Notes from the Cornell Class of 1991 - 2018 March/April

Class Notes, 2018 March/April

March/April 2018

What a freezing start to this year we had! The nesting required made me dig into some New Year’s resolutions, but after we got the thaw we’re back to normal. We only have a couple of notes this month, starting with a classmate’s very impressive service to our country. Jennifer Caci has made a career of working in the Active Duty Army. She just returned from her seventh combat deployment and is hoping to retire soon. She would like to hear from Nick Gaiano, and she thanks CSM(R) Frank McFadden for influencing the direction of her life. I would like to thank her for her service, and for the freedom we enjoy every day. My company, TD Bank, values and prioritizes hiring veterans for good jobs after returning from these military theaters.

Classmate Julie Dugoff Waxman launched Baked in Color in May 2016. In addition to her site, www.baked incolor.com, they are live at TurnstyleNYC, 58th and Broadway at Columbus Circle. They hope to roll out additional locations in NYC. In the meantime, they ship to all 50 states within the US. Steve Shimony and his wife, Stacy, recently celebrated their daughter Rebecca’s bat mitzvah over Thanksgiving weekend. “It actually caused us to miss the Cornell-BU hockey game at the Garden, which the boys and I have attended every year since its inception. We partied all night at the bat mitzvah with Alan Leibel, Michael Whitman, Jeff Bregman ’90, and Will Walter ’90. We even had some nephews and a niece celebrating with us who also had to miss the game: Erin Gross ’17, Adam Hirsch ’17, and Daniel Hirsch ’20. It was a very special night!”

For myself, I am still here as a mom, wife, and market- er, keeping it real in a dual income household in America. I’ve found a blog that represents my view on how “easy” it all is: “I Mom So Hard.” Check those ladies out. Hope you all have a happy and healthy 2018.
