Notes from the Cornell Class of 1991 - 2021 July/August

Class Notes, 2021 July/August

July/August 2021

Greetings from Kennebunk, ME! I’m writing with a grateful heart for all the efforts the medical and scientific community have undertaken to change the course of this pandemic. It’s spring, and I’m noticing every blade of grass as we emerge from a long and distanced winter.

We heard from a few folks this round, some old friends of mine and a note from Julie Chang Leung, who writes that she and her husband, Mark, are proud that their son, Nick ’21, graduated summa cum laude with distinction from the College of Arts & Sciences in December ’20. He completed a double major in Biological Sciences and East Asian Studies and will be applying for medical school in the fall. My good friend Danny Espinoza wrote that he and his wife, Lisa Trovato ’93, are almost ten years into their West Coast experiment. Danny started a new position at Apple and is living in Palo Alto with Lisa and their daughter, Ava, who is a budding singer-songwriter and performer. They are happy, healthy, and looking forward to visiting with family and friends back East in the after times.

Post-pandemic travel is on all our minds, and another good friend, Jit Singh, shared that he is a partner at Deloitte and is living in D.C. with his wife, Lisa, and two high schoolers. He also continues to support City Year’s education mission and sits on their D.C. board. He and the family got to spend the last year of the pandemic watching the wonderous flow of visitors to the nation’s capital, but sadly didn’t get to travel anywhere themselves. He is looking forward to dusting off his passport when it’s safe, maybe reprising their sailing trips in Croatia in 2016 and 2019. New traditions, new hobbies, and new ways to cook have been the latest changes in their household this year. He says to look him up if you are ever in D.C. and wishes everyone a happy 30th Reunion!

As always, hoping you and yours are safe and healthy, and that you are able to enjoy some time with loved ones in back yards, on hiking trails, or over dinner as your vax kicks in. Happy 30th Reunion, everyone, and I hope you have a great summer. Wendy Milks Coburn, wmilkscoburn@me.com;Lori Woodring, lori.woodring@yahoo.comJoe Marraccino, Joe.Marraccino@wfafinet.com; J.
