Year in Review

Happy New Year!

Here are some highlights from 2007...

• Ben and Carolyn were married by Ben’s father on Easter Day at Old Trinity Church in Church Creek, MD. In June we took a honeymoon cruise from Vancouver BC to Anchorage, Alaska and drove to Denali N.P. -- completing visits to all 50 states for Ben.
  
• We saw many good friends at our annual Independence Day (now Non-Independence) party, and at a reception with colleagues in Chicago. We also visited San Antonio, TX and Portland, ME.
  
• Carolyn’s office at DHS was moved under FEMA and she is busier than ever. Ben continues to stay busy with FWHA, the Road Gang, and the thankless job of president of their homeowners association.
  
• Carolyn’s youngest Jai finished her first year at Goucher College, appearing in several theater productions including The Tempest. Alas, Goucher proved too small, so Jai is working on transfer applications for next fall and living with her big sister Asha in NYC. Asha’s had an exciting year as a music publicist, including going backstage on Saturday Night Live with her client Björk.
  
• Carolyn’s oldest, Deva, interned at the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Roanoke this summer, and is in his final year at William & Mary Law School. Anyone want to hire a new lawyer?
  
• The Dunn families celebrated Charles Dunn’s 80th birthday together in Danielson CT in August, and had a big Thanksgiving in New Jersey. Ben and Carolyn also had birthdays in big round numbers.
  
• Ben enjoyed watching nieces Hannah and Holly -- all by himself!
