreign Ser-
vice o cer (a "cone" is like a career track, or spe-
cialization, or focus). FSOs are commissioned by
the President of the United States, with the advice
and consent of the Senate. She explained that this
basically means she’s a diplomat. Her rst tour will
be in Sana'a, Yemen, as the embassy's information
o cer (read: spokesperson). She’s there for two
years, beginning in August. Until then, she’s at the
Foreign Service Institute in Arlington, Va., taking
courses in public diplomacy, Arabic and “defen-
sive/counterterrorist driving and explosives and
weapons familiarization,” she said.
I did some fundraising for the Leukemia and
Lymphoma Society recently. I still see people like
Lindsay Farrar
in Albany regularly. As always
you can reach me by email or on Facebook or
Twitter @DanielleSanzone.
