Kochav and I got engaged on Sept. 27th! I graduated from the University of Maryland with a B.A. from the College of Journalism, advertising sequence. I'm living in MD for the meanwhile but yes, I still want to live in Israel! I'm just waiting for the situation to get better. I just have to convince my boyfriend Kochav, he really likes it here. I'm working in an advertising agency in Bethesda called The Dan Rosenthal Co., where my job is to make sure everyone meets their deadlines and keep the flow of things. Basically everything goes through me. I also get to do some creative, graphic design and a little production too. It's a great experience!
   
Josh Banta Birthday July 26; updated October 22, 2001
I wonder if I should perhaps receive the "living in the most random place" award. After working for a year as a lab manager at Brown University in Rhode Island, I have come down here to the University of Tennessee to work on a phD with a specific professor in the Botany department. The scenery is beautiful, and believe it or not there is a Jewish community down here. If any of you will be going to the Smoky Mountains, or driving down to Atlanta, stop by Knoxville and say hello!

David Bernstien updated October 22, 2001
After graduating Wisconsin in 1999 with a degree in Communication Arts, I'm doing well and living in Anne Arundel County. I spent the past two years working with Vector Marketing as a District Manager in Annapolis. I accepted an offer with a company called Cintas, they do business/industrial uniforms, and I will be a sales rep for them in the Baltimore area. It seems like a great company, and after 6 years of being with Vector (the Cutco people) I am excited about the change. It was great seeing many of you again.

Becki Davis Birthday August 17; Updated October 22, 2001
I graduated in 1999 from Guilford College and then went on for my masters which I am expected to recieve in December. Like everyone could probably predict I will have my Masters of Education in Exercise and Sports Scinece from the University of North Carolina at Greensboro. I hope to find a teaching job in December or January somewhere in North Carolina. My boyfriend, Jacob, is currently working for Enterprise so if I cannot find a job in NC we can pretty much move anywhere on the east coast and he will still be able to keep his job. Until then I will continue my job as a bartender/manager at a local resturant which I have worked at through out graduate school. I also keep pretty busy with my dog who I rescued about two years ago, her name is samantha. Last year I recieved an award from the state of NC for excellence in PE. That is pretty much my life in a nutshell. I hardly ever get home to see people so if anyone would like to write me I would love to hear from you.

Jason D Friedlander Birthday August 6; updated February 8, 2005

Jason is finally back in NYC for a year before moving to Philly sometime around 6/05, and is still running his office supply website - GreenLightOffice.com. Recently, he all but gifted Jed a poster, and got nothing but public scorn and ridicule from the same. Jed is still making up.

 

July 13, 2001: Jason is doing well, although his whereabouts have become suspiciusly unknown. We believe he may be involved in top-secret government operatves along the coast of south asia. Either that or he just wants some alone time to figure out when the hell he's going to move back to New York.

I have been very busy the past year and a half: in the same year that my brother had a succesful double-lung transplant (I count this as one of my own accomplishements...go figure...), I graduated from U of Md with a BS in family studies, I applied for and have begun my Masters in Counseling Psychology at Towson, and I met the man who is now my fiance. On the more boring side of things, I live at home right now and I would love to hear from anyone (Rockville Pike gets kind of dull after a few years, you know? :)). WARMEST regards and hugs to all!

Ilya Iofin  

I graduated from Princeton with a degree in molecular biology in 1999. I am now doing my third year of medical school at Washington University in St. Louis. When I grow up, I want to be an orthopaedic surgeon. For now, I am doing my third year clinical rotations, trying to rid the fine city of St. Louis of venereal diseases, strokes, insanity, perianal abscesses and other ailments. I am still lifting weights and getting stronger, slowly but surely. I have even become americanized and am now dating an american girl (I speak English to her all the time!)

Drop me a line or call me (314)534-1898 if you have a chance.

   
Joshua Keller Birthday July 29; Updated October 22, 2001

I recently got engaged to my college sweetheart Lauren from the University of Wisconsin (GO BADGERS!!). I am living in Bethesda with Lauren these days-she is actually working at JDS in the lower school now. The musical stylings of Pearl Jam still tickle my fancy-some things never change.

My first guitar lesson was tough, the strumming thing needs some work. I keep getting the pick stuck on some strings, but practice makes perfect.

Jen Lav Birthday August 19
I'm in NYC now, going to law school at Columbia, in my second year. Two pieces of huge news in my life. First, I got married last spring. My husband's name is Michael Silverman--he is in his last year of med school at Columbia. And, even more exciting, we are expecting our first child! (currently four months pregnant). I hope you all are doing well and I would love to hear from any JDS folks. (ed. note: can you believe this?)

After graduating from Wash U with a double major in history and political science, I'm now in my 3rd year of Law School at the University of Pennsylvania. I (still) have no clue what kind of law I want to practice, but hopefully something interesting will come along. Regardless, I plan on moving back to DC once I'm done with law school - I mean, Philly's nice, but not that nice.

Anyway, my phone number in Philadelphia is (215) 546-7970. I'd love to catch up, so drop me a line sometime.

Debbie Mirman Birthday December 1; updated November 18, 2001

I graduated from McGill University in 1999 with a BA in Psychology - and promptly realized I couldn't really do anything with it! I decided to move back to DC to pursue a Masters in Public Policy at University of Maryland, College Park, which I finished in May 2001. I am now working for NARAL (National Abortion and Reproductive Rights Action League) as the Legal Research Associate. It's pretty interesting work thus far! I'm living here in the DC area and look forward to hearing about what you're all up to. Hope everyone is doing well!

Ellen Solomon Birthday April 12
I graduated from the University of Wisconsin - Madison (shout-out to Keller and Stew) with a BA in Political Science. I lived briefly in Bethesda (sorry, Erica) before moving to Nashville to work for Al Gore's Presidential campaign. We lost. I moved back to DC and, after an intensely stressful period of unemployment, I got a job working for Joe Lieberman as Assistant Press Secretary for the Senate Governmental Affairs Committee. It's lots of fun.

On the relationship front, I'm still not over Josh Keller rejecting me in Israel but I'm happy to report that I'm doing much better with my stalking problem.
