After dropping out of sight due to a 10 year stint in Tokyo, the Alumni Office reconnected and gently suggested I do my bit and collect remarks for the bulletin. Besides badgering classmates for personal details, I work for Factiva, an online news aggregator, and live with my wife Izumi and children Tyler (5) and Julia (2) a few miles to the west of Princeton, NJ in a town surrounded by farmland with one traffic signal that goes blinking yellow at 10 PM.

It was wonderful to see those of you that made it to the 20th reunion. It was a beautiful New England Spring day where the sky is more blue, and the grass more green than you remember and it was great be in the company of old friends. To those that didn’t make it, let’s just say we enjoyed sharing your past and pondering your future. Notes from others that have written in are collected below – if you want in on the next cycle, I can be reached at: ian@pobox.com.

Scott Kitson has taken over as President and CEO of the family insurance and real estate business in Bermuda. He and his wife, Susan, are celebrating 10 years of marriage with children Matthew (8), Quincy (6), and James (3). Christie Whitcomb is living in Brookline and an active volunteer for the Junior League and Vincent Club which is affiliated with Mass General. She is looking forward to a possible trip to Ireland in the fall. Margaret Fowle is living in Huntington, VT with her husband Breck and their 19 month-old daughter, Ada. She works part time as a wildlife biologist for the National Wildlife Federation as the, “Peregrine Falcon & Eagle person.” Sanjay Bhardwaj writes from sunny San Francisco where he has been a Product Manager for Cisco for 11 years. When he’s not cruising the ‘hood in his minivan with his wife Aparna and two boys Anikait (3) and Nikash (1), he’s out cycling and playing pick up basketball. Mike & Mimi (Freund) McFadden are busy with Schoolworks, their consulting business. Three children, Ledyard (6), Margaret (4), and Jack (2), liberally decorate their Beverley, MA home with “plastic toys, crayons, and sippy cups.” Nobel Bellosillo realized at Yale that the path of least resistance was not to master the art of drama but a career in medicine. He now works with the Beth Israel Deaconess Hospital in Boston and is on the faculty at Harvard Medical School. He and his partner of 9 years, Jim, are contemplating getting married now that it is legally recognized in Massachusetts. Andrew Hoffman is currently living in San Francisco in the Presidio, a former military post that is now a national park. He recently accepted a position at Tibco Software and is now responsible for marketing the company’s portal solution. Andrew encourages Middlesex alumni to look him up, particularly those who own sailboats or are interested in buying portal software. Jody Holden is working for Citigroup in NYC. She and her husband Chris Norman, a professional flute player, are expecting their first child in November. John Baylor is calling his fourth summer of minor league baseball and eleventh season of Husker Volleyball in 2004. Sadly he is not paid by the syllable. He also enjoys running his company, Baylor Test Prep at his tropical childhood home of Lincoln, NE. Meanwhile, his wife Susan and he live a life void of dull moments due to their two young daughters, Chloe and Antonia. All Middlesex classmates traversing the country on I-80 are urged to exploit the offer of free lodging at his place. Nelson Hayden joined the neighborhood glee club.
