time to study while working as<br />
an assistant teacher in <strong>the</strong> local<br />
high school and participating in<br />
<strong>the</strong> formation of <strong>the</strong> Cleveland<br />
Arts Center. Sarah Gross Little<br />
enjoys being an active trader in<br />
<strong>the</strong> market and is taking time<br />
to learn more. I’m thrilled to<br />
hear Karrie Cummings Hendrikson’s<br />

two boys, of whom she hopes<br />
to have full adoption by February.<br />

and totally overwhelmed” by<br />
<strong>the</strong> 5-year-old and 23-monthold<br />
boys. Speaking of new boys,<br />
in June, Leigh Wilson Jacobs,<br />
introduced her second son Finch<br />
to a struggling older bro<strong>the</strong>r. I’m<br />
sure Finch’s godmo<strong>the</strong>r Jessica<br />
Johnson will shower lots of love<br />
onto both boys whenever she’s<br />
around. Leigh shared news for<br />

welcomed her daughter Katie.<br />

Re is expecting her first child<br />

Halloween costumes for<br />
mama bee Sarah Lacy and crazy<br />
fuzzy bro<strong>the</strong>r bee Eli. Sarah’s<br />

exhaustion, ending up in <strong>the</strong><br />
hospital! Thank goodness, she’s<br />
feeling better. Her niece Ramie<br />
Bell ’13 has taken some time off<br />
from college to help out with her<br />
kids. Sarah Cole-Turner Vincent<br />
said her daughter would’ve been<br />
envious of our 4th b-day party.<br />
She has bought and refurbished<br />
a house. Let <strong>the</strong> visitors arrive!<br />
She enjoys her job, which<br />
allows her to combine her tech<br />
expertise with speech pathology<br />
to change children’s lives.<br />
Expect <strong>the</strong> next note to come<br />
from Kathryn Leigh DeRossitt<br />
who has excitedly accepted <strong>the</strong><br />
opportunity to be class secretary.<br />
It’s been a wonderful experience<br />
and I look forward to hearing<br />
from and about y’all soon!<br />
